Chapter 62 Controlling Risks
The island nation's Shinto system believes that death creates impurity. The earliest mention of a ritual to remove impurities is the Gyoba ceremony performed in the Gyoba River when Izanagi escaped from the underworld after escaping from his deceased wife.

Cemeteries are, of course, "dirty" places and are taboo places.

It is also for this reason that even in Kasumi City, those people of noble status will not be buried in the city after death, let alone the Kamizakura Main Shrine which is regarded as a sacred place.

"but."

Hasjo Senjuro looked at Shiraishi's tombstone.

"Even the former, honorable Grand Priest was buried in such a desolate place after his death. The people of the Shenying Headquarters are truly heartless..."

He took a wooden spoon, scooped water from the barrel, and gently poured water on the tombstone.

After completing this step, he began to silently wipe the tombstone clean with a cloth.

As the owner of a large chamber of commerce, he does not need to do the tomb sweeping himself. Renjo Senjuro is accompanied by dozens of servants and guards.

Three girl dolls in different costumes stood behind him. A little further away from the tombstone, a group of bald male attendants with their eyes blindfolded in crimson cloth and carrying knives stood in a neat row.

Considering the frequent risk of assassination, Renjo Senjuurō is not without guards around him.

He spent a lot of money to buy three autonomous fighting dolls. They can tear the human body apart with their bare hands and smash rocks with their fists. Their bodies are covered with various mechanisms. It is not easy to say whether they can fight against monsters, but they are indeed very difficult to deal with when they are enemies with "humans".

As for those bald servants armed with swords, they are no ordinary people. In terms of defensive strength, it can be said that they are quite sufficient.

After all, Renjo Senjuro is a businessman, not an exorcist, and he doesn't need to go to extremely dangerous places to deal with demons and monsters.

Even if someone intended to kill him, it would most likely be the same person. Theoretically, as long as Renjo Senjuurou stayed as close to the city as possible, the danger would not be that great.

On the other hand, although he has so many subordinates around him, this man always does the tomb sweeping himself and never asks others to do it.

"I'm bothering you again, Miss Midori."

Lianzhang Senjuro clasped his hands together gently and said as if praying, "I went to see that child before. It's been more than ten years now. She has grown into a beautiful young lady, just like you back then."

He murmured to himself, "She's grown up healthy and is almost old enough to get married..."

After talking for a while, Renjo Senjuro's voice suddenly stopped.

"You idlers... could you at least let me finish sweeping the graves before you come out?"

"That won't work."

The speaker chuckled coldly.

"If Lord Lianzhang spreads the news and attracts outsiders, we won't have any chance."

Two figures walked slowly towards them from the darkness.

One of the figures was wearing a kimono with wide cuffs.

He was a young man with a pale face and wore a pair of small round black sunglasses.

The other one was a tall and strong man with slightly messy black hair and a fur-covered outfit. He looked like a wild man from the mountains.

"I am Jinye, 'Nifuku' from the Eight Blessings Society."

The young man in the blue kimono announced his origins.

"This is my companion, his name is Kuki."

After casually introducing the people around him, the young man who called himself "Shen Ye" smiled. His face was pale and bloodless, but his teeth showed a ferocious gleam.

"We've come here this time to discuss this with Lord Lian Zhang. If this matter can be resolved without conflict, that would be great—"

In an instant, the white object spread rapidly.

"fog!?"

Just as Renjo Senjuro was frightened, in less than a few breaths, the white fog had blocked the cemetery and the mixed woods.

"Is this the first time you've seen this kind of barrier?"

Before I knew it, thick fog filled the air, which was obviously not naturally formed.

The eerie white fog expanded and surrounded the area in an instant, and even the scenery outside the cemetery appeared hazy.

"Is this a Qimen Dunjia-like formation? They're really well prepared!"

Renjo Senjuro could only smile bitterly.

Looking up, you can see that the thick fog has even blocked the night sky.

He knew very well that it was a profound magic that was passed down from the Central Plains. With the combined efforts of the formation and the barrier, this area was completely blocked.

"I don't want to make a big fuss."

Shen Ye spread out the fan in his hand.

"However, it is not realistic for Lord Lian Zhang to leave here."

He waved the fan in his hand, and the soil around the cemetery was rolled up, and countless bony hands stretched out.

