How to break into Abe Seimei [comprehensive]
Chapter 29
Because of the letter sent by Shiba Shizuka, the shikigami's game was also temporarily stopped.Anze tried to contact Takashi Natsume, told him that he no longer needed to contact Natori Monday, and left for the venue mentioned in the letter.
For some reason, the shikigami firmly disagreed with Anze going alone. Even though Anze emphasized that they could be summoned at any time through the shikigami illustrated book, this reason was rejected by everyone.
In the end, because Prajna's form was most similar to that of human beings, and his strength was impressive, he turned into an entity and followed behind Anze.
In the evening, when the devil meets.
On the back of the letter sent by Zhang Jingsi was a map to the meeting place. Anze walked to a forest while facing the guide on the map.
"Is the destination here..." Anze looked at the mark on the map and said with some uncertainty.
"From the map, this is indeed the right place." Banruo leaned over to take a look, "Could it be that the gathering of demon masters was held in the open air?"
"Welcome, guests~"
The sudden sound made Anze and Banruo look for the source of the sound at the same time.
I saw a one-eyed monster wearing a monk's robe and a oiled paper umbrella standing on the lush undergrowth, but it was only about the size of an adult male's palm, and it looked quite cute.
Finding that Anze and Banruo noticed it, it respectfully pointed to the other side with one finger and said, "The entrance is over there, please."
The end point of the map is only in the forest, and only those who can see the monsters can enter the real meeting place, avoiding the possibility of ordinary people picking up the map and mixing in. This method is really good.
"I've been here before." As the one-eyed monster went deep into the forest, Banruo, who had been looking at the environment, suddenly sighed, "In the past, this place was a gathering place for many powerful monsters, but now, just Even the evil spirit has become very weak, it seems that it was wiped out by the demon master."
Anze heard Prajna's words, and felt the yin energy nearby, and it was indeed very weak. "The Chang family built the field here, which is surprisingly ironic."
But it does seem like something the Chang family would do.
"Human beings are the best at doing this kind of thing~" Banruo said with a smile, he was wearing a kimono, and his clogs made a sound of kicking and tapping on the gravel road. "Hee hee, but those monsters have nothing to blame. If you want to blame, you can blame yourself for not being strong enough."
"Ah, ah, are you the guests going to the venue?"
Two monsters wearing ghost masks suddenly emerged from the bushes and walked towards Anze, with a very familiar attitude, "So are we, why don't we go together..."
"Trash." The smile on Banruo's face softened a little, and her tone instantly became gloomy and terrifying, "Squeeze the killing intent on you, Qingming is not your prey!"
Suppressed by his powerful demon power, the two monsters ran away like hell.
The protected Anze silently withdrew the spell condensed on his fingertips, and looked at the sky with a particularly complicated mood.
In fact... He can also deal with n-level monsters by himself.
"The venue is ahead, all guests, please come in~" The one-eyed monster pointed to the front without any reaction to this kind of thing, and said, "The villain will leave first and go to meet other guests."
After all, it hopped and hopped back the same way.
Anze looked forward in the direction he pointed, it was a rather magnificent Japanese-style building, the wooden door opened slowly and automatically when they walked to the door, and the scene inside the house was displayed in the before their eyes.
The entire first floor was designed as a hall, with several wine tables filled with various sumptuous foods.
There are a lot of people gathered in the hall, most of them are wearing kimonos of similar styles, and they also wear various masks on their faces, only their chins are exposed, and they can't even tell who is who at a glance.
When Anze appeared at the venue, he immediately attracted the attention of a large group of people, and then gathered in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.
"Where's the guy in the blue safari?"
"looks young."
"Is the one next to him the monster in the legendary demon-sealing pot?"
"It's so blatant to come to Jichang's party, I really don't take my family seriously."
"It doesn't look like anything."
Being the focus of all attention, everyone's whispered discussions reached their ears, and Anze frowned slightly uncomfortably.
"Why did you come here?" Natori Monday, who also came to the party, also spotted him and walked over here.
"I received an invitation from Zhang Jingsi." An Ze said, shaking the letter in his hand.
Natori did not wear a mask on Monday, but wore his iconic fisherman hat. Hearing what he said, he smiled wryly and said, "You, Abe-kun, really made Shizuji very interested. But I didn't expect that he would I directly invited you over."
"If you are too interested, it will make me feel distressed. It is precisely because of this that I decided to come to see him. I originally asked Natsume-kun to try to contact you to see if I can meet Shizuka , but I received his invitation first." Anze said, "What do you mean by that? It seems like this is some kind of dragon's pool and tiger's lair."
