Seeing that Iwabata Koji had compromised, Isayama Yomi nodded in satisfaction, and then became worried about the situation of the other group of teammates in the exorcism team.
Due to lack of manpower, the team was forced to split into two groups today and go to two places to carry out tasks simultaneously.
Jianshan Huangquan's team had two experts on their side, so they could easily handle it, but the other team...
"Just a bunch of minions, nothing to worry about."
Compared to Isayama Yomi's worries, Iwabata Koji is obviously full of confidence in the strength of his teammates.
"I hope so..."
Jianshan Huangquan sighed softly.
For some reason, ever since she met Hikigaya Hachiman, she had been feeling a tightness in her chest, as if something bad was about to happen.
"If you're so concerned, then give them a call. Judging by the time, they're almost on their way back to base."
As he spoke, Iwabata Koji stole a cell phone and contacted another team.
"Hey, what's that?"
Tsuchimiya Kagura was holding her sword and thinking about Hikigaya Hachiman, when suddenly she saw a group of blue butterflies floating in front of the car.
Chapter 139 Just a greeting
It was already past five in the afternoon when I took the bus home.
Hikigaya Hachiman collapsed on the sofa, his heart filled with regret.
"Should I take a taxi back?"
Even though he is quite rich now, he still chose the bus route which takes more time.
"Onii-chan, are you okay?"
Komachi, who had been lying on the sofa all day, looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who was lying motionless on the sofa as soon as he got home, and curiously crawled to his side and poked his cheek.
"Nothing, I just stayed in the sun for over two hours and I don't feel like moving..."
Hikigaya Hachiman tried to raise his hand to stop Komachi from playing a prank on his face.
But just as he was about to raise his hand, he found that his arm felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
So he decisively gave up struggling and let Komachi poke his face.
"Speaking of which, Onii-chan, do you know why the power suddenly went out while you were out there?"
After poking Hikigaya Hachiman's cheek for a while and realizing that he didn't resist at all, Komachi immediately lost interest.
She imitated Hikigaya Hachiman and lay on the sofa with him, talking about the power outage in a muffled voice.
"We have a power outage here too?"
Hikigaya Hachiman, who was originally in a state of low spirits, immediately sat up after hearing what Komachi said.
"Yeah, the power went out when Komachi was playing games, but she was furious for a long time."
As she spoke, Komachi's tone was filled with resentment.
It can be seen that what she was typing before the power outage must have been quite important.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't the entire Chiba be without power?"
Because it was daytime and they were riding the bus, Hikigaya Hachiman didn't feel anything was wrong even though he saw that the shops along the street had their lights off.
But after hearing what Komachi said, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately realized that the problem was serious.
Modern society cannot do without water and electricity.
Without water, people can still survive for two or three days, but without electricity and the Internet, invisible otakus like Hikigaya Hachiman and Komachi can't survive for even a day!
"What should I do, Onii-chan?"
When Komachi heard Hikigaya Hachiman say that the whole of Chiba had a power outage, she was stunned.
Without electricity, how can she watch TV series, chat and play games with friends with peace of mind?
"We can only wait patiently for the electricity to come back."
Seeing that Komachi mistook him for a blue fat man, Hikigaya Hachiman apologized and said that he was not a yellow mouse that could make "pika pika" sounds and emit electric shocks on its own.
"There's nothing I can do. I can only play board games for a while until the electricity comes back."
Komachi, who had already given up hope for a call today, saw that Hikigaya Hachiman had no solution. She sighed helplessly and took out the board game she had prepared long ago from behind the sofa.
"You've been ready for this for a long time?"
Looking at the game cards that had already been arranged, Hikigaya Hachiman's eyelids twitched.
Why did he have a feeling that Komachi had plotted against him?
"Yeah, isn't this just in case?"
Touching his head, Komachi explained the reason why he did this rather embarrassedly.
"Because Onii-chan has been so versatile lately, after the power outage, I was wondering if Onii-chan could solve the problem..."
"But I was worried that if I couldn't solve it, I wouldn't have anything to do tonight, so I ran out and bought a game."
"So what, Onii-chan, do you want to play?"
"...."
Hikigaya Hachiman quietly looked at Komachi who was holding a board game in front of him and looking at him expectantly.
Although Komachi spoke in a very relaxed tone, she must have been looking forward to him coming back to play with her since the power outage, right?
But then again, it has been a long time since the two siblings played games together...
"I really can't do anything about you."
There was a helpless look on his face.
