Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

It is no longer in use, but the waterway still exists.

Hoshino Rin followed behind Haruhiko, wanting to speak several times.

However, seeing how serious he looked, I didn't disturb him.

He stopped in front of a well.

Hoshino Rin was slightly taken aback and asked, "Is the murderer in the well?"

Haruhiko hesitated upon hearing this.

But he still chose to believe the fish in the river.

If I've been cheated, I'll just take them out and steam them when I get back.

"Ah."

Qingyan nodded, took out a talisman, handed it to her, and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

The talisman is a spirit armor talisman.

Its main function is to generate a suit of armor, which has a defensive effect.

But it can also be waterproof and provide lighting.

Hoshino Rin glanced at the deep well, hesitated for a moment, and chose to trust Haruhiko.

She reached out, pinched the lollipop in her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and crushed it in a few bites.

Hearing the crisp sound, Haruhiko inexplicably felt a chill.

Hoshino Rin seems to have very good teeth.

After finishing the lollipop, she parted her red lips slightly, spat out the plastic stick into a nearby trash can, and then threw out the talisman.

Psychic energy materialized into armor, covering her body.

It added a touch of heroic spirit to her appearance.

After Qingyan did the same thing, he handed her a few more talismans.

In fact, Hoshino Rin also has quite a few talismans.

However, she did not refuse Haruhiko's kindness.

Buffer symbol.

Haruhiko was the first to jump into the well.

When I was above the water, I felt a faint sense of lightness.

The speed suddenly slowed down.

He was able to jump to the open space to the side.

Soon, Hoshino Rin also landed.

Her eyes narrowed, and with the faint light of her spirit armor, she saw the passage on the well wall.

Under normal circumstances, a well should not have such a passage.

Hoshino Rin stepped forward and observed for a moment, then said, "The marks are fresh."

She turned to look at Haruhiko, a hint of surprise on her delicate face.

Perhaps they really did find the murderer.

She became increasingly curious about Haruhiko.

As the young lady of the Izumo Shrine, she had seen almost all kinds of spells.

But his actions just now were very inexplicable.

I don't know what method was used.

"That should be correct."

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief, clutching the talisman of the Priest Star Shield, and walked forward.

The passageway was relatively tidy at the beginning, but it became messy in the latter half.

"What tools were used to carve this?"

Haruhiko reached out and wiped away the surface mud, revealing deep scratches.

It's like a machine, and also like a claw.

"Otherworldly Demons".

Hoshino Rin glanced at it and then said with certainty.

Haruhiko found it unbelievable.

Do demons dig tunnels?

It feels quite out of place.

"Be careful."

Haruhiko remarked, "I have a feeling something's not quite right."

"Ah."

Hoshino Rin responded and added, "If you encounter danger, leave immediately."

The two walked for about five minutes before reaching the end.

What comes into view is a complex network of pipes.

It also emitted a strong, foul odor.

"Tokyo's sewers."

Haruhiko frowned, looking at the walls around him that were of an unknown color, and said.

Hoshino Rin raised her hand, and spiritual energy roared out, forming a dazzling holy light in mid-air.

In an instant, the entire sewer was illuminated.

At the top, a humanoid mass of flesh, like a gecko, clings to the ceiling.

It is a demon.

Haruhiko didn't have time to think about why it was in the sewer.

Moreover, it was not discovered by the people of the Imperial Palace.

He threw out a talisman.

It is a fire talisman.

The flames used to forge magical artifacts must have been incredibly hot.

The talisman turned to ashes in the wind.

The psionic energy, along with the black ash, was scattered towards the alien demons.

Flames appeared out of nowhere, immediately illuminating the top.

Within a few breaths, the demon lost its life signs and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

"First-tier Otherworldly Demon".

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow and said.

Although the Bright Flame Talisman is special, its ability to kill in one strike indicates that the demon's rank is not high.

Just as Hoshino Rin was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed.

A distinct sound of footsteps could be heard.

At the pipe opening not far away, more than a dozen alien demons surged out at once.

"What exactly is the Imperial Palace doing?"

Hoshino Rin asked with a serious tone and a puzzled expression, "With so many otherworldly demons, how come you didn't notice?"

"Unless they are not otherworldly demons that have descended."

Haruhiko connected the dots and realized that the murderer was also here, and said thoughtfully.

"This is impossible!"

Rin Hoshino realized what was happening and said instinctively.

According to Haruhiko, someone is artificially creating otherworldly demons.

This is the greatest taboo for psionicists.

Once discovered, they will be hunted down by all psionicists.

However, the forbidden technique of corpse splicing is indeed possible.

Celestial Fox - Thunder Spell!

Haruhiko stopped chatting and began chanting a spell.

Four seconds was enough for the Otherworldly Demon to tear him to pieces.
