I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

Daigo Takahashi represents Japan's "public authority," and naturally, he enjoys considerable prestige among the villagers.

The plan is to go to the back mountain, find a monk practicing asceticism, and then kill him.

It will also require Daigo Takahashi to make the decision.

In a sense, he represents "the force that originally protected the village's peace and eliminated threats and troubles," and is a "key node" representing the villagers' faith.

When he decided to go and actually killed the monk with his own hands, it naturally meant that the village's "faith" had completely changed.

"Let's go."

Daigo Takahashi gripped his pistol tightly as he spoke.

He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. Not only the villagers, but even his own daughter, Meiyue, was affected...

Since that night.

My daughter was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night, crying and shouting that someone was banging on the door and trying to come in.

And just as the wife was comforting her daughter who was crying incessantly.

Daigo Takahashi saw that the front door of the house was wide open, and the gate to the courtyard outside had also been opened at some point.

In that moment.

Daigo Takahashi's heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy abyss, chilled to the extreme.

Sure enough, her daughter Meiyue was cursed. She became like a wild beast, eating only raw meat and wolfing down her food every day.

They eat birds, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and even rats that they catch from who-knows-where...

Just like all the villagers who were possessed before, if this continues, one day he will kill all his relatives and then commit suicide.

There were also several masters who came to help with the rituals.

Without exception, they all died tragically on the spot during the exorcism, which further deepened the villagers' fear.

Now, in any case.

We must kill that monk hiding in the back mountain!

Daigo Takahashi still didn't know whether to believe the androgynous person on the phone or not, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't know what else he could do to restore his daughter to normal.

Moreover, the villagers also believed this.

We should at least give it a try, right?

At this moment, everyone's nerves were on edge, but just as the group of small trucks and tricycles were about to set off...

On the way.

In the pitch-black night rain, the black sedan drove out of the mountains and quickly stopped in front of everyone.

"?"

It's that boy from the daytime... who calls himself "the Public Security Anti-Demon Special Department," and what's more, he brought a girl with him.

Daigo Takahashi actually had some doubts about the boy's identity.

But because such a strange thing happened in his own home, he believed that Japan should indeed have the "ability to handle" such crises.

But several mages had died tragically before.

This put him in a dilemma: should he tell the boy about his family situation? What if he also had to perform a ritual for his daughter?

"I've figured things out."

I spotted Daigo Takahashi at a glance.

Gao Chuanlong greeted the other party and already knew about his family situation—he didn't need to tell him; the guy had a rather pungent "evil aura" lingering on him.

"Just have my colleague give your daughter the medicine."

"Give him the medicine?"

Takahashi Daigo looked on in bewilderment, wondering, "Weren't we supposed to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits?!"

"Ah, as a resident police officer, you have to believe in science. The incidents that happened before were all because those people ate a kind of poisonous mushroom from the mountains, which caused them to hallucinate and that's why those things happened."

"The same applies to your family members, and similar things have happened in other regions, so a cure has already been developed."

With that, Takagawa Takayuki gestured for Moroha to come over.

Then...

……

Suddenly!

A long darkness enveloped him—no, he found himself in a dark space.

Behind and in front of him, there were only two mirrors standing tall.

A mirror is the gateway between the mundane world and the present world.

A short-haired young man dressed in a pure white traditional hunting robe stood beside a mirror, smiling calmly as he looked at himself.

"You can't just suddenly come and cause trouble."

That's what the other person said.

Clearly, this is his "world," a small space separated from the ordinary world, where people from the real world can be drawn in through mirrors.

It's probably something like a domain, but I don't know what special effects it has.

Now Gao Chuanlong understood.

Why did some of our colleagues suddenly die during rituals? It must be because they were dragged into this mess... and...

Is time different here than it is outside?

"Hmm, staying here for an hour is equivalent to only one second passing outside."

"So how long can it last at most?"

"About half an hour."

It's only been such a short time. I thought it was some kind of time machine.

"You seem to be having a very relaxed time..."

The young head of the Abe family, Mikadoin... no, the one in white, who hadn't changed his surname yet and still belonged to the Abe family, looked somewhat troubled.

"As expected, people easily look down on me. A guy who's too young isn't suitable to be the head of the family, is he?"

"No no no."

The younger the head of the family, the more it demonstrates that he is a highly talented and outstanding individual within the family.

