Tokyo: Starting from Miko Big Sister

Chapter 277 The Charm of the Unconscious
Haruhiko continued to look down and quickly got the answer.

Although Ashiya Michitoshi is powerful, he is still human after all.

And humans have limits.

Monsters can live for thousands of years, but humans cannot do that. They will die in a few hundred years at most.

But there are also abnormalities.

For example, the longevity vine that Haruhiko encountered in the Genji ruins before.

Let it possess you and you can live forever, but the cost is very high.

Michio Ashiya also wanted to find immortality without any side effects, but it was difficult.

Therefore, he settled for the next best thing and chose another approach.

A rather mysterious spiritual tool.

It can keep Ashiya Doman's body absolutely still.

As a price, there is no way to move.

But Ashiya Michitoshi couldn't stay here for a long time, so he thought of another way.

The soul leaves the body and takes over a new body.

In fact, this is not the first time Haruhiko has met.

Such is the case with Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

Her substitute is controlled by her soul.

But the two are different.

Mashiro Tsuchimikado is remotely controlled.

If her true form dies, she must die.

The advantage is that if the substitute dies, it will not affect the real body at all.

Ashiya Michimitsu is just the opposite.

The death of the real body does not affect the substitute.

When the substitute dies, that is real death.

Haruhiko was thoughtful.

It seems that Tsuchimikado Mashiro has better methods, but this is not the case.

Because her true body will gradually age.

Ashiya Michichi won't and can always remain at his peak.

Haruhiko suddenly thought of the previous battle at the Snake Spirit Headquarters.

At that time, Ashiya Michitoshi had already shown considerable strength, but it was not actually his true strength.

After he returns to his true form, he can explode with even greater power, perhaps close to the sixth level.

"His body must be destroyed."

After hearing this, Tsuchimikado Mashiro said without hesitation.

"good."

Tsuchimikado Marri agreed, "Now he has already made us feel troublesome."

Hoshino Aoi also nodded.

The three fifth-level psykers who had participated in the battle at the Snake Spirit Headquarters all said this. Haruhiko realized that Ashiya Michitoshi was in more trouble than he thought.

But that’s normal. He is the main villain in the game, probably even more powerful than Yamata no Orochi.

"Does it say anything about how to open the entrance?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro looked at Haruhiko and asked.

"Have."

Haruhiko nodded.

This ruins was actually used to store the body of Ashiya Domitsu.

He will come back to take his true body in the future, so it is naturally impossible not to leave a way out.

"That's good."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro was worried that his trip would be in vain.

Although the fifth floor of the Takamagahara ruins was very large, it was still difficult to find ruins of similar size, and she didn't want to waste too much time.

It is quite unusual for the Tsuchimikado clan to cooperate with Izumo Shrine to explore the ruins.

Over time, it might arouse the suspicion of the fifth-level strange demon.

"Leave in half an hour."

Hoshino Aoi stood up slowly and said calmly, "I'll inform them."

She left the tent.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro turned to look at Tsuchimikado Mari and blinked.

The meaning is clear.

Mari Tsuchimikado glanced at Haruhiko, stood up and left.

She also went to inform the Tsuchimikado clan.

In the end only three people were left.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro frowned slightly, tilted his head and looked at Hoshino Hotaru.

She was confused as to why she didn't leave yet.

Hoshino Aoi has already left, why does she stay?

She has nothing to do with Haruhiko.

As far as Tsuchimikado Mashiro knew, the little girlfriend Tsuchimikado Mari often talked about was Hoshino Hotaru's sister.

In fact, from just getting along with him for a short time, she understood why it was Hoshino Rin.

Because Hoshino Hotaru is exactly the same as Hoshino Aoi, exuding the aura of keeping strangers away.

It is abnormal for such a person to have a good relationship with others.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro was suddenly startled.

She found that although Hoshino Hotaru's face was expressionless, she had been looking at Haruhiko.

what's the situation?
Tsuchimikado Mashiro couldn't help but feel a crisis in his heart.

But Haruhiko was more panicked than she was.

This Shura field is stranger than expected.

"Aunt Zhenbai."

Haruhiko quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where is my tent?"

"I'll take you."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro temporarily suppressed his thoughts and said.

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief, gave Hoshino Hotaru another look, then stood up and left.

Because of his maleness and special status, he had a separate tent.

"I'll come and call you later."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro stood at the door, suddenly feeling timid and did not go in.

Haruhiko nodded.

The setup inside the tent was pretty good.

There are beds and tables.

