The next day-
The sky brightened slightly. Many people were still looking at the sky in the direction of Mount Fuji after they left the house. When they saw that everything was normal, they heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, what happened yesterday was enough for countless people to remember for the rest of their lives.
It was extremely difficult to forget that doomsday scene. Many people tossed and turned last night, as if they could not help but think of that terrifying doomsday scene when they closed their eyes.
To ordinary people-
The matter had already passed, and what was left was only a shocking and profound memory.
However, for the Onmyojis, last night was a sleepless night. The scene of Mount Fuji's eruption was only a sign of the true apocalypse and natural disaster. It would completely descend in three months. At that time, a war and natural disaster that involved all humans would be completely unavoidable.
The only time they could enjoy peace and quiet was in these three short months.
In contrast, ordinary people could still enjoy this peaceful time without any restrictions. Onmyojis needed to prepare for battle quickly. The first thing they needed to do was to resolve the supernatural incidents in their respective regions as soon as possible. Many Onmyojis of the Supernatural Law Firm headed straight to their respective regions 'official and Yin-Yang Hall branches or Yin-Yang Union branches as soon as they left their homes, ready to take over the authority of the Yin-Yang Dao in their respective regions. Of course, this required a supernatural agency like the White Fox Agency with Level 1 clearance.
……
In the White Fox Firm.
"Chief, Qiong, I'm going out."
As usual, Iwanaga Kotoko wore a white dress, a beret, and a cane. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family. She greeted Yuanyumo and Kasugano Dome before leaving.
"Be careful, Sister Kotomi."
Kasugano said.
"I will."
Kotoko Ikenaga waved her hand.
This time, not only did she go out to investigate information about " Masayoshi Kuda," she also went to the Yin Yang Hall branch in Shibuya District to take over the authority of the Yin Yang Sect in the area, just like the other Level 1 Paranormal Firms in other regions.
After Iwanaga Kotoko closed the door and left…
Yuan, who was sitting in her office chair, silently took stock of the commissions he had accepted and the supernatural incidents in Shibuya District.
The incident of eating humans and the incident of strange wood spirits were two supernatural events.
As for the supernatural incidents that had occurred in Shibuya District, thanks to Kotomi Iwanaga and Dome Kasugano, they had all been dealt with.
"In that case, we only need to solve these two supernatural incidents at hand to complete the requirements of the Yin Yang Hall.”
"There are two supernatural events. Let's focus on the bizarre wood ghost incident first.”
Yuan made up her mind. Of course, just like what she had said before, she would not stop the matter of the victims eating humans for the time being. She would still let Kasugami Wild Dome continue to investigate for clues and clues, looking for any similarities that she had not discovered among the victims.
"Qiong, you stay behind at the White Fox Firm. I'll go and investigate where the Wood Ghosts appear.”
This was because the monsters that had eaten humans only appeared after night fell. Kasugano Dome's investigations were usually carried out during the night. There was nothing they could do about it. No one knew when they would suddenly attack humans. They were like rats in the sewers.
" Reconnaissance?!"
Kasugano Dome was stunned when he heard Yuan's words.
Didn't the director personally say that there was no need to specially investigate the location where the evil wood spirits were found? Even the two locations that Sister Kotomi had specially sealed off and preserved had been dealt with by the Yin Yang Hall branch.
Now…?
Yuan seemed to have seen through the doubts in Kasugano Dome's heart.
"I'm not investigating the interior of the Strange Wood Demon's crime scene. I'm investigating its geographical location and coordinates with my own eyes. Everything has a special pattern. The person who planted the branch of the Strange Wood Demon would not randomly plant it. He must have followed some requirements or patterns. It might be a requirement for the number of humans in the place where it was planted, or it might be a special location…As for what it is, I just have to see it with my own eyes. I have to see the reality with my own eyes. It's far more accurate than data and intelligence, and it's more likely to discover any differences…"
Yuan explained.
Kasugano Dome nodded, indicating that he understood.
Immediately-
Yuanyumo took out the new talisman that Kotoko Iwanaga had drawn for him recently.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of crisp knocks sounded on the door.
Yuan was stunned. There were already guests at this hour. Could it be that a new supernatural event had broken out in Shibuya? However, he did not notice that Kasugano Dome's expression had changed slightly.
"Please come in!"
The person who opened the door was a young girl with long black hair and bright red eyes. She had a cute face, fair skin, and a moving beauty. She had a noble and cold temperament, which completely matched the image of a slim and elegant young lady in the hearts of many men.
However-
When Kasugano Dome saw the person who had entered, he could not help but sigh. The thing that Sister Kotoko was worried about was about to happen.
It was Teruya Yamiya, who had been marked by Shutendoji.
"Nice to meet you, Chief White Fox. I'm Teruya Yamiya.”
Four Palaces Bright Night?
Yuan looked at the girl in front of her. She had heard of this name before.
