Chapter 570 The Battle for Aken (11)
In Tokyo, shrouded in darkness, neon lights became the only theme color. Pedestrians on the street walked by in a hurry, and no one paid attention to this man walking on the road, who was simply dressed. It should be said that no one wants to get into trouble, because this guy is holding a stick wrapped in cloth in his arms. He keeps muttering something and staggering. He looks like a homeless man. Mental illness.
This guy with obvious mental problems stared at the person in front of him and said vaguely:
"It's him...did you see it? I can feel it. This guy is a spirit killer...Quickly, pull me out and kill him!"
"No! It's really not possible. This is a busy city and I'll be arrested by the police! Bear with it..."
"I'm going to kill him...Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill..."
"We have been following him for a long time. If we can bear with him a little longer, we really..."
I don't know After walking for a while, the target finally turned into a deserted alley.
"Go in! Kill him!" the homeless man roared.
After the homeless man followed the man in, he didn't expect that the man stopped at the end of the alley, turned around, and looked at him.
"The evil spirit that has been following me for a long time. The strong resentment can be smelled even from more than ten meters away. How dare you regard me as a target?"
The evil spirit exterminator turned around. , took out a charm in his hand, then licked his lips and said, "Interesting , a mere evil spirit dares to take action against this uncle who is called a [Monster Hunter], you are so brave, let me drive you away... Wait, what did you get?"
The cold light suddenly appeared, and the tramp raised his head, showing a crazy look.
"My name is Qinggui, and I am a vengeful evil ghost crawling out of hell...die, exorcist!"
A scream echoed in the alley, But under the noise of the busy traffic outside the street, no one heard it. Even if they heard it, no one would come to check and cause trouble.
After a while, the homeless man walked out with a long knife wrapped in cloth in his arms, muttering something as he walked.
"You must not do this next time! You are so impulsive! We must change to another place, we can't stay here anymore..."
"I understand, I understand, I know We want to kill the Necromancer...but we can't mess around..."
"Next time after you confirm the target, we must observe it for a period of time before deciding whether to take action..."
As he kept mumbling, he was lost in the crowd and disappeared.
...
A few mornings later, Qian Xiaoyi looked at his laptop and frowned.
【The sword-testing murderer from the Edo period reappears? ! Two dead people have appeared! 】
This news has been the headlines in recent days. The content is that two deceased people appeared in the Tokyo metropolitan area. There is almost no intersection between them, and the death areas are also far apart. If it were not for the same method of death, They may be treated as unrelated homicides, but the problem is that they were all killed with the same weapon.
Through autopsy, investigation cameras and other clues, it is inferred that the murderer who killed them was the same person.
What's even more shocking is that the weapon that killed them turned out to be a samurai sword through trace inspection! This can't help but remind people of the frenzied behavior of the ancient samurai who tested their swords on passers-by. However, later police investigations found that the two deceased people belonged to professions related to spiritual masters, so some media speculated that the murderer might be a man who was murdered. The victim deceived by the psychic was deceived after being defrauded of all his family property, so he chose revenge. Public opinion on the Internet also turned towards the murderer, and many people began to share their family members' experiences of being deceived by so-called psychics.
At present, the police have begun investigating the customers of the two victims in an attempt to find the murderer.
"Katana?" Qian Xiaoyi thought worriedly: "If it is Hyakki's counterattack..."
"Brother Oto!" Inuyama Heita hurriedly ran away with the newspaper. He came over and said: "News! Did you read the news? What I just saw during my morning jog was..."
"I don't know, but it's possible." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Judging from this person's modus operandi, he will only attack in remote places. You should be careful and don't run to places where there are no people. It's dark. Just go home quickly, got it? But don’t worry too much, if it’s really Nobuo’s sword, Aken will notice it.”
“Eh?” Ken shivered: "It's really scary that such a thing could happen... But I know, I will protect the Inuyama clan."
Seeing Ken so scared, he still made his promise , Inuyama Heita couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Mr. Takeru..."
"In exchange, I want to buy a new figure!" Taken took advantage of the situation and said.
“Ah, I’m going to miss the train.” Heita Inuyama pretended to look at his phone and said, “I’m going to school first, Brother Oto!”
Then he hurriedly left the office.
"Hey, I still have plenty of time to talk." Ajian chased after him: "Don't pretend you can't hear me!"
Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and continued to check the web page. In the forum of spiritual masters, this topic has caused a lot of quarrels, and everyone is in danger.
At this time, he received an invitation for a video conference call.
Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the invitation sent by Ashiya Jisuke. He connected to the computer and found that besides him, many other acquaintances had also arrived.
People like Suzuna, Kongo, Ruriin Hiroaki, Anna, Terao Iku, Kito Ryukou, the bald spirit slayer (Qian Xiaoyi forgot his name) and others are all here. They are all colleagues who have directly participated in the subjugation of monsters before. It is also the most likely target of Hyakki's revenge.
"Qian Jun is also here." Ashiya Jisuke nodded with a serious expression: "Apart from Rang Jun's absence, he seems to be studying something recently and is practicing in seclusion. I will inform him of the results of the meeting later. "
Anna sneered: "Cultivation? That pervert, I think he is studying something strange, right? Let me do some divination..."
She seemed to have learned from the deck of cards. He pulled out a few cards, then his expression changed slightly, and he looked at the screen silently without saying anything.
Qian Xiaoyi always felt that the woman just looked at him, but there was no evidence.
He changed the subject and asked: "Miss Anna, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't see you in Huangquan House before... Why does the sky look a little strange over there? I thought you had closed the curtains at first?"< br>
Anna smiled slightly: "Thanks to Mr. Qian's concern, recently due to the enterprise of the TV station program team, Now, I am currently recording a special program overseas, preparing to explore the mystery of the origin of Tarot cards."
Qian Xiaoyi felt a "shock" in his heart. He originally wanted to drag this guy with a keen sense of smell into the water. , asked her to help, but she didn't expect that she went directly abroad. It seemed that she smelled danger.
"Okay, if you have any gossip, you can talk about it in private." Ashiya Jisuke said seriously: "What we are going to discuss next is a very serious topic... How should we face Hyakki? Revenge?”
