Unlike gods, ghosts and blacks do not have a so-called ethnic group, they only come from one body.So if ghosts commit black crimes, the one who suffers the most punishment is never the shikigami itself but the onmyoji.Because this kind of shikigami is just a trace of the consciousness of the underworld body, it is meaningless to execute them, even if this kind of shikigami is used to refine soul-returning charms, it will be less refined than monsters of the same level!So the so-called punishment for this shikigami is just a trip back to the original body.
What's more, the shikigami from the underworld have no memory when they are summoned, and they are all gradually cultivated by onmyoji until they are awakened.This has led to many ghosts and blacks clearly originating from the same individual, but with very different personalities.
Mistakes made by such shikigami will often implicate the onmyoji and be punished.
After all, other people's emissaries are fine, so why is yours doing the trick?
Sanzhi looked at Gui Shihei angrily, but the other party just blinked at him and shook Tong Gu who was still being strangled by the neck.Gui Shihei is not threatening the Onmyojis with Kiritani, this cunning shikigami is only threatening himself with actions!
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Sanzhi asked, his teeth could not be more tightly clenched, and his voice was completely squeezed out of the cracks.
Gui Shihei thought for a while, then bowed his head sincerely, and made a small gift to Sanzhi.It's just that he is still holding Tong Gu in one hand, which makes this action look very funny: "How about Sanzhi, you and my bond are also released?"
This sentence immediately made Sanzhi so angry that his eyes went dark, and it took a while before he could see things clearly.
On the other hand, the onmyojis began to discuss in a low voice, and the content was nothing more than "What's wrong with this ghost?"
Ming Qi, who was digesting the eggshell and pretending it didn't exist, looked coldly at Gui Shihei who was involved, and was not sure of the other party's intention to jump back suddenly.Moreover, Gui Shihei bought him time to eat eggs, gave him a chance to stand out from the encirclement, and also took the blame for Cheng Hu's crimes.
But what should the ghost make him do?Once he ran away, the ghost who was left alone would be in bad luck.
Thinking of this, Ming Qi quickly digested Bodhidharma, and in a very short time allowed himself to climb to the full six-hook spiritual power.Relying on the high speed of the six hooks, Ming Qi made a sudden move, breaking the strange balance in the room—he resisted the attacks of several other high-speed shikigami, and poked the three branches of the defensive barrier that were automatically released when the time limit expired: "Get rid of him!" Deed!"
Immediately afterwards, Ming Qi regained his composure, grabbed Sanzhi and stood together with Ghost Shihei: "Don't try to kill me, let the witch and gu master turn me into a puppet and find the place where the spell is hidden. You will not be left with the scum of self-explosion."
Ghost Messenger Hei never expected that Ming Qi would admit to his crime at this time, and his previous efforts were in vain with just a few words.
Although it is not bad to use the spell as an excuse, they now have three hostages in their hands.Tong Gu Liaozhu, Sanzhi Liaozhu, and the missing talisman.
The group of onmyojis in front of them didn't know anything about the cause and effect, and this confession really bluffed them.After all, Ming Qi has been demonized before, and it is easy to demonize a demon that has already been demonized.If Ming Qi really blew himself up, wouldn't their talisman never see the light of day?It's nothing more than an empty talisman, many talismans still have shikigami sealed inside!
"If you stop here, I can return the spell." Seeing that the onmyojis were hesitant, Ming Qi hit the snake with a stick and started talking nonsense: "The purpose of stealing the spell is to force Chenghu to release the contract for me, otherwise I will say that he ordered it." What I did made it impossible for him to stay in Yin-Yang Lao. As long as you are willing to let us go, you can naturally get back the previous spells."
Everyone naturally thought of Gu Huo Niao's resistance to demonization when the city household was formed as a contract.Being so unwilling to become a shikigami, it seems reasonable to force the onmyoji to submit in order to escape and steal?It's just how did the ghost make Hei get involved?
Things have come to this, Sanzhi had no choice but to hold back his anger, and agreed to relieve the contract with Oni Shihei: "Oni Shihei, you should think about it, you are different from other shikigami."
Gui Shihei still looked indifferent, nodded and just listened.
"But this time, I have to put a binding spell on Gu Huo Bird." Sanzhi slowly put the release talisman on Gui Shihei's body, but didn't stick it on: "If you let you go this time, but don't put the deed in one day. When the spell is returned, I will definitely use the binding spell to crush Guhuo Bird's demon core."
Ming Qi watched anxiously from the side, waved his wings and pushed Sanzhi's hand towards Gui Shihei: "You really talk a lot."
When Ming Qi walked out of the city house together with Guishi Hei wearing a binding curse, it felt like a lifetime away.
"...too many things to do today."
Gui Shihei slapped him on the top of the head: "Don't be emotional, think about how to start."
The road to the outside of the city seemed surprisingly long today, Ming Qi was quiet for a long time before asking: "Why did you help me?"
Gui Shihei rubbed his face and forced a smile: "Firstly, it was for Kido, someone must help him get rid of the crime. Second, it was for my conscience... I am sure that you didn't do it, but I couldn't convince Sanzhi, or even Sanzhi and the others agreed to take your life, but I thought they would only interrogate you."
If the Onmyojis didn't intend to kill Gu Huo Niao directly, Gui Shihei would definitely not stop him.However, the brutality of the onmyojis has exceeded Gui Shihei's bottom line. He cannot accept that a life has been thrown into the underworld before the truth of a matter itself has been discovered.
In the end, Ghost Messenger Hei yawned and concluded, "I'm a ghost messenger of the underworld, and my job is not to be a pawn for Onmyoji. If the later evidence proves that you did it, I have a way to notify Sanzhi to kill you."
Chapter 10
There are few people in the small woods outside of Kyoto, and Ming Qi's first stop after leaving Chenghu's house is here.
When he was with his aunt, he was used to eating and sleeping in the open air, and now he didn't feel inconvenient to rest in the dense forest. Ghost Hei was in a daze, and he just stared at a pond raised by a stream to catch fish.
If the wings are inconvenient, use the wind blade to catch them. If you don't have hands to flip the grilled fish, you directly light a fire and bury the fish in the ground.Then he squatted beside him holding his face and waiting.
After breaking the contract with Chenghu, without the support of spiritual power, Ming Qi's monster power consumption increased, and even his stomach became hungry faster.What's more, it's the middle of the night, and the last meal of Ming Qi was the few oranges he ate yesterday, so he always feels uncomfortable with an empty stomach.
About three or ten minutes later, the smell of cooked fish began to radiate from the ground. Ming Qi took out the fish with a small wind blade, and deliberately peeled off the surface covered with soil, split the fish in half, and handed it to the ghost. Make one copy black.
"No, thanks." Gui Shihei raised his hand to reject the piece of fish, "I will dissipate soon after the contract is released, so I won't be hungry or need to eat."
Ok……
Ok?
Um! ! ! !
"It's fine that I was stuck with a bondage talisman, did Sanzhi not attack you?" Ming Qi hurriedly stood up, with a wind blade on each side and half a fish hanging on each wind blade, which seemed a bit stupid Immediately laughed at Ghost Messenger.
In fact, it is difficult to observe Gui Shihei's smiling face in the dark, but Ming Qi's night vision ability is very strong. Although the visual effects are different during the day and night, he can still see that Gui Shihei is smiling happily.He was not at all nervous about the situation where he was about to dissipate.
"Still laughing!"
Gui Shihei took a deep breath, and carefully restrained his smile, although he felt that this kind of thing was nothing to worry about: "Did you hear what Sanzhi said when we left? ——We are different from ordinary shikigami."
Ming Qi recalled, there was such a period, so what?Is there a third one like them who forced to release the contract?
"I also said before that the ghost messenger is just a clone of the underworld's main body on the ground." The ghost messenger Hei shook his head, picked up a stone from the ground, chose the sharp end, and carved it on the mud: "If the main body It's the stone, then I, or 'we', are the traces left on the ground."
