Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

When it was with Li Xin, the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit could occasionally vent its anger. When it wasn't acting up, the Buddha weapon spirit wouldn't bother it. But when it came to the old witch, it was being beaten up all day long without a break.

Thinking about this, Li Xin couldn't help but feel sorry for the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit. But after thinking about it carefully, Li Xin could only give the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit one word: Serves it right!

Chapter 771 I love studying so much!

As she stepped out of the airport, Hitomi Kisugi put on a sun hat and looked up at the Tokyo sky, feeling as if she had stepped into another world.

Six months ago, Hitomi Kisugi told Toshio Utsumi that she was "Cat's Eye". Toshio Utsumi could not pretend he knew nothing and continue to date Hitomi Kisugi, nor could he fulfill his duty as a police officer to arrest Hitomi Kisugi. Torn by inner turmoil, he had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown in Kyushu.

To win back Toshio Utsumi's heart, Hitomi Kisugi chased him all the way to Kyushu, where they engaged in a six-month-long tug-of-war. There were arguments, tears, and laughter along the way, but in the end, the two lovers chose to be together.

Of course, Toshio Utsumi could no longer continue being a policeman, since he simply couldn't continue this profession knowing that his girlfriend was a "cat's eye" (a prostitute), even though he really loved the job.

Hitomi was very happy about this. She didn't like Toshio Utsumi being a policeman in the first place, because it was dangerous and didn't pay much.

After resolving the issue with Toshio Utsumi, Hitomi Kisugi immediately returned to Tokyo, ready to personally share the good news with her family.

To create a bigger surprise, she secretly returned to Tokyo alone, keeping it a secret from everyone.

Arriving at the door of Kisugi Rui's house, Kisugi Hitomi rang the doorbell, then held her breath, wanting to give Kisugi Rui and Kisugi Ai a surprise.

The door opened, but the person who opened it was a completely unfamiliar woman. Well, not entirely unfamiliar, she did look somewhat familiar. I think I've seen her on the packaging of some family planning products before. According to the cover description, she was some kind of female fighter.

Hitomi Kisugi took a step back, looked at the surname plaque on the side wall, and confirmed that it was indeed written as "Kisugi" and not something else.

Yes, I didn't go to the wrong door!

Who are you looking for?

Mai Shiranui asked Hitomi Kisaragi, who was standing outside the door.

"Um, I..."

"Ah, I remember now, you're Xiaotong, right? I've seen you in the photos before, quick, quick!"

Mai Shiranui familiarly pulled Hitomi Masaki into the house.

Hitomi Kisugi blankly allowed Mai Shiranui to do as she pleased (mainly because she couldn't resist), and followed her into the house. In the living room, Ai Kisugi had her feet on the sofa, sitting in a "butterfly" position, eating snacks and watching a variety show. Hearing the noise, she couldn't help but peek out and saw Mai Shiranui pulling Hitomi Kisugi into the house. She said very calmly, "Second sister, why are you back? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

What do you mean by "Why are you back?"? I don't hear any enthusiasm from you about my return at all!

Kiyoharu raised an eyebrow, then saw Kiyoharu Rui wearing an apron walking out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Kiyoharu, the latter smiled and said, "Kiyoharu, you're back!"

Hearing her older sister's warm voice, Hitomi's brows finally relaxed. "My older sister is the best. Ai is so heartless. I've been so good to her all this time!"

(P.S.: Xiao Ai protests: You're not usually that nice to me!)

Hitomi, carrying her luggage, said to Rui, "Big sister, I'm back!"

Looking at her family whom she hadn't seen for six months, Lai Sheng Lei was filled with emotion.

Lai Sheng Lei still had a gentle smile on her face. She said to Lai Sheng Tong, "Tong, you're back just in time. I just finished preparing lunch. Let's eat together!"

"Okay, big sister!"

Hitomi Lai smiled and agreed, but then felt something was off. She felt like she was being treated like a guest.

Hmm, it's probably just my imagination. It's probably because I've been away from home for too long that I feel this sense of unfamiliarity.