The eldest daughter of the Nihon Shiomiya Conglomerate, the eldest daughter of the CEO Shiomiya Goan, was a genuine rich young lady. She had the aura of a ghost marking her body. Moreover, he " coincidentally " recognized the ghost marking Teruya Shiomiya. It seemed that her purpose was to carry out a commission.
"Hello, Miss Bright Night, please take a seat."
Yuanyumo guided Teruya to sit on the sofa while Dome Kasugano prepared a cup of coffee for him.
Teruya Yitomiya looked at the inferior instant coffee in front of him as usual, but he did not mind. Instead, he took a sip elegantly and bluntly stated his purpose for coming.
"Director White Fox, I'm here to complete the mission that I didn't complete last time.”
" An unfinished commission?!"
Yuan was slightly puzzled.
"Director, when you went to the Earth Imperial Sect to borrow the 'Strategic Decision', Miss Bright Night wanted to issue a commission to our White Fox Firm. However, because you weren't around at that time, Sister Kotomi and I didn't dare to make a decision on our own.”
Kasugano quickly explained to Yuan.
Not here? He didn't dare to make a decision on his own?
When Yuanyumo thought of the mark on Samiya Teruya's body, she felt relieved. She also recognized the source of the mark when she saw Kotoko Ishinaga.
As for why Kotomi didn't report to him…
He probably didn't want him to accept the commission from the Four Palace Bright Night. That made sense…the Strange Wood Charm incident only involved a big demon, and it was only possible that he would become an enemy of the big demon. However, if he interfered with the supernatural incident that happened to the Four Palace Bright Night, he would definitely encounter a big demon, and it might not even be as simple as an ordinary big demon.
"Little Qin, are you not here today?"
Teruyuki looked around but did not find that familiar figure.
"Kotomi has appeared to investigate the supernatural. Miss Radiant Night and Kotomi know each other.”
Yuan did not hide anything and said casually.
"Our Four Palace Conglomerate and the Kotoko family have many business dealings. We have known each other since we were young.”
Teruya Yitomiya elegantly put down the steaming coffee cup in her hand and answered truthfully.
"This time, I came here in the hope that the White Fox Chief would accept my request and help me resolve the supernatural incident.”
After saying that, Teruya Simiya took off his coat without any hesitation, revealing his fair and jade-like arm. What was shocking was that there was a birthmark of a red evil ghost's head on his white, lotus-like arm. It looked ferocious and terrifying.
Kasugano Dome covered his mouth slightly.
This was the first time she had seen such a mark. It was unlike the mark planted by ordinary ghosts, which was very hidden. Unless it was a Onmyoji, ordinary people would not be able to detect it with their naked eyes. However, the red evil spirit head mark on the arm of Teruya Shizamiya seemed to be declaring its sovereignty unscrupulously, declaring that this prey belonged to it alone. Anyone who dared to touch its food had to be prepared to die, whether it was a ghost or a Onmyoji.
"This guy is as overbearing as ever.”
Yuan thought to herself.
At the same time, he carefully observed the mark on the arm of the Fourth Palace Bright Night. It was as if it was alive. It was actually trying to cover the entire arm at a speed that was impossible to be observed by the naked eye.
Based on the current time.
In just seven days, Bright Night's entire arm would be completely covered by the red demon's head. At that time, it would be time for that guy to hunt.
"Shutendoji, I didn't expect you to run into it, Miss Teruya.”
Yuan said indifferently.
Instantly, a glint flashed across Teruya's eyes. He then put on his coat again.
"As expected, I didn't come to the wrong place. The White Fox's strength is extraordinary, and I could tell at a glance.”
If the White Fox Minamoto, whom Haruka Shizuka had high hopes for, could not even tell the source of the mark on her body, then it could only be said that Haruka Shizuka had misjudged her. At the same time, it also meant that the hope of the two of them was getting smaller and smaller.
" Nothing…" Yuan waved her hand and said,""I'm just more familiar with it, especially its aura.”
This familiarity naturally did not come from Yuan, but from the memories and experiences of the system's advancement.
During the Heian Era a thousand years ago-
Shutendoji often snuck into the capital, seducing young girls and taking them away as food. Back then," he " led the Yin-Yang Masters of the Yin-Yang Agency and had more than once come into contact with Shutendoji.
However, Shutendoji was extremely powerful. Even with the protection of the two ghosts and the combined efforts of the many Onmyoji, he was still able to defeat the enemy.
'He' had too many dangerous situations to survive.
It was one of the few existences that could pose a fatal threat to him in his youth.
……
"I wonder if you can help me deal with Shutendoji.”
Teruya asked nervously.
"Miss Bright Night, do you think that with my strength, I'm really a match for the Great River Mountain Ghost King?”
Yuan replied.
It was important for people to know their own limits. He was not the kind of fool who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Shutendoji, the famous Ghost King of the Great River Mountain…
In Japanese ghost legends, it was a great monster that was as famous as the Otengu and Tamamo Mae.
