Chapter 293 A good tactical silence
The ancestral home of the Tsuchimiya family is located in downtown Tokyo. Against the background of high-rise buildings and surrounded by green trees, the huge mansion stands out and makes countless real estate businessmen drool.
Because of the sudden increase in the number of evil spirits that began three years ago, the private exorcist forces suffered heavy losses, especially the backbone forces, which accounted for the largest proportion of losses.
This situation has directly led to the lack of access to the various forces, the old is old, the young is young, the young and strong are disconnected, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.
Due to the neon government's opportunistic suppression and the lack of abundant local resources, various forces have gradually focused on elitism in the training of the next generation.
To put it simply, apart from the cunning and cunning, the remaining combatants are young girls and boys who are in school.
Liao Wenjie: "..."
It sounds like something is wrong, but when you think about it, it is neon and it is in line with the local characteristics.
The powerful ones are all in high school, while the older ones have lost their halo and either become villains or become passers-by and no longer have the reputation of being geniuses.
All in all, the general environment of the Neon Exorcist Alliance is like this, which can be seen from the empty Tsuchimiya mansion.
More than ten years ago, there were many young and strong apprentices in the mansion, and even the servants who swept the floors were young ladies with long hair.
Now, due to problems such as teachers, the Tu Gong family no longer recruits disciples. There are no apprentices and no young ladies. Obasan has a lot of servants.
On one side is the weak exorcist family alliance, and on the other side is the Neon government's high salary and welfare policies, which also often hold sorority parties to solve the single problem. Anyone with any brains knows how to choose.
As a result, in just three years, the uncompetitive exorcist family has gradually declined, and is on the verge of being eliminated by the times, relying only on its core technology to survive.
Their core technology is the killing stone, the sealed stone, and the spiritual beasts born from the stone.
Abbreviation: rest on your laurels.
As for the Neon Government, although it used huge capital to forcefully squeeze the market, the damage to the overall structure far exceeded innovation. After some integration, there were no high-quality products in the assembly line, and there were as many cannon fodder as possible.
…
Courtyard, verandah, Japanese-style living room.
"This is the current situation of our exorcist family. It is not very optimistic..."
Tumiya Yale resisted exhaustion and answered Liao Wenjie's questions one after another.
Experiencing the pain of tearing his soul apart, he just wanted to fall down and sleep until the end of the world, but he was also afraid that when he woke up, he would not be able to find Liao Wenjie, so he could only chat for half an hour one cup after another.
"I have a few more questions about the killing stone. Why did your dog react so much when I took out the stone?"
"Because Bai Rui itself is the killing stone, its power and soul are constructed from the killing stone. In addition to swallowing evil spirits, the killing stone can also provide it with energy."
Tsuchimiya Gaara drank a cup of tea, took a breath and said, "I don't rule out another possibility. It is the remaining power of the Nine-Tails that is causing trouble. By gathering the killing stones, she can be resurrected and reappear in the world."
"Be more detailed."
Liao Wenjie raised his eyebrows. Obtaining new information seemed to be a very profitable task.
"At the end of the Heian Era, the great demon nine-tailed fox was killed by a master of Onmyodo, and the Killing Stone was born..."
Tsuchimiya Gaara slowly told the reason, because not long after the death of the nine-tailed fox, the demonic power contained in the killing stone was extremely huge, spreading all over the neon place, demonizing a group of beasts.
Known as the second generation of the Nine-tailed Fox, these beasts wreak havoc everywhere, spreading carnage and destruction, spawning an astonishing number of evil spirits.
At that time, the Neon government launched a plan called "Eating Spirits", using the Killing Stone to fight against the Killing Stone, capturing the second-generation nine-tailed fox, sealing it in the human body and enslaving it. The ultimate weapon was inherited from this, and Bai Rui was one of them. one.
"Really, but I remember at the beginning, you said that the dog god was a divine creature. Why did he suddenly become a reincarnated evil spirit?" Liao Wenjie asked shamelessly.
"..."
Tu Gong Ga Le didn't talk, just made tea and drank tea. He looked calm, as if he had seen through the world of mortals and had long since become indifferent to the world.
What a tactical silence!
Liao Wenjie curled his lips and told him his made-up life experience, Kurosaki Ichigo, male, this year... eighteen years old.
There is no other meaning, and it is definitely not deliberately pretending to be young. The purpose of claiming to be eighteen is to better follow the locals and enjoy the aura that is still within the shelf life.
Regarding what happened before he was fifteen years old, due to an accident, he completely forgot about it. He was picked up by a kind-hearted master who was passing by and took him back to the Wulao Peak of Lushan Mountain in China to practice.
Some time ago, the master went crazy while practicing Qigong and told him his life story before he died.
The name was chosen casually and was not rigorous. The only clue was the killing stone. If he wanted to know who he was, he could only follow the killing stone to investigate.
Tsuchimiya Gaara: "..."
Forgive him for not being sympathetic, but this life experience sounds a bit false, there is no evidence, and it is just a refutation at first glance.
Tu Gong Yale didn't speak, and Liao Wenjie didn't speak either. Believe it or not, he just lost his memory.
While the two were silent, there was a knock on the wooden door of the living room, and a man holding a cane opened the door and walked in.
He has one arm and an empty sleeve on his left hand. He is obviously a middle-aged man, but he is very old. His hair and beard are all gray.
Isayama Naraku.
The Tsuchimiya family split, and after the current head of the Isayama family, Tsuchimiya Gaara resigned as the leader of the Exorcist Family Alliance, he took over the relevant positions.
