Chapter 255
At present, Mu Xiu still has three side missions issued by the "Lord God" light ball——

The three goals are to eliminate Santuhe and Hong's little ghost, collect all the killing stones, and find out the "truth" of the underground ruins. However, Mu Xiu has no way to complete it immediately.

Because they either require a lot of time and energy to screen and investigate. If there is a large amount of engineering, they need just the right luck. There is no other way.

Therefore, it can only be left there for the time being——

For example, for Mu Xiu, Santuhe and Hong, that little devil, are not only good at playing tricks and tricks, but also have first-class means of escape. The most troublesome thing is his vigilance and thick skin.

For example, after ordinary people have suffered at the hands of others, no matter whether they have learned the lesson or not, they will at least have more or less intentions, and want to wait for an opportunity to get revenge.

But that evil spirit kid was lucky. After finding out that Mu Xiu had become extremely dangerous, he was injured and ran away. He managed to save his life and went back. After that, he has never appeared in front of Mu Xiu until now. .

This cowardice is simply fresh and refined, and Mu Xiu is also very speechless about it. After all, as long as Santuhe and Hong appear within his sight range, he can kill each other completely in an instant, but...

Anyway, this task is interrupted, and I don't know when I can hope to complete it.

As for the difficulties of the other two tasks, the same goes for exploring the underground ruins, the amount of work is beyond imagination.And for what is said to be a geographical fragment of an ancient mythological age, time has worn away too many valuable clues.

At present, the spiritual industry in the Kanto region has almost focused most of its attention on it recently.But until now—

In addition to the discovery and completion of the orthodox rune characters, there are also successive discoveries of basic combination formulas for rune sequences, which can effectively make up for the background of arcane runes inherited by most exorcists in the spiritual industry Apart from missing, there are no other meaningful discoveries.

On the contrary, the number of casualties caused by the continuous excavation and cleaning of prehistoric relics will increase every few days. Maybe it is related government staff, or it may be the casualties of real exorcists...

Roughly estimated, the cost of casualties needed to excavate the entire ruins can make the current spiritual industry terribly painful, but they continue to pile up people one after another, exchanging current blood and tears for future growth possibilities.

As for the collection of killing stones, it is also not necessarily easy to go anywhere.

After all, this is not just the world view of "Eat Spirit", but also various other strange story lines or the interweaving of "destiny". Maybe before Mu Xiu came, everyone was just parallel lines that did not affect each other. Just keep going at your own pace.

But now, who would dare to believe that everything is moving forward in a straight line?
……

……

Shinjuku Station, South Walk.

Takashimaya Times Square.

"Wait, having said that, it seems that the killing stone was brought over there by Zi, and I forgot to ask her for it back..."

Mu Xiu seemed to have remembered something and covered his face with one hand, sighing weakly.Just like this, he climbed up into the air step by step, as if there were invisible stairs in the air to support his steps.

He didn't hide his behavior at all. Anyway, this accident didn't seem to be an accident.At least the official response was very fast. To be precise, the actions of Superintendent Tokyo were so efficient that it was unscientific. In only about 10 minutes, the surrounding crowd had basically been evacuated.

And implemented a site blockade and information control——

There may be a few sporadic people who have not been evacuated or discovered due to various reasons, but this is already a normal development.

Because no one thinks that every supernatural disaster accident can be 100% hidden from all the ordinary people affected. If a few ordinary people know it, it is still acceptable.Anyway, most people have already evacuated, if only a few people see the "truth", don't worry at all.

After all, no one would believe what they said.

For a fourteen-story building, this height is already scary, and the wind from all directions of the building will also stir each other to form a vortex, and then disperse in all directions.Mu Xiu's clothes swelled in the hunting wind, but that didn't even make his body shake a little.

It's as if the ground under your feet is the sky-high avenue, and it's the most stable way to walk.

So he climbed up step by step all the way, and walked step by step into the mid-air that was at the same height as the roof of the building.After just a glance, Mu Xiu frowned.

The roof of the shopping mall has been shrouded in thick black smoke, and almost nothing can be seen in the field of vision, not even the flash of flames.

But the black smoke has become more and more intense as time goes by, and it almost rises into the sky. From a distance, it can even make people think that the entire commercial building is on fire, or that there is something wrong with it. Some plane crashed in the middle of the roof of the building or something.

This situation is very strange, and with the wide-area breath perception to find the enemy, Mu Xiu was not able to accurately lock the enemy's position in such a place the size of a tofu block——

There is only a certain spiritual field reaction and spiritual energy permeating, and the breath belonging to the killing stone is faintly visible, seemingly absent.

"interesting……"

As soon as he stepped on the ground on the roof of the building, Mu Xiu seemed to have noticed something strange, but at this moment, the sound of the helicopter's propeller spinning rapidly had finally just reached above his head, and the turbulent wind pressure The smoke near a large open space on the edge of the building was blown away.

