From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil
Page 177
If he was just let go to find someone, probably few monsters would listen to him and come over obediently. He might even slip away. Xia Chuan thought about it for a moment and felt that since he had already come to this point, he might as well be more thorough.
"Qianyu, gather all the apprentice miko who have awakened their shikigami and bring them all to Kyoto. Um... have Kiryu Ichiryu pick the 20 best performers from the God's Chosen Group and bring them to Kyoto as well."
Normally, the fastest way is the Shinkansen, which takes about two and a half hours, and driving takes more than six hours, but the Skeleton Society, which has already ruled Tokyo, certainly won't use this method. Although there is a certain risk, Xiachuan still asked Kuroda Koji to temporarily arrange a military plane to fly people directly from Tokyo to Kyoto.
On the way, Natsukawa asked Chiyu Moriyama and Ichiryu Kiryu to announce the content of the mission to the apprentice priestesses and the chosen warriors, and at the same time briefly conveyed to them the key points of carrying out the mission.
An apprentice priestess and two chosen warriors are assigned to take monsters and self-aware ghosts to the place designated by Lord Shiro. First, they must state their identity and intentions and persuade them with kind words, but if the other party does not know what is good for them, they can take any measures they deem necessary.
"Be careful and don't lose your manners, but don't lose face for the Xiachuan Society either. Bring them here safely." Xiachuan said to the miko. "Let's go!"
The car that Gao Ye had arranged in advance immediately took them off. The convoy disappeared from his sight in the sunset, but the hundreds of crows he had made while waiting had already flown high into the sky and began to act as his eyes, keeping an eye on the situation of the convoy.
"Will they be in danger?" Chiyu Moriyama was a little uneasy, but under Kiryu Ichiryū's mask, there was clearly a desire for killing and fighting.
"Normally, it shouldn't happen." Of course, they all knew that Hai Luo was just one of Xia Chuan's identities. "Unless they run into someone from the Styx Society, but the trials they have been conducting recently should be enough for them to escape unscathed. This is also a test for them. Don't worry, Kyoto is much smaller than Tokyo, and any situation will be resolved in time."
The role of Chisuke Moriyama and Ichiryu Kiryu is to act as firefighters in case of accidents. However, as he expected, the Tsukumogami at the level of the izakaya owner could only recognize some monsters at a similar level as him. Faced with the threat of the Skeleton Society, they had no will to resist. The apprentice priestesses and the eager chosen warriors around them immediately made them give up the idea of escaping and get in the car obediently.
Guests arrived one after another, and the small izakaya could not accommodate so many people. Under Takano's arrangement, the meeting place was quickly moved to a nearby Inari Shrine with a vast square. Tables and chairs sufficient to accommodate hundreds of people were placed on the square. The izakaya's cooking utensils and ingredients were also brought over, and even the ingredients from several nearby restaurants were all looted.
The boss didn't dare to look at those of his own kind who were betrayed by him, and buried his head in cooking. Natsukawa took Moriyama Chiyu to receive the guests who were "invited". Soon he got more information about the aliens and their hiding places from them, and sent out the shrine maidens and samurai again.
Not every monster is a coward who would easily betray others, but Xia Chuan doesn't care.
This was not an action he had deliberately planned, but a meeting he had decided on spur of the moment.
He had given up hope on the secret of the Onmura clan of Kofukuji. He did this, on the one hand, to test the priestess and the chosen warriors, to observe their performance, to see if the training in the illusion had worked, and whether they could play a more important role in the future. On the other hand, he wanted to announce the existence of the Skeleton Society to the aliens in Kyoto and the surrounding areas, to show them the intentions of the Skeleton Society, and to warn the members of the Styx Society who were likely hiding in this area.
If they just stay quiet and don't cause trouble, everyone will be able to live in peace. Under the new system of the Skeleton Society, the aliens can even get more freedom than before. But if someone wants to take advantage of the Watchers' withdrawal to do something, it's best not to let the Skeleton Society know.
