From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

The Crow God from before did not appear, and the people from the Corpse Agency did not receive any notification. There were only four priestesses and two people from Akasaka in the main hall, but a large group of crows landed next to the main hall, forming a black mass, like the crowd that came to watch the ceremony.

Tachibana Hirokazu took a deep breath and picked up the mirror and sword. To his surprise, he did not feel the sudden enlightenment he had imagined, and there was nothing unusual at all.

I can't say I was disappointed, but at least I felt like I was trying my best to lift a heavy wooden box, but in the end I only lifted the handle with a huge drop. I even felt a little empty inside.

That's it?

He couldn't help but look at Mu Yuan who was also sitting next to him. Her expression was also a little dazed, and she probably had the same feeling.

Because she had done more thorough psychological preparation before and was even prepared to make sacrifices, this strong contrast might have had a greater impact on her.

"So now we?"

"Be prepared." said Kana Nomiya.

There are many ways to prepare, you can practice on your own, ask someone to teach you, or even improve through actual combat.

With the giant Akasaka as their background, they certainly didn't need to figure it out on their own, nor did they have to risk their lives in actual combat. Tachibana Koichi quickly found an instructor who was good at close combat and so-called gun fighting. Because the underground training ground of the shrine was still far from being completed, they had to practice in the woods near the shrine, or even in a nearby house that had been acquired by Akasaka.

However, these environments are exactly the same as the environments they may have to fight in the future, so it can be considered as targeted training.

Sugishita followed them several times, and he really couldn't understand why these guys who were as lazy as him before suddenly became motivated again. Even the computer geek Baime suddenly began to clumsily practice how to use some fighting techniques under the physical disadvantages of women.

"What happened?" He finally found an opportunity to stop Sasaki Daisuke alone. "What are you hiding from me?"

"No..." Sasaki Daisuke was really not good at dealing with such situations, and he was finally forced to answer.

"Weapons bestowed by God?" Sugishita felt as if he had swallowed a hundred flies.

"If you behave well and plead sincerely to Lord Kaizui, you should have a chance." Sasaki Daisuke said hurriedly.

"Heh..." Sugishita also knew how he usually performed, but... who could have thought that there would be such a day?

He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Daisuke Sasaki took advantage of this opportunity to sneak away to find Qingdao.

"Did you tell Shanxia?" Qingdao shook his head. But this was also what he expected. "What was his reaction?"

"He seems very disappointed. I wonder if he will do anything irrational?" Sasaki became more and more uneasy the more he thought about it.

"We are not facing ordinary superiors, but gods." Qingdao was not worried about this. "If you don't like your superior, you can find ways to make trouble for him, or even ask his enemies for help. But do you dare to face gods? The best your superior can do is fire you, and the worst case scenario is to sue you in court. How do you think gods will deal with betrayers? Sugishita is not stupid, he can't have thought of this."

Having said that, he still found an opportunity to sit alone in the main hall and report the matter to the God.

He had never had such an awareness before, but Sugishita being excluded and Sasaki Daisuke obtaining the largest mirror and sword made him suddenly realize deeply that the likes and dislikes of God may not be how capable you are, or even how much you have done, but how much awe and respect you have for Him.

This may just be the beginning.

Get ready as soon as possible.

It was just a very simple sentence, but Qingdao felt tremendous oppression and danger from these words.

In the past, he had never thought that there were really monsters, evil spirits and gods in this world, but they all exist in reality. Who knows what will happen in the future?

He sat there for a long time before leaving, and what surprised him a little but seemed natural was that when he walked out of the torii, he ran into Sugishita, who would have gone home from work by this time of year.

The two nodded tacitly, said nothing, and passed each other.

#####

These guys' imagination ability... Xia Chuan was speechless about their performance.

His original intention of controlling the crows to say that was just to let them practice well and serve as guinea pigs to verify the effects of the things he made as soon as possible.

But now it seems that everyone, starting from the shrine maiden, believes it to be some kind of prophecy and warning. Tachibana Hiroichi even quickly called Kuroda Koji to report this sentence to him.

The first time the Skeleton Society appeared was to warn them through supernatural events. Although until now they still don't know whether the prophecy has been fulfilled, has passed, or has been successfully nipped in the bud by the Skeleton Society, they don't even know if the prophecy is true, but they cannot ignore any possible danger.

Kimoto even sat in the main hall for a long time, praying to Haibi, hoping that he could give a clearer answer.

They are all full and have nothing to do.

Natsukawa thought bitterly while looking at Aoki Yui who was busy.

If they are all so busy, would they still think so much when they have nothing to do?

