While Chen Yu was handling various tasks, some matters, though no longer driven by his intervention, continued to operate independently under the watchful eyes of various factions.
Although the matter of breaking the taboo between life and death was fully overseen by Chen Yu, the intricate entanglement of deities and mortal forces involved was far-reaching. Not only did the Japanese Government take part, but the deities led by the Inari God had their hands in it as well.
Among these, the two ghouls overseeing Meiji Shrine in Tokyo were particularly invested in the issue.
On one hand, the matter occurred in Tokyo, and as the Guardians of Tokyo, these two ghouls were duty-bound to keep an eye on it.
On the other hand, they were naturally incentivized by the Inari God, who promised ample rewards should they facilitate this affair successfully—a far better outcome than standing in the Inari God's way and being crushed.
