Tokyo: Starting from Miko Big Sister

Chapter 269 New Strange Demon
Although the four attacks of four people were not launched at the same time, because the speed was so fast, it was not much different from the simultaneous attacks.

Haruhiko held Hongluan in his hand and looked at the chaotic interweaving of spiritual energy in front of him, ready to attack again at any moment.

The skill that comes with the spiritual tool allows him to cast it instantly.

Theoretically speaking, the casting speed is faster than Utsunomiya Mina and others.

Except for Utsunomiya Minami.

As a great demon, she has innate magical powers.

Just like the feather attack she often used before.

The mist gradually dispersed.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

The attacker had been using fog to conceal his whereabouts, but now he was unable to do so, indicating that he had been seriously injured.

If he dies, the game will prompt him.

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

He was wearing a tight black suit that looked like an ancient ninja, but it was now in tatters.

That's not the point.

The focus was on his exposed skin, which was dry, hard, and full of wrinkles, like tree bark.

It doesn't look like a human being, but some kind of monster transformed from a tree.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Utsunomiya Minami.

He doesn't know much about monsters.

To be more precise, he could recognize the monster itself, but in this situation, it was difficult to tell what it was.

Monsters are often identified by their breath.

Utsunomiya Minami is a monster. Theoretically, she can know who the person in front of her is through her breath.

Noticing Haruhiko's eyes, she took a few steps forward.

The attacker was not dead, but had fallen into a coma and was only breathing weakly.

This further proves that he is a monster.

When Utsunomiya Minami looked carefully, the attacker suddenly opened his eyes.

She immediately spread her wings, ready to attack.

"and many more."

The attacker stood up and said, "I mean no harm."

As he spoke, the bark fell off his body, 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 offence?"

Utsunomiya Minami snorted coldly, "You clearly wanted to kill me just now, and you didn't hold back at all."

"that's not me."

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

"Ivergreen?"

Utsunomiya Minami frowned.

She had never heard of such a monster.

In doubt, she turned to look at Haruhiko, Utsunomiya Mina and others, all of whom were confused.

"Ivergreen is a special kind of plant. It is not a monster, but it has instincts."

The middle-aged man noticed their reaction and explained, "After being possessed by it, you will become confused, but it is not completely without benefits. The benefit is that you can gain immortality and live for a long time."

Haruhiko and others were a little surprised.

If he wasn't lying, it meant that the middle-aged man was indeed human and had lived for a long time.

"I was possessed by it voluntarily, just to wait for your arrival."

At this moment, the middle-aged man made a surprising statement.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little horrified.

Could it be said to be a trap?

"How did you know we were coming?"

Haruhiko recalled the settings of the game.

There is no related spell for prophecy.

Not even among the gods.

The fourth-level psyker in front of him obviously cannot have the ability to predict.

"It's not that we knew you were coming, it's that we knew humans were coming."

The middle-aged man corrected him, "I stay here precisely to convey to you the secrets left by Genji."

His words reminded Haruhiko.

In the history of Japan, Genji can be said to be full of talented people and very brilliant.

But in the game, it is very dilapidated, with only a few fragments of legend left.

Now combined with the middle-aged man's words, it is inferred that something extremely terrifying must have happened.

So much so that he would rather be possessed by the longevity vine than forcefully survive.

"The door outside is restricted and only humans can pass through."

The middle-aged man raised his hand, pointed, and said, "No monster can enter."

Is it related to strange demons again?
Haruhiko narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

If it was a strange demon, then Genji's decline or even death would be understandable.

"Most demons are just beasts."

The middle-aged man continued, "Only after reaching the fifth level, they will have intelligence comparable to humans."

This secret is not really a secret.

High-level psykers can all know it through the Grand Palace or family.

Haruhiko also found out from Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

If it were just this secret, there would be no need for the middle-aged man to go to such trouble.

He didn't ask and continued to wait for the next step.

"The fifth-level strange demons each have their own talents and magical powers."

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

"I can see it."

Haruhiko was startled for a moment before replying, "So far, strange demons can still be randomly transmitted to our world through space. But fortunately, most of them have been eliminated, and only seven extremely troublesome fifth-level strange demons are left. Seal it with a barrier."

"Seven?"

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

Haruhiko heard what he meant.

He should have participated in the war between the strange demons led by Yamata no Orochi and the gods.

That war naturally affected humans and monsters.

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

"Do you know the innate magical powers of these seven strange demons?"

The middle-aged man's tone became serious, "Is one of them gifted with the magical power of shape-shifting?"

"No."

Haruhiko shook his head and looked at Utsunomiya Mina again.

The information he got came from the Tsuchimikado clan.

It stands to reason that nothing can go wrong.

But just in case, he made sure again.

"No."

Utsunomiya Mina asked, "Does changing one's body mean changing one's body?"

"More than just changing your body."

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

"what?"

Utsunomiya Mina's expression changed slightly.

The same is true for Utsunomiya Minami and others.

"It seems you have realized the problem."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "When we, Genji, encountered that strange demon, we did not distinguish between friend and foe, and suffered heavy losses. In desperation, everyone hid in the closed ruins."

"Is this the ruins?"

Haruhiko already had an ominous premonition.

"It's here."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "But you don't have to worry, it has left after all of Genji's people died. I was lucky and escaped with the longevity vine, but I no longer have the ability to protect myself, so Use Genji’s spiritual tools to place a ban on the door.”

"..."

Haruhiko was speechless.

This is what should worry the most.

A fifth-level strange demon ran out, but neither humans nor monsters noticed it.

