It was finally dawn.

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a report document is on the desk of Eizaburo Kamei, the director of alerts.

"I won't look at anything, I've been answering phone calls and telegrams all night."

Kamei, who was over fifty years old, fell back on his back in an American-style office chair, moved the thumb of his right index finger to the bridge of his nose, pinched his eyes and acupoints heavily, looking overtired, and waved his other hand quite casually.

"Be concise and get straight to the point."

He wasn't lying.

Since returning home last night, there have been calls from the daimyo and descendants of the Gong clan in the Edo period to his house to intercede for the ghost killing team, and insist that such a thing as "oni" does exist, and that the ban on the ghost killing team should be lifted as soon as possible, and the people should be released as soon as possible, and do not delay them in killing ghosts, otherwise the Japanese people will definitely be miserable.

Among them are not only the sons of Tokugawa Yoshiki, the shogunate, but even the god of Ise Jingu, that is, the uncle of the wife of the head of the demon killing team, the man who stands at the top of the Japanese priesthood.

Among the Japanese clergy, I am afraid that only the emperor, who considers himself a god, can be a head above him in status.

Such a person calls him a warning director who seems to have a lot of power, how can he not deal with it carelessly.

However, in the end, he did not give any effective promises, only said that he would handle the case of the ghost killing team impartially, and asked them to be calm.

However, the request for the Oni Slayer was personally issued by a cabinet member, Army General Masashi Terauchi, a high-achieving student who had studied in Europe, and he scoffed at the existence of the oni, and regarded the Oni Slayer as a shogunate legacy, that is, something that had to be eliminated.

Sandwiched between the powerful and the respected old aristocrats, it simply made Kamei Eizaburo a head and eight big, and he really wanted to resign on the spot.

But he can also see clearly that the emperor's return to heaven is almost a matter of the past two years. However, the real political power has been alternating between the Satsuma and Cheung Chau factions.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let people go easily because some of the great nobles of the old era intercede and exert pressure.

"It's really troublesome, what kind of person, ghost, can't you live in peace? It's been a year or two since I left my job! ”

The existence of the ghost killing team, as the warning director, of course, has always known about it, but he has never seen such a thing as ghosts.

However, as a traditional Japanese, he has always had a rather trustworthy attitude towards ghosts and gods, so he has always turned a blind eye to the blatant knife actions of the ghost killers.

Previously, he also arranged for his subordinates: there is no need to deliberately embarrass the people of the ghost killing team, as long as they are willing to give money, they will be released, and in this way, they will win the hearts of the grassroots police.

But this time, it actually happened that a member of the ghost killing team (no miserable pretence) killed ordinary people in the embassy district in front of the army general, and this is really a big deal.

He, the warning director, can only take one step at a time, otherwise the slightest carelessness will ruin his political career. After all, once the matter gets to the emperor and the world, he will definitely be the first to take the blame and resign.

His deputy saw that Kamei Eizaburo didn't want to say more, so he respectfully replied: "All the members of the ghost killing team who were arrested yesterday were interrogated overnight by the police officers on duty at the Metropolitan Police Department, but they were not able to get any effective information from the official members of the organization. On the contrary, many police officers involved in the interrogation had contact with them and were even willing to vouch for them. ”

"Huh?"

Eizaburo Kamei took his palm off his head and said in a very displeased tone.

"Interrogating the ghost killers and asking them to hand over the murderer who killed in the street two days ago is an order from the cabinet, what is the use of asking them petty civil servants to vouch?"

"They don't want to judge, so they go to the group of people who are willing to judge! Serve Lao Tzu's bowl and smash Lao Tzu's pot. These souls, if you like to be a good person and give favors so much, don't do this policeman! ”

After venting, Kamei Eizaburo also calmed down a little: "Let's not talk about this first." Let me ask you, have there been any casualties among the police officers who carried out the arrest? Did the arrest process go smoothly or not? ”

He had to have enough reason to keep these team members in prison, and there had to be solid evidence of the crime, otherwise he would give the old nobles a reason to interfere in this matter.

The deputy immediately replied: "The members of this organization seem to have received relevant training, and anyone who did not succeed in the race was directly disarmed." It is said that according to the team rules, they will not harm humans. However, last night, there was a reserve member of the ghost killing team, and after confronting a patrol team with a knife, he caused a lot of riots in Yoshiwara, and his attitude was very bad after he was arrested. ”

"Look at it, look at it!"