Hikigaya Hachiman took the game from Komachi and placed it on the sofa.
"First of all, let's make a deal: after we play one round, we'll go get ready for dinner!"
"Yeah, no problem!"
....
On a certain section of the highway, Tsuchimiya Kagura slowly opened her eyes.
What caught my eyes was a bloody scene, and pain spread throughout my body.
However, most of them are just superficial injuries.
Struggling to get up from the ground with her hands, Tsuchimiya Kagura touched her face and found that it was covered in blood.
"Yellow Spring…"
Looking at the blood on her hands, Tsuchimiya Kagura was stunned for a moment, and then a sudden surge of power surged in her body.
She staggered to her feet and looked around, finally locking her sight on an SUV belching smoke a few dozen meters away.
When I walked to the side of the car, I saw Koji Iwabata sitting in the driver's seat with blood all over his head and in a coma.
"Uncle Iwabata?"
After trying to shake Iwabata Koji's shoulders and failing to wake him up, Tsuchimiya Kagura glanced at the big hole on the rear door of the car and the seat where Isayama Yomi was supposed to be sitting.
Biting her lip, Tsuchimiya Kagura decided to rescue Iwabata Koji first, and then look for the whereabouts of Isayama Yomi.
At the same time, in the dense forest outside the highway, Jianshan Huangquan was chasing the thin figure not far ahead.
"You've chased me for such a long distance, you should be satisfied, right?"
The boy, his body wrapped in blue butterflies, suddenly stopped on a thick tree trunk.
He looked at Jianshan Huangquan who was chasing him relentlessly, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his heart.
If the girl in front of him wasn't somewhat useful, he really wanted to kill her right away.
However, on the surface, the young man showed a kind smile on his face and greeted Isayama Yomi like an old friend.
"Why did you suddenly attack us?"
Not being fooled by the boy's appearance, Isayama Yomi drew out her precious sword Lion King, summoned the guardian spirit Ran Honglian to protect her, and asked vigilantly.
"Why?"
The boy tilted his head, as if he thought the question raised by Isayama Yomi was quite ridiculous.
"I just thought you looked pretty powerful, so I reached out to say hello as a greeting. Who knew you could be so weak?"
"you!"
Hearing the boy's words, Isayama Yomi's chest heaved violently with anger.
"Crazy Red Lotus!"
There is absolutely no need to negotiate further.
The boy's nonchalant tone fully proved that he did not take human life seriously at all.
In that case, even if he is chopped to pieces, the people above him will definitely not say anything!
Following Isayama Yomi's order, Luan Honglian, who had three tails and looked like a lion, roared to the sky and pounced towards the young man.
Chapter 140 One Day You Will Accept It
"Didn't I tell you? You're too weak."
He watched as the chaotic red lotus, which was several times larger than himself, pounced towards him.
The boy didn't show any panic on his face. Instead, he shook his head, his tone full of pity and regret.
The next second, the countless blue butterflies that were originally surrounding the boy were suddenly confined in place, and then turned into countless steel needles and stabbed towards Jianshan Huangquan.
"!"
Ran Honglian retreated to Jianshan Huangquan's side in time, trying to use her body to help her resist the boy's attack.
However, the steel needle pierced its body in an instant. Luan Honglian let out a wail and turned into spiritual energy before returning to the sword.
First Chapter Previous ChapterThen a series of jingling sounds were heard, and Jianshan Huangquan tried her best to knock away the steel needles flying towards her while retreating.
Finally, after retreating more than ten meters, she was safely out of the attack range of the steel needles.
"Is that all?"
Looking at Jianshan Huangquan, who was lying on the ground with injuries all over his body and looked in a miserable state, a sneer appeared on the boy's face.
That's it?
You could barely even withstand his most common attack, and you dare to chase him with such little strength?
"So strong…"
In stark contrast to the relaxed contempt on the boy's face, at this moment, Isayama Yomi was covering his injured right arm with a serious expression.
Jianshan Huangquan didn't understand.
She herself was not the kind of person who would be so reckless as to chase after someone in anger if attacked.
In fact, after being suddenly attacked by the boy, she first felt the spiritual power in the boy's body and confirmed that his strength was weaker than hers before catching up with him.
But in just a few minutes of pursuit, the spiritual power in the boy's body underwent a drastic change.
If the spiritual power in the boy's body was just a stream before, then at this moment it was like a rushing river.
This directly jumps several orders of magnitude!
