Chapter 52: Shikigami
From the very beginning, Mo Chen actually didn't think that Kagura would really cooperate obediently, she just asked casually, and she would immediately reveal all the relevant information.
- That's unrealistic.
Although Kagura is the embodiment of the wind as a symbol of freedom, it is natural to pursue freedom and purity, and to soar freely in the vast sky that everyone dreams of.
To put it nicely, her dream is to be free, and she doesn't want to obey anyone's orders and accept anyone's control, even the creator she was born with.
To put it mildly, it is the nature of being born with two or five boys, and if you don't get freedom, you are doomed to betray......
However, she may betray her master in the future, just like she did in the original plot. She helps the White Boy and the others to resist, and tells Inuyasha and the others the secret of Naraku's heart, and is eventually killed by Naraku.
But that definitely won't be now, after all, she has only been born for a few days?
It turned out to be Naraku's doppelganger, so Kagura's heart has always been in Naraku's hands and controlled by it, so she has been passively following Naraku's orders, after all, it is the master she can't resist.
She has to successfully complete the task given to her by Naraku while avoiding the pursuit of many enemies provoked by Naraku, and at the same time prevent Naraku from crushing her heart at any time.
It wasn't until the end, unable to take it anymore, that she made up her mind to betray Naraku, and that was the first and last time she did so.
Mo Chen didn't know what kind of state Kagura was in now, but he was definitely not Naraku's doppelganger, but he didn't know what means Qu Ling Mo Chen used to create her.
But the situation is basically the same, maybe Kagura's heart was not pinched in Qu Ling Mo Chen's hands, maybe there were, who can say for sure.
However, the state connection of the "Arcane Link" will definitely not be lacking, and that will only make Qu Ling Mo Chen's control over it more concealed and safe, and absolutely deadly.
After all, what Mo Chen knew, Qu Ling Mo Chen also knew, not only intelligence knowledge, but also spell ability, both of them had the same degree of mastery of these things.
From the first time he saw Kagura, Mo Chen had already discovered the aura left behind by the reconstructed arcane link spell on the other party's body.
That's why he was sure that the reason why the other party would still appear was not because of Naraku's miraculous comeback again, but because of another masterpiece of his own.
It was precisely because of this that Kagura could not have betrayed now, and there was no reason for her to make up her mind so quickly......
Therefore, Mo Chen's plan from beginning to end was just to find a reason to hurt her, and then let her be injured "by luck" and not die, escape by "luck", and escape back to the base camp by "luck".
- This can be regarded as an indirect achievement of the goal, the purpose of letting her lead the way.
In order to disguise such a goal, Mo Chen not only asked her directly about the whereabouts of the five treasures at the beginning, but not about the whereabouts of the floating island.
And he also patiently cooperated with all the unwitting extras and acted in a scene, creating the feeling that she was not able to escape by taking the initiative to let her go, but because she was "finally easy", "dangerous and dangerous" and "lucky".
It's just that this link is also the most problematic -
Although the extras didn't know anything about it, and they worked hard, the gap in rank strength was really huge, just like a full-level tuba bullying a group of beginners who had just come out of the novice village......
As a result, the former not only entangled the latter, but also allowed one person to escape.
Perhaps Inuyasha would have thought it was because of luck and thought of various other reasons to explain it.
For example, Mo Chen is not the terrifying evil spirit, although he doesn't know the specific relationship between them, but the former may be far inferior in strength to the latter.
Therefore, it is not incomprehensible to be able to survive from his hands.
After all, after a simple confrontation, Inuyasha also had the illusion that the other party was not very strong, and even felt that if it wasn't for Kikyo intervening halfway, he would definitely have a good chance of winning......
Well, considering that he had only truly experienced the power of the Iron Shattering Tooth not long ago, and had taken this opportunity to slash down the Sesshomaru head-on for the first time, it was normal for him to have such an illusion of life.
It's not something hard to understand.
……
……
"Inuyasha may think so, but Qu Ling knows my true level, so he definitely won't think so, but he also knows that my soul is torn and my state is not completely ......."
Walking in the forest, Mo Chen explained, and looked around boredly, looking around at the scenery.
"But it's useless to rely on this, He doesn't believe it so easily, so he needs to divert His attention."
“……”
“……”
The shrine maiden behind her didn't speak, she lowered her long eyelashes, and she didn't even look at the road at all, but just walked slowly forward, carefully sensing something.
After a long while, she raised her head, and her dark eyes were as dark as jade.
"My Shikigami has just been destroyed, and he must have noticed my tracking...... What are you going to do next? If I need to, I can make some more paper cranes. ”
Her expression was very calm, and her slender jade hand appeared from the wide sleeve, gently holding a pile of rune paper.
"Shikigami destroyed?"
Mo Chen blinked at first, and then he thought in the direction of optimism as much as possible.
"My shadow is fine, which at least means that his attention was indeed diverted by your paper crane first...... Now it's up to me to see if my shadow will be discovered. ”
He looked at the pile of talisman paper in Kikyo's hand, and although he had seen it with his own eyes before, he still felt a wonderful feeling.
