"Choose B."
Bai Cangshu's Logic for choosing the reward was actually very simple; this drop card, because the opponent's kill points were too low, resulted in generally low reward values.
The only 'value-retaining' and most practical option was the attribute point reward in C.
Among the remaining options, in terms of items, because the number of available rewards was too small and the opponent didn't show anything special, Bai Cangshu felt that instead of sifting through garbage, it would be better to take a specialty; even if it wasn't something he urgently needed, it would still be somewhat useful.
The result wasn't bad; it gave him Footstep Mastery.
Bai Cangshu felt the spasms in his muscles; his strength had increased once again. This feeling of rapid improvement indeed gave a sense of addictive intoxication.
Bai Cangshu felt that perhaps Culprit Reincarnators didn't need any extra stimulation at all; they would step by step walk towards a destiny of constantly hunting Reincarnators to strengthen themselves, then forming enmities, and then continuing to fight.
And sooner or later, on a certain day, be killed by a certain Reincarnator or a group of Reincarnators, ending their Sinful life.
"Culprit Reincarnator, truly a fitting name."
Bai Cangshu at this moment recalled the rumor about the Black King Society that the Professor had transmitted to him at the end. It was clear that the other party was subtly advising him that unlimited killing would invite disaster in the Space.
Bai Cangshu sat on top of the train, a silver full moon hanging high above his head.
I was really underestimated. I've always been a good citizen who resists temptation and abides by the law.
The night wind was very strong, constantly blowing Bai Cangshu's scattered hair around. Under the moonlight, his face was filled with a certain excitement.
He could already see the increasing number of 'torii' appearing in the mountains and fields in the distance; this was the biggest characteristic of the city of Kyoto.
As the cultural center of Japan that has continued since the Heian Era, various shrines have long become Kyoto's signature.
What's more ironic is that Kibutsuji Muzan, the existence that should be most abhorred by the gods, now lives in this Kyoto.
And that Prince Yuhito, the man who would later become the reigning emperor who caused Japan to launch a catastrophic war across Asia, was also in Kyoto at this time.
Bai Cangshu's smile became more unrestrained.
He wasn't deceiving himself. Bai Cangshu liked [Order] and respected [Order].
During the years he grew up in East Xia, while being feared for being different, he was also... pitied for being different.
Bai Cangshu wasn't the kind of teenager in those chuunibyou stories; he didn't feel disgusted by being pitied. On the contrary, he thought humans were a very amazing species.
They would actually feel pity for something stronger than themselves.
Bai Cangshu touched the location of his heart.
Is it because those people have a stronger heart...?
Several images flashed through Bai Cangshu's mind like a quick slideshow. It seemed someone had said something to him, but just as he tried to recall it carefully, everything disappeared.
"Arriving at Kyoto!"
As the attendants began to remind passengers in each carriage, the train also started to slow down. After almost a night's train journey, the few of them arrived at the place where intense fighting would likely occur in this mission.
Bai Cangshu didn't wait for the others. He directly jumped from the top of the train, like a flapping crane, leaping nearly ten meters in the air and landing on the field outside the tracks.
He then quickly disappeared into the night.
He had already discussed the so-called countermeasures with the others. What needed to be done next was nothing more than waiting for the slaughter at dawn.
Bai Cangshu walked from the field towards the city. Under the moonlit night, there was no trace of anyone in the field.
But fine footsteps suddenly sounded from behind Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu's footsteps paused, and the sound completely disappeared. When Bai Cangshumoved again, the sound reappeared.
Bai Cangshu's eyebrows twitched. He turned back to check his surroundings. In fact, Bai Cangshu's senses were sharp; he knew there was nothing behind him. He turned back, his hawk-like eyes scanning the low-lying field and the trees on both sides of the railway.
He found nothing.
It was neither an Ogre coming to seek death nor a frightened small beast.
Bai Cangshu's brows furrowed slightly. His Ripple was subconsciously about to surge, but suddenly, Bai Cangshu remembered the special nature of this world and that special milestone.
[Spirit Seer (Rare): See a spirit body]
In the Demon Slayer World, it's not just the existence of 'demons' like Kibutsuji Muzan; there's no doubt that spirit bodies indeed exist in this world.
Those who died with good intentions always lingered somewhere in the world, unwilling to leave in order to see the people they cherished.
Bai Cangshu didn't expect to encounter this situation. He wasn't afraid; Bai Cangshu even directly went at the most heinous Ogres in this world with his fists.
He just wasn't sure how he should handle the current situation.
This guy was clearly right beside him, yet he couldn't see it.
Is it because he doesn't have the ability or qualification to see spirit bodies, or... is it because the other party doesn't want him to see?
Bai Cangshu glanced at the brightly lit city in the distance, unwilling to give up this milestone marked 'Rare'.
In various anime worlds, 'spirits' are also a very versatile concept. It's hard to say if this kind of milestone will affect the acquisition of any precious power system later on.
Bai Cangshu tried to continue walking forward, and sure enough, the footsteps reappeared. Bai Cangshu changed direction, and the sound was still there.
Only when Bai Cangshu walked towards the train did the sound disappear.
It didn't want to go onto the train or the train tracks?
Bai Cangshu looked around and suddenly noticed the numerous torii gates. A thought struck him, and he walked towards that place.
The footsteps behind him indeed reappeared.
When Bai Cangshu arrived at the foot of the mountain, he raised his head and saw a huge torii gate standing before the mountain entrance. The path behind it was entirely built of stone, with fox statues on both sides.
The stairs leading to the shrine at the summit were covered by rows of small torii gates, resembling a red tunnel.
After he attempted to step through the mountain entrance, the footsteps behind him slowed down.
Was it scared?
Amidst Bai Cangshu's surprise and doubt, a voice suddenly sounded.
"I didn't expect Mr. to be able to bring this child back. Is this the revelation from the Inari God?"
The Old Man, dressed in a red skirt and white jacket, was very dignified. He appeared to be a Shinto Priest or high priest of the shrine. The Old Man's hair and beard were all white, and he looked at Bai Cangshu as if looking at someone incredible.
Bai Cangshu's mouth curved up, revealing his signature smile.
He never believed in coincidences or divine revelations. Moreover, he was a Reincarnator, a predator to this world. Although the Old Man appeared solemn and dignified, Bai Cangshusmelled Conspiracy.
The Old Shinto Priest didn't wait for Bai Cangshu to speak. He formed a hand seal, and the footsteps behind Bai Cangshu instantly became clear.
The next moment, a young girl wearing a miko outfit, less than fifty centimeters tall, appeared behind Bai Cangshu.
The girl's two ears protruded from her fluffy hair, her eyes were wine-red, and a tail extended from beneath her red skirt.
[You have seen a spirit body in this world, completing the milestone Spirit Seer (Rare)]
[Spirit Seer - You will have a probability of seeing spirit bodies. The probability is linked to your Mental state and the strength of the spirit body. Each time you encounter a spirit body, your Mental state has a small chance of increasing]
[You have unlocked a subsequent milestone: Spirit Toucher (Rare) - Successfully touch a spirit body and survive]
At the same time, the Professor appeared below the mountain entrance. He looked at Bai Cangshu, who had somehow found this shrine before him, slightly lost in thought.
"Mr. Tao Bai Bai, are you also here to seek assistance?"
Could it be that the other party isn't the so-called Great Sin system Reincarnator? But some type that can receive revelations like himself?
"Oh human, I have a request."
The fox young girl, suspected to be a God's Messenger of the Inari God, spoke thus. Bai Cangshureached out to grab her head, but only felt the temperature in his hand slightly decrease, without touching anything.
