Four people and four attacks, although they are not issued at the same time, but because the speed is too fast, there is not much difference from sending them at the same time.

Haruhiko held the red luan, looking at the chaotic psionic situation in front of him, ready to attack again at any moment.

The spirit appreciator's own skills allow him to instantaneously.

Theoretically, the casting speed is even faster than that of Utsunomiya Mina and others.

However, with the exception of Minami Utsunomiya.

As a big demon, she has natural powers.

It's like the feather attack she used a lot before.

The fog gradually lifted.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

The attacker, who had been using fog to cover his tracks, was now unable to sustain himself, indicating that he was seriously injured.

If it's death, the game will prompt him.

The fog disappeared completely, and a rather strange figure appeared in front of everyone.

He was dressed in a black tight-fitting suit that resembled an ancient ninja, now in tatters.

That's not the point.

The skin he exposed was dry, hard, wrinkled, like the bark of a tree.

It doesn't look like a human, but a youkai made from some kind of tree.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Utsunomiya Minami.

He didn't know much about youkai.

It would be more accurate to say that he could recognize the monster itself, but in this situation, it was difficult to tell what it was.

Among youkai, many times it is identified by breath.

Utsunomiya Minami is a youkai, and it is theorized that she can know what the person in front of her is through her breath.

Noticing Haruhiko's eyes, she took two steps forward.

The attacker was not dead, but had fallen into a coma, leaving only a faint breath.

This proves even more that he is a youkai.

As Utsunomiya Minami looked closely, the attacker suddenly opened his eyes.

She immediately spread her wings and prepared to attack.

"Wait."

The attacker stood up and said, "I have no ill will. ”

As he spoke, the bark on his body fell off, revealing human skin.

It was a middle-aged man, with pale skin, as if he had been living in darkness for a long time.

"No malice?"

Utsunomiya Minami snorted coldly, "You just clearly wanted to kill me, and you didn't spare the slightest hand." ”

"That's not me."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's the immortal vine on my body." ”

"Immortal vine?"

Utsunomiya Minami frowned.

She hadn't heard of such a monster.

In confusion, she turned her head to look at Haruhiko and Utsunomiya Mina and the others, all at a loss.

"Longevity vine is a special plant, it is not a monster, but it has instinct."

The middle-aged man noticed their reaction and explained, "Being possessed by it can be muddy, but it's not entirely without benefits. The advantage is that you can get immortality and live for a long time. ”

Haruhiko and the others were all a little surprised.

If he didn't lie, it means that the middle-aged man is indeed human and has lived for a long time.

"I was possessed by it of my own free will, in order to wait for your arrival."

At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke in surprise.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt a little frightened.

Is it a trap?

"How did you know we were coming?"

Haruhiko recalled the game's setting.

Prophecy does not exist for such spells.

Not even among the gods.

It was obviously impossible for this fourth-order psionic in front of him to possess the ability to prophesy.

"It's not that you know you're coming, it's that you know that humans are coming."

The middle-aged man corrected, "I stayed here precisely to convey to you the secret that Genji left behind. ”

His words reminded Haruhiko.

In the history of Toei, Genji can be said to have produced many talents and is very brilliant.

But in the game, it is already very dilapidated, and only a few words of legend remain.

Now combined with the words of the middle-aged man, it is surmised that something extremely terrifying must have happened at the beginning.

So much so that he would rather be possessed by the immortal vine than be forced to live.

"The gate outside is forbidden and only humans can pass through."

The middle-aged man raised his hand, pointed, and said, "Alien demons can't enter." ”

Is it related to alien demons again?

Haruhiko subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

If it is an alien demon, then Genji's decay or even extinction is understandable.

"Most demons are just beasts."

The middle-aged man continued, "After reaching the fifth order, they will have the wisdom of a human being. ”

It's not a secret.

High-level psionics can be known through the Great Imperial Palace or the family.

Haruhiko also knew about it from Tsuchigomon Mashiro.

If it's just this secret, there shouldn't be any need for middle-aged men to bother so much.

He didn't ask, and continued to wait for the following.

"Fifth-order alien demons, each with its own talent and supernatural powers."

