Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 251 Night Battle

Starting from the parking lot at the south pass of Mt. Ibuki, a group of people followed the road up the mountain in the dark, and soon disappeared in the darkness.

Hasegawa Sayaka didn't return to the car until Noma Minami was out of sight.Kobayashi Reiko, who stayed with her, held cup noodles in her hand and seemed to be hesitating whether to chew dry.

She pointed outside, "Go to the parking lot attendant and ask if there is hot water."

"Eh... ok."

The two went there together, successfully got hot water, and returned to the car with cup noodles in their hands.

The aroma filled the air, and Kobayashi opened the doors on both sides to avoid leaving too much smell.

Sucking on the instant noodles, Hasegawa raised his gaze again, looking at Mount Ibuki, which blended into the night.

The outline is blurred, and all that can be seen is a huge shadow.

"Is Kobayashi not good at fighting head-on?"

Xiao Lin looked up and swallowed the instant noodles before saying: "It's not that I'm not good at it at all, but I have little actual combat experience. It's not a big problem to deal with ordinary spirits."

"It's the same as me." Hasegawa took a sip of the soup, feeling a little salty.

"Because I was originally transferred to Fuyun Shrine to fill Miss Sayaka's vacancy."

As Kobayashi spoke, he glanced at the other psychics in the parking lot, looking for familiar people without expecting.

"Nowadays, there are very few spiritually aware people. According to Soya's classification, a spiritually aware person who has the ability to deal with an evil spirit alone can basically serve as the team leader at a certain station..."

Hasegawa nodded.

In order to take care of more shrines, this level of psychics usually does not concentrate in one station.

But there are exceptions, such as Fuyun Shrine.

"I was a child a few years ago, but Kyoko has grown up quickly. In two years, Anan may be transferred to another shrine."

Kobayashi: "There seems to be such an intention at Shiramaru Shrine."

"..."

Hasegawa's face darkened, "You can also apply to stay at Fuyun Shrine."

"That's true." Kobayashi nodded, "But the person they want most over there is actually Soya...Although it's even more useless. Miss Kyoko will definitely not let him go."

"Mr. Soya..."

Not long after returning to Fuyun Shrine, Hasegawa and Soya did not act together many times, and there was no chance to see him make a move.

"Anan also said that he is very powerful, how powerful is it?"

Kobayashi looked at her, "Let's put it this way, ten of me plus ten Miss Sayaka can't beat one Soya."

"... If you compare it with me, I can't feel how powerful Soya-kun is at all!"

Kobayashi Reiko laughed, then thought for a while.

"I'm sure that if the evil spirit really escaped to this side in the end, then its escape would come to an end."

Starry, the rising moon can not yet shine into the valley.

Entering Mount Ibuki, walking along the dark mountain path all the way to the foot of the mountain, the group stopped and waited for follow-up instructions.

The middle-aged man in charge of command and dispatch is from the headquarters of the Kinki Agency, named Yoshiyama Shinji, and is currently communicating with teams in other regions.

Looking at the dark forest in front of him, Soya suddenly had the feeling that he was a policeman and was currently chasing fugitives, but in fact it was not much different.

"And they're all civil servants..."

"Huh?" Noma Minami turned to look at him, "What did Soya just say?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

"Be more focused."

"Yes, team leader."

See, the action is already police-like.

Fortunately, they don't need to rely on eyesight to search the mountains inch by inch like the police. Under the induction of spiritual sense, any passing spirits are clearly visible like candles in the dark.

"Everyone—"

After a while, Shinji Yoshiyama suddenly raised his voice, "The target has been driven to the southeast area of ​​Mount Ibuki, and it is likely to choose the south as the breakthrough point. Please be prepared for the battle."

Soya and Kyoko glanced at each other, both of them lifted their spirits.

"Please take this place as the center and disperse to the left and right along the foot of the mountain. The distance between each other should not be less than 50 meters, and pay attention to the talisman paper signals in the sky at all times."

Shinji Yoshiyama is holding a broken demon bow, and the front end of the arrow in his hand is wrapped with a piece of red talisman paper. After shooting into the sky, it will explode into a ball of spiritual fireworks. It is not gorgeous, but it can be noticed immediately by the spiritual sense nearby.

And seeing the signal meant that the evil spirit had fled here.

"If you find a spirit body, please shout out loud immediately, and the rest will quickly support you. Those carrying the Demon-Breaking Bow..."

