I loaded the ghost talk game

Shashengzhu walked to the center of Songshan Ancient City.

Here, there is a huge sphere floating silently in a thick miasma of light.

The surface of the ball is rugged and full of large and small potholes. But the visual experience given by the giant ball is as smooth as jade, exuding a shimmer.

This is the "Great Moon".

A sacred object that allows the raccoon and fox tribes to communicate with each other in the Moon Palace.

"My arrangement in Iyo is clever enough to make it difficult to detect. I am still confident at this point. But if the people of Takamagahara completely take over Iyo... how long will it take for them to notice it?"

Shashengzhu stared at the bright moon for a long time, and seemed to have finally made up his mind.

It can't be delayed any longer.

You only have one chance, and it's only now.

If the people in Takamagahara start to control Iyo, everything in Matsuyama City will be out of his control sooner or later.

"After all, there is no conflict between what Mr. Kamiya and I want, right?"

The Killing Pillar never does anything that has absolutely no chance of winning.

In his opinion, even in the current situation, it is still possible for his plan to be implemented.

This fox demon is very smart and good at reading people's hearts.

Through the contact with the Kamiya River in the Imperial Raccoon Palace, he could see more than the Eight Hundred and Eight Hundred Raccoons——

That Kamiya-sama offered to help Iyo build it.

What is his purpose?

Is it pure kindness, purely to compensate for the fault of Heitaro Inaori?

No, not possible.

There must be something that Lord Kamiya wants in Iyo.

Thinking about it this way, all Gao Tianyuan wanted was the resources here in Iyo.

The Iyo area, especially Matsuyama, is rich in untapped material resources.

The Killing Pillar is very clear about this.

He wanted those things too, if he could.

It's just that the Fox clan controlled by him does not have the strong capital and technical capabilities of Gao Tianyuan's forces.

It is definitely not as good as Takamagahara in terms of resource development.

Therefore, if Kamiya-sama wants Iyo’s resources, then give them to him.

The Sesshōbashira was happy to offer the entire piece of Iyo with both hands.

As for what he wants——

All he wants is the lives of all the fox and tanuki tribes in Iyo's realm.

"The miasma power contained in the Killing Stone is hidden in the gift furniture for the marriage proposal, and has been delivered to all the heads of the Tanuki clan. Thanks to the assistance of that idiot Dangoro Tanuki, this step can go so smoothly."

"Although it's still a bit rushed, my ceremony can indeed move forward."

"Using the bright moon to guide the 'killing' power of the killing stone, I can only influence and kill the civet cats and foxes who have the habit of 'moon worship'."

Shashengzhu had prepared the ceremony to be promoted to "Kong Fox" for so long, and a large amount of souls had to be consumed as the price.

It is different from the "flesh, spirit and bone" method of becoming a god that Kamiyagawa is familiar with, but it is generally a more evil "change"——

It is to use the assistance of the two treasures of the Great Moon and the Killing Stone to gather a large number of "spirits" in a short period of time, and forcibly promote the Killing Pillar from "Sky Fox" to "Sky Fox".

In the past, Tamamo Mae approached Emperor Toba and planned to take this path to becoming a god.

But what Tamamo Mae wanted to do was start a war in order to gain more human souls.

It's a pity that the plan was finally discovered by Abe Yasuchika, and the success failed.

The best souls that can help the "Sky Fox" break through are naturally the fox demons themselves. In addition, raccoon demons who are very similar to fox demons are also very suitable. The foxes that are quite spiritual, can change innately, and are intelligent are the best sacrifices, and their compatibility with the killing pillar is also very good.

In Iyo, the fact that the souls of raccoons and foxes can condense into an Aragami like Ninido speaks volumes in itself.

As long as Iyo's life is enough for the killing pillar.

Of course, the civet cat with the strongest spiritual power, the eight hundred and eight raccoon dog, must be sacrificed.

And the killing pillar will step on the corpses of these same kind, ascend to the sky fox, become a god, in order to complete the achievement that even Tamamo Mae has not achieved.

So, if you think about it carefully, does this plan conflict with what Kamiyagawa is trying to achieve?

Shashengzhu thinks otherwise.

