I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

"what……"

The girl laughed, clutching her stomach, as if she was overjoyed. She even squatted down and laughed for a long time.

Then, rubbing her face, she tried to calm herself down before continuing.

"I have some ideas about what you mentioned before."

Takagawa Takayuki came to see Iori Glass today not to catch up with his childhood friend, but because he had important business to discuss.

That is, as mentioned before.

[Using techniques like reversal, the courtesan's ability to absorb power is transformed into the ability to give power, and then a triangular cycle is formed through Sukuna-Courtesan-Taira Masakado].

This will allow the "SS" level Taira no Masakado to regain his full glory.

"The idea is fine! And it doesn't necessarily have to be a reversal of the spell!! My idea is that it can be done like this..."

Shoko Ieiri took out her handheld notepad and pen and began to explain to herself.

"You know the [Kikyo-Killing Formation], right? I remember you know how to do that."

"Well, I will."

They even used this to seal away the demon god Marbas before.

The effect of the formation is that it causes the opponent to continuously lose power while preventing them from recovering or replenishing their strength...

"But power doesn't disappear into thin air; it only transfers. So the power lost by the [Killing the Rebellious Kikyo Formation] can be collected and sent to where you want it."

"Genius idea!"

Takagawa Takayuki understood. All he had to do was inscribe the "Killing the Rebellious Kikyo Array" on the courtesan, and then let her continuously lose power, directly transferring it to Taira no Masakado!

"That's right, then there's no need to reverse the spell!"

It's mainly because it's very difficult to learn.

Gojo Satoru only learned this ability when facing life-or-death situations, and if it were easy to acquire, Takagawa Takayuki would have learned it long ago.

"Alright! That's it!! But this plan can only be carried out temporarily..."

The power transferred to Taira no Masakado was, after all, not his own.

even if.

It might bring it back to its peak, but at most it could only last for a while, and it would eventually revert to its original state.

But it's enough.

In the battle to defeat Abe no Seimei, there is an extra "SS" helper - Taira no Masakado has already signed a contract with him. Although the possibility of him going berserk cannot be ruled out, at most he will just attack everyone indiscriminately like the courtesan.

So it's alright, it's still operable.

"Alright! Break time is over, I need to go back to work."

"I was even saying I'd treat you to dinner tonight."

"Dinner was made by Chizuru herself?!"

"If you want to eat it, I can call her and ask her to prepare it."

It's just one more pair of chopsticks. There are so many people in the family now, it won't make a difference if one more piece of glass comes in.

"Ah... Chizuru has become such a beauty! You must be enjoying yourself every day!!"

"..."

"But I'm too busy today, I'll come another time."

"welcome any time."

"Are you going to Tokyo again after this?"

"Going."

Their home is at the Hachioji Shrine, so they can't just leave it there. Besides, they need to go back and investigate the "Death Mark"—Kaguya and the others are still under the curse.

"So that means there's only about half a month left?"

"Ah."

It should still be more than half a month before Abe no Seimei is resurrected, but there's nothing much going on lately.

Regarding the matter of gathering information about this strongest Onmyoji, Grandpa said that at the Shouzuka Daimyo Shrine, there is still a great yokai who fought against him a thousand years ago—[Shuten-dōji].

The seal over there is intact. I can just find some time to go and talk to him. As for whether he'll tell me anything...

It shouldn't be a big problem, because Shuten-dōji really hates Abe no Seimei.

We chatted briefly for a while longer.

Until I left, I made it a routine for this guy to quit smoking.

"You want to become that kind of old woman."

"Watch out, or I'll tell Grandma Fugui to beat you up!"

"How many cigarettes have you smoked today?"

"Two packs... ah, one pack... no, only half..."

They took the cigarette from the girl's mouth and found three more packs of cigarettes in her white coat.

Even if you see things like missing limbs or disemboweled bodies every day, you should still smoke less.

Gao Chuanlong understands the family's success.

Because she is so powerful, those who are sent to her are basically her colleagues who are about to die, and the methods of spirits or monsters are far beyond what humans can match.

Therefore, Ieyasu's daily life is usually a million times more exciting than any kind of horror movie or game.

Without a smoke or a drink, I probably wouldn't be able to keep up.

Ok……

The girl's alcohol tolerance was also at a "heroic" level, and the big fox liked her very much because the two of them used to drink together often.

"I know~"

Housekeeper!

The girl opened her mouth and said silently, her face showing an incredibly cute expression.

He then waved goodbye to himself.

Just then, an ambulance rushed over, and a nurse in the distance shouted loudly to the girl.

"Shoko, Shoko! Help! This person is dying!!"

"Ah, I'll be right there."

He immediately turned around and ran in that direction.

