The Buddha's light brought a cool feeling, which made her chaotic consciousness a little clearer, at least she could understand the instructions.
Mizuki Shiranui blinked in confusion, and her vision gradually focused. Seeing Xiuyuan standing by the table, her cheeks turned red instantly. She subconsciously wanted to sit up, but found that her whole body was sore and weak that it was difficult for her to even move a finger.
"Clean this place up."
Xiu Yuan gave the order in a calm tone, without any extra emotion, as if he was just asking her to wipe the water stains off the table.
Mizuki Shiranui nodded shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's:
"Ming...21 understands..."
Xiu Yuan no longer looked at her. He raised his hand and casually drew a few strokes in the air. A golden rune that was difficult to see with the naked eye quietly merged into the doors and windows of the office.
A simple Buddhist barrier was instantly set up, blocking out prying eyes from both inside and outside, and also preventing any unwary intruders from seeing Shiranui in this state.
After doing all this, he turned around and left, his steps calm and without hesitation.
Mizuki Shiranui looked at his departing back, feeling shy and embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction and lingering emptiness in her heart.
She struggled and finally climbed down from the table. Looking at the messy desk and the suspicious marks on the ground, she resigned herself to cleaning up the mess. The scent that made her legs weak and her heart tremble was still lingering on her nose.
Leaving the temporary office, the afternoon sun streamed through the window, illuminating the tiny particles dancing in the air.
Xiuyuan raised his palm, and a gentle and pure golden Buddha light appeared in his palm.
The Buddha's light flows silently over you like the clearest stream.
Wherever it goes, the previous odor, even the slightest smell of sweat, is thoroughly purified and washed away, leaving no trace.
In a flash, he regained his spotless and dignified appearance, his moon-white monk robe glowing softly in the sunlight, as if he had just gone to the Zen room for a quiet meditation.
A moment later, he arrived at the door of the principal's office on the top floor of the administrative building and gently knocked on the heavy wooden door.
"Please come in." Ashaji's calm voice came from inside.
Xiuyuan pushed the door open and walked in.
Ashaji's office is spacious and bright. Unlike the traditional style of other parts of the college, it is decorated simply and efficiently with a modern feel.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the school's playground. On one wall hang several pieces of calligraphy in a sharp style, and on the other side stands an exquisite knife rack, on which is enshrined a long sword with a cold glow and a simple shape, exuding the owner's aura of decisiveness and profound strength.
Ashaji was sitting behind a large desk, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was dealing with some difficult documents.
When she saw Xiuyuan coming in, the serious expression on her face eased slightly and she stood up.
"Master Xiuyuan, please take a seat." She gestured to the guest sofa in front of the desk.
Xiuyuan sat down on the sofa opposite her, his posture calm, his eyes looking at her calmly:
"I wonder why Principal Ashaji is so eager to ask me to come here?"
His tone was calm and his eyes were clear, as if he had just come directly from a meditation class without any incident in between that could disturb his mood.
Ashaji's expression was quite serious. She didn't exchange any extra pleasantries and went straight to the point:
"Master Xiuyuan, I asked you to come here this time because of a very urgent and difficult matter."
She picked up a document marked "Top Secret" from the table and pushed it in front of Xiu Yuan:
"We just received intelligence, and preliminary analysis points to a private high school in the suburbs of Tokyo."
high school?
Xiuyuan paused for a moment as he picked up the document. What kind of anime plot had intruded into this?
He calmly flipped through the files, which contained some blurry photos and scattered reports, mentioning strange rumors among students, unexplained disappearances, and some signs of suspected secret gatherings.
"According to intelligence, there may be a secret group on campus that is performing some dangerous rituals that are suspected to be related to devil worship."
Asha ji lowered her voice.
"We are concerned that this may not just be a student prank, but a real demonic pact or summoning."
Xiuyuan's fingertips gently slid over the words "Devil Summoning".
