I Am a Heroic Spirit

"I knew it! Things are definitely not that simple. That man persisted for so many years without any harm, how could he just lose his life here? He must have been condoned by this so-called professor." Conan said excitedly. And that so-called professor is very likely related to Zhang Luo, otherwise Zhang Luo would not have been able to tell the way the man died so easily.

I have to say that although it was an earlier prejudice, Conan really guessed right this time. Zhang Luo had met this man who looked physically and mentally exhausted and like he had depression a day ago, and recognized his identity. Since he was going to die in the end anyway, he might as well give him a push. With this thought in mind, Zhang Luo transformed into a Servant and lured the man to his death.

It seems that this man was destined to die during this period of time. Although he did something evil that induced his death, the fifteen points of progress in his good deeds were not deducted.

"It seems that this case is not that simple. There is a guy called professor behind it." Inspector Megure said solemnly.

"This is easy. Just bring all the professors who were related to this man in the school and interrogate them." Kogoro Mouri also came to join in the fun.

"hehe."

Inspector Megure gave a forced laugh and said, "What a joke! Do you think that just because it says 'Professor' it means he is really a professor? How could the mastermind behind such an obvious case of induced murder reveal his true identity? Besides, there are no professors among high school teachers, unless they are hired from outside."

"Captain Megure, am I right? Isn't this a good idea?" Kogoro Mouri looked smug and laughed, thinking he had come up with a good idea.

Inspector Megure nodded helplessly, then ordered the police officer: "Go to Konan High School and bring the professor there as a key figure."

"Don't go," Okino Yoko advised. "Konan High School hasn't hired any professors, and Mingyi has never had any contact with any professors. We won't find any clues from this aspect."

"Is that so? This is really troublesome." Inspector Megure said in distress. Compared to a simple attempted suicide, this kind of induced crime incident is worse, more serious, and more difficult to handle. Especially from the professor's words, it can be seen that the mastermind behind the scenes is a highly intelligent criminal. Any criminal plan that an ordinary person can implement can stump the police. This is more difficult to deal with than an ordinary criminal gang.

The case ultimately remained unresolved. After all, aside from a professor's name, there were no other clues. The police also failed to identify any recent contact between the deceased and any strangers, leaving them with no clear suspects. Conan strongly suspected Zhang Luo was the mastermind, but without evidence, he couldn't say anything. He reluctantly returned to the Mouri Detective Agency with Ran and Kogoro.

Zhang Luo returned to the office, planning to do a ten-draw combo, and then head to Tokyo to officially let the Heroic Spirit appear on the stage of this world.

In the bedroom inside the office, Zhang Luo was lying on the bed, his consciousness having entered the system space.

[Host]: Zhang Luo

Bronze Cards: Ruler Sherlock Holmes, Lancer Diarmuid Odin

Silver Cards: Archer James Moriarty, Saber Miyamoto Musashi

Gold Card: Archer Young Gil

Colorful card: None

(Regarding the card levels, Ruler Sherlock Holmes and Lancer Diarmuid Odi may be considered a bit low. Let me explain: Diarmuid's level is down to Bronze, as he's prone to unexpected situations in battle, and his Noble Phantasm is an anti-personnel one. I also downgraded Sherlock to Bronze because he has no combat abilities and is purely supportive.)

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven Heroic Spirits in total. Another ten-draw streak should give me ten Heroic Spirits, allowing me to unlock other features."

Zhang Luo looked at the system panel in front of him, counted carefully, and then clicked on the ten-pull function.

Amidst the roaring lightning, one shining card after another appeared out of thin air.

Chapter 43 The Beauty Dragged into the Alley

(Looking at the comments today, everyone seems a little confused about my settings. Let me explain here: Gold cards need to have EX-level attributes or skills and Noble Phantasms, and they need to be Heroic Spirits with sufficient combat capabilities. So, people like An Ritian are not included. Although Kong Ming has an EX-level Chu Shi Biao, the details are unknown, and who knows what will be set up in the future, so it is not included. Similarly, the levels are set based on combat ability, skills, Noble Phantasms, attributes, and job types. If there is a significant flaw, it will be reduced by one level, such as Heel, Lucky E, and Suicide Bow.)

After leaving the nightclub, Zhang Luo walked around the street bored. After rejecting several prostitutes, he suddenly discovered that something special was happening.

On the other side of the street, in a sparsely populated place more than ten meters away, three or four strong men were pulling a young woman about twenty years old. The woman looked very beautiful, no less beautiful than Yoko Okino, but her face was red, and she seemed to be drunk. She was unable to resist the pull of the strong men next to her, and was staggered into the alley next to her.

Zhang Luo's expression suddenly became strange. He looked around and found that there were quite a few people watching this scene, but they all looked as if they were used to it. There were also a few people who followed him into the alley, and it seemed that they wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Zhang Luo lowered his head, nodded his lips, and thought to himself: With my current attire and magic power, there should be no need to call Jack back.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Luo strode towards the alley where those people had just entered.

