Chapter 45: Reunion

At present, Mu Xiu still has three side quests released by the "Main God" light ball-

The three goals are to eliminate the little ghost of Santuhe and Hong, collect all the killing stones, and find out the "truth" of the ruins, but Mu Xiu has never been able to complete it immediately.

Because they either require a lot of time and energy to carry out the work of screening and investigation, and if there is a large amount of work, they need just the right amount of luck, and there is no other way.

Therefore, it can only be put on hold there for the time being—

For example, for Mu Xiu, the little ghost head of Santuhe and Hong is not only good at playing intrigue and tricks, but also has first-class means of escaping, and the most troublesome thing is his vigilance and thick skin.

For example, after ordinary people have suffered losses at the hands of others, regardless of whether they have learned a lesson or not, they will at least have thoughts and want to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

But the evil spirit imp was good, after finding out that Mu Xiu had become extremely dangerous, he was directly injured and fled, and finally picked up a small life to go back, and since then he has not appeared in front of Mu Xiu again.

This cowardice is simply fresh and refined, and Mu Xiu is also very speechless about this, after all, if Santuhe and Hiroshi appear in his line of sight, he can completely kill the other party in an instant, but ......

Anyway, this task is interrupted, and I don't know when I will hope to complete it for the time being.

As for the difficulties of the other two tasks, not to mention the exploration of underground ruins, the amount of work is beyond imagination. And for the remains of a geographical fragment that is said to be an ancient mythological era, the years have worn away too many valuable clues.

At present, the spiritual industry in the Kanto region has been paying almost most of its attention recently. But until now—

In addition to the discovery and completion of the orthodox rune script, there is also the discovery of the basic combination formula of the rune sequence one after another, which can effectively make up for the lack of the essence of the secret runes inherited by most of the exorcists in the current spiritual industry, there are no other meaningful discoveries.

However, the number of casualties caused by the continuous excavation and cleaning of prehistoric ruins increases somewhat every few days, perhaps by the relevant government workers, or by real exorcists......

Roughly estimated, the casualties cost of excavating the entire ruins can make the current psychic industry suffer to death, but they are constantly piling people up one after another, exchanging the blood and tears of the present for the possibility of future growth.

As for the collection of killing stones, it is not necessarily easy to go anywhere.

After all, this is not just the world view of "Food Spirit", there are also various other strange story lines or should be said to be intertwined with "fate", maybe before Mu Xiu arrived, everyone was just parallel lines that did not affect each other, and they just continued according to their own rhythm.

But now, who would dare to believe that everything is going straight along a world line?

……

……

Shinjuku Station, Minamiji.

Takashimaya Times Square.

"Wait, then again, the killing stone seems to have been brought over there by Zi, and I forgot to ask her to come back at that time......"

Mu Xiu seemed to remember something, covering his face with one hand, and sighed very weakly. He climbed up into the air step by step, as if there was an invisible staircase in the air to support his steps.

He didn't hide his actions at all, and the accident didn't seem to be an accident anyway. At least the official response was very fast, to be precise, the Tokyo superintendent's operation was so efficient that it was unscientific, and in only about ten minutes, the surrounding crowd had basically been evacuated.

And the site blockade and information control have been implemented -

There may be a few people who didn't have time to evacuate or be found for various reasons, but it's already a normal thing.

Because no one would think that every supernatural disaster accident can be 100% hidden from all the ordinary people affected, and it is still acceptable if a few ordinary people know. Anyway, the vast majority of people have already been evacuated, and if only a few people see the "truth", there is no need to worry at all.

After all, no one will believe what they say.

Fourteen stories tall is already terrifying, and the winds from all sides of the building will stir each other to form a whirlpool, and then disperse in all directions. Mu Xiu's clothes were all puffing in the hunting wind, but that didn't even make his body shake a little.

It's like a road to the sky under your feet, and it's the most stable way to walk.

So he climbed all the way to the height, step by step, into the air that was level with the height of the roof. After just glancing at it, Mu Xiu was already frowning.

The roof of the mall was already covered in thick black smoke, and almost nothing could be seen in the field of vision, not even the flash of flames.

But the black smoke grew thicker with the passage of time, almost reaching into the sky, and from a distance, it even made people think that the entire commercial building was burning, or that some plane had crashed into the middle of the roof of the building.

This situation is very strange, and he has expanded a wide area of breath perception to seek the enemy, Mu Xiu has not been able to accurately lock on to the enemy's position in such a place the size of a tofu block-

Only a certain spiritual field reaction and spiritual pressure diffused, and the aura belonging to the killing stone loomed in it, as if it were absent.

"Interesting ......"

As soon as he stepped on the ground on the roof of the building, Mu Xiu seemed to notice something strange, but at this time, the sound of the helicopter's propeller spinning rapidly had finally reached his head, and the wind pressure blew away the smoke near a large clearing on the edge of the roof.