Speaking of this, Gui Shihei has already scratched the mark, but still opened the stone.Ming Qi took a closer look, and found that these three characters were "ghosts make black".He looked at the words suspiciously and asked: "So what, even if it's just a trace, existence is existence?"
Gui Shihei stretched out his hand again and wiped the ground.The mud floor is soft, and this touch directly makes the handwriting completely blurred: "Then can you still see the existence now? After a little damage, this trace will disappear-this is the relationship between Jifu Shikigami and Onmyoji, relying on the relationship with With the maintenance of the spiritual power of the Onmyoji, our traces will become very strong and difficult to destroy. Most of the other shikigami are individuals, and the formation of the contract is only a short page in their lives, and they rely on the Onmyoji to a considerable extent. Low."
Ming Qi suddenly understood why Yinyangliao chose Guishihei to monitor him.
Even if it wasn't the ghost in front of him, it would be another shikigami.The interdependent relationship between Jifu shikigami and Onmyoji is deep enough that it is difficult for them to betray each other.
The ghost who lost the three-branch contract will soon gradually lose his imprint in this world because he does not have a solid protective layer.
"Actually, Sanzhi and I have a pretty good relationship. He was still young when he was not awakened, and we grew up together. At that time, he was just like Kido now, impulsive and soft-hearted, and always bad. So this solution Qi, he should be furious. But what happened this time is quite weird, and although the evidence is strong, it cannot convince me to convict you right away." Gui Shihei smiled again, and Ming Qi only felt heartbroken when he saw it this time. .
"If I don't find out the truth tomorrow, I'll just use my set of imperial souls. Anyway, Sanzhi didn't ask me to go back. Then go to Sanzhi's place to secretly look for Xinyanhei, and continue to investigate." Ghost Messenger Hei laughed again. Showing his small fangs, "Or the judge can do it. Once everyone has doubts about the result, they will definitely be like me. The underworld is full-time judges, and those three-legged cat onmyojis can't just persuade them."
Ming Qi felt guilty when he heard that, at that time he only felt that Gui Shihei was lying to him, but he didn't understand Gui Shihei's position.He doesn't know whether it's the dependent relationship between Jifu Shikigami and Onmyoji or the relationship between Guishihei and Sanzhi.
"I'm sorry." Ming Qi apologized softly, and lost interest in eating fish, threw the food and shook his feathers, covering his wings with ghosts.He could see that there was no need for consolation, the other party really felt that dissipating was not a big deal.
But Ming Qi needs—needs Gui Shi Hei to pretend to need his comfort, so as to deceive himself and others to relieve his guilt.
Stuffed in Ming Qi's feathers, Gui Shi Hei's voice was indistinct: "Don't worry about it, Yinyangliao restricts your access to resources and information, and Kido doesn't communicate with Shikigami very much. You don't know that these things are very important. Normal, uh... and I... forgot to mention it too."
After all, this kind of knowledge belongs to the content that everyone in Yin Yang Liao knows.Before Jifu shikigami became the shikigami of onmyoji, they also had their own set of formal standards.It's just that the long-term cooperative relationship may have caused onmyoji to misunderstand the relationship with shikigami, and the truth of course regards them as ordinary shikigami.
It was the first time for Ming Qi to hear such a statement, and the situation was complicated now.No matter how the ghost makes Hei face the situation of disappearing, it has an inseparable relationship with him.
Ming Qi's guilt made Gui Shihe feel embarrassed and embarrassed.Dissipating back to the main body really only needs to be understood literally. He never separates himself from the main body as two individuals. Dissipation does not mean that "ghost makes black" does not exist.At this moment, maybe the real him is fishing in the Underworld, being scolded by Ghost Shibai—in fact, he is a little excited when he thinks that he can go back to the Underworld to meet Ghost Shibai himself.
So this return did not harm Gui Shihei at all from body to heart... If you really want to say the victims, it would have to be counted as three branches, after all, so many Dharma eggs and imperial souls have been blinded for nothing.
After a while, Ming Qi calmed down a bit. He knew that Gui Shi Hei in the game was a fisherman who always asked Qing Ming for help and was passive and sabotage, so there was always a chance to see each other again.But he selfishly felt that this one in front of him was different and unique from the other ghosts.Ming Qi didn't dare to speak out, for fear that the other party would laugh at him again. He had only seen a few ghosts in total.
When he lifted his wings away from the other party, Ming Qi couldn't help feeling a little cheeky, feeling that he had lost his place and had to do something serious: "By the way, Yin Yang Liao said earlier that they found evidence pointing to me. Do you know what it is?"
"I found your feathers, and they were all down feathers." Gui Shihei recalled, "The first time I found it was in the home of an onmyoji who lost his shikigami. His shikigami was sealed in a box, together with the box. Missing. Just four days after the theft, your down feather showed up at the scene of the theft."
Ming Qi was amazed at the Onmyoji's thinking, the evidence that appeared on the fourth day was very doubtful in itself, let alone throwing it directly in front of their eyes for fear that the Onmyoji would not see it.How could the real criminal leave such obvious evidence?
However, many of his natural ideas have been slapped in the face before, such as the reason why Gui Shihei is trusted, and Kido must be cold-blooded and ruthless guesses about monsters.So now he will never label Onmyoji's behavior from the beginning.
Sure enough, Gui Shihei went on to say: "In the beginning, the Onmyojis didn't take this evidence as the main point, they just thought that someone accidentally stuck your bird feathers on it. But later they found it at Fujita's house, followed by Shumu home. And every time it shows up, it’s the scene of theft.”
The last time he was seen was at Shimada's house, that is, yesterday.It turned out that a certain assistant and his assistant went to Shimada's house to investigate. While they were investigating, this piece of down feather slowly appeared in front of their eyes, distorting the nearby space from nothing until it formed a complete feather.
On the down feathers there is the breath of Shimada's stolen shikigami.
At that time, the room assistant immediately decided to let the onmyojis who participated in the investigation guard the stolen rooms and families, and more and more feathers were found.The onmyojis took the down feathers and returned them to the Zongliao for testing. To their disappointment, they could not analyze what kind of monster left the down feathers. The good news is that these down feathers contained the aura of Shiroto.So they called Chenghu again, and Chenghu naturally recognized the down feather.
At that time, the theft had already happened for almost 20 days, and the Onmyojis couldn't wait any longer, and immediately decided to arrest Ming Qi first.
Regardless of whether Ming Qi is a criminal or not, since Ming Qi's feathers appear, at least he is inseparable from the criminal.What happened next was that Cheng Hu broke out of the Zongliao and went home to report the letter, and Ming Qi refused to escape the arrest even after he died.
"I believe you didn't take away those shikigami and charms. After all, this kind of evidence is like throwing it on the faces of onmyojis on purpose. It's very deliberate." Gui Shihei rubbed his eyebrows in confusion, and began to straighten out bit by bit. Thinking, "Let's start with the most obvious - do you shed hair? No, so why is your down feather showing up in the homes of those onmyojis?"
Gui Shihei has been living with him during this period, and he knows very well that Ming Qi does not lose his hair.So where did the feathers belonging to Mingqi come from?
Ming Qi was also lost in thought. Most of his feathers were hard and there were very few down feathers, some of which would only be lost when he groomed.But the down time mentioned by Gui Shihei was exactly one month after his last grooming.
So how on earth did his down feathers end up in those people's homes?
It can't be changed out of thin air.
Wait - half a month ago, he gave Kido a temporary warning.I didn't have any materials at hand, so I made nodes with my own down feathers.
"Ghost makes black, I remembered how those down feathers came from."
Ming Qi immediately told Gui Shihei about how he had set up a cordon in Chenghu's room at the beginning of the theft.
Gui Shihei pondered for a moment, and found that this incident had something in common with the theft case: "Whether it's the spell shikigami or your down feather is lost, it's because there is no response in the Onmyoji's barrier, and the shikigami don't have any perception." It happened under the circumstances. We have always positioned the origin of the enemy on the big monster who surpassed us, have you ever thought that the opponent should actually be an internal thief?"