Of course it's the kind of bed table that's relatively small.

Haruhiko was a little tired after walking for so long, so he lay down on the bed to rest.

But a few seconds later, he felt a soft body squeeze into his bed.

Soon, Hoshino Hotaru's head popped up and rested on his arm.

A faint fragrance permeated the air.

Haruhiko glanced at her and noticed her delicate little face. There was no expression, but he could feel a kind of tranquility and attachment.

To be honest, he was not surprised.

It would be strange not to run over to see him.

Among the people Haruhiko knows, only Hoshino Hotaru is very dependent on him.

He didn't speak, and closed his eyes again.

But no sleep.

After all, it's only half an hour.

And Tsuchimikado Mashiro will come over later.

If she saw this scene, it was hard for Haruhiko to imagine how she would react.

After 10 minutes, he opened his eyes again.

Since practicing the Snow Girl Breathing Technique, his physical fitness has improved significantly.

Among them is the grasp of time.

This is quite useful in combat.

Sometimes a few seconds can determine life or death.

"firefly."

Haruhiko reached out and pinched her cheek.

He didn't sleep, but Hoshino Hotaru really fell asleep.

She was like this every time, especially relaxed around Haruhiko.

Hoshino Hotaru slowly opened her eyes.

She sat up and dropped the quilt, revealing the miko uniform underneath.

Because the rest time was short, she didn't take off her clothes.

Although she really wanted to, she didn't really understand anything.

The priorities are still clear.

Even if she doesn't care, she will consider Haruhiko's feelings.

"There are still a few minutes."

Haruhiko brought the small table next to him and took out a bottle of soda from the space ring.

Just the Coke Tsuchimikado Mari gave me last time.

He thought it tasted good, so he ordered an extra box and placed it in the space ring.

"Have you ever had Coke?"

Haruhiko unscrewed the bottle cap and asked.

Hoshino Hotaru shook her head.

She was raised at Izumo Shrine since she was a child, and everything she ate was carefully selected.

It is impossible to have snacks like Coke.

And given her personality, she wouldn't be interested in any snacks.

"Then try it."

Haruhiko handed over the Coke.

Hoshino Hotaru didn't answer.

She stepped forward, grabbed Haruhiko's arm, opened her mouth, and exposed her tongue.

What it means is self-evident.

Haruhiko lifted the Coke bottle and gently poured it into her mouth.

Hoshino Hotaru's throat rolled and she swallowed.

For some reason, Haruhiko also swallowed.

He always found this scene disturbing. "How is the taste?"

Haruhiko didn't continue pouring, took a sip himself, and asked.

"It's kind of weird."

Hoshino Hotaru tilted her head and said.

"normal."

Haruhiko was not surprised and said with a smile, "It's my first time to eat soda. I'm not used to it."

Hoshino Hotaru stared at the mouth of the bottle.

He just drank.

So he stepped forward again.

Haruhiko was a little puzzled.

Because she didn't ask him to feed her like before.

The next second, Haruhiko was gagged.

All the remaining Coke disappeared.

Haruhiko looked at her serious look and was speechless for a moment.

He suddenly realized something and took a half step back, separated from her.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Haruhiko heard the conversation outside the door.

Although it was not Tsuchimikado Mashiro, everyone was obviously ready to set off, and there was a risk of being discovered at any time.

Hoshino Hotaru licked the corners of his mouth before he could finish his words, with a faint luster shining on his lips.

Haruhiko withdrew his gaze, and it was simply uncomfortable to continue looking at it.

He discovered that Hoshino Hotaru always exudes amazing charm unintentionally.

It has to be said that this is a talent.

But luckily only he could see it.

As soon as Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru came out of the tent, they saw Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari coming towards them.

Both of them were startled.

Especially Tsuchimikado Mashiro subconsciously bit his lower lip.

This scene is undoubtedly telling her that the relationship between Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru is unusual.

asshole!

Tsuchimikado Mashiro clenched his fists in anger.

Tsuchimikado Marri had long been used to it and just smiled lightly.

And she is a monster and thinks differently.

Monster is all about winner-take-all.

As long as you are capable enough, there is no problem in doing anything.

In her opinion, Haruhiko is very capable.

Competence brings privilege.

That’s why Tsuchimikado Mahri doesn’t care about Haruhiko.

"Is everyone here?"

Hoshino Aoi walked up to a few people. She glanced at Hoshino Hotaru and asked.

"It's all here."

The answer came from a miko behind her.

Hoshino Aoi looked at Tsuchimikado Mashiro again.