Kamei Eizaburo knocked on the table in pain, "Even a civil society organization is more disciplined than you!" What Yoshiwara's patrolman? How did I not know that you also have patrol missions in Yoshiwara at night? Isn't it always the responsibility of the businessmen themselves to keep the safety there? Several times it has been expressly forbidden, as long as no one takes the initiative to call the police, tell the people below not to run to Yoshihara in police uniforms, now it's good! ”

"I'm so sorry! This is all a dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates! ”

The deputy immediately bowed and pleaded guilty.

Bow and apologize and then don't change, Kamei Eizaburo has met a lot in the country, and his face is full of impatience.

"Alright, alright. Tell me, how did that reserve member, a man with a knife, fight against a team of policemen with guns? ”

The so-called one team, then there are at least six people and three pistols.

"Yes. It is understood that the group seems to teach members a unique school of martial arts that can greatly improve physical potential. The man arrested last night was not yet a full member, but he was able to easily jump on the roof and walk the wall. According to a police officer who was proficient in kendo, the man had used a katana to easily cut through the 30-centimeter-wide wooden load-bearing pillars in the Yunu's house, more powerful than some officially recognized masters of the genre. ”

"If it weren't for his own mistake and falling off the roof and being shot in the leg, the police wouldn't have been able to catch him. However, after this person was arrested, he was very rampant, and claimed that if he practiced for a few more years, he would definitely be able to kill everyone in a single breath. ”

"Oh?"

Kamei Eizaburo, who is also a descendant of samurai, was a little interested when he heard this, "Is there such a thing?" What is this person's name, how many years has he been learning kendo, and how old is he this year? ”

"That's the most amazing part. This person's name is Daoyu Yuyue, he is sixteen years old this year, and he has been practicing the sword for less than a year. ”

"Hiss......"

Eizaburo Kamei naturally understood what this meant, "Are you sure it wasn't those guys who deliberately exaggerated when they reported it?" ”

"When I received the report, my subordinates had already confirmed that the seven police officers involved in the arrest were completely unified, but this is not a big deal, and there is no need for everyone to exaggerate the force of the prisoner like this."

"Good, good, good."

Eizaburo Kamei stood up.

"It's good that there are special cases against our police, I'm afraid that they won't make any mistakes, so I can't explain to those old guys. Also, since this person is not a regular member, you don't have to worry so much, I don't care if you are coerced, lured, tortured, and do everything you can to get him to speak. While confirming his charges, it is also necessary to ask him how he came to be able to do so and whether there are any special learning conditions...... Finally, send a few people who have a good relationship with these ghost slayer team members, and go to them to verify how powerful the official team members are. ”

He turned, his eyes shining.

"If their abilities are really related to the cultivation of this school of martial arts, then we are really crooked this time, and we have picked up an incredible treasure."

The deputy immediately understood.

"My subordinates will do it immediately! We must live up to our mission. ”

The other side.

"Brother! Run, you're going to get caught! ”

"Aha! This is the same thing as the samurai who injured me before, so you can feel it too! ”

The hallway, bottomless between the roofs.

The corners of his eyes and mouth twitched at the same time as he looked at Taro, a prostitute who was being chased by dozens of phantom monkeys, and Tarohime, who was clapping his hands and applauding after the monkeys.

"We really can't do anything about the two of them?"

Ichiro thought that after taking in the fallen hime, he would have a chance to kill one of the winders directly today.

The monk replied, "They are not dead, and their bodies are not reunited in the hall, and I really can't do anything to them, only you can choose to expel them from the hall." That's the rule here. ”

Ichiro understands it, and that's all he can do now. It's just that I don't know if Onimai Tsuji can see the situation here.

"In that case, let them stay here."

Ichiro didn't go down to look for it.

It's okay to fall hime, there is only one passable blood ghost technique, but the blood ghost technique of the prostitute Taro is too powerful, and it is estimated that he can kill him if he can't be recruited twice, so why bother to humiliate himself.

It only makes sense to play against enemies who are slightly stronger than you, and it is useless to have too much difference.

He just couldn't figure out why the prostitute Taro was so powerful, why the person named Onimai Tsuji Muru wanted to send these two ghosts to lurk by his side, instead of coming to arrest him himself, it was just too much.