"It seems that a lot of things happened when I didn't know."
After listening to Anze talk about what Chang Jingji did, the wry smile on Natori Zhou Yi's face became more obvious.He felt more and more eyes gathered around him, "Abe-kun, don't you consider changing your clothes? Your hunting clothes... are too obvious."
After all, the young man wearing hunting clothes and claiming to be an Onmyoji has recently become the focus of after-dinner conversations among the demon masters.
Anze didn't know how he could explain to him that this was a bound equipment, so he could only fan the fan pretending to be mysterious, and said with a smile: "I don't think it is necessary for me to disguise myself. What's more, Mr. Natori Aren't you wearing a mask too?"
"Me? A shining existence like me, even a mask can't hide my brilliance." Natori Monday stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses, showing an impeccable smile.
Again, he had never seen such a brazen person!
Anze couldn't be more impressed by Natori Monday's shamelessness!
"What's more, it's useless even if I pretend to be a disguise." Natori Yiyi pointed to the lizard that crawled on his face again, "After all, this is too obvious, I can't control where it will run , can’t let me cover my whole body.”
"That's right." Anze nodded in agreement.
Although there were still many people pointing and pointing at Anze, Anze, who had a thick skin, didn't pay attention to these people. Besides, he didn't come here to meet these people.
"As the owner of the venue, is Ma Shizuji planning to wait until the end to appear?" Natori stood in a relatively remote corner of the venue on Monday, and Anze had never found any trace of Ma Shizuji.
Natori Monday looked at him hesitantly, "Shizuta... I heard that something happened."
"Huh?" Anze raised his eyebrows with interest.
"You've seen him before, right?" Natori Zhou Yi weighed his words before lowering his voice.
When he was young, he had a pretty good relationship with Zhang Jingsi, but later found out that the two were on different paths, so he didn't make further contact, but he still knew some news.
"The ancestor of Shiba Shizuka once signed a contract with a powerful monster. The monster lent his power to the field clan, and the field clan needs to give their right eye to the monster as a price." Natori Monday Said slowly.
Anze knows this contract method, although it sounds cruel, but the price is already very light.
Just imagining the empty eye sockets under the blindfold, Anze still couldn't help but feel a little cold: "So, under his blindfold..."
"It's not." Natori shook his head mysteriously, "I don't know what he did, although there is a spell on his face, but...his right eye is still there, there is no doubt about it."
"By violating the contract with the monster, he can still live unscathed. That despicable human must have done something." Banruo said sarcastically.
"I don't know exactly what he did." Natori Monday's mocking of Hannya didn't show anything. In the eyes of monsters, breaking the contract is indeed a very serious matter. "But... as you can guess, that monster didn't let him go.
"I don't know the specific situation, but every once in a while, the Chang family will be attacked by monsters...it must be the right eye that the monster came to look for, promised by the owner of the Chang family."
"You mean, the reason why Shiba Jingji hasn't appeared yet is because of that monster?" According to Natori Monday's words, Anze said naturally.
"I'm just talking." Natori Yiyi, who was gossiping just now, suddenly stopped the topic, smiling innocently, "As for why Shizuka was late, how would I know?"
Anze glanced at him speechlessly.I don't know if anyone told Natori Monday that talking like this is easy to get beaten?
Knowing that Natori Monday didn't want to continue talking, Anze didn't say anything more.
Although he was invited to come here, he didn't have any intention of confronting Zhang Jingsi head-on - as long as he didn't bother him again, Anze would just get by.
"I still have my own things to do, so I'll take my leave first." The two chatted a few more gossips, Natori said to Anze when he saw someone on Monday.
"Go to work, I'm bothering you."
Until Anze got a little impatient waiting here, two people slowly came down from upstairs.
Walking in front was Jingji Ma, who was wearing a black kimono. His posture was haughty and awe-inspiring, and his whole body was enveloped in a superior aura.Behind him was a gray-haired woman. Anze guessed that it was probably the secretary of the Chang family that Natori Zhou had mentioned, Ms. Nanase.
And it was his right eye that caught Anze's attention - the last time I saw him on the road, there was a magic spell on his right eye, but now it was replaced by a piece of white gauze.
Although it was not obvious under the cover of long hair, Anze subconsciously looked at his face at first glance after Natori Monday's gossip, and naturally discovered this.
Could it be that he was really attacked by that monster?
"It's an annoying smell." Banruo said softly behind Anze. "There is a very terrifying evil spirit left on that man's body."