The transfer of power from the clan to the branch, from the left hand to the right, is a standard political method.
After receiving the news about Tsuchimiya Gaara, Isayama Naraku rushed over as quickly as possible, saw Liao Wenjie's face clearly, and was secretly happy. He was indeed a big brother, he was reliable in doing things, and he found him before the Neon Government without saying a word. A powerful man with mysterious origins.
I don’t know what the outcome of the wooing will be, and whether they succeeded in luring the other party into the alliance.
"This is Naraku Isayama, the current leader of the Exorcist Family Alliance. If you still want to ask something about the Killing Stone, he will tell you all the truth."
Tsuchimiya Gaara was overwhelmed and tiredly walked to the corner to lean on: "Naraku, there is something wrong with Bai Rui's seal. I want to have a good rest. I will ask you to receive the guests next."
"What, there's something wrong with Bai Rui's seal again!"
Naraku Isayama looked shocked and asked: "How is the situation? Bai Rui didn't break the seal, did he?"
Tsuchimiya Gaara: "..."
You may not believe it, but Bai Rui has never been so honest.
The truth made people cry. Tsuchimiya Gaara didn't want to talk anymore and fell asleep leaning against the wall with her head tilted. Isayama Naraku opened his mouth and saw that the big brother was exhausted and couldn't bear to disturb him. He suppressed his doubts and sat in front of Liao Wenjie.
"I, Isayama Naraku, would like to ask for your advice."
"Kurosaki Ichigo, uncle Isayama, you're welcome. Seeing that you're very kind, just call me Ichigo."
Liao Wenjie said: "I had a great chat with the uncle of the Tu Gong family just now. I still have a few questions about the killing stone. I hope you can help me answer my questions."
"Please say."
"I wonder if the Exorcist Family Alliance knows anything about the replica of the Killing Stone."
"There are some."
Isayama Naraku frowned and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, in the past two months, victims of Sashimi test products have appeared all over the world. The Neon government cannot bear the pressure, shirks its responsibility and throws the blame. The Exorcist family The alliance was involved for no reason and suffered huge losses."
"Why don't you... I mean, do you have any clues about the replica killing stones, such as the organizations that mass-produce them?" Liao Wenjie asked.
"The investigation is ongoing and there are no clear leads."
Liao Wenjie frowned when he heard the rather official answer, and then said: "If it is a clue, I can provide you with one, because I am weak and unable to follow it. The Exorcist Family Alliance may be able to find out. Something."
"That's great, I'm just worried..."
"Don't worry, you have to promise me a condition first. No matter what you find out along this clue, you must share it truthfully. Otherwise, I can only use my own method to obtain information." At this point, Liao Wenjie touched it The long knife at his side.
"no problem."
"Well, a few days ago, when I was traveling around Izu, I found a guy named Nobuo Tanaka. He is from that organization. There were also two Onmyojis present. The male was named Kobayashi... "
Liao Wenjie explained the situation that night: "Tanaka Nobuo is the reincarnated demon, and the two onmyojis are also involved in the mysterious organization. Because they killed each other, the clues were interrupted."
Are you sure they were killing each other and not being chopped down by you?
It was an insignificant question. Naraku Isayama thought for a while without asking it. Gaara Tsuchimiya, who was leaning on the corner, woke up leisurely: "I don't know who Nobuo Tanaka is, but the names of Onmyoji Kobayashi and Ikuko are traceable. In the end, We will be able to find out the force they belong to tonight."
Being organized and powerful means the efficiency is different.
Liao Wenjie nodded secretly and took out the killing stone from his arms: "There is another question. A few days ago, I was targeted by a white-haired boy who killed a large number of evil spirits who were rioting. This is the killing stone he gave me. He said it was for using The power within it can make any wish come true.”
"You...used it?"
Isayama Naraku's eyelids twitched wildly, and he subconsciously moved back twice, not wanting to get too close to the unsealed killing stone.
As a normal person, he could clearly feel that his inner desires slowly awakened, strongly expressing his desire for the killing stone.
"I've used it, but the effect is average. I don't think there's anything evil about it."
With that said, Liao Wenjie demonstrated it in person, tightening his fingers and clasping the killing stone in his palm, stripping away the power from it bit by bit and using it for his own use.
"..."x2
Not to mention Isayama Naraku who was sweating profusely, Tsuchimiya Gaara who was leaning against the wall instantly lost his sleepiness and jumped up on the spot. Because Bai Rui didn't want to go out, he covered his head and cried out, and sat down with a groan. go back.
"It's incredible. There are no side effects... I mean, under normal circumstances, using an unsealed killing stone will have irreversible consequences."
Isayama Naraku said bitterly, if the side effects weren't so terrible, why wouldn't he want to have both hands intact and find his lost Zuo.
"No at the moment, everything is normal."
Liao Wenjie shrugged. It might have had side effects, because the blood-colored mind power was more evil, so it didn't manifest itself.
He continued: "The key point is that the white-haired boy, who is in his early teens, can use the killing stone to summon evil spirits. And I have tried a few words and found that he knows something about the replica of the killing stone."
Speaking of this, Liao Wenjie paused for a moment, and after the two of them finished digesting the information, he continued: "I have enough reasons to suspect that Nobuo Tanaka is just a cannon fodder member, and the white-haired boy is the elite backbone of the mysterious organization."
It’s unmistakable. The most popular routines here in Neon are Shichibukai and the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness.