There was still quite a big gap between demons. Three national-level Onmyojis were enough to fight against ordinary demons, but Orochi was also a demon. It required the entire Yin Yang Path to be mobilized. The outcome was still uncertain.
Although Shutendoji's strength was not that heaven-defying, it was definitely far superior to ordinary great demons.
Even the 'him' in the thousand-year-old memories was no match for him, and it was also impossible for the current him.
Even if he used all his trump cards-
Even if he released the Ghost in Front, Ghost in Back, and Big Dipper, he would only be able to resist Shutendoji for a moment at most. It would be a fool's dream to get rid of him.
Instantly-
Teruya Shitomiya's face turned pale. His last bit of hope had been negated.
If one were to think rationally, this was indeed the case. The White Fox Source had only just outlined the framework of the Yin Yang Path, so how could she be a match for Shutendoji? Previously, she and Shizuya had thought too much of it as a matter of course. The existence that " she " feared might be something else. Shizuya's guess might have been wrong from the beginning.
On the other hand, Kasugano Dome heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Yuan was rejecting him.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore. I'll take my leave.”
Teruya Simiya took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before standing up.
What he should do now was to quickly find other helpers, but who else could he find?!! Most of the national-level Onmyojis who returned from the Mount Fuji incident were severely injured, so they did not have the strength to deal with Shutendoji. The remaining Supernatural Affairs Firm, like White Fox Minamoto, rejected Shutendoji immediately after learning that it was Shutendoji.
Only a few Onmyojis could give it a try out of respect for the Four Palace Conglomerate, but it was already evident.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became…
At this moment…
Suddenly, she heard Yuan say,"Miss Hui Ye, you don't have to be in such a hurry to leave."”
Bright Night was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and quickly asked,"Could it be that Chief White Fox has thought of a way to get rid of Shutendoji?”
Yuan shook her head and smiled bitterly.""Miss Bright Night, even if we were to bring the Twelve Divine Generals here in their peak condition, we would only have a 50 - 50 chance of winning Shutendoji.”
Teruya Shimiya's face darkened once again.
Five of the Twelve Divine Generals in the Yin Yang Hall had already died. Even if they hadn't died, it didn't seem realistic to invite all of them over. At the very least, the Four Palace Conglomerate wasn't that powerful.
"Ms. Teruya, you've actually made a mistake. The supernatural event you encountered is indeed related to Shutendoji, but it doesn't mean that you need to kill Shutendoji to deal with the supernatural event on you.”
Bright Night was startled and quickly said,"I'm willing to hear the details."
" During the Heian Era a thousand years ago, Shutendoji often barged into the capital and wantonly snatched away unmarried girls as food. However, after it became the Great River Ghost King, it would regularly spread some random marks like seeds, making it automatically find its target. The unlucky ones were like Miss Teruya, who was chosen to be a sacrifice. However, other than a very few sacrifices that satisfied it and would personally do it, the rest of the tasks of snatching girls were handed over to its subordinates.”
Following Yuan's explanation, Bright Night slowly understood.
"Chief White Fox, do you mean that the demon that attacked this time might not be Shutendoji?”
If that was the case, she would not only be in despair in the future.
"There is such a possibility, but it is at least at the level of a great demon. Of course, if Miss Teruya is too lucky, she might encounter Shutendoji personally.”
"Chief White Fox, this joke isn't funny at all.”
Four-Palace Bright Night bitterly shook his head. She didn't dare to accept such luck.
" According to the White Fox's consciousness, as long as I stop Shutendoji's subordinate, the mark on my body will disappear and I will escape the fate of becoming a sacrifice.”
Yuan nodded.
"Miss Teruya, if the person who came this time was a great demon, I can help you intercept it and resolve the supernatural incident on your body. However, if Shutendoji comes personally, I can only do nothing. Whether you want to entrust me with another mission or not, you have to decide for yourself.”
"Of course I did. In a few days, I'll need the help of the White Fox Director.”
A smile appeared on Teruya Shimiya's face. She was most afraid of White Fox Minamoto not taking up the commission.
"Of course, I've also prepared the remuneration.”
Even Kasugano Dome couldn't help but feel curious.
He wondered what Teruya Shitomiya would take out to pay for this commission. Money was nothing compared to this commission.
After all, the attackers were at least at the level of great demons, and there was a chance that Shutendoji would come personally.
"Don't worry, I'll make the White Fox Chief satisfied.”After saying that, Teruya Yitomiya took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Love, bring up the things in the trunk.”
A moment later-
Ai Hayasaka, Teruya Yomiya's personal maid, walked in with two bodyguards in black suits. The two bodyguards were carrying a square black heavy safe in their hands.
" This is…divine power?!"
Yuan looked at the safe in front of her solemnly and felt the power of a powerful god.
Immediately, Teruya squatted down and opened the safe with a special key.
A bronze mirror that had been seriously decayed was reflected in everyone's eyes. The divine power contained in it was even more intense in Yuan's eyes.
" It's him!!!"