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that the onmyoji did not respond to the external enchantment, and the shikigami did not respond to the strange breath.
There are several onmyojis whose Shikigami are big monsters, and they can never make mistakes in their sensing of strange auras.
Ming Qi looked at Gui Shihei in disbelief, and he didn't expect the other party to make such a guess: "So many onmyojis have been stolen, if they are internal thieves, how many shikigami should act collectively? In the same If they act at night, they will at least have had a high-profile party."
Ghost Shihei lowered his eyes, and asked Ming Qi: "What if the other party is a shikigami like me?"
'What if the other party is a shikigami like me? '
Ming Qi repeated Gui Shihei's words in his heart, a shikigami like Gui Shihei is nothing more than a hellish shikigami.There is a main body that can command the avatar in a unified way, and let the avatar execute a certain order through the task message.
At that time, Kido's house was also stolen, and the only Jifu shikigami in Shiroto's house was Ghost Shibai.
At that time, Gui Shibai was only born two days old and did not understand the structure of the Kido family, so Gui Shibai was directly removed from the scope of suspicion.Today, when they think about it again, these statements are still true, but there is one more thing: if the instructions given by the main body, Ghost Messenger Bai will definitely execute them.
"And after that, Ghost Messenger disappeared." Ming Qi said, at that time, Ghost Messenger Bai left a small note with a brief description of the mission: "Do you still remember what his mission was written?"
"There are ghosts gathered in Donglin, call back to the underworld." Ghost Envoy Hei replied, his ability is to cut off, so this kind of recall task is usually entrusted to Ghost Envoy Bai with the spirit summoning banner.
Pretty normal mission profile.
Ghost Messenger Hei held the sickle, and smiled at Ming Qi, just as he was as warm as he was to Ghost Messenger Bai at that time: "It's useless to think so much, I always feel that things are not that simple. Go and check the stolen ones first." Is there any Ghost Shibai in the family of Onmyoji, if there is, the next step is to look for the whereabouts of the Ghost Shibai of each family."
Talking about Ghost Messenger Hei, he thought that he might not be able to last until that moment, and added: "After I dissipate and return to my main body, I will naturally ask Ghost Messenger Bai for verification. At that time, my main body will come to the mortal world to help me."
It's always more uncomfortable to hear ghosts and blacks talk about dissipating things, Ming Qi rubbed his chest again, trying to disperse the oppressive depression.
At this time, Gui Shibai continued to say in a brisk tone: "After all, Gui Shibai wouldn't do that kind of thing, so the main body will definitely come to the mortal world to investigate."
Ming Qi struggled on the spot for a while, then suddenly called Gui Shihei: "Stand still first."
"Why?" Ghost Messenger Hei opened his mouth to ask, and felt that Ming Qi directly stuffed something into his mouth, and subconsciously swallowed it.
"My demon core, you use it for now." Ming Qi said calmly, without any emotion, "Although it is bound by the three branches, it is better than your situation where it will disperse at any time."
"then you……!"
Ming Qi directly covered Gui Shihei's mouth to prevent the other party from spitting out the demon core again.
There is a certain difference between him and ordinary demons.Unlike monsters that only have a demon core and no soul, Ming Qi, who is possessed through time travel, still has a small cheat - in addition to the demon core that is inherent in this body, he also has a human soul.Even if Ming Qi loses the demon core in a short period of time, at most he will not be able to generate new demon power on his own, so the demon power will be limited, and he can use a little less.
Jifu shikigami is like another kind of monster without a demon core. It has no demon power to maintain its shape, and once the demon power is exhausted, it will dissipate immediately.
"Both of us can't lose one combat power now, so don't vomit."
Chapter 11
It was relatively simple for them to investigate whether there was a ghost in the house of the stolen onmyoji.
Guishihei himself has the list of these stolen onmyojis, and he can also contact other shikigami for help.
"You have already broken the contract with Sanzhi, and there is Shikigami to help you?" Ming Qi was surprised when he learned that Ghost Shihei still had help. He thought that they would spend at least half of their time on the work of making arrangements.
Gui Shihei snorted triumphantly: "That's natural."
Then he took Ming Qi to the small backyard wall of Sanzhiliao Zhu's house, tapped the wall with a sickle, and output some demon power.
Immediately afterwards, Ming Qi saw another ghost come out of the yard.
"It's so ridiculous that you suddenly betrayed me, hahaha." The Ghost Messenger Hei who came out laughed immediately when he saw the Ghost Messenger Hei beside Ming Qi who had already released his contract. Ming Qi thought for a while before he remembered that this is not Sanzhi's family. Is that ghost black with heart, eyes and soul?
Aren't the two of them two souls derived from the same body, why is the relationship so bad, ghosts and blacks are about to hang up and still "hahaha"?
Ghost Shihei also showed an unbearable expression, even if it was all himself, he couldn't fully accept the individuality of each avatar.Some onmyoji really awakened ghosts too late or even never awakened at all, and their personalities have been formed so that it is difficult to be affected by memory. At this time, some strange things that are completely different from the original will appear, such as the black heart in front of them.
This bad-mouthed guy wasn't Saneda's shikigami at all, he was just fostered here by another onmyoji, but he just raised him and... won't leave...
Even with the title of foster care, other onmyojis have already agreed that this is the shikigami of the Sanzhi family.
As for Yuanqi Onmyoji, who has a dark heart and a dark heart, it is said that he felt that the capital was too narrow and the people's hearts were too flashy, so he went looking for poetry and faraway places, and did not return for a long time.
"I want you to help me, check to see if there is a shikigami in the house of the stolen onmyoji." Guishi Hei said concisely, speaking unexpectedly fast, and his dislike for the dark-hearted was palpable.
But he doesn't care about this because he has a dark heart, just thinking about the other avatar that he has been fighting with him is about to dissipate, he can't help but think about it.Fortunately, he also knew the priorities, so he smiled and agreed.
"It's a bit slow if I'm the only one looking for it one by one, so how about it." Xin Yanhei took out a thin booklet from his body, on which was the list of onmyojis from the theft.Ming Qi also went over to read it, and found that it was very similar to the one used by the Zongliao when people queued up for registration.
Xin Yanhei clicked on the number of pages in the booklet, there were eight pages and four sheets in total, and tore off a piece of paper under Gui Shihei's stare: "What are you staring at, this is my own manuscript, not the original—— Here, I'll check this one, and you can check the rest with other ghosts."
Stuffing the remaining three cards into Gui Shihei's hand, Xinyan Hei scratched his head to estimate the time he needed: "Give me an hour, and you can just call me when the time comes." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.
Gui Shihei and Ming Qi were left holding the remaining three pieces of paper in a daze.
"That's the end? He's too... straightforward." Ming Qi organized his words carefully. He thought it would take a while to find someone to help, but he didn't expect to need to explain the cause and effect.
Gui Shihei nodded speechlessly: "He was deeply influenced by his original contract with the Onmyoji..."
The next few ghost tricks are more troublesome, and it is really necessary to explain the cause and effect in detail.
One of them was particularly cautious, even in the face of his own avatar, he refused to relax, for fear that Gui Shihei was a dead puppet controlled by a voodoo master.But anyway, finally distributed the rest of the list.
There are still 21 hours before the time agreed with Sanzhi.
The investigation of Gui Shibai has been entrusted to other Shikigami, Ming Qi and Gui Shihei have to hurry up to find the whereabouts of Kido's Gui Shibai, and the first place to investigate is of course Donglin.Because Ghost Hei's moving speed was too slow, he wanted to hand over this job to Ming Qi, and go find the other ghost ghosts he knew well.He was about to leave, but was stopped by Ming Qi.
"Actually, I've been thinking about a question." Ming Qi said solemnly: "Has anyone in Yinyang Liao really thought about the internal thief? Jifu Shikigami can directly receive orders from the Jifu, which is actually an easy idea for Onmyojis." Did they really not have the slightest doubt about the matter? Even if they spare a little time, let the assistant directly communicate with the underworld body?"
