What's there to be reluctant about? Kagura is no longer a child, she has her own opinions. Besides, I don't have much time left..."
As he spoke, Tugong Yale coughed twice, and the floor was immediately stained with blood.
"So you're almost at your limit?"
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Isayama Naraku looked at his friend with a complicated expression.
It's no wonder that he was willing to send his daughter out on a mission at this time.
"As the strongest, if the person behind the scenes wants to make a move, he will definitely attack the Tugong family first."
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Tugong Yale looked at her daughter with a loving face.
Although according to tradition, he should be passing on Shiraei to Tsuchimiya Kagura in his current situation.
But as a father, how could he possibly push his daughter into the fire pit with his own hands?
"It's almost certain that Shirai will be taken away. By doing this, at least the Tsuchimiya family can still retain hope, right?"
"Who will handle this matter then?"
If the three spiritual beasts are taken away, the psychics in Tokyo will completely lose the capital to resist.
At that time, who could prevent the catastrophe from happening?
"Ha ha...."
Hearing Isayama Naraku's worries, Tsuchimiya Masagaku suddenly laughed out loud.
"It seems that Naraku, you still don't know enough about the Exorcist Master."
"Don't you think they didn't anticipate this kind of thing?"
"They simply think the current problem isn't serious enough, so they don't want to intervene. Once things escalate to a certain point, and most of us are dead, the adults will probably activate their backup plan..."
Tugong Yale's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
What if he saw through the exorcist's intentions?
As an ant, if you want the protection of a giant, you have to pay a price.
Chapter 362 Wrong Transmission Location
Naraku Isayama took Kagura Tsuchimiya away.
At Tsuchimiya Masagaku's request, Tsuchimiya Kagura will stay at Isayama's house again until the whole incident is settled.
"Uncle Naraku, how long will it take for the expedition to depart?"
Late at night on the streets of Tokyo, Tsuchimiya Kagura sat in the back seat of a car, holding her weapon.
She stared at the desolate scene outside the window for a while, then turned around and asked about the progress of the campaign against Jianshan Huangquan and Jianshan Mei.
"The selection of candidates for the expedition team is still in progress, and it will probably take another day or so."
Isayama Naraku's tone was full of helplessness.
As one of the three great psychic families in Tokyo, it was actually unable to pick the right candidate right away. This was a sign of the family's weakness...
"Buzz..."
The phone rang from Tsuchimiya Kagura's pocket.
"Feel sorry."
After apologizing to Naraku Isayama, Kagura Tsuchimiya hurriedly took out her cell phone from her pocket. Then she was stunned when she saw the name displayed on the screen.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Tsuchimiya Kagura staring at her phone in a daze, Isayama Naraku, who had originally not cared, couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"No, it's nothing, just a call from a friend I know."
Giving Naraku Isayama a wry smile, Kagura Tsuchimiya quickly pressed the answer button, then turned her whole body to the side.
"Kagura, what's the situation in Tokyo now?"
Hikigaya Hachiman, who had just been randomly teleported to a street in Tokyo by the second shrine maiden, looked around at the evil spirits surrounding him and asked about the current situation in Tokyo.
"Very bad."
After hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's question, Tsuchimiya Kagura hesitated for a moment and then described the current situation as more serious.
"Is it really bad? I think so..."
The evil spirits around him were not worth Hachiman Hikigaya's demon-slaying sword. He lightly tapped the air with his finger, and a thin stream of spirit appeared around his body.
Then, under the control of Hikigaya Hachiman's mind, he easily swept away the evil spirits around him.
"Although there were a lot of Tokyo Ghosts when I came here last time, they were nowhere near as numerous as they are now."
Hearing the system prompt that the previous battle had earned him nearly a thousand spirit coins, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but feel worried about the situation.
You have to know that most of the evil spirits in the group just now were low-level evil spirits.
But even so, after a battle, nearly a thousand spirit coins are lost, which fully demonstrates how huge the number of evil spirits in Tokyo is now.
"Have those two people been found?"
After dealing with the evil spirit blocking the way, Hikigaya Hachiman continued to ask about the whereabouts of Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei on the phone.
