At the same time, outside the dilapidated apartment building where Yokota's house is located, about five or six hundred meters away from here, a black Toyota business sedan slowly pulled over.

In the driver's seat of the sedan sat a young man, he was delicate, thin, wearing a high-necked black trench coat, a white silk scarf, and even a black top hat, and a dark jade cane on the co-pilot, this dress made him look like a gentleman from a Western country.

In the back seat, sitting is an acquaintance of Kiyoshi Uesugi.

Yuichi Kudo.

He was still wearing the uniform of Haicheng Middle School, obviously in a hurry, and his eyes looked in the direction of Yokota's house with some solemnity through the rolled down window.

The black top hat in the driver's seat stopped the car, turned his head, and squinted at Yu Kudo.

"Detective, it's here."

"According to what you said, I sent field agents to clear the scene in advance, except for the Yokota family, I have evacuated the rest of the residents of that building, and I have also sent people to guard the area and temporarily isolate this area."

"The captain of the field team leader just communicated with me that Yokota House detected an extraordinary high-energy response that was beyond their ability and asked for follow-up orders, and I let them evacuate."

"That little friend of yours just went in with his little girlfriend... What is going to happen now? ”

Although Yuichi Kudo's expression was a little gloomy, he was not particularly anxious, but shook his head slowly.

"Just wait, Qing won't even be able to deal with that kind of small role, he's the disciple of Shangquan Hidekawa."

The top hat tilted his head, and seemed to approve of the remark.

"Also, after all, his teacher is the great swordsman who the samurai of the Shinsengumi can't ask for after three visits to the thatched house, and the new Yin Stream master who is known as the [Undefeated]..."

"If you want to say that he didn't use the means to press the bottom of the box, I don't believe it."

"That's why I'm weird... Where did this kid come from, the inspiration is terrifying, I can find out, he has entered the dream mirror world more than once, and he has also killed ghosts and gods with his own hands. ”

"The kind of poor countryside in Hokkaido can also pop up this kind of genius?"

"I checked the information before he entered high school, he was an ordinary country boy, except for the family heirloom Guliu swordsmanship, there is nothing that can make people shine..."

"The most outrageous thing is that I'm sure he's not [the linker]."

The black top hat chattered and talked a little, which made Kudo Yuichi frown impatiently.

"Alright, don't do this with me."

"There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, what is lacking is geniuses who have not died and grown up."

"Don't pretend to be thirsty for talent here, cherish your talents, what kind of person are you, I don't know?"

The black top hat seemed to be very familiar with Yuichi Kudo, and he didn't care about interrupting his words and revealing his old bottom, but shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about your little friend."

"By the way, how did you find out that something was wrong with that Yokoda?"

"The field agent in charge of that area of his company is not a lazy person, Yokotano's every move in the company is normal, and their routine monitoring does not show any problems."

Kudo Yuichi looked at the residential building in the distance with some distraction, and said casually: "Yokotano adopted his sister's daughter, Kyoko Nohara. ”

"A few days ago, Qing asked me to check the information of Nohara Apricot, probably because his spring heart sprouted? I got the information and glanced at it and saw that something wasn't quite right. ”

"The data shows that Yokotano seems to be in a cold war with his wife lately."

"Yokotano's character is kind at best, cowardly at worst, he has always been tolerant of his wife, he has been married for more than ten years, his wife doesn't want children, he doesn't care and nods in agreement, except for the necessary expenses, the monthly salary is basically all handed over to his wife's family - why does this kind of good family man start a cold war with his wife?"

"An outburst in the silence of an honest man? It's not quite like that, according to my investigation, the relationship between their husband and wife has always been very good, although Yokota Ryoko has a somewhat mean personality, but she is still loyal to her husband, and she has no affair, let alone a broken relationship. ”

"It's impossible for us to monitor the family situation of every household in Tokyo, but..."

"Yokota family, something must have gone wrong."

