The connection between humans and deities cannot last forever; one day, he will completely forget about it.

But in that instant, the dusty memories seemed to be washed away by clean water, and everything was renewed.

The vanished blade, the nameless justice, and the beast clamoring for destruction were all suppressed back into his heart.

After struggling in the abyss of despair for more than ten years, Shan Yunjing suddenly realized...

Perhaps there is warmth in this world.

Asuka gradually got used to the life of an ordinary junior high school student. Although she still occasionally took leave to do some part-time work as an Onmyoji, she no longer took leave for a whole month at a time like before.

As the school bell rang, students dispersed in twos and threes to various activity areas on campus.

As a senior member of the Homecoming Club, Asuka naturally headed towards the school gate.

There were few people and cars in front of the school gate, which made Mingu, who was leaning against a black car and wearing a fisherman's hat, particularly conspicuous.

"Monday?" Asuka asked, puzzled, and jogged towards her childhood friend. "Did something important happen?"

Upon seeing the person he was waiting for, Natori led her to the car, his expression serious: "It's urgent, let's talk in the car."

Once both of them were seated and settled in the car, the car slowly started moving.

"The former head of a prestigious family in Kyoto has been in a coma for three days."

"If she's unconscious, take her to the hospital," Asuka said, confused.

Natori chuckled and poked the forehead of the girl who occasionally lost her connection.

"Initially, we did take him to the hospital, but the doctors couldn't find the cause, and the instruments showed everything was normal."

"Just the day before yesterday, a caretaker was found unconscious beside the former patriarch's bed."

"What did he see?"

Natori's lips curled slightly. "After waking up, the servant said that when he was watching over the house that night, he saw the former clan chief's head separate from his body and fly out of the window."

"Of course, the family members don't believe such nonsense. After all, we live in a materialistic age now, so they stayed in the ward last night."

Asuka burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to, it's all because of this weird sense of humor."

Today's merit -1.

“Stupid Asuka,” Nagori laughed and cursed. “Then they saw it too: the former clan leader’s head detached from his body and flew away as if it had its own consciousness.”

"Wow, that's terrifying," Feiniao said worriedly, having finally regained some conscience. "Were they scared to death?"

"Except for one of the young masters in the family, everyone else was so frightened that they fainted. To make sure it wasn't a hallucination, that young master even reached out to grab Shan Fei's head, but he touched it and failed to grab it."

Asuka: "???" ∑(Дノ)ノ Humans are scarier than ghosts?

“He is indeed a very… courageous child.” Natori paused strangely for a moment. “After the failure, he made arrangements for his family and obtained our contact information from the Toba family.”

"Won't Seiji handle this himself?"

"He's been dealing with the aftermath of that summoning circle lately, and it seems like more than one person has studied that ancient book."

Asuka frowned: "That's really bad."

She casually waved her hand in mid-air, and a faint blue light, invisible to ordinary people, illuminated the area around the car, causing it to accelerate more than twice as fast.

The driver was a member of the Masako family, so naturally he wouldn't find this strange.

"This is a flying head demon, but I don't know if it's a recently born little demon, or..."

Seeing Asuka deep in thought, Natori asked, "Are you worried that someone used a summoning circle to summon it from another era?"

"That's right. The spiritual energy in the world now is actually no longer sufficient to support new monsters with some strength and history like the newly born ones."

Even the great demons gradually disappeared from the sight of the monsters.

"The host of the Flying Head Barbarian will die within seven days. Let's go check on it first."

The seven-hour drive from Tokyo to Kyoto was compressed into just two hours.

Actually, Asuka wanted to teleport there with Natori, but unfortunately, she didn't have any coordinates set in Kyoto.

When they arrived at the gate of a Japanese-style house, it was already past five in the afternoon, which was the time of day when evil spirits and demons were most active.