After all, those two are now puppets of the Nine-Tailed Fox. To a certain extent, the Nine-Tailed Fox's current plans can be inferred from what they do.
"some."
He looked back at Isayama Naraku, then Tsuchimiya Kagura lowered her voice and told him about the incident in which the spirit beasts of the Isayama and Kisuna families were taken away.
"So the Nine-Tailed Fox's next target is the Tsuchimiya family?"
After listening to Tsuchimiya Kagura's brief explanation of the situation of the three families, Hikigaya Hachiman came to the same conclusion as Tsuchimiya Gagaku.
"That's probably true. Big Brother, where are you now? Can you come to Tokyo and help us?"
Because Hikigaya Hachiman went back during the day, Tsuchimiya Kagura did not know that Hikigaya Hachiman had arrived in Tokyo.
Hearing that Hikigaya Hachiman was so concerned about the situation in Tokyo, Tsuchimiya Kagura subconsciously wanted to ask this exorcist to join the battlefield as reinforcements.
"I'm already in Tokyo."
"Huh?!"
Hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's answer, Tsuchimiya Kagura suddenly stood up from her seat, ignoring Isayama Naraku's surprised look.
Of course, the consequences of doing so are also very obvious...
"Ugh, that hurts…"
Her head hit the roof of the car, and Tsuchimiya Kagura almost squatted down immediately.
However, the physical pain could not suppress the joy in her heart at the moment.
After all, if Hikigaya Hachiman comes to Tokyo at this time, he must be planning to deal with what is happening now, right?
"Um, big brother, where are you now?"
Tsuchimiya Kagura, who wished she could grow a pair of wings so she could fly to Hikigaya Hachiman immediately, quickly asked about Hikigaya Hachiman's location.
"I think I'm in... Akihabara right now?"
Hearing Tsuchimiya Kagura's question, Hikigaya Hachiman looked around, trying to find some landmark coordinates.
However, when he looked up and carefully observed the situation around him, he suddenly realized that the street he was on did not seem to be an ordinary shopping street...
"A-Akihabara?!"
Tsuchimiya Kagura was indeed surprised to hear Hikigaya Hachiman's answer.
But then she felt relieved again.
After all, no one has stipulated that an exorcist can't have some special hobbies, right?
"Don't get the wrong idea. Although I enjoy otaku culture, I'm far from being perverted. The reason I'm here is simply because there were some minor issues with the teleportation location..."
Hearing Tsuchimiya Kagura's tone, Hikigaya Hachiman knew that the other party must be thinking about something strange.
In order to prevent his reputation from becoming confusing, he quickly began to explain.
"Is that so..."
Sure enough, after listening to Hikigaya Hachiman's explanation, Tsuchimiya Kagura's tone became relaxed.
"Of course it is!"
Hikigaya Hachiman felt like crying but had no tears.
I came here with a passionate attitude to fight the nine-tailed fox, so why should I be treated as a pervert?
"Sorry. Please wait here for a moment, big brother. I'll be right there..."
After saying that, Tsuchimiya Kagura raised her head and ordered the driver in front to change route to Akihabara.
"Are you going to pick up your friend?"
Isayama Naraku, who had been resting with his eyes closed since Tsuchimiya Kagura answered the phone, opened his eyes after the call ended.
"That's right. Sorry, Uncle Naraku, we have to take a detour."
"That's fine. I think you must have your reasons for doing this. Besides, I'm quite interested in that big brother you mentioned."
Isayama Naraku smiled kindly, his eyes full of anticipation for meeting Hikigaya Hachiman.
After all, Tsuchimiya Kagura's strength is at the general level, but she is still so respectful to the man on the other end of the phone.
In his understanding, it can only be that person, right?
However, compared to his excitement about meeting the legendary adult, Isayama Naraku was more curious about Tsuchimiya Kagura at this time.
How did this little girl in front of me get into a conversation with that adult?
And from what they were talking about, it seemed like they had a pretty good relationship...
Chapter 363 Power Recovery
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, big brother..."
