"Captain Ruyue, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll leave first."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa said with a smile.

Takahashi nodded, then untied her turban, revealing her long black hair.

If it weren't for the plain kimono, it would be difficult to associate her with a nun.

Whether you go out or come in, the Takamagahara Ruins are more troublesome.

Haruhiko had already understood.

When he came in this time, he wanted to get out, and he had to wait until next Thursday.

In other words, he will stay here for four full days.

"Captain Ruyue."

After Yasuhiro Ishikawa left, Haruhiko took the initiative to say hello.

"Hmm."

Takahashi Ruyue replied and said with a smile, "Good looks." ”

Haruhiko's heart jumped.

You're a nun, isn't that right?

"Head of the house, how are you doing?"

Takahashi Ruyue turned around and asked softly.

Haruhiko couldn't help but be stunned.

The head of the house?

Could it be that you are talking about the true whiteness of the earth royal gate?

The captain of the ninth team is an undercover agent of the Tuyumen clan?

After Haruhiko was surprised, he felt that it was reasonable.

After all, it is the first Onmyoji family, and it seems to be excusable to install a captain.

"Captain Ruyue, what do you mean by the head of the house?"

Haruhiko steadied his hand, if he made a mistake, it would be a big problem.

"It's a bit alert."

Takahashi Kiratsu stretched out her finger, and a golden light appeared in front of her, and soon turned into a portrait.

It is a stick figure portrait of Tsuchigomon Mashiro.

More precisely, it's her stand-in rather than Yui Tachibana.

Haruhiko basically confirmed her identity.

He himself did not expose anything.

When she came up, she mentioned that Tuyumen was really white, obviously not a temptation for him.

"Aunt Zhenbai, it's good."

Haruhiko nodded and said, "Captain Rutsuki, don't worry. ”

"I can't afford to call me Captain."

Takahashi Ruyue stood up, walked in front of him, bowed, and said, "Ruyue has seen the little master. ”

Haruhiko is sure that it was arranged by Tsuchigomon Mari, not Yui Tachibana.

After all, the title of little master is what the former likes.

"No, you don't."

Haruhiko turned to the side, waved his hand, and said, "Just call me by my name, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others." ”

"It's the first time, you have to be cautious."

The corners of Takahashi Ruyue's mouth curled slightly, and said, "In the Takamagahara Ruins, of course, it is a normal name. ”

She sat back in her seat and gestured to the couch.

Haruhiko reacted and sat down across from her.

"There are a lot of rules for the Takamagahara Ruins, so take the time to take a look."

Takahashi took out a book from a drawer and handed it to him.

Haruhiko swept his eyes, afraid that it was ten centimeters thick, and it was all relevant rules.

"The most important thing is that you can't take anything without permission."

Takahashi Ruyue paused and said, "Actually, it's also difficult. The things unearthed at the Takamagahara ruins have a special fluctuation that can be found when you check them casually. It won't dissipate unless it's outside. ”

The spiritual energy of the Takamagahara-hara ruins is relatively abundant, and the spiritual equipment or materials under this condition are different from the outside world.

Haruhiko casually flipped through two pages, and he already understood the reason.

It can only be said that the survivors are really difficult.

Most of those who can get out are carefully planned and have the support of big forces.

"Master, a relic has been laid out on the fourth floor."

Takahashi Ruzuki crossed her hands and said, "It's a trap specially prepared for the Utsunomiya clan. ”

Hearing this, Haruhiko closed the book, looked at her, and waited for the following.

He naturally knew these two sentences.

After all, he was involved.

"Utsunomiya Mina has investigated during this time and has determined the location and authenticity of the ruins."

Takahashi Ruyue chuckled and said, "It's a real ruin, so naturally I'm not afraid to investigate." ”

"Is the Utsunomiya clan going to act?"

Haruhiko's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking.

"This temptation of the gods is something that no one can refuse."

Takahashi Ruzuki opened the drawer, took out a map, and said, "Just in case, the head of the family asked me to lead the ninth team to investigate a nearby ruin. At that time, the Edo Archaeological Bureau will be dragged into the water, and Utsunomiya Mina will be arrested and seized. ”

Haruhiko got up, opened the map, and looked at it.

The above annotation is very obvious.