Since Banruo said so, it seems that it is a very tricky monster, but it is normal to think about it. After all, it is a part of the body as the price. With such a price as a contract, it is naturally a very powerful monster that can be used.
Zhang Jingsi came down from the upstairs, and almost all the people in the venue surrounded him, greeting something in a hurry, and the young master of the legendary demon exorcising master didn't look so high at the moment, his face With just the right smile on his face, he responded to everyone with ease.
Seeing this posture, Anze knew that it was too early for him to wait. When the Zhang Jingsi's wrangling ended one by one, he didn't know when it would be.
Just when Anze was thinking this way, Ms. Nanase suddenly walked straight towards him, with a polite smile on her face, and said hello: "Abe-kun."
Anze could not show a contemptuous attitude towards elders, he smiled and nodded, "Hello, Ms. Nanase."
"This is the first time we have met, but I have heard about your deeds from the young master before." Ms. Nanase said.Then her gaze passed Anze and stayed on Banruo, "Is this the monster that was once sealed? It is indeed very powerful. The Chang family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but they couldn't find the demon sealing pot, but it was you Found it, maybe this is the fate in the legend."
"I'm not interested in your kind of family at all~" Banruo smiled sweetly, just from the appearance, he couldn't even tell that he was a powerful monster, just an ordinary boy. "However, a place like this full of dark side emotions and yin qi is very suitable as my food."
"Hanruo!" Anze softly called Hannya's name.On someone else's territory, it's a bit too bragging to say such a thing.
Prajna is a monster produced by evil thoughts, whether it is a human being or a monster, the evil thoughts produced by monsters can be his food.
Anze was worried that he would do something like the campus incident again in the future, but Banruo told him frankly that even if he didn't deliberately create it, all kinds of malice generated by ordinary human society are enough for him to maintain his own strength .
"Qingming is so fierce~ I don't want to say anything." Banruo stuck out her tongue at Anze childishly and said.
Seeing such a mischievous Banruo, Anze felt like he had an extra brother. He smiled and reached out to touch Banruo's head, "Good boy."
"En!" Banruo nodded obediently, and made a gesture of shutting up.
Seimei is indeed a very gentle human being, even if he likes the maliciousness of human beings, he will be attracted to him unconsciously.
But Onmyoji himself doesn't seem to be aware of his attraction to youkai...
Thinking of the scene he saw in the courtyard in the afternoon, a gleam of light flashed in Banruo's eyes.
If you want to monopolize Seimei, he won't allow it.
"The relationship between Abe-kun and Shikigami is very special." Ms. Nanase seemed very surprised by Anzawa's attitude, and continued after a while.
"Not everyone will regard shikigami as a tool that can be discarded at any time." Thinking of Yu's matter, Anze sarcastically.
"Ah, it seems that Abe-kun feels conflicted by the Chang family's style of work." Ms. Nanase laughed, facing Anze's accusation, she did not show any displeasure, and said with a normal face.After all, she pointed in the direction of Chang Jingsi, "My young master seems to have to delay some time, the necessary entertainment is inevitable, thank you Mr. Abe for waiting for a long time, so the young master specially sent me here Inviting Abe-kun, I wonder if Abe-kun is interested in going to the living room to rest for a while?"
Hearing what she said, Anze nodded smoothly, "Okay, then it's troublesome."
Under the leadership of Ms. Nanase, Anze and Banruo came to the elegantly furnished living room.
The black shadow shikigami with a mask brought up tea sets and other items, placed them respectfully on the table, and then quietly backed away.
"The hospitality is not good, please forgive Abe-kun." Ms. Nanase poured a cup of tea for Anze.
"Thank you."
The two of them were not familiar with each other at all, so naturally there was nothing to talk about, and the living room fell into a brief silence.
"I don't know how much Abe-kun knows about the Chang family?" Ms. Nanase first broke the silence and asked.
"Why do you ask that?" An Ze was not surprised by her sudden question.
The person who invited him was Zhang Jingsi, even if he didn't come to the venue in time because of some delays, if he really treated each other with courtesy, he wouldn't let Anze stand alone for so long.
When Ms. Nanase came to him, she said that Shiba Shizuka had "specially" invited him, and what the two did and said seemed to be in conflict.
The matter of arranging him to come to the living room should be Ms. Nanase's own idea, not that of Shiba Jingji.Anze easily came to this conclusion.
But he didn't reject Ms. Nanase's proposal, because he was really curious about what Ms. Nanase wanted to tell him alone.
