Tokyo Ghost Diary

The man in black...or rather, Tomimoto Shinsuke's intention to retreat seemed to dissipate as his identity was exposed. His eyes looking at Asaha Shinichi were extremely calm, as if standing in front of him was not his former disciple, but a Like strangers standing on opposite sides.

But his tone was completely opposite to his indifferent expression. Tomimoto Shinsuke said in a melancholy and helpless voice: "Nobuichi, leave. You should know that you are not my opponent now."

"..." Asaha Shinichi still had that smiling face: "We haven't seen each other so long, we can be regarded as masters and apprentices, right? Even if you don't ask me to sing and massage one-stop service, you should still say a few words and chat, right? You have to rush now. Wouldn’t it be too unkind for me to leave?”

Fuyuan Jinsuke sighed softly: "The people in the room have nothing to do with you, right? They are your friends. They seem to need you more."

Qian Yuxin glanced at the battlefield of the Skeleton Orochi. It was a bit far away. Regardless of the huge Orochi, he could not see clearly the figures who were resisting the Orochi. But overall, the battle situation did not seem very optimistic.

Orochi's arrogance is even more ferocious than when it first came out, and in Asaba Shinichi's perception, the energy fluctuations of Hoshino and Takasugi are drastically declining...

But that's all. After a glance, Asaha Shinichi regained his gaze and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not a stubborn idea. If I can't hold on any longer, they will slip away. What's important now is you. ,teacher."

He held the knife slightly harder, and at the same time took a leisurely step closer: "I'm really curious, why did you disappear? Where did you go after so many years of disappearance? And where did the pollution on your body go? ?”

"Finally...what is your, or your, purpose?"

"Teaching students and solving doubts is the basic obligation of a teacher." Qian Yuxin smiled and arched his eyebrows: "So, can you answer these questions for me, teacher?"

Fuyuan Jinsuke did not answer. His tone remained unchanged and he sighed: "Do you really want to stop me?"

Asaha Shinichi also sighed: "Are you really not going to answer?"

The air was silent for a moment, except for the roar and roar of the big snake on the battlefield in the distance. Then, the sound of gold and iron clashing with an extremely exciting rhythm suddenly filled the space. The third round of this master-disciple duel finally began.

......

"How much longer!?"

Onikiri had already retracted, and Hoshino Gen's right arm was hanging somewhat drooping at his side. While he was avoiding another attack from the Orochi skull, he asked loudly to Takasugi Yusuke, who was already a little bruised.

Takasugi Yusuke flew backwards, his hands folded together like claws, and then he swung them out to both sides as if he wanted to tear apart the space. Two crossed claw-mark-like wind blades hit the head of the incoming big snake, and he gasped for breath. He replied: "One hour!"

Before he finished speaking, a head that appeared beside him at some point opened its huge mouth and burst out a breath of dark purple energy.

——The ground front had completely collapsed half an hour ago. Except for the witches who were still holding on, using the remaining golden locks to bind a head, the others were dead and could not escape.

The current situation can almost be said to be Gen Hoshino and Yusuke Takasugi, fighting against the entire skeletal Yamata no Orochi!

An already dim illusory tail stretched out from behind Gen Hoshino, seemingly trying to pull Yusuke Takasugi out of the range of the breath. But at this moment, both Yusuke Takasugi himself and Gen Hoshino, who was always under greater pressure, had already Symptoms of exhaustion began to appear.

Hoshino Gen didn't strike fast enough, and Takasugi Yusuke didn't dodge in time enough.

As a result, the purple energy pillar engulfed Takasugi Yusuke. In just a blink of an eye, Hoshino Gen saw three phantoms flying out from Takasugi Yusuke's body. After each screaming, they disappeared like smoke, and Takasugi Yusuke himself disappeared. In order to escape the force of gravity, the body fell straight to the ground.

Gen Hoshino turned around and wanted to fish it out to prevent the guy from being thrown to death without the protection of a shikigami, but before he could fly out, a fierce blow hit him from behind.

A head hit him hard on the back, and in an instant, his body hit the ground at a speed more than twice as fast as Takasugi Yusuke.

When the dust was flying, Hoshino Gen made a dent in the ground. He couldn't help coughing out blood, and then as the white light on his body flashed, a stream of light floated out and turned into Tamamo Mae next to him. The appearance of a little girl.

At this moment, Tamamo's silver hair was messy, and his body was covered in scars. Those wounds... almost all were at the locations where Hoshino Gen was attacked when he was in the sky.

The little girl pursed her mouth and cried to Hoshino Yuan: "A Yuan, I feel so much pain..."

As Tamamo no mae left the body, the power Hoshino Gen could use was instantly reduced by more than half. However, in contrast, the injuries he had suffered before were all taken away by the little girl. In addition to being a little exhausted and weak, he was completely exhausted. There is no other abnormality at all.

He gasped violently and sat up, holding one hand on the ground, and raised the other hand to put it on the little girl's head and rubbed it gently: "That's enough, you have done enough, go back, go to Qianyu's place, I can feel it , he is in the shrine behind, ask him to take you away."

"What about A Yuan?" the little girl asked sobbing, wondering if she was crying in pain.

"I owe someone else something." Hoshino Gen said softly. He moved his eyes away from the big skeletal snake standing between heaven and earth, and nothing could block its path. He turned to look at the people beside him with a smile on his face. Tamamo Mae: "I have to pay it back here."

Tamamo asked with tears in her eyes: "A Yuan, don't you want me anymore?"

Hoshino Gen paused slightly and said with a smile: "I have never regarded you as my own, so why not..."

He forced his tired body to stand up: "It's just that it's really inconvenient for you to stay with me next time."

His left eye glowed like ruby: "It will be hurt."

Tamamo Mae seemed to feel something, her small body trembled slightly, and she said cautiously: "A Yuan, you will come back, right?"

"I'll try my best." The voice coming from Hoshino Yuan's mouth seemed to be two different voices superimposed together.

It's not that one of the residents in his eyes wants to take over the body, it's simply the result of Hoshino Gen liberating the part of the power used to suppress pollution and allowing the pollution to surge through the body.

This is the last part of the power that he can use on his own initiative. When this part of power is exhausted, he will face a situation where pollution fills his body. At that time, his results will only be two, one, and others who have been completely eroded by pollution. Like special people, they lose themselves and fall into madness.

Second, Bai Tong takes over his body, and whether he returns it or not depends entirely on her wish.

Hoshino Gen's current move is not a bet that when the second outcome occurs, Bai Tong will be kind and return his body.

It's just that, as he said, he felt that he owed Sasaki Shinichiro a life, so in order to complete Sasaki Shinichiro's commission, repaying a life was the right thing to do.

Anyway, putting aside the survival instinct of living things, in his own rational and emotional thinking, he actually... doesn't particularly care about life and death.
