Devil Gaiden

When she wanted to enrich the database, Grandma Dengshi would always tell her not to ask too many questions, and almost at the same time, Catherine would always secretly wave to her, with... a different smile on her face...

Well, how to describe this kind of smile... I remember Yinsang mentioned it once before, that is "cheap"...

In short, with a mean smile on her face, the housewife with cat ears called her to a small corner, and approached her mysteriously.

"For this kind of thing, you can ask that natural roll how much fun he had with the proprietress at night."

Catherine would always say that, and occasionally once or twice, if she ran into Yinsang and happened to be passing by...

"Ahhh! It hurts! Let me go, you bastard with natural curly hair!"

The cheek was tightly pinched, and it was lifted up, and this already unbearable housewife's face became even more deformed...

"You dirty cat ears housewife, if you have time to read other people's private life here, why don't you hurry up and wipe the floor for me!" The face was pulled higher, and Catherine's small eyes were already narrowed. There was a crack, but the silver natural curl was still relentless. "Gossip and these things actually reflect your filthy and dirty heart to a certain extent. No one came to satisfy your wretched desires, so you became like this? Play with the mop stick by yourself!" Nostrils, the natural curly samurai was the first to wipe something dirty into the short hair of the housewife with cat ears.

Time and time again, facing the two people scolding each other, Xiaoyu would walk away silently, and the doubts in her heart could not be solved. On this day...

Her thoughts returned to the onmyoji in front of her. Xiaoyu hoped that she could get the final answer. After all, would this man tell her how to use the gorilla to satisfy the popular game recently?

"That...Actually, it's nothing..." The strange man replied, his voice was slightly hesitant, and his tone was flat. Just like his face, there were no outstanding features that were easy to remember. "I originally came to participate in this onmyoji competition, but I, a half-toned onmyoji who just came up from the countryside, lost my way." While speaking, he turned his neck from time to time to look around, and there was still something in his eyes. It's kind of like a search.

"Edo is such a big place, even if I release all my few shikigami, it's still not enough to find much range. Originally, I wanted to come here for the first time, so I don't have to worry too much, just take it as sightseeing first. After a stroll, I never thought that by the time I came back to my senses, it would be too late, even if I wanted to go to the arena with others, at this time..." Raising his head, Onmyoji looked at the cloudless sky, time It was already past noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the dazzling sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes. "Even if we rush over now, it's already too late. Participants who don't show up on time will be counted as abstentions."

"So that's how it is..." Nodding her head, Xiaoyu expressed her understanding, and at the same time, she also felt a little regretful. It turned out that the other party was not looking for a gorilla...

Lowering his head, the young Onmyoji sighed heavily, the bangs hanging from his forehead blocked his face, hiding all his expressions in the shadows.

"However, it doesn't matter. There are strong players from all over the world in the competition. With my current level, I don't have any hope of winning. I am not in a hurry to do this now. Take a leisurely visit.” When he raised his head again, the gloom on the young man’s face seemed to be swept away, and he gave Xiaoyu a hearty smile. "Then, thank you for your concern, I will continue to walk around and relax." After walking a few steps, he waved to Xiaoyu, who was still standing there, as a farewell, and continued to wander aimlessly between the houses.

Just like before, after taking seemingly idle steps and bypassing a two-story single-family building, the so-called onmyoji felt the silent gaze behind him disappear.

Leaning his back against the wall, Hongo stopped, wanting to take a short rest for his legs that had been walking for a long time without rest. The feeling of soreness, numbness and pain was really uncomfortable. Originally, he could use shikigami as a means of transportation. , but in accordance with the order of his superiors "not to be too conspicuous", he can only endure the hard work reluctantly.

And this superior... He was ordered by the shogunate. The content of the order is to find a dangerous anti-barbarian lurking in Edo, and report his whereabouts immediately if he finds out. After that, what specific actions will be taken? , Whether to withdraw and return or continue to follow, or to try to arrest immediately, is not clearly stated in this regard, and it can also be understood as a free action based on personal judgment.