Mu Xiu didn't care, he just walked forward, he was now clearly showing that the chariot and horse were coming to get this killing stone, so naturally he wouldn't want to cover it up or be polite to them or anything first.

It's just that he doesn't want to intersect with the countermeasure room, but some people are not willing to give up such an opportunity easily.

"Lord Mu Xiu, Gui'an...... I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

The pink parasol unfolded lightly, the silver hair flew up, and the exorcist girl fell gracefully beside Mu Xiu, and the posture naturally put away the parasol and tidied up the hair that had become slightly messy because it fell from the sky, and the simple sky-blue kimono on her body.

“…… I didn't expect to run into you here, Miss Isayama. ”

Mu Xiu just glanced at her slightly, and walked past her without stopping, and only then did a few exclamations come from behind him.

Then there was the sound of two helicopters descending one after the other, and fortunately the quality of the building was up to par and the roof area was huge enough, otherwise......

Anyway, someone unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Just call me Immortal, and I'll be glad to call me by my name, Lord Muxiu. Besides, Huangquan is also here, so it might be a little confusing to just call the last name......"

The silver-haired exorcist girl turned around and gestured to her companions who had not yet fully landed, then followed with a smile and said.

"Miss Ming, I remember that you didn't seem to join the countermeasure room, why did you follow this time?" Mu Xiu asked casually, reaching out to disperse the smoke in front of him by the way.

Isayama quickly caught up with him, walked side by side with Mu Xiu, and said respectfully and gently, "Yes, I'm just a free exorcist registered with the Ministry of the Environment, and I have no plans to join the countermeasure room for the time being...... This time I only came as a foreign aid, because ......"

She paused, first looking back, and then continued pointedly—

"Because the attraction of the killing stone is too great, the Kino family has been planning for this opportunity for a long time, not only is the countermeasure room very defensive against them, but even the opinion of the head of the Isayama family is to prevent the Kino family from succeed......ing as much as possible."

"Avoid the wild family? Is it the Kino family that came this time? ”

Mu Xiu was curious now, he remembered that this one was the opposing villain-like camp in the original story line of "Soul Eater", but now it seems that the two sides are not completely hostile, and there is a position between you and me?

"Yes, the forbidden spell Dao Ji Ye family, claiming to be the strongest in spells, the exorcists of this clan have been pursuing for generations to master ......the true thunder method," Isayama smiled lightly, "Although it is still a decent exorcist family on the surface, it has unconsciously shifted to the gray realm in recent years. ”

"Gray areas? Is it a rat? Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of some special terms in the spiritual industry that Egremiya Isumi and himself had said.

The meaning of "rat" refers to those evil exorcists who have completely embarked on the evil path and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and almost everyone shouts and beats them. Mu Xiu had killed a large number of people who came to his door before, and cleaned up the local spiritual industry circle in Tokyo.

As a result, the atmosphere of Tokyo's local spiritual industry circles has been greatly improved.

"It's not that far, but there is already that trend, many people feel that they have taken the wrong path, if they get the killing stone again, it is really possible that the Jiye family will complete that short process of degeneration in the current generation."

The exorcist girl smiled and whispered, not helping the Kino family to cover up, but also not deliberately splashing dirty water.

"Then why don't you just stop this from happening?"

Mu Xiu felt a little confused, he glanced back, and then his eyes changed slightly.

Because unconsciously, the vision behind him was also surrounded by black smoke, and when his perception was extended, he only sensed an empty and never-ending end.

Wait, how big is the area of the roof of this building? In total, I only walked out less than 100 meters away, right?

"This is naturally because the law can only convict for actions, not for ideas." Isayama reluctantly explained, "And the existence of the Killing Stone has a special status in the spiritual industry, just like the Tsuchinomiya family, any registered decent exorcist is qualified to obtain it." ”

It's always people who kill people, not knives or guns, and not all exorcists think that the killing stone must be sealed, like the countermeasure room.

After all, the meaning of existence of "seals" is used to break them from the beginning of their birth. Many people feel that it is better to use this dangerous spiritual object to cure evil spirits than to tie their hands and feet and throw rats and traps.

Retracting his gaze, Mu Xiu looked at the slightly pale face of the silver-haired exorcist girl: "The reason why you-the reason why you came to help the strategy room is also to kill the life stone, right?" ”

"Yes, Lord Muxiu." Isayama didn't deny it, with a calm expression: "The head of the Jingu Temple is worried that the Jino family will use some unseemly means, so I hope I can come to help, and the reward is the killing stone." ”

Although Jinguji Calamus belongs to the kind of person who holds the view that "sealing the killing stone is the best way", she is not a pedantic character, and she prefers that the killing stone will be mastered by the exorcist who is familiar to her and close to the strategy room than the result that the killing stone may fall into the forbidden spell Dao Jino family.

This is an insurance option.