Who is it now?Where is it?

Thinking about it carefully, my scalp feels numb.

With its wisdom and strength, it must have gotten into the upper echelons.

Maybe it's in the Imperial Palace.

"Is there any way to track that strange demon?"

Haruhiko took a deep breath and asked.

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

Both the Tsuchimikado clan and the Izumo Shrine will be threatened.

"No."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said in a very sad tone, "If there was, Genji would not have perished."

Haruhiko fell silent.

This is difficult to do.But no matter what, this news must be told to Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Hoshino Aoi.

It's really too exciting.

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

The middle-aged man regained his composure and said, "My time has come to an end. Anyone possessed by the Evergreen Vine cannot live long after waking up, so he has to stay with it. Because over a long period of time, we have become one." .”

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at the game panel.

In fact, he didn't completely believe the middle-aged man.

Because it is impossible to determine whether what he said 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 like."

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

[You helped eliminate the Immortal Vine and Genya Shinobi, and gained [-] psychic points. 】

Haruhiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Not that shape-changing monster.

The main reason is that its innate power is metamorphosis, which means it can become any person or monster without any flaws.

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

I'm afraid even the fifth-level psychics wouldn't be able to detect anything wrong with it.

"He's not a monster."

Utsunomiya Minami stepped forward to check and said.

After Genya Shinobu revealed the shape-shifting demon, everyone was suspicious.

They had the same idea as Haruhiko.

"It seems he didn't lie."

Utsunomiya Mina said in a dazed tone, "This is really fatal information."

"Fortunately we have this information."

Utsunomiya Minami exhaled and said, "If you are not prepared, the losses will be even more severe."

"But let's leave it to those fifth-level psychics first."

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

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

Haruhiko recovered and said.

As Utsunomiya Mina said, the Utsunomiya clan is not qualified to interfere in the affairs of fifth-level psykers now.

The top priority is to become stronger.

The Genji family in the past was a super big family.

What it leaves behind must be extraordinary.

But whether it is complete or not is difficult to say.

Genji has fought fiercely with strange demons, which will definitely cause serious losses.

But no matter what, you have to see it with your own eyes to know.

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

After entering, there was silence.

Bones all over the floor.

There are humans and monsters, so intertwined that it’s hard to tell.

But it can be clearly seen how cruel the war was back then.

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

Various spiritual tools, as well as space rings and the like.

"With just a few of us, it's difficult to clean up."

Haruhiko glanced at it and said, "Let's take a look around the area first. After making sure there is no danger, we can call someone over to help."

Utsunomiya Mina and others nodded.

Everyone scattered and began to inspect.

Haruhiko walked inside.

"Owner."

Utsunomiya Minami stepped forward, her red lips slightly parted, and said, "I will protect you."

Saying that, she hugged his arm.

Haruhiko struggled subconsciously, but got stuck instead.

He didn't move again.

Two people entered the apse.

This is obviously a place to live.

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

All kinds of furniture were broken on the floor, and there was thick dust. It looked like no one had been here for a long time.

He scanned around and found nothing of value, so he went to the next room.

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

Utsunomiya Minami said with judgment.

The main thing is that there are women's kimonos in the open wardrobe.

In comparison, this room is relatively complete.

Haruhiko suddenly noticed a diary on the table.

He opened it casually, glanced at it a few times, and then sighed.

The record above was exactly what they had done against the fifth-level strange demon.

All in all, it was very miserable.

If it were a head-on confrontation, it would be a painful death.

But most people die by those closest to them.

This also caused everyone in the Genji family to feel insecure in the later period, and even close relatives could not be trusted.

Haruhiko felt desperate just thinking about it.

"There is a spiritual tool."

Utsunomiya Minami opened the drawer and took out a necklace.

Haruhiko took it casually.

The game prompt sounds.

[Name: The Heart of Peace. 】

[rank: the fourth rank. 】

[Effect: Long-term wearing can improve the body. 】

[Remarks: It was built by Shizugozen under the orders of Minamoto Yoritomo, the head of the Minamoto family. 】

Is this the room in front of Jingyu?

Haruhiko discovered that the history in this game was far different from the real history he knew.

But also normal.

Games, TV series, movies, etc. will be magically modified.

The point is that this necklace works quite well.

Especially suitable for Haruhiko now.

So he was not polite and put it away.

I hope it can be of some use, especially when facing Tsuchimikado Mari and Yukihime.

The two of them continued to hang out.

No trace of the strange demon was found.

And more and more evidence also proves that the middle-aged man Genya Shinobu was not lying.

In addition, Haruhiko also encountered many spiritual tools.

It's a pity that there is nothing suitable for him.

Many of them are indeed useful, but there is no need to duplicate the effects of the spiritual tools on him.

It would be better to leave it to Utsunomiya Mina to maximize the value.

At night, several people got together again.

Like Haruhiko, neither saw danger.

So Utsunomiya Mina will handle the next thing.

Haruhiko returned to Tokyo.

Because it was already night, he did not bother the Tsuchimikado clan and Izumo Shrine.

He plans to go again tomorrow.

The fifth-level strange demon has been lurking for nearly a thousand years and is not in a hurry.

"Welcome home."

A gentle smile hung on Xue Ji's delicate 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-level strange demon.

Xue Ji noticed something strange about him and quickly stepped forward and held his hand.

After using psychic input to confirm that there was no problem with his body, he asked: "What happened?"

"I learned a secret in that ruins."

Haruhiko told the story of the incident without hiding anything.

Even if Xue Ji had seen such a big scene, she couldn't help but be surprised.