First Chapter Previous Chapter 288/300More than twenty minutes later.
Under the constant urging of Tsuchimiya Kagura, the car finally drove in front of Hikigaya Hachiman.
"fine."
Looking at the girl in front of him who was both anxious and excited, Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head slightly.
"Hello, sir. I am Naraku Isayama, the head of the Isayama family of this generation."
It was different from the friendly greetings between Tsuchimiya Kagura and Hikigaya Hachiman.
When Isayama Naraku got off the car and saw Hikigaya Hachiman for the first time, he lowered his posture to a very low level.
"Get up."
Although he didn't want to put on airs, Hikigaya Hachiman knew that being too easygoing would cause all sorts of unnecessary troubles.
Nodding coldly, Hikigaya Hachiman then walked past Isayama Naraku who was bowing to him and the driver, and sat directly in the center seat of the back seat of the car.
"Kagura, you should go too."
After pushing Tsuchimiya Kagura, who was stunned by the change in Hikigaya Hachiman's attitude, Isayama Naraku urged her to go back to the back seat of the car.
"Huh?"
After hearing Isayama Naraku's reminder, Tsuchimiya Kagura realized that after Hikigaya Hachiman sat down in the back seat, there was still an empty space for someone.
Obviously this was left for her.
"What about you, uncle?"
Looking at the space that could only accommodate one person, Tsuchimiya Kagura bit her thin lips.
As her elder and also the head of the Isayama family, it is reasonable that Naraku Isayama should take that position, right?
"Your Excellency's attitude has already made it clear that I'm not qualified to sit in that seat. I'll just take the passenger seat later. Okay, hurry up and get in. If you make Your Excellency wait for you and you get upset, I'm afraid we'll all be blamed."
"That's... okay."
Under the urging of Naraku Isayama, Kagura Tsuchimiya had no choice but to sit next to Hachiman Hikigaya.
"Bang!"
As Tsuchimiya Kagura sat down in the back seat, the driver walked over to close the door, but found that the car's back door closed automatically.
"...Let's go up too."
Isayama Naraku looked at the driver, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then they all got into the car.
....
The group arrived at the Isayama family's residence in silence.
Under Isayama Naraku's arrangement, the room that should have belonged to the head of the family was temporarily vacated and given to Hikigaya Hachiman to live in, and Tsuchimiya Kagura was also specially arranged to live next to Hikigaya Hachiman.
After sending away the Isayama clan members who came to show their courtesy, Hikigaya Hachiman first set up a soundproof barrier in his entire house, and then looked at Tsuchimiya Kagura who was in the room looking depressed.
"Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask. Stop looking so sad."
"Why was Big Brother so cold in his reaction to Uncle Naraku just now?"
After hearing what Hikigaya Hachiman said, Tsuchimiya Kagura raised her head and asked the doubts in her heart.
In her mind, Hikigaya Hachiman has always been a gentle older brother, so why does he become like a different person when facing Isayama Naraku?
"Kagura, did you misunderstand something?"
Hearing Tsuchimiya Kagura's question, Hikigaya Hachiman held his forehead helplessly.
"Did I understand wrongly?"
Tilting her head in confusion, she looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, and Tsuchimiya Kagura was a little curious about what she had misunderstood.
"I wasn't being so cold towards Naraku Isayama specifically because I was targeting him. It's just that I'm generally cold towards everyone except those I know well!"
"..."
Hikigaya Hachiman's words stunned Tsuchimiya Kagura.
"Okay, let's talk about our next plan."
Looking at Tsuchimiya Kagura who was in a daze, Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head and then sat down at the low table.
"Okay, okay!"
Hearing what Hikigaya Hachiman said, Tsuchimiya Kagura quickly came out of her dazed state and then moved closer to Hikigaya Hachiman.
....
Suburbs of Tokyo.
In a long-abandoned shrine.
"Why did Master Nine-Tailed Fox call us here?"
Isayama Mei, wearing a white kimono, was the first to step into the main space of the shrine.
Her eyes first scanned the entire dilapidated house, and finally focused her gaze right in front of her.