If Ichiro Kazumi is a ghost dance Tsuji, he would have caught him and poured blood into his mouth. As long as Genichiro becomes a ghost and is controlled by him, don't you want to ask anything?

[It's really hard to say whether this ghost king is cautious or has other plans. But as a dignified ghost king, he can't be a coward......]

Ichiro almost laughed at his sudden thoughts.

[As for the two in the pipe gallery, let's wait until the Wind Breath is stronger, and then take the Immortal River to practice with them.] That guy's words, definitely interested. 】

After making his decision, Koichiro raised his index and middle fingers, intending to return to reality from here. It should be dawn outside, and it's time to head to the Ghost Slayer headquarters.

But the monk suddenly stopped him.

"Donor, please wait a while, the female ghost who was pushed into the bottomless room is about to disappear completely."

"So fast?"

Ichiro came interested.

The so-called bottomless abyss, as the name suggests, has no bottom. The person who is thrown will fall faster and faster, until the entire body and soul are completely disintegrated by the speed that cannot be tolerated.

He was a little curious about what kind of ability or weapon this lower string number four could give him.

The Phantom Gallery didn't keep him waiting long.

【Soul of the Fallen Queen of the Fourth String has been exchanged for Mystic Magic: Calling Friends】

[Secret Technique: Call Friends: Summons a colleague phantom with a similar sum of your attribute points to unleash a full blow on the enemy from a dead end. 】

Isn't this the soul series when you touch the white charm to summon a good brother when you fight the boss?

"Sure enough, it's the difference between a buyer's show and a seller's show."

Ichiro sighed, and immediately aimed at the front to cast a blood ghost spell, and a blue bar that he had never seen before suddenly appeared in the lower left corner, directly dropping from the full value to less than a third.

Immediately after, an ethereal phantom suddenly descended from the sky, the peach-colored blade in his hand spiraled downward, and between the swings of his sleeves, countless sparse petals were scattered around him, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance.

"This apparition ,...... Is it Butterfly Chane? ”

Ichiro recognized this move, it was the Breath of Flowers, Ichino-Shape, and Lotus Sharp Horn that Butterfly Shinobu had used many times.

It's just that he didn't expect that Butterfly Chanae used this trick, and the momentum was actually much bigger than that of Butterfly Ninja.

"Sure enough, the breathing method created by my sister is not suitable for her sister."

As for the emotion, Ichiro was very satisfied with the effect of this secret technique, and was able to unexpectedly launch a dangerous attack on the enemy, which was very much in line with his values of emphasizing art rather than heavy Taoism.

The only drawback is that with his current physique (determining concentration, that is, the blue stripe), this technique can be used once a day.

"However, does this mean that my strength is already on par with Huazhu?"

While thinking about it, Ichiro used his technique to return to the confectionery shop.

While Kuro had just returned and was still sorting out his luggage, he found Shinichi Sase and handed him all the papers except for the two white-capped lone shadows and Nogami Ikyuki.

"Let those robbers do dangerous things, leave the study of the blood of the ghost king to those research monks, and as for those joints that are not dangerous but crucial, they are all handed over to the reeds to learn and adapt. In today's world, it is more important to know the laws of its operation than to be able to move a knife. ”

Sase Shinichi thought so, knowing that these reeds would become an important role for reeds to integrate into the world, and hurriedly responded: "My subordinates must live up to their mission." ”

"I'll leave it all to you."

Patting his right-hand man on the shoulder, Ichiro came to the door and sat next to Kuro in the back of the car.

Butterfly Shinobu was sitting on the left side of Jiuro at this time, holding his own small sword in his arms, his expression was a little restrained, obviously it was the first time to take a car as a means of transportation. Her petite body was surrounded by soft leather cushions, and she was visibly uncomfortable.

"Brother, Miss Bracken, is it really a ghost?"

Kuro's mood was a little low, after all, Akihime was the first friend he had met in this world, "Did everything she did before just to get close to us?" ”

"She's a ghost." Ichiro nodded, "But she has already escaped, and the second question, I'm afraid you can only know the answer if you ask her personally in the future." ”

"Alright, let's say goodbye here. If there are no accidents, we should not be back anytime soon. ”

"Miss Shinobi, I'll leave the matter of giving Mr. Driver directions to you."
