When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

"Tap, tap, tap..." The sound of sudden footsteps echoed in the dark corridor.

Since the style of the Nagano family's main residence is retro, it is inevitable that the wooden floor of the corridor will make noises when you step on it.

Kitahara Akira walked along the corridor and headed deeper into the house according to the route Nagano Hirokazu told him.

He planned to go directly to the head of the Nagano family, his nominal grandfather whom he had never met, because only he could cancel the marriage.

Although Nagano Nanyun is in charge of all matters of the Nagano family, my grandfather is still the head of the family after all, so he still has some say.

As for how to convince the other party, Kitahara Xiao has already thought about it.

No one can stop him, except...

"Oh, you are going after all." Nagano Tsubasa walked out from the corner of the corridor and blocked Kitahara Akatsuki's way.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear...

Kitahara Xiao stopped and looked at the other person

"Is something wrong?"

Nagano Tsubasa smiled and said nothing.

"Swoosh!" A light blue talisman paper quickly flew towards Beiyuan Xiao.

Looking at the talisman paper rushing towards him, Kitahara Xiao's mind moved, and a ghost soldier emerged from the ground and grabbed the talisman paper with one hand.

"Is that so?" Nagano Tsubasa muttered to himself, "There is no spiritual energy at all."

"It has nothing to do with you." Kitahara Xiao said in a cold tone.

Suddenly, pairs of blood-red eyes filled the ceiling, floor, and corners.

"Is this your Shikigami?" Nagano Tsubasa felt the gazes and malice coming from all directions, and said carefully, "It's quite interesting."

"Get out of here, or I don't mind fighting you first!" The mark of the curse gradually climbed up Kitahara Xiao's face, and his temper began to flare up.

If he hadn't been concerned about the fact that there were too many ordinary people in the manor, he would have started a fight with Nagano Tsubasa.

"Well, calm down!" Nagano Tsubasa raised his hands in front of him in a gesture of surrender.

"My grandfather's health is failing. It would be useless even if you go. How about making a deal with me?"

Kitahara Akira frowned and stared at Nagano Tsubasa for a while.

"Say"

"To be honest," Nagano Tsubasa scratched his head, "I have no interest in your lover named Yukinoshita. This is just my father's petty revenge and he acted on his own initiative."

"I can go and persuade my father to give up this marriage."

He said nonchalantly, "If it doesn't work, I can assure you that her virginity belongs to you, and you can let her be your lover after marriage, as long as you don't get caught."

Kitahara Akira narrowed his eyes

"Are you so kind?"

Although the two have only known each other for a short time, Kitahara Akira believes that Nagano Tsubasa is unlikely to be the kind of nice guy.

"To tell you the truth," Nagano Tsubasa smiled, "Although my father has the talent of Onmyoji, it is too inferior. He can't even perfectly control the foreign Onmyoji we trained."

"So my father controlled my grandfather, wanting to transfer his spiritual power into himself to improve his talent."

"At that time, we just need to announce to the public that our grandfather has passed away due to illness, and he can become the head of the family ahead of time."

Nagano Tsubasa said calmly, as if it was no big deal.

Kitahara Xiao understood. Wow, this family is really cruel. Fortunately, he is not from the Nagano family.

"But...my father is just a mediocre man who was blinded by power and authority."

“I want to replace it”

"You will become the master of the family sooner or later, there is no need to use this method"

Kitahara Xiao frowned. He attacked his own biological father. What a loving father and filial son.

Nagano Tsubasa shook his head. "The family has been corrupted for too long, and the government has coveted Yin-Yang magic for too long."

"Once my grandfather died, the family would lose its backbone. My father couldn't bear this responsibility. Nagano Kitatake was only lip-service to the family. He had wanted to leave long ago."

"Only me! My talent is the highest in modern times! Only I can lead the family to revival!"

"But this presents a problem. I am too young." Nagano Tsubasa sighed. "The foreign Onmyojis in the family will definitely not obey my orders completely. They will definitely call for Nagano Kitatake to inherit the position of the head of the family."