There, the place where the statue of the god should have been placed is now occupied by a girl in a coma.
"Since the Lord has asked us to come, there must be a reason for it."
Unlike his activeness before becoming a puppet, after becoming a puppet of the nine-tailed fox, Isayama Yomi became as taciturn as the former Isayama Mei.
Also walking into the shrine, Isayama Yomi also noticed the girl on the altar.
Not only that, the bracelet on the girl's left wrist at this moment made her feel extremely familiar.
Isayama Yomi was almost certain that she had seen the same bracelet somewhere in her past, but for some reason, just when she was about to remember, her mind suddenly went blank.
"You're here."
The voice of the nine-tailed fox suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
Jianshan Huangquan quickly suppressed the confusion in his heart and turned around and knelt on one knee in front of the nine-tailed fox like Jianshan Ming.
"Lord Nine-Tailed Fox!" x2
"Did you bring the stuff?"
Ignoring the two people's courtesy towards him, the nine-tailed fox walked directly in front of Yurikawa Hana.
Reaching out and caressing the other's face, the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes flashed with a fiery warmth after feeling the vast vitality within him.
If it were to be reborn in the body of this girl, it would not only be able to recover all its strength, but it might even be able to advance even further, reaching a height that no ghost or god had ever reached...
"This is the spirit beast of the Noriyama family and the Isayama family."
After hearing the words of the nine-tailed fox, Jianshan Huangquan and Jianshan Ming respectfully raised the spirit beasts they had previously snatched above their heads.
The white fox trapped in the cage and trying to escape was so scared that it collapsed to the ground after seeing the nine-tailed fox.
On the other side, the Nue in the Lion King's sword, after feeling the pressure from the Nine-tailed Fox, actually came out of the blade on its own without anyone drawing their sword, roaring and threatening the Nine-tailed Fox.
"White Fox, Nue. Has my power transformed into such a waste?"
The nine-tailed fox stared at the two spirit beasts in front of it with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, it raised its hand towards the two spirit beasts.
Suddenly, a huge suction force came from the palm of its hand.
The white fox in the cage had no strength to resist. With a wail, it disappeared into the palm of the nine-tailed fox.
On the other side, the spiritual beast Nue named Luan Honglian was obviously more powerful. It kept kicking the ground with its limbs, trying to resist the suction on the surface of its body.
But resistance is ultimately futile.
As the power of the white fox returned to the body of the nine-tailed fox, the pressure faced by Nue suddenly increased!
"roar!"
An unwilling roar just came out of its mouth, and then it stopped abruptly.
Chapter 364 Are you an undercover agent?
"A familiar feeling of power..."
As Nue was sucked into the Nine-tailed Fox's body, a tremendous force began to burst out from the Nine-tailed Fox's body.
If one could see through things at this moment, one would see that the heart position of the human form of the nine-tailed fox was occupied by a piece of broken jade.
As the renewed power of Nue and the white fox flowed through the body of the nine-tailed fox, the originally bumpy jade began to gradually become round, and the damaged areas began to be repaired automatically.
"We're still missing Bai Rui!"
The repair of the jade stopped halfway.
Feeling that his core was only about one-third short of being full, the nine-tailed fox suddenly opened his eyes.
"Huangquan, Ming."
"I'm here."
When they heard the nine-tailed fox mention their names, Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei lowered their heads and responded.
"Starting tomorrow, each of you will bring your evil spirits with you to wreak chaos on Tokyo."
"yes!"
The Nine-tailed Fox's order made Isayama Yomi very surprised.
It is obvious that the nine-tailed fox is much stronger than Shirayui's sealer, Tsuchimiya Masara. Why didn't it choose to capture Shirayui today, but instead let her and Jianshan Mei go out to cause trouble?
"You guys go down."
The nine-tailed fox obviously had no intention of solving Isayama Yomi's confusion. After giving the order, it waved its hand to signal the two to retreat.
"Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
After leaving the shrine, Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei walked down the mountain side by side.
"Where do you want to go?"
Isayama Yomi did not answer Isayama Mei's question, but asked a question in return.Of course it's the Isayama family's side."