The scene deep in the alley was exactly as Zhang Luo had imagined. The men were all dead, and some of their bodies had even been eaten. The woman was lying on a relatively complete body, gnawing on it.

What a bunch of unlucky guys, why did they have to go after Kamishiro Rize when there are other women out there? Isn't this just courting death?

Zhang Luo slandered inwardly.

Kamishiro Rize, who was eating, suddenly stopped moving, as if she felt someone coming in. She raised her head and turned around. In the darkness, a pair of strange blood-red eyes met Zhang Luo's gaze.

The face that had been excited about eating suddenly sank, as if she was unhappy about being interrupted. However, soon, as if she had smelled something, the corner of her blood-stained mouth raised an exaggerated arc, appearing particularly hideous and terrifying in the dim light.

"Little guy, you seem to smell really good."

Zhang Luo responded calmly, "Really? Do you ghouls also like pure virgins like vampires? But I lost my virginity a week ago."

"Exorcist? Onmyoji? Psychic? Or exorcist?"

Seeing Zhang Luo like this, Kamishiro Rize's expression became a little serious. This guy didn't look like a madman at all. He dared to face her with such an attitude, so he must have his own support.

"I'm just a magician." Zhang Luo shrugged and said calmly, "CCG cleaned you out a while ago, and now you dare to come out to hunt? It seems you are prepared to be killed by me."

"Humph! It's just a piece of food, and you dare to speak such big words in front of me!"

Kamishiro Rize's expression darkened. With a slight crack, her brand-new clothing ripped apart. A dark red object suddenly burst from near her kidneys, emitting a strange, trembling sound. Then, it suddenly expanded three or four meters and, with a thin, whistling sound, slashed towards Zhang Luo's head.

"projection."

Zhang Luo had a determined expression. He stretched out his hands, and a blue magic circle appeared in his clenched hands.

"Finish."

The two-colored magic spears, one long and one short, turned into entities in his hands. Without time to think about other things, facing the explosive Lin He, Zhang Luo reflexively took a defensive posture.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound was rang out, and Zhang Luo felt a powerful impact force transmitted from the gun bodies of the two guns to his hands. While his hands were numb, the powerful force pushed Zhang Luo back several steps along the ground, and then hit the wall.

Kamishiro Rize was stunned at first when she saw Zhang Luo being knocked back by one blow. She seemed to have not expected that Zhang Luo, who seemed to be a psychic who was good at magic, would compete with her in close combat, and be knocked back so easily.

"Is that all you have? Food."

Kamishiro Rize showed a cruel smile, and when she remembered the taste of the Exorcist she had eaten once before, her appetite became even stronger.

After stabilizing himself by holding onto the wall, Zhang Luo looked down and saw that the two projected brushes had several deep cracks in the middle. If they were hit a few more times, they would probably break. Although they were only less than one-tenth the size of the original, they were still comparable to E-rank Noble Phantasms. He had never expected them to be shattered by a single blow.

His palms were also numb from the strong vibrations. If it weren't for the steel training and tenacious abilities he had just received yesterday, his arms would have been broken.

"It seems that I underestimated you. Now I will get serious."

Zhang Luo immediately released the double guns in his hands, and a three-star physical gift card and a magic book that can be used to amplify magic power and magic effects appeared in his hands.

To deal with ordinary ghouls, the black keys are enough, but to deal with this kind of S-level ghoul, there is no weapon that can restrain it, unless there is a Noble Phantasm of E-level or above to be effective. Zhang Luo, who has neither a Noble Phantasm of E-level or above nor a restraining weapon like Quinque, can only use magic to fight if he wants to exercise his abilities after defeating Kamishiro Rize.

"Stop talking big. Food should look like food. Just let me eat it."

Kamishiro Rize let out a sinister laugh, and four sharp, tail-like horns pierced the air and lashed out heavily at Zhang Luo.

"shield!"

Zhang Luo shouted loudly, and an invisible shield appeared in front of him. An explosion sounded, and the invisible shield turned into scattered light spots under Kamishiro Rize's kagune.

Although it was broken with just one strike, the invisible shield also delayed Zhang Luo for a few seconds. Zhang Luo had already prepared a Nordic rune magic called Yin Qi Bomb.

Before Kamishiro Rize's kagune stabbed again, Zhang Luo waved his hand and shot out the Yin Qi, accurately hitting Kamishiro Rize who didn't even bother to dodge.

Chapter 44 Underworld

(Everyone says I update too slowly, but I think my update speed is pretty good, compared to those who update once a day, once every two or three days. Also, I’m the author of League of Legends on Qidian, and I only update once every ten or even dozens of days.)

