Chapter 1030: Seemingly Real or Illusory
When Urameshi Yusuke heard Mudan's cry, he subconsciously looked to the side and saw a huge hand whizzing towards him.

boom!
Half of his face was smashed into a ball, and the whole person was blown away by the huge force.

"how come."

Urameshi Yusuke climbed up from the ground with difficulty, looking at the Steel Demon who had grown bigger, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"You won't get another chance!"

The Steel Ghost walked forward with a sinister grin, pinched the boy's head with two fingers and lifted it in front of him.

"Let him go!!"

Mudan used her spiritual power to create a noise again, but this attack hit Steel Ghost's already darkened skin and couldn't even break a layer of oily skin.

"You should be thankful that you are still useful, otherwise..."

For some reason, the Steel Ghost did not kill him. Instead, he said, "The King of Hell has recently found a new scavenger, right? If you want this guy to live, bring him to me. The location is still here."

After saying that, it no longer paid attention to Mudan, grabbed Urameshi Yusuke with one hand, and disappeared into the forest after a few jumps.

"hateful!!"

Mudan fell to the ground, with a hint of struggle in her eyes.

At the same time, Amber, far away on the other side of the city, began the first mission of her scavenger career.

This was the tip that came from the map on his watch as he was wandering the streets.

According to the compass above, Abe quickly found his destination.

This is a traditional wooden house that is many years old. The buildings inside are all made of wood, which is very rare in today's modern Tokyo.

"Excuse me. What can I do for you?"

Perhaps because she had been standing there for too long, the door of the wooden house was pushed open from the inside, and an old lady walked out with a hunched back.

Before she even got close, Amber could already smell a rotten smell.

"No, just looking."

Amber hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.

"I see. There are very few passers-by here anymore. Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

The old lady smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "If the guests don't mind my old house."

"Well, thank you for the treat."

Amber nodded and followed him in.

Just as you can see from the outside, the whole house is in a very dilapidated state, with the formwork broken in many places. Although there are some things placed on it, it is still a bit scary to step on it.

"Since my old man left, this place has become increasingly run-down."

The old lady tremblingly took out the tea set from the cupboard and said, "Please sit here for a while, my guest. I'll go get some snacks."

The hot water is ready, and the tea leaves are tender green. After brewing, in addition to the refreshing taste, there is also a bitter taste.

Amber didn't know what kind of tea this was, and she wasn't used to this way of drinking tea.

He just kept looking around the wooden house, looking for possible monsters or something else.

However, after searching around, nothing was found.

But it is clearly marked on the map, so there is a high probability that no accidents will occur.

While she was thinking, the old lady quickly came back with a wooden plate in her hand.

A few pieces of Dorayaki and some dried fruits similar to candied fruits were placed on top.

"Thank you."

Amber took a bite of food and a sip of tea. "Excuse me, is there anything strange happening here?"

"Something strange?"

The old lady who was wiping the table was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled: "No, the sun rises and sets every day, and nothing strange has ever happened."

"I see. I am being presumptuous."

Amber took another sip of the tea. It tasted strange at first, but the more she drank it, the better it tasted.

The same goes for the dried fruits. They taste very sour at first, but after eating a few more bites, they have a different taste.

It is quite distinctive.

"Thank you for your hospitality." "You're welcome. I haven't had any strange guests here for a long time."

The old lady smiled happily, and it was obvious that she was happy from the bottom of her heart: "People nowadays are no longer willing to stop and look at the scenery around them. They always come and go in a hurry."

Amber pursed her lips and didn't respond.

For him, similar feelings no longer existed. After integrating the experiences from other worlds, his heart was calm most of the time.

This is a bit like the three levels of viewing a mountain, in which the final level is viewing the mountain as a mountain, which has a sense of returning to nature.

"Where are your family members? Are they still there?"

"Family"

The old lady shook her head. "Do you like my tea?"

"very nice."

Amber praised, raising her glass.

"That's enough."

The old lady smiled even more brightly, "Well, I look forward to seeing you next time, Mr. Scavenger."

Ok? !

Amber was stunned, and the scenery in front of her began to change. After just a few breaths, the wooden house and other things just now disappeared, leaving only a piece of empty space full of traces of time.

It was able to hide from my spiritual perception. That thing just now was quite interesting.
If the taste in my mouth hadn't disappeared, it would have been almost like an illusion.

He thought so.

"An Zhiwu Scavenger!!"

Just then, Peony's voice came from far away in the sky.

Amber looked up and saw that the spirit detective had an anxious look on his face, as if he had encountered something serious.

"Something big happened!!!"

"Calm down and speak slowly."

"Oh, breathe in."

Mudan took a deep breath, then immediately shouted, "Yusuke-kun has been captured by a bad guy, and he specifically asked you to come over."

"Oh?"

Amber raised her eyebrows, feeling even more suspicious: "Tell me in detail."

"Here's the thing."

Mudan immediately told Urameshi everything about how the three dark treasures were stolen, how she asked Urameshi Yusuke to investigate, and how she was finally captured.

"That steel ghost had lost, but somehow it suddenly gained stronger power and even knew your name. There must be a conspiracy!"

"So do you think I should go?"

Amber asked amusedly.

Mudan, who was talking a lot, suddenly choked up and became listless.

"Yusuke-kun, why don't you go check it out?"

"Of course I'll go and see it."

Amber exhaled softly, "Where is the location?"

"Ah, I'll take you there right away."

Mudan immediately revived with full health and rode on a broom to lead the way.

Amber followed behind, seemingly oblivious to what had just happened.

A few hours later.

As the sky darkened, in a forest in the suburbs, two figures walked up the mountain road and finally stopped in front of an open space.

Several large trees that were forcibly broken were lying on the ground. When the wind blew, the leaves on them rustled, as if they were telling something.

"That's it. We have to be careful. That Steel Ghost has become very strong!"

Mudan looked around and spoke cautiously.