Ghost Messenger thought for a moment and found that he couldn't answer this question.
What Ming Qi said was right, what they could think of, how could Yin Yang Liao not think of it?It is too untenable to simply use the reason that it is too deep to betray each other. It is difficult to betray each other, but it is not impossible to betray.
So when other evidence is insufficient, why didn't Yin Yang Liao launch a corresponding investigation?
Ghost Shihei recalled every detail related to this matter in detail, for fear of missing something.At the same time, Ming Qi also began to constantly think about what Yinyangliao has done since the incident happened.
At the beginning of the incident, Zongliao asked every onmyoji who was stolen to register, no problem.
Immediately afterwards, the Onmyojis decided to be led by Liao Zhu and divided into three different investigation teams to search for clues in groups.Considering the large number of victims, there is no problem in dividing them into multiple groups for investigation.
On the way, Ming Qi didn't know what Yinyangliao was doing. At that time, he dragged Gui Shihei to stay in various houses, looking for an onmyoji who was in the same situation as Chenghu, except that he lost the spell.But no valuable clues were found.However, the criminal evidence has appeared one after another during this period, and a lot of new evidence has become strong evidence.
Then two investigation teams headed by Tong Gu and San Zhi began to arrest Ming Qi.
After the capture failed, the timeline ended at this moment.
I always feel that something is wrong, but I just can't grasp the point.Ming Qi shook his head irritably, trying to wake himself up.
Seeing this, Ghost Messenger Hei lowered his voice to comfort him, "Don't worry, I'm still with you."
Ming Qi's heart warmed, and he sneaked a glance at Gui Shihei.
He didn't want the ghost in front of him to disappear at all.The more time we spend together, the stronger his sense of identity with this ghost is an independent individual. Even if the other party doesn't think he is an independent individual, his attitude towards dissipating is very casual.But every time Ming Qi thinks about this, he feels that they are saying goodbye forever.
Once the ghost makes the black dissipate, he is really the only demon left.Ming Qi couldn't imagine that the ghost Hei who had never met in the underworld would treat him as sincerely as the good friend in front of him now.His demon core is not suitable for Gui Shihei to use, it can only be used as a temporary substitute, and the incompatibility between demon power and demon power will be manifested over time.
Unless Ghost Shihei not only borrowed Ming Qi's demon core, but directly absorbed it and smelted it into his own demon core.
To calm down, Ming Qi decided not to think about these sad things for now, grasp the confusion about ghosts and whites, and think again.
"Speaking of which, from the beginning to the end, the investigation team of the other assistant didn't seem to do anything." Ming Qi wondered, the assistant who asked to investigate with Fuyu as the center didn't seem to care about the follow-up results, even The arrest of this kind of thing was done by Kiritani Sane——in this case, why did the assistant at that time investigate "Flower Feather" so seriously? Kind of anticlimactic.
Gui Shihei thought about it, it really is!
"Didn't we speculate why Yinyangliao didn't investigate Jifu Shikigami before? This basically silent investigation team is probably investigating Jifu Shikigami."
But now everything is speculation, Ming Qi and Gui Shihei have no evidence.When the two of them thought together, it was useless to stay here, so they simply went to Donglin together.If their guess is correct, there is a high chance that they will meet this onmyoji investigation team who has never shown themselves in Donglin.If they do come across it, it will be dangerous if only one demon passes by.
They have been together for so long, Gui Shihei has never seen Ming Qi use his natural ability.Gu Huo Niao's innate ability should be Tianxiang Crane Slash, but although Ming Qi has used seemingly similar skills, he has never really used a big move that consumes a lot of demon power.How could it be possible for a demon who is obsessed with researching moves and seizing every opportunity to hone his skills, to put his big moves aside and instead focus on the small ones?
But no matter why Ming Qi didn't use his ultimate move, as long as he still maintains the habit of relying on brute force skills and speed to deal with no matter what kind of opponent he faces, then he will always be in a dangerous state in battle.
Ghost Shihei doesn't like digging other people's secrets, Ming Qi doesn't know why he said that.
Maybe this is how the monster cultivated himself, Gui Shihei thought tangledly.There are always some monsters with special pursuits who don't know how to use their natural skills at critical moments, trying to break through the limits of their skills in times of crisis.
When they arrived at Donglin, the dense forest looked very normal.There are no ghosts, ghosts, or onmyojis, only the occasional bird song or two.
The only difference is that there is an abrupt and huge open space in this dense forest, spread out wide and flat, it seems to be as big as half of Heian-kyo.This clearing stands in stark contrast to the lush surrounding vegetation.Its edges are very smooth, and the ground is extremely flat, it looks like a man-made product.In the very center of the clearing was a dark object, indistinct in the night.
Ghost Messenger Hei was about to step in, but was immediately blocked by Ming Qi's wings: "Don't go in!"
This open space looks empty and clean to Gui Shihei, but it is completely different in Ming Qi's eyes.
Ming Qi only glanced roughly, and saw a few traces of space distortion.Just now, Gui Shihei almost stepped into this distortion.
Ming Qi's eyesight has always been very good, thanks to his original body, his eyesight limit is between one and two kilometers, and his vision of nearby objects is far wider than that of ordinary humans or monsters—or in other words, Ming Qi's The eyes never focused properly, and his eyes had always operated independently, seeing two completely different images.
One is the normal horizon.
The other is a horizon full of traces.
These traces can be traces of demon power, traces of blood, or other traces.Just like cats and dogs can capture traces of smell, Mingqi can capture subtle visual traces.
Just when Gui Shihei was about to step onto the open space, Ming Qi saw traces of blood twisting and squeezing in the air, kneaded by some external force into various strange shapes.
I remember that Gui Shihei said before that his feathers distort the space and gradually appear in the eyes of the onmyojis.
"Ghost makes black, there must have been a fight here before, and the scale is not small."
Ghost Messenger Hei heard the words and sensed it, but he didn't feel anything.
Different from Ming Qi's sensing method, Ghost Shihei uses his own demonic power to collide within the entire range. As long as there is demonic power or spiritual power, the demonic power he radiates will immediately return the position to him. This is also the detection method of most monsters.
Just now outside the Sanzhi House, the ghost sent Hei to use this kind of collision sensor to notify Xinyan Hei.
But in Ming Qi's eyes, besides the traces of twisted blood in the air, there are more specks of spiritual power, specks of demonic power scattered everywhere, deducing the previous scuffle here.
Facing Gui Shihei's puzzled eyes, Ming Qi nodded resolutely, and pointed at the box seat in the center of the open space: "Follow me, there are traces of space distortion everywhere, blood stains, it seems that it has been swallowed. A lot of people and demons."
Ming Qi looked at what he could hold on to, and wanted to contribute his belt, but felt that he was too far away to remind Gui Shihei of his movements in time: "Hold on to your wings, don't wander around, let's go over there .”
Ghost Messenger Hei stretched out his hand to grab one of Ming Qi's wings without hesitation, and stuck tightly to Ming Qi.The inner layer of Ming Qi's steel feather is still a bit soft, holding it in his hand is like grabbing a handful of basil.Ghost Shihei pinched it involuntarily, and brushed the fine and fine feathers back and forth in the palm of his hand. He looked down at the feathers he was grabbing, but felt that his arms were a little numb.
——The demon core began to reject.
'...I didn't expect it to be so fast, I'll tell Ming Qi later. '
Gui Shihei was a little tangled, but if he took out the demon core now, he might also dissipate on the spot due to insufficient demon power during the battle.
At this moment, there are still nineteen hours before the time agreed with Sanzhi.
Chapter 12
Ming Qi carefully observed the surrounding situation.
