From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

M chuckled. She didn't believe what Mu Yuan said, but she always liked her attitude.

She looked around and didn't see any small animals like crows, nor any spirits, so she asked, "Have you seen that Skeleton?"

"No." Mu Yuan replied.

"He never showed up once?" M's eyebrows twitched. "He also didn't show up when the Styx launched a strong attack on them before?"

"To be honest, I can't tell the difference between Kaiju and Kairin. Kaiju's messenger is a crow that sends messages through Inaba, while Kairin is a mouse that sends messages through Nomiya. For me, that's the only difference."

"So, Inaba is the shrine maiden of Haibi, and the three sisters are the shrine maidens of Hailin?"

Mu Yuan nodded.

"Is Hailin more powerful than Haizhai? Who has a higher status between the two of them?"

"We haven't really noticed this, and we haven't had a chance to compare," Mu Yuan replied. "But if we judge by the power of the witch, maybe Hailin's power is stronger?"

"What about his personality? Compared to Mukuroki, how does he treat Akasaka and humans?"

"He rarely shows up at the Corpse Agency, and usually only shows up at the shrine," Kimoto replied. "I have very few opportunities to come into contact with him."

"You've been here with them for several months? What have you gained?" M continued to ask casually.

"Harvest?" Mu Yuanzhen didn't know what to say. "I don't know."

Whether from a personal perspective or from Akasaka's perspective, there seems to be no progress during this time as a liaison to the Corpse Agency.

She was not smarter, or better able to deal with aliens, nor was she able to find out more information about the Skeleton Society.

But she couldn't say that she had gained nothing. Before Nomiya Kana took charge, they had solved many unusual incidents together, with much higher efficiency and effect than her previous actions, and thus helped more people. Moreover, she knew more about the so-called gods and shrine maidens than other Akasaka members, and had a good relationship with them. However, under the current circumstances, these experiences and relationships seemed to have no value.

"Have Haizhi and the others really never appeared once in the past few months?"

"I don't think so." Mu Yuan replied.

Nomiya Kana and Nomiya Misa might hide the truth, but Nomiya Wakana is almost innocent, and if the Skeleton had ever appeared, it would have been obvious from her.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Inaba Rika, it didn't seem like she was hiding anything.

"Aren't you here to resolve the Odaiba issue this time?" The series of questions made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she asked back cautiously.

"Of course it's for that!" M replied. "But I don't have a chance to exert my strength yet. I have to wait anyway. At least I can chat with you guys while waiting here. Do you want me to go to the helicopter cabin and face those stinky men?"

"Tell me about the attack," she said excitedly. "I read the relevant information on the way here, but the records are too stereotyped and not interesting at all. Did you experience the entire attack of the Styx Society on the Skeleton Organization? What was it like? What happened? What happened to the Skeleton Society? It doesn't matter, there should be plenty of time, just tell me in detail!"

Chapter 60 Gift

Although M looks good, his personality is really disgusting!

The bell for the last class of the morning finally rang. Xia Chuan withdrew his mind from the Skeleton Shrine, raised his head slightly to Moriyama Chiyu, and motioned her to go to the rooftop.

Many people in the class have already believed that the two of them are dating, and Xia Chuan is too lazy to clarify one by one.

The more you talk about this kind of thing, the more interested others will become. It's better to just ignore it.

When the two of them went up, there were not many people on the rooftop. Xiachuan called Moriyama Chiyu to the place farthest from the entrance and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what happened?"

Chiyu Moriyama shook her head, a little uneasy on her face.

In fact, everyone was in a trance the whole morning; even the teachers were uneasy.

Although abnormal incidents occurred frequently, Tokyo was still a city with good public security due to the efforts of Akasaka and various government departments to cover them up. However, many people heard the gunshots last night, which made people even more uneasy.

"Do you know what's going on in Odaiba?"

Chiyu Moriyama still shook her head.

This is also a common situation among Japanese islanders. They simply won't pay attention to things that they are not interested in. This is especially true among high school students. Their attention to things like politics and current affairs is definitely not as high as that to idols and popular trends.

If the scene last night hadn't been so shocking, they might not have cared at all.

"Someone released a vicious spirit at a large event, causing serious casualties, many of whom were foreigners." Xiachuan tried his best to tell Chiyu Moriyama what happened in a way that she could understand. "This incident has triggered a serious chain reaction. The Akasaka people are searching for abnormal creatures everywhere. The commotion last night was caused by a monster trying to escape after being discovered by them."

"Then...they?" Chisuke Moriyama has always lived in the human world as a human being and accepted the three views of humans. It is really difficult for her to regard herself as a monster, but the warning in Natsukawa's words is already very obvious.

Many times, your identity is not determined by you.

