From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

As for magical instruments of this level, according to Long Qingting, the Watchers must have found quite a few from various shrines and temples in Japan. Although it is possible that ordinary people cannot use them, the Watchers directly cut off the possibility of them studying these things and making them generally usable, leaving them with only their flesh and blood to deal with them.

"So, let's go for a walk?" Long Qingting asked. "Tokyo is so big, and Akasaka should be very busy these days. Should we be able to find a few fish that have slipped through the net?"

Chapter 93 Determination

Although it is meaningless to beings of Xiachuan and Long Qingting's level, for Morizen Chiyu, after using the compass, the difficulty of finding evil spirits can be said to have dropped sharply.

However, what surprised her even more was the difficulty of dealing with the evil spirits.

She just waved the strange-looking copper coin sword at the evil spirits, and the resentment of the evil spirits was directly dispersed. What she had to do next was to continue waving the copper coin sword at the resentment that was still trying to gather together. The spiritual energy could no longer gather and dissipated directly into the air.

"She is very talented." Long Qingting whispered to Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan shook his head slightly, concentrating on observing the changes in the spiritual energy inside the copper coin sword, trying to find out the secret.

It was strange. When there was no evil spirit, although the spiritual energy attached to the copper coins could be felt, it was very weak, and it even made people doubt what kind of effect such spiritual energy could play. But at the moment of collision with the evil spirit, it suddenly burst out with a kind of power that Xia Chuan could not understand. It was not spiritual energy, but something that could not be described in words, like the blazing sun, which instantly dissipated the resentment of the evil spirit and broke it into pieces.

"It is said that the copper coins on the copper coin sword are also subject to particular requirements. The Qin Banliang, Han Wuzhu, Tang Kaiyuan Tongbao, Song Yuan Tongbao, and Ming Yongle Tongbao are the best. Among them, the copper coins minted during the most prosperous periods of each dynasty are the best." Long Qingting explained casually.

"What's the secret here?" Xia Chuan asked.

"It is said that it is in line with the Five Virtues and Five Elements, and can borrow the power of the five great dynasties during their heyday. However, I have always felt that it is far-fetched. The capital was destroyed, what else can be borrowed? If copper coins have such power, then why did the dynasty eventually fall?" Long Qingting said. "Do you see anything?"

Xia Chuan shook his head.

What Long Qingting said made sense, but the power he felt did have some characteristics that were similar to willpower, but also obviously different, and completely inexplicable.

"Is there any particular requirement for the arrangement of the copper coins and the way the red thread is tied? If we take it apart and re-weave it, will it still have the same power?" he asked.

"I don't know about that." Long Qingting obviously didn't like to study these details. "It doesn't matter if you take it apart. If you need it, I can go to the Special Fund Office to find another one."

Xia Chuan shook his head.

There are obviously many differences between the Chinese system and the Japanese Shinto system. Some things may be in common, but there are also many things that cannot be borrowed fundamentally.

"Let's go back to the factory first." He said to Long Qingting and Moriyama Qianyu. "There are some things I need to think about carefully."

Long Qingting naturally had no objection, since he was just doing things under the guise of traveling, and the most important thing now was to strengthen the relationship with the Skeleton Society. Moriyama Chiyu also had no objection, because for her, anything related to the mysterious world was something she longed to touch and understand, even if she didn't know the principles, as long as she could take a closer look, it would be meaningful to her.

But just halfway there, Long Qingting's phone rang.

"Huh? Their reaction is so quick this time?" He smiled and shook his head, answered the phone, and then started talking to the other end.

Chiyu Moriyama didn't understand what he was saying, but Natsukawa heard it clearly.

It wasn't that he had forcibly intervened in the fight between the Cheka and the Watchers, but that there had been changes in a case he had handled before, and he needed to rush over to deal with it immediately.

I have never heard of the place name Xiachuan, but the so-and-so island should be somewhere in Southeast Asia.

"Sorry." Long Qingting hung up the phone. "Time is more urgent than I expected, and I have to talk to Natalie, so..."

Xia Chuan expressed his understanding, and Long Qingting took out a thin metal card from his pocket and threw it to him.

"If you need anything, call the number above."

It doesn't look like an ordinary phone number. It should be a secret number used by the Special Management Bureau or Long Qingting personally.