The apprentice miko who possessed the shikigami was not very powerful yet, but as long as they grew up, the aliens invited today would not be their opponents. And the strength of the chosen warriors must have reached the level of lower-level monsters, and their appearance itself was enough to show the power of the Skeleton Society.
The upper level includes Corpse Wielder, Corpse Rin, Corpse Mountain and Corpse Luo who made his appearance this time, and of course Corpse Mirage who will soon find a suitable opportunity to show up. The middle level includes the priestesses who have shown their faces in front of Akasaka a long time ago and Kiryu Ichiryu codenamed Corpse Dragon. The lower level includes the God-chosen warriors who officially made their appearance this time. A complete system has surfaced.
The Skeleton Society with such a complete system can definitely bring much greater shock to the world than the Skeleton Society with only a few people taking action all the time. Although this is likely to irritate the nerves of the Watchers, as Long Qingting said, now that the Skeleton Society has come to the forefront, showing more fangs is definitely more advantageous than hiding the power.
Xiachuan even hoped that a few confused aliens would fight with the priestesses, so that Moriyama Chiyu and Kiryu Ichiryu could take the opportunity to show their strength.
Unfortunately, until late at night, when all the "guests" could no longer or were unwilling to reveal more names and hiding places of the aliens, no battle took place.
"Then..." Xia Chuan sighed inwardly, cleared his throat, and was about to explain to these aliens the purpose of calling them here tonight. At this time, an unnatural glow suddenly lit up on the top of Arashiyama not far away, and then a huge human head floated up. A moment later, the shadows of two huge white lanterns also floated on Mount Hiei in the east.
interesting……
Because of the obstruction of the house, the surrounding aliens and the people of the Kono Agency did not see these two obviously supernatural things, but for Xia Chuan, who had a flock of crows as his eyes, they immediately caught his attention as soon as they appeared.
Then, a third huge ghost figure stood up in the urban area south of Kyoto.
"Qianyu, Kiryu, a distinguished guest has arrived, go and greet him." Xiachuan said.
The departure of the two attracted the attention of a few people, but because the priestesses had been coming and going before, most people's attention was still on Xia Chuan.
The three huge phantoms slowly approached their location, and although it was already late at night, they immediately caused a huge commotion. They did not actually cause any direct damage, but in the area they passed by, more than a dozen rear-end collisions and cars running off the road and hitting the sidewalk immediately occurred.
A few minutes later, Takano's headquarters chief received a report about the three huge ghosts and stood up with some uneasiness.
"It's okay." Xia Chuan smiled and shook his head. "They shouldn't be hostile. You just need to maintain order."
Chief Takano could not trust and rely on the power of the Skeleton Society as much as Kuroda Mitsui did, and of course he could not believe in the Skeleton Society's good intentions, but he could not make a decision to launch a rash attack on these ghosts. He could only step aside and keep abreast of the latest situation over the phone. He ordered Takano's emergency response team to immediately take up their EMP weapons and await further orders. At the same time, he ordered other Takano personnel who had been on high alert because of Natsukawa's actions to block traffic in time and clear the roads in the areas where the three ghosts might pass.
Nothing like this had ever happened in his more than ten years in office, which made him a little annoyed.
Is the world really going to change?
At this time, Chiyu Moriyama had already arrived in front of the huge ghost shadow.
It is not a real ghost, but a phantom created by some magic. The real body should be hidden somewhere nearby, but it cannot be seen through the crow or the magatama on Chiyu Moriyama's chest.
Perhaps sensing the evil aura of Moriyama Chiyu, the walking ghost immediately stopped, bent down slightly, and looked at her with a teasing look, as if wanting to see what she was going to do.
"Victory!" Chiyu Moriyama simply shouted. With her demonic power, she no longer needed to obtain divine power through the Hinoki Dance like other shrine maidens before she could fight.
"Meow~" The black cat suddenly appeared on the road in front of her, scaring the huge ghost and the Takano agents who were ambushing nearby.
It yawned lazily, then shook its body, and the shadows of two evil spirits appeared in front of it.