The red dot represents the remains of the fourth layer of the earth and the Mimon clan.

The blue dot is a newly discovered relic nearby.

The latter is typical of the ruins of Takamagahara.

That is, the remnants of the gods that emerge in endlessly.

To put it simply, the Takamagahara Ruins is a super large tomb, and among them, there are many sub-tombs, fake tombs, secondary tombs, and so on.

The main burial chamber where the body of the Yaqi Snake is located, and the rest are all burials, Rao is so, and it also contains incomparably amazing wealth.

As for what Takahashi said, it's even simpler.

The right to develop the Takamagahara ruins lies with the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

The Edo Archaeological Bureau is also part of the Grand Imperial Palace.

The Grand Imperial Palace is under the responsibility of the Psionic Council.

In other words, the right to develop the Takamagahara ruins lies in the hands of the sixteen major forces.

Utsunomiya Mina: This is a serious violation of the regulations.

It doesn't matter if it's not discovered.

After all, everyone is secretly doing the same thing.

But if he is caught by the Edo Archaeological Bureau, he will undoubtedly offend the sixteen major forces at the same time.

Even the Utsunomiya clan and the Yanagi clan are not weak together.

But rules are rules, and they can't be made explicit.

"The Edo Archaeological Bureau has people from the Utsunomiya clan and the Yagyu clan, so I didn't report this small ruin."

Takahashi Ruzuki continued, "I'll take someone there after Utsunomiya Mina's action, so that I can avoid her knowing as much as possible, so I can be on guard." ”

"Hmm."

Haruhiko could only nod.

It's all arranged, and there's nothing to do with him.

No, it's not.

According to Takahashi Ruyue's meaning, he is going to take him to join in the fun.

After all, they belong to people outside the battlefield.

It is also the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Even if Utsunomiya Mina found them, it would be impossible for her to take an action to kill them.

In that case, it is a sin of the first degree.

If you want to settle a dead person, it will be very difficult.

If it's just a poaching and being discovered, there's still room for maneuver.

"There are still a few days to go."

Takahashi Ruyue got up, put away the map, and said, "I'll take you to where you live." ”

"Okay."

Haruhiko followed her, got on the elevator, and came to the room on the seventh floor.

Except for being a little dark, it's really not much different from the hotel.

Even better.

"You just joined the Edo Archaeological Bureau, and you don't know a lot about it."

After Takahashi Ruyue gave him the door card, he said, "There is a library on the eighth floor, you can take a good look at it these days." ”

"I'll go and see it."

Haruhiko took it and nodded.

This is not a politeness, he is indeed interested.

A thousand years ago, it was the time period of his week.

But at that time, he was just playing games, not participating in person, as he is now.

Playing games, he always skips the plot and only knows who my enemy is and who I want to cut.

However, since it has been crossed, it cannot be so hasty.

"In the Takamagahara ruins, there is no cell phone signal."

Takahashi reminded Ruzuki, "If you want to contact the outside world, you have to go to a special phone booth, but the content of the call is monitored. ”

"I understand."

Haruhiko was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable.

However, with so many rules in the Takamagahara-based ruins, there are still so many people who follow one after another.

The reason is simple, the pay is high.

As far as he knew, the members of the Exploration Department, the next trip to the ruins, according to the performance, can obtain a lot of spiritual tools or materials.

After Takahashi Ruzuki left, Haruhiko quickly flipped through the rules book of the Takamagaha Ruins.

How so?

It's ridiculously numerous.

But as long as you are at peace, it's the same whether you look at it or not.

Most of the rules are to prevent you from stealing things and being a survivor.

At noon, Haruhiko went to the restaurant to eat and met many psykers.

But he didn't know each other, so he didn't say hello.

After eating, he went upstairs to the library.

Haruhiko was able to enter after showing his ID from the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

He walked along the shelves, scanning the titles on them.

There are roughly three categories.

One category is the ruins that have already been developed, mainly about the guardian spirits or traps encountered.

One category is the youkai that exist in the ruins of Takamagahara, and most of them are spirits, such as resentful spirits or earthbound spirits.

One is the psionic materials that have been produced, such as where the herbs live.

Speaking of this, Haruhiko thought of the bamboo leaf of Tiandian Woman's life.

Tsuchigomon Mari investigated, but there were no clues.

