From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

When Inaba saw her expression, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

"Then, let's talk next time." She immediately said to the others. "Seniors, I'm leaving first."

"Inaba, you must let us have a sneak peek of your project when it comes out!"

"Come on! It's up to you to boost sales."

"Of course." Inaba agreed with a smile. "Everyone, do your best too!"

The two of them left quickly, and when they walked out of the office building where the magazine was located, there were several crows circling in the sky.

"What happened?"

"I don't know yet. Let's get in the car and see."

The two of them walked quickly to the parking lot next door and turned the gate. A tall and feminine man leaned against Mu Yuan's car door. After seeing them, he stood up straight with a smile.

Kimoto immediately blocked Inaba behind him and held the gun in one hand.

The abnormal fluctuation detector did not respond at all.

"No, no, no, two beautiful ladies, I don't have any..."

Mu Yuan suddenly fired a shot, and the man avoided all the bullets with amazing flexibility, his face showing a little surprise.

"Have the newcomers in Akasaka become so rude?" His face became slightly ferocious, and when he spoke, his tongue curled slightly in his mouth, making him look like a snake.

"Run." Kimoto whispered to Inaba Rika while changing the magazine.

"but you……"

"You think..." the man said disdainfully.

"Run!" Kimoto suddenly shouted loudly, and a flash bomb suddenly rolled out and exploded between the two men and the man. The next moment, Kimoto fired several shots at the man, then grabbed Inaba Rika and ran desperately to the other side of the street.

But they hit a transparent wall and bounced back heavily to the ground. The man covered his eyes with one hand and faced them with his other hand open, walking towards them angrily.

"Since you are looking for death..."

Mu Yuan struggled to pounce on the gun that fell to the ground, but the man suddenly jumped up and stepped down hard, deforming the gun.

"Next, I'm going to take you little by little..."

A crow suddenly fell from the sky. The next second, the man turned around suddenly and blocked Xia Chuan's attack from the sky in shock.

Countless cracks appeared in the void. The next second, there was another strong shock in the void. More cracks appeared closer to the man. The man's face changed slightly and he shouted loudly: "Stop! I am not your enemy!"

"That's interesting. Then why did you come here specifically to attack my messenger?" Xia Chuan said with a sneer while floating in the air.

Although I feel a little sorry for Inaba Rika, it is better for her to be targeted than Yui Aoki.

As long as her identity as the "Messenger of the Skeleton Society" is confirmed and her safety is guaranteed, both Akasaka and the guy in front of him will continue to focus on her and will not notice the relationship between an ordinary high school girl and the Skeleton Society.

The previous two attacks had actually consumed most of the spiritual power carried by this crow, and the other four were still rushing here, so he had to stop temporarily. Fortunately, the two attacks seemed to have made the guy in front of him have the illusion that "this guy is not easy to mess with."

"It's just a misunderstanding. Since we couldn't find any information about you or a way to contact you, we had to do the next best thing. Now there's obviously no need to bother them anymore."

"Misunderstanding? Was the matter in Otowa Town also a misunderstanding?"

"Otowa?" The man showed a look of astonishment on his face. "What happened over there? Sorry, my mission is just to get Miss Inaba back. I have no idea what you are talking about. But I can guarantee that if something really happened, it has nothing to do with us."

"you?"

"We are a loose association of monsters hidden in the Tokyo underworld. Our leader is very interested in your story and hopes to talk to you. He should be happy to answer any questions you have. Of course, we also hope that you can share some information with us. You can do it at any place and time you want, as long as you don't see those annoying faces of Akasaka."

Kimoto and Inaba didn't understand what was happening, and couldn't see Natsukawa. They could only see the man looking up at the void, talking incessantly but without any sound.

Kimoto gently pushed Inaba Rika, and the two of them began to quietly crawl out of the parking lot.

Xia Chuan and the man actually saw their actions, but at this point, they were no longer important.

"Give me a phone number," Xia Chuan finally said. "To show your sincerity, I hope to hear an explanation about the Otowa Town incident as soon as possible."

"No problem." The man nodded, took out a business card and threw it to Xia Chuan tentatively.

He controlled the crow to pick it up from the air and flapped its wings to fly into the sky.

The sky will be clear, be careful.

Testimonials

Dear readers, this book will be available tomorrow. The update time of the first chapter will be delayed to 10:30, and then it will be updated normally.

Actually, I didn’t expect it to be on the shelves so soon. When the editor notified me, I was a little confused.

This is probably the fastest time a book has been put on the shelves in all the years I have been writing.

