Chapter 119 In Modern Times

"Am I... looking weird?"

Walking on the street at night, Kikyo felt a little unnatural, reached out and pulled the sleeve of someone next to him, and asked in a low voice.

Because there are too many people around, it is a flow of people that she has never imagined before.After all, what is the comparison between the population density of villages and towns in the Warring States Period and a super city like Tokyo in the modern world?

It was bustling and bustling, not to mention the exaggeration of being so crowded and pushing each other, but looking around, the population of a street was far beyond her imagination.

And the large number of people is not the main problem. The problem is that the rate of turning heads is too high. Miko seems to have become the focus of the whole street, attracting countless envious eyes... I don't know if I am too amazing, or even not at all. Thinking about this aspect, Miko subconsciously felt that there might be something wrong with her.

"Is it possible that there are no witches in this era..."

After hesitating for a while, she still asked in such a low voice.

This was the first thing she thought of, and she thought it might be because her style of painting was in conflict with the world 500 years later. The person next to her didn't have such a problem, because his clothes were very suitable for this era... only Du himself is dressed in a white robe and scarlet hakama, and under his feet is a shrine maiden outfit with white foot bags and straw sandals.

It's completely out of place, maybe because this profession no longer exists in this world after 500 years?
Probably because of this, it attracted too many surprised eyes, right?

"It's not for this reason. Even in my year, in this country, witches are not a rare monster that is rarely refreshed..." Gu Mo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and then he shook his head, somewhat Playfully comforting Kikyo, he explained.

Of course, it can't be because of this reason. After all, miko is still an important occupation in Japan until modern times.

Especially in modern times, there are no strict restrictions on becoming a witch, and this profession is no longer limited to the status of a sacred psychic. To some extent, it has probably become more common. Some modern women will go to shrines to work , as a part-time witch...

"Really? Then why are they all looking at me like that?"

Kikyo frowned slightly, a little unsure if what this person said was true or not, although the tone did not seem to be fake, but the strange eyes she felt from people were real.

"Isn't this a matter of course? Of course it's because you are beautiful and have a good temperament, Kikyo. It's not surprising that you get so much attention."

Gu Mo shook his head with a smile and said, do we need to talk about this kind of thing?At the same time, he looked around very casually, all he saw were the eyes pretending to be calm or dodging in panic, and there were also a few girls who were very bold and looked at him with bright eyes without concealing themselves.

As a matter of course, not only Miko was noticed, but he himself also attracted a lot of attention and turned heads.

"..." Kikyo gently turned his face away, without saying a word.

She didn't breathe a sigh of relief because of his answer, on the contrary, she seemed more or less unnatural, and even her eyes became a little strange.

Because no one has ever said such a thing to her, she feels very awkward now-she is a witch, and she has always been very aware of this, but she is also a girl, but only in this point But never had this self-awareness.

At this time, Gu Mo also felt that the degree of attention was a bit high. He originally wanted to tell the witch to go faster, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

Kikyo's feeling for this era is obviously very novel. She was full of doubts and curiosity about everything she saw along the way, but she didn't show it very obviously, and she still maintained a considerable degree of calm, just from time to time. Will ask him a question in a low voice.

No one can see such a calm and calm performance. They probably think that this is a modern witch...

And Kikyo's performance like this also dispelled Gu Mo's desire to walk faster... After all, it was the first time seeing her with such interest, so it's better to let the witch have fun.Even just in this short period of time along the way, the frequency of Kikyo talking to herself was higher than before.

Thinking of this, Gu Mo couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, wondering if he should be happy at this time.

"What's the one in front?"

The witch's whisper sounded again, and there was a hint of surprise in her calm gaze. While staring at the front, she asked this question softly.

"That's the entrance of the subway station. People gather there to take the subway below...that's the car I told you before. You should simply understand that the subway is an upgraded version of their vehicle, which can carry more vehicles at the same time. It's fine." Gu Mo glanced at the front and quickly explained.

Although his explanations are not accurate at all, they are the most suitable style for the current Miko, allowing her to understand various novelties relatively quickly and form a basic general understanding of the modern world.

Perhaps this can also be used as a preparation for future plans...

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Gu Mo didn't think about it, he just stretched his hands and looked around again.Where his gaze swept across, many pairs of eyes that accidentally met his gaze immediately looked away in panic.