Does Kamiya-sama care about the life and death of the local foxes in Iyo?

maybe.

But I definitely don't care very much.

Especially now, when Iyo's territory has not yet been controlled by Takamagahara's forces, those foxes are still just outsiders to Takamamahara.

"Kill the raccoon fox here and become a fox in the sky. Then, I will swear allegiance to Lord Kamiya."

Shasheng Zhu made up his mind.

If the ceremony continues, the work will be done by then.

The entire area of ​​Iyo still belongs to Takamagahara, and will even be completely controlled and utilized by Takamagahara sooner.

As for Sesshōbashira himself, he will plead guilty to Kamiyagawa and bow his head.

In this way, only Iyo's raccoon demon and fox demon will be sacrificed.

Use the lives of these low-level monsters, which are not yet closely related to Gao Tianyuan, in exchange for the allegiance of a real god.

Even for Lord Kamiya, this is a very good deal, isn't it?

A win-win situation.

Killing Pillar has always been smart and cunning, and he has already gained a lot of insights.

You know, even the Lord of Takamagahara himself is not a god.

They'll need a Sky Fox god to join them.

What reason is there to refuse?

Even if he had decided to join Takamagahara, Sesshōbashira did not want to join as an Aragami. It's just an Aragami. To that Lord Kamiya, he is not worth mentioning, not worthy of a high look.

He wants a higher status, more power.

Even if he is a dog for Gao Tianyuan, he must be the most majestic one.

So, it's good to join as a god.

This fox's ambition has never been small.

"Then, let's get started."

…

"Abba, Abba! Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

The Kamiya River was speeding through the mountains and forests, and had no time to pay attention to the mad and suffering raccoon and fox tribes it saw along the way.

The little old man's body grabbed his master's shoulders, and most of his body was in the air, but he still did not forget to report the intelligence of his subordinates everywhere to his master.

Now, Crab Princess has arrived at Iyo on the Kisaragi train with the Samurai Crab and the Oni soldiers.

The Golden Bear delivered good news.

After the civet cat princess Fuki arrived at Ciji Hospital, her condition improved under the emergency treatment of the Foot Seller.

This shows that after leaving Iyo, the foxes can indeed escape the influence of the giant moon in the sky to a certain extent.

"Very good. Let others assist Crab Princess and send Iyo's foxes as far as possible to Inuning Valley. By the way, gather them all into Inuning Valley Village, which has no corresponding area in reality, and then notify Usamaru and Devil's mother band We need some people to temporarily guard the Inunming Tunnel to scare the foxes and prevent those foxes from going crazy and coming to the world."

Kamiya calmly gave orders and further dispatched manpower.

Since the ghost mother "voluntarily" provided a large part of her divinity to Prajna to build a shrine, she has been placed in the Santu River and accepted the careful care of Takamagahara.

Now the situation has improved.

Although his strength has deteriorated a lot compared to before, he can only be regarded as a weaker Aragami now.

But after all, he is an employee who can already participate in work and has been well trained.

Cooperating with other staff, it will not be a problem to initially arrange some simple tasks for her.

Kamiyagawa is good at exorcising monsters. Under his leadership, everyone can work hard and shine in the right positions.

At this time, the Iyo area was still full of double moons.

The huge, oppressive moon hung in the sky. But the normal moon showed a strange sense of fragmentation, like a companion star, hanging feebly next to the giant moon.

Bathed in the moonlight as pale as a razor blade, speeding through the purple miasma that filled the air.

Kamiyagawa didn't feel even the slightest bit strange.

Even the little old man is in the same state as usual.

Now it is certain that neither the moon nor the miasma of light seems to have any actual influence on ghost stories other than raccoons and foxes.

"Only for tanukis and foxes. If what is going on here is really related to Kitsune Jukuro, then what he is doing is a bit like a sacrifice."

Kamiyagawa made this judgment.

But even if it’s just for raccoons, it’s not enough, this is the labor force that I’m interested in!

Good boy, although you didn't directly attack Gao Tianyuan, if you dare to interfere with my industrialization process, you will not get a good harvest!