I have thought about slowing down the update speed (e.g., two updates of 4,000 words per day) to see if I can get one or two recommendations, increase exposure, and put it on the shelves after getting more collections. But later I thought that if I slowed down the update speed, the data would probably look a little better, but it would be unfair to the readers who are following the update, and it would also seem like I was finding an excuse to be a slacker, so I will continue to update and put it on the shelves like this.

Thank you very much to the HedgehogCat platform and my editor Orange.

Like before, this book is about something completely different from the previous one.

If I have to say, it would probably be that this book has a similar worldview to another supernatural story I wrote many years ago, but the stage has been moved to Tokyo, Japan, and the perspective and entry point have completely changed.

In short, this is another brand new attempt.

The pace may be a bit slow, but I personally quite enjoy the feeling of telling a story, showing the world I have built little by little in this way, trying my best to tell the stories of the people living in this world with a more realistic touch, and perfecting the details little by little. I feel a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

After slowly completing a 1.7 million-word essay, to be honest, I feel like I have finally regained the desire and joy of storytelling, so this book has a completely different meaning to me.

I hope this story can bring you a little different kind of fun. After reading it, you will be able to smile knowingly and want to recommend it to your friends.

I won’t play the victim, nor do I think the relationship between the author and the reader should be strengthened by playing the victim.

I just hope that all friends who think this book is worth reading can place a first order tomorrow.

Whether the results are good or bad will not change my determination to write this book seriously, but better results will definitely give me greater support, encouragement and confidence, allowing me to focus more on building this world and bring better stories to everyone.

Thank you!

Chapter 220 The Priestesses' First Battle

"What do these guys do? They're crazy to be dressed like this, right?"

"Who called them here?"

The Akasaka member in charge of the scene immediately went over to prevent the group of people wearing strange masks from entering the scene, but Kimoto and Tachibana quickly stopped them.

"They are members of the Skeleton Society, and the headquarters wants to test their abilities." Mu Yuan said. "They will take over here temporarily. Everyone should retreat outside the safety line and wait for the results."

"We can't accept this kind of order! Tachibana, you are also from Akasaka, right? Can you accept such a guy messing around in your territory?"

"Senior, there's no need to get upset over this. The main office should have its own considerations." Tachibana Hirokazu happened to know this person and had worked with him before, so he could only smile. "Isn't it good to have someone take care of your troublesome things? Senior, take a break and see what they can do?"

"We are ready for action, and now you want us to withdraw? Is this how you do things?"

"It's troublesome to always let Tepco take the blame. Senior, can you give them a break once in a while?"

The phone suddenly rang at this moment. The other party looked at the caller, looked at the two of them, and finally walked aside to answer the phone.

He seemed to have argued with the person on the other end of the phone for a few words, but eventually walked back angrily.

"Let them in, everyone, retreat to the safety line!" He said loudly to the people, and then lowered his voice to Tachibana Hirokazu and Kimoto: "Don't forget your identity!"

Daisuke Sasaki was the first to walk towards the house, but he was quickly grabbed from behind by Aoshima, leaving Inaba to walk ahead.

"Senior, there are so many people watching, please give me some face!" Sasaki said unwillingly.

"Face? Do you want to live?" Qingdao punched him hard from behind, making him almost scream in pain.

Nomiya Wakana shook her head, walked past them, and followed Inaba Rika into the house.

"Do you feel anything?" asked Rika Inaba.

She was just a tool with false abilities. In fact, even now she couldn't feel that she really possessed any power. Every time she swung at a target, her heart was always filled with doubt and uneasiness.

Is that really the power I borrowed?

This mask may not have much meaning, but for her, it allows her to no longer have to pretend to be strong.

"It's a bit eerie." said Nomiya Wakana.

In fact, she was a complete rookie. The experience she gained from the previous exorcisms was more of a misleading and burden than a wealth. This was why Xia Chuan wanted her to start accumulating experience all over again.

Of course, Natsukawa was right beside them, and he had even seen the evil spirit huddled in a corner of the room observing them, but he decided not to take action or show up until it was absolutely necessary, just to see what Nomiya Wakana could do on her own.

Aoshima and Sasaki Daisuke also walked in at this time, and soon after, Kimoto and Tachibana Koichi also walked in.

They were a little uneasy. Unlike the rookies before them, they had experienced such scenarios many times and knew the dangers they might face.

If they had not personally experienced several incidents involving the Skeleton Society before and knew their capabilities, they would never have set foot in such a scene before the robots and EMP entered.

"Is this house so cold?" Sasaki Daisuke asked in a low voice as he walked in. "Did you find that thing?"

