Raw?

Boiling water?

Hearing Jason's words, Hui Lijing was completely stunned, she was stunned: "This is in the car, where can I find a pot of boiling water for you...... No! Wrong! It's a youkai! You—You're going to eat youkai?! ”

Finally, Hui Lijing came back to her senses.

She stared at Jason with wide eyes.

Especially the tanuki in Jason's hands.

Tanuki!

With only a slight recognition, Hui Lijing recognized this monster.

It's not that Hui Lijing is familiar with monsters.

It's the youkai in front of you, and in this country, it has a considerable reputation.

There are many legends about them.

Of course, everyone listens to it as a story.

Including the previous Hui Lijing.

Even though there are rumors of youkai circulating in the 'detective world', Hui Lijing has never seen a real youkai.

Therefore, in the bottom of her heart, Hui Lijing has always doubted whether the monster is real.

And now?

Naturally, I don't doubt it.

After all, seeing is believing.

It's just that Hui Lijing, who had just crawled out of a pit of doubt, fell into another self-doubt.

What did she see?

Jason is ready to eat youkai!

Monsters eat people, Hui Lijing has heard of it countless times, there are many such episodes in stories and dramas, but people want to eat monsters...... It's the first time she's seen her.

Is this the 'exorcist' way of 'exorcism'?

Hui Lijing couldn't help but think in her heart.

Then, Hui Lijing shook her head.

How could it be!

Shouldn't the real 'exorcist' take his younger brother with a shotgun with salt bullets and keep pulling the trigger?

Or do the husband and wife fiddle with those high-tech devices, leave all kinds of evil evidence, and then say that they can't do anything about it?

How can there be a straight meal?

And......

Are yokai delicious?

Her outlook on life was greatly impacted, and Hui Lijing began to think wildly.

Jason, however, was incredibly calm.

"It's purification."

He's serious nonsense.

Then, a faint layer of flame appeared in the hand.

Although there is no pot and water, Jason is no stranger to handling 'food' with [Charles Burning Technique].

Soon, the tanuki's hair was burned clean, and the surface of his skin was slightly red, and then, Jason began to increase the intensity of the flames, from the ordinary blade level, to the bullet level, to the bomb level, and then to the chariot level.

Jason carefully controlled the temperature.

He didn't want the 'food' to be burned.

Hui Lijing, who was on the side, frowned and asked from the perspective of a third-rate chef.

"Shouldn't you first disembowel?"

"Their offal is also delicious."

Jason replied.

"I mean cleansing."

Hui Lijing corrected.

"My flames have been sterilized at high temperatures, in fact, most of the time, in order to purify these food ...... faster and better Demons, I will wash it directly with spirits, and now this kind of flame treatment is already very high-end. ”

Jason explained.

"Doesn't it stink?"

Hui Lijing still had doubts.

"Most likely not, if it is boiled, it needs to be cleaned well, but it will also lose some of the essence, and I haven't figured out how to ensure that I don't waste food while cleaning it."

Jason explains his hands-on experience.

"It's really troublesome...... Wrong! ”

"Why are your hands able to emit flames?"

"And just now, you obviously disappeared, how could you appear again?"

After a series of conversations with Jason, Hui Lijing, who had returned to her normal state, found that something was wrong, and the female detective with a dream of being a barista couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Because I'm an exorcist!"

Jason said naturally.

Hui Lijing opened her mouth to refute such obviously perfunctory words, but in the end nothing came out.

Because, she thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

How can an exorcist who can expel youkai be an ordinary person.

It is most correct to have some abilities that ordinary people do not have.

Then, a question naturally arises.

"Can I learn this ability?"

Hui Lijing asked.

"What do you say?"

Jason didn't answer positively.

His knowledge reserve contains quite a few mysterious knowledge that ordinary people can learn after training, but this does not mean that he will choose to teach it to a woman he has just met.

This is true even if the woman is his client, landlord, etc.

Without experiencing life and death in the true sense, everything is nothing.

Of course, if it is an equivalent exchange, Jason is also willing.

Does Grace have it?

Of course not.

Jason will be able to master the skills mastered by the other party, and he is more proficient than the other party.