I'm really busy.

And... such a cold and evil feeling, is it a [spirit]? But why is this aura a bit strange?

Gao Chuanlong looked towards the ambulance in the distance and sensed something unusual.

There are relatively few spirits in Kyoto because there are more monks than mortals. Basically, as soon as one appears, it will be quickly killed by its peers. However, recently, Hagoromo-Gitsune and many other Kyoto yokai that were originally sealed have come out.

Some of the guys are starting to get rowdy.

I checked with Ieiri Glass and there was nothing I could do to help.

Before leaving, Gao Chuanlong glanced at his seriously injured colleague who had just been brought in. His body was twisted to the extreme, with more than two-thirds of it contorted like a pretzel.

A large amount of bone, half of the internal organs, and half of the face had all disappeared.

His body was covered in all sorts of wounds, cuts, blunt force trauma, punctures, burns, abscesses... and even showed signs of some kind of poisoning.

How did things get like this? It's a wonder he's still alive.

The man was frantically muttering something, but because of the absence of a tongue, he couldn't utter any specific words and could only be barely understood through his lip movements.

Don't be the first to fall asleep. Don't be the first to fall asleep. Don't be the first to fall asleep. Don't be the first to fall asleep...

"..."

Chapter 124 [The Vanished Apartment]

The Vanished Apartment.

It is one of the "high-risk paranormal locations" that has recently emerged, located on a long street along the river in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto.

It was during the day when Takakawa Takayuki went to find Iri Glass, before leaving, that he met his colleague who was covered in serious injuries, the place he had previously been in charge of treating.

A few days later, in the evening, he brought Kaguya Shinomiya here.

Takagawa Takayuki came for a simple reason: several of his colleagues who had previously "worked" here said they had seen a doll dressed in a red wedding dress in the apartment.

The true form of the [Death Mark] appeared in Kyoto?

Gao Chuanlong was a little puzzled, so he decided to come and see for himself, since he didn't have anything else to do lately...

……

"Long... all the information about the apartment is here... and also..."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Kaguya Shinomiya was still a little unaccustomed to the boy's intimate way of addressing her.

The main reason is that every time she hears the name "Long," it reminds her of the chaotic scenes of certain nights. After all, when she hears it in those situations, any feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness are completely forgotten.

So it gives me a very strange feeling...

He quickly shook his head!

The apartments in the distance look dangerous!! This isn't the time to be thinking about that!!!

Perhaps because of her many experiences, when Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the old apartment building deep in the alley under the autumn night, she could always feel a strange, evil, and cold aura.

This wasn't just the girl's imagination; Takagawa Takayuki could also sense that the apartment in front of him was indeed somewhat special.

According to the information and intelligence gathered by the girls over the course of an afternoon, the apartment initially appeared to have experienced only a typical case of an elderly person living alone dying.

It was about two months ago.

An elderly woman in her eighties died in apartment 904, and her body was not discovered until more than half a month later, when it began to decompose and emit an unusual stench.

This is a very common phenomenon in Japan: "lonely death." Young people flock to the cities, lack contact with their families, or have no communication at all, and end up dying alone at home, with no one knowing.

“Strangely, we discovered this when we investigated the old woman’s past.”

Kaguya Shinomiya handed over the report.

"Her parents, husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandson... all her relatives had passed away before."

"what."

For some reason, the ancient phrase "a lone star destined to bring misfortune" popped into Gao Chuanlong's mind.

And it was after his death.

Within ten days, a series of murders occurred in the apartment, but the colleagues at the time confirmed that it was not the work of a spirit, but rather a human act.

Approximately seven families were murdered in various corners of the apartment building.

Until the police sent an undercover agent into the apartment to investigate, they finally caught the murderer with the help of a deliveryman.

Up to this point, everything is still considered "normal".

but.

The serial killer died suddenly inside the police station on the day he was arrested, and the two undercover officers also died tragically that same night.

The scene was clearly directly related to the spirit. The three dead people were spitting out large amounts of long, wet, and foul-smelling hair that looked like seaweed from their mouths, eyes, ears, and...

After that.

Several more residents disappeared from the apartment building. Two mediums who went to investigate escaped from inside, one dead and the other injured.

Then, an "A" level colleague continued to lead the team to investigate inside. The result was that two people died and one was injured, leaving only the "A" level person who escaped.

That's the man I saw today, the one who was brought in for emergency treatment and kept muttering, "Don't be the first one to fall asleep."

Therefore, the apartment was officially named the "Disappearing Apartment" by the Kyoto Spiritual Medium Association, listed as a "High-Risk Haunted Location in Kyoto", and its level was upgraded to "S", while retaining the possibility of "S~".