"I was a little curious, so I used some contacts to check the Yokota family a little bit, and I found this."

"This is a picture from last night, and it just got to me today."

Yuichi Kudo handed a photo to the black top hat.

The black top hat took the photo, and when he looked at it, his face changed slightly.

"This is..."

The photograph is a little hazy and blurry, probably taken from a distance, and in the picture, through the narrow window, Yokodano can be seen kneeling reverently at a small shrine in his home.

In the shrine, a headless statue stands strangely, with a wandering posture, giving people a chilling feeling in the dark night.

Yuichi Kudo nodded affirmatively.

"Don't hesitate, this is the ghost you think of—your nemesis."

"It seems that there are already some big people, tired of the boring life in the dream mirror world, ready to plan to return to the world... Or did their ambitions never dissipate? ”

"Whatever you may say, Yokodano must have been one of the chosen believers, I suppose... His mission was to offer offerings and spread the faith. ”

"I gave the information, how to do it, you have the final say, I said ugly things in front, I am not a combatant, you don't want me to work hard for you."

Yuichi Kudo's tone was brisk, and even a little gloating.

The black top hat's expression was much more gloomy, he stared at the headless god in the photo with some solemnity, cursed in a low voice, and carefully put the photo away.

"I see, Detective, I owe you a favor."

"I'll settle this matter, Tokyo is not a place where those ghosts and gods can do whatever they want!"

"If Yokodano is a believer in that ghost... Do you want me to go up and help your little friend? Grab a job? ”

Yuichi Kudo glanced at the black top hat with the eyes of an idiot.

"You haven't gotten home yet, and when you see that statue, you're upset?"

"Yokota Ye Bacheng is the [Secret Rite] under the command of that ghost god, what is the use of you catching a live [Secret Rite]? How effective torture was torture for him? ”

"The mystical rituals are all crazy fanatics, don't try to communicate with the madmen, just catch one and kill the other... Are you a naïve newcomer to the industry? ”

"Don't be embarrassed, we are colleagues anyway, I won't care if you live or die, the important thing now is to follow the vine, not to do useless work."

Yuichi Kudo took a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and threw it in the front seat.

"I found out that Yokotano works for an intermediary financial company, responsible for tax returns and accounts for some small companies that can't afford to hire financial personnel or black companies that are inconvenient to hire financial personnel, and most of their customer groups are extreme people."

"I know the origin of that idol."

"That thing comes from the head of the Dongwen Society, and the Twin Ghost Group under the name of Dong Wenyu - Yokotano has made a big business for the Twin Ghost Group, and that god statue is one of the thank you gifts given to him by the people of the Twin Ghost Group."

"If you want to check, start here."

The black top hat frowned and thought for a moment, and the words came to his mouth.

"Dongwen Society? Dong Wenyu? ”

"Is it the loser brother of the Dongwen Society's generation of Dongwen Jue? He dared to have a relationship with ghosts and gods, and he was not afraid that Dong Wenjue would pick his skin? ”

Yuichi Kudo smiled disdainfully, his tone meaningful.

"Dong Wenyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, his ambition and appetite are not small."

"Dongwen Jue is old, his life experience is legendary enough, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a hero, but a hero will also have birth, old age, sickness and death."

"I heard that Dong Wenjue wants to support his only daughter to sit in the position of the second generation of the Dongwen Society-do you think Dong Wenyu will be convinced?"

"The so-called human nature is like this, for the sake of sufficient interests, not to mention having a relationship with ghosts and gods, even if he betrays the rope that hangs him, he can do it!"

As he spoke, Yuichi Kudo pushed open the car door and stood outside the door and stretched.

The top hat poked half of his head out of the window, and he opened his mouth in some astonishment.

"Where are you going? Are you going up? Don't! You also know that you don't have any combat ability! ”

Yuichi Kudo took out his phone and pressed it a few times, his expression calm.

