Chapter 786 The enemy is at Honnoji Temple Part 2 (5)
Qian Xiaoyi was a little surprised. He did not expect that the real owner of this shrine was the old man who was sweeping the floor outside.
"Is he a master?" Qian Xiaoyi thought: "I didn't even feel his aura."
Even Xingchang Rang and Liuliyuan Hiroaki were surprised. expression.
"Old man of the mourning hall, you are actually here!"
Qian Xiaoyi keenly caught this and thought: "So... was he waiting for me at the gate just now? To observe me?"
The old man took off his clogs and left. He came in, glanced at the scissors in Qian Xiaoyi's hand, and said, "This is my shrine after all. What's weird about me here?"
Hoshiba Rang and Liuliyuan Hiroaki shrank their heads, In their impression, this senior was a very fierce person, so after seeing him, the two of them felt like they were children again, and they were instinctively nervous.
"You are the psychic detective from China, right?" The old man said to Qian Xiaoyi: "When we first meet, my name is Mingdang Kisuke, and I am the grandfather of this child. I have retired now, but He's just a bad old man who has nothing to do every day."
He squatted down slightly with one hand on his knees and made a "please" gesture with the other hand.
I don’t know why, but he was just a short old man, but when he introduced himself, everyone felt a wave of blood rushing towards them, as if the person in front of them was not a spiritual exterminator, but a long-retired society boss. .
"Uh...please give me some advice?" Qian Xiaoyi was holding the scissors in his hand and was a little at a loss. He felt that the posture opposite him seemed familiar?
Xingchang Rang thought: "You definitely don't look like a retired old man, old man! Why do you introduce yourself in a gangster style!"
Liu Liyuan Hongming thought : "I heard that Mr. Kisuke spent some time in a club before becoming a spiritual exterminator. So the rumors are true... No wonder I always felt scared when I saw his face when I was a child."
Yan Ci, the mourner on the side, said in surprise: "It's amazing. Grandpa actually introduced himself with this kind of etiquette. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Qian Xiaoyi thought: "The highest courtesy, this is it!"
"It's just the respect due to the strong." Mingtang Kisuke returned to his normal posture without embarrassment, and he looked carefully Holding the scissors in Qian Xiaoyi's hand, he marveled: "Did you actually surrender this guy in your hand? It seems that my suspicion is right. It has always been right." ...Put it away. If you let the breath continue to be released, it will pollute the shrine."
Qian Xiaoyi nodded, put the scissors in the box and put them away, and then asked: "Old man, listen to you. In this case, you have always had doubts about that matter?"
"Of course." Mingtang Kisuke sneered: "That guy Jisuke, He was the only one who survived that day. Although I don't doubt that he harmed others, he became very strange after that day. From what I know about him, he is definitely hiding something."
Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Are you familiar with Mr. Ashiya?" Mingtang Kisuke snorted: "That's right. When we were young, he and I used to We partnered for a while...but it's all over. The old guy has changed. Although I can't tell, he is definitely not as straightforward as he was when he was young. Just like the legendary story, the Ashiya family always plays the villain. , it seems that he is no exception. I remember that he once told me that he wanted to clear the Ashiya family’s reputation.”
Xingchang Rang suddenly realized: "So you have not allowed Yan Cijun to agree to our alliance's invitation. Is it because of this?"
Mingtang Kisuke said: "Working with that old guy will not bring any good results. I am In this way, my son is the same, so I will never let my grandson make the same mistake again, no matter how extravagant his words are. Same...but what I didn't expect was that you two boys actually woke up and saw through the old guy's true colors. You have a good vision."
"This guy is really resentful of Ashiya Kisuke. It's very deep..." Qian Xiaoyi thought silently: "But of course, among the people who died at the beginning, there was his son, and then only Ashiya Yoshisuke survived. Come on, as a partner, I will definitely blame the other party for not protecting his son..."
Liu Liyuan Hiroaki asked: "Mr. Lingtang, may I ask if you have noticed anything strange before that incident? "
"You mean the traces of Hyakki?" Mingtang Kisuke said, touching his chin: "You could indeed detect it at the beginning. Something was surging in the shadows, but at that time, due to the economic stagnation, all kinds of strange groups came out to confuse people's hearts, so it was very difficult to find the Hyakki who had not yet made a fortune among so many groups. It was difficult, and I had already retired due to my health... But if it was Tsutaro..."
The Jintaro he was talking about was his son, one of the four people who died in the attack on the cracked girl.
Mourning Hall Kisuke shook his head: "That idiot son...received an invitation from Jisuke to defeat the slit girl, because they discovered that the existence of the slit girl is different from the ghosts recorded in ancient books. Except that He and everyone else are like this too. They gather here not for money, but because they are attracted by the existence of the Rift Girl. Together, in the end...that kind of thing happened."
"Does all the mystery lie with the cracked girl?" Lingtang Yanci thought deeply. Although he was still young at the time, he had no impression. Now that he has become the actual person in charge of the shrine, he is also an exorcist, so it is natural that he would want to explore this matter.
“Boy, you are really powerful for being able to seal the cracked girl.” Mingtang Kisuke stared at Qian Xiaoyi and asked: “But... that kind of seal will suppress your own strength. Right? With that thing here, you can't use your power normally, right?"
Liu Liyuan Hongming and Xingchang Rang looked at Qian Xiaoyi in surprise.
Qian Xiaoyi's body stiffened slightly, and then he showed an embarrassed smile: "Have you still been noticed? He is indeed an old-timer."
"Huh, experience is not a talent. It can be made up for." Mingtang Kisuke said: "Although I don't know how you did it, but the fact that you can use that terrifying power of existence means that you have established some kind of unique connection with that guy. Just now I can feel that when you use its power, you also have to expend a lot of energy to suppress it. Once it is not suppressed, it will go berserk, right? "
Qian Xiaoyi glanced at it? Outside the door, the girl with a cracked mouth that only he could see was standing there, staring at him faintly, the scissors in her hand dripping with blood.
"Yes... it's very hard." Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "If I don't pay attention, this lady may run away, so I really can't relax my concentration for a moment."
"Half." Mingtang Kisuke raised five fingers and said: "At least half of your strength is used to contain the cracked girl. Once this amount is exceeded, the guy will reappear, so you have been I have been fighting in this state since then, am I right?”