If one interprets the content of such an order alone, one will not notice anything too unusual. He has performed tasks with similar instructions no less than ten times.

But... There is a problem with the number of people, which makes the whole search incident unusual.

In fact, from an earlier time, Hongo noticed that the number of shikigami operating around Edo suddenly increased, but he did not expect that this was just a prelude.

Today, as the secret investigators, an astonishing number of onmyojis are lurking all over Edo, and the number of shikigami they employ in total is no less than the total number controlled by Yuino Seimei alone.However, relying on the shikigami mastered by Yuino Seimei, he can monitor the dynamics of the entire Edo. Now the same amount of resources are being used just to find one person?

Combined with the shogunate's hastily explained to the target person, this makes people even more suspicious.

Even if the opponent was a character as famous as "White Yasha" during the anti-barbarian period, if he was only a warrior with amazing martial arts, such a sweeping interception seemed a bit too much.

The most likely conclusion is that the shogunate is deliberately concealing something...

But what if even the shogunate is the one to be concealed?Hongo immediately thought of Tiandaozhong.

The shogunate is just a puppet placed in the foreground, unable to control every move by itself, and those twelve geniuses are the people behind the scenes, the real power controllers of the entire Edo.

Only they can give instructions to the shogunate in such a condescending manner, and then hide something in a secretive way.

Concealment... Those who are in such a high position and can give orders to the people of the earth at will, if they want to hide it, most of them want to avoid factors that are not good for them...Trouble, weakness...

To mobilize the masses, but to hide the disadvantages...

The existence of that person will cause trouble, and it is precisely where their weakness is poked!

Thinking of this, Hongo broke into a cold sweat.

In his eyes, the Heavenly Daoists are irreversible evil beasts deeply rooted in the earth, but now, will there be any existence that can shake the "heaven"?

He found it unimaginable.

stop!He told himself that he couldn't think about it any further, and the next thing would be an area that he couldn't easily touch.

Hongo has always thought of himself as a small person, as long as he simply followed orders, even though he was dissatisfied with the celestial beings who always put on a terrific overlooking look from a higher place and always liked to dictate to the earthlings, he still He didn't accept the reality calmly, and became a shogunate, in fact, he could be regarded as a cow and a horse working for heaven and man, no, or a running dog would be more appropriate.

Compared with those shikigami who are enslaved to run around, what is the difference between myself...

Grinning, Hongo smiled self-deprecatingly.

Standing up straight again, facing the reality, he still had to continue his hard-working life as a walking dog. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender figure.

He stared intently, more sure.

With black hair and silver eyes, she was exactly the stunning beauty in the photo provided by the shogunate, "Blood Tuanzi"!

The author has something to say: So, in the end, I was not serious...

72 Involuntary, this is led by the devil, a short puppet journey

After hesitating again and again, Hongo decided to follow.

Subconsciously holding his breath, he poked half of his head out from the corner of the wall. Under his furrowed eyebrows, his eyes fixed on the figure not far away. The seemingly slender woman was walking away, walking at a slow pace. , the elegant gait reveals a kind of leisurely mood, the other party seems to be just an ordinary woman going out for shopping at this time, the kimono on her body fits very well, it is bright water red, even if it is separated by a considerable distance, it still looks Very eye-catching.

Benxiang thought he was a cautious person, but now he had no plans to go back home immediately. When he realized it, he was shocked to find that he had already taken the step of putting himself in danger.

As if involuntarily, his feet got out of his control, step by step, following the unhurried, slow-moving figure in front of him without stopping.

It was the complete opposite of who he usually was, and he realized it.As usual, he, who always puts safety first, must have already embarked on the return journey, and left the rest of the tracking to Shikigami.

So, what is going on with me today?

Hongo couldn't figure it out, but felt an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, which was so strong that it became his only goal now, driving him to act.

That is, we must keep up!Follow up personally...for, for witnessing...

He felt as if he had grasped something in an instant, but the thought was fleeting, and he became a puppet who could only lift his feet mechanically.

It's like being controlled by someone