He also distributed a few pieces of red talisman paper to the witches with the Demon-Breaking Bow, as a more prominent contact signal when a spirit body was found.

"Take action."

The enlightened people scattered along the foot of the mountain to both sides, and stopped one after another. The four people from Fuyun Shrine naturally gathered together.

Hanai Mayuri and Noma Minami stopped one after the other, keeping a distance of 60 to [-] meters from each other; they continued to walk with Kyoko and dozens of other enlightened people, and Soya stopped first.

He stopped in the middle, so that no matter which side encountered the evil spirits fleeing all the way, he could respond as soon as possible to support them.

"Be careful."

"Ah."

Jingzi nodded, and walked a hundred steps forward before stopping.

Scattered at such a distance, a few dozens of spiritual sense practitioners can cover a considerable area.

As the crowd walked away, the voices of people disappeared, and the surroundings quickly fell into another kind of silence, only the sound of insects and frogs.

Far away from the urban area, the mountains and forests are pitch black at night, only the starry sky above the head is bright, and the dots are clearer than ever.

Looking up for a moment, Soya lowered his head again and rubbed his stomach.

Eating on time is a good habit, but it also makes people more sensitive to hunger when they don't eat.

"Fortunately, I ate half a piece of bread before departure..."

It's just a little dry, and now he wants to drink water again.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. He came all the way from near the lake, and then went up the mountain to disperse. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

Soya's psychological expectation is to get off work before twelve o'clock in the evening, but if it is delayed until tomorrow morning, there is no way.

"I remember the reward for performing missions at night, it seems to be more..."

The organization has never been stingy about the remuneration for overtime work at night, and has implemented a step-by-step increase. The longer the overtime, the higher the promotion ratio, up to [-] times.

If the evil spirit is successfully stopped and eliminated, everyone involved in the operation tonight will be paid at least 20 yen... Soya estimates.

Standing at the foot of the dark mountain, you can see a little bit of light shining on the south slope of Ibuki Mountain from a distance, scattered with each other, vaguely connected into a line, it is the spiritual sense person who is creating momentum to drive away evil spirits;
The 1000-meter-high Mt. Ibuki is beautiful in the daytime. At this time, it poses a huge challenge to the physical fitness of the enlightened people. Soya is glad that he is one of the guards at the foot of the mountain.

After waiting for a while, a wave of spiritual power swept across his body.

"..."

He raised his head, and there was a faint blue spiritual firework blooming in the sky, which was still spreading outward.

It was the signal released by Shinji Yoshiyama.

——The exorcised evil spirits fled towards this side.

Soya clenched his knife tightly, and took a deep breath of the air that was fragrant with vegetation.

No need to work overtime.

Looking at the mountain again, the subtle light spots are gradually becoming denser, forming an obvious pocket, converging here from all corners of Ibuki Mountain.

He looked around.

The line of defense is long, which side will the evil spirit choose to break through?
Only two or three minutes later, another group of faint blue fireworks bloomed in the sky, telling him the answer: the direction is on the left, which is the direction where Kyoko went, and the distance is not too close.

Kyoko reminded, "Songya--"

"I am coming!"

Soya rushed over there immediately, and quickly caught up with Kyoko who was running and waiting, and the two continued to support the deep left.

It seems to have a premonition, the evil spirit chose to break through from one corner of the defense line, which made it take a lot of time for the rest of the spiritual sense to rush over, and the two of them were almost the fastest support among them.

Non-stop, they surpassed seven or eight spiritual sensers one after another, and another magic-breaking arrow wrapped in signal talisman rose into the sky, and the distance was already extremely close.

Going around a stretch of mountains, Sogu and Kyoko could already see the spirit body flying down, in the sparse forest not far ahead.

All the spiritual beings around surrounded him there.

Holding the broken demon bow in hand, Kyoko continued to go straight, intending to blockade from a distance, while Soya turned and ran up the hillside, in order to close the distance as soon as possible.

The spiritual fireworks in the sky were about to dissipate, Kyoko stopped, took out the talisman paper, wrapped it around an arrow in his hand, and shot it into the sky.

The blue is blooming, and the moon shines on the mountains and forests.

Putting down the Demon Broken Bow, she looked at Zongu who was running fast, but he suddenly staggered and almost fell down.

"Songya-san..."

Kyoko tensed up.

After he stood still, he stopped and looked down at his left arm.

"..."

The black mark, long and narrow like a willow leaf, came alive.