These distorted spaces may be large or small, and they are constantly deforming.Unavoidably, he needs to stop occasionally to call Gui Shihei to pay attention to his posture.Later, the two monsters had a tacit understanding, as soon as Ming Qi stopped, Guishi Hei would tighten his body, occupying as little space as possible.Although there are some places where he doesn't need to be so careful, Ming Qi didn't remind him maliciously.
when they go
What's more, the shikigami from the underworld have no memory when they are summoned, and they are all gradually cultivated by onmyoji until they are awakened.This has led to many ghosts and blacks clearly originating from the same individual, but with very different personalities.
Mistakes made by such shikigami will often implicate the onmyoji and be punished.
After all, other people's emissaries are fine, so why is yours doing the trick?
Sanzhi looked at Gui Shihei angrily, but the other party just blinked at him and shook Tong Gu who was still being strangled by the neck.Gui Shihei is not threatening the Onmyojis with Kiritani, this cunning shikigami is only threatening himself with actions!
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Sanzhi asked, his teeth could not be more tightly clenched, and his voice was completely squeezed out of the cracks.
Gui Shihei thought for a while, then bowed his head sincerely, and made a small gift to Sanzhi.It's just that he is still holding Tong Gu in one hand, which makes this action look very funny: "How about Sanzhi, you and my bond are also released?"
This sentence immediately made Sanzhi so angry that his eyes went dark, and it took a while before he could see things clearly.
On the other hand, the onmyojis began to discuss in a low voice, and the content was nothing more than "What's wrong with this ghost?"
Ming Qi, who was digesting the eggshell and pretending it didn't exist, looked coldly at Gui Shihei who was involved, and was not sure of the other party's intention to jump back suddenly.Moreover, Gui Shihei bought him time to eat eggs, gave him a chance to stand out from the encirclement, and also took the blame for Cheng Hu's crimes.
But what should the ghost make him do?Once he ran away, the ghost who was left alone would be in bad luck.
Thinking of this, Ming Qi quickly digested Bodhidharma, and in a very short time allowed himself to climb to the full six-hook spiritual power.Relying on the high speed of the six hooks, Ming Qi made a sudden move, breaking the strange balance in the room—he resisted the attacks of several other high-speed shikigami, and poked the three branches of the defensive barrier that were automatically released when the time limit expired: "Get rid of him!" Deed!"
Immediately afterwards, Ming Qi regained his composure, grabbed Sanzhi and stood together with Ghost Shihei: "Don't try to kill me, let the witch and gu master turn me into a puppet and find the place where the spell is hidden. You will not be left with the scum of self-explosion."
Ghost Messenger Hei never expected that Ming Qi would admit to his crime at this time, and his previous efforts were in vain with just a few words.
Although it is not bad to use the spell as an excuse, they now have three hostages in their hands.Tong Gu Liaozhu, Sanzhi Liaozhu, and the missing talisman.
The group of onmyojis in front of them didn't know anything about the cause and effect, and this confession really bluffed them.After all, Ming Qi has been demonized before, and it is easy to demonize a demon that has already been demonized.If Ming Qi really blew himself up, wouldn't their talisman never see the light of day?It's nothing more than an empty talisman, many talismans still have shikigami sealed inside!
"If you stop here, I can return the spell." Seeing that the onmyojis were hesitant, Ming Qi hit the snake with a stick and started talking nonsense: "The purpose of stealing the spell is to force Chenghu to release the contract for me, otherwise I will say that he ordered it." What I did made it impossible for him to stay in Yin-Yang Lao. As long as you are willing to let us go, you can naturally get back the previous spells."
Everyone naturally thought of Gu Huo Niao's resistance to demonization when the city household was formed as a contract.Being so unwilling to become a shikigami, it seems reasonable to force the onmyoji to submit in order to escape and steal?It's just how did the ghost make Hei get involved?
Things have come to this, Sanzhi had no choice but to hold back his anger, and agreed to relieve the contract with Oni Shihei: "Oni Shihei, you should think about it, you are different from other shikigami."
Gui Shihei still looked indifferent, nodded and just listened.
"But this time, I have to put a binding spell on Gu Huo Bird." Sanzhi slowly put the release talisman on Gui Shihei's body, but didn't stick it on: "If you let you go this time, but don't put the deed in one day. When the spell is returned, I will definitely use the binding spell to crush Guhuo Bird's demon core."
Ming Qi watched anxiously from the side, waved his wings and pushed Sanzhi's hand towards Gui Shihei: "You really talk a lot."
When Ming Qi walked out of the city house together with Guishi Hei wearing a binding curse, it felt like a lifetime away.
"...too many things to do today."
Gui Shihei slapped him on the top of the head: "Don't be emotional, think about how to start."
The road to the outside of the city seemed surprisingly long today, Ming Qi was quiet for a long time before asking: "Why did you help me?"
Gui Shihei rubbed his face and forced a smile: "Firstly, it was for Kido, someone must help him get rid of the crime. Second, it was for my conscience... I am sure that you didn't do it, but I couldn't convince Sanzhi, or even Sanzhi and the others agreed to take your life, but I thought they would only interrogate you."
If the Onmyojis didn't intend to kill Gu Huo Niao directly, Gui Shihei would definitely not stop him.However, the brutality of the onmyojis has exceeded Gui Shihei's bottom line. He cannot accept that a life has been thrown into the underworld before the truth of a matter itself has been discovered.
In the end, Ghost Messenger Hei yawned and concluded, "I'm a ghost messenger of the underworld, and my job is not to be a pawn for Onmyoji. If the later evidence proves that you did it, I have a way to notify Sanzhi to kill you."
Chapter 10
There are few people in the small woods outside of Kyoto, and Ming Qi's first stop after leaving Chenghu's house is here.
When he was with his aunt, he was used to eating and sleeping in the open air, and now he didn't feel inconvenient to rest in the dense forest. Ghost Hei was in a daze, and he just stared at a pond raised by a stream to catch fish.
If the wings are inconvenient, use the wind blade to catch them. If you don't have hands to flip the grilled fish, you directly light a fire and bury the fish in the ground.Then he squatted beside him holding his face and waiting.
After breaking the contract with Chenghu, without the support of spiritual power, Ming Qi's monster power consumption increased, and even his stomach became hungry faster.What's more, it's the middle of the night, and the last meal of Ming Qi was the few oranges he ate yesterday, so he always feels uncomfortable with an empty stomach.
About three or ten minutes later, the smell of cooked fish began to radiate from the ground. Ming Qi took out the fish with a small wind blade, and deliberately peeled off the surface covered with soil, split the fish in half, and handed it to the ghost. Make one copy black.
"No, thanks." Gui Shihei raised his hand to reject the piece of fish, "I will dissipate soon after the contract is released, so I won't be hungry or need to eat."
Ok……
Ok?
Um! ! ! !
"It's fine that I was stuck with a bondage talisman, did Sanzhi not attack you?" Ming Qi hurriedly stood up, with a wind blade on each side and half a fish hanging on each wind blade, which seemed a bit stupid Immediately laughed at Ghost Messenger.
In fact, it is difficult to observe Gui Shihei's smiling face in the dark, but Ming Qi's night vision ability is very strong. Although the visual effects are different during the day and night, he can still see that Gui Shihei is smiling happily.He was not at all nervous about the situation where he was about to dissipate.
"Still laughing!"
Gui Shihei took a deep breath, and carefully restrained his smile, although he felt that this kind of thing was nothing to worry about: "Did you hear what Sanzhi said when we left? ——We are different from ordinary shikigami."
Ming Qi recalled, there was such a period, so what?Is there a third one like them who forced to release the contract?
"I also said before that the ghost messenger is just a clone of the underworld's main body on the ground." The ghost messenger Hei shook his head, picked up a stone from the ground, chose the sharp end, and carved it on the mud: "If the main body It's the stone, then I, or 'we', are the traces left on the ground."
Speaking of this, Gui Shihei has already scratched the mark, but still opened the stone.Ming Qi took a closer look, and found that these three characters were "ghosts make black".He looked at the words suspiciously and asked: "So what, even if it's just a trace, existence is existence?"