One after another, white bones emerged from the ground. Their bare bodies absorbed the surrounding soil and rocks, slowly turning into flesh and blood, and then returning to their pre-death appearance.

After the dead are resurrected, expressions of resentment appear on their faces. They naturally hate the living and desire the flesh and vitality of the living.

"Resurrection magic?!"

Renjo Senjuro's face turned ashen.

"Yes, it is the soul-returning technique created by Master Xixing."

Shen Ye smiled and said, "Mr. Lianzhang, you should recognize this person, right?"

A woman in a white kimono walked over slowly.

"No, it's impossible..."

He widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

"--Ms. Midori." Renjo Senjuurō's body froze.

He seemed to be trapped in shackles of ice, unable to move at all.

……

It's almost time to start.

As the thick fog formed, Baijie knew that the assassination of Renjo Senjuro should begin.

"Although I don't know the exact time, the game states that he was attacked while visiting the graves. It would be easy to find out when he visited the graves..."

He knew it deep down.

However, Renjo Senjuro's daily schedule is very secretive, and outsiders cannot know when he goes to visit the graves.

Therefore, if Baijie wants to find out the truth about this matter, he must ask Gehua for help. Only she has the connections to find out Renjo Senjuro's itinerary.

As expected, Ge Hua quickly obtained key information without spending too much effort.

Baijie was also greatly shocked by this.

"Miss Gehua... I heard that the guys at Lianzhang Chamber of Commerce are very tight-lipped. What... no, I mean, what tricks did you use to get such confidential information?"

'I won't do it in a rough way.'

Ge Hua snorted coldly, "Besides, I'm well aware of how tight the seals on the Lianzhang Chamber of Commerce are. I've tried to bribe people before, but to no avail... As for using methods like torture, brainwashing, and seduction, they have specialized sorcerers monitoring them regularly. Besides, the members of the Chamber of Commerce all live together, so finding loopholes isn't easy."

However, she still has her way.

"So, how did they do it?"

"I found that little girl."

"what?"

"It's that little brat named Ye Ya. I asked her to tip me off."

"Ye Ya...but why did she do this?"

Faced with Baijie's questions, Ge Hua smiled without saying anything.

In fact, she didn't put in much effort.

The moment she left the Chamber of Commerce, she secretly hid a small Shikigami on the girl.

After all, the other party is a potential rival in love (although she is relatively young, we must be on guard against her in advance), so it is necessary to monitor her.

In addition, that little paper Shikigami, in addition to being able to eavesdrop, also has the function of transmitting messages.

Ge Hua found a chance when Ye Ya was alone and used the Shikigami to secretly communicate with the girl.

"I need to ask you something, kid."

"Who are you?"

Ye Ya stared at the Shikigami floating in the air with great vigilance.

"No, I remember your voice. Are you the noble lady from the Kurohimeyama family yesterday?"

"You have a good memory."

Ge Hua praised.

Only then did she realize that this little girl was quite smart. While pretending to be calm while talking to her, the little girl secretly shook the bell in her sleeve - that was the bell that could send a warning to the warlocks in charge of guarding the Chamber of Commerce.

"...That bell is useless. I've put up a barrier to block the signal."

Ge Hua said slowly.

"Listen carefully, little girl. What I'm about to say is related to him. If you're not interested, leave here. This Shikigami will self-destruct. Even if you go to Renjo Senjuro and accuse me, no one will believe you without any evidence."

She suddenly changed the subject: "But if you really want to help that person, then you might as well listen to what I have to say..."

The girl blinked, said nothing, and listened quietly to Ge Hua's words.

……

"What a clever girl."

Afterwards, Ge Hua had to admit that it was convenient to communicate with smart people.

After hearing her words, Ye Ya understood the intention of the second lady of the Heijishan family.

"You...are planning to let me be your insider?"

"Don't say it so harshly. This is nothing more than cooperation and mutual assistance."

"Are you planning on doing something by inquiring about President Lian Zhang's itinerary?"

"No, on the contrary, I want to do him a favor."

"Then...what benefits can I gain?"

When Ye Ya said this, there was a cunning light in her eyes. It was not the eyes of a little girl at all, but like the eyes of a mercenary fox.

snort!
Ge Hua sneered in her heart.

She knew this was the case. If she left him alone, he would attract a lot of trouble and cause trouble.

Therefore, we must control the risks.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing an icy smile.

"I'll lend him to you...but—"

"For one day only."
