I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 137: The Witch and the Debt Collector (Revenge plot, can be skipped)

Misaka Yana gently stroked the magatama hanging on her chest, calling softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Snake God, are you there?"

Suddenly, a vague snake hissing sound rang quietly in Misaka Yana's ears, and then she noticed that the wall next to her was slightly bulging, and a small bag gradually appeared.

She reached out her hand to touch the wall, and her delicate palm suddenly felt the small bag constantly bumping against it.

Feeling this subtle movement, Misaka Yana felt a little relieved, but her eyes soon became solemn.

She quickly took off her leather shoes, leaving only her three-fold socks, and stepped lightly on the wooden boards of the corridor.

The rustling sound was subtle, almost imperceptible; it was the sound of her thin socks rubbing against the wooden floor.

She pressed herself against the wall and slowly moved forward.

Finally, she reached out and grasped the bedroom door handle, took a deep breath, and with a click, the door opened.

What caught my eye was the mess in the house. Drawers were opened one by one, clothes and study materials were scattered all over the floor and piled up randomly, appearing messy and disorganized.

The scene before Misaka Yana undoubtedly confirmed the reality that she was most reluctant to face.

"Sure enough, someone is coming!"

She sighed secretly in her heart and completely abandoned her previous hope.

She gently swallowed the saliva rising up in her throat, quickened her pace involuntarily, and walked straight towards the drawers that were being rummaged through.

She knew the location of every piece of clothing and item in the house. After all, she had to deal with the garbage created by that man every day when she got home.

As for every detail of the family's property, she knew it like the back of her hand.

So she headed straight for the place where her family savings were kept with a clear goal in mind.

The eye-catching red drawer was suddenly pulled open, and Misaka Yana quickly moved a yellow plastic bag aside. Her eyes fixed on the bottom of the empty box, and her heart suddenly sank.

"Were you targeted by a thief? How dare he break into my home in broad daylight!"

"Do you want to call the police?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly rejected it.

After all, the man had just disappeared, and if the police were alerted because of the theft in his home, it would probably cause more unnecessary trouble, which would not be worth the cost.

Thinking of this, Misaka Yana couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Can I just bear this loss silently?"

Then, Misaka Yana started picking up the various sundries scattered on the ground one by one and threw them into the trash can without hesitation.

As she approached the trash can, an unexpected detail suddenly caught her attention.

A cigarette butt lay quietly in it.

"Cigarette butt? How could a thief…"

Misaka Yana suddenly realized the problem.

You know, thieves are usually not so calm as to leisurely smoke a cigarette at the crime scene and then leave.

If there really are such stupid thieves, they would be a crime that is simply delivered to the police's doorstep.

Looking at the appearance of the cigarette butt, Misaka Yana had a complicated expression.

……

"Hey, have you noticed? In addition to the usually cold and aloof shrine maiden, there seems to be a new face recently, a shrine maiden who looks like a gentle high school student!"

"I've had the pleasure of meeting her. Her voice is really very gentle. I've never seen her before. She must be a new trainee witch!"

"The new trainee shrine maiden is indeed very gentle and cute, but I think the aloof shrine maiden is more attractive!"

"..."

"Really, bro? You really got selected?"

Ryuji Takasaka listened to the two slightly taller young men in front of him talking incessantly.

"Tsk, tsk."

To be honest, deep down he was actually quite envious of this kind of harmless prank between friends.

At school, he is always excluded by his peers due to his fierce appearance and has difficulty integrating into the group.

Ever since he acquired extraordinary abilities and was directly admitted to university, he has basically never returned to campus.

Now, he basically just needs to wait for the graduation process and get that “certificate”.

Shaking his head, Takaoka Ryuji lowered his head and continued to study the notes in his hand attentively.

The notebook is densely packed with information about various shrines in Shimane Prefecture.

Before this, he had visited many famous shrines such as Izumo Shrine, but unfortunately, the gourd in his hand did not give any response.

Of course, he was not sure whether it was accurate to use the gourd as a basis for judgment.

But Mr. Yu didn't say much for some reason. For him, this seemed to be the only feasible and clumsy method.