"They should all be dead." Xia Chuan said. "Besides that notebook, have you received any other guidance?"

Chiyu Moriyama shook her head.

Things were a bit awkward. If Chiyu Moriyama really lived like a loser according to her family's expectations, the monster bloodline in her body would probably be difficult to stimulate, and there would be no danger of being discovered by Akasaka. But she desperately wanted to prove herself, and according to her own ideas, she trained almost pathologically for several years, and finally really stimulated the power of her bloodline... but only a small part.

There would be no difference for ordinary people, and Chiyu Moriyama did not suddenly develop inhuman physiological characteristics because of this, but the problem is that a guy like Natsukawa who possesses powerful spiritual power can easily distinguish her from ordinary people.

When Akasaka comes to visit, will he notice that she is different?

Xia Chuan didn't want to take such a risk.

The relationship between the two was neither close nor distant, but Xia Chuan had just received something very useful from her, and he also secretly promised to protect her, so he would not just watch her rely on her own luck to get through this difficult time.

Chiyu Moriyama obviously had not learned the spell to hide herself, so Natsukawa had to take out the magatama that he had made last night when he was discussing things with Sato and others.

Unlike other magatama, this one does not contain much spiritual power and its appearance is completely different. It is specially made into the style of a necklace that high school girls often wear. The key is that Xiachuan has attached a concealment technique to it.

This was also inspired by the notebook that Chiyu Moriyama gave him to read.

Other spells might not be so easy, but the magatama that Xiachuan gave to others had the function of concealing their aura. Xiachuan spent some time figuring out the mystery and finally completed this experiment.

As for the effect, you can only know it by wearing it.

Chiyu Moriyama was stunned for a moment, and her face actually turned slightly red.

"This is the amulet I got by chance, it should help you hide your aura." Xia Chuan said. "You must keep a low profile during this period, and don't do anything that is inconsistent with your identity as an ordinary high school girl!"

This sentence reminded Chiyu Moriyama of the joke he had been playing. She was about to roll her eyes at him, but looking at the amulet in her hand, her mood suddenly became complicated.

This was the first time she had received a gift in seventeen years.

"Thank you." She sighed quietly.

"You said you two are not dating!" At this time, someone from the rooftop gate said loudly.

Several girls in the class came over, including Ichikawa Ami. They looked at Xiachuan with a playful look, as if to say: We've caught you since you kept denying it, right?

Girls seem to become very excited when encountering such things, and even Chiyu Moriyama's reputation as a villain is temporarily forgotten.

However, it is also possible that in their eyes, Chisuke Moriyama who is dating Hiroshi Kamiya is no longer the same as before.

"What a beautiful necklace! What brand is it?" One of the girls said with a smile, reaching out to take the amulet from Moriyama Chiyu to have a look, but she was pushed lightly by her and almost fell on the others.

The scene was a bit awkward. As expected, Chisuke Moriyama would only be a little normal when facing Hiroshi Kamiya?

"Go buy something to eat first." Xia Chuan had no choice but to say.

Chisuke Moriyama doesn't know how to make bento. Like him, she buys bread and other things to solve the lunch problem every day.

She nodded slightly to Xiachuan, raised her hand slightly that was holding the amulet, turned and left, and soon disappeared from people's sight.

"Hmph!" The girl who was pushed away by her felt her face getting hot at this moment, and said with shame and anger. "I thought she would be more feminine, but she's still the same! Kamiya-kun, what do you like about her?!"

"That's right!" Several girls started talking at once.

"I don't like her." Xia Chuan sighed.

"I've already given you such a beautiful gift, and you're still saying no? Besides, her attitude towards you, Kamiya-kun, is completely different from that towards others. She'll do whatever you ask her to do. If we weren't dating, this wouldn't be possible, right?"

"Is it because she confessed to you, Kamiya-kun? It's so unfair! I would have confessed to her if I had known!"

Their chattering was really overwhelming for Xia Chuan. Although being surrounded by a group of girls was quite interesting at certain times, it was definitely not at this time.

"Sorry, sorry, I suddenly remembered something else..."

"Are you thinking of escaping now? Aren't you Kamiya-kun too cunning?" The girls didn't buy it. Fortunately, Ichikawa Ami rescued him, and he was finally able to escape from the encirclement of a group of ducks.

"Kamiya-kun." But when Xiachuan was about to escape, she suddenly called him again.

"Eh?"

"When you give a necklace to a girl, you have to put it on her personally!" Ichikawa Ami said meaningfully.

Xia Chuan could only sigh and raised his right hand to wave at them.

Chapter 61 Puppet

When I saw Moriyama Chisuke again, she was already wearing the magatama given by Natsukawa, and the effect was unexpectedly good. If he didn't know her true identity, even Natsukawa himself couldn't tell any difference between her and ordinary girls.