Gui Shihei stretched out his hand again and wiped the ground.The mud floor is soft, and this touch directly makes the handwriting completely blurred: "Then can you still see the existence now? After a little damage, this trace will disappear-this is the relationship between Jifu Shikigami and Onmyoji, relying on the relationship with With the maintenance of the spiritual power of the Onmyoji, our traces will become very strong and difficult to destroy. Most of the other shikigami are individuals, and the formation of the contract is only a short page in their lives, and they rely on the Onmyoji to a considerable extent. Low."
Ming Qi suddenly understood why Yinyangliao chose Guishihei to monitor him.
Even if it wasn't the ghost in front of him, it would be another shikigami.The interdependent relationship between Jifu shikigami and Onmyoji is deep enough that it is difficult for them to betray each other.
The ghost who lost the three-branch contract will soon gradually lose his imprint in this world because he does not have a solid protective layer.
"Actually, Sanzhi and I have a pretty good relationship. He was still young when he was not awakened, and we grew up together. At that time, he was just like Kido now, impulsive and soft-hearted, and always bad. So this solution Qi, he should be furious. But what happened this time is quite weird, and although the evidence is strong, it cannot convince me to convict you right away." Gui Shihei smiled again, and Ming Qi only felt heartbroken when he saw it this time. .
"If I don't find out the truth tomorrow, I'll just use my set of imperial souls. Anyway, Sanzhi didn't ask me to go back. Then go to Sanzhi's place to secretly look for Xinyanhei, and continue to investigate." Ghost Messenger Hei laughed again. Showing his small fangs, "Or the judge can do it. Once everyone has doubts about the result, they will definitely be like me. The underworld is full-time judges, and those three-legged cat onmyojis can't just persuade them."
Ming Qi felt guilty when he heard that, at that time he only felt that Gui Shihei was lying to him, but he didn't understand Gui Shihei's position.He doesn't know whether it's the dependent relationship between Jifu Shikigami and Onmyoji or the relationship between Guishihei and Sanzhi.
"I'm sorry." Ming Qi apologized softly, and lost interest in eating fish, threw the food and shook his feathers, covering his wings with ghosts.He could see that there was no need for consolation, the other party really felt that dissipating was not a big deal.
But Ming Qi needs—needs Gui Shi Hei to pretend to need his comfort, so as to deceive himself and others to relieve his guilt.
Stuffed in Ming Qi's feathers, Gui Shi Hei's voice was indistinct: "Don't worry about it, Yinyangliao restricts your access to resources and information, and Kido doesn't communicate with Shikigami very much. You don't know that these things are very important. Normal, uh... and I... forgot to mention it too."
After all, this kind of knowledge belongs to the content that everyone in Yin Yang Liao knows.Before Jifu shikigami became the shikigami of onmyoji, they also had their own set of formal standards.It's just that the long-term cooperative relationship may have caused onmyoji to misunderstand the relationship with shikigami, and the truth of course regards them as ordinary shikigami.
It was the first time for Ming Qi to hear such a statement, and the situation was complicated now.No matter how the ghost makes Hei face the situation of disappearing, it has an inseparable relationship with him.
Ming Qi's guilt made Gui Shihe feel embarrassed and embarrassed.Dissipating back to the main body really only needs to be understood literally. He never separates himself from the main body as two individuals. Dissipation does not mean that "ghost makes black" does not exist.At this moment, maybe the real him is fishing in the Underworld, being scolded by Ghost Shibai—in fact, he is a little excited when he thinks that he can go back to the Underworld to meet Ghost Shibai himself.
So this return did not harm Gui Shihei at all from body to heart... If you really want to say the victims, it would have to be counted as three branches, after all, so many Dharma eggs and imperial souls have been blinded for nothing.
After a while, Ming Qi calmed down a bit. He knew that Gui Shi Hei in the game was a fisherman who always asked Qing Ming for help and was passive and sabotage, so there was always a chance to see each other again.But he selfishly felt that this one in front of him was different and unique from the other ghosts.Ming Qi didn't dare to speak out, for fear that the other party would laugh at him again. He had only seen a few ghosts in total.
When he lifted his wings away from the other party, Ming Qi couldn't help feeling a little cheeky, feeling that he had lost his place and had to do something serious: "By the way, Yin Yang Liao said earlier that they found evidence pointing to me. Do you know what it is?"
"I found your feathers, and they were all down feathers." Gui Shihei recalled, "The first time I found it was in the home of an onmyoji who lost his shikigami. His shikigami was sealed in a box, together with the box. Missing. Just four days after the theft, your down feather showed up at the scene of the theft."
Ming Qi was amazed at the Onmyoji's thinking, the evidence that appeared on the fourth day was very doubtful in itself, let alone throwing it directly in front of their eyes for fear that the Onmyoji would not see it.How could the real criminal leave such obvious evidence?
However, many of his natural ideas have been slapped in the face before, such as the reason why Gui Shihei is trusted, and Kido must be cold-blooded and ruthless guesses about monsters.So now he will never label Onmyoji's behavior from the beginning.
Sure enough, Gui Shihei went on to say: "In the beginning, the Onmyojis didn't take this evidence as the main point, they just thought that someone accidentally stuck your bird feathers on it. But later they found it at Fujita's house, followed by Shumu home. And every time it shows up, it’s the scene of theft.”
The last time he was seen was at Shimada's house, that is, yesterday.It turned out that a certain assistant and his assistant went to Shimada's house to investigate. While they were investigating, this piece of down feather slowly appeared in front of their eyes, distorting the nearby space from nothing until it formed a complete feather.
On the down feathers there is the breath of Shimada's stolen shikigami.
At that time, the room assistant immediately decided to let the onmyojis who participated in the investigation guard the stolen rooms and families, and more and more feathers were found.The onmyojis took the down feathers and returned them to the Zongliao for testing. To their disappointment, they could not analyze what kind of monster left the down feathers. The good news is that these down feathers contained the aura of Shiroto.So they called Chenghu again, and Chenghu naturally recognized the down feather.
At that time, the theft had already happened for almost 20 days, and the Onmyojis couldn't wait any longer, and immediately decided to arrest Ming Qi first.
Regardless of whether Ming Qi is a criminal or not, since Ming Qi's feathers appear, at least he is inseparable from the criminal.What happened next was that Cheng Hu broke out of the Zongliao and went home to report the letter, and Ming Qi refused to escape the arrest even after he died.
"I believe you didn't take away those shikigami and charms. After all, this kind of evidence is like throwing it on the faces of onmyojis on purpose. It's very deliberate." Gui Shihei rubbed his eyebrows in confusion, and began to straighten out bit by bit. Thinking, "Let's start with the most obvious - do you shed hair? No, so why is your down feather showing up in the homes of those onmyojis?"
Gui Shihei has been living with him during this period, and he knows very well that Ming Qi does not lose his hair.So where did the feathers belonging to Mingqi come from?
Ming Qi was also lost in thought. Most of his feathers were hard and there were very few down feathers, some of which would only be lost when he groomed.But the down time mentioned by Gui Shihei was exactly one month after his last grooming.
So how on earth did his down feathers end up in those people's homes?
It can't be changed out of thin air.
Wait - half a month ago, he gave Kido a temporary warning.I didn't have any materials at hand, so I made nodes with my own down feathers.
"Ghost makes black, I remembered how those down feathers came from."
Ming Qi immediately told Gui Shihei about how he had set up a cordon in Chenghu's room at the beginning of the theft.
Gui Shihei pondered for a moment, and found that this incident had something in common with the theft case: "Whether it's the spell shikigami or your down feather is lost, it's because there is no response in the Onmyoji's barrier, and the shikigami don't have any perception." It happened under the circumstances. We have always positioned the origin of the enemy on the big monster who surpassed us, have you ever thought that the opponent should actually be an internal thief?"
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that the onmyoji did not respond to the external enchantment, and the shikigami did not respond to the strange breath.
