Mask: Begins with training with Hibiki

"Okay, go to bed early. Although you don't have classes recently, it's good for your health to go to bed early and get up early. Training should be a combination of work and rest."

"I understand, Brother Jiang Chen, good night."

"Good night".

The door was closed, Jiang Chen smiled and walked downstairs. It was getting dark, and he had to return the car.

When he opened the door of Tachibana, the first person he saw was Kosumi sitting on a chair reading a book. Jiang Chen waved his hand and greeted her.

"Sister Xiangxu Shi, where are Master Xianggui and the others?"

Xiang Xushi came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Chen. After seeing who it was, he smiled and said, "It's Jiang Chen. They are downstairs and seem to be choosing a trial venue for you."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Why is sister Kasumi here? Shouldn't sister Hinaka be guarding the store?"

Xiangxu smiled and explained:

"You are wrong. Although I go on missions more often, our intelligence work is basically done by Hinaka. Although she is unreliable sometimes, you can completely trust her."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement. He was superficial. After traveling through time, he had been working with Xianggui and had never retrieved any intelligence information on his own. He had even forgotten that Hinajia was also a member of the protagonist group and was specifically responsible for intelligence.

After Xiang Xushi finished speaking, he continued reading. Jiang Chen touched his nose and said nothing more. He turned around and went down to the basement.

In the basement, Xiang Gui and others saw Jiang Chen coming back and hurriedly called out: "Jiang Chen, come here quickly. There is nothing wrong in our area recently. There happens to be a mountain tiger in the area of ​​Dan Gui next door. I will take you there for the trial."

Jiang Chen asked in surprise: "Is it so urgent? We just came down from the mountain. I thought we needed to rest for a while."

Rinajia curled her lips and said: "This is because I just happened to encounter it. Do you think there are demonized monster incidents every day? Just because there happens to be one, we can start the trial."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more and just nodded in agreement.

Xianggui looked at the map in front of him with golden eyes:

"Yoshi, it's decided then. Let's set off tomorrow. Logically speaking, you have already dealt with Tsuchigumo and Yamabiko on your own, but luck also plays a role."

"Let's see if you can perfectly defeat the demonized monster this time without my support."

Jiang Chen patted his chest confidently and said: "Don't worry about this. After all, you all said that I am a genius."

"Yes, yes. You are a genius, but don't be proud." Tachibana Sejiro also echoed.

"Hahaha".

"...".

"Uncle, let's set off now."

"Come back safely, Jiang Chen. I hope you pass the test and become a real 'ghost'. I have high hopes for you."

"Haha, uncle, don't worry, I can definitely pass it. I'm a genius."

......

"Jiang Chen, you must not be reckless this time, and you must not underestimate the enemy. The last time you dealt with Shan Yan, a lot of luck played a role. Shan Yan is not weak, so you must be careful."

"I understand, Master Xianggui, you know my personality, it's a pity that I died."

"Yes, yes, it's a pity for his life. A person who doesn't even know how to use sound strikes dares to launch a sneak attack on the demonized monster."

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He didn't expect that his previous behavior of earning combat points would be criticized.

Xiang Xushi also joined in, "Xiang is right, Jiang Chen, you must not be impulsive this time. This is your test, and it determines whether you can become a ghost."

Jiang Chen also knew that the two of them were doing this for his own good, so he quickly agreed.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination. The test location was a valley where there was an echo when you spoke. It was a typical place where mountain goby grows.

After Jiang Chen quickly set up the temporary camp, he and Xianggui released the sound shikigami to search the entire valley.

Maybe God was helping Jiang Chen. After the second batch of sound shikigami were sent out, a eagle sound shikigami flew back staggeringly after a while.

Jiang Chen took it and began to read the information. After a while, he shook the sound god in his hand and smiled at Xianggui:

"Master Hibiki, it seems that even God wants me to pass this test. I have found the second Boeing Shikigami."

Xiang Gui also looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, put down the disc in his hand that was still reading the sound god, and said with a smile:

"Don't waste time. In this case, let's try to go back as soon as possible. Maybe we can still make it in time for dinner."

Xiang Xushi also came over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so lucky. Be careful. Assessment is important, but you must come back safely."

After saying that, he picked up the flint in his hand and struck it twice.

Jiang Chen and Xiang Gui smiled, raised their hands synchronously, waved them and said with a smile: "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned and left.

As Xiang Gui's apprentice, Jiang Chen had long wanted to try this gesture, but had never had the chance. This was a good opportunity for the test.

Speeding all the way, Jiang Chen and Xianggui quickly entered the area where the Sound God had just sent the message. Looking at the calmness around him, Xianggui began to murmur in his heart.

Could it be that Shanyan has been transferred? He has been in for a while and hasn't seen anything. Or maybe Jiang Chen is so eager to complete the assessment that he doesn't want to wait any longer and wants to come in and look for him himself.

However, Jiang Chen, the protagonist of the assessment, did not react at all. Instead, he looked around calmly.

After seeing a cliff, he hurried forward and shouted at the cliff: "Shanyan, where are you? Come out, let me see, come and hear the sound."

When Xianggui heard Jiang Chen's shout, his body shook, and then he said helplessly: "How can you find it like this? Although Shanyan is sensitive to sound, he can't hear it if he is far away."

As Xianggui's voice fell, an ethereal voice suddenly came: "Yamayan, where are you? Come out, let me see, come and eat the sound."

Xiang Gui's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at Jiang Chen, who was calm and composed, with an expression of disbelief.

Facing Xiang Gui's gaze, Jiang Chen shrugged and explained:

"Master Hibiki, you said that Yamahiko is sensitive to sound, and the Sound Shikigami has also sent a message here, so it's normal for me to lure him out directly."

After saying that, someone suddenly spoke beside Jiang Chen.

"You want to see my child? You are willing to give it your voice."

"I guess you would be happy to cook food for my child, and he would definitely like it. Even though you are a hateful ghost."

Jiang Chen turned around and saw that it was Tongzi and Ji. The two monsters were staring at them hungrily.

After saying that, Shan Yan's huge body gradually walked towards Jiang Chen and the others. Jiang Chen could feel the ground shaking with every step.

Jiang Chen grinned and said, "Master Xianggui, please stay away. I am about to transform and they are targeting me."

After all, Xianggui had rich combat experience, so he quickly retreated.

Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all. After the ringing ghost retreated, he directly swung out the tuning fork and struck it, then quickly rushed towards the boy and Ji.

"Drink~".

With a loud shout, Jiang Chen rushed in front of Tongzi and Ji the moment he completed his transformation.