"Go!"
The ghost quickly pounced on the surrounding buildings, and the cat itself also penetrated the house in front of it at an extremely fast speed and began to search for the guy who created the ghost.
"Wait a minute!" The ghost suddenly looked a little panicked, and even his body suddenly shrank. "I have no hostility. Is this the way the Skeleton Society treats guests?"
"In that case, please show yourself." said Moriyama Chiyu.
The ghost hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, the cat's voice suddenly rang out: "Meow~ Found it!"
The ghost suddenly disappeared, and the sound of a violent collision came from a nearby house. Moriyama Chiyu immediately rushed over there, but before she rushed into the house, she saw the cat running out through the wall again, and immediately went into another nearby house. The two vengeful spirits summoned by it also rushed over here at the fastest speed.
Escape technique?
Chiyu Moriyama was not unfamiliar with this. Monsters that knew this spell were rather troublesome to deal with, but there should not be many monsters that could change their positions as quickly and continuously as Natsukawa and Huang. She immediately acted in accordance with the direction of the Nekomata's movements. Sure enough, a moment later, a short monster was blocked in an alley by her and the Nekomata.
"I surrender! I surrender!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the monster immediately shouted. "I was also instigated by others. I didn't do anything!"
"Please follow me. Lord Shiro is still waiting."
Chiyu Moriyama stared at him, wondering if it would be more convenient to just knock him out and take him back, but the monster had already decisively given up resistance: "No problem! The car is over there, right?"
On the other side, Kiryu Kazuryū had also arrived in front of the huge head.
However, it was not an illusion, but a huge object that really existed. It was flying up and down irregularly, and from time to time it approached the windows of nearby houses and looked inside with wide eyes. When the residents in the rooms screamed, it laughed and continued to fly forward.
Sometimes it would even land directly in front of a car that had been scared and stopped on the side of the road, open its mouth wide as if it wanted to swallow the entire car, and then fly up laughing after the driver was scared half to death.
Among the accidents caused by their appearance, the most are caused by them.
"Come down!" Kiryu Kazuyu just shouted at it.
"Hehe~" The huge head immediately flew high up, made a face at him, and then floated towards a house in the distance.
Kiryu Ichiryu said nothing more. He just held the scabbard with one hand and ran forward quickly and silently in the darkness. The next moment, he stepped directly on the outer wall of the house and rushed vertically upwards. The vision of the huge head was blocked by the house, and he did not see his arrival.
Without stopping, Kiryu Ichiryu flew over the rooftop, crossed the partition wall, and fell towards the head floating in the air.
The head that was spying on someone's house only then realized the danger and hurriedly distanced itself from the house, but it was too late.
The sword flashed.
A line of blood appeared in the middle of the huge head. The next moment, countless dirty blood gushed out. It separated into two halves in the air, falling with a large amount of flesh and blood, and heavily hit the green plants and cars parked on the roadside.
Kiryu Ichiryu landed on the ground and without stopping, he ran quickly towards the direction of the huge lantern.
Chapter 254: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (4)
Xia Chuan could only smile bitterly. After staying with others for too long, it would be easy for him to be influenced by them and mistakenly regard all members of the Skeleton Society as gentle and kind people. Only at this time would he remember that Kiryu Ichiryū was not some good man, but a real killing god in his team.
According to his idea, all he needed to do was teach the giant head a lesson and let it know how powerful the Skeleton Society was, but Kiryu Kazuyuki obviously had a completely different idea.
However, he also had no way to let Kiryu Kazuryū intentionally hold back when fighting against an unfamiliar enemy, because that would be gambling Kiryu Kazuryū's life on the opponent's strength and intentions.
So he could only immediately send two priestesses and the chosen warriors to take over Moriyama Chiyu's "guest" and ask her to go and deal with the monster at the giant lantern as soon as possible.