As a time traveler, he was 80% sure that it was the plot of the Dark Bible.
Xiuyuan thought of Saeki Kaori, who was imprisoned by him and purified day and night with Buddhist teachings.
Counting the days, it has indeed been two days since I last visited her.
"How serious is the situation?"
Xiuyuan put down the documents and looked at Ashaji calmly.
"It's still unclear what happened, but two students have been missing for over 48 hours, and both the school and parents are trying to suppress the news."
Ashaji rubbed her brows, revealing a trace of fatigue.
"As you know, our main force of the Anti-Magic Ninja is currently focused on dealing with the threat posed by the terrorist organization 'Nomad'. We simply cannot spare enough personnel to conduct an in-depth investigation. Moreover, if demons are truly involved, the intervention of ordinary ninjas will be of limited effectiveness and may even result in unnecessary casualties."
She looked at Xiuyuan with earnest eyes:
"Therefore, I would like to ask Master Xiuyuan for help. With your Buddhist cultivation, you are the most reliable person to handle such incidents."
This is true. Buddhism is indeed a professional choice for dealing with monsters.
Moreover, there is no reason to refuse the merit that comes to your door.
"The poor monk knows."
Xiuyuan nodded in agreement.
"Subduing demons and monsters is our duty."
Ashaji was obviously relieved, and the tense lines on her face softened a little:
"Thank you so much! I feel much more at ease with you here, Master." She paused and added:
"Regarding demons, we have some records in the database of Manin. Most of them come from a different dimension called the 'Demon Realm' and come into the world through certain 'gates' or rituals. Their power system is different from that of humans and monsters, and is more chaotic and polluting."
She seemed to remember something, and her expression became serious again:
"In addition to the Demon Realm, there is another place that requires special attention, called Yomihira."
Xiuyuan understood in his heart that Yomihirasaka was a key location, where the most female Taima ninjas were fallen.
But he still maintained a perfectly balanced look of confusion, as if he was hearing the name for the first time:
"Yozen Hirasaka? Sounds a bit similar to the hell in Buddhist scriptures?"
“The nature is quite different.”
Asha ji explained in detail.
"Thank you for letting me know, Principal. I will pay more attention to it."
"Master, I'll leave everything to you." Ashaji also stood up and bowed solemnly.
Afterwards, Ashaji handed Xiuyuan a brand new certificate and related documents.
"This is your identification card, temporary Buddhist teacher."
She looked at Xiu Yuan and spoke in a serious tone.
"The situation is unclear. To avoid alerting the enemy, please investigate secretly as a teacher and try not to cause panic among the ordinary students."
Xiuyuan took the certificate. The cover was printed with the gold-plated words "Buddhist Teacher". The inside pages had all the information. The photo was of him, but his eyes seemed more compassionate and full of Buddhist nature.
"I understand." He put the document away without saying anything more.
Ashaji looked at his calm demeanor, as if he had just accepted an ordinary commission. She felt relieved, but couldn't help but remind him:
"Demons are different from ordinary monsters and are extremely polluting. Master, please be careful."
"Don't worry, Principal."
Xiuyuan nodded slightly, turned around and walked out.
Rinko Akiyama followed him silently, and the two left Goche Academy one after the other.
Inside the car, Rinko drove quietly, while Xiuyuan closed his eyes and rested, his mind already starting to calculate the possible merits and benefits of this mission.
As for the little incident that just happened in the office, he had already forgotten it like dust.
The vehicle drove smoothly back to the villa area.
From a distance, Xiuyuan saw two figures standing at the door of his villa. They were Misako Amemiya and her sister Etsukiko.
As soon as the car stopped, without waiting for Xiuyuan to get out, Yuemiko ran over, her face full of undisguised curiosity and enthusiasm, and her eyes looked back and forth between Xiuyuan and Rinko next to him.
"You are Master Xiuyuan, right? Thank you so much! If it weren't for you yesterday, my sister..."
