Chapter 25: Special customers of Customs Street
The black shadow that did not know its true body fled very quickly, and I also reacted to it somewhat, it didn't run away with all its strength because it was discovered by the little girl, and the reason why it escaped was probably because I was drunk by the little girl's breath that leaked for a moment, obviously it was a hidden master and a master of exploration, and it was actually me who really scared away the black shadow.

Could it be a thunderbeast? Except for the hired youkai of the underworld forces Konoe, I naturally have other suspicions, but unfortunately I'm not very familiar with the pet characteristics of Miss Hua Fan's family, but my intuition tells me that it shouldn't be a thunder beast.
Whoever it is, I have to catch it before I can decide what to do next.
Walking through dark alleys, climbing to the top of telephone poles, and climbing over the other side of the villas along the staggered network of wires, the monsters that were still a phantom in my sense tried to block my pursuit with buildings, for which I had to take a lot of effort to rise into the air from time to time, but my hand seemed to make the fugitives even more frightened, and I took out 120,000 points of strength and skill to speed up the escape, and from time to time it rushed into the crowded bustling commercial district, which made my mind lock almost offset by the diffuse popularity, can only barely maintain a trace of the induction imprinted on the phantom.
Chase it down! There is no point in being invisible in the crowd or not, the other party is much faster than me due to the size factor, unless I am desperate to fly in the air to pursue, but magic and physical strength do not allow me to consume wantonly, auxiliary jumping or crossing obstacles is the limit of maintaining staying power, if I chase after it in the air, with the distance between us I sense, and my flight speed in the outside world is not necessarily much faster than its escape speed, when I chase it desperately, maybe I have lost the strength to capture it, Instead, they put themselves in danger.
Luckily, it was a high-rise building, so I was able to climb to the top of the nearest floor with my hands and feet stealthy again, and then I was able to run at full speed again and jump from building to building in the direction of the sense.
This chase was almost entirely instinctive and reading experience for me, and after a hundred years of peaceful life, I could not compare to the outside demon who was familiar with the outside world - at least in terms of skill proficiency such as concealment and escape - and I was able to hang the phantom without being thrown away at the moment, thanks to Miss Kanako's spiritual teachings and the spiritual achievements of the Hakurei shrine maiden.
I thought I could hang it until it was inescapable, but it was not long before I noticed to my horror that it had scurried into a very special area of popularity, and the cacophony of all kinds of thoughts—or, from Miss Jue's point of view, the outward heart—invaded my mind along the connection of the thoughts, and the faint lock was broken by the shock.
I didn't regret that I had lost my target, but at least I knew that the outside world was not as calm as I thought, and I followed the feeling that I had come to a place that interrupted my targeting, only to be shocked to find that I had come to a place that was more than ten times more lively than what I saw in Shibuya yesterday, probably called the Custom Town?
The entrance of the block is extremely spacious, and a wooden archway that seems to be several times wider than a torii gate is erected at the entrance, on which are hung countless red lanterns or light bulbs, and there are several big men guarding the pillars of the archway, which seem to be security maintenance personnel.
Faced with the magnificent and colorful signboards and the bustling flow of customers in the customs street, I hesitated to open my temperance to enter and search? I'm a little worried about being disrupted by the inappropriate business scene for children! The reason why I am so worried is because Miss Komachi's mental experience is a little frequent about such places, and the Miss Grim Reaper, who has a negative temperament, is familiar with the set of customs streets, and it is embarrassing to be familiar with the ancient and modern roads.
I searched hard, but found that the human desire of this large custom street could really disturb my concentration and divergent thoughts, this unprecedented strange phenomenon naturally aroused my interest, but because of the annoyance of the loss of the current target, I temporarily gave up research, and in the middle of my troubles, a magnetic young male voice sounded in my ears: "Beautiful young lady, do you need help?" ”
What he meant was obviously that I was in great need of help, and that a hundred years ago, I might have been confused enough to accept "help" that I didn't know if I needed it, but now......
The young man in front of me was dressed in a tuxedo black suit that seemed to match the atmosphere of the occasion but looked very suitable, the bow tie around his neck was extraordinarily upright, his golden hair and the standard girl's sunny and handsome melon seed face gave the first impression that he was trustworthy, but I couldn't recognize a person now of course it was impossible to judge from the first impression of his appearance alone, I glanced around again, and at the same time used the divine sense that had not yet been withdrawn, and found that many young men who were almost dressed seemed to be planning to say a similar hello to me, it's just that the timing in front of me is just a good one.
I see, I suddenly realized, just a few breaths of hesitation and standing, I am probably regarded as a good oil and water to be slaughtered confused lamb, right? Well, I should say that it is a customer to be slaughtered.
But on the other hand, although I don't know how to use the Earth Spirit Hall Master's divine mind-reading skills, just by relying on a little physiological reaction and a little soul movement observed in my divine thoughts, I can also make some general judgments about the hearts of strangers.
"I'm sorry, I ......" wanted to reject him outright, and he was too close! The height difference and the slight position made me feel that he intended to envelop me in his breath, but then I felt that although these men from the custom street who solicited customers were not abrupt, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accomplices of the fleeing phantom, so I forcibly suppressed the panic of being approached by a strange man, "I, the help I need is very special, you may not be able to help me." ”
"No, I think I can help you, as long as it's a confused lady, I'm confident that I'll be able to provide the service you want, um-" He used his nasal voice to make his appearance more magnetic, and under Miss Komachi's teaching, I understood that this was one of the necessary techniques to seduce special customers, "Especially for a lovely lady like you, I think that the brightest light will come from my eyes in Kabukicho tonight, and before I ask for it, can I treat you to a drink?" ”
It's so direct!
"...... "I barely maintained my composure on the outside, and I was distressed in my heart to think about a solution, the reason why I didn't immediately reject him and flash him was because I noticed an inexplicable tremor in his heart, it may be a normal psychophysiological activity caused by ordinary heterosexual contact, but it may also indicate that he is brewing a private idea that interests me, could this guy have something to do with the fugitive youkai?"
"Ah I'm sorry, please forgive me for being shocked by the beauty of Miss and forgetting myself, in Shimolongichi, on this street, thanks to the love of all of you, I can't help you without me, only what you can't think of."
Could this guy named Ryuichi be an Oiran-like being? Whether he can help me find my pursuer or not, he threw out a bait in response to my so-called need for special help, and I thought about it and decided to abandon the festival for a moment and go deep into this mixed custom street, not only as a self-experience, but also to see if the male Oiran in front of me had other ideas.
I took a half step back, pretending not to care, and said, "I hate the way you speak, if you can correct it, don't say anything about helping, it's still okay to invite me for a drink." ”
"Hahaha, you're the most special foreigner lady I've ever seen, huh...... It's rude again, and you haven't asked for Fang's name yet? You shouldn't be Japanese, right? ”
"My name is Alice, I'm from England, and I'm currently traveling alone in Japan." There is nothing wrong with this statement, and in order to draw out other possible purposes for young men, I deliberately emphasized "alone", hoping that my encounter this time will not become a typical case of fishing law enforcement.
He seemed happier, but instead of making an inappropriate move, he led me to his business, at least he was a good observer, I thought to myself.
ps: I heard that there has been a crackdown recently, and I don't know how to replace some words......
