You say this is a love game?

Yiyun still feels interesting.

He is still in love and there is no first come first served. If he is thick-skinned, how can this sixteen-year-old boy resist the beauty trap?

How could a gifted exorcist who emerged from the common people ever see the real world of pleasure? Whether it was beauty, fame, power, or even more direct resources for cultivation, this aristocratic family could offer so much.

But Yajima Shion shook her head.

"I felt like he was a threat," she said.

"Being able to kill the Guhuo Bird... He does have a certain ability."

Yiyun pondered.

"I want Shadow Girl to kill him."

Yajima Shion's behavior at this moment was completely different from her politeness in front of Mizutani Makoto.

Calm, decisive, and ruthless.

"Are you so determined?"

Yiyun raised his glass and took a sip, but he didn't refuse.

"A new round of 'solar eclipse' is about to begin."

"We need to open up the rift, or at least get back in touch with Jin, so we can find out what happened inside the rift..."

"The Shadow Girl's ability is crucial to opening up the gap."

"If you want to mobilize Shadow Girl, then wait a moment, it will be soon."

……

……

"hiss……"

The information that Mizutani Makoto knew did not extend to the time when the Nue wreaked havoc on the private Hiiragigaoka Academy.

The perspective of the ashes was frozen on the scene of the Nue's shadow rising into the sky.

Finally, Nue swept away the last head of the family who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and the two souls came together and went to the private Hiiragiyama Academy together.

Maybe they are all destroyed.

The ashes he had found earlier were obtained after he killed Gu Chun. And these ashes of "Nue"... actually, the ashes of "A Nue" were definitely left behind by that little ghost.

Referring to the mechanism of one soul dying in each generation of the Hiiragihara family, Soichiro's soul is likely to have reached the end along with Nue.

“How cruel…”

"Now that we see it this way, the Yajima family is more than just suspicious. They are definitely the boss... That guy named Yajimazu, now known as 'Soichiro Hiiragihara'..."

Mizutani Makoto frowned hard.

How could this world be so fucked up?

"The darkness of the Yajima family, I'm afraid."

However, Mizutani Makoto thought of more.

He thought of what Aue had said, that Soichiro Hiiragihara's son would be beheaded and his daughter would be taken into the Yajima family.

He thought again of Yajima Mai's mission, the difficulty of Yajima Mai's mission, and the various speculations he had made before.

Finally, I thought of Mai Yajima’s mother who died of illness.

…She died young.

Yajima Mai's mother is definitely not the Hiiragihara Tsubasa from a hundred years ago, but considering that Hiiragihara Tsubasa was taken into the Yajima family and continued the Hiiragihara bloodline in the Yajima family, some things really make sense...

"However, the curse of the Hiiragihara family should have been completely broken in Soichiro's generation."

"It can't just continue like that, can it?"

"Or, even though the new round of sacrifices failed, it still brought disaster to the former Hiiragihara family?"

"Then why don't you harm the Yajima family..."

"Yashimazu is wearing Soichiro's body and blood..."

Some truths have come to light.

The rest is nothing more than some careful consideration of details.

Mizutani Makoto breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling worried.

It was also the first time that he felt such heavy pressure.

He is actually not afraid of anything.

What he fears is that he won't have time to develop.

With Tongzi and the soul-wandering attribute, he could theoretically become the Sword God of Shilipo, especially since there are two strong bosses in the private Hiiragiyama Academy. If he is given a year or two, he can directly level up to a strong upper level.

The Yajima family defected to the Hiiragihara family six hundred years ago, but its history of existence is probably more than six hundred years. Such a family of Onmyoji must have a lot of hidden heritage, which is why Mizutani Makoto did not rush in directly like he did in the past.

If he could win, he would definitely use his super powers.

But he couldn't win, and no matter how he shouted about super power, he felt very powerful. Now it was the turn of super intelligence, and his super intelligence told him that he had to do everything he could to develop.

"This gap must be the work of the Yajima family."

"But why didn't they react to my strategy for the crack?"

"Don't you know that I'm active in the cracks?"

"...We need to conquer this gap as soon as possible."

"Old Hei mentioned before that this rift is constantly eroding the present world. If its erosion rate increases again, will the Yajima family be able to interfere with the rift one day? There are still many mysteries in this rift. Maybe there are even more crucial props. If you don't collect them, you will be at a great loss..."

Mizutani Makoto understood.

He explained the situation to Chidori and planned to risk his life to find a way out.

Even though the rift had been blocked by the Slit Woman, he still wanted to try these exploration opportunities... He had a lot of equipment and props in his backpack, and he planned to try to find a solution.

Chidori stared at him straight, and after a while she turned her head away awkwardly.

What was he thinking about?

Do you think she's worried about him?

No!

At twelve o'clock midnight, while waiting for the number of explorations to be refreshed on Saturday, Mizutani Makoto entered the crevice again.

He still couldn't bear to give up his swimming pool electric fish.

One electric shock costs more than a thousand souls!

This is the best place for him to grow his soul and develop.

It was precisely because of his reluctance to leave the swimming pool that Mizutani Makoto came up with an idea - since he was born in the school building before, and he ran a marathon on the campus for several minutes while being chased by the Slit-mouthed Woman, the Slit-mouthed Woman is now at the easternmost side of the campus, and the swimming pool is on the west side. There is a time difference between the two places.