Xia Chuan thought about it, wrote down the address of the secret website that Asakawa Manabu had helped him set up on the blank space of the card, and then broke it off: "If you need to find me, please send an email to this address."

"OK." Long Qingting took the address, read it, and nodded with a smile.

A golden light ignited in his palm, but it was not fire, but some kind of power. The half card quickly dissolved and turned into liquid that dripped onto the ground.

"Well, keep in touch. I hope to hear good news from you soon!"

"You too." Xia Chuan said.

Long Qingting smiled and waved to Moriyama Chiyu, bending his knees slightly. The next moment, he had jumped onto the roof of a nearby house. After a few jumps, he completely disappeared from their sight.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Xia Chuan asked.

After Long Qingting left, he seemed to have no reason to go to the factory with Moriyama Chiyu in the middle of the night to continue studying these things.

Besides, I don't know what's going on with Yui Aoki and Reina Kawaguchi. I let them go in that way before, and now that I have some free time, I have to give them an explanation.

Chiyu Moriyama bit her lip quietly.

"It's okay, I can go back by myself."

"Then be careful on the road." Xia Chuan said. He thought for a moment and threw the copper coin sword to her.

He probably won't be able to use the principle of this thing anymore, at least it can be used to protect Chiyu Moriyama.

"It should be possible to carry it with you as a decoration. You can use it. Thank you for your hard work."

He waved at Chiyu Moriyama and turned to leave. Chiyu Moriyama stood there and watched him walk away and disappear, then turned and left.

Xia Chuan had been thinking about what had happened today, which was more than what had happened in the past month or two. The amount of information he had acquired in the few hours he had spent with Long Qingting was enough to give him a headache.

Will Long Qingting use his ability to secretly observe his actions?

Judging from his performance, that shouldn't be the case. However, Xia Chuan always felt that he was too frank and too enthusiastic, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Is he really just stirring up trouble and making long-term plans for himself, or does he have other plans?

Although he didn't think that Long Qingting would take any action that would be detrimental to him so soon, because that would be meaningless, it would definitely be unsafe to let him know more of his secrets.

Xia Chuan felt that he had to be more cautious in his future actions, and if there was no compelling reason, he should reduce meetings with important tools.

He had no way of knowing whether Long Qingting was able to obtain only image information or whether it also included sound and more, but for now, all he could do was to minimize the possibility of information leakage.

Long Qingting should not be able to see the communication through the magatama. If he can even eavesdrop on this, then he is too terrifying.

He recalled the last time he met Long Qingting near the apartment and thought about a question.

Did he see Yui and Reina? Would he track them?

Was the existence of the sect exposed to him?

Did he notice the relationship between him and them?

At this moment, what is the safest and most appropriate thing to do?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more painful it became. This state finally made Xia Chuan angry.

He was not angry at anyone, but at himself. Especially after seeing Long Qingting's abnormal confidence that no one else could do it, he suddenly felt deeply angry at his own abilities and what he had done in the past.

If I had more power, if I had greater authority, if I knew exactly what I wanted and what I should do, then I would not fall into such anxiety and powerlessness.

Unable to control one's own destiny, not knowing where to go, lacking strong enough faith, always looking ahead and behind, always moving with the wind, that's why one feels uneasy.

Is Long Qingting really that powerful? Maybe not? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to do so much and could just defeat everything. Why would he waste time making friends with me?

But why is he able to believe that he will succeed? Why is he not afraid of the future at all?

Why can't I be like him, not confused, not wavering, and always walking on the path I choose?

Why am I always doubting, fearful, worried, and uneasy?

He made a sudden decision.

Why do I worry about things that haven't happened yet? Why do I fear things that haven't happened yet? Why do I always doubt myself?

Even if he really knew the existence of the sect, even if he really knew the identities of Yui and Reina Kawaguchi, even if he really knew the biggest secret of the Skeleton Society, so what?

As long as I am strong enough, he will not betray me, but will only be my help.

If I were strong enough, it wouldn't be me who should be worried, but him.

I must become strong enough! Not only in strength, but more importantly in heart!

I have to make a change immediately!

Start now.

Chapter 94 Never Changed

"Lord God?!"

When Natsukawa revealed his identity to Kentaro Sato through the magatama, he was very surprised, but he calmed down after a while.

Perhaps to him, God is God, whether He appears in the form of nothingness or in the form of a young man like now, it is just a manifestation of His supreme power. He accepted this fact without any doubt or resistance.