"You seem confused as to why my strength has suddenly increased?"
Stretch out your fingertips and let a blue butterfly rest on them.
The boy looked at the confusion on Isayama Yomi's face and sat on a tree branch to chat with him.
"What do you want to do?!"
After realizing that he was no match for the enemy in front of him, Jianshan Huangquan was wary of the boy's every move.
After all, she couldn't predict from which angle the enemy would take her head off next.
"Don't be so nervous. I still have use for your life, so I won't kill you."
Faced with Jianshan Huangquan's vigilance, the young man spread out his hands, with the butterfly on his fingers still resting on them.
"You want to use me?!"
Hearing the boy's words, Jianshan Huangquan's face instantly turned gloomy.
He openly said such words to her face, which clearly showed that the boy's disdain for her strength had reached its peak.
No, maybe he doesn't even take me seriously!
Thinking of this, Jianshan Huangquan clenched the Lion King in his hand.
Humiliation, absolute humiliation!
"Are you particularly unwilling?"
With one hand supporting his chin, the young man seemed to be able to read minds and expressed what Isayama Yomi was thinking at the moment.
"You've been training so hard every day. Yet, the strength you've finally gained is easily surpassed by someone four years younger than you. Deep down, you really want her to die, right?"
"Shut up, what are you talking about?! Kagura and I are like sisters, how could I be jealous of her!"
"I didn't tell you who you were jealous of. You said it yourself."
The boy put on an innocent expression, which then changed into a mocking one.
"you!"
Hearing the boy's words, Jianshan Huangquan subconsciously wanted to rush up and fight him to the death.
But suddenly, a steel needle transformed from a butterfly brushed against her tender neck and shot into the ground behind her.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on my back.
Isayama Yomi stood there stiffly, holding the Lion King, unable to move a step.
"I'm talking to you, are you thirsty for power?"
The young man who was supposed to be on the tree branch had moved behind Jianshan Huangquan at some point. At this moment, he was holding a red stone about the size of a fingernail in his hand and waving it in front of Jianshan Huangquan.
"As long as you embed this thing in your body, you will have strength far exceeding that girl's."
The young man whispered in his ear with a voice full of temptation.
"Far beyond her ability..."
A trace of confusion flashed in Jianshan Huangquan's eyes. She opened her lips slightly and repeated what the boy had just said.
"That's right! It's far beyond her strength! As long as you put it into your body..."
Although he was still trying to seduce Isayama Yomi, the young man now had a bored look on his face.
It's really quite boring.
Before, seeing how loving their sisters were, I thought they could hold on a little longer, but when they heard that they could crush each other, they were instantly confused?
"Yellow Spring..."
Just as Isayama was in the chaos of Yomiuri and raised her hand to take the stone from the boy's hand, the face of Tsuchimiya Kagura suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Kagura!"
With a start in his heart, Jianshan Huangquan's eyes instantly regained clarity.
"Crazy Red Lotus!"
The giant lion-like guardian spirit flew out from the Lion King again and pounced directly at the young man in front of him.
Caught off guard, the boy was slapped away by the guardian spirit's claw.
Holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and supporting the blade with the other, Jianshan Huangquan chased the young man who was flying backwards in a thrusting posture.
Then he leaped into the air and slashed, cutting it in half.
He fell back to the ground, turned around again, and used a cross slash to split the body into six pieces.
"So, he should be dead, right?"
Looking at the fragments scattered on the ground, Jianshan Huangquan let out a sigh of relief.
"hehe....."
The boy's head fell to the ground and he suddenly laughed heartily.
"This is more interesting indeed..."
"Not dead yet?!"
Seeing that the boy's head could still speak, Jianshan Huangquan was shocked and rushed over and wanted to use the Lion King to split it in half.
"It seems that you won't accept this stone in the short term, but it doesn't matter. One day you will come to me and ask for it..."
After saying that, the boy's head and the rest of his body on the ground turned into countless blue butterflies and disappeared into the woods.
"....."
Watching the young man suddenly turn into a butterfly and disappear, Isayama Yomi silently put the Lion King back into the scabbard.
Return to the highway along the route you took.
Tsuchimiya Kagura, who was sitting on the ground to rest, immediately ran over to ask her how she was doing.
And Iwata Koji is still in a coma.
"Huang Quan, why are you doing this?"
Tsuchimiya Kagura looked at the wound on Isayama Yomi's arm nervously.
...
"It's okay."