Regarding the strange traits of "inconspicuous", "easy to be ignored", and "low sense of existence" that he acquired during the process of deification in the previous world, they could not play their due role in this occasion.

Because it itself is an inadvertent influence after all, which can make it easier for him to be ignored when he has not been noticed in the first place, and he is in a psychological blind spot.But if others have been affected for some reason and have shifted their focus...

Then this trait will naturally lose its effect, and it is impossible to force people to ignore his existence.

Just like at Higurashi's house before, Grandpa Higurashi knew that there was someone in the storage room when he heard the voice of him or the scabbard. When he opened the storage room, he was naturally the first to discover his existence... Because it's been noticed, that's what it is.

It's the same now, if it's Gu Mo wandering around the street at night, there must be no problem.

But he is now walking side by side with the witch.

Therefore, after Kikyo naturally attracted a lot of attention, it is naturally impossible to say that others will ignore his existence.But the bad news is that he is walking with Kikyo, and the good news is that he is walking with Kikyo, so although many young people are eager to make a move, no one can't think about it in the end.

The maiden's temperament made people look sideways, and I don't know how many men who pretended to be calm, after passing by as if nothing had happened, still couldn't help but look back frequently.

However, Gu Mo is also not bad, the passive charm brought by the possession of the nine tails alone is enough to crush, and it is difficult for ordinary people to resist.Especially with the growth of his own body and the improvement of attributes, correspondingly, his own "capacity" has become larger, which can accommodate the greater power of Nine Tails, and these additional side effects have also been strengthened to some extent.

But precisely because of this, the existence of the two of them has instead become an obstacle for each other to prevent others from coming up to strike up a conversation.

It's not that Gu Mo didn't see some Shibuya hot girl style girls, probably quite outgoing girls, but they appeared in his line of sight several times, walking over aggressively as if to cheer him up, but they haven't walked halfway yet , I couldn't help being discouraged again, staring at the figure of the witch with great resentment and chose to retreat.

Their own style is definitely quite bold, but facing Kikyo's unintentional suppression in all aspects, all the courage in their stomachs turned into depression.

Thinking of what happened before he entered this dungeon world, Gu Mo held his chin and nodded thoughtfully, so it is not without reason that he would be entangled. Those little girls rely on how bold they are, and see By himself, he felt that he was easy to bully...

If he was walking with the witch, it would definitely be able to effectively prevent such a commotion from happening.

"There is a mall..."

Seeing that the maiden slowed down again, and her eyes were locked on the commercial center with a huge traffic on the opposite side, Gu Mo thoughtfully explained again: "It is a place made up of various shops, where you can easily buy all kinds of shopping malls. things, basically everything..."

"Have everything?"

"Yeah, food, clothing, play, all kinds of materials that ordinary people need in life, and things that can be imagined, can basically be bought in these places..."

Gu Mo nodded and said while wringing his fingers, he is naturally used to this kind of place, but in the eyes of the witch, it is probably a place that deserves attention and surprises her... In fact, modern big cities What aspect of him did not surprise her?

He was even keenly aware of Kikyo's restraint. Just like before, she should not care about other people's strange eyes, let alone show that wavering look to him... Probably because she came to a place suddenly In a completely unfamiliar world, the past experience and insights cannot be used in the new environment.

If Kikyo was the only one, it would still be that cold and rigorous awe-inspiring priestess, and she could handle it well.

But there is Gu Mo here, someone she is familiar with, and can understand her, but at the same time, he is more familiar with this strange world than her, so he can help her face this strange world better - people often live without When you can rely on it, you subconsciously choose to be strong, and vice versa.

"A mall? It's really good...it's better to say it's great."

Kikyo stared at the large shopping mall where the flow of people in front of the main entrance was swarming like ants, and an unknown number of people came and went in and out of it every moment. After a long while, she nodded slightly and said.

Her tone was inexplicable, as if she was a little envious, but Gu Mo knew that she was not starting from her own point of view, but from the entire era she lived in... because in that time of war, hunger and cold were the norm. In an age of precarity, it is hard to imagine such a thing.

"Should we go in and take a look?" Gu Mo thought about it, and tentatively extended the invitation. From his perspective of later generations, he actually felt that the shopping malls of this era were relatively backward, with a strong sense of retro color, after all Even mobile phones were still in the Motorola era.

But it was not meant for him to read, so the Miko's opinion is still the main one.