Isayama Mei, whose consciousness and sense of good and evil had been completely rewritten, answered quite easily.
"Then I'll go to the side you choose."
"..."
After hearing Jianshan Huangquan's answer, Jianshan Ming was silent for a while, then shrugged and said, "It's up to you," and quickened his pace.
.....
The next morning.
The urgent alarm woke the entire Isayama family from their sleep.
"What a big event."
Hikigaya Hachiman, who had just woken up, walked out of his room and looked up to see a scene that he would never forget - an inky black barrier was like an upside-down bowl above the Isayama family's residence, and beneath the barrier was a dense, endless army of evil spirits!
"The number of evil spirits up there is probably over ten thousand."
Looking at the dark swarm of evil spirits above his head, even Hikigaya Hachiman, who had seen a lot of the world, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
Indeed, if so many evil spirits were eliminated, the amount of spirit coins he would obtain would be an astronomical figure.
But he was also certain that before he eliminated all the evil spirits, all the humans in the entire barrier except him would definitely die before the evil spirits!
Just as the Isayama family on the ground was thrown into chaos by the sudden army of evil spirits, an evil spirit that looked like a big bird flew out from the army of evil spirits.
"What is that?"
Looking at the figure on the evil spirit's back, Hikigaya Hachiman frowned.
"Master Nine-Tailed Fox asked me to bring some small gifts to greet the Isayama family."
Standing on the back of the bird-shaped evil spirit, Isayama Yomi used spiritual power to spread his voice to every inch of land in the Isayama family.
"You call this a little gift?"
Hearing what Isayama Yomi said, Hikigaya Hachiman's mouth twitched.
"Yellow Spring..."
Suddenly, Tsuchimiya Kagura's disappointed voice sounded beside him.
Looking back, he saw that Tsuchimiya Kagura had stood behind him with a katana in hand. She was looking at Isayama Yomi in the sky with a group of evil spirits coming to destroy the Isayama family with a look of shock, sadness and disappointment.
"....."
Looking at the frightened crowd on the ground, Jianshan Huangquan was about to say something else, but suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
She looked down and her gaze met Tsuchimiya Kagura's.
"Kagura…"
Subconsciously, Isayama Yomi called out Tsuchimiya Kagura's name.
As the name came out, Isayama Yomi suddenly felt uneasy as if he had lost something important.
"What's wrong with me?"
Holding his forehead, Jianshan Huangquan felt the inexplicable changes in his body.
She stopped talking, waved her hand gently to the group of evil spirits behind her and gave them the order to attack, then controlled the bird-shaped evil spirits to escape from the Isayama family's residence.
"Big brother!"
Looking at the dark evil spirits falling towards the ground like black rain, Tsuchimiya Kagura turned to look at Hikigaya Hachiman.
The Isayama family, without any defense, would definitely not be able to resist such a large number of evil spirits!
The only one with hope now is Hikigaya Hachiman.
"I see."
Hearing Tsuchimiya Kagura's call, Hikigaya Hachiman sighed.
Should we say that he is lucky or unlucky?
I had just stayed at the Isayama family for one night, and this happened.
"Damn it! I wanted to be treated like a VIP and enjoy myself. But now I'm going to be a laborer!"
Hikigaya Hachiman complained, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
Accompanied by countless spiritual powers continuously pouring out.
Just when the evil spirit was only a few meters away from the ground, a silver barrier unfolded from Hikigaya Hachiman as the center, and in less than half a second it quickly expanded to the sky above the entire Isayama family residence.
"Bang, bang, bang…"
The attacks of the evil spirits hit the surface of the barrier like dense raindrops, causing ripples but remaining motionless.
"Did the adults take action?"
At Isayama's house, Naraku Isayama, who was directing his clansmen to take refuge, looked up at the silver barrier above his head, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
With such enormous power, is it true that the exorcist is an unattainable existence?
.
"It's a bit hard to unfold it so much at once..."
In the courtyard where Hikigaya Hachiman was, feeling the spiritual power rapidly draining away from his body, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but feel a little scared of his previous "feat".