[You've been targeted——]

He got on his blue bicycle and started a race with the Slit-mouthed Woman. In the end, he filled Chidorimaru's thunder power at the cost of his spiritual power, and successfully electrocuted two waves of fish in the swimming pool before the Slit-mouthed Woman arrived.

With this one shot of electricity, he harvested nearly three thousand souls at once.

"this is a good news."

"The Slit-Mouthed Woman's pursuit doesn't kill you instantly. As long as you activate your super intelligence, you can continue to sneak around the campus and farm souls while being pursued by the Slit-Mouthed Woman."

When no one is around, just swipe it.

When there are people around, I brush with trepidation.

Makoto Mizutani was sure that this idea was feasible, so he started to use his imagination again and began to look for Miaomiao props in his backpack.

Clang!

"Sleeping Spine Ring."

Clang!

"Water Tiger Hidden Magatama."

These two pieces of equipment have played a role once and are now gathering dust in the backpack. They provide invisibility and reduce presence, and are classic old-style equipment.

But to be honest, the positioning of these two pieces of equipment is quite awkward.

In Souls-like games, stealth backstab or stealth travel are very efficient things, but Makoto Mizutani is not really playing games, and his performance is not as bad as in the game that he has to rely on stealth backstab to quickly deal with monsters. Now that he has reached a higher level, he is not afraid of a group beating by low-level JK ladies, so there is no room for "invisibility" to play a role.

But now, facing the slit-mouthed woman...

These two pieces of equipment combined together really have a miraculous effect.

When Mizutani Makoto used the Mizutani Magatama to become invisible and then used the Sleeping Spine Ring to reduce his presence, his spiritual power began to be slightly consumed, but when he stepped out of the school building, he no longer received any notification that the Slit-mouthed Woman was targeting him.

"..."

He approached the swimming pool stealthily, intending to take a look at the place where the Slit-Mouthed Woman had lingered last time.

But when he approached the gymnasium and was still a few hundred meters away from the swimming pool, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of him: "You have been targeted——".

If he gets within a certain range of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, he will be observed by her even if he is invisible.

And this observation is to lock it to death!

"...Fifth Personality?"

What game am I playing?

Mizutani Makoto felt like the soul game he was playing had suddenly changed. There was a supervisor wandering around the manor, and his task was to sneak into the village and quietly shoot...

"Ruined my gaming experience..."

A small notebook of blood feud and a private seat.

Due to the existence of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Mizutani Makoto's soul-farming efficiency has slowed down.

Even the Slit-Mouthed Woman does wander in the crevices. Mizutani Makoto spent his third life farming souls in the cafeteria. After farming the first and second floors of the cafeteria, he was just about to walk out of the cafeteria when he was discovered by the Slit-Mouthed Woman's detection radar... This directly said goodbye to his daily healthy gaming.

The next day.

That is Sunday.

It was rare for Mizutani Makoto to fall asleep before two in the morning. He slept for six hours and then got out of bed, intending to continue studying the fighting style of the Slit-mouthed Woman.

It seemed like he could find an opportunity to take some [Boiling Blood Secret Potion] and fight her to the death, to test her strength...

Even if he couldn't kill her, he could still use the battle to hone his swordsmanship...

"Just yesterday, our city's police destroyed a cult stronghold..."

There is no TV in Mizutani Makoto's small apartment. When he eats breakfast, he always checks the news push on his mobile phone.

It is now Sunday, and the demise of the Red Lotus Seed Society can be traced back to Wednesday, late at night four days ago.

But the police have only reported and dealt with the matter now.

According to the news, there were still some remnants who were not killed by him and Miyamizu Inaba... That's true. They wiped out the top leaders of the entire cult, but there must be many priests below. They did not participate in the high-level meeting in the sanatorium and escaped.

Now that he has been arrested, this kind of treatment is rare.

Generally speaking, no matter which country it is, when dealing with cults, the top leaders are basically dealt with. If the scope of the crackdown is expanded to middle-level or lower-level cadres, it will have a sense of "the law does not hold everyone responsible", so it will usually be ignored.

But in the news, these people who had escaped the net were arrested one by one.

[Haishui: Mr. Nishida said that if it's related to monsters, the meaning will be very different.]

[Hai Shui: These people will be sent to prison, which can be considered as a warning to others.]

It was Akiyuki Nishida who reported this matter to the authorities. The exorcism headquarters in Tokyo issued an order, and with the cooperation of the local Yajima family, the matter was pushed forward.

[Blue-haired water monster: Yajima family? ]

[Hai Shui: Well, according to Mr. Nishida, he is the manager of Night Light City.]

Mizutani Makoto hadn't expected to see the Yajima family here, but further questioning yielded no results. Even Nishida Akiyuki, who had come from Tokyo, had limited authority and status, and was not qualified to investigate the lords of Night Light City.

[Hai Shui: But, Mr. Nishida told me that this Night Light Market seemed strange... He said he couldn't find any folk exorcists. I told him about the recent murders in our city, and after that, Mr. Nishida didn't look too happy...]

Nishida Akiyuki, this exorcist's sense of smell... is very sharp.

Relying on the information obtained from the cracks, Mizutani Makoto can now conclude that the recent murder case in Yomi High School is most likely related to the Yajima family behind the scenes.