There are several onmyojis whose Shikigami are big monsters, and they can never make mistakes in their sensing of strange auras.
Ming Qi looked at Gui Shihei in disbelief, and he didn't expect the other party to make such a guess: "So many onmyojis have been stolen, if they are internal thieves, how many shikigami should act collectively? In the same If they act at night, they will at least have had a high-profile party."
Ghost Shihei lowered his eyes, and asked Ming Qi: "What if the other party is a shikigami like me?"
'What if the other party is a shikigami like me? '
Ming Qi repeated Gui Shihei's words in his heart, a shikigami like Gui Shihei is nothing more than a hellish shikigami.There is a main body that can command the avatar in a unified way, and let the avatar execute a certain order through the task message.
At that time, Kido's house was also stolen, and the only Jifu shikigami in Shiroto's house was Ghost Shibai.
At that time, Gui Shibai was only born two days old and did not understand the structure of the Kido family, so Gui Shibai was directly removed from the scope of suspicion.Today, when they think about it again, these statements are still true, but there is one more thing: if the instructions given by the main body, Ghost Messenger Bai will definitely execute them.
"And after that, Ghost Messenger disappeared." Ming Qi said, at that time, Ghost Messenger Bai left a small note with a brief description of the mission: "Do you still remember what his mission was written?"
"There are ghosts gathered in Donglin, call back to the underworld." Ghost Envoy Hei replied, his ability is to cut off, so this kind of recall task is usually entrusted to Ghost Envoy Bai with the spirit summoning banner.
Pretty normal mission profile.
Ghost Messenger Hei held the sickle, and smiled at Ming Qi, just as he was as warm as he was to Ghost Messenger Bai at that time: "It's useless to think so much, I always feel that things are not that simple. Go and check the stolen ones first." Is there any Ghost Shibai in the family of Onmyoji, if there is, the next step is to look for the whereabouts of the Ghost Shibai of each family."
Talking about Ghost Messenger Hei, he thought that he might not be able to last until that moment, and added: "After I dissipate and return to my main body, I will naturally ask Ghost Messenger Bai for verification. At that time, my main body will come to the mortal world to help me."
It's always more uncomfortable to hear ghosts and blacks talk about dissipating things, Ming Qi rubbed his chest again, trying to disperse the oppressive depression.
At this time, Gui Shibai continued to say in a brisk tone: "After all, Gui Shibai wouldn't do that kind of thing, so the main body will definitely come to the mortal world to investigate."
Ming Qi struggled on the spot for a while, then suddenly called Gui Shihei: "Stand still first."
"Why?" Ghost Messenger Hei opened his mouth to ask, and felt that Ming Qi directly stuffed something into his mouth, and subconsciously swallowed it.
"My demon core, you use it for now." Ming Qi said calmly, without any emotion, "Although it is bound by the three branches, it is better than your situation where it will disperse at any time."
"then you……!"
Ming Qi directly covered Gui Shihei's mouth to prevent the other party from spitting out the demon core again.
There is a certain difference between him and ordinary demons.Unlike monsters that only have a demon core and no soul, Ming Qi, who is possessed through time travel, still has a small cheat - in addition to the demon core that is inherent in this body, he also has a human soul.Even if Ming Qi loses the demon core in a short period of time, at most he will not be able to generate new demon power on his own, so the demon power will be limited, and he can use a little less.
Jifu shikigami is like another kind of monster without a demon core. It has no demon power to maintain its shape, and once the demon power is exhausted, it will dissipate immediately.
"Both of us can't lose one combat power now, so don't vomit."
Chapter 11
It was relatively simple for them to investigate whether there was a ghost in the house of the stolen onmyoji.
Guishihei himself has the list of these stolen onmyojis, and he can also contact other shikigami for help.
"You have already broken the contract with Sanzhi, and there is Shikigami to help you?" Ming Qi was surprised when he learned that Ghost Shihei still had help. He thought that they would spend at least half of their time on the work of making arrangements.
Gui Shihei snorted triumphantly: "That's natural."
Then he took Ming Qi to the small backyard wall of Sanzhiliao Zhu's house, tapped the wall with a sickle, and output some demon power.
Immediately afterwards, Ming Qi saw another ghost come out of the yard.
"It's so ridiculous that you suddenly betrayed me, hahaha." The Ghost Messenger Hei who came out laughed immediately when he saw the Ghost Messenger Hei beside Ming Qi who had already released his contract. Ming Qi thought for a while before he remembered that this is not Sanzhi's family. Is that ghost black with heart, eyes and soul?
Aren't the two of them two souls derived from the same body, why is the relationship so bad, ghosts and blacks are about to hang up and still "hahaha"?
Ghost Shihei also showed an unbearable expression, even if it was all himself, he couldn't fully accept the individuality of each avatar.Some onmyoji really awakened ghosts too late or even never awakened at all, and their personalities have been formed so that it is difficult to be affected by memory. At this time, some strange things that are completely different from the original will appear, such as the black heart in front of them.
This bad-mouthed guy wasn't Saneda's shikigami at all, he was just fostered here by another onmyoji, but he just raised him and... won't leave...
Even with the title of foster care, other onmyojis have already agreed that this is the shikigami of the Sanzhi family.
As for Yuanqi Onmyoji, who has a dark heart and a dark heart, it is said that he felt that the capital was too narrow and the people's hearts were too flashy, so he went looking for poetry and faraway places, and did not return for a long time.
"I want you to help me, check to see if there is a shikigami in the house of the stolen onmyoji." Guishi Hei said concisely, speaking unexpectedly fast, and his dislike for the dark-hearted was palpable.
But he doesn't care about this because he has a dark heart, just thinking about the other avatar that he has been fighting with him is about to dissipate, he can't help but think about it.Fortunately, he also knew the priorities, so he smiled and agreed.
"It's a bit slow if I'm the only one looking for it one by one, so how about it." Xin Yanhei took out a thin booklet from his body, on which was the list of onmyojis from the theft.Ming Qi also went over to read it, and found that it was very similar to the one used by the Zongliao when people queued up for registration.
Xin Yanhei clicked on the number of pages in the booklet, there were eight pages and four sheets in total, and tore off a piece of paper under Gui Shihei's stare: "What are you staring at, this is my own manuscript, not the original—— Here, I'll check this one, and you can check the rest with other ghosts."
Stuffing the remaining three cards into Gui Shihei's hand, Xinyan Hei scratched his head to estimate the time he needed: "Give me an hour, and you can just call me when the time comes." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.
Gui Shihei and Ming Qi were left holding the remaining three pieces of paper in a daze.
"That's the end? He's too... straightforward." Ming Qi organized his words carefully. He thought it would take a while to find someone to help, but he didn't expect to need to explain the cause and effect.
Gui Shihei nodded speechlessly: "He was deeply influenced by his original contract with the Onmyoji..."
The next few ghost tricks are more troublesome, and it is really necessary to explain the cause and effect in detail.
One of them was particularly cautious, even in the face of his own avatar, he refused to relax, for fear that Gui Shihei was a dead puppet controlled by a voodoo master.But anyway, finally distributed the rest of the list.
There are still 21 hours before the time agreed with Sanzhi.
The investigation of Gui Shibai has been entrusted to other Shikigami, Ming Qi and Gui Shihei have to hurry up to find the whereabouts of Kido's Gui Shibai, and the first place to investigate is of course Donglin.Because Ghost Hei's moving speed was too slow, he wanted to hand over this job to Ming Qi, and go find the other ghost ghosts he knew well.He was about to leave, but was stopped by Ming Qi.
"Actually, I've been thinking about a question." Ming Qi said solemnly: "Has anyone in Yinyang Liao really thought about the internal thief? Jifu Shikigami can directly receive orders from the Jifu, which is actually an easy idea for Onmyojis." Did they really not have the slightest doubt about the matter? Even if they spare a little time, let the assistant directly communicate with the underworld body?"
Ghost Messenger thought for a moment and found that he couldn't answer this question.