Do you want the other party to use that curly hair to change?

No kidding.

He's not bald.

"Shh

"Is it really something that pays attention to talent, blood, or something?"

"It's no different from those rumored onmyoji, priests and the like."

Hui Lijing said with disdain.

It is rumored that the onmyoji and priests are quite particular about inheritance.

It's not just talent, it's blood.

Most of them are passed from father to son.

Some are brother to brother.

But the latter is very rare.

Hui Lijing had heard such rumors in the 'detective world', and she naturally scolded the old antiques and disdained them before, but now her disdain has become a little reluctant.

She looked at Jason with envy in her eyes.

Who doesn't want to be different.

Hui Lijing has a similar dream.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been a detective.

However, Hui Lijing's attention was soon drawn to the tanuki.

The tanuki was quickly ripe, and there was an alternative fragrance.

Fragrant!

But it's too fragrant!

It's like a poisonous flower that uses fragrance to attract prey!

It's more like that colorful poisonous mushroom!

A sense of deadly danger rose from the bottom of Hui Lijing's heart.

Can't eat!

Hui Lijing made her judgment almost immediately.

Jason, on the other hand, can't wait to open his mouth.

Click!

With a slight crisp sound, Jason tore half of the tanuki in one bite.

The tanuki is quite rich in fat, and the meat is not firewood.

The layer of fat under the epidermis becomes even more crispy after being grilled.

Hui Lijing looked at Jason, who bit half of the tanuki and chewed it heavily, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Because, she saw Jason's smile.

The smile that comes out of my heart.

Even a passerby could feel Jason's happiness at the moment.

Is it because of the food?

Hui Lijing thought, and then, the ghost envoy asked.

"Do you want salt?"

"I still have garlic, pepper and chili peppers."

Hui Lijing asked.

"Of course!"

Jason replied in a vague voice.

He did not refuse.

Because, Jason knows very well what kind of delicious food will burst out when it has seasoning.

In fact, the same is true.

The pepper was mixed with salt and sprinkled evenly on the remaining half of the tanuki, and Jason dipped in a little chili powder.

However, Jason didn't eat it right away, but peeled off a clove of garlic.

After peeling the skin, the clove of garlic became round and moist under the light in the car.

Click.

With a slight crunching sound, Jason took a bite of garlic first, and when the spicy taste began to fill his mouth, he immediately took a bite of the roasted tanuki meat, which was rich in fat and fat-filled in the mouth, and neutralized the spicy taste.

Especially the mixture of salt, pepper, and chili peppers.

Even if it wasn't cooked carefully, Jason still felt like he could eat a hundred more.

It's a pity that there is only half of them left in my hand.

Even if Jason restrained.

That is, three mouths.

After three bites, Jason began to lick the grease off his hands.

【Devouring Tanuki (Miscellaneous)】

[Stamina, energy, and injuries recover slightly!] 】

【Satiety +6】

[Satiety: 1038]

……

"Miscellaneous?"

"Miscellaneous cards?"

Jason looked at the mark in parentheses around the tanuki, and then at the satiety of 6 o'clock.

6 o'clock is not much satiety.

Very much in line with the miscellaneous explanation.

But Jason doesn't shy away from the surprise.

Jason understands the principle of gathering armpits into furs and accumulating sand into towers.

But right away, Jason frowned.

[Main Quest: Complete Exorcism 33 times (0/33)]

……

The main quest has not changed at all.

"Is it because no one has commissioned it?"

"So taking the initiative doesn't count?"

Jason guessed, his brow furrowed even tighter.

Because, if his guess is correct, this time the main quest is bound to become a little more troublesome.

But not everyone can know about his existence like 'Ichiro Aijo'.

Need some fame?

It wasn't difficult for Jason.

The difficult thing is what to do when he becomes famous.

Don't forget, he's being hunted down right now.

Once you become famous, trouble is bound to ensue.

But if he wasn't famous, who would entrust him?

For a moment, as if trapped in an endless loop, Jason frowned and raised his hand to tap his knee lightly.

"Jason?"

"Are you alright?"

Hui Lijing's voice rang in my ears.

Jason raised his head to look at Hui Lijing in front of him, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Why not launch an agent yourself?