But he was still a step too late. When Chisuke Moriyama arrived, Kiryu Ichiryu had already started fighting with the other party over a disagreement. One of the two huge lanterns had been cut in two and fell to the ground. A one-eyed monk whose entire body from hair to clothes was blue was running away in a somewhat embarrassed manner while fighting with Kiryu Ichiryu, shouting loudly words like "misunderstanding".
"Lord Hailong! Please stop and listen to what he says!" Moriyama Chiyu was completely unable to intervene and could only speak loudly from the side.
The opponent was unable to stop Kiryu Ichiryu's murderous intent, but since the important priestess beside the god had spoken, Kiryu Ichiryu could only make a fake slash to quickly distance himself from the opponent.
"This miko..." The one-eyed monk took this opportunity to flee a few steps, but was soon blocked by the Nekomata and the vengeful spirits it summoned. He could only smile bitterly and stop. "I heard that Lord Shiro of the Skeleton Society is inviting the royal family of Kyoto to a meeting. I dare to come here uninvited. I hope the miko can help introduce him to one or two."
"Royal clan?" This title made Moriyama Chiyu slightly stunned, then she took a step back and bowed slightly. "Master, please."
The one-eyed monk looked at Kiryu Ichiryu, who had sheathed his sword but whose killing intent had not diminished at all, and laughed dryly: "This Lord Skeleton Dragon..."
Chiyu Moriyama could only cough dryly and looked at Ichiryu Kiryu. The latter nodded slightly and left first.
Thanks to the traffic control and guidance of the Kono Agency, their car arrived at the shrine where Natsukawa was holding the banquet very smoothly. The arrival of the one-eyed monk made the monsters who had been invited before whisper in surprise, and their degree of surprise was even greater than that of the monster who called himself Aoyama.
"I am the old monk Zhenghui from Benyin Temple. I am honored to meet you, Master Hailuo."
He looked even weirder when he was seen up close, but Xia Chuan had seen monsters uglier than him before, so after a brief sigh, he smiled and led him to the main table.
Qingshan looked at him and smiled bitterly.
Xia Chuan said, "Are there any other distinguished guests who want to attend this party? If so, please let me know so that I can send someone to greet them in time to avoid any misunderstandings."
These words stunned Honinji Shoei for a moment, and then he realized that one of the people who should have arrived was missing.
"Oshima he?"
"Because there were some misunderstandings in communication, so, I'm sorry..." Xia Chuan said.
“What?!” The one-eyed monk stood up subconsciously. Kiryu Ichiryu immediately took a step towards him, which made him realize his situation. He quickly put his hands together and said loudly: “This is also Oshima’s fate. I believe he has already passed away at this moment. It’s really good.”
Xia Chuan continued to smile, but he was sighing in his heart. He didn't really want to turn himself into a bully like the Styx Society, but the performance of this one-eyed old monk made him understand that in the alien world where strength is paramount, there might be no more effective excuse than this.
A team cannot be made up entirely of killing gods like Kazuyuki Kiryu, but sometimes, members like him are indispensable.
"So...are there any more?"
"No more, no more!" Honinji Shoei said hurriedly. At this moment, dozens of huge red lanterns lit up on Mount Atago in the north. Natsukawa saw this scene at the first time and then sneered.
"Then it should be another guest. Hailong, thank you for making another trip."
"Please wait a moment!" Zheng Hui immediately realized what was happening and said hurriedly. "There is obviously some misunderstanding here, Master Hai Luo, please allow me to mediate."
Kiryu Kazuyu had already set off, but fortunately Natsukawa stopped him.
"You probably did this today for your own reasons and intentions, which I can fully understand. We invited everyone here today to make clear the Skeleton Society's position and to avoid more misunderstandings and unpleasant incidents."
Xia Chuan looked at the aliens around him. Everyone had stopped moving and there was only a faint sound of wind in the huge shrine square.
"The position of the Skeleton Society has never changed. Even today, when we have reached a consensus with the Watchers, we have no intention of ruling this land by violence. As before, all we hope for is to build a world where aliens and humans do not harm or interfere with each other and live in harmony. We will continue to work hard to realize this ideal in the future."