"Although Nagano Kitatake has no offspring, I will inherit after his death, but that will take too long and I can't wait."

"So," Kitahara Xiao already understood the other party's purpose, "you want to win me over?"

"That's right," Nagano Tsubasa snapped his fingers.

"I need someone strong enough to help me balance Nagano Kitatake, and you happened to show up."

"Besides, you are from a side branch, so I don't have to worry about you threatening my position."

"Haha, are you so confident that you can defeat me?" Kitahara Akatsuki asked in an unpredictable tone.

This guy is really not afraid of letting a wolf into the house

"Don't get me wrong, we are just cooperating." Nagano Tsubasa waved his hand. "After a few years of smooth transition, I won't ask anything else of you. I don't care whether you stay in the family or leave."

Kitahara Akira is silent

If the situation is really as the other party said, this method seems to be the best solution at present.

Nagano Tsubasa turned and left. "Think about it carefully. I won't wait too long."

He knew that Kitahara Xiao was already somewhat tempted, and now he should let him think about it carefully.

................................................

A basement room somewhere in the Nagano family's main residence

There are all kinds of strange objects in the dim room.

The most eye-catching thing is the dozens of earthy brown jars placed in a huge cabinet.

The things inside are all the companion shikigami of the Nagano family.

Although not very strong, it is still a good choice for a novice Onmyoji as the first Shikigami.

Unfortunately, the Nagano family died out, so their ancestors had to seal them up, and they have not been opened for hundreds of years since they were passed down to this generation.

"Huh!" Nagano Tsubasa stepped into the room and casually picked up a ball of fire to light the torch on the wall.

The burning candlelight illuminates the wrinkled face of Nagano Nanyun

"Where have you been?" Nagano Nanyun asked expressionlessly.

"I just went out to get some fresh air," Nagano Tsubasa said calmly. "Father, how is the plan going?"

"Hmph..." Nagano Nanyun stared at him for a while, then turned around and looked at the altar. "Almost done."

On the altar, the head of the Nagano family, the 100-year-old Nagano Chizu, was sitting weakly in the center, surrounded by many runes, tightly imprisoning him.

Nagano Chizu raised his shrunken head and looked at Nagano Nanyun

He opened his mouth, but all that came out was some weak noises.

Nagano Nanyun looked expressionlessly into Nagano Chizu's lifeless eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he was not as good as Nagano Kitatake in any way, he would be insulted and beaten by this so-called father. He had had enough.

He made a seal with his hands

"start"

The runes around the altar glowed red instantly, and chains of spiritual power suddenly wrapped around Nagano Chizu's body.

They are rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy from Nagano Chizu's body and infusing it into Nagano Nanyun's body.

Nagano Tsubasa quietly retreated behind Nagano Nanyun and quietly mobilized the spiritual power in his body, ready to attack at any time.

He had known about this taboo ritual beforehand. After successfully absorbing it, the user would have a short period of weakness. That was his best chance.

Nagano Nanyun felt the spiritual power filling his body, and his expression gradually became crazy.

"Hahaha!" He yelled at Nagano Chizu on the altar, "Did you see that? Damn old man! No matter how strong you are, what does it matter?! I am the real winner!"

Hearing Nagano Nanyun's arrogant words, Nagano Chizu smiled.

"Zizi!" The surrounding runes flickered, and the color quickly turned emerald green.

"Gah!" Nagano Nanyun, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly looked ferocious.

"No... Impossible!" He could feel his spiritual power and vitality disappearing rapidly.

"Father?!" Nagano Tsubasa frowned. He didn't know what was going on.

"This……"

Before Nagano Nanyun finished speaking, the ceremony suddenly broke apart, and powerful spiritual energy spread out, stirring up dust all over the ground and floating in the air.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Nagano Tsubasa coughed and dispersed the flying ashes.

After seeing the situation clearly, his pupils shrank rapidly.

A young man who had never been seen before was standing in the middle of the altar.

"I haven't experienced a body like this for a long time. It's great to be young." The man twisted his neck and then looked at Nagano Tsubasa.

"You said so, Yi?"