"Abe-kun is a smart man." Ms. Nanase laughed.She glanced in the direction of the hall, and Chang Jingsi was still surrounded by the crowd, and it seemed that it would take a long time to get out. "Abe-kun has heard of the deal between the family and the youkai, right?"
"Indeed, I've heard a little bit about it. Is there anything I can help you with on this matter?"
Nanase is going to make trouble behind Shizuka's back...
Anze pretended to be aggressive and opened the fan and fanned it.I just don't know if what I'm going to do is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Since Abe-kun has made it so clear, then I won't go around in circles." Ms. Nanase is very satisfied with Anze's straightforward attitude, "Although I slightly offended Abe-kun before, I am still shy about this matter. Said it with this face."
As she was speaking, because the topic involved was too heavy, her eyes were also somewhat depressed, "The ancestors of the field signed a contract with a powerful monster at the cost of their right eye, but later, many patriarchs did not Willing to give the right eye to the monster, the young master... is even more so. A few years ago, when the monster came to ask for the eye, the young master tricked the monster away and kept his right eye, but this method is not enough. It cannot be effective every time. The monsters who came to beg for the eyes did not get the price many times, and became more and more irritable, and the frequency of their visits has become more and more frequent recently."
"His eyes are wrapped with gauze, is that really the reason?" An Ze said.
"Exactly." Ms. Nanase smiled wryly.The Chang family she stayed in when she was young can be said to have grown up watching Chang Jingsi.So I am very worried about the situation of Chang Jingsi. "The monster finally hurt the young master this time. Although he was repelled by the young master, it has tasted the sweetness and will naturally attack the young master again..."
She looked up at Anze, and said: "When I have said this, Mr. Abe must know what I mean. I also ask Mr. Abe to help the young master regardless of the past. After the matter is completed, the family will be grateful... ..."
"Is that what you mean, or what Zhang Jingsi meant?" An Ze asked unhurriedly.
Ms. Nanase was stunned for a moment, then said in a daze, "Of course I mean it."
"Then forgive me for refusing Ms. Nanase's request." Anze pushed the unmoving teacup away from his face, and said with a smile, "As the client, Jingji Chang doesn't seem to need my help." , Ms. Nanase, why bother to make such an unnecessary move?"
What's more, there is still no explanation for Zhang Jingsi's putting things on him. This requires him to help fight against a powerful monster regardless of the previous suspicions. Does she think she is sick of the holy father?
Ms. Nanase didn't seem to expect that Anze would say that, and she didn't know what to say for a while.After a while, she smiled wryly and sighed helplessly, "I'm the one who was arrogant."
Anze smiled and said nothing.
"Then please take a break, Abe-kun. Just pretend you haven't heard of what happened just now." Ms. Nanase said in a decent manner without forcing her to touch a soft nail.
"That's natural."
The back of Ms. Nanase walked slowly, Anze relaxed the hand holding the folding fan a little, and exhaled slightly.
There shouldn't be anything inappropriate about his reaction just now, right?Since time travel, it is the first time to speak so seriously.
"Qingming is really cunning." Banruo said with a smile after taking a sip of the tea on the table.
"Why am I so cunning?" An Ze tapped Banruo's head lightly with a fan, and said with a smile.
"Obviously Qingming is very interested in that monster, isn't he? The people in the field definitely have no power to use, so this party was held as a last resort, and it is estimated that it will soon reach a difficult point." Prajna's thoughts on human beings I understand it very well, and it is easy to analyze the meaning behind Ms. Nanase's behavior, "Seimei declined on the surface, but if there is really nothing to do, then the one who will come forward will be Shiba himself."
"This kind of face-slapping behavior without any trace, Qingming, you really have a bit of a bad taste."
Anze smiled and did not deny Banjna's conclusion.
No way, he saw Zhang Jingsi's attitude, which was very, very unpleasant, smiling.
After staying in the living room for a while, Anze finally met Chang Jingsi, a busy man.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Onmyoji... Seimei." Zhang Jingsi had a meaningful smile on his face, "My next Zhang Jingsi, I think you already know."
"When we met for the first time, I didn't recognize the well-known Young Master Chang. I'm really sorry." An Ze replied lukewarmly.His eyes stayed on the gauze on Chang Jingsi's face for a few seconds, and then quickly turned away without making a trace, "Let me wait here alone for so long, I don't know, Young Master Chang, you What can I do for you?"
"I heard that you rescued a monster two days ago?" Chang Jingsi asked naturally, as if he didn't hear Anze's cynicism at all.