The members of the Takano Agency on the sidelines were also listening to him, but the expressions on their faces were obviously much more complicated than those of the aliens.
"Based on this concept, we hope that the past situation can be changed. Akasaka, Kono, Izumo, Morioka, and Kenzan institutions should no longer guide their actions based on the theory that aliens are guilty and eliminate all aliens. Instead, they should be screened, act prudently, and punish the guilty. Aliens should also restrain their behavior and stop wantonly violating the laws of the human world, killing humans and plundering property at will. We will not send people to various places to check and supervise whether there are any incidents that violate the above principles, but we will accept your respective complaints and investigate them, and severely punish violators. Similarly, we will also impose the same punishment on those who fabricate facts."
"Finally, if you happen to know any members of the Styx Society, please tell them that since they have already quit Tokyo and paid the price for their actions, the Skeleton Society is now willing to give them a chance. From now on, as long as they quit the Styx Society and accept the above principles of the Skeleton Society, we will forgive them. There is only one chance, so please take care of yourself."
No one spoke, so Xia Chuan raised the glass in front of him and said, "Nice to meet you all. From today on, this place will be the branch of the Skeleton Shrine in Kyoto. I will leave the shrine maidens and priests here. If you have any needs, you can talk to the Skeleton Society directly through them. So, please drink this glass."
The aliens may not really believe what he said, but in this case, no one will jump out to question or object.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, then Xia Chuan let them serve themselves.
If you want to stay and chat, then stay. If you want to leave, you can leave now.
Having said that, the vast majority of those present were monsters of low power, and no one dared to jump out and be the first to leave, so they could only put on a forced smile.
Only Honinji Shoei hurriedly offered a glass of wine to Natsukawa, and pulled Aoyama along, and the two of them quickly left the place and headed north towards Mt. Atago.
Kiryu Ichiryu kept his eyes on their necks, but he didn't say a word. The aliens didn't dare to come over, so Xia Chuan was the only one drinking by himself at their table. After a while, Moriyama Chiyu came forward and picked up the wine pot to pour wine for him.
"Qianyu, do you think they will readily accept the conditions I propose?"
Chiyu Moriyama was somewhat uncomfortable with his behavior, and remembered that he had teased her in the same way before, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
"Kiryu, come over for a drink?"
Kiryu Ichiryu sat down.
Xia Chuan asked him the same question, and his answer was completely consistent with his character: "Just kill all those who don't accept it."
The already quiet square suddenly became even quieter.
Xia Chuan could only laugh and shake his head. If this statement were to be spread, he wondered what would happen to the goodwill he had tried so hard to express? However, Kyoto was not a place he was going to run seriously. As long as nothing serious happened, such a misunderstanding would not matter.
The same is true for this shrine.
Xiachuan did not intend to turn it into a stronghold like the Nishiohisa Skeleton Shrine, but only intended to use it as a simple stationed organization. Therefore, he did not intend to let Moriyama Chiyu stay, but planned to choose the best performing one from the eight apprentice shrine maidens who came today to stay.
Their families are all believers of the Kasumigawa Society. Depending on their wishes, their entire family can be arranged to become clergy of this shrine, or apprentice shrine maidens can take turns to stay here for training within a certain period of time.
It is easier to run a shrine with a real god. If the original clergy of the shrine are willing to serve the new god, Xiachuan doesn't mind keeping them to maintain the situation here.
Thinking of this, he simply called Director Takano over and confirmed this matter while drinking. At this time, all the lanterns on Mount Atago suddenly went out.
The one-eyed monk and his men should not arrive so quickly. Xia Chuan guessed that they might have made a phone call with the monsters over there after leaving here.
In a sense, the emergence of the telephone can also be seen as a communication magic that allows everyone to communicate quickly and conveniently, right?
Such a thought made Xiachuan smile and shake his head slightly. It seemed that there was not much point in continuing such a party. But just when he was about to announce the end of the party, he saw Honinji Shoei and Aoyama running back.