When Yumiko said this, she lowered her voice slightly, leaned closer, and her eyes sparkled.
"I heard from my sister that you are amazing! You defeated that monster in one go..."
Before she could finish her words, Misako, who had followed her, gently pulled her.
Misako changed into a plain dress, her face still a little pale. When she saw Xiuyuan, her eyes subconsciously dodged, and her cheeks flushed unnaturally. The memories of last night, a mixture of fear, shame and a strange warmth, emerged uncontrollably.
She lowered her head and said in a soft voice:
"Master Xiuyuan, Miss Rinko... Thank you for your help yesterday."
"Easy to do."
Xiuyuan got out of the car, his eyes lingered on Misako for a moment, then turned to Yumiko who was chattering beside him, his tone calm.
However, Yumiko didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she became more excited. She walked around to the other side of Xiuyuan and asked with her face raised:
"Master, that...purification thing you use, isn't it amazing? My sister said she feels so much more relaxed!"
Misako's face turned red instantly. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She pinched her sister's arm hard.
"Etsumiko! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Oh, I'm not talking nonsense!" Yumiko rubbed her arm and muttered softly, but looking at Xiuyuan's calm and handsome face, she didn't dare to ask for details after all, but her attitude became more respectful and enthusiastic.
"In short, Master, you saved my sister, and you are our family's great benefactor! We came here specially to express our gratitude!"
Rinko Akiyama stood behind Xiuyuan, looking at the sisters quietly with calm eyes. Only when Yumiko got too close to Xiuyuan, she moved forward half an inch imperceptibly.
Xiu Yuan looked at the two sisters in front of him, one shy and charming, the other lively and bold. A thought flashed through his mind, but his face still wore that standard expression of compassion for all living beings:
"No need to be so polite, benefactors. Since you are here, please come in and have a cup of tea."
He stepped aside to make way and gestured for permission.
Chapter 88: Yumiko takes the initiative to attack at night!
Yumiko held her sister Misako's arm and followed Xiuyuan closely.
She openly looked at Xiuyuan's tall back, the luxurious decoration of the villa, and the cold and elegant Akiyama Rinko next to him.
Her sister's description last night tickled her heart, especially the miraculous experience of the young monk "purifying" the evil spirit. In addition, when she saw with her own eyes that Xiuyuan himself was indeed handsome, her little thought of "I want what my sister has" began to stir.
Compared to her younger sister's boldness and straightforwardness, Misako seemed uneasy, with her head lowered and her steps hesitant.
Everything that happened last night, especially her crying while hugging Xiuyuan's thighs, and the unspeakable detoxification process, made her cheeks hot whenever she saw Xiuyuan. She even felt a little ashamed when she saw Rinko Akiyama next to her, who was as natural as the hostess.
Entering the living room, Rinko Akiyama skillfully prepared tea.
Xiuyuan sat down on the main sofa and motioned the two sisters to sit opposite him.
Yumiko almost rushed to sit down, her eyes still glued to Xiuyuan, with undisguised assessment and curiosity.
She said sincerely:
"Master Xiuyuan, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't intervened in time, my sister..."
Misako coughed lightly beside her, signaling her sister to stop.
Yumiko immediately understood and changed the subject, a look of just the right amount of worry on her face:
"My sister was so frightened yesterday that she can't stay at home alone.
That house... well, it's full of terrible memories."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Xiuyuan's reaction. Seeing that he looked calm, but just picked up the teacup that Rinzi had just offered him, she became a little bolder.
"So, I was wondering if... could I let my sister stay at your place tonight? With a master like you around, she'd feel more at ease. Of course, I'm worried about her being alone, so... I'd also like to stay with her."
This was a reasonable statement, expressing concern for his sister, praising Xiu Yuan, and also including his request to stay overnight.
Misako's face turned red again after hearing this. She knew her sister's little thoughts, but she couldn't refute her. After all, she was really afraid of returning to the empty home full of bloody memories alone.