Hitomi Kisugi told herself this.

Lunch was plentiful, and all the dishes were ones that Hitomi Kisaki liked, which made her completely forget the strange feeling she had just had. She clapped her hands and said, "Big sister, did you know I would be back today?"

"How could that be? I just thought of you and couldn't help but make some of your favorite dishes."

Lai Sheng Rui smiled slightly. She would never tell Lai Sheng Tong that she had already sent ninjas to protect her, so she knew everything about Lai Sheng Tong's recent activities. In fact, the fact that Lai Sheng Tong was able to overcome all difficulties and be with Utsumi Toshio was also the result of her behind-the-scenes efforts. Otherwise, given Lai Sheng Tong's temper and stubborn personality, she would not have been able to win over Utsumi Toshio even if she had been given another six months.

Is this the telepathic connection between sisters?

Hitomi Kisugi naturally had no idea what Rui Kisugi was thinking. She only felt the warmth of "family affection," and indeed, this warmth was something that nothing else could replace.

At the dinner table, Hitomi Kisugi also met Mai Shiranui—Ai Kisugi's martial arts teacher. Since Ai Kisugi was on summer vacation, she stayed at the Kisugi family home so that Hitomi could guide Ai Kisugi's training at any time.

Hitomi knew that Ai Kisugi was training with some martial artist, but she didn't know the specifics. After all, she wasn't Ai's mother, so she didn't need to interfere in everything.

Wait, you live here?

Hitomi Kisugi thought for a moment, and realized that this apartment seemed to be a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.

The eldest sister has one room, Xiao Ai has one room, and that teacher Xiao Wu has one room... Where am I supposed to stay?!

As soon as Hitomi realized what had happened, Rui said, "Hitomi, really, you didn't even tell me you were coming home beforehand. I wasn't prepared at all. How am I supposed to arrange your room..."

After a pause, Kisugi Rui said to Kisugi Hitomi, "How about this? I bought a house in Bunkyo Ward. It's a wedding house for you and Toshio. You came back this time to get married to Toshio, right? Why don't you go to the new house now and get used to it? What do you say?"

"what?"

Hitomi Kisugi was stunned. She hadn't even mentioned reconciling with Toshio Utsumi yet, and her older sister had already jumped straight to the bridal chamber? Although she was indeed planning to inform her family about her upcoming marriage to Toshio Utsumi, this was just too much...

"Ah, I'm so envious of my second sister! She can move out and live on her own. I want to be an independent adult too!"

Lai Sheng Ai read aloud, only to be gently stepped on by Lai Sheng Lei under the table.

Lai Sheng Lei smiled and said to Lai Sheng Tong, "Come on, Tong, this is the key to the wedding room I prepared for you. Go and take a look. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know, and I'll fix it right away."

Holding the key to the bridal chamber in one hand and carrying her luggage in the other, Hitomi Laisheng was stunned for a long time after being asked to leave the house. Finally, she realized: I've been kicked out of the house.

....................................

After returning from the Great Rakshasa Sect, Li Xin temporarily put aside his current affairs and then went into seclusion in his office to refine his primordial spirit.

Li Xin currently suffers three types of damage: vital energy, foundation, and soul. Since he cannot repair his vital energy and foundation for the time being, he can only start with his soul, condensing and tempering his primordial spirit.

However, the method of condensing the primordial spirit is not easy to cultivate. Li Xin tried for several days but still failed. In addition to the fact that the method of condensing the primordial spirit is only mentioned in a few words and points out a direction, the rest of the method needs to be explored on one's own, part of the reason is that Li Xin's soul is damaged, which makes it more difficult to condense the primordial spirit. Every time the primordial spirit is just condensed, it suddenly dissipates.

After several days of fruitless progress, Li Xin grew increasingly anxious. Since matters of the soul are deeply intertwined with emotions, his anxiety slowed down his progress in condensing his primordial spirit, and he even showed signs of going into demonic possession.

After sensing this, Li Xin immediately calmed down and silently recited the "Ice Heart Mantra" to dispel his inner demons.

