After investigating Wild Fishing Town-
Kotomi Yanyong and Yuanyumo prepared to return the way they came. Overall, they had gained a lot from this trip. They had found many important clues, which was beyond their expectations.
Now, Yuan had a rough estimate in her heart.
If nothing unexpected happened-
Soon, the bizarre wood ghost incident would be completely resolved. As for the game between the two unknown powerful existences behind the incident, Yuan had always maintained her initial principles and had no intention of getting involved. At least not now. When she was strong enough, she might settle the old and new debts together and settle this debt properly.
They arrived at the Shinjuku subway station.
As the afternoon approached, the flow of people slowly increased. It was about to reach the peak period.
A moment later-
A subway slowly drove through the dark tunnel with its lights on.
"Ding, we have arrived at Shinjuku Station. Please take your luggage and alight in an orderly manner.”
"Next stop, Shibuya District."
After the passengers got off the train one after another, Yuan and Yan Yongqin also boarded the train.
"Eh? She's still on the subway."
When Yuan realized that this train was on the same frequency as the one she had taken earlier, she was shocked to find that the girl with long blond hair was still focused on her drawing board.
"She never got out of the car and has been drawing on the subway.”
It had been at least five to six hours since he had first met the blonde girl and when he and Iwanaga Kotoko had returned to the subway after investigating Wild Fishing Town. The blonde girl was still focused on her drawing on the subway. Just her concentration alone was enough to make Yuan admire her.
"Our director, who has never been close to women, turned out to be just pretending.”
Ishinaga Kotoko, who was sitting next to Yuanyumo, could not help but say in a strange tone.
However, it had to be said that the golden-haired girl who had sat in the last row of the carriage earlier had an ethereal beauty and a pair of clear and pure eyes that were not tainted by any impurities. Even Ishinaga Kotoko herself was stunned.
"Don't spout nonsense from where."
Yuanyumo extended her finger and slapped Kotomi Ishinaga's fair forehead.
" Ouch…It hurts, Chief…You're obviously looking at beautiful women like a maniac, but you don't let others say anything. You're really allowing the state officials to set fire, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. This is blatant tyranny…"
Kotomi Ishinaga covered her forehead, which had a red mark on it, as she grumbled unhappily.
" If you don't want to be muted anymore, you can continue…"
Hearing this…
"You only know how to threaten me…"
Ishinaga Kotomi glared at Yuan, but she did not dare to say anything else. She was really afraid that Yuan would mute her again. The feeling of not being able to speak was not pleasant.
" I noticed her when we got on the bus in Shibuya," Yuan explained.
However, before Yuanyumo could finish her sentence, Ishinaga Kotomi looked at her as if she was looking at a scumbag. So, she already had " ulterior motives " when she came here.
At that time, he had just been silenced by this " well-dressed " director, and he actually didn't notice it for a moment. The " scumbag " director wouldn't go up to this blonde girl and ask for her phone number, right? With the director's looks and temperament, there shouldn't be many girls who could reject him.
Yuan had no idea.
In this short period of time.
In her heart, Ishinaga Kotoko had already marked him with the words " scum "," well-dressed "... or else, she would definitely have been silenced.
When Ishinaga Kotoko heard from Yuanyumo-
After the golden-haired girl sitting in the last row of the carriage erupted with a spiritual energy that was above his own, she was shocked.
Kotoko Ikenaga was instantly shocked.
"Director, you don't mean that the blonde girl is stronger than you, right?”
A spiritual power that far exceeded the director's?
After all, the director was now a proper National Level Onmyoji. Her spiritual power far exceeded his. Was she a National Level Two Onmyoji or a National Level One Onmyoji? Moreover, looking at the appearance of the blonde girl, she was about the same age as her.
He was now the youngest national-level Onmyoji in the entire Yin Yang Path.
It was the director and the Suzuka of the Dalian Temple.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been called a rare genius of the Yin Yang Doctrine if he didn't have the potential and aptitude in this area. However, when did such a young national Yin Yang Master appear? Moreover, he was very unfamiliar and had never been heard of before.
"Powerful spiritual power doesn't represent strength.”
"It should be a spirit body…"
Then, Yuan told her guess to Kotomi Ishinaga.
"I see. Director, should we recruit him into our White Fox Firm?”