"Why waste so much time talking? Let's take this guy down first."

Numerous auras appeared around us.

As Sōjōbō said, besides the guy who argued over the way, there are at least a dozen other descendants of Abe no Seimei here.

It seems they didn't take Moroha seriously, thinking the dog demon girl was too weak, so they ignored her and planned to deal with them first.

Yeah.

No, this could even be considered the best-case scenario, right? I could take care of all of these guys in one go!

"Kid, you can still laugh when you're surrounded?"

who said it.

"You are the ones who are surrounded."

As Takagawa Ryu looked at the successive heads of the Mikadoin family, dressed in white or black, he took out the demon sword [Kukumo] from the guitar case behind him.

Said softly.

"After Abe no Seimei died, you descendants have become quite unknown. Apart from performing rituals and funerals for the imperial family and the nobility, what significant things have you done?"

"Is it a deliberate attempt to keep a low profile, or is it simply a lack of skill?"

I'll do it myself.

Let's put the descendants of Japan's strongest Onmyoji to the test.

Chapter 115 Our Abe family's elite team is invincible!

"Director Mikado, the eleventh head of the family, has a physical defect. His eyes can only perceive faint light, within a range of about 2.5 meters around him. Therefore, he can use the sword 'Fojira' to create a so-called 'barrier eye' that can perceive all objects that approach him."

That's what they say, but it's only at the "S" level, roughly equivalent to a samurai with "mind's eye."

so weak.

"Mikadoin Yuhiro, the tenth head of the family, can summon thousands of falcon shikigami to carry him in flight and to attack and defend. He is also an S-rank... Ah, what use is a large number of such ordinary shikigami?"

Still so weak.

"Mikadoin Yasutada, the eighth head of the family, can create a special barrier. Within the barrier, he can use arrows to disrupt the enemy's perception and use them to attack. He can also make his own body grow to a gigantic size, which is barely enough to reach the level of [S~], but it's just barely."

If you can't break through the opponent's barrier, it's quite troublesome. But if you can break through it, all that's left is its large size, which is only good for bullying smaller monsters.

Still very weak...

……

The demonic sword [Kukuun] emitted jet-black lightning, which coiled around Takagawa Ryu. At the same time, the heads of the Mikadoin family in front of the boy turned into rotting grass and mud after they died.

That's not what a normal human corpse should look like.

It is clear.

The "resurrection technique" that supports it is not true immortality, but rather the creation of a new body that can carry one's own soul and will not decay over time.

"Can you still be called human beings like this?"

"But then again, it makes sense. No normal person would protect their ancestor for a thousand years just to wait for his triumphant return and regain control of the world. That would be too childish."

In the dark space.

It suddenly became very quiet, until the raging young man with dreadlocks had his strong arms transformed into crimson flames and azure water.

"Kid, don't get too cocky! Nagachika, Hiro and Yasutada are just heads of the Mikadoin family during peacetime, so they haven't had the opportunity to hone their skills..."

"Ah, that's true. The more chaotic the era, the more powerful beings will emerge. But this mainly refers to non-human beings like monsters and spirits."

"?"

"On the contrary, spiritual mediums like us should be even stronger in times of peace."

because.

Without strength, how can we suppress all kinds of demons and monsters and bring peace and order to this world?

"But that's true. You guys who hide in the core of national power are indeed different from us who fight on the front lines."

There really were only chaotic times.

That's why even the "go-ke" Onmyoji, who are hiding deep within this country, cannot escape disaster and have to step forward to solve problems and troubles.

"Tch, brat, you're way too arrogant!"

The angry young man's face was contorted with rage.

They were just being overconfident, thinking that the guys they had taken down earlier posed no threat at all, which is why they didn't take the other side seriously.

After all, we have so many people on our side...

Not only did the successive heads of the Mikadoin family, dressed in black, come, but also the head of the Abe family, who was still called "Abe" before changing his surname to Mikadoin and was dressed in white.

To everyone's surprise, three of them were killed so easily by the other side.

hateful! !

"Leech, be careful."

now.

High up in the darkness, a burly man in a modern trench coat and an iron headband spoke with an unquestionable voice.

The other person's somewhat messy beard and equally disheveled attire made him look like a middle-aged, decadent uncle.

However, all of Abe no Seimei's descendants present simultaneously showed expressions of fear.