Just as Li Xin was reciting the "Ice Heart Mantra," he suddenly thought of something.

"The Easy Secret Without Seeking!"

My current practice is too hasty, which contradicts the mindset required by the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth". The desireless state of mind of the "Easy Secret of No Desire" can help me.

So Li Xin used the "Ice Heart Technique" to unify his mind and the "No-Seeking Ease Technique" to try to condense his primordial spirit. Sure enough, the progress of condensing his primordial spirit increased rapidly. Although he did not succeed in the end, it gave Li Xin hope.

With hope in his heart, Li Xin was no longer in a hurry and even began to think about other issues.

According to the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth", the sign of the "Heavenly Gang Qi Technique" being fully mastered is that the physical body is indestructible and impervious to water and fire, and the primordial spirit can ascend to the nine heavens and descend to the nine earths.

This indestructible physical body reminded Li Xin of the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill." The "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" condenses the three elements to form a golden body. Is the primordial spirit the same?

The essence of a person is nothing more than "essence, energy, and spirit". When the body is the primary source of energy, it is the golden body; when the soul is the primary source of energy, it is the primordial spirit.

With this in mind, Li Xin began to try to condense his primordial spirit using his experience in condensing the golden body. After several attempts, he wrapped his soul with "essence and qi" and formed his primordial spirit.

Yes, the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth" is indeed all-encompassing and profound, but it is not as detailed as the martial arts of later generations. Compared with the martial arts of later generations that are progressive and specify each step, the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth" can only be considered an outline. If you only follow this outline, it will indeed make people confused many times.

Fortunately, Li Xin knew a wide variety of martial arts, and he could always find the corresponding points to interpret the contents of the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth". He also had the "War God Record", which also led to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, to corroborate his understanding. The combination of the two made it much easier for Li Xin to practice the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth".

After condensing his primordial spirit, Li Xin's consciousness involuntarily detached from his body and emerged from the top of his head.

This feeling of his soul leaving his body was very strange to Li Xin. On the one hand, without the support of a physical body, he had a floating feeling as if his feet were not touching the ground. On the other hand, without the constraints of a physical body, ordinary matter could no longer block Li Xin. He could easily pass through walls and move to any place within his mind's reach in an instant.

At the same time, Li Xin's perception became more acute, or to be more precise, his perception of certain things became more acute.

His body sank down, passing through the floor, leaving only his head on the ground, looking down at the bottom of his bed.

Under the bed, the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit and the Buddha weapon spirit were locked in a fierce battle, while the "Three Illusion Gods" cheered on the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit from the side.

The "Tiger Soul" sword spirit grew increasingly fierce in battle, yelling, "Come on, you lot! I'll teach you a lesson!"

These days, Li Xin has been diligently practicing the "Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth," an ancient divine skill that encompasses everything, and it perfectly matches the "Tiger Soul." The "Tiger Soul" sword spirit has drawn a lot of power from it and is now able to fight on equal footing with the spirit of the Buddha weapon.

With no one in charge and Li Xin not having practiced the "Buddha's Palm," the eight Buddhist weapons lost their support and were now in a state of continuous defeat.

The "Tiger Soul" sword spirit was overjoyed and was about to press its advantage and make these bald men practice the "Bald Man's Way" when the Buddha weapon spirit suddenly shone brightly, and its power was instantly enhanced.

"Wait, surrendering means losing half the battle!"

Just as the "Tiger Soul" sword spirit, sensing something was terribly wrong, was about to give up, the Buddha weapon spirits surrounded it and began to hurl a barrage of attacks at it.

Seeing that justice had once again triumphed over evil, Li Xin nodded in satisfaction and left without a word.

Just as Li Xin was about to leave the agency to visit other places, he suddenly sensed something and came to Ayane and Angel's room.

Inside the room, Ayane was installing something. Angel, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Ayane, what are you doing?"

"I'm preparing a birthday present for Ashin."

Ayane replied.

Upon hearing that Ayane was preparing a gift for him, Li Xin realized why he had sensed something, and was deeply moved.