She speculated that the place had most likely been discovered and hidden by a major force.

For example, the snake spirit.

But that's not to say it's impossible.

It is difficult to hide the ruins of Takamagahara for a long time.

And it was the Tuyumen clan who didn't care about it before, so for a while, there was no result.

Now that Haruhiko has mentioned it, it will be easier to say later.

In the evening, he had eaten and returned to his room.

Because there was no way to contact the outside world, Haruhiko could only practice the Snow Maiden breathing method with peace of mind.

Three days, in a flash.

When Haruhiko opened his eyes, the game prompt sounded.

The Snow Maiden Breathing Method, which he had cultivated for so long, had finally reached the third order.

In other words, his current physical strength was equivalent to that of a third-order demon body.

Haruhiko took out the magic sword that Aya Aizawa gave him, the Mochizuki Genken.

This is a third-order magic sword, and the two spells attached to it are also third-order.

Theoretically, the third-order demon body has a certain amount of defense, and some special monsters can even physically resist the third-order spells.

Haruhiko's demon body naturally comes from the Snow Maiden.

The only reference is Yukihime.

When Yukihime fought with the two siblings of Okubo Bless Bird and Okubo Bukyu before, she used to use her demon body to take their sword moves.

However, she is a fourth order, and her strength is higher.

Thinking about it, Haruhiko looked at his arm with the Mochizuki Sword.

A crisp voice sounded.

He was unscathed.

However, this is without the use of psionic powers and spells.

Haruhiko gritted his teeth and used the skill on Mochizuki's sword, the moon wheel.

The sword body trembled slightly, and a white sword qi like moonlight flew out and landed in his arm.

He controlled the Wind Demon Bracelet, so it didn't automatically trigger defense.

Haruhiko gasped.

A red scar appeared on his arm.

No blood flowed out, just pain.

This meant that he could barely hard-connect a normal third-order spell.

Of course, he won't be idle and have nothing to do.

It's a pity that Yukihime isn't here.

Otherwise, Haruhiko can also test the strength of his body in more depth.

It's okay to surprise her when you get back.

Haruhiko thought about the demon body of her coconut sheep clan, and couldn't help but roll her throat.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a succubus.

In previous lives, succubi were often associated with the image of a sheep and understood everything.

Haruhiko came back to his senses and began to chant a mantra.

Autumn Water Regeneration!

The water was blowing, and his arm was back to normal, free of the pain.

The phone rings.

At the Takamagahara Ruins, you can't talk to the outside, but you can talk to the inside.

Haruhiko took out his phone and immediately showed consternation.

It is a real pear of the earth gate.

He then reacted that she had already arrived at the ruins of Takamagahara.

That said, plans for Utsunomiya Mina are about to begin.

He was about to answer the phone, but the ringtone disappeared and there was a knock outside the door.

Haruhiko hurriedly got up and opened the door, and sure enough, it was Tsuchigomon Mari.

"Long time no see, little master."

Tsuchido Marea stood in the hallway, locked the door, and then pinched Haruhiko's chin and began her oral education.

Haruhiko grabbed her slender waist and rested his hand on her hips.

She still wears a classic women's suit and hip skirt today.

With her leaning over slightly, according to the principle of leverage, the back will be curled.

It's really not weak to let go.

Soft after all.

After a long time, Tsuchigomon Mari licked her lips and said, "Your strength has increased a lot. ”

Haruhiko was surprised when he heard this, just a few kisses, can you feel it?

The fifth-order demon is really terrifying.

Tsuchigomon Mari let go of her hand and entered the room, where she sat on the edge of the bed and folded her long black legs.

Because I didn't take off my shoes, the red high heels hooked on the toes, dangling and shaking, showing amazing flexibility.

"Sister Mari, when did you come?"

Haruhiko stepped forward and took off her high heels, revealing her faintly pink toes beneath the black silk.

"Well, I just arrived."

Tsuchigomon Mari hooked her fingers, Haruhiko took two steps closer, she gently stroked his face, and asked, "Are you moved?" ”

"Impressed."

Haruhiko nodded and said.

It's all this time, can you not be moved?

"Want to teach here?"

Tsuchigomon Mari suddenly raised her foot, stepped on his leg, and asked.

"Yes."

Haruhiko told the truth.