Anze didn't speak, waiting to see what he would say next.
Before Ms. Nanase came to talk to him, Anze might still think that Jingji Chang was very imposing, but after he was betrayed by pig teammates, to put it exaggeratedly, the Jingji Chang in Anze's heart was almost the same as Empty airs, nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that Anze did not speak, and seeing that it was Ms. Nanase who brought Anze here, Chang Jingsi immediately realized what happened.
He was usually decisive and unquestionable in his actions, but he did not expect Nanase to do this.
However, he did not show weakness as Anze expected, just smiled, sat down opposite Anze, and said with great interest: "Do you think I have reached the point where I can't do anything? Look around The whereabouts of the demon-sealing pot that seals the powerful youkai, using weak and useless shikigami as bait to tame the youkai...even the gathering of demon masters is held to ask for help?"
"..." Anze was completely overwhelmed.
"But it's normal for you to have such thoughts." As if seeing Anze's embarrassment, Chang Jingsi smiled, as if everything was within his expectations. "After all, I never thought that Ms. Nanase, who has been by my side for so many years, has no confidence in me, or in the owner of the Chang family."
Anze, who was handsome for only three seconds, couldn't help but want to grab the ground with his head.
Make yourself smart!Make you proud!It’s okay now, the face hurts so much qaq
"It would be great if we could get more powerful monsters to help us. If not..." Jing Si's words came to an end.
"Then why did you invite me to this party? ... and this thing, the young master of the field, won't you forget it?" Seen through, Anze didn't beat around the bush, he took it out of his arms A fragment of a white mask was placed on the table, and he asked straight to the point.
"What is this? I really don't know." Zhang Jingsi said without changing his expression.
I didn't expect you to be such a person!As brazen as Natori Monday, I'll go!The evidence is all in front of you, but you still say that you don't know anything, Anze almost knelt down to Zhang Jingsi.
Completely unaware of Anze's inner roar, Shiba Jingji continued: "As for why I invited you to this party...it's just an act of making friends with a powerful colleague who suddenly appeared. I don't know if Mr. Abe has The Chang family not interested in joining? The Chang family is the largest demon-eliminating family..."
Before Zhang Jingsi's Anli continued to speak out, Anze said bluntly: "Thank you, Mr. Chang, for your kindness, but I have no intention to join."
At this point, Anze felt that there was nothing more to say to him, anyway, the other party had already insisted that he didn't know anything, what else could he do?
"Then I'll take my leave." Anze said.
"It's really regrettable." Hearing what he said, Zhang Jingsi said, but there was no regret on his face.
Anze, who was in a depressed mood, got up and was about to leave.
"...has a demonic aura." Banruo said suddenly.
"Ok?"
"A monster is coming here, it is a very powerful monster." Banruo said seriously.
The field Jingsi's face also became a lot more serious.He reached out and touched the position of his right eye, turned around and left neatly, "Mr. Abe, please do what you want, I won't see you off."
Is it the monster who signed a contract with the field in the legend...
An Ze was very curious about that monster, and his thoughts of leaving became much weaker.But Banruo didn't seem to think that staying here was the right decision. He felt the powerful monster power that was getting closer and closer, and said to Anze: "Qingming, let's leave here, that monster... even I wouldn't dare Head on."
Even Hannya at the sr level thinks so, could it be... that monster is at the ssr level?
Although Anze yearned for SSR very much, he didn't think he could fight monsters of this level, so he didn't say much, nodded, and walked towards the exit with Prajna.
The people in the venue didn't seem to feel the evil spirit that Banruo said, and they all gathered in the hall. Presumably, Jingji Chang didn't inform them of the news in order not to cause too much panic.
Should he tell these people to go out together... Anze hesitated.
The people invited by Zhang Jingsi are estimated to be very capable. As the host, Zhang Jingsi didn't say a word. Even if he said something to a stranger who didn't know anything, no one would believe it.
But when Anze reached the door, Banruo suddenly reached out to hold him, and opened the door slightly like the wind.
At the same time, the solemn and thick wooden door creaked heavily, and then was blown open by the hurricane with a bang!
"Eyes...give me back your eyes..." A scalp-numbing voice resounded from the night and the sky, and the majestic and powerful demonic aura was like a huge wave swept by the wind, mercilessly Pounced towards the hall!
"There are monsters!" After a short silence, all the demon masters present immediately exploded!
"Give me back your eyes...!" Surrounded by the whistling wind, a monster in human form walked into the hall step by step.