Folding a paper crane casually, you can turn into a god and come back to life, this ability is really ...... Tsk, if you think a little bit of brainstorming, does it mean that since such a simple way as origami can be used as a Shikigami dependence?
So if you want to be a doll or something, you can definitely do it!
If you think about it from another angle, figurines and life-size dolls can come to life, which is something that many otaku dream of? Although it is not really alive, it has become a special form of existence of Shikigami.
However, if you have a higher rank, you can have a certain amount of wisdom or even wisdom, and you can obey the orders of the envoys......
Is there any difference between this and coming back to life? Or is it better to say that it is not better?
“…… What are you thinking? ”
An ethereal voice interrupted Mo Chen's thoughts, and Kikyo raised his eyebrows slightly, and hid his hand in the sleeve of the wide witch suit.
I don't know why, she always felt that this guy's eyes were very rude just now, and he kept staring at his hand to see what was going on?
"I'm thinking about what I'm waiting for...... Ahem, no, I was just thinking, Shikigami or something is really convenient. ”
Mo Chen said casually, but he reacted immediately halfway through the sentence and quickly changed his words.
“……”
“……”
Kikyo looked at him deeply, there was no disbelief in his eyes, the long black hair behind her danced gently in the wind, and the ethereal voice sounded in the wind again-
"With your spiritual power, as long as you are willing to work hard in this area, it is very easy to make a difference...... Just like your sorcery skills. ”
She also felt strange, because this guy's bias was a bit serious, for example, about enchantments, Shikami, words and spirits, and so on, he basically didn't grasp it at all, and he wasn't even an entry-level person.
But in terms of pure magic, it is another extreme—vision, teleportation, illusion, clone...... He has mastered all kinds of spells that he has either heard of or never heard of.
Some spells are easy to understand, and they are also very helpful to her, but some spells have a particularly strange art style, and even involve the field of changing the caster's form of existence.
Kikyo couldn't understand what kind of crazy people or desperate circumstances would force someone to create such a dangerous technique.
"This, I am willing to work hard to be able to easily make a difference? Can this also be self-taught? ”
Mo Chen didn't know what the witch was thinking, he was just a little surprised by what the other party said.
The witch raised her eyebrows slightly, simply looked away, no longer looked at him, and just said softly: "If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." ”
"Uh, well, then please ask Master Kikyo for your advice."
Mo Chen thought about it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be no harm, anyway, there was no harm in mastering one more skill.
Shikigami refers to combat units that need to be obtained by the player in the game.
Summoning gods need to be summoned by consuming Shattered Charms, Mystic Charms, and Magatama respectively, and depending on the summoning medium consumed, you can obtain R-level Shikigami to SSR-level Shikigami respectively......
Wait, not to say this,
Shikami is actually under the order of the spiritual power, the spirit body or monster that is enslaved, and the spiritual power here is not limited to the occupation of the onmyoji, and the priest, witch or something is also in line with the requirements.
Even in different legendary systems, there are similar "settings", perhaps the essence is actually the same, but the principle mechanism is different, and the name is also different.
For example, the so-called demon envoy on the magic side, the legend of the dragon knight and other legends may also be similar to this special variant of the envoy relationship, and for example, there is also a saying about refining corpses and ghosts in the Chinese system......
Of course, this was just a simple judgment made by Mo Chen based on his increasingly refined occult knowledge, and it was not necessarily correct.
After all, he hadn't actually seen those things.
However, as a qualified shrine maiden—perhaps not qualified, but the most powerful shrine maiden of this era—Kikyo is proficient in the cultivation and mastery of relevant knowledge and skills.
She simply used a dozen pieces of rune paper just now, all of which were folded into paper cranes, and after injecting spiritual power, she made the lowest level of Shikami.
They are not very useful, they can be manufactured in simple batches, and they can stealthily track the target object, and depending on the amount of spiritual power injected, they can move over very long distances......
Although it has no combat power, it is not as good as the Dead Soul Worm, but it is better than being concealed, flexible and flexible, and the endurance is long enough.
In addition, the cost is low enough, and it is not a matter of doing thousands of them at once, and it can be used to track the traces of escaped Kagura.
However, now it seems that those tracking paper cranes were discovered in advance by Qu Ling Mo Chen, so they were directly cleaned up.
But this was originally an expected development, and the mere paper crane bullied Kagura, who was unable to move because of a serious injury, but he definitely couldn't hide Qu Ling's insight...... So this was meant to be used for cover.
The real "scout" is actually the shadow of Kagura, or the shadow of Mo Chen.
Kikyo's mastery of Shikigami is actually very scary, and if she has the heart, she can create a very powerful and intelligent Shikigami.
Even in the original plot, she made a paper doll out of her own hair when she was dying, and attached part of her soul to it, so powerful that she could easily shoot the white boy and force the demon horse Yanhoof to death, and was respected as a saint.
In a sense, it's also a kind of Shikigami, but it's just the level of SSR.