Mu Xiu didn't care about it either, and walked forward directly. He just made it clear that the horses and horses were coming to get the killing stone, so naturally he didn't want to cover up or greet them first.

It's just that he doesn't want to interact with the countermeasure room, but some people don't want to give up such an opportunity easily.

"Lord Mu Xiu, Gui'an...I didn't expect to meet you here."

The pink parasol unfolded lightly, the silver hair flew up, and the demon exorcist girl floated gracefully beside Mu Xiu. She put away the parasol in a natural posture and tidied up her hair because she fell from the sky. Slightly messy hair, and the simple sky blue kimono on her body.

"...I didn't expect to meet you here, Isayama-san."

Mu Xiu just glanced at her slightly, and walked past her without stopping. At this moment, there were a few exclamations from behind.

What followed was the sound of two helicopters landing one after another. Fortunately, the quality of the building passed the test and the roof area was large enough, otherwise...

Anyway, someone unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Please call me Ming, I will be very happy to call me by my first name, Lord Mu Xiu. Besides, Huang Quan is here too, so it might be a little confusing to just call me by my surname..."

The silver-haired exorcist girl turned her head and gestured to her companions who hadn't fully landed, then followed with a smile, saying so.

"Miss Ming, I remember that you didn't seem to join the countermeasure room, so why did you follow along this time?" Mu Xiu asked casually, reaching out his hand to disperse the lingering smoke in front of him.

Isayama Mei quickly caught up with Mu Xiu, walked side by side, and said respectfully and gently: "Yes, I am just a free exorcist registered with the Ministry of the Environment, and I have no plans to join the countermeasure room... ...This time it's just a foreign aid, because..."

She paused for a moment, first glanced back, and then continued to say something——

"Because the killing stone is so attractive, the Jiye family has been planning for this opportunity for a long time. Not only the countermeasure room is very guarded against them, but even the opinion of the head of the Isayama family is to prevent the Jiye family from succeeding as much as possible. ..."

"The Jiye family? Is it the Jiye family who came this time?"

Mu Xiu became curious now. He remembered that this was the opposing villain-like camp in the original story line of "Eat Spirit", but now it seems that the two sides are not completely hostile. position?

"Yes, Forbidden Curse Dao Ji Yejia, claiming to be the strongest in spells, this family of exorcists have pursued for generations to master the real thunder method..." Isayama Mei lightly smiled, "Although on the surface it is still a decent exorcist The family of teachers, but in the past few years, it has unknowingly shifted to the gray area."

"Grey domain? Do you mean mice?" Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of some special terms in the spiritual world that Saronomiya Yisumi and himself had said.

The meaning of "mouse" refers to those evil exorcists who have completely gone astray and used all means to achieve their goals. Almost everyone shouted and beat them.Mu Xiu had killed a large number of people who came to him before, and cleaned up the local spiritual industry circle in Tokyo.

As a result, the atmosphere of the local spiritual industry circle in Tokyo has been greatly improved.

"It hasn't reached that level yet, but there is already such a trend. Many people feel that they have gone astray. If they get the killing stone again, the Jiye family may really complete that in the current generation. A short fall."

The exorcist girl smiled and said softly, she didn't help the Jiye family cover up, but she didn't deliberately splash dirty water either.

"Then why don't you just stop something like this from happening?"

Mu Xiu felt a little confused, he turned his head and looked at it, and then his eyes changed slightly.

Because unconsciously, the field of vision behind him was also shrouded in black smoke, and his perception extended to only sense an empty, seemingly endless end.

Wait, how big is the roof area of ​​this building?I only walked out a distance of less than [-] meters in total, right?

"This is naturally because the law can only convict behaviors, not thoughts." Isayama Mei explained helplessly, "And the existence of killing stones has a special status in the spiritual industry, just like the Tumiya family. All registered decent exorcists are eligible to obtain it."

It is always people who kill, not knives or guns. Not all exorcists are like countermeasure rooms, thinking that killing stones must be sealed.

After all, something like a "seal" has existed since its birth to be broken.Many people think that instead of being tied up and throwing rats, it is better to use this dangerous spiritual thing to fight against evil spirits.

Withdrawing his gaze, Mu Xiu looked at the slightly pale face of the silver-haired exorcist girl: "You—the reason why you came to help the countermeasure room is also for the killing stone, right?"

"Yes, Lord Mu Xiu." Isayama Mei didn't deny it, with a calm expression on his face: "Master Jinguji is worried that the Jiye family will use some unscrupulous means, so I hope I can come to help. It is the killing stone."

Although Jinguji Iris belongs to the character who holds the view that "sealing the killing stone is the best way", but it is not a pedantic character. Compared with the killing stone, it may fall into the forbidden curse. As a result, she was more inclined to let the killing stone be mastered by the demon exorcist who she was familiar with and who was close to the countermeasure room.

This is a safe option.