"Congratulations to the player for discovering the hidden ssr-level Shikigami Yimulian. The system prompts that the player's current strength is too far behind him, and it is not recommended to accept it."
The sound of the system suddenly sounded.
After receiving this reminder, Anze couldn't help sighing that this game really has SSR, even if it is a shikigami that he didn't know before time travel.
Then he was hit by the system's judgment result, and his face was a little ugly.
Obviously there has been a lot of progress, but in comparison, this kind of progress is too small.
He has to work harder.
He patted Banruo's hand to signal him not to be too nervous, and then looked at Yimulian carefully.
Like Hannya, Yimulian is also wearing a kimono with a haori on the outside.He had very, very long bangs on his forehead, which almost completely covered the right half of his face, and the exposed left eye was as dark as night, filled with dark and distorted emotions.He scanned the surroundings with this eye, as if he was looking for the trace of Ma Jingji.
"Give me back my—eyes..." He seemed to only remember saying this sentence, and kept repeating it in a hoarse and distorted voice.
"It's the monster who signed a contract with your field family!"
Someone in the crowd yelled, "Where is Dechang Jingsi? As the head of the family, he violated the contract with the monster, and the monster is here for revenge!!"
"Where did he go! Could it be that we should help get rid of this monster!"
"I don't want to go up to die, what does it have to do with me!"
All kinds of arguments and cursing in the crowd almost brought the roof off.
"It's such a delicious emotion..." With an intoxicated expression on Hanruo's face, he took a deep breath and said, "Qingming, this monster is too strong, it's better to leave as soon as possible while it's unconscious .”
Before Banruo could finish his sentence, Yimu and the aura around him, who had not found the trace of Chang Jingsi, began to become more terrifying.
"The field... the eyes..." A strong wind began to blow around him, and the long tables placed in the venue were all swept up by the wind and fell together in tatters.
"Ah! Don't eat me..." Someone in the crowd finally let out a miserable cry.
Yimulian seemed to be completely inspired by the man's crying, and the broken table and chair rose out of thin air again, and smashed towards the crowd! "Give me back my eyes!!!"
Everyone seemed to be stunned by this reaction, seeing that things were about to be smashed down, they jumped up.
... What about the demeanor of the exorcising demon masters, are you really okay with this?
Anze's setting of being a high-ranking exorcist has been completely overthrown to the point where there is nothing left.
His crispy skin doesn't have weak legs yet, are you trying to be cute? !
"Yimulian—I'm here!" At this moment, Zhang Jingsi's voice came from outside the house!
For some reason, the shikigami firmly disagreed with Anze going alone. Even though Anze emphasized that they could be summoned at any time through the shikigami illustrated book, this reason was rejected by everyone.
In the end, because Prajna's form was most similar to that of human beings, and his strength was impressive, he turned into an entity and followed behind Anze.
In the evening, when the devil meets.
On the back of the letter sent by Zhang Jingsi was a map to the meeting place. Anze walked to a forest while facing the guide on the map.
"Is the destination here..." Anze looked at the mark on the map and said with some uncertainty.
"From the map, this is indeed the right place." Banruo leaned over to take a look, "Could it be that the gathering of demon masters was held in the open air?"
"Welcome, guests~"
The sudden sound made Anze and Banruo look for the source of the sound at the same time.
I saw a one-eyed monster wearing a monk's robe and a oiled paper umbrella standing on the lush undergrowth, but it was only about the size of an adult male's palm, and it looked quite cute.
Finding that Anze and Banruo noticed it, it respectfully pointed to the other side with one finger and said, "The entrance is over there, please."
The end point of the map is only in the forest, and only those who can see the monsters can enter the real meeting place, avoiding the possibility of ordinary people picking up the map and mixing in. This method is really good.
"I've been here before." As the one-eyed monster went deep into the forest, Banruo, who had been looking at the environment, suddenly sighed, "In the past, this place was a gathering place for many powerful monsters, but now, just Even the evil spirit has become very weak, it seems that it was wiped out by the demon master."
Anze heard Prajna's words, and felt the yin energy nearby, and it was indeed very weak. "The Chang family built the field here, which is surprisingly ironic."
But it does seem like something the Chang family would do.
"Human beings are the best at doing this kind of thing~" Banruo said with a smile, he was wearing a kimono, and his clogs made a sound of kicking and tapping on the gravel road. "Hee hee, but those monsters have nothing to blame. If you want to blame, you can blame yourself for not being strong enough."
"Ah, ah, are you the guests going to the venue?"
Two monsters wearing ghost masks suddenly emerged from the bushes and walked towards Anze, with a very familiar attitude, "So are we, why don't we go together..."