"I don't have time to chat with you, I just came here to see if Qing will really face off with Yokota, and now the ghosts over there are rampant, and there is obviously a fight, and I want to prepare for the aftermath."

"I know Kiyoshi's character, what he will do afterwards, I can also guess it, I have to call my father and call him in Sakurada Gate, don't let those police detain him!"

The black top hat rolled his eyes, and suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Detective, I obviously asked you to spy on this little friend, but you actually played a friendship game with him, which I didn't expect."

For the ridicule of the black top hat, Yuichi Kudo didn't take it to heart, and he opened his mouth nonchalantly.

"Geniuses will always attract each other, and excellent people will naturally be attracted to confidants, this kind of truth, a ruthless person like you will not understand."

The black top hat looked perfunctory, and suddenly changed his words.

"Since Uesugi Kiyoshi has such a good relationship with you, why don't you go and recruit him for me?"

"His inspiration ability is more than twice that of ordinary people, in this regard, I am not as good as him, his sword strength is a new Yin Liu, maybe he has also experienced the awakening of the true sword, he can cultivate sword intent and sword heart, and his combat effectiveness is absolutely extraordinary!"

"In the past year, he has killed at least five ghosts and gods of different strengths by himself - he has the ability to solve regional-level incidents on his own!"

"This kind of talent, can't be cheap Heiankyo and Shinsengumi!"

"You also know, we have just taken root in Tokyo, and we can take charge on our own, except for you and me, there is only that scumbag - although he is very capable of fighting, he goes out all day to spend all day drinking, and he can't find anyone on a mission, and there is no difference between him and without him!"

"I've been busy with a lot of hair in the past few months, you don't care, you don't know my difficulties!"

"You kidnap your child for me and help me share the burden, and I can make it a lot easier!"

"Don't worry, I won't treat him badly in terms of treatment, our rules, you should know in your heart, compared to Heiankyo and Shinsengumi, we are definitely more suitable for him here!"

Kudo Yu glanced at the black top hat and shook his head.

"You're thinking beautifully, let me be a lobbyist for you?"

"I don't care about this, if you want to recruit Qing, go talk to it yourself, he agrees, and I won't stop it."

"I understand his character, I have helped him a lot in the past year, as long as I open my mouth, in order to repay the favor, he will also agree to my request."

"I don't care what you think, I really treat him as a friend - I won't force my friends to disobey my heart for me, it's not my way of behaving in the world."

The top hat pursed her lips and said in some confusion, "I know you're friends - but you're doing it for his good!" Even if he studied under Hidekawa Kamiizumi, he could only learn kendo! ”

"If you join us, he'll get more resources! He can even get a [lens] for [linking], you are also a [linker], how much benefit the lens link will bring to people, you don't know it! ”

Yuichi Kudo waved his hand one by one, interrupting the Black Top Hat's words.

"Friends won't use favors to force each other to do things they don't want to do under the guise of being good for you!"

"You know what?"

The black top hat was silent for a long time, silently shaking his head.

He really didn't understand, this was obviously a win-win thing.

Why is Yuichi Kudo so resistant?

Kudo Yuichi didn't say anything sarcastic, let alone explain, just smiled helplessly, turned around and walked away.

"No wonder you don't have friends!"

Kudo Yuichi's faint words came, the choked black top hat was speechless, and when he came back to his senses, Kudo Yuichi had been picked up by a speeding white car, leaving him alone messy in the wind.

"Forget it... I'll do it myself! ”

The black top hat muttered to himself, but he was not angry, reached out and picked up the black jade cane in the passenger seat, got up and got out of the car.

He looked in the direction of the apartment and smacked his lips.

"This level of extraordinary strength reaction... Yokodano seems to want to fight for his life..."

"Forget it, I'll take a look... lest something go wrong, if he is allowed to escape, it will inevitably be another disaster..."

"Dongwenhui, Dongwenyu, the twin ghost group..."

