Chapter 40: Misunderstandings in Various Senses
Among the legends passed down from generation to generation in the 11th district, there is the legend of the so-called "Three Great Monsters".
It means that there are three of the most powerful monsters, which are the well-known Wine Swallowing Boy, the Nine-Tailed Fox Tamamo and the Great Tengu-
In a sense, it's all SSR!
- And the demons represented by these three names can be said to be the three most "evil" evil ghosts in the legends of the entire Eleventh District from ancient times to the present, as for the other demons, no matter what the famous demons are, they have to be lower than these "three monsters" out of thin air.
It's just that it's a very old legend after all.
You must know that the wine swallow boy is said to be the king of the hundred ghosts who was active in the Heian period, and the nine-tailed fox Tamamo is also a legend at the end of the Heian period, and it is also related to Emperor Toba, history and legend are intertwined, and the big tengu is said to be the posthumous incarnation of Emperor Toba's eldest son, Emperor Shotoku......
In other words, the legends about the three yokai are basically very strange and invariably concentrated in this period of the Heian period......
This is the last historical era in the history of District 11 that can be defined as "ancient".
And for modern people or those professionals in the spiritual industry, it is a long time ago that cannot be examined. Moreover, this kind of whole set of rumors about someone, something or a certain place can generally only be recorded by word of mouth in ancient times.
As a result, legends are often unreliable, as the events described are in the distant past.
Therefore, even the mainstream concept of the current spiritual industry cannot be sure whether there really was a so-called "monster" in ancient times, or that the "evil spirits" that the exorcists are fighting against are actually ancient "monsters"? Anyway, it's completely impossible to investigate such a thing, but the only thing that is certain is-
The origin of evil spirits is the concept of something called the "Killing Stone".
And the "Killing Stone" happens to be said to be the nine-tailed fox Yuzao who was dying before he turned into a ......
However, such research topics have always been the most difficult to overcome in the field of mind, such as "the significance of the world's seven major problems for the development of the field of mathematics" and "the significance of why girls are angry for the development of human beings". She only needs to know that the young man in front of her does not have a murderous thing like a killing stone on his body.
However, this is not necessarily good news.
Egret Palace Yi Cheng only knew that when he saw Mu Xiu leave the scene, he was covered in bruises and had a broken arm, but by the time he found the door, the other party had fully recovered, at least on the outside, he couldn't see that he had just experienced a tragic fight.
Although the other party left very fast, he couldn't catch up at all and got lost several times on the way, but the added time was only half an hour at most. And what can be done in half an hour?
- There are many things that can be done in half an hour, but it is definitely not enough for a person with extensive abrasions all over his body and a broken arm to deal with all the injuries on his body, and completely heal and return to the state before the injury......
After all, you have to know that it will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, why do you have no girlfriend...... Oh no, it's a broken arm, but it only takes half an hour to recover?!
The kimono girl didn't think that this boy had personally mastered such a miraculous power, so naturally there was only one explanation, he achieved such a miracle with the help of external powers.
And what can cause such an effect, as far as she knows, seems to be only able to do it with the Killing Stone, but the soul of the person who holds that kind of murderous thing will be eroded, and the self and body will gradually be destroyed, and eventually become an evil spirit-like existence. However, the other party also did not have the kind of evil aura that belonged to the Killing Stone, and there was not even any additional aura left.
This made Egret Palace Isumi feel very confused and entangled.
Because this is likely to be another unknown thing that possesses the same power as the Killing Stone, and because it is unknown, it will probably only be more dangerous than the Killing Stone that all people in the Psychic Industry are secretly wary of.
She didn't know what it was, and she wasn't even sure it really existed.
But she felt compelled to try to make sure.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Mu Xiu naturally didn't know that the impression in front of him was that she was a natural girl, and she had taken so many questions into account.
But even if he thought of it, he would still choose to reject the other party's proposal in the same way, the internal force he had mastered before and the domineering breakthrough in battle had already brought him to a more dangerous situation. In the future, he will only put aside his internal strength and domineering training, and instead concentrate on improving his electromagnetic manipulation ability.
Otherwise, if the internal force or domineering spirit really breaks through to a level that is enough to be called "mysterious" first, he will be in trouble. The power that can really be attributed to the magic side will conflict with superpowers, and if superpowers are reluctant to use mysterious powers such as magic, they will have a rejection reaction, and magicians will be limited in the use of magic after receiving superpower development.
Just like Tuyumen Yuanchun, at that time, if Mu Xiu didn't want to be in a state of "injury" or "about to be injured" all the time, he would probably have to consider giving up one of the powers......
So in such a situation, of course, Mu Xiu would spare no effort to refuse the proposal of Egret Palace Yicheng, after all, spiritual healing was definitely not a good choice for him, and it was likely that it would only make him more injured. It doesn't matter if you fight against the power of the mysterious side or occasionally touch it in peacetime, but if you let the mysterious power into your body without resistance at all, Mu Xiu has every reason to believe that this will inevitably lead to the occurrence of the repulsion effect.
