Chapter 120: God's Turning Point and Temporary Labor
Just when the atmosphere was tense to the point of saber rattling, and it was almost about to fight, the results of the inspection finally came out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not an evil spirit." Isayama Naraku and Tsuchimiya Masaraku withdrew the hand on Pei Chen's arm almost at the same time, and said in unison with a strange expression. Pei Chen withdrew his arm that was washed by spiritual power to a little numb with some subtle expressions, and watched the state of [Spiritual Power Detection] in the status bar disappear, and finally relaxed a little.
"But there's still something wrong with that, isn't it?" Unlike the other people's relaxed performance, Jinguji Calamus was very keen to catch some unnaturalness in the language of the two top exorcists, and did not hide it, so he pointed it out directly. Take advantage of the best opportunity to solve all the problems at once, even if you can't solve it, at least let people know, so as not to break out in the future and try to solve it, but there is no such a good opportunity.
"That's right......" Isayama Naraku originally wanted to explain, but when he saw Tsuchimiya Masaraku taking the lead, he took a step back, after all, he was a real expert in this aspect.
"This little creature does hold the Killing Stone, and it has not been corrupted and degenerated into an evil spirit." As soon as he spoke, Tsuchinomiya Yale first set a tone, these heads of their families are all old and cunning masters, so they naturally know how to speak.
Bub...... Frowning slightly, Pei Chen glanced at the head of the Tugong family and did not speak.
"But...... He may really rely on his own obsession and willpower to resist the evil thoughts of the Killing Stone, and we have not found any sealing effect on the Killing Stone on him. And...... Although the Killing Stone did not succeed in assimilating him into an evil spirit, it did have a very, very deep and irreversible impact......" Tsuchimiya Masaraku said, and his exaggerated statement clearly caused a sense of tension among the crowd.
"What impact?"
"All the things that flow through his body are demonic power, not spiritual power."
"......" the crowd.
That's weird, isn't it? Humans can still possess the power of youkai?
"So what the hell is going on?" Jinguji Calamus frowned tightly, and said sharply, "Is it considered a person from our spiritual industry or an evil spirit camp?" β
"Of course, it's on our side, he can resist the erosion of the killing stone without falling, even if he has demonic power, he can be regarded as a top-level exorcist." Tsuchimiya Masaraku directly made a hammer deal, defining the nature of this matter.
Then, he and Isayama Naraku glanced at each other inexplicably, and sparks came out of the air, looking like they were about to turn their faces. I can see that Pei Chen's children's shoes are a little unclear, so shouldn't these two brothers be good friends for a lifetime? Why does it look like you're ready to turn your face again?
The next god unfolded, but it made him understand.
"Little guy, are you interested in joining the Tugong family?" Tsuchimiya Masaraku.
"Mr. Pei Chen, what do you think of my niece?!" Naraku Isayama.
The two old guys spoke almost at the same time, as if they were rushing to win cash on those reality TV shows, for fear that it would be too late. And after hearing that the other party actually said the same, he suddenly became angry, and began to blow his beard and stare at each other:
"You guy, as soon as you open your mouth, you want people to get involved, doesn't it seem too much?"
"You are! Old fellow, don't think I'm going to let you ...... if I'm acquainted with you Your niece just went to see someone else today! Didn't you think about the feelings of young people at all? β
"It's funny, listening to what you said, did you consider his feelings when you put him in trouble?"
"You know what, old fellow! Our family can choose an heir to Kagura......"
ββ¦β¦β
Jinguji Calamus: "......"
Nikaido Kiri: "......"
Pei Chen: "......"
it! I can't imagine that I will also enjoy the treatment of the protagonist one day! Although there was something wrong with the way it was opened, Pei Chen still almost didn't shed tears of emotion, could it be said that today was the turning point for him to turn over and become the protagonist? He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the two girls next to him, and in an instant, he calmed down.
Isayama Huangquan didn't know what he was thinking with a complicated expression, and Isayama, this girl seemed to be even calmer, as if she hadn't heard anything, sitting there quietly, her expression was extremely serious, as if nothing could move her.
It's normal that the exorcist family also needs to work hard to maintain the glory of the family, and this premise is that there are talents of high quality and quantity - there is no doubt that Pei Chen meets their standards very well.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Half an hour later.
In the end, Pei Chen still didn't promise either party, and he made a very rational choice. After all, putting aside other factors, Pei Chen found that no matter which side he chose, it was a very dangerous situation. Needless to say, Tsuchinomiya Kagura, she and Sister Huangquan are true love! And Isayama, although it is also very good, but it has been less than an hour since we met, and it is impossible to think about it at all.
However, instead of reciprocating the strange kindness, he chose to become a temporary employee in the countermeasure room, and made it clear that the reward he needed was a fragment of the Killing Stone. And I don't know what the reason is, Jinguji Calamus actually agreed, but said that he had to inform the upper authorities before he could really make a decision.
