Chapter 153. Chess game
Outside Kyoto City.
Mt. Atago.
Deep in the mountains, in a clearing where you can look up at the starry sky.
Suddenly, the space distorted a little.
A figure walked out of the gap in the space, although his steps were easy, but there was a hint of fear on his face.
"I didn't expect that guy to be in Kyoto"
He stammered, and looked in the direction of Mt. Hiei.
"And that old immortal thing didn't even break through the seal, it's not good."
He was about to leave.
Suddenly.
He noticed a man standing behind him.
There is no sense of approaching, the other party just stands like this.
Or rather, waiting for him.
Yes, this man just stood here until he came here by special means.
The moonlight peeked out of the clouds and illuminated the other side's appearance.
Dressed in a blue and white hunting suit and showing a harmless smile from humans and animals, it is none other than the priest of Harumei Shrine, Takashi Arai.
“!”
He was about to make a move subconsciously, but Takashi Arai spoke again.
"The incident at Mt. Hiei has been resolved, if you make a move now, do you have the confidence to escape the pursuit of so many adults in Kyoto?"
He was stunned for a moment, but finally suppressed the killing intent.
"Who are you?"
was able to predict his escape route, and the priest in front of him, although he seemed to be weak, did not seem to be underestimated.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm just a nameless pawn, the point is, who put me here."
Arai Taka's face became serious at this moment, and under the moonlight, there was a bit of fox cunning.
"The one in the Yin Yang Liao?"
His face turned gloomy.
Who doesn't know that this generation of Yin Yang Liao has produced an unborn genius, comparable to the strongest soul killer after Abe Eye, and his divination ability is unparalleled.
Qingming Shrine is already closely related to Yinyangliao, and it is not surprising that the priest in front of him will know that one.
"All this that happened in Kyoto, the young master of my family had already anticipated, including the fact that you instigated those humans who were affected by the strange to try to break the seal, but in fact it was just to create chaos and go to the Kyoto Imperial Palace to take away that thing, of course, including the fact that the weirdness does not cause a catastrophe, and in this riot, no one will even die."
"Planning a conspiracy, the most important thing is not to be leaky and foolproof, but to achieve the goal no matter what, the young master of my family said, this conspiracy of yours is barely passing compared to the one in Atsuta Shrine."
Takashi Arai spoke straightforwardly, but every time he said a paragraph, the other party's face became more and more ugly.
"The young master arranged for me to be here instead of a bunch of soul killers, I think you can understand his intentions."
"What does he want?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"He wants to play a game of chess with you."
Takashi Arai smiled.
"Playing chess?"
He was stunned.
It was the first time a human had said such a thing to him.
Just human.
He even wanted to laugh a little.
"The young master of my family said that he is looking forward to fighting you in October."
Arai Taka's next sentence made the other party unable to laugh at all.
He took a deep look at Takashi Arai.
He left and never looked back.
Takashi Arai stood in place, looking up at the full moon.
"How do I get down the mountain?"
He annoyed.
The commotion on the last day of the Except for the Spirit Martial Arts, finally subsided in the middle of the night.
Thanks to the timely response of Qiao Qiao and the shrine maidens of Shimogamo Shrine, the ritual used to break the seal was not completed.
The great youkai buried deep under Mt. Hiei has returned to the seal.
After that, the Kyoto Soul Killer Association conducted a search and re-investigation of Mt. Hiei.
Although the result did not come out, it is at least certain that the big monster sealed here is at least a monster from ancient times that existed before the emergence of human civilization.
This level of youkai is so powerful that it can even affect the weather.
In addition, due to the age, the seal has also been loosened due to earthquakes and other reasons.
So the will of the youkai is able to affect some of the humans involved in it to some extent.
Perhaps this is the root cause of the tragedy that happened before Mt. Hiei.
More than 30 shrines, including Yasaka Shrine, were sealed with various temples in Kyoto, such as Onmyo-ryo.
At least for a short time, there is no need to worry about the seal being broken.
Due to his wonderful performance in the Soul Removal Exercise, as well as the use of rockets to destroy Sayama witnessed by many Soul Removal Masters.
Shimogamo Shrine has inexplicably become a place where Kyoto's major spiritual removal institutions compete to visit, exchange and learn.
There are also many young shrine maidens who have been recruited.
I saw the figure of those young shrine maidens standing in a military posture under the scorching sun.
Qiao Qiao was very pleased.
The reward of 1 million yen a day will arrive quickly.
It was the first time that the Kari of Qiao Bridge had eight figures.
In addition to the remuneration of Shimogamo Shrine.
The Kyoto Soul Removal Association, Riki Shrine, etc., also gave Qiao Qiao a lot of compensation.
The palace secretary of Riki Shrine even offered to let his daughter go to Tokyo to study with Qiao Qiao, but he politely refused.
"As a result, I didn't have a chance to see the fireworks festival this year."
On the back Shinkansen, Asano Riko looked out the window, quite lost.
Not only did I not see the firework, but I couldn't even see the fireworks set off by the teacher.
It's a pity.
"Suzuka saw it."
Suzuka, who was sitting on the other side, shook her legs and said.
"Suzuka and her friends wore kimonos to watch fireworks in Kamogawa, super - beautiful, hehe."
She was exaggerating.
"Do you want Suzuka to send you some photos?"
The relationship between the two of them is really good.
Qiao Qiao thought.
He picked up his phone and looked at the balance again.
A sense of satisfaction arises.
With this money, a lot of equipment can be updated, and you can also buy more powerful soul removal items.
To tell you the truth, after experiencing the new modern weapon at Shimogamo Shrine this time, Qiao Qiao will never forget that feeling.
Sure enough, having good gear makes things a lot easier.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao couldn't wait to talk to the boss.
However, Le received new news at this time.
It was sent by Miss Sakura.
She first greeted Qiao Qiao, who was about to return, and then said two things to Qiao Qiao.
The first is that because Qiao Qiao is very active in Kyoto, and at the same time sacrifices his precious summer vacation time, Kyoto decided to provide Qiao Qiao and his companions with a package trip to Hawaii, and the time is determined by Qiao Qiao.
"Hey, Hawaii, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!"
Suzuka shouted.
Qiao Qiao didn't pay much attention to Suzuka and continued to look at Le.
The second thing is the training of newcomers from the Tokyo Soul Removal Association.
Because Qiao Qiao successfully trained the originally weak Shimogashi Shrine to become the first place in the martial arts of the spirit removal.
Although people in Tokyo don't know the ins and outs of the matter, there are many people who want Qiao Qiao to be the senior and guide their children to complete the spirit removal work.
Sakura loves this is a child I know, Qiao San, don't take her badly.
Sakura said.