"Trash." The smile on Banruo's face softened a little, and her tone instantly became gloomy and terrifying, "Squeeze the killing intent on you, Qingming is not your prey!"
Suppressed by his powerful demon power, the two monsters ran away like hell.
The protected Anze silently withdrew the spell condensed on his fingertips, and looked at the sky with a particularly complicated mood.
In fact... He can also deal with n-level monsters by himself.
"The venue is ahead, all guests, please come in~" The one-eyed monster pointed to the front without any reaction to this kind of thing, and said, "The villain will leave first and go to meet other guests."
After all, it hopped and hopped back the same way.
Anze looked forward in the direction he pointed, it was a rather magnificent Japanese-style building, the wooden door opened slowly and automatically when they walked to the door, and the scene inside the house was displayed in the before their eyes.
The entire first floor was designed as a hall, with several wine tables filled with various sumptuous foods.
There are a lot of people gathered in the hall, most of them are wearing kimonos of similar styles, and they also wear various masks on their faces, only their chins are exposed, and they can't even tell who is who at a glance.
When Anze appeared at the venue, he immediately attracted the attention of a large group of people, and then gathered in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.
"Where's the guy in the blue safari?"
"looks young."
"Is the one next to him the monster in the legendary demon-sealing pot?"
"It's so blatant to come to Jichang's party, I really don't take my family seriously."
"It doesn't look like anything."
Being the focus of all attention, everyone's whispered discussions reached their ears, and Anze frowned slightly uncomfortably.
"Why did you come here?" Natori Monday, who also came to the party, also spotted him and walked over here.
"I received an invitation from Zhang Jingsi." An Ze said, shaking the letter in his hand.
Natori did not wear a mask on Monday, but wore his iconic fisherman hat. Hearing what he said, he smiled wryly and said, "You, Abe-kun, really made Shizuji very interested. But I didn't expect that he would I directly invited you over."
"If you are too interested, it will make me feel distressed. It is precisely because of this that I decided to come to see him. I originally asked Natsume-kun to try to contact you to see if I can meet Shizuka , but I received his invitation first." Anze said, "What do you mean by that? It seems like this is some kind of dragon's pool and tiger's lair."
"It seems that a lot of things happened when I didn't know."
After listening to Anze talk about what Chang Jingji did, the wry smile on Natori Zhou Yi's face became more obvious.He felt more and more eyes gathered around him, "Abe-kun, don't you consider changing your clothes? Your hunting clothes... are too obvious."
After all, the young man wearing hunting clothes and claiming to be an Onmyoji has recently become the focus of after-dinner conversations among the demon masters.
Anze didn't know how he could explain to him that this was a bound equipment, so he could only fan the fan pretending to be mysterious, and said with a smile: "I don't think it is necessary for me to disguise myself. What's more, Mr. Natori Aren't you wearing a mask too?"
"Me? A shining existence like me, even a mask can't hide my brilliance." Natori Monday stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses, showing an impeccable smile.
Again, he had never seen such a brazen person!
Anze couldn't be more impressed by Natori Monday's shamelessness!
"What's more, it's useless even if I pretend to be a disguise." Natori Yiyi pointed to the lizard that crawled on his face again, "After all, this is too obvious, I can't control where it will run , can’t let me cover my whole body.”
"That's right." Anze nodded in agreement.
Although there were still many people pointing and pointing at Anze, Anze, who had a thick skin, didn't pay attention to these people. Besides, he didn't come here to meet these people.
"As the owner of the venue, is Ma Shizuji planning to wait until the end to appear?" Natori stood in a relatively remote corner of the venue on Monday, and Anze had never found any trace of Ma Shizuji.
Natori Monday looked at him hesitantly, "Shizuta... I heard that something happened."
"Huh?" Anze raised his eyebrows with interest.
"You've seen him before, right?" Natori Zhou Yi weighed his words before lowering his voice.
When he was young, he had a pretty good relationship with Zhang Jingsi, but later found out that the two were on different paths, so he didn't make further contact, but he still knew some news.
"The ancestor of Shiba Shizuka once signed a contract with a powerful monster. The monster lent his power to the field clan, and the field clan needs to give their right eye to the monster as a price." Natori Monday Said slowly.
Anze knows this contract method, although it sounds cruel, but the price is already very light.
Just imagining the empty eye sockets under the blindfold, Anze still couldn't help but feel a little cold: "So, under his blindfold..."