Ryuji Takasaka leaned over and carefully wrote down the information of the previous shrine in his notes, then his eyes fell on the simple and unpretentious shrine in front of him.

Castle Shrine.

According to ancient records, the deity enshrined here is Takemikata, a famous deity among the Kunitsu gods.

According to legend, when Takemikaze God descended to the mortal world and demanded the Izumo Kingdom from Okuninushi, Takemikata God, the son of Okuninushi, stepped forward and started a contest with Takemikaze God.

This duel was regarded by later generations as the origin of sumo wrestling, and Takemikata-gami was therefore regarded as the god of sumo.

In many legends and stories, because both of them are gods of war and their battles are heavily based on fate, they are often portrayed as opposing sides.

In fact, in addition to being both gods of war, they also each possess a secondary godhood, one is the god of wind and the other is the god of thunder.

The abilities of the two protagonists in a certain ninja anime are similar to those of this pair of gods.

The two gods of wind and thunder are being alluded to.

After a simple worship, Ryuji Takata stroked the gourd at his waist and sighed helplessly.

Then, he quickly wrote down the information about the castle shrine in his notebook, thinking about it in his mind.

"Sure enough, we came up empty-handed again!"

Considering that the leakage at the research base may be related to the top leaders, after discussing with Minister Miki, Takasaka Ryuji decided to look for the help mentioned by Mr. Yu in private.

When Gao Banlong was about to leave, he suddenly thought of the blessing of the God of War.

Considering the upcoming fight with Ryomen Sukuna, it is very likely that there will be a fight.

He walked to the store nearby.

"Please give me a talisman!"

……

"Misaka-san, did you notice? The aura of that classmate just now was so scary, and his appearance was also..."

The girl who had come into contact with Takasaka Ryuji confided to Misaka Yana beside her with lingering fear.

"Misaka-san?"

Misaka Yana was brought back to reality in a trance.

"Ah?" She suddenly came to her senses and quickly apologized to the girl, "Sorry, I was thinking about something else just now."

Misaka Yana's fingers gently stroked the magatama on her chest, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the conversation with the shrine chief in the morning.

[This is not owned by the shrine, so please keep it if you like.]

"I mean, that high school student who just walked over there looks so fierce!" Misaka Yana couldn't help but feel curious when she heard the girl's description. She leaned her head out and followed Ryuji Takasaka's gradually receding back.

Suddenly, an inexplicable aura of danger emanated from the other person, making her involuntarily tense up.

Misaka Yana also felt this breath, and she looked at Takasaka Ryuji's back in disbelief.

"Could it be that……"

Is he the legendary extraordinary person?
However, the girl did not speak out all her guesses, but chose to swallow the rest of her words silently.

……

"I am back!"

Misaka Yana walked into the house as usual and habitually started the familiar process of returning home.

But what was unusual was that an unexpected greeting suddenly came from deeper in the corridor.

"Welcome back!"

The sudden sound made Misaka Yana, who was bending down to take off her shoes, open her eyes suddenly.

Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a clear sound of a door opening behind her.

Then, a man with dyed blond hair and wearing sunglasses followed her in from the main gate and appeared in her sight.

"Oh my, I didn't expect to run into that guy's daughter?"

The yellow-haired man in sunglasses said this as he strode towards Misaka Yana, intending to force her into a corner.

He stretched out his hand and was about to take action, but suddenly met Misaka Yana's resistant eyes.

Think of the boss's arrangement.

"whispering sound!"

He muttered something under his breath before positioning himself to block the doorway to prevent Sakayana from escaping.

Misaka Yana, who was in the corner, took the opportunity to glance in the direction of the sound that had just come from inside the room.

She saw a young man with earrings and short hair staring at her greedily.

As if he noticed Misaka Yana's gaze, a hint of confidence flashed in the short-haired young man's eyes, and then he began to explain.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Misaka! Perhaps you don't know yet, but your father owes us a large sum of money. According to the agreement, if you cannot repay it on time on the day you come of age, you will be handed over to us."

The short-haired young man's gaze made Misaka Yana feel a little uncomfortable. She raised her hands involuntarily and blocked herself in front of her, as if to block out the unpleasant sight.

