Chapter 25: Ruthless characters don't have to be hardcore
On the fifth day that Jiang Sheng and He Wen were companions, neither of them had any plans to go out.
He Wen was making up for the work he had left yesterday, while Jiang Sheng was lying on the balcony looking out the window.
What it was looking at, He Wen didn't know, but he didn't think much about it. After all, he is so busy now, he has no time to worry about the "people" next to him.
Therefore, it is better not to procrastinate in the face of work, otherwise it will be made up, and that will be the real sin.
And so the time passed, and another day passed unhurriedly.
The next day was the weekend.
On this day, the cypress appeared in a small restaurant.
But he didn't come to dinner, but to meet people here.
Who did he date?
It's not hard to guess, it's nothing more than someone sent by the Psionic Administration.
The other party came from the next city, and I heard that he has a lot of experience in removing spirits.
Jo Kashimu's meeting was to understand the situation at this time.
"Hello, a tonkatsu set."
Walking to the agreed position and taking a seat, Kashiwagi glanced at the menu, and then ordered a simple lunch with the waiter.
Although he was not hungry, it was somewhat embarrassing to sit in someone else's restaurant and not order.
The set meal is served quickly, and the pork chops are also fried to a golden color, which makes people very appetizing to watch.
However, before Kashiwagi could start, a girl in a school uniform was already sitting in front of him with a mobile phone.
"The man who started eating before the date arrived, but he was very ungraceful, uncle."
Listening to the unpleasant speech on the other side, the corners of Kashiwagi's mouth twitched slightly, and then he put down the cutlery in his hand and replied angrily.
"First of all, you're not my date, little girl. Secondly, it is obvious that you were rude first. People who are late for the first meeting have no position to blame others. ”
Perhaps she quietly glanced at her phone and found that the agreed time had indeed passed at the moment, and the girl could only pout her lips dissatisfied.
"Cut, a man who cares about pounds is really unpleasant."
"Unreasonable girls will be chased by no one." As a veteran who has been in society for many years, Kashiwagi is obviously not speechless when he is spoken by a girl with sharp teeth.
Even he picked up his chopsticks again, and casually lowered his head and ate the side dishes: "Anyway, let's talk about business first." The situation in Kawatani City is not very good now, did the management office send you alone? ”
"Otherwise, we're already running out of manpower. As for me, it's better to come over on the weekend. ”
Rolling her eyes shallowly, the girl ordered a glass of juice from the waiter. Maybe it's because she can't rest during the holidays, and her mood is a little unbright.
"We'll have at least two evil spirits to deal with." While munching on the juicy pork chops while looking at the girl's casual appearance, Kashiwagi inevitably asked with some doubts, "Are you sure you can handle it?" ”
"I can't handle it, and few people can."
Shrugging her shoulders unceremoniously, the girl said confidently: "Don't worry, my method of removing spirits is a job handed down from my ancestors, and it won't make it difficult for you." ”
"Passed down from your ancestors?" Perceiving the girl's unshy attitude, Kashiwagi raised his eyebrows: "I take the liberty of asking, what is Your Excellency's way of removing spirits?" ”
"Heh, there's nothing you can't say."
In the face of Kashiwagi's question, the girl really had no intention of hiding it. On the contrary, it seems to be quite satisfied, and the other party has changed the title. He even replied by clasping his hands on his chest and leaning back on his seat.
"I'm the manager of a spell."
……
Spells, these two words are almost unknown to everyone in the circle of psionic people.
However, due to its well-known peculiarities, there are not many people who have actually seen spells.
The reason is very simple to explain, it is nothing more than because:
It's rare, it's critical, it's widespread, it's very harmful.
Exaggeration, not exaggeration at all.
Because almost all of the ghosts sealed in the spell are resentful spirits that cannot be killed.
They have a consciousness of their own, a power to interfere with reality, and an instinct to manipulate doom. There is also resentment and hatred that can never be quelled.
Any resentful spirit in a spell that once it is freed, it will be an immeasurable disaster.
After all, as long as they pass through one place, even if they don't do anything, that place will break out of natural disasters.
Not to mention that every resentful spirit has a natural thirst for souls. If they could, they would eat all the life around them to strengthen themselves.
It is precisely because of the containment of some of these beings within it.
That's why spells become a kind of legend, a taboo, a kind of magic that few people have ever seen.
At the same time, because of this, Kashiwagi didn't believe the girl's words at all at the first moment of his thoughts.
He even thought it was an excuse that the girl made up to hide her abilities.
After all, human beings have only possessed thousands of spells since they have survived so far. Not to mention how low the probability is of encountering a person carrying a spell.
This thing alone could not have been kept by a schoolgirl.
Just kidding, if a resentful spirit escapes, it is at least a matter of the survival of the city.
How is it possible for a person to carry something like this with him, let alone that the other party is still a minor.
In Kashiwagi's cognition, the spell should be the kind of object that is locked up in a military base and strictly guarded by dozens of psionic people.
Someone popped up and told him that I was the keeper of a spell, and it was no wonder that he thought they were joking.
"Actually, you don't have to."
casually on the table, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, Kashiwagi shook his head helplessly: "If you don't want to tell me about your family skills, I can keep my mouth shut, and even, I am willing to apologize for my curiosity just now." It's just that you really don't have to make up such words to lie to me. ”
"You think I'm fooling you?" Listening to Kashiwagi's statement, the girl in the school uniform frowned.
Kashiwagi didn't speak, just tilted his head undeniably.
"Smack."
However, in the next moment, the girl had already placed a palm-sized wooden Buddha statue firmly on the table.
At the same time, Kashiwagi's brows also began to twitch wildly.