"It won't be that fast." Nomiya Wakana rolled her eyes at him through her mask. "Anyway, let's ask for God's help first."

Qingdao and Sasaki immediately spread out the carpet with the formation drawn on it, and Nomiya Wakana stood on it and chanted and danced the "Hinoki Dance". She didn't know how many times she had practiced this song, and she would not make mistakes even when she was disturbed. Xiachuan was already very familiar with her calls and requests, and immediately re-traveled through the mirror of the Skeleton Shrine and gave her some of his power.

But out of consideration for the test of Nomiya Wakana, he did not appear in front of her, but hid in the amulet on her chest as soon as he came through.

Suddenly, there was a faint light in the gloomy room, and the biting cold feeling seemed to be dispelled immediately. In fact, the people present had seen the effect of her dance at the Skeleton Shrine before, but they could not appreciate such an effect at that time.

Nomiya Wakana, who had obtained the power granted by God, soon saw the dark shadow lurking near the stove, which made her a little nervous.

But as the direct descendant of the Yanaka Bones Shrine and the first generation shrine maiden of the Edo Nomiya family, how could she make a fool of herself in her first exorcism ceremony?

She quickly began to dance the "Sakura Dance". At this time, the evil spirit that was originally observing them also felt the threat. It jumped out from its previous hiding place, screaming, and rushed directly towards Nomiya Wakana viciously.

No one else could see the black shadow, nor could they hear the sound, but Nomiya Wakana heard the scream of the evil spirit for the first time in her life. She hurriedly tried to speed up her dance, but saw that the black shadow was about to pounce in front of her. There was no time to finish the dance. The fear of death made her unable to control her fear. Her mind went blank and she screamed subconsciously.

People didn't know what was happening, but Inaba Rika still managed to mutter the name of Mukuroki in her mind and swung a powerful attack in that direction. Natsukawa sighed, grabbed the evil spirit and swallowed it directly.

After all, Inaba Rika has experienced some things, so she is still reliable. Unfortunately, she does not have the talent to become a shrine maiden.

Nomiya Wakana... needs to exercise more.

"What happened just now?" Daisuke Sasaki only reacted at this time and saw that Kimoto had already helped Nomiya Wakana up from the ground.

"Lord Hailin, I..." The power had not been taken back yet, which allowed Nomiya Wakana to see Natsukawa's divine body. She was a little at a loss, and more of a shame.

"It's okay. It's great to be able to do this for the first time." Xia Chuan said reluctantly. "Reflect on it after you go back and see where you should improve and where you should work hard."

"Yes..." With the encouragement from the God, Nomiya Wakana's anxiety finally eased a little. "I will definitely work harder!"

#####

"Prince Kamo, you just stay here." Kawaguchi Rena said in a low voice.

The shopping mall is full of ghosts late at night. Such a place is scary enough even if there are no evil spirits.

"Reina, don't force yourself." said Sato Kentaro.

"It's okay, God will protect me." Kawaguchi Rena tried her best to overcome her inner fear. Under the mask, her voice trembled slightly, but was firm.

"Then be careful." Sato Kentaro nodded and said.

Xia Chuan looked at her silently.

Not long after she walked out, she began to draw a magic circle on the ground and began to summon his arrival with the "Hinoki Dance".

He gave her power in the same way as during the day, and then quickly hid in the amulet on her chest.

Kawaguchi Rena did not rush forward, but danced the "Maple Dance" again, praying to Natsukawa for protection and good luck, before stepping out of the magic circle and walking upstairs.

This evil spirit was not as strong as the one during the day. After all, it had not yet developed to the point where it attracted Akasaka's attention. However, the legend about it had spread among customers and mall employees, and began to increase its power.

It was probably only a matter of time before Akasaka discovered him.

Kawaguchi Rena quickly walked to the women's clothing area where the cat was said to be located, and began to carefully look for its trace.

In fact, Xia Chuan had already seen him. He was quietly hiding in the body of a puppet model, secretly spying on this intruder who was shining with dazzling light to the spirit.

But Kawaguchi Rena failed to find him. However, she was not discouraged, but continued to search carefully in the women's clothing area.

The evil spirit finally couldn't help but start to act. A puppet model suddenly fell down, and he quickly moved to another puppet and continued to spy on Kawaguchi Rena's actions.

She paused for a moment, and then she started dancing the "Maple Dance" again.

Shadows of red leaves began to appear around her, protecting her entire body. Then, she immediately began to dance the "Sakura Dance". Light began to gather around her body, gradually dispelling the darkness around her.