Although Li Xin didn't care about his own birthday, it was very heartwarming to have someone remember him on his birthday.

Angel blinked, and it took her a while to realize: "Oh no, Uncle's birthday is coming up soon? Oh no, I haven't prepared anything yet!"

After a flurry of activity, Angel said to Ayane, "Ayane, will you come with me to buy a gift tomorrow?"

"Get lost, I'm busy."

Ayane didn't even bother to lift her head, focusing intently on assembling the music box in her hands.

After making a fuss for a while, Angel asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is this music box broken? Why did you take it apart?"

"It's none of your business."

Ayane carefully hid a pin-like object inside the music box, feeling a sense of relief.

Great! Once Ah-Xin puts this music box in his room, I can use the listening device inside to eavesdrop... no, I mean, learn from him and Sister Li-Xia's "skills"!

Ayane thought to herself.

As Ayane eavesdropped more often, Li Xin seemed to have discovered her eavesdropping. When he was "practicing" with Mori, he would use the "Kingdom of the Root of All Laws" to create a vacuum wall around the room to block out sound, which seriously affected Ayane's studies.

With no other option, Ayane had to learn how to install and use eavesdropping devices from Leona—as a ninja, one must keep up with the times!

Besides the music box she was going to give to Li Xin, she had also given Mao Lixia a stuffed animal with a listening device installed, which Mao Lixia now kept in her room.

This way, no matter where Li Xin and Mao Lixia "practice," she can observe and learn from them; it's just a pity she can't see the footage.

But it's okay. Leona said that the technology of pinhole cameras seems to be shifting from military use to commercial use on a large scale. With her connections, she can help Ayane get a few high-performance pinhole cameras. Then, not only will there be sound, but also video. Then nothing can stop Ayane from studying.

Yes, she loves learning so much!

Chapter 772 Dragon Horse?

After leaving Ayane's room, Li Xin's spirit flew to the sky above the agency. On the rooftop, Leona was maintaining firearms.

For extraordinary individuals, firearms still pose a certain threat, especially when they are in the hands of firearms experts who are also extraordinary individuals.

Although Leona possesses the strength of a Level 1 Prodigy, she still prefers to use firearms and grenades in normal combat, which, in her words, is more efficient.

Suddenly, Leona seemed to sense something and looked up in the direction where Li Xin's primordial spirit was.

Li Xin felt a pang of guilt. Could it be that Leona had discovered him?

However, the primordial spirit is supposed to be a more hidden existence than the spiritual body. Unless one is a spiritual cultivator with extremely high cultivation, an ordinary spiritual cultivator would not be able to detect Li Xin's existence even if they looked at him with spiritual vision.

Leona carefully surveyed the area in Li Xin's direction, then touched her head and muttered, "There's nothing there. Am I being too sensitive lately?"

Seeing that Leona hadn't noticed, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wasn't doing anything shameful, it was still quite embarrassing to be discovered.

However, Li Xin wasn't sure whether his primordial spirit form would be discovered by spiritual cultivators. After thinking for a moment, he flew his primordial spirit toward the location of a spiritual cultivator he recognized.

The first person Li Xin went to see was naturally Qian Jialuo. Since the "evil beast" incident, Li Xin had not visited Qian Jialuo yet, so this was a good opportunity to pay him a visit.

So, her original purpose in practicing the art of curse killing was to avenge the villagers. Now that she has achieved her revenge, is she still in Tokyo? Or has she gone back to her hometown?

As Li Xin thought this, his primordial spirit had already arrived at Qian Jialuo's house, or more precisely, in front of her.

In the misty bathroom, Chika was taking a shower when she suddenly saw a blurry figure and screamed, "A ghost!"

He instinctively tossed the showerhead in his hand—of course, he missed—and then hurriedly grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around himself.

Outside the bathroom, Matsue Misa heard the noise and immediately ran over, shouting, "Ms. Chika, what's wrong? What happened?"

"There's a ghost!"

Qian Jialuo said in a panic.

Matsue Misa paused for a moment, then said, "But you're an exorcist!"