Even Kawaguchi Reina was spinning like a top because she was busy with the sect's New Year festival. It seemed that I was really too good to them.

So……

"Yui, I'm going to go out for a while." He stood up from his seat.

"Yeah." Yui Aoki nodded a little nervously.

Several regular customers looked at them with intriguing eyes, but did not make fun of them as they did in the past.

Matsushigegoro happened to turn a page of the newspaper at this time, but because he used too much force, he accidentally tore the newspaper.

He looked at the regular customers sitting at the bar in anger, and they all turned their eyes away at the same time, as if they didn't see what was happening.

#####

Xia Chuan strolled down the street. Because of the Cheka incident, the activities of the Styx Society seemed to have temporarily died down, and abnormal incidents suddenly became unusually rare.

It's really hard to get used to it.

"Asakawa, still no report?"

"Not yet." Asakawa Manabu replied.

It seems I have to do it myself.

However, Xiachuan would not go to the extent of deliberately killing people in order to create evil spirit incidents.

The crows were dispersed to search for dying people and those who had died recently. They could smell the scent of dying people and animals, so they would gather around them in advance. Now, Xia Chuan began to take advantage of this instinct of theirs.

Soon, they brought Xiachuan to a shack under an overpass where homeless people had made a makeshift mess of various garbage.

A few elderly homeless people were trying to save the life of a companion, but Xia Chuan had already seen a spirit that had formed above his head and was about to dissipate.

He then transformed himself into a rotten zombie and walked towards them whimpering.

"What is that?" One of the homeless people saw Xia Chuan and screamed because he heard the sound of him deliberately kicking over the can. "Ahhhhhh!! Monster! Monster!!"

It wasn't even completely dark yet, how could something like this appear?!

The next moment, they had dropped everything and fled madly in the other direction.

This is also for your own good.

Xia Chuan stopped and threw a small ball of spiritual energy towards the spirit that was on the verge of disintegration.

I'm sorry, but you're going to disappear anyway, so why not make use of your remaining energy before you go?

Chapter 101 Easily

"Don't be so excited!" Seeing Sasaki Daisuke about to rush out as soon as the car door opened, Qingdao had to reach out and grab him. "Take it easy!"

Due to this delay, Tachibana Hirokazu and Kimoto had already gotten out of the car.

Neither had been on a scene like this for a while, but they hadn't forgotten standard procedure.

Because the police received a report about a "walking rotten corpse", Tachibana Hirokazu took out the net gun from the trunk, while Kimoto held a pistol in one hand and the wooden sword he had just obtained in the other.

The bronze mirrors were hung on their chests, but they were still a little unsure whether these two things were useful or not.

They did not doubt the power of Haizhi, but they had no confidence in many things without experiencing them personally, which made them believe more in what they already knew.

Aoshima and Sasaki Daisuke also caught up at this time, while Inaba Rika and Hyakume followed slowly behind.

She finally received the oracle from the Corpse, but the content of the oracle was much simpler than before. All members of the Corpse Agency were dispatched to deal with the evil spirit that just appeared under the viaduct, and they were actually training.

The instructions were very clear. Nomiya Wakana, who had been feeling uncomfortable in the shrine for a long time, had to continue to hold it in, while Inaba Rika became the supreme commander again after a long absence.

"Hyame, stay with me." Inaba Rika had been thinking about how to conduct the so-called actual combat training on the way. "For the first actual combat, Tachibana and Kimoto will lead, and Aoshima and Sasaki will provide support."

"No problem." Everyone nodded except Sasaki who was a little disappointed.

Inaba Rika then began the standard procedure of the shrine maiden, praying for the arrival of the gods with the Hinoki Dance, while Katsura Dance and Kaede Dance prayed for the four people before allowing them to continue on their way.

The police around looked at them in surprise. They must have never experienced such a thing before. However, this was only a matter of time.

Because the Corpse Agency arrived too quickly, the police's follow-up support and Akasaka had not arrived yet. Fortunately, there were not many people nearby. Only the homeless people who came to report the case were blocked away by the police who arrived first.

"What's going on?" Tachibana Hiroshi showed his ID. It was his first time to perform a mission wearing a mask, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing his ID, the policeman immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, we just blocked the passages on both sides according to the regulations, and we didn't find the thing they said...um. But we didn't dare to go closer, and we don't know if it is hidden in those junks."

"You have a detector, right? Is there any response?" asked Tachibana Hirokazu.

The police shook their heads. Too many frontline police officers had sacrificed their lives in the recent period. The existence of these things was no longer a secret among them, and they didn't dare to get close at all.