What Ming Qi said was right, what they could think of, how could Yin Yang Liao not think of it?It is too untenable to simply use the reason that it is too deep to betray each other. It is difficult to betray each other, but it is not impossible to betray.
So when other evidence is insufficient, why didn't Yin Yang Liao launch a corresponding investigation?
Ghost Shihei recalled every detail related to this matter in detail, for fear of missing something.At the same time, Ming Qi also began to constantly think about what Yinyangliao has done since the incident happened.
At the beginning of the incident, Zongliao asked every onmyoji who was stolen to register, no problem.
Immediately afterwards, the Onmyojis decided to be led by Liao Zhu and divided into three different investigation teams to search for clues in groups.Considering the large number of victims, there is no problem in dividing them into multiple groups for investigation.
On the way, Ming Qi didn't know what Yinyangliao was doing. At that time, he dragged Gui Shihei to stay in various houses, looking for an onmyoji who was in the same situation as Chenghu, except that he lost the spell.But no valuable clues were found.However, the criminal evidence has appeared one after another during this period, and a lot of new evidence has become strong evidence.
Then two investigation teams headed by Tong Gu and San Zhi began to arrest Ming Qi.
After the capture failed, the timeline ended at this moment.
I always feel that something is wrong, but I just can't grasp the point.Ming Qi shook his head irritably, trying to wake himself up.
Seeing this, Ghost Messenger Hei lowered his voice to comfort him, "Don't worry, I'm still with you."
Ming Qi's heart warmed, and he sneaked a glance at Gui Shihei.
He didn't want the ghost in front of him to disappear at all.The more time we spend together, the stronger his sense of identity with this ghost is an independent individual. Even if the other party doesn't think he is an independent individual, his attitude towards dissipating is very casual.But every time Ming Qi thinks about this, he feels that they are saying goodbye forever.
Once the ghost makes the black dissipate, he is really the only demon left.Ming Qi couldn't imagine that the ghost Hei who had never met in the underworld would treat him as sincerely as the good friend in front of him now.His demon core is not suitable for Gui Shihei to use, it can only be used as a temporary substitute, and the incompatibility between demon power and demon power will be manifested over time.
Unless Ghost Shihei not only borrowed Ming Qi's demon core, but directly absorbed it and smelted it into his own demon core.
To calm down, Ming Qi decided not to think about these sad things for now, grasp the confusion about ghosts and whites, and think again.
"Speaking of which, from the beginning to the end, the investigation team of the other assistant didn't seem to do anything." Ming Qi wondered, the assistant who asked to investigate with Fuyu as the center didn't seem to care about the follow-up results, even The arrest of this kind of thing was done by Kiritani Sane——in this case, why did the assistant at that time investigate "Flower Feather" so seriously? Kind of anticlimactic.
Gui Shihei thought about it, it really is!
"Didn't we speculate why Yinyangliao didn't investigate Jifu Shikigami before? This basically silent investigation team is probably investigating Jifu Shikigami."
But now everything is speculation, Ming Qi and Gui Shihei have no evidence.When the two of them thought together, it was useless to stay here, so they simply went to Donglin together.If their guess is correct, there is a high chance that they will meet this onmyoji investigation team who has never shown themselves in Donglin.If they do come across it, it will be dangerous if only one demon passes by.
They have been together for so long, Gui Shihei has never seen Ming Qi use his natural ability.Gu Huo Niao's innate ability should be Tianxiang Crane Slash, but although Ming Qi has used seemingly similar skills, he has never really used a big move that consumes a lot of demon power.How could it be possible for a demon who is obsessed with researching moves and seizing every opportunity to hone his skills, to put his big moves aside and instead focus on the small ones?
But no matter why Ming Qi didn't use his ultimate move, as long as he still maintains the habit of relying on brute force skills and speed to deal with no matter what kind of opponent he faces, then he will always be in a dangerous state in battle.
Ghost Shihei doesn't like digging other people's secrets, Ming Qi doesn't know why he said that.
Maybe this is how the monster cultivated himself, Gui Shihei thought tangledly.There are always some monsters with special pursuits who don't know how to use their natural skills at critical moments, trying to break through the limits of their skills in times of crisis.
When they arrived at Donglin, the dense forest looked very normal.There are no ghosts, ghosts, or onmyojis, only the occasional bird song or two.
The only difference is that there is an abrupt and huge open space in this dense forest, spread out wide and flat, it seems to be as big as half of Heian-kyo.This clearing stands in stark contrast to the lush surrounding vegetation.Its edges are very smooth, and the ground is extremely flat, it looks like a man-made product.In the very center of the clearing was a dark object, indistinct in the night.
Ghost Messenger Hei was about to step in, but was immediately blocked by Ming Qi's wings: "Don't go in!"
This open space looks empty and clean to Gui Shihei, but it is completely different in Ming Qi's eyes.
Ming Qi only glanced roughly, and saw a few traces of space distortion.Just now, Gui Shihei almost stepped into this distortion.
Ming Qi's eyesight has always been very good, thanks to his original body, his eyesight limit is between one and two kilometers, and his vision of nearby objects is far wider than that of ordinary humans or monsters—or in other words, Ming Qi's The eyes never focused properly, and his eyes had always operated independently, seeing two completely different images.
One is the normal horizon.
The other is a horizon full of traces.
These traces can be traces of demon power, traces of blood, or other traces.Just like cats and dogs can capture traces of smell, Mingqi can capture subtle visual traces.
Just when Gui Shihei was about to step onto the open space, Ming Qi saw traces of blood twisting and squeezing in the air, kneaded by some external force into various strange shapes.
I remember that Gui Shihei said before that his feathers distort the space and gradually appear in the eyes of the onmyojis.
"Ghost makes black, there must have been a fight here before, and the scale is not small."
Ghost Messenger Hei heard the words and sensed it, but he didn't feel anything.
Different from Ming Qi's sensing method, Ghost Shihei uses his own demonic power to collide within the entire range. As long as there is demonic power or spiritual power, the demonic power he radiates will immediately return the position to him. This is also the detection method of most monsters.
Just now outside the Sanzhi House, the ghost sent Hei to use this kind of collision sensor to notify Xinyan Hei.
But in Ming Qi's eyes, besides the traces of twisted blood in the air, there are more specks of spiritual power, specks of demonic power scattered everywhere, deducing the previous scuffle here.
Facing Gui Shihei's puzzled eyes, Ming Qi nodded resolutely, and pointed at the box seat in the center of the open space: "Follow me, there are traces of space distortion everywhere, blood stains, it seems that it has been swallowed. A lot of people and demons."
Ming Qi looked at what he could hold on to, and wanted to contribute his belt, but felt that he was too far away to remind Gui Shihei of his movements in time: "Hold on to your wings, don't wander around, let's go over there .”
Ghost Messenger Hei stretched out his hand to grab one of Ming Qi's wings without hesitation, and stuck tightly to Ming Qi.The inner layer of Ming Qi's steel feather is still a bit soft, holding it in his hand is like grabbing a handful of basil.Ghost Shihei pinched it involuntarily, and brushed the fine and fine feathers back and forth in the palm of his hand. He looked down at the feathers he was grabbing, but felt that his arms were a little numb.
——The demon core began to reject.
'...I didn't expect it to be so fast, I'll tell Ming Qi later. '
Gui Shihei was a little tangled, but if he took out the demon core now, he might also dissipate on the spot due to insufficient demon power during the battle.
At this moment, there are still nineteen hours before the time agreed with Sanzhi.
Chapter 12
Ming Qi carefully observed the surrounding situation.
These distorted spaces may be large or small, and they are constantly deforming.Unavoidably, he needs to stop occasionally to call Gui Shihei to pay attention to his posture.Later, the two monsters had a tacit understanding, as soon as Ming Qi stopped, Guishi Hei would tighten his body, occupying as little space as possible.Although there are some places where he doesn't need to be so careful, Ming Qi didn't remind him maliciously.