"If you really want to kill the stone, you shouldn't say it. What exactly do you want to do? β
In the room specially vacated for the new exorcist combination, Isayama Huangquan said to Pei Chen, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Oh, because my real goal is to kill the stone! In this case, sooner or later it will be exposed, so it is better to take the initiative to take a stand first, at least to eliminate some of the hostility and suspicion first, right? Pei Chen smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, raised the cup in his hand and took a sip of tea, and then gestured to Isayama, "The tea is very delicious, Miss Isayama's tea art is very good." β
"Senior Pei Chen, just call me the underworld." Isayama turned his clear gaze to Pei Chen, smiled shallowly, and added another cup of tea to him very elegantly, with a hint of bewitching beauty on his pale face.
"Poof...... Ahem, eh? Former...... Predecessor? Pei Chen coughed repeatedly, looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, and stretched out his index finger to point at himself in disbelief, "Me?" I'm not a senior......"
"Obviously, he has such excellent strength, and he can also use his own will to fight against the power of the Killing Stone...... Seniors, of course. β
"No, no, no, you misunderstood......" Pei Chen waved his hand again and again.
"Senior, you are humble."
ββ¦β¦β
At this moment, Pei Chen was speechless, while Isayama Huangquan secretly covered his mouth and snickered on the side.
"By the way, Senior Pei Chen, can I ask a rude question?" Isayama suddenly looked at her with a serious face, looked directly at the eyes that were almost the same color as hers, and asked in a loud voice.
Uh, now that you know it's rudeness, do you still ask? Pei Chen silently praised his complaint in his heart, and hesitated for a while before nodding: "You ask, but let me explain in advance, if it is some kind of question that I don't want to answer or can't answer, I won't be so cooperative......"
What a male creature with no grace to speak of...... Isayama Huangquan muttered in a low voice beside him, but it seemed that he was very respectful and afraid of his nominal cousin, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, but he was just embarrassed to be heard by Pei Chen's ear, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.
"I wonder, why do you need a killing stone? This is, after all, an evil force. β
"Ha, you've crossed the line with this question!" Pei Chen yawned, then rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, no one could see his eyes, and said in a casual tone, "If you have to say a reason, it is probably ...... I had a reason to get it, and I would pay with my life for it...... That's how it should be! β
That's right! If you can't collect the full version of the Killing Stone after five missions, the price you have to pay is your life!
Speaking of which, Pei Chen's answer is very perfunctory, the meaning is blurred and the boundaries are ambiguous, but it is very useful. The two girls thought of what Tsuchimiya Masaraku said before-"I don't know what unforgettable past I have experienced, so that I have unimaginable obsessions, and I have even become a part of my will, inseparable, and my heart is firm and can never be shaken by anything"...... They all nodded and stopped asking, obviously making up something in their brains.
"Although I can't agree with your predecessors' obsessions and practices, I still have to say more." Isayama Ming maintained a sitting posture and looked at Pei Chen with a serious expression, "Joining the countermeasure room does not allow you to obtain the Killing Stone. β
"Oh? Won't even give me a piece? Your head of the room is too picky, right? Pei Chen frowned, as if he was beginning to consider whether it was too late to submit his resignation letter.
"No, I mean it's impossible for you to get a complete killing stone, because no one wants to see the resurrection of the Nine-Tails, which is completely incapable of the current human race. So, the head of the room and the uncle may give you shards, but it is absolutely impossible for you to make up enough real killing stones. β
"Actually, according to my thoughts, the most you can get here in the strategy room is to get one more piece by yourself, and even if you join the Tsuchinomiya family, you can get one more piece at most...... There are a total of nine killing stones, but the four you have are estimated to be the bottom line of patience in the entire spiritual industry. As he was talking, Isayama suddenly glared at the black-haired girl, causing Huang Quan to swallow back the words he wanted to say.
"Really? Actually, I think the same way......" A little tangled in agreement, Pei Chen cautiously sat closer to the side of Ishan Ming, and then turned his head back to look at Huangquan. Just now, when Isayama said that when he entered the Tugong family, he obviously felt a cold murderous aura.
The black-haired girl's eyes just now were almost radiating a terrifying red light, and it looked like a rampaging first machine, and it seemed that it was very likely that a knife would be drawn in anger and that there would be no future trouble.
However, it's not the countermeasure room that has a backhand! Of course, Pei Chen knew that he couldn't get all the killing stone fragments through the countermeasure room, he just wanted to get as much information as possible about the distribution of all the killing stones, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to join this semi-official organization. Compared with Santuhe and Hong, with the help of the government, it is the fastest way to find out all the fragments, and there is no one.
He glanced slightly over the windowsill, and an ice-blue butterfly was flying away, without alarming anyone. Therefore, I also have a backhand!
Just when Isayama Huangquan was about to say something, the high-power communication radio in the countermeasure room suddenly rang urgently!
"The command center of the Super Natural Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters informs all members of the countermeasures office ......"