"It's a pity that I don't have time."

The corners of Tsuchimon's mouth curled, revealing a narrow smile, and said, "I'm going to do something serious soon, I can't accompany you." ”

“……”

Haruhiko tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Bad woman, what a nuisance.

It's still Yukihime.

"Where's Aunt Mashiro?"

Haruhiko remembered Yui Tachibana and asked, "Didn't she come down?" ”

"Here, over at the ruins."

Tsuchigomon Mari leaned into his ear, and her red lips spat out a burning breath, "I came to see you secretly." ”

Haruhiko lowered her head slightly, and she could see the collarbone and skin that seemed to be as white as cream.

It's just a beautiful meal.

"Listening to the teacher and getting distracted will be punished."

Tsuchigomon Mari noticed his eyes, leaned back, clasped his hands to his chest, and said.

"I'm sorry."

Haruhiko quickly apologized and said.

"That's good."

Tsuchigomon Mari stretched out her hand, pressed him into her arms, and said, "I'll reward you next time." ”

The feeling of suffocation lasted for two or three seconds.

Haruhiko breathed fresh air.

He secretly sighed that the earth royal gate real pear was only a little worse than Yukihime.

As for the specific amount, if there is a chance in the future, he can compare it by hand.

"Utsunomiya Mina has already led people to the ruins, and my master and I will arrive later."

Tsuchigomon Mari regained her cold expression, "You follow Ruyue and wait for the final result." ”

"I understand."

Even if Haruhiko wants to intervene, he is powerless.

After all, it's a fifth-order battle.

"Hmm."

Tsuchigomon Mari got up, buttoned her neckline, and said calmly, "I'll see you later." ”

She touched Haruhiko's head, and her body shattered like glass, then turned into a butterfly and disappeared.

"Is this a supernatural power?"

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

But no one could answer his question.

He left the room and went downstairs to Takahashi Kiratsuki's office.

When I opened the door, there were people standing inside.

"Okay, the seventeen people of the ninth team who are currently in the ruins have arrived, and needless to say, there is a new ruin."

Takahashi Rutsuki glanced at Haruhiko and said, "Let's go." ”

She walked in front and left the office.

The rest of the mermaids rushed out.

The group walked down the dimly lit streets, and soon reached the edge of the city.

It is surrounded by complex corridors.

Haruhiko has been reading the information for the past few days and has already understood something.

The corridor is like a labyrinth, with dozens of exits, each corresponding to a different place.

And some of the passages are constantly moving.

Without a map, you will get lost 100%.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the exit.

More precisely, an elevator similar to a cable car.

They will enter the fourth level through here.

Haruhiko took out her mask and put it on.

He was used to the psionic energy of the first layer, but he had never been to the fourth layer.

And even if you have been there, it cannot be applied for a short time.

Unless it's the fourth or fifth order.

Haruhiko noticed seventeen people, only Takahashi Rutsuki was not wearing a mask.

When you enter the elevator, you start sinking.

The speed was very fast, and after a while, a huge underground space was reached.

Dark and decaying.

In the middle is a teleportation array.

The fourth layer is located very deep underground.

The elevator is too slow after all.

As the light flashed, Haruhiko came to the fourth layer.

In an instant, he felt a heavy pressure.

But fortunately, he is now a third-order demon body, and there are no major problems.

Takahashi glanced at him, a little surprised.

Psionics from the first time to the fourth layer, especially the lower ranks, usually feel dizzy or even comatose.

But Haruhiko is like no one.

Worthy of the little master.

Takahashi Ruyue turned his head to look at the desolate surroundings.

Nothing has a breath of life.

There are also faintly scattered white bones.

There are human beings, and there are also many living things.

These are all left over from a long time ago.

Because it is worthless, there is no one to clean it up.

"Follow me."

Takahashi Ruyue didn't go directly to the ruins, but took a detour.

Mainly to avoid Utsunomiya Mina.

About half an hour later, Haruhiko crossed a forest and came across a ruin.

Judging from the map annotations, it is smaller than the one next door that designed Utsunomiya Mina.

But when I actually saw it, I realized that it was actually quite big.

In the ruins of the broken wall, all kinds of white bones and weeds are overgrown, vaguely enveloping the range of four or five hundred meters in radius.

Five thousand words.