The middle-aged man paused, and suddenly asked, "Can you still see strange demons in your current era?" ”

"Yes."

Haruhiko was slightly stunned and replied, "Until now, alien demons can still be randomly teleported to our world through space. But fortunately, most of them have been wiped out, and only seven extremely troublesome fifth-order alien demons remain, sealed by the enchantment. ”

"Seven?"

The middle-aged man said with relief, "It seems that our efforts were not in vain. ”

Haruhiko heard his voice.

He must have participated in the war between the demons and the gods led by the Yaki Orochi.

Naturally, the war affected humans and youkai.

The low-level demons were barely repelled by their joint efforts.

"Do you know the natural powers of these seven alien demons?"

The middle-aged man's tone became serious, "Is there one of them whose natural supernatural powers are shapeshifting?" ”

"Nope."

Haruhiko shook her head and looked at Utsunomiya Mina again.

The information he got came from the Tsuchigomon clan.

It stands to reason that you can't go wrong.

But just in case, he made sure again.

"Nope."

Utsunomiya Mina asked, "Does the change of shape refer to the change of body?" ”

"It's not just about changing the body."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "It also includes appearance, breath, and blood. ”

"What?"

Utsunomiya Mina's face changed slightly.

The same is true of Utsunomiya Minami and others.

"Looks like you're aware of the problem."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "When we Genji encountered that alien demon, we suffered heavy losses from friend and foe. In desperation, everyone hid in the closed ruins. ”

"Is this the ruin?"

Haruhiko already had a sense of foreboding.

"It's here."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "But don't worry, after Genji's people are gone, it's gone." I was lucky, and I escaped with the longevity vine, but I no longer had the power to protect myself, so I used Genji's spirit tool to make a ban on the door. ”

“……”

Haruhiko was speechless.

That's what worries you the most.

A fifth-order alien demon escaped, and neither humans nor youkai noticed it.

Who is it now? And where?

When I think about it, I feel my scalp tingle.

With its wisdom and strength, it must have blended into the top.

Maybe it's in the middle of the Great Palace.

"Is there any way to track that demon?"

Haruhiko asked with a deep breath.

Although this demon is far away from him, it is closely related to him.

Whether it's the Tsuchigomon clan or the Izumo Shrine, they will all be threatened.

"Nope."

The middle-aged man shook his head, his tone very sad, "If there were, Genji would not have perished." ”

Haruhiko fell silent.

That's a tough one.

But no matter what, this news has to be told to Tsuchigoto Mashiro and Hoshino Aoi.

It's really too exciting.

"I've said what I have to say."

The middle-aged man regained his composure and said, "My time has come to an end, and anyone who is possessed by the immortal vine, after waking up, will not live for long, so he will have to accompany it." Because over a long period of time, we have become one. ”

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at the game panel.

He didn't really fully trust middle-aged men.

Because it is impossible to determine whether what he says is true or false.

But his plug-in can.

"In the main hall behind me, there is the legacy left by Genji, you can use it as you please."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, it was as if a snowman had melted and turned into a pool of blood.

[You helped destroy the Immortal Vine and Gengu Shinobu and gained 700 psionic points. 】

Haruhiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no problem with the identity of a middle-aged man.

It's not the shape-shifting demon.

The main thing is that its natural god is metamorphosed, meaning that it can become anyone or a monster without any flaws.

After all, even the bloodline and breath have been changed.

I'm afraid that fellow fifth-order psionics won't be able to detect that something is wrong with it.

"He's not an alien."

Utsunomiya Minami stepped forward to inspect it and said.

After Shinobu Genya said about the shape-shifting demon, he was suspicious of everyone.

They are in line with Haruhiko's thoughts.

"It looks like he's not lying."

Utsunomiya Mina's tone was a little dazed, and she said, "This is really deadly information. ”

"Luckily, we know this."

Utsunomiya Minami let out a breath and said, "If you don't take precautions, the losses will be even worse." ”

"But I'll leave it to those fifth-order psionics first."

Utsunomiya Mina nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do for the time being. ”

"Let's go in and see what Genji left us."

Haruhiko came back to his senses and said.

