The eyelids are so heavy.

No matter how much effort you use and how much effort you put in, you still can't open your eyes.

The soreness and softness that came from all over the body constantly invaded this mind.

And then, in particular—

It seems that something has penetrated my chest, and it hurts.

【…… I'm here, what's wrong]

Can't open your eyes and don't know where you are now.

It's just that, with the sensation coming from the body, it seems to be being tied up and lying on a hard stone bed.

Unspeakable fear came over him, and his body began to tremble.

【…… What the hell is this...... Be...... What's going on]

"Failed again?"

A low, hoarse male voice rang out.

[Who!?] Who's talking? 】

I wanted to ask, but I couldn't.

"Yes, the subordinates are out of duty, please punish the Lord!"

“…… Sure enough? It's not enough to have a body. How's the preparation going in Jiangdu, China? ”

"All of them are acting according to plan, and the first group of people have successfully infiltrated."

"It's good, it's a rare opportunity to celebrate there these days."

"The subordinates understand that they will definitely get the things explained by the Lord done!"

【China...... Jiangdu? Isn't that where my sister went to school? 】

"Also, the target we found last time we can catch it if we can—but our first goal is to catch another element."

"Yes! In addition, the subordinate has a report. ”

"Say."

"Sousuke Kashima of the Kashima family has returned to Japan, and he even brought the Kashima family's family heirloom of Mikazuki Sokin."

“…… Sousuke Kashima? Not...... If you can, catch Sousuke Kashima and use this to blackmail another body. ”

"This ......"

"Huh? What do you think is wrong? ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

"Idiot! What is our highest goal!? ”

"Return to the Lord and resurrect the great ancestors!"

"You remember! The ancestors were invincible and invincible in the past, and did everything in order to do everything in the world, and our behavior will definitely be forgiven by the ancestors!! ”

【Body ......?】 Ancestors......? What the hell is this...... Damn it...... It hurts......]

Consciousness, once again, fell into chaos.

Mount Tai, Jade Emperor Peak, [Chongdao Palace].

Wuxia knelt in the main hall.

In front of him, there was an open curtain.

Through the curtain, two figures could be faintly seen.

"Kasumiko."

The old Taoist priest sitting behind the curtain spoke.

"Master."

"Xingyun, that kid isn't here, so I'm going to bother you to go to Jiangdu this time."

"Yes!"

"So, bring this thing with you."

Following the words of the old Taoist priest, a Taoist boy with pink carving walked in outside the hall.

Holding a long sandalwood box in his hand.

There are complex Taoist runes on the wooden box, and the qiē breath of the things placed inside is sealed in zài.

"This is ——!?"

Looking at Sandalwood, Wuxia's pupils shrank slightly.

Obviously, she knew exactly what was inside.

"-Master, the disciple doesn't have the ability to drive this divine sword."

"It's not for you, it's for the descendant of the Mu family."

To that one?

Wuxia looked a little puzzled.

"Master, such an important divine sword, do you really want to ......?"

"Ah, originally this time because the divine sword that awakened in Japan is counted according to the person, it is not worth sending this over, but- you also know that among all the divine swords existing in the [Chongdao Palace], there is only this one that we can't awaken, so take this opportunity to let you bring it to that Mu Yue, maybe you can use his ability to awaken this divine sword."

“…… I see, the disciple understood. ”

Taking the sandalwood sword box from Dao Tong's hand, Wuxia carefully held it in his arms.

"The sword is in the people, and the sword forgets the death."

"Alright...... You're ready to hit the road. ”

"The disciple retired."

……

After Wuxia leaves the main hall-

"Whew~~!! Finally threw this troublesome Niko out!! ”

The old Taoist priest suddenly lay on his back on the ground without any image, turned his head and looked at the old monk beside him with a smile.

"Your attitude makes Xia Nizi cry when she sees it, right?"

"Huh~~ But if Xia Nizi is here, I'm in charge, I really don't know if she's the master or I'm the master......"

"Huh...... But, old fellow, is this really good? ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"The sword...... If we are really awakened, we will not be able to take it back. ”

"But even if we don't send it, won't we be able to use it either? No matter how good the baby is, what's the use if you can't use it? ”

"You don't have a heart or lungs, and you don't hesitate to start a business."

"It's too much, please call this kind of behavior open-minded."

"......Shh

◇

Top floor of TETUOLASI Group Building.

"Young Master......"

"What?"

Gently putting down the book in his hand, Cui Huacan looked at a subordinate standing respectfully in front of him.

"My subordinates and others have recently discovered that there are a lot of suspicious elements in Jiangdu."

“…… Oh? ”

As a result, with the information handed over by his subordinates, Cui Huacan's brows furrowed slightly.

"...... a tour from Japan? Any questions? ”

"Young master, although these people entered the country in batches and under the banner of visiting the emperor's auspicious day, their subordinates and others found that they were not ordinary people."

“…… Well? ”

This is the time of year......

Cui Huacan suddenly remembered that Mu Yue had mentioned something about Saeko Kashima before.

Although it may involve Saeko Kashima's private affairs that are not explicitly stated, Mu Yue also made it clear that she has encountered some dangers recently, and there may be people who want to disadvantage her.

Even Saeko Kashima lived in Mu Yue's house, and Cui Huacan knew about it.

"[Chongdao Palace] knows over there, right?"

The vast majority of TETUOLASI's products are aimed at Daojun and Buddha, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the Magic Industries Group.

In this case, they naturally have a close relationship with the [Chongdao Palace].

"We already know that part of our intelligence comes from the other side."

"Really...... I have a great idea. ”

Cui Huacan suddenly laughed, raised the information in his hand, and had a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.

"Reveal this to that guy in Shangguan."

"This ...... Is there something wrong with it? ”

"It doesn't matter, Shangguan's temperament, he will definitely be interested in those people, as long as he is interested, then no matter what those Japanese want to do, they will be ruined by Shangguan......"

"Subordinates understood!"

"Ah Yue, you should also pay more attention. So, go ahead and do it. ”

"Yes!!"

After the man left, Cui Huacan stood up from the sofa.

Walking to the wall, he stretched out his right hand and placed it on the knight's sculpture by the wall.

Turning the head of the sculpture slightly, the wall in front of Cui Huacan suddenly opened a door.

Through the door, he walked into the room, and Cui Huacan looked up at the pair of double swords that were placed on the sword stand.

Cadre, Mo Ye.

“…… Well, maybe I'll need you this time. ”