Because he already had the physique of an Aragami, he rushed to Kamiya at an extremely fast speed. When he approached the ruins under the guidance of the scouts, his face remained calm and he was not out of breath.

The situation here in the ruined ancient city is already different from when the little old man first started keeping tabs on it.

The powerful and chaotic power aura mixes and turbulences here.

Ordinary ghost stories can't even enter the ancient city, even if they are close to the surrounding areas.

Because the outline of the target can already be seen, and the source of chaotic power can be clearly felt from the depths of the ancient city.

Kamiyachuan asked the little old man to retreat first.

He himself was not afraid of anything.

Anyway, all the shrines in Iyo have been erected. If you rush towards the source, you will definitely find Kitsune Jukuro.

Stepping into the ruins of the ancient city, Kamiya felt a familiar aura as soon as he went some distance deeper.

It was an aura similar to that of the Live Fish Hotel, mixed in with the riot of energy in the ancient city.

"The Living Fish Hotel, or the power of the Demon King's Mallet? There is also an unexpected bonus. This place may be able to complete the Demon King's Mallet."

With this thought, Kamiyakawa continued to go deeper.

The surrounding purple luminous miasma gradually became thicker, and the surrounding space began to become messy and unpredictable. The vague-shaped buildings are constantly moving, looming, and shuttle between each other.

But this kind of venue can't trap Kamiya. Instead, it's as friendly as returning to the Live Fish Hotel.

Like a fish in water.

With constant leaps and bounds, Kamiya soon arrived at the center of the ruined ancient city.

Here, deep in the thick miasma of light, he saw a very strange scene——

A pale stone ball that looks like a mini version of the moon, with pits and pits and a bright luster. At this time, it was floating quietly in the air, motionless, but it seemed to be echoing the giant moon that appeared in the sky.

Surrounding the mini moon is a strange "meteorite circle".

Large and small red stones, with a rough surface full of pores, are attracted by the "moon" and float around it, forming a red ring.

From the pores of those red gravels, purple light mist is constantly spitting out.

The miasma that pervades most areas of Iyo is probably caused by these things.

After observing the strange stone structure that looked like a celestial body, Kamiya Kawa felt something, raised his hand and pressed the handle of the knife of Doujiqi, and his pupils condensed, and moved his eyes away.

"Come out."

As his voice fell, a figure appeared in the thick fog.

"Master Kamiya, you came much faster than I thought."

A fox demon.

Wearing the same white robe as Fox Shiliulang, his face was painted with gorgeous colors, making it difficult to distinguish his true appearance. The ears and tail of the beast were not white, but bright red. Compared with Fox Shiliulang, this fox demon gave people a more feminine and more weird feeling.

"Fox Shiliulang? Or should I call you another name?"

The moment he saw this fox demon, Kamiya Kawa understood what might be going on.

He was really fooled.

The "Fox Shiliulang" he saw before did not seem to be the real Fox Shiliulang.

Just like the "Fukuji" seen in the Tanuki Palace was not the real Fukuji.

Kamiya himself said that if he had not known that "Fukuji" had been replaced, even he would not have noticed the "Civet Cat Substituted for a Princess" drama.

After all, Ahei, who replaced Fukuji, was also a female raccoon.

The same applies to Kitsune Shiro.

"Killing Pillar, my name is Killing Pillar."

Killing Pillar replied.

The light mist sprayed by the surrounding Killing Stones, together with the moonlight of the huge moon in the sky, washed and reshaped his body. His limbs and bones were being reborn and reborn, making it difficult for him to maintain his changing appearance, and there was no need to maintain it.

"Let me think, if that huge ball that looks like the moon is the Big Bright Moon, then those red gravels, could they be the Killing Stone?"

"Haha, Lord Kamiya is very good at predicting things. That's right, the Killing Stone, I was born from it."

"You answer everything you know, that's a very good attitude." Kamiya Chuan looked up and down at the fox demon opposite him, his tone was playful, but his right hand was still pressing the handle of the knife cut by the boy on his waist, "Then just answer me directly. Killing Pillar, what are you doing? No, what are you doing?"

"I was promoted to a hollow fox, in order to obtain the same power as the two gods under you, in order to better serve you."