As Utsunomiya Mina said, the Utsunomiya clan is now not qualified to meddle in the affairs of fifth-order psionics.

The top priority is to become stronger.

The Genji of the past is a super family.

What it leaves behind is bound to be extraordinary.

But it's hard to say if it's complete.

Genji and the alien demons have fought fiercely, and they will definitely cause serious losses.

But either way, you have to see it to know with your own eyes.

Haruhiko and the others walked towards the main hall in the middle.

After entering, there was silence.

Bones all over the ground.

There are human beings and alien ones, intertwined, and it is difficult to tell the difference.

But it is clear how cruel the war was back then.

In addition to the white bones, it is the legacy that Shinobu Genya said.

All kinds of spiritual tools, as well as space rings and the like.

"It's just a few of us, it's hard to clean up."

Haruhiko swept his eyes and said, "Let's take a look around the neighborhood first, and after making sure there is no danger, call someone to come and help." ”

Utsunomiya Mina and the others nodded.

The crowd scattered and began to check.

Haruhiko walked inside.

"Master."

Utsunomiya Minami stepped forward, her red lips slightly opened, and said, "I'll protect you." ”

As he spoke, he hugged his arm.

Haruhiko subconsciously struggled, but was stuck.

He didn't move again.

Two men entered the apse.

This is clearly the place to live.

Haruhiko opened a door nearby, and it was a mess inside.

The furniture was shattered and dusty, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.

He swept around, found nothing of value, and went to the next room.

"This is supposed to be a women's room."

Utsunomiya Minami judged.

Mainly, there are women's kimonos in the open closet.

And this room is relatively complete in comparison.

Haruhiko suddenly noticed a diary on the table.

He flipped it open, looked at it a few times, and sighed.

The above record is exactly what they fought against that fifth-order demon.

In short, it is very miserable.

If it's a head-to-head battle, it's a painful death.

But most people die from those closest to them.

This also led to the fact that everyone in Genji in the later period was in danger, and even his closest relatives could not be trusted.

Haruhiko felt hopeless just thinking about it.

"There's a spirit apparatus."

Utsunomiya Minami opened the drawer and took out a necklace.

Haruhiko took it casually.

The game prompt sounds.

[Name: Heart of Harmony.] 】

[Rank: Fourth Order.] 】

[Effect: Long-term wear, can improve the body.] 】

[Note: It was built by Minamoto Yoritomo, the head of the Genji family, and ordered people to be in front of the Jing Emperor.] 】

This is the room in front of the Silent Palace?

Haruhiko discovers that the history in this game is far from the real history he knows.

But it's normal.

Games, TV series, movies, and so on will be magically changed.

The point is that this necklace works pretty well.

Especially suitable for Haruhiko now.

So he was not polite, and put it away.

I hope it's a little useful, especially when facing Tsuchigomon Mari and Yukihime.

The two of them continued to wander around.

No trace of the demon was found.

And more and more evidence also shows that the previous middle-aged man Shinobu Genya did not lie.

In addition, Haruhiko also encountered a lot of spiritual tools.

It's a pity that there is no suitable for him.

There are quite a few that can be used, but there is no need to repeat the effect of the spirit tool on his body.

It's better to leave it to Utsunomiya Mina to deal with and maximize the value.

At night, several people got back together.

Like Haruhiko, no danger was found.

So the next thing is for Utsunomiya Mina to deal with.

Haruhiko returned to Tokyo.

Because it was already night, he didn't bother the Tsuchigomon clan and Izumo Shrine.

He plans to go again tomorrow.

That fifth-order demon had been lurking for nearly a thousand years, and it was not in a hurry at this time.

"Welcome home."

Yukihime's delicate face had a gentle smile on her face.

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the Genji ruins were not dangerous, but they gave him the most depressing feeling.

One is the white bones that can be seen everywhere.

The second is the sense of crisis brought about by the fifth-order alien demons.

Yukihime noticed his abnormality and hurriedly stepped forward and held his hand.

Psionic input made sure there was no problem with his body, and then asked, "What happened?" ”

"I learned a secret in that ruin."

Haruhiko didn't hide it, so he told the story of the matter.

Rao is Xue Ji saw the big scene, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