There should be no problem.

Chiyu Moriyama was holding a piece of milk and bread that was obviously bought for him. Xia Chuan took it from her without hesitation and asked while eating, "How do you feel?"

"It's a bit... strange." said Chiyu Moriyama.

After putting it on, she vaguely felt something different, but she couldn't tell what was different.

"That's right." Xia Chuan smiled casually and started walking towards the activity room of the Victory Club. Chiyu Moriyama hesitated for a moment and followed silently behind.

From an outsider's perspective, the relationship between the two is indeed quite suspicious.

The first years had already arrived at the activity room, but they were not playing games. Instead, they were fiddling with other things.

Seeing Natsukawa and Moriyama Chiyu coming over, they all felt a little awkward, but their relationship had become much more familiar because of that Chuunibyou battle. At least, Moriyama Chiyu was no longer as cold to them as before.

"What are you doing?" Xia Chuan asked. "Robots?"

"This new model was just released last weekend," one of the staff members explained.

Losers are losers. Although they suddenly felt that the game had become boring, they were still unwilling to learn and simply bought a few sets of robot figures to play with.

The public security issue had nothing to do with them. They were all in school anyway, and terrorists couldn't just burst into the school and start shooting randomly. The worst that could happen was that they could just go home earlier and not get delayed on the way.

Xia Chuan didn't say anything, but took the parts they had assembled and studied them casually, and found that the models they bought were very cleverly designed. Of course, there was no power and transmission structure, but the joints and other parts were very flexible, and almost all the movements that ordinary people could do could be performed.

"Interesting." He couldn't help but say.

After gaining a physical body, one of the new magics he learned was puppetry. But at that time, the wooden figures randomly assembled from materials from abandoned factories were useless. They moved slowly and sluggishly, and were even too heavy to be used as targets.

However, what would the effect be if it was a wooden or even iron man made in the same way as the models we see today?

"Are there any bigger models?" Xia Chuan couldn't help but ask. "This thing looks interesting, let's buy a few more to play with!"

Since he was willing to pay, the freshmen naturally had no objection.

But that’s for the weekend.

Chiyu Moriyama was a little bored. She had no interest in this thing at all. After standing for a while, she turned on the TV and game console and started practicing again.

What Xia Chuan said to her was mostly bluffing, but after adjusting her fighting skills with the game as a reference, her mind was indeed opened up a lot.

Just like Xia Chuan said, the fighting techniques she had learned before were designed based on the normality and limits of human beings. Although most games did not consider rationality, but only considered fun and dazzling, some of them were indeed something she could try as a half-demon. Especially those hardcore action games, although the action designs in them also had a lot of fantasy elements, most of the actions were in line with the laws of physics and action logic, and many attack methods could be used for reference.

Xia Chuan's skills were too poor, and he was too embarrassed to challenge her to a duel, so he simply ran to the sofa and took a nap while checking what was going on at the Skeleton Shrine.

The shrine maidens and members of the Corpse Agency are all at the shrine, which means M is still hanging around in their office.

Xia Chuan then distracted his attention to the crows around him. The police checkpoints were still there, and the Akasaka members were also using instruments to check people and vehicles coming in and out. However, in Xia Chuan's opinion, the machine was not very useful. They were actually trying to scare the monsters by taking advantage of the monsters' weak self-control and their tendency to go berserk under high pressure to force them to reveal their flaws.

But the price of doing so is that frontline personnel must face tremendous pressure at all times. No one knows whether the seemingly harmless civilians in front of them will suddenly turn into monsters and drag them into hell.

They don’t last long.

Xia Chuan made a judgment immediately.

He didn't know how many people Tokyo Watch and Akasaka had mobilized this time, but based on the area he could see, they had probably put all the forces they could into it.

But it is obvious that there are far from enough people.

They also need to set up checkpoints at major roads in and out of Tokyo, as well as at airports, train stations and other transportation hubs, and send people to check all kinds of houses door to door. The current manpower is simply not enough. Even if they all turned into robots, did not eat, drink or sleep, did not feel fear or fatigue, it would still be far from enough.

Not to mention the adverse effects caused by Tokyo, as the capital of Japan and an international metropolis, taking such measures.

It is not known whether imports and exports will be affected, but the stock market will most likely fall sharply.

If this continues for a week, the major financial groups will jump out to cause trouble without the Styx doing anything else. If this continues for a month, Japan will collapse.

It is said that more than half of the capital behind them is from the United States.

What does the safety of Tokyo have to do with Americans? Why should Americans pay for the lives of Japanese people?

Xiachuan feels that the current actions of Tokyo Watch and Akasaka are more like an attitude of "no one can do anything when something goes wrong, but I have tried so hard, how can it be blamed on me?"