After pondering for a while, Kikyo nodded slightly.

But before she took two steps, she suddenly stopped, frowning slightly and looking in a certain direction.Gu Mo didn't feel anything at first, but the possessed Nine Tails also had an early warning, and following the direction that Kikyo was looking, his mental power also spread out, and he soon noticed the source of the hostility.

"It may be attracted by the breath of the jade of the four souls, but with such a small number, monsters in this era should be very rare..."

Gu Mo didn't take the red dot that appeared on the mini-map to heart, but just analyzed it casually.

What appeared was just some miscellaneous fish, and the order of magnitude couldn't go up. Now he didn't have to worry about these threats at all.

"Let's get rid of them first..."

Kikyo spoke calmly. Although the demonic aura that appeared was very weak, there were too many ordinary people around. Once a battle broke out, she was afraid that innocent people would be affected, so she advocated to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the monsters that committed crimes first.

"I don't think there is any need to worry. The monsters of this era must have their own way of survival. Since people have already regarded them as legends, it means that they have not appeared for a long time. It is so blatant to launch attacks in public places." This kind of thing is not going to happen..."

Gu Mo's attitude seemed a little noncommittal.

Except for the man-eating mask that was formed in the Warring States period but only awakened in the modern world, and who didn't understand the rules of this era at all, and attacked people without any scruples, there are basically no other similar examples. ... This situation can explain a lot of problems.

After all, human beings have been making progress all the time, and modern thermal weapons are not vegetarian. Except for those big monsters that have still stood at the top of the food chain since ancient times, most of the demons and monsters cannot stop the modern firepower... Monsters are not without Brains, they naturally have their own way of survival.

"We have the jade of the four souls..." the witch said lightly.

Perhaps the monsters of this era do have their own way, but she doesn't intend to take risks, and the two of them are carrying the jade of the four souls, maybe because of this thing, those monsters will go crazy. Who can be sure that they will abide by the original set of rules?
"OK, OK, then come back and look again, anyway, it won't take too long to clean up..."

Gu Mo nodded kindly, and while speaking, he was already standing by the side of the road, reaching out to hail a taxi.

"It shouldn't be too late, let's start now." Reaching out to open the car door on one side, Gu Mo smiled and made a gesture of invitation, very gentlemanly letting her get in the car first.

"..."

"..."

The witch was slightly silent, her eyes lingered back and forth between the novelty of the taxi and this person, she was hesitating and thinking about something, and she didn't move for a long time.

"Or, Kikyo, are you going to walk?"

Gu Mo showed a helpless expression: "This metropolitan area is huge, and I'm not too familiar with it. I don't know where I can find a suitable place to do it..."

This is Tokyo, not Fuyuki. As one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, it is not comparable to the latter's small coastal towns in remote places. conditions of the Holy Grail War".

Kikyo was finally persuaded by him, and some unfamiliar people got into the taxi, and Gu Mo walked around to the other side to get in the car and closed the door.

"Where are you two going?"

The master driver asked in front, glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror, sighed in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at the weapons of the two... The witch was carrying a bow behind her back, and there was a simple and simple handle on the waist of the young man. The straight knife suddenly made a murmur in my heart.

But it should be that, what cos, etc. Since the animation industry successfully held a large number of animation exhibitions and game exhibitions in the past few years, and used such tricks to attract popularity, the costume culture seems to have suddenly become It's hot.

"This... Is there any place that is so remote that no one will go there?" Gu Mo replied, "Just send us there."

very remote...

no one will go...

Then what are you planning to do when you go to that kind of place...

The taxi driver was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously glanced at the quiet Miko through the rearview mirror. While being amazed again, he also felt heartbroken, wishing to stamp his chest...Damn it!hateful!It's really hateful, can this damn guy explode!

Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the driver took several deep breaths, trying to calm down his voice: "Please, please fasten your seat belts...Two, two people."

"OK……"

Gu Mo glanced at the driver in the driver's seat in front of him strangely. Why did his speech suddenly become somewhat obvious, as if he was trying to suppress something?

But he didn't care, he just turned his head to look in the direction of Kikyo, and said with a smile, "Put on your seat belt...do you want help?"

"Ah."

Although he was a bit puzzled, he glanced at the driver in the front seat, Kikyo, who was still too unfamiliar with vehicles, still nodded.