"You did a great job." Tachibana Hirokazu said habitually. "Leave it to us next."

"please!"

Tachibana Hiroichi nodded to Kimoto, and the two of them slowly walked towards the messy shack, one on the left and one on the right.

Sasaki wanted to follow immediately, but was pulled back by Aoshima. He didn't catch up until they were nearly ten meters away. "Haven't you read Akasaka's rules?"

Many evil spirits have a fixed range of activities, and their attacks are often swift and silent. Keeping your distance may not necessarily increase your chances of winning, but it can at least prevent everyone from being wiped out in one second.

The four of them maintained this formation and walked forward slowly. Kimoto kept looking at the instrument hanging on her shoulder, while Tachibana Hirokazu always walked one step ahead of her, carefully avoiding blind spots that might hide danger, and slowly approaching that side.

They soon saw the body of the homeless man, but the so-called "rotten corpse" did not appear.

Did you run away?

Tachibana Hiroichi stopped and made a slight gesture, and Kimoto raised his gun and fired a shot into the air.

Nothing came out of the shack.

It was truly the most torturous situation. Tachibana Hiroichi started walking again, and at this moment, the abnormal wave detectors on both of them vibrated violently at the same time. Just as they were preparing to flee backwards as usual, the bronze mirror on Tachibana Hiroichi's chest suddenly "buzzed", and a pale shadow suddenly appeared in front of them, as if it had been heavily bounced off his body!

Tachibana Hiroshi instinctively shot at the shadow, then threw away the net gun and took out a pistol, while Kimoto had already fired three shots at the shadow.

The steel net and bullets penetrated the shadow directly without causing any impact on it, but it seemed to be frightened by the previous attack and fled towards the shack.

Sasaki Daisuke let out an "Ah" sound behind him, and Tachibana Koichi and Kimoto looked at each other. Tachibana immediately drew out the wooden sword and held it like a saber. He still held the pistol tightly in his right hand, which he placed on his left hand holding the sword, and followed towards the shack step by step.

Sasaki Daisuke could no longer restrain himself and followed him in big strides. Qingdao failed to catch him and cursed under his breath, but could only follow him.

The four of them remained in groups of two. At this time, with a "hum", the shadow appeared again, but was bounced away from Mu Yuan. Her movements were extremely fast, and she swung to the side almost at the same time as the sound was made. The four of them heard a shrill cry. The shadow tried to hide in the debris again, and Sasaki Daisuke threw his wooden sword like a flying knife, which just pierced its back.

The shrill screams forced them to grit their teeth, but fortunately, after just a few seconds, the shadow collapsed in front of them like a punctured balloon and then disappeared.

Sasaki Daisuke's wooden sword also fell to the ground.

He immediately ran over to pick it up again, and asked excitedly: "Is it dead? Did I kill it?!"

"Don't take it lightly!" Qingdao said unhappily.

But the four of them then walked back and forth in the area several times and no problems occurred.

"That thing should have been destroyed?" They could only reasonably draw such a conclusion, and at this time, the support vehicle finally appeared.

As usual, police cars, ambulances, and engineering vehicles were all parked outside the safe zone, and many people were hurriedly getting out of the vehicles.

"It doesn't matter! I've destroyed it!"

Even through the crow mask, they could feel Sasaki Daisuke's irrepressible excitement. He waved his hands vigorously at those people and shouted loudly.

Tachibana Hirokazu had already put away his pistol, but he subconsciously still held the wooden sword in his left hand. He picked up the bronze mirror on his chest with his hand. It looked normal. If you hadn't experienced it yourself, it would be hard to believe that it was this little thing that might have saved his life just now.

It is faster and more direct than the exorcism process by the witches. Of course, it may also be because the evil spirit itself is very weak.

However, for them, it was a completely subversive experience.

If Akasaka's agents had something like this... He couldn't help but look at Kimoto, and from her expression, he knew she must be thinking the same thing.

Chapter 102 New Year’s Gift

Xia Chuan was not actually very satisfied with the results of the experiment, because he suddenly realized that he could and could only test whether the items he imitated were useful, but it was difficult to test the differences in effects brought about by different shapes, regulations and other details.

Even if he gave the same aura to each evil spirit when he created it, due to the differences between the spirits themselves, the power of the evil spirits produced would vary greatly and could not be quantified at all. The result of being unable to quantify was that there was no way to obtain accurate data and effects.

The good thing is that since it was confirmed that the bronze mirror did have a protective effect against the attacks of evil spirits, he immediately and without hesitation quietly modified the ten magatama he sent out so that they all had this effect.

Next up is the New Year.
