[Tang Shizi's Spiritual Core Purification]

Description: A purified, powerful lower-level spirit core, sealed within is the pride of a lion. The majesty of the former beast king still surges forth, its blue fur awe-inspiring and heroic, all beasts bowing to it.

【Comment: I thought it was a speed bump! 】

[Special Note: Since this spirit core has been purified, its absorption efficiency will be much higher than that of ordinary spirit cores.]

It originated from Tang Shizi's spirit core, and the final shooting with a bow also brought about a "purification" effect, allowing this spirit core to achieve better absorption efficiency.

Holding it in the palm of your hand, a tiny electric current flows across the surface of this spirit core, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Mizutani Makoto didn't think about distributing it.

He stuffed the spirit core into his backpack, and there was another spirit core next to it.

Yoshiko Satori flew out early. This girl was even more anxious than Makoto Mizutani. She was as if she was afraid that the dropped items would disappear. She hurried over and picked up all of Makoto Mizutani's spoils.

"A strong mid-level spirit core."

“Exactly the same classification.”

The spirit cores of the monsters shot by Senko Guri will be in a "purified" state, which is equivalent to using 5000 souls to prepare a better ration for one's own Shikigami.

[Slit-mouthed Woman's Spiritual Core Purification]

Description: A purified, strong, mid-level soul core, curled within is a twisted, sorrowful soul. Holding scissors, she wanders the campus, hunting, and constantly repeating the things she fears and resists most as punishment for her betrayal.

【Comment: He said he loved my voice... Now all that's left is the smell of blood.】

[Special Note: Since this spirit core has been purified, its absorption efficiency will be much higher than that of ordinary spirit cores.]

Mizutani Makoto took a look and saw that it was an indigo crystal core, also a relic of Sato Ayako.

"The punishment for her betrayal..."

Sure enough, she was stuffed in here by Yajimazu.

Judging from the endings of the Hiiragihara family and Koizumi Hanako, Yashimazu does not seem to be a magnanimous person. On the contrary, he is a ruthless person who does things to the extreme. Since it is the punishment for a betrayer, it must be an ending that will never be reborn... Judging from the fact that Sato Ayako was forced to sleep, wake up, and hunt in the crevice, this is indeed a very cruel ending.

This concludes the summary of the Spirit Core.

Next, Mizutani Makoto rubbed his hands and continued to check for other dropped items.

The most important item dropped by Tang Shizi is the cluster of drifting thunder and fire.

Fire Thunder

Description: The eight-colored thunder wielded by Tang Shizi is the most violent of the eight. When thunder rages, it is always accompanied by blazing flames. The magnificent power of heaven transforms into a raging fire, known as "fire thunder."

【Evaluation: Tremble at my roar! 】

These thunders are actually of the nature of thunder.

Because of the previous case of Chidori, Mizutani Makoto saw it very clearly - this thing is a property, not a "divine position". It does not mean that if one obtains the eight-colored thunder, the holder will be one of the eight-colored thunder gods. Obtaining the eight-colored thunder only means that he has mastered the property of the thunder, and it has nothing to do with whether he is a god or not.

As a legendary sword, Chidori possesses the power of "demining", and as Tang Shizi is a sacred beast that controls thunder and lightning and is worshipped by the world, it is reasonable that he possesses the power of "fire thunder" that can suppress evil spirits.

"They are all ghosts and gods with high racial values ​​and advanced mechanisms."

Thinking of the battle scene just now, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but sigh.

Ghosts and gods with special mechanisms are the boss.

The blessing of this legend is so powerful that if ordinary monsters fight against this kind of legendary monsters at the same level, their heads will be twisted off.

The remaining materials are not as powerful as [Fire Thunder].

one.

【Lion's auspicious cloud tail】

[Description: The Tang Lion's auspicious cloud tail, each hair flowing like a cloud, exudes a faint sacred aura.]

【Evaluation: The lion wags its tail! 】

Second.

【Scissors of Hate and Sorrow】

Description: Broken scissors stained with deep sorrow, these blood-stained scissors were the weapon that cut out her vocal cords, and this was also her punishment.

【Evaluation: Smile, a silent smile...】

It looks like two sets of materials.

In addition, a copy of [Sato Ayako's Diary Part 3] was also dropped, which confirmed Sato Ayako's identity.

“There are quite a lot of drops…”

Makoto Mizutani opened the diary and began to look at the teacher's ending with mixed feelings.

[Sato Ayako's Diary Part 3]

[Description: Soichiro lied to me. Whether it was his promises about the future or his love for his students... he was a liar!]

He has changed, become very strange.

【But there's still time. I have to rescue the students.】

[They still have a future worth looking forward to, and they shouldn't die here.]

Judging from Sato Ayako's final obsession, she is indeed a character in the good camp.

"She was deceived from the beginning."

"She was Soichiro's second-generation lover. They were in love in college, but they broke up because their values ​​didn't match... Years later, she was invited to the private Hiiragigaoka Academy by Yashimazu, who had usurped Soichiro's position. Without knowing that Soichiro was dead, she became Yashimazu's secret lover."

"Why is this Yashimazu so mean?"

Mizutani Makoto rubbed his temples.

When he thought of how Yajimazu had used the body of an honest man, Soichiro Hiiragihara, and had impersonated Soichiro Hiiragihara for a full five years from the age of 25 to his death at the age of 30, taking away everything that Soichiro Hiiragihara cherished, he couldn't help but feel the murderous intent that was brewing.