After staring blankly at Tsuchimiya Kagura for a while with a look of concern on her face, Isayama Yomi suddenly smiled. She returned to her usual self and, regardless of how dirty both of them were, hugged Tsuchimiya Kagura into her arms.
Chapter 141 Extra Dinner
"Yellow Spring?"
When suddenly hugged by Isayama Yomi, Tsuchimiya Kagura was stunned at first, then she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.
After a moment, Jianshan Huangquan took the initiative to let go of his hand.
"I just went after the people who attacked us."
"So how's the situation?"
Tsuchimiya Kagura immediately asked about the result of Isayama Yomi's pursuit.
With Isayama Yomi's strength, I guess the guy who dared to attack them has been killed by her, right?
"Escaped."
When Jianshan Huangquan spoke, there was a slight pause in his tone.
However, Tsuchimiya Kagura did not notice this.
When she heard that the guy who caused everyone to be injured had escaped from Jianshan Huangquan, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she began to comfort Jianshan Huangquan, saying that he would definitely catch that guy next time.
"Um."
With a forced smile on his face, Isayama Yomi nodded.
Then the two of them worked together again to move the unconscious Koji Iwabata to a location farther away from the accident car to wait for rescue.
...
"Hehe, in that case, Komachi wins again!"
At home in Biqigu.
Because it was getting dark, the eight Hikigaya siblings lit candles in the living room and continued playing board games.
Finally, with Komachi's cheers, the first round of the game finally came to an end.
"This game is way too long..."Throwing the board game props in his hand on the sofa, Hikigaya Hachiman leaned back and rubbed his eyes which were a little tired from prolonged use.
A round of board games lasted almost two hours!
If Hikigaya Hachiman wasn't one of the players, he would never have believed that such a game existed in this world.
"That's because there are only two of us, right? And Onii-chan, you were really letting her win. You could have beaten Komachi several times..."
Komachi frowned as she spoke, but the smile on her face revealed that she was very happy that Hikigaya Hachiman gave in to her.
"Well, time to make dinner~"
After putting the table and chairs away, Komachi skipped to the kitchen.
"Just grab something to eat tonight."
Hikigaya Hachiman followed her closely with a candle, fearing that she would slip and fall to the ground.
"That won't do! Eating is a sacred thing, how can we mess around with it?!"
Komachi crossed her arms in front of her and rejected Hikigaya Hachiman's proposal.
But more than ten minutes later...
"Tonight's dinner is ramen..."
Komachi placed two bowls of watery ramen on the table, her face full of unhappiness.
She actually forgot that without electricity, there would be no way to cook rice.
"Okay, don't be angry. When the electricity comes back tomorrow, just show off your skills."
Patting Komachi's head to comfort her, Hikigaya Hachiman sat down opposite her, put his hands together and whispered "I'm starting", then picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat.
However, as soon as the chopsticks poked into the noodles, Hikigaya Hachiman felt obvious resistance.
"Isn't this guy secretly adding something else under the noodles?"
Looking up at Komachi across from him, who was only seeing bowls of ramen, Hikigaya Hachiman was secretly wondering.
Using chopsticks to push apart the noodles, he saw a poached egg and a cooked sausage.
"Really…"
Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head helplessly at Komachi's little act of secretly giving him extra food.
"hey-hey...."
On the other side, watching Hikigaya Hachiman eat the fried egg, Komachi felt a little proud.
After eating the fried eggs specially prepared by his lovely sister, if she asks to continue the game after dinner, Hikigaya Hachiman will definitely not refuse!
Komachi, eager to continue the game, also picked up her chopsticks, said some pre-dinner words, and picked up a handful of ramen.
"Ale?"
The weight on the chopsticks was clearly wrong.
Komachi put down the noodles and took a closer look. It turned out that there was a tempura hidden in the ramen.
Komachi instantly remembered the leftover cooked food from their lunch today.
"When was it put in?"
Looking at the pile of meat picked out from the bottom of the bowl.
While wondering how Hikigaya Hachiman managed to put all that food into her bowl, Komachi ate a luxurious ramen meal in big mouthfuls with a depressed look on her face.
"You're still too young..."
Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Komachi's depressed expression and smiled without saying anything.
You should know that his eyes have now been strengthened by spiritual power and have the ability to see at night.
So all the little moves that Komachi thought were perfect were actually seen through by him.
Soon, the whole bowl of ramen was eaten.
"I'm stuffed....."
After drinking the last of the noodle soup, Komachi wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and sat down on the sofa in a depressed mood, playing with his mobile phone.