"Hmph..."

"There's no hurry, let's play slowly..."

...

On the other hand, Uesugi Kiyoto is not as comfortable as Kudo Yuichi thought, in fact, Uesuizumi Hidekawa did not begin to teach Uesugi Kiyoshi extraordinary swordsmanship, and Yokodano, who has completed the "transformation", is also a little tricky.

Uesugi Kiyoshi naturally couldn't watch his opponent's leisurely transformation, his charging pace didn't stop at all, but the speed of the mutation on Yokotano was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had become a monster covered in blood and turned his flesh outward.

Uesugi Kiyoshi gritted his teeth, but did not change the sword momentum, he continued to use the bone chopping knife in his hand to slash at Yokotano's head, this monster form is a little scary, but he doesn't believe that this thing can live without a head!

Yokotano let out a strange smirk, and with a lightning-like wave of his arm, his speed increased by at least three times, and he firmly held the bone chopping knife in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand in his palm with one hand - the blade made of steel could not cut his skin at all, and when he used a little force, the bone chopping knife was pinched flat and rolled into a twist-like shape.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was horrified, hurriedly abandoned the knife, and rolled on the ground, stained with blood, but successfully picked up the wooden knife that had been clamped down by Yokodano and thrown aside casually.

He was a carp, just got up, and was about to reflexively slash out a knife, when his eyes were dark, and he saw a fist suddenly come and blast into his face!

There is no way to dodge, there is no way to dodge, Uesugi Kiyoshi hurriedly crossed his left arm in front of him, accompanied by a huge pain, his whole person was smashed by Yokodano's punch, along the door of the living room, fell into the dim corridor, and hit the cement wall heavily.

He was smashed, his throat was sweet, he retched a few times, and there was a burning pain in his left arm, he didn't have time to complain, he quickly struggled to stand up, and moved his left arm vigorously - it hurt, but he could move, and the bones should be fine!

He felt a little at ease, holding the sword in one hand in his right hand, his eyes widened, and he stared closely at the horizontal field that was swaying towards him, ready to let go.

"Apricot! Run to the staircase! Don't look back! ”

Nohara Kyoko in the corridor on the side saw Uesugi Kiyoshi being beaten out, and her heart was distressed and scared, she just wanted to come over to help Uesugi Kiyoshi, she was yelled at, her delicate body trembled, her mouth opened and closed a few times, she didn't speak, she still didn't dare to disobey Uesugi Kiyoshi's order, with tears in her eyes, she turned around and ran towards the staircase.

She's not the kind of stupid heroine in a TV series, she only cries and shouts that she wants to die with her beloved, the house is dim just now, plus Uesugi Kiyoshi blocked her vision with her body, she doesn't know what's going on at home yet, but since she can make Uesugi Kiyoshi so embarrassed, then she won't help Uesugi Kiyoshi if she stays here, so it's better to leave quickly, so as not to distract him.

Seeing that Kyoko Nohara was not stupid, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

He's not at the end of his rope yet...

His expression suddenly calmed down, and Uesugi Kiyoshi maintained the posture of holding the sword in his right hand, and flicked his left hand with his fingers.

His mind moved, but the wind and clouds around him changed--countless gray-black mist surged out of his body like a hidden dragon ascending into the abyss, and the sudden burst of mirage lingered around him, and even made Yokota, who had become a monster, stagnate, and his eyes rarely carried a bit of humanized jealousy.

He's scared...

Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was neither happy nor sad, he was calm, his left hand and sword point, erected it in front of his chest, and silently recited a word in his heart.

In an instant, above the sword finger of his left hand, a tiny but brilliant fluorescence quietly bloomed, from a point of light, to light, to a rectangular plane.

A glittering glittering card came out of nothing, instantly appearing between his index and middle fingers.

Baiwen card.

The volume of the dog god.

Secret techniques.

Heart Slash!