Natsukawa asked him about Yui Aoki's situation. Unlike what Natsukawa had worried about before, in Sato Kentaro's opinion, although she was somewhat surprised, she was not as angry and sad as Natsukawa had worried about. Although she was not calm, after a brief shock, she accepted Kawaguchi Rena's identity and was even a little uneasy when facing her apology.

"She seems to feel that she doesn't deserve such attention and protection," Sato Kentaro guessed. "She's a little scared about it."

"Really?" Xia Chuan sighed slightly in his heart. This was indeed the way Yui thought about things.

"Call her over here, don't disturb us, let me talk to her alone. Also, don't tell her that I was looking for her."

Kentaro Sato left quickly and sent all the believers around him away.

Xia Chuan stood alone in the yard waiting. There were several low garden lights around him. Under the faint but warm light, the yard was not dark, but rather had a hazy beauty.

In the pond next to it, a koi fish accidentally swung its tail, wantonly smashing the mirror-like surface of the water and disturbing the bright moon in it, which could not calm down for a long time.

The footsteps finally appeared and slowly approached this side.

Xia Chuan's mood suddenly became nervous again.

"Aoki-san, right over there, please," said Sato Kentaro's voice.

"Yes." Yui Aoki's voice sounded a little uneasy. She was wearing wooden clogs, which made a clicking sound as she stepped on the gravel road in the courtyard.

Then, she asked in surprise, "Kamiya-san?"

"It's me." Xia Chuan said to her through the magatama, and then returned to his own body's voice. "Yui, I'm sorry, it's me."

Yui Aoki's body froze for a moment. She covered her mouth with both hands and her body trembled slightly. Xia Chuan didn't dare to look at the expression on her face. He could only continue to say as he had planned before: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Natsukawa-kun?" Yui Aoki asked in a tearful voice. "Natsukawa-kun? Is it really you?"

"Yui, I..." Xia Chuan was most afraid of this kind of scene. Even if he had to face Yiyou or the monsters of the Styx Society again, it might be much easier than this.

Just as he was about to continue to say the excuses he had prepared in advance, Yui Aoki suddenly rushed towards him, and he subconsciously reached out and hugged her.

"How could you..." She subconsciously touched his body and sobbed softly in his arms. "There was no news for such a long time, do you know how scared I was?"

"I'm sorry." Xia Chuan felt more and more guilty, but the strange thing was that when he finally touched her body with his, when he finally felt the warmth of her body for the first time, that inexplicable sense of alienation, those unreasonable uneasiness and tension, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Why bother saying those meaningless words?

Wrong is wrong. He should have come to her as soon as he regained consciousness and told her that he was fine and even better than before.

He shouldn't have entertained those meaningless jokes and shouldn't have concealed his identity.

He is Natsukawa, the guardian spirit of Yui Aoki, and it has never changed from the beginning to now.

There shouldn't have been any barriers between them.

Just one sentence is enough.

"sorry Sorry."

Yui Aoki started out sobbing quietly, trying to suppress her sobs, but soon she burst into tears, and finally, she burst into tears.

During the few months when Xia Chuan suddenly disappeared after the explosion, all the worries, anxieties and panics, all the things that he had to endure, hide and insist on in front of others, all the grievances and emotions that were suppressed deep in his heart finally had a place to go and were vented at this moment.

At first she just hugged him, then she clenched her fists and hit him gently, but as Xia Chuan said "I'm sorry" again and again, she stopped and hugged him tightly again.

She didn't ask, and he didn't need to explain any more, until her crying slowly stopped again.

"Yui..." Xiachuan let go of her slightly and wanted to look into her eyes, but she suddenly realized something at this moment. Her entire face, neck, and even her palms became hot and turned red.

"Ah...!" She pushed him away subconsciously, stood up suddenly, covered her cheeks with her hands, and took a few steps back.

"Yui..." Xia Chuan was a little helpless, but she finally couldn't face this scene anymore, so she turned around and ran away in panic.

Xia Chuan felt a little amused, but this result was much better than he had imagined, and he had nothing to complain about.

The rest is left to time.

"Sato." He said to his number one tool man through the magatama.

"Yes, Lord Kami."

"Don't tell anyone about my affairs. Everything should continue as usual and proceed as planned."

"Yes! I completely understand, please don't worry!"