She was slightly startled.

The head of the family seemed a little strange.

But Tsuchimikado Mashiro soon returned to normal.

She spoke calmly and said, "Let's go."

Under her leadership, a group of people left the camp.

There are a total of sixty people here including the Tsuchimikado clan and Izumo Shrine.

Among them, there are three fifth-level ones and 24 fourth-level ones, which are almost the backbone of the two major forces.

All sixty people did not go to the ruins, but four people were left to guard the camp to prevent any accidents and to notify them in time.

The ruins are not too far away. After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at the entrance on the mountainside.

The so-called entrance is the mountain wall.

It is engraved with the words of the snake god.

Haruhiko glanced at it and saw that it was exactly what Tsuchimikado Mashiro had shown him before.

As for the method of opening the door, it is also included.

He stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the mountain wall.

Spiritual energy surged out and was injected into the snake-god language text.

The ordinary text suddenly lit up, one after another, and finally all lit up.

Haruhiko's psychic energy is white.

The same was true for the color of the text that originally lit up, but when it was all lit up, it began to change.

A gloomy black air suddenly filled the air.

Haruhiko shuddered subconsciously, then withdrew his hand and stepped back.

The words scattered around suddenly gathered together, and in a blink of an eye, a black eyeball was revealed.

Black light flashed in the eyes, and then a black light shot out quickly.

Haruhiko quickly dodged.

But the black light stopped in mid-air.

A few seconds later, it was like a curtain of rain, covering the stone wall.

The stone wall began to melt, eventually revealing a deep tunnel.

Haruhiko let out a breath.

Just open it.

He was afraid that it would not open, or that something unexpected would happen.

But Ashiya Domitsu must have left a trap inside.

With his conspiracy, it is impossible to believe in the snake god's language that much.

After all, there are still a few people who understand the language of the snake god.

Ashiya Michimitsu should be on guard against betrayal by members of the Snake Spirit.

"I'll go ahead."

When Tsuchimikado Mari passed by Haruhiko, she patted him on the shoulder and stopped at the entrance.

She raised her hand, and a flame appeared in her palm.

Since it involves Ashiya Michimi, caution must be taken.

Even a fifth-level psyker would suffer a loss when facing a powerful person from a thousand years ago.

Not to mention the third and fourth levels.

The flames flew into the deep tunnel.

But after a few seconds, it suddenly went out.

Tsuchimikado Mahri's eyes narrowed, but he saw countless snakes pouring out.

Being crowded together is a nightmare for people with trypophobia.

Although Haruhiko is not a patient with trypophobia, he was startled and subconsciously stepped back.

Tsuchimikado Mari raised her hands.

The scorching flames caused heat waves to billow all around.

The snakes were submerged in the flames, and without screaming, they turned into ink and fell to the ground, eroding patches of black.

"poisonous."

Tsuchimikado Marri said in a deep voice, "This should be a special spell that uses the language of the snake god as a carrier."

The language of gods itself contains power.

Using it to cast spells is more powerful than using human language to cast spells.

At the same time, the effect is even more bizarre.

Not long after, all the snakes disappeared.

Tsuchimikado Mari let out a breath.

This spell is equivalent to the fifth level.

She also used her magical powers to resist.

Fortunately, Haruhiko or others were not allowed to break in rashly. Otherwise, they would have been bitten or poisoned to death.

"For your safety, do not step on the black areas of the ground."

Tsuchimikado Mari reminded.

She sent another flame.

This time it didn't go out.

"Let's go in."

Tsuchimikado Mahri jumped lightly and levitated.

Others do the same thing.

Haruhiko was pulled by Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

And Hotaru Hoshino followed him closely.

In other words, he was protected.

Although it was quite safe, Haruhiko always felt that there was no sense of exploring the dungeon.

The passage was quite dark, but with Tsuchimikado Marri's flames, he could barely see what was going on around him.

There are smooth stone walls everywhere.

Judging from the traces, it was dug manually.

But other than that, it's pretty average.

The group of people came to the vicinity of the passage smoothly.

The sight widened and the underground hall appeared.

Paved with white jade, it looks very expensive.

In the middle, stood a middle-aged man wearing hunting clothes.

Ashiya Road is full.

Haruhiko couldn't help but startled.

This is too easy.

Except for the snakes at the entrance, there are no traps or crises.

To be honest, it's weird.

Not only Haruhiko thinks this way, but others also think so.

"The key should be in this body."

Tsuchimikado Mahri frowned slightly and stepped forward.