In particular, Hui Lijing's detective identity can play a vital role!

Think about it, use the identity of a 'detective' to contact those cases with the remnants of youkai, and after he eats these monsters, he will find a reasonable explanation and disguise them as ordinary cases.

As Hui Lijing solves more and more cases like this, her fame will naturally grow.

There will be more and more similar cases, entering a virtuous circle.

And, she just gave me salt, pepper and chili peppers.

Thinking of this, Jason spoke.

"You yearn for the mystery side?"

Jason asked.

Hui Lijing looked at Jason Jing and blinked.

She is sometimes very impulsive and doesn't want to use her brain, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

On the contrary, at some point, Hui Lijing is quite smart.

For example: this time!

She clearly sensed that Jason needed her help with something.

In return, she should be able to give her some corresponding 'mysterious' knowledge.

In this regard, Hui Lijing couldn't ask for it.

She didn't hesitate and nodded directly.

"Hmm."

Sitting on the ground?

Inexistent.

As a smart person, Hui Lijing knows very well that she does not have such qualifications, although Jason was the first to find herself, but this does not mean that Jason cannot find others.

When the opportunity arises, don't hesitate, don't suffer from gains and losses, and don't worry about losing yourself.

Because, you don't have any chips at all.

Seize that opportunity before anything else.

That's what the guy said.

Although most of the time, Hui Lijing hates her sister Hui Lixiang, but sometimes, she also thinks that her sister is right.

"I need to use your detective name to deal with some cases involving youkai - I believe that there should be quite a few such cases in your circle, but most of them have become unsolved cases or disguised as unsolved cases."

"In return, I can teach you some of the basics of the 'mystery side.'"

Jason said very frankly.

The premise of trading is honesty.

Since Hui Lijing didn't have any bargaining, he wouldn't hide anything.

Knowledge is priceless.

The basics of the 'mystery side' are enough to pay off.

"Good!"

Hui Lijing nodded immediately.

The basics are everything.

When you have basic knowledge, will the advanced knowledge be far away?

The saddest thing in the world is not that you don't have a secret book that records peerless martial arts, but that you have a secret book that records peerless martial arts, but you can't understand it.

The car's engine started again.

The car started moving again.

After the tanuki was roasted by Jason, the thick and boundless mist dissipated.

Hui Lijing, who was driving the car, did not ask Jason why he was looking for a surrogate.

When she entered the training camp, she understood a truth: ask what should be asked, and don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

However, Hui Lijing did not shy away from some other issues.

"Was the mist just now also caused by the tanuki?"

"Jason, what other youkai have you seen?"

"You eat every time...... Purify them? ”

Hui Lijing asked again and again like a curious baby.

"The fog just now is not a real fog, but something like illusion."

"It uses a similar combination of scent and power to make you hallucinate."

"There are many ways to attack monsters, and this is just one of them, and 'seeing is believing' at any time, it is not necessarily real."

Jason replied patiently.

Now that Hui Lijing is about to become his agent, there are some things that Jason thinks Hui Lijing must know.

Whether it's for him or Hui Lijing, it's a good thing to know more about monsters.

"As for how many youkai I've seen?"

"There are a lot of youkai."

"Therefore, purification is necessary."

"Only purification is the best destination for them."

Jason began to say half-truths.

In the copy world in front of him, there were only three monsters he had seen, the woman in the cup, the woman in the TV, and the tanuki just now.

Of these, the woman inside the TV set, which was clearly the most delicious and completely surpassed the other two, also ran away.

This made Jason angry.

"And how do I purify youkai if I encounter them?"

"Firearms & Explosives!"

"If it doesn't work, try to change to a larger caliber."

Jason gave a plan that was most feasible at this stage.

And in the midst of such conversations, the Tong Shouji Temple is about to arrive.

But looking at the supposedly bustling street market in the distance, Hui Lijing frowned.

Wrong!

It's so quiet!

There was no one!

Hui Lijing looked around, hoping to find someone, but everywhere she looked, it was dark.

Crunchy.

At this moment, a slightly piercing sound came, and there was an extra light in the darkness, Hui Lijing naturally looked at this light, and then-

"Ahhh