Kotoko Ishinaga also noticed that this golden-haired girl who was immersed in her drawing board did not have any trace of cultivating the Yin Yang Dao. She was a flawless piece of jade that could erupt with considerable combat strength with just a little polishing.
This made her want to rope him in.
As for whether her arrival at the White Fox Law Firm would " threaten " her, it was completely unnecessary. If this blonde girl really came to the White Fox Law Firm, she might not even have the " combat power " of Kasugano Dome.
"…Forget it." It was true that Yuan was slightly tempted.
"If she really wanted to join the Supernatural Office or cultivate the Yin Yang Doctrine, she wouldn't be what we see now.”
"That's true. It seems that only painting interests her. She doesn't care about anything in the outside world.”
Kotoko Ishinaga looked at the golden-haired girl who was still focused and nodded in agreement.
Although it was only their first meeting.
However, this golden-haired girl gave off the feeling that she was an artist born to draw. She was pure and singular. Other than drawing, there was nothing else in her world.
After that, Yuan and Iwanaga Kotoko withdrew their gazes and stopped their discussion.
However-
What Yuanyumo and Iwanaga Kotoko didn't know was…
The golden-haired girl's third drawing of Yuan's portrait had already taken shape. She was carefully carving it bit by bit, perfecting the various details at the corners.
One had to know that the golden-haired girl had rarely polished her painting so meticulously in the past, let alone drawing three portraits of a person in a row because she was dissatisfied. She wanted to vividly portray the person in her mind, whether it was the spirit or the temperament.
Along the way-
Yuan closed her eyes to rest. Her mind was filled with all sorts of details and clues regarding the matter of the mysterious wood spirit. Meanwhile, the golden-haired girl not far behind her was carving the portrait in her hand bit by bit.
Although their thoughts were not in sync, there seemed to be something connecting them.
……
After a long time…
"Ding! We have arrived at Shibuya Station. Please take your luggage and alight in an orderly manner.”
The arrival announcement sounded.
As Yuanyumo and Iwanaga Kotoko stepped out of the subway with the crowd, they saw the blonde girl sitting in the last row from the corner of their eyes. She still had no intention of getting off the train or moving around. Her mind was completely focused on the drawing board in front of her.
After getting off the subway-
"Director, are we going back to the White Fox Law Firm or…?”
Standing at the Shibuya subway station, Yuan looked up at the sky. Although it was already afternoon, there was still some time before dusk. With Kasugano Dome watching over the White Fox Office, there was no need to rush back.
"It's still early. Let's see if we can find Masayoshi Kuda.”
After saying that, Yuan took out the talisman with the curse sealed on it and folded it diagonally like a primary school student folding a paper crane. However, he did intend to do so.
"I'm using the curse from the Goddess Temple to track him.”
Seeing this, Ishinaga Kotoko instantly understood what Yuan meant.
A moment later-
An exquisite paper crane made of talismans appeared in Yuan's hand. She then took out another talisman and chanted an incantation.
"Zhihe Lingfei, hurry!”
"--
Yuan stuck the talisman on Zhihe's body.
In an instant-
It was as if a lifeless object had suddenly been injected with life. The paper crane lying quietly in Yuan's palm began to spread its wings agilely and looked towards the south.
"I only found a similar aura.”
The paper crane did not turn around much, which meant that it had only found an aura similar to the curse in Shibuya District. It was just that it was unknown whether it was Makoto Kuda or her parents. After all, her parents were also cursed.
"Let's find her first…"
Yuan formed a seal with one hand, and the paper crane in her palm flew towards the south as if it had received an order.
"Let's go and take a look. It would be best if we can find Masayoshi Kuda in one go. Even if we can't find her, we will definitely find something.”
" Alright." Ishinaga Kotomi nodded and headed in the direction of the paper crane with Yuan.
……
The paper crane, which was augmented with the tracing talisman, was extremely fast.
Only twenty minutes passed.
It had already flown ten kilometers in the air, almost catching up with the lowest speed of a private car. If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of the paper crane.
"It's getting closer and closer."
After another ten minutes, Yuan could clearly sense that Zhihe was about to reach his destination. However, as they got closer and closer to their destination, both Yuan and Ishinaga Kotoko had a strange expression on their faces.
Yoyoki Park was just ahead.
One had to know that the White Fox Law Firm was right next to Yoyagi Park. Could it be that Masayoshi Kuda had been hiding under the White Fox Law Firm's nose all this time? If that was the case, it would be a mockery to them.