"what?"

The moment the blood-red magic bullet penetrated Kamishiro Rize's body, Kamishiro Rize's face, which had been dismissive, immediately turned ugly. She could feel a special force raging in her body, destroying her body functions. Although it did not cause any serious injuries to her, it greatly weakened her physical performance.

"Flames."

As Zhang Luo whispered, a large ball of flame emitting extremely high temperature appeared above the magic book held by Zhang Luo, and then shot towards Kamishiro Rize.

Knowing how powerful he was, Kamishiro Rize wanted to dodge, but the direction of the flames changed according to Zhang Luo's thoughts. Kamishiro Rize could not avoid it no matter where she hid, so she could only swing the Scaled Blade and smash it at the flames that were chasing her.

Although the four Scaled Horus extinguished the flames, the fire magic with the bonus of the ceremonial equipment also caused Kamishiro Rize's Scaled Horus, which was weakened by the power of the Yinqi Bullet curse, to become charred.

"Damn bastard."

Kamishiro Rize screamed in pain, and the four scales behind her danced madly and attacked Zhang Luo. Because of the stimulation of pain, the momentum of the attack was comparable to before it was weakened, and the power of the attack was also increased a lot, but it was still much weaker than before.

"O flame, grant my enemies the gift of pain!"

Zhang Luo recited the spell again without hesitation, and flames hotter than before rose from the magic book in his hand. As Zhang Luo swung the spell, it turned into a huge pillar of fire in the alley, spinning towards Kamishiro Rize. The pillar of fire was so big that it completely filled the width of the alley, leaving Kamishiro Rize no room to dodge.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Rize's face changed drastically. She forcibly retracted the shot-out Rinhe, but the front end of Rinhe was still completely burned. Enduring the pain of being burned by the flames, Kamishiro Rize did something that Zhang Luo did not expect. She slammed into the wall of the alley. The wall was directly knocked into a hole by Kamishiro Rize's powerful force. Then Kamishiro Rize immediately drilled into the hole and escaped. The rotating and forward-moving column of fire passed by Kamishiro Rize.

"..."

Zhang Luo stood there in a daze, his lips twitching. His habitual thinking prevented him from thinking that the walls on both sides could be broken through. With Kamishiro Rize's ability, it was more than enough for him to break through the walls and escape.

Rubbing his head, Zhang Luo did not go after the attacker, but stayed where he was to control the fire. After spending a few minutes to put out the flames, Zhang Luo immediately walked out.

By this time, many people had gathered outside the dim alley, including a number of police officers. After all, the fight between Zhang Luo and Kamishiro Rize had caused quite a bit of noise, and the towering pillar of fire was terrifying. As a result, the police officers who had been summoned didn't dare to go in. Instead, they called the Paranormal Disaster Response Office, which handled related matters, and stayed outside to observe the situation and evacuate the crowd. As Zhang Luo emerged, he happened to run into Isayama Yomi, a member of the Paranormal Disaster Response Office who had come to investigate.

Jianshan Huangquan looked at Zhang Luo with some confusion, feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, he didn't think much of it, thinking that he might just be an ordinary-looking guy, so he asked directly, "Hello, are you the one who fought here before?"

Jianshan Huangquan, who looks about the same age as Zhang Luo, only about 16 years old at most, has just joined the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office not long ago. This is his first time to deal with a related incident alone, so he looks a little restrained in front of Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo didn't say anything, but just kept looking at Jianshan Huangquan. His undisguised gaze made Jianshan Huangquan more and more nervous.

"Don't be so nervous, Xiao Huangquan," Zhang Luo chuckled. "If anyone is going to be nervous, I should be the one who's nervous, not you as a member of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office."

"Stop, stop talking nonsense," Jianshan Huangquan's face suddenly turned red, and he asked in a pretentious manner, "Tell me quickly, who are you? Who were you fighting with here just now? And why were you fighting here?"

"Also, how do you know my name? Also, don't call me Xiao Huangquan!" Jianshan Huangquan suddenly remembered what Zhang Luo called him before, and then questioned. Even the sword Lion King at his waist was pulled out a little by the nervous Jianshan Huangquan.

"I've heard of the Jianshan family's sword prodigy and magical genius Jianshan Huangquan for a long time." Zhang Luo said slowly.

Listening to Zhang Luo's boasting, Jianshan Huangquan, who had just debuted as an exorcist, showed a look of pride on his face that he tried hard to hide.

Looking at Isayama Yomi, who looked incredibly immature compared to how the story began, Zhang Luo chuckled inwardly, then changed the subject: "She's also the adopted daughter of Isayama Naraku, the head of the Isayama family, and the designated next head of the family. With someone like you, how could I not get to know you better?"

Just as Zhang Luo thought, Jianshan Huangquan, who understood the meaning of Zhang Luo's words, showed extreme dissatisfaction.