If Alaya had not given him the ability of infinite spiritual power, he would have been drained dry the moment the evil spirit attacked the barrier.
"But it's good that it's stabilized, isn't it?"
Looking up at the group of evil spirits above the barrier, Hikigaya Hachiman curled up his lips into a smile.
Such a huge number of evil spirits was like someone delivering a pillow to him just when he was about to fall asleep because he was short of spirit coins.
"Then I won't be polite..."
After glancing at the group of evil spirits with fiery eyes and saying hello to Tsuchimiya Kagura, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately rushed into the sky and started harvesting!
Chapter 365: Status Break
"Um?"
The nine-tailed fox, which was nurturing its core in an abandoned shrine, suddenly felt that the number of evil spirits under its control was rapidly decreasing.
Its eyelids trembled a few times, and then it opened its eyes suddenly.
"What happened?"
I had asked Jianshan Huangquan and Jianshan Mei to lead the evil spirit army to attack the headquarters of the psychic families that had not yet united. How could the counterattack of those scattered psychics be so strong?
"Ming, how's the situation over there?"
Jianshan Mei stood on the back of a bird-shaped evil spirit, looking down at an unknown family being slaughtered on the ground.
Suddenly the voice of the nine-tailed fox sounded in her mind.
"Everything is fine."
Although the nine-tailed fox was not beside him, Jianshan Mei still behaved very respectfully.
However, after hearing the Nine-tailed Fox's question, Jianshan Mei felt a little uneasy. After all, the Nine-tailed Fox didn't seem like the kind of person who would care about the progress of their mission for no reason.
"Something happened in Huangquan?"
Jianshan Mei quickly calculated in his mind.
But how could something happen to Jianshan Huangquan?
You have to know that the Nine-Tailed Fox gave them more than 15,000 evil spirits in total, and she only took away more than 5,000. The rest are all with Jianshan Huangquan.
"Stop the task you're doing and go to Isayama's house and bring all the evil spirits back to me!"
After confirming that the problem was not with Isayama Mei, the nine-tailed fox immediately took over Isayama Yomi's body and remotely controlled her to return to the abandoned shrine.
"I see."
After hearing the words of the nine-tailed fox, Jianshan Mei immediately gave the order to stop, and then flew towards the Jianshan family with more than 5,000 evil spirits with almost no losses.
.
Above the Isayama family's headquarters, the intelligent evil spirits, looking at Hikigaya Hachiman who was killing everyone, had already started to think about escaping.
However, how could Hikigaya Hachiman, who had tasted the sweetness, easily let his spirit coin bag go?
A stream of spirits shot up into the sky and headed towards the edge of the evil spirit group.
Except for a very small number of evil spirits who ran fast enough to escape from the barrier that blocked the sunlight, the rest of the evil spirits were blocked by the spiritual flow.
As the second spiritual flow was summoned by Hikigaya Hachiman, a small part of the evil spirits in the field were immediately cleared out.
Listening to the system report that his spirit coin balance was rising rapidly, Hikigaya Hachiman took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down and continue clearing the area.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Suddenly, the system made a 'ding' sound, which was different from the prompt sound for reporting spirit coin income, waking up the already numb Hikigaya Hachiman from harvester mode.
[Congratulations to the host for exceeding 500,000 Spirit Coins. It has also been detected that the host meets the upgrade requirements. Would you like to begin the path to godhood?]
"The path to godhood?"
Hikigaya Hachiman's originally dull eyes gradually regained clarity.
After his strength was raised to the peak of the emperor level by the exorcist in Kansai, he had actually been trying to break through.
But no matter how hard he tried, he felt that this was his limit.
[Is it enabled?]
The system did not know what Hikigaya Hachiman was feeling at the moment. After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Hikigaya Hachiman, it urged him again.
"certainly."
Although it is unknown how long it will take to save up 500,000 spirit coins next time, isn't the purpose of saving spirit coins to be spent at critical moments?
[Spirit coins are being deducted, starting to break the host's rank limit...]
As the system prompt sounded, Hikigaya Hachiman felt the sound of something breaking next to his ears.