Obviously, she had realized that her little trick had been discovered by Hikigaya Hachiman and countered.
He also finished the ramen and then put the dishes into the kitchen.
Under the dim candlelight, after washing the dishes and putting them in order, Hikigaya Hachiman wiped the water off his hands and walked to Komachi's side.
"Why are you sitting so close?"
Seeing Hikigaya Hachiman sitting over, Komachi's cheeks puffed up and she turned away from looking at Hikigaya Hachiman.
Obviously, she was still upset about what happened just now.
"Playing board games by candlelight is very harmful to the eyes."
Seeing Komachi ignoring him, Hikigaya Hachiman sat on the sofa and tried to make her understand his good intentions.
"Of course I know this, but I still want to play with Onii-chan."
Turning around, Komachi lay on her side facing Hikigaya Hachiman.
"Sorry, there's been so much going on lately..."
Hikigaya Hachiman had a look of helplessness on his face.
Most of those who came to him for help had already been directly possessed by evil spirits.
He couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
"Well, if only Komachi could help..."
Komachi certainly understood Hikigaya Hachiman's situation.
With Hikigaya Hachiman's good-natured personality, he would never sit idly by when others get into trouble, even if they don't ask for help.
"It's a shame I can't, isn't it?"
He placed his hand on Komachi's hair and stroked it.
While lamenting how lucky he was to have such a sister, Hikigaya Hachiman was also relieved that she couldn't help.
Although Tsuchimiya Kagura and Isayama Yomi look quite cool when they are able to fight, they are actually in danger all the time.
Just like on the tram today.
If he hadn't stopped her, the girl named Jianshan Huangquan would definitely have gone out to investigate the situation.
If the power on the rail suddenly comes back...
Thinking of that horrible appearance, Hikigaya Hachiman's heart suddenly beat violently twice.
As expected, it's really great that my sister is just an ordinary junior high school student.
Chapter 142 Yotsuya Miko in Danger
Not good....
Very bad...
Yotsuya Miko huddled in her bed, trying hard not to cry.
Today was supposed to be a normal weekend day.
Because Yurikawaka was busy reviewing her homework, the originally agreed weekend plan was cancelled.
Originally, Yotsuya Miko was relieved, thinking that she could stay at home and relax all day, enjoying life without being disturbed by evil spirits.
result.....
When I woke up from a nap, I found that there was a power outage at home.
When I went to the community to inquire about the situation, I was told that there was a large-scale power outage in the entire Chiba City.
At this point, Yotsuya Miko had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
After all, it was just a major power outage. With modern science and technology, I believe the workers will be able to successfully repair it at night, right?
Then my mother and brother called and said they couldn't come back tonight because of something...
It is understandable that her mother cannot come back to Yotsuya Miko because of work.
But his younger brother won't come at night. What is he trying to do?
He is just an elementary school student, don't talk about things that may cause misunderstandings, such as staying with classmates tonight!
However, after roaring in her heart for a while, Yotsuya Miko finally accepted the fact that she was the only one left at home again.
So, why did she say that again?
Woo woo woo, why do I suddenly feel like crying?
"Crying often is not a good habit. It will give the boy you like a bad impression of being weak."
Suddenly, I heard my father's voice.
Yotsuya Miko, who was twisting her head in her arms, suddenly paused, then stood up from the sofa with an expressionless face, changed her shoes at the entrance, went to the convenience store and bought some instant food for dinner.
Then when Yotsuya Miko finally returned home in the sunset carrying a plastic bag of things, she found a "surprise" waiting for her.
Eye.
An evil spirit covered with countless eyes was quietly hanging on the ceiling of the entrance.
When Yotsuya Miko raised her head and looked at it, countless eyes were instantly looking at her.
In an instant, Yotsuya Miko felt as if she had been seen naked, and her body began to tremble violently.
Just when she was about to give up and collapse, her father appeared by her side in time and told her to concentrate and not cry.
After covering her mouth and pretending to be afraid of being alone at home, Yotsuya Miko temporarily deceived the evil spirit with her acting skills.
Just as she was about to open the door and go out to stay at Yurikawa Hana's house tonight, an evil spirit with heads all over its body suddenly appeared behind her.
"Alas...."
The hand that was originally holding the door handle quickly loosened. Yotsuya Miko tried her best to stay calm, changed her shoes and entered the house. Then she ate something casually, didn't even take a shower, and went straight into her bed with her cloth