Another ten minutes passed.
The paper crane passed through Yoyoki Park and the White Fox Office. It stopped at the entrance of a two-story, white-European-style residential courtyard.
However, this place happened to be in the middle of the Feng City University Affiliated School and the White Fox Law Firm. It was less than two kilometers west of the Feng City University Affiliated School, and less than two kilometers east of the White Fox Law Firm.
"Knock on the door."
Yuan put away the paper crane and said.
" Knock on the door?!!"
Kotoko Iwanaga was clearly stunned. If she knocked on the door directly, wouldn't she alert the enemy? If she let Shini Kuda escape, it would be a waste of effort.
"The aura of Masayoshi Kuda's curse has disappeared. There's still the aura of a living person. Let's see what happens first.”
Yuan explained.
After hearing Yuanyumo's words, Ishinaga Kotoko was about to knock on the door.
Crack!
The door opened from the inside. Apparently, the owner of the house had heard the commotion outside and came out to check.
"You are…Kotoko Iwanaga, Iwanaga-san.”
A sweet girl with two ponytails appeared in front of Yuan and Iwanaga Kotoko. Both of them knew this person. She was none other than Kogi Tsukuchi, who had been involved in the wedding dress tree incident.
Never would he have thought…
Why would she meet her here? Why would Kuda appear at her place of residence?! And he didn't do anything strange?!!
"Xuecai, what happened?"
At this moment, a cold and familiar voice came from behind Kogi and Zeng Xuecai. Ishinaga Kotoko and Yuanyumo could not help but look at each other.
"Kaza, it's Iwanaga-san.”
Ogiceng Xuecai looked at the person next to Ishinaga Kotoko in confusion. He was wearing a mask to cover his face, but she could feel a familiar aura from him, especially that familiar gentle and refined temperament. She had only seen it on one person before, but the face of this person wearing a mask was extremely unfamiliar.
It's me, Yuan."
Yuan took off her mask helplessly.
"Yuanyumo, Yuanyu-kun…is it really you?!!”
Even Fuyuma Kazusha, who had just walked out of the room, widened her eyes in shock. She could not believe that the handsome young man who seemed to have walked out of a painting was actually Yuan.
It wasn't that Yuan wasn't good-looking.
However, compared to now, it was a complete change from heaven to earth. Whether it was her appearance or temperament, it gave people a kind of sublimation. If it wasn't for the familiar voice, they would have been able to hear it.
It was really unbelievable.
"Lord Yuanyu, did you go for plastic surgery?!”
Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai said carefully with uncertainty.
It was exactly the same thought that Ishinaga Kotoko had when she first saw Yuan's appearance. Perhaps it was the first thought that appeared in the hearts of most girls. However, it would be rejected after a few breaths. After all, plastic surgery was not as exaggerated as Yuan's.
" Recently, my Yin Yang Doctrine cultivation has improved quite a bit, so I'm bringing along…"
Yuan helplessly explained.
This made Kotomi Ishinaga roll her eyes. She was only fooling Ogiceng Yuesai and Fuyuma Kazusa, who were ignorant people who did not understand the Yin Yang Doctrine. If a breakthrough in the Yin Yang Doctrine could bring about such a huge change, wouldn't the Yin Yang Masters of the Yin Yang Doctrine be comparable to celebrities and idols? It was impossible.
Of course, Kotoko Ishinaga did not intend to expose him.
After all, everyone had their own secrets. Since the director did not want to tell her, she naturally would not ask too much. However, what Ishinaga Kotoko did not know was that the changes brought about by the breakthrough in Yin Yang Dao cultivation that Yuanyumo mentioned was not fake. It was just that others understood the meaning differently.
"The two of you came here, could it be…?!”
At this moment, Fuyuma Kazusa suddenly thought of something, and her face turned slightly pale. The same thing happened to Kogi and Zeng Xuecai who stood in front of her.
Yuan and Iwanaga Kotoko were both Yin-Yang Masters who were responsible for dealing with supernatural incidents.
People from the White Fox Firm.
From the looks of it, he didn't know that the two of them lived here, so he specially came to look for them. It was more like he was investigating some supernatural event.
"Although, I don't want to scare you."
" Yes," Yuan said seriously." What happened here is indeed related to the supernatural incident that our White Fox Law Firm is investigating."”
"Or should I say-"
"Everything is a follow-up to the wedding dress tree incident.”