Kamiya Chuan was a little surprised to hear this, and the calculation of the Killing Pillar seemed to be in a place that he had not expected before.

So, he continued to ask: "By killing the foxes and raccoons in Iyo?"

"Yes. They are just some low-level monsters. Even the raccoons are just stupid wild gods. Lord Kamiya, after the matter here is over, Iyo will be completely controlled by you, and you will get the loyalty of a new god. Isn't that good?"

The Killing Pillar leaned down to Kamiya River, and his tone was quite sincere.

Even if you can see through his emotions, it seems to prove that what he said at this moment is not against his heart.

He is serious.

"Hehe." Kamiya River did not seem to be obviously angry, but laughed, "Are you negotiating with me?"

It's really interesting.

The Killing Pillar wants to join Takamagahara as a god.

Very smart, this fox.

Too smart.

I guess he has roughly guessed the general situation of Takamagahara.

And the bargaining chips he offered are really tempting, not only will the Iyo territory be brought under the control of Takamagahara faster. As for the fox and raccoon tribes as labor, compared with a brand new god, it seems that it is obvious at a glance.

"I dare not." The Killing Pillar still bowed his head.

"I think you are very brave. You have already done it."

"Please give me a chance to make up for my crime in the future, Lord Kamiya. I will not let you down. If you are worried about me, I beg Lord Kamiya to restrain and control me. No matter what form it takes, I am happy to accept it."

The Killing Pillar heard the slight resentment in Kamiya River's tone.

But this is still expected.

Lord Kamiya will definitely have opinions on his actions.

But this does not prevent him from accepting it.

In order to increase Kamiya's trust in him, the Killing Pillar even voluntarily accepts any form of control.

In his opinion, the Lord of Takamagahara is not a god, but he can drive gods freely, so he must have mastered the method of effectively controlling gods.

The Killing Pillar is too good at figuring out people's hearts.

He knows that Lord Kamiya is a smart man, and smart people put interests first.

He knew that everything that Lord Kamiya did was for the benefit of Takamagahara.

And now the facts are here.

His actions are absolutely in line with the best interests of Takamagahara.

Next, as long as he becomes a fox and a god, he can further demonstrate his value.

Kamiya Kawa has no reason to refuse such a proposal.

Let's see.

He seems to be thinking and weighing now.

It means that he is moved.

Then, after a brief thought, Kamiya spoke again: "Session Pillar, let's put aside what you are doing now, I suddenly thought of a few questions."

"... You say."

The Session Pillar suddenly realized that the current atmosphere was not right.

The direction of the conversation did not seem to develop completely according to his expectations.

If we don't talk about the current situation, what should we talk about?

But it shouldn't be.

There is nothing wrong with my proposal, and he has no reason to refuse.

"You were born from the Killing Stone, and your magic is very sophisticated. That is, you were born from the remains of Tamamonomae, which means that you did not originally belong to the fox tribe of Shikoku. At first, I was still wondering why the Lord of Songshan City, as a human, was so eager for the Great Moon... So, the Lord of Songshan City who once attacked the raccoon tribe was actually you, right?"

When Kamiya Kawa asked this question, the answer was only "yes" and "no".

Even if the Killing Pillar lied or kept silent.

But through his emotional changes, Kamiya could directly know the truth of this simple question.

"...Yes."

The Killing Pillar suddenly raised his head, but only met Kamiya Kawa's deep and playful eyes.

No, that's not right.

What is Kamiya Kawa thinking?

He should be an ambitious hero!

Those trivial and harmless things should be...

"Then I know."

Clang.

Kamiyakawa used his thumb to push open the hilt of Doujiki's sword, and the blade was unsheathed a little, with a clear sound, like spring water hitting rock.

The gorgeous feather weave was embedded in the night, and the complex golden patterns rolled in the wind, reflecting the faint light.

The golden blade was completely unsheathed, raised high, lightly drew a brilliant arc of light in the mist, and then bit and crushed the pale moonlight cast from above.

Kamiyakawa spoke again, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at the killing pillar, word by word.

The playfulness in his eyes had been replaced by a stern murderous intent, and this time the tone did not sound like a simple question -

"You killed Inao, right?" (End of this chapter)