Calm down. I'm probably no match for him right now.

Development, development...

"Sato Ayako didn't realize that Soichiro had been replaced until the very end."

Mizutani Makoto stuffed the diary into his backpack.

Now, the entire rift has been almost liberated by him.

There were only some final finishing touches left for him to handle.

Mizutani Makoto calmed himself down and rushed to the security room immediately.

The security room was the place he wanted to check out when he first explored the crevice, but at that time he had eaten the strawberry daifuku of the Little Fortune God, and he was reminded again and again not to go to the security room to die... Judging from this situation, if he intends to explore the security room, it is very likely that he will trigger Tang Shizi.

This is strange.

You know, Mizutani Makoto had tried it before by going to the stone statue of Tang Lion. Even if he walked very close, he would not trigger Tang Lion. He had to kill Ksitigarbha monk before the lion would crush him into Makoto in anger.

In the security room...

Mizutani Makoto pushed the door open and walked in.

The security room was very small. He shone a candlestick inside but found no footprints.

He initially thought this was Tang Shizi's small treasury, but he did not find any shining soul in it.

On second thought, Tang Shizi is not an evil spirit that harms people's lives. It has not sneaked into the human world to harm human lives, so naturally it does not have a small treasury full of souls.

This is the same as Sato Ayako.

The artificial lake where Sato Ayako was located had been explored by Mizutani Makoto in advance. There was only a diary left at the bottom of the lake, and no trace of the soul.

It seems that Sato Ayako is the hidden mechanism of the rift. She usually wreaks havoc in the rift and does not sneak into the world to reap souls.

As a result, the soul gains from these two powerful bosses are pitifully small.

He shot out 10000 souls in this wave, which was a huge loss.

"So what's here?"

Mizutani Makoto put away the candlestick.

Have to look for it.

Chidori's figure floated out from Chidori Maru. The girl with silver hair and purple eyes held her chin and proudly inspected the small security room.

Since he is so anxious, I might as well help him out!

At this time, Yoshiko Satori seemed to have discovered something.

The girl stood on tiptoe and suddenly lay on the ground. She pulled out a small cardboard box from under the rest bed in the security room. Inside was an antique...hoko bell?

"Big brother!"

The little god of fortune presented the hoko bell to Mizutani Makoto with joy, as if he were presenting a treasure.

【Kagura Hokorin】

Description: An elegant and mysterious hoko bell, cast entirely from bronze, engraved with ancient fox motifs. This hoko bell was held by the shrine maiden, Furuya Ruriko. Whenever she wields it, a clear, yet sacred, tone resonates. This sound imbued with purity and divine power, serving as a medium connecting humanity and the divine.

【Comment: Take my Luoyang shovel! 】

[Special Note: This equipment has been damaged. Before repair, its performance is only one-third of its original capacity.]

Hoko bell is one of the magical instruments of the shrine maiden.

The pointed part is the hoko, and the other end is the tsuba, which is the handle. There are 8 or 6 bells added to the tsuba. The composition of these three parts also embodies the meaning of the three sacred treasures of Japan.

Hoko is the sword of Ame-no-Murasakumo.

The tip is the Yata no Mirror.

The bell is the Yasakani no Magatama.

Hokobell is generally only used in more formal occasions, such as Kagura dance.

Mizutani Makoto held the hokorin in his hand. There was an obvious crack on the outside of the hokorin.

At this moment, he suddenly had a strong feeling - Furuya Ruriko, how come this shrine maiden was like the chosen one of God, with all kinds of divine artifacts stuffed all over her body?

So arrogant.

Makoto Mizutani even felt like he was a gravedigger, digging up the shrine maiden's legacy every day.

……no way.

Furuya Ruriko is a favored child from a famous family. Not only is she a jack of all trades, she also has a lot of magical tools and artifacts on her body, and she is also followed by the sacred beast Tang Shizi... Mizutani Makoto's current configuration is indeed incomparable to Furuya Ruriko.

Not to mention, Furuya Ruriko actually has more than just Tang Shikigami, and most of her Shikigami actually died in battle...

Shake his head.

Get rid of these slight envy in your mind.

I have Admiral Chidori!

Tang Shizi follows the sages with noble morals, and Yaodao Ji follows the heroes with lofty ambitions.

In terms of the configuration of "Sacred Beast Accompanying", he is almost the same as Furuya Ruriko.

Focusing on the equipment:

"What is this hokorin... used for?"

From the description alone, Mizutani Makoto couldn't figure out the purpose of Kagura Hokorin.

But this thing is Tang Shizi's last guarded thing after all. It must be very useful if it can be locked in the security room.

Mizutani Makoto didn't hesitate and headed straight towards the school building.

The four items, [Kangshishi's Spirit Core Purification], [Fire Thunder], [Lion's Auspicious Cloud Tail], and [Kagura Hokorin], were all handed over to Furuya Ruriko.

The first three items were Tang Shizi's relics. To Furuya Ruriko, Tang Shizi's former owner, they were like family members' ashes... Mizutani Makoto felt he had to leave them to Furuya Ruriko.

And the last [Kagura Hokorin] can be said to have returned to its original owner.

However, Furuya Ruriko no longer needs these.

Furuya Ruriko gently stroked the spirit core that was flowing with subtle lightning light, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She couldn't see what was in front of her.

But Mizutani Makoto felt that she seemed to see something through this spirit core.