"You were the intruders in our house yesterday!"

There was a hint of anger in Misaka Yana's voice.

The short-haired young man sat at the dinner table, looking at Misaka Yana intently, and then he said with a gloating tone.

"After all, according to the timetable, we need to ask that guy for the loan, so how can we let him break in?"

"In the end, I didn't expect that guy would abandon his daughter and run away. What a scumbag!"

Having said that, the short-haired young man's eyes suddenly became somewhat relieved. He looked at Misaka Yana and continued.

"But then again, your beauty is much more attractive than your father's debt. With your outstanding appearance, believe me, it only takes a few years to pay off all the debts!"

Having said that, the short-haired young man and the yellow-haired man behind him looked at each other, and both of them showed a lewd smile at the corners of their mouths.

"In fact," the short-haired young man said with a hint of ill intention, "if you stay in the industry for a few more years, you might be able to save enough for the rest of your life!"

After hearing the short-haired young man's explanation, a hint of "fear" flashed in Misaka Yana's eyes.

"industry?"

The short-haired young man put his hands under his chin and said proudly.

"We are members of the nearby Kato Group! On weekdays, we are mainly responsible for filming movies and taking care of the daily work of the casino."

At this point, he stretched out his hand, twisted it, and made a gesture to ask for money. "Of course, sometimes I also do some debt collection work."

The "fear" in Misaka Yana's eyes became more and more intense, and her voice almost began to tremble.

"Then my father's debt is also owed to you..."

Before they finished speaking, the two looked at each other again and started laughing.

Then, they said with a cunning look on their faces: "It's not like we forced him to gamble!"

At this moment, the short-haired young man seemed to lose his patience. He slowly said, "Azhu, do it!"

Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired man in sunglasses revealed a cruel smile. He then took out a towel from behind and walked towards Misaka Yana step by step.

"It's no use shouting your throat out. We've checked the residents around here, and there won't be anyone here at this time!"

The sound of footsteps is getting closer and closer.

However, Misaka Yana suddenly raised her head, and the panic she had before completely disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of coldness in her eyes.

"That would be great!"

When the yellow-haired man's eyes met Misaka Yana's, a chill ran straight down his spine, and an unprecedented sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

He was about to stop when Misaka Yana's cold voice echoed in the empty house.

"Please, Lord Snake God!"

Rumble!
With a deafening sound, an extremely huge snake head suddenly emerged from the wall and swallowed the head of the man with sunglasses and yellow hair at an astonishing speed.

Crunch!

The moment the head disappeared, the yellow-haired man's body seemed to have lost all its vitality. He let out a dull thud and fell to the ground powerlessly.

Blood gushed out, splattering all around, and a sickening smell of rust filled the air.

The young man with short black hair witnessed all this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and fear froze his blood like ice.

He looked at Misaka Yana with trembling eyes, only to see that she was tightly surrounded by a huge rock snake, and at her feet was the headless body of her partner, with blood flowing like a river, staining the ground red.

The two of them stared at him intently.

At this moment, Misaka Yana's image was completely subverted in his eyes.

The weak sheep of the past are no longer there, replaced by vicious wolves that choose their prey.

At this moment, the short-haired young man thought of the extraordinary news that was everywhere. All the discomfort and fear were combined into one sentence, and he muttered to himself.

"extraordinary……"

Then, he seemed to wake up suddenly, quickly fell to his knees, and kowtowed to Misaka Yana.

The ground was thumping as he knocked on it, and the rapid sound echoed in the corridor with a hint of regret.

"Please spare me, spare me, please! I'm just a small thug working downstairs!"

"Please be magnanimous and let me go!"

Looking at the humble and fawning short-haired young man in front of her, and thinking of the man who was the same that night, Misaka Yana felt nauseous.

She suppressed her disgust and gently stroked the neck of the giant rock snake.

Then, she put her head on him and whispered slowly, "Please..."

Whoosh!
Accompanied by a gust of rapid wind, the giant rock snake suddenly moved.

It opened its huge mouth, rushed forward quickly, then swung its tail violently and rolled up the short-haired young man.

"Ahhhhh!!!"