"Okay, that, that...... Mr. Musiu, is there anything you need me to do? The kimono girl's voice said weakly.
The boy shook his head decisively, "No, and it really doesn't need to, Miss Saginomiya-"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something temporarily, and looked at the kimono girl: "But if I can, I do have one thing, I hope Miss Saginomiya you can help, it is about evil spirits......"
Mu Xiu suddenly remembered that if the other party's family belonged to that kind of exorcism family, it seemed that he should be able to give himself enough support in terms of information infested by evil spirits. If you just rely on your own actions, it is really a special situation that you can encounter the first scene of Type B high-level evil spirits and supernatural natural disaster destruction activities like today.
And if he could get accurate information in advance, not only would he be able to plan his actions better, but he would definitely not be like today, crashing headlong into the scene only to find that the threat of the enemy is completely beyond his imagination.
"What are you talking about, why are you standing here?!"
But at this moment, a voice like a clear spring sounded, and I saw that Gui Daisy had already walked over with a checklist in front.
And Mu Xiu was silent for a moment, and Egremiya Yicheng, who had just shown a listening look, raised one sleeve and gently covered his mouth.
The two of them stopped this topic very tacitly, and they also confirmed very tacitly that the other party and themselves were the characters in the spiritual industry. Gui Daisy doesn't know much about this, she can't say that she doesn't know anything, but she can't say how much she knows, and she probably doesn't want to enter this so-called "dark world".
In light of this, it is better to avoid her for some things, even if she actually knows the identities of both of them.
"Ahem, Daisy-san, can I still save my illness?"
Looking at the expression on Gui Daisy's face that came over, Mu Xiu's faint worry in his heart was directly put down, it seemed that there was probably no problem with his physical condition, as for various functional overdrafts and organ failure, they should not have been detected, or they did not exist, otherwise the other party would not have such a calm expression.
"It's hopeless, you can go now." Gui Daisy replied angrily.
"There is nothing wrong with the body, but according to the X-rays, your ribs are not damaged, but the soft tissues or intercostal nerves between the costals are injured-" A gray-haired elderly doctor who came out smiled heartily and took over the topic, "But overall, there is nothing too bad, do you have any pain in your chest, intercostal space or abdomen?" Whether it's normal activities or because of oppression or stimulation, ......"
"Uh, this is ββ?"
Mu Xiu looked at the pink-haired girl, his eyes expressing doubts very well.
Katsura Daisy reached out and stroked the long pink hair on the back of her head, "This is Dr. Ryunosuke Igarashi, and this clinic was opened by himself after accumulating enough experience...... Dr. Ryunosuke is very famous in our neighborhood and in the neighborhood, and I usually choose to come here to see if I have any illness or injury, as long as it is not a big problem. β
Her meaning is obvious, that is, to tell Mu Xiu that anyone with any minor illness or injury can come here in the future.
"Heh, it's not too famous, if it's really a serious problem, I suggest it's better to go to a big hospital......" The gray-haired old doctor laughed, "The equipment there is more professional, and the manpower is enough, so you yourself are more at ease, isn't it?" β
I think as long as I have a big ball of light, I feel the most at ease.
Mu Xiu subconsciously scolded in his heart, then stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek, as if he was seriously thinking about something, before answering Dr. Ryunosuke's previous question.
"In this case, then the problem should be even smaller, and judging from your physical condition, you may not even need to prescribe medicine......"
After listening carefully to Mu Xiu's reply, the gray-haired old doctor said in a serious tone: "But here I still want to remind you, what you really need is to rest and recuperate, although your body is very healthy, but this kind of health is originally based on a cruel realityββ"
"Huh?"
Such a statement suddenly made Mu Xiu's heart rise, could it be that there was really something wrong with his physical condition?
"Even for the top athletes, it's a lot of pain to keep your body fat percentage in the single digits." Dr. Ryunosuke's eyes suddenly became a little strange, "It represents high-intensity exercise day after day, strict dietary rules, and ascetic life......
"Your words are the strangest person I have ever met, generally speaking, the body fat rate that can see the basic muscle lines fluctuates between 12% and 15%, and the body fat percentage of people who can't see any muscle lines like this should normally be higher than 20 percent...... But the strange thing is that after measurement, your body fat percentage is only 7%, although I don't have hydrostatic weight measurement, DEXA scans and other conditions here, but the estimate is always not very big, and your body fat content is indeed only in the pitiful single digits. β
Speaking of this, the gray-haired elderly doctor paused, looked at the three people who were almost sluggish opposite, and no longer had any special tone, but only expressed a sense of proximity:
"At a young age, the body fat content is in the pitiful single digits...... Such a miserable life, maybe death is a kind of relief! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
That's about the way it went anyway.
After Mu Xiu and Egret Palace Yicheng separated, and then watched Gui Daiju send this easily lost girl away, he returned home alone, and then gritted his teeth and cleaned up all the blood stains......
After all this was done, it was already approaching evening again.