Jianshan Huangquan no longer wanted to pay attention to Zhang Luo. He took out a notebook and said coldly, "Please stop talking nonsense and answer me quickly. Your name, identity, the reason for appearing here, the name and identity of the person you fought with, the cause, process and result of the fight. If you don't want to be arrested."

"My name is Zhang Luo, and I'm a dark magician. The reasons for my appearance are, one, to see the legendary Kabukicho, and two, because the existence I'm researching will appear in this city. The one I fought with was an S-rank ghoul named Kamishiro Rize. I discovered him eating a person just now, and he has escaped now. By the way, the corpse inside has been burned to ashes by the flames I used when fighting." Zhang Luo said lightly.

Jianshan Huangquan, who was about to write something down in his notes, was stunned when Zhang Luo said the first sentence. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Luo with fear in his eyes.

"You are the top of the dark side!"

Before joining the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Room, Jianshan Huangquan had heard of the existence of darkness. After joining the countermeasures room, in order to avoid conflicts and being killed by the masters of darkness in a short time, the top leaders of the countermeasures room specially found the government's backup of the identity information of the top leaders of darkness and warned all members. The information of Zhang Luo, the latest to join darkness, was also in it. Jianshan Huangquan originally just thought Zhang Luo looked familiar, but now that Zhang Luo introduced himself, he immediately reacted.

Chapter 45 Type A

"Why this reaction, am I terrible?"

Seeing Jianshan Huangquan's look, Zhang Luo immediately understood what was going on. He took a step forward with a malicious look, and Jianshan Huangquan hurriedly took three steps back.

Seeing Isayama Yomi, who would become a cool and beautiful woman with long black straight hair in a few years, looking like this in front of him, Zhang Luo couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Zhang Luo shrugged and said helplessly, "No matter what, although we are a bit radical, we are also a formal martial arts organization recognized by all countries. In a sense, we are still colleagues. It's just that our work is not convenient for other countries to do. There is no need to be so scared, right?"

"Who's afraid? I'm just a little surprised. I was surprised that the high-ranking dark leader was just a minor and not even a martial artist." Seeing that Zhang Luo had a gentle attitude and did not look like the legendary dark martial artist who killed people without blinking, Jianshan Huangquan's fear slowly subsided and he retorted unhappily.

"What's wrong with being underage? The reincarnated Asakura Ye Wang of the Asakura family is only a minor now, but his sorcery power is already enough to crush all the esper users in Japan. Once his sorcery power is restored to its full state, combined with his super divination, five elements technique, and spirit possession, there will be no more than three people in Japan who can defeat him." Zhang Luo said. If he successfully became the Shaman King, he would probably be able to go head-to-head with the Spirit King or Orochi. If they really faced each other, the Spirit King, as a spirit, would probably be defeated. "As for martial arts, although I'm not a master, I also have martial arts attainments at the level of a master."

"Tsk, you really think you can compare to that great Onmyoji? You let a mere S-rank ghoul escape that I could even fight to a draw. It seems you're not much better than me, and now you're comparing yourself to that great Onmyoji." Isayama Yomi held the Lion King in front of him with a look of disdain. "I guess you didn't become a high-ranking Dark Master through your own strength. After all, your magic and martial arts skills alone are far from a master."

"Indeed, but that doesn't matter. Since I've become a high-ranking Dark Lord, it means I have the skills to rival those of the masters. As for Kamishiro Rize, I only let her escape because I didn't use my full strength."

Zhang Luo stretched out three fingers, shook them, and said, "Three days, just three days and I'll let you see Kamishiro Rize's body."

"Whatever you say is what it is." Isayama Yomi closed the notebook, put it in his pocket, and said, "This incident ends here. You can leave now."

"Well, goodbye, beautiful Miss Huang Quan. This is my business card. Please accept it. Maybe you will need me in the future." Zhang Luo took out a business card from his pocket with his two fingers and placed it directly on the cloth bag containing the Lion King of Jianshan Huang Quan. Then, without even looking at Huang Quan's reaction, he turned and left.

Jianshan Huangquan looked at Zhang Luo's back as he left, then picked up the business card on the cloth bag.

"Qin's Exorcism Agency? You are a member of a martial arts organization, but you opened an exorcism agency." Huang Quan curled his lips and was about to throw the business card away, but hesitated for a moment. He felt it would be better to keep it, so he put the business card in his pocket and turned around to go back.

"Didi-di-di-di-di..."

A "beep beep" sound came from Isayama Yomi.

"Hmm? Is there something else going on?"

Isayama Yomi took out a device that looked like a pager from his pocket and answered the call.

"Huang Quan, are you still in Kabukicho?" A mature woman's voice came from the pager.

Isayama Yomi responded, "Head of Department? Yes, I'm still here, but the matter is over, and I'm going back now."