"It's not." Natori shook his head mysteriously, "I don't know what he did, although there is a spell on his face, but...his right eye is still there, there is no doubt about it."
"By violating the contract with the monster, he can still live unscathed. That despicable human must have done something." Banruo said sarcastically.
"I don't know exactly what he did." Natori Monday's mocking of Hannya didn't show anything. In the eyes of monsters, breaking the contract is indeed a very serious matter. "But... as you can guess, that monster didn't let him go.
"I don't know the specific situation, but every once in a while, the Chang family will be attacked by monsters...it must be the right eye that the monster came to look for, promised by the owner of the Chang family."
"You mean, the reason why Shiba Jingji hasn't appeared yet is because of that monster?" According to Natori Monday's words, Anze said naturally.
"I'm just talking." Natori Yiyi, who was gossiping just now, suddenly stopped the topic, smiling innocently, "As for why Shizuka was late, how would I know?"
Anze glanced at him speechlessly.I don't know if anyone told Natori Monday that talking like this is easy to get beaten?
Knowing that Natori Monday didn't want to continue talking, Anze didn't say anything more.
Although he was invited to come here, he didn't have any intention of confronting Zhang Jingsi head-on - as long as he didn't bother him again, Anze would just get by.
"I still have my own things to do, so I'll take my leave first." The two chatted a few more gossips, Natori said to Anze when he saw someone on Monday.
"Go to work, I'm bothering you."
Until Anze got a little impatient waiting here, two people slowly came down from upstairs.
Walking in front was Jingji Ma, who was wearing a black kimono. His posture was haughty and awe-inspiring, and his whole body was enveloped in a superior aura.Behind him was a gray-haired woman. Anze guessed that it was probably the secretary of the Chang family that Natori Zhou had mentioned, Ms. Nanase.
And it was his right eye that caught Anze's attention - the last time I saw him on the road, there was a magic spell on his right eye, but now it was replaced by a piece of white gauze.
Although it was not obvious under the cover of long hair, Anze subconsciously looked at his face at first glance after Natori Monday's gossip, and naturally discovered this.
Could it be that he was really attacked by that monster?
"It's an annoying smell." Banruo said softly behind Anze. "There is a very terrifying evil spirit left on that man's body."
Since Banruo said so, it seems that it is a very tricky monster, but it is normal to think about it. After all, it is a part of the body as the price. With such a price as a contract, it is naturally a very powerful monster that can be used.
Zhang Jingsi came down from the upstairs, and almost all the people in the venue surrounded him, greeting something in a hurry, and the young master of the legendary demon exorcising master didn't look so high at the moment, his face With just the right smile on his face, he responded to everyone with ease.
Seeing this posture, Anze knew that it was too early for him to wait. When the Zhang Jingsi's wrangling ended one by one, he didn't know when it would be.
Just when Anze was thinking this way, Ms. Nanase suddenly walked straight towards him, with a polite smile on her face, and said hello: "Abe-kun."
Anze could not show a contemptuous attitude towards elders, he smiled and nodded, "Hello, Ms. Nanase."
"This is the first time we have met, but I have heard about your deeds from the young master before." Ms. Nanase said.Then her gaze passed Anze and stayed on Banruo, "Is this the monster that was once sealed? It is indeed very powerful. The Chang family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but they couldn't find the demon sealing pot, but it was you Found it, maybe this is the fate in the legend."
"I'm not interested in your kind of family at all~" Banruo smiled sweetly, just from the appearance, he couldn't even tell that he was a powerful monster, just an ordinary boy. "However, a place like this full of dark side emotions and yin qi is very suitable as my food."
"Hanruo!" Anze softly called Hannya's name.On someone else's territory, it's a bit too bragging to say such a thing.
Prajna is a monster produced by evil thoughts, whether it is a human being or a monster, the evil thoughts produced by monsters can be his food.
Anze was worried that he would do something like the campus incident again in the future, but Banruo told him frankly that even if he didn't deliberately create it, all kinds of malice generated by ordinary human society are enough for him to maintain his own strength .
"Qingming is so fierce~ I don't want to say anything." Banruo stuck out her tongue at Anze childishly and said.
Seeing such a mischievous Banruo, Anze felt like he had an extra brother. He smiled and reached out to touch Banruo's head, "Good boy."
"En!" Banruo nodded obediently, and made a gesture of shutting up.
Seimei is indeed a very gentle human being, even if he likes the maliciousness of human beings, he will be attracted to him unconsciously.
But Onmyoji himself doesn't seem to be aware of his attraction to youkai...
Thinking of the scene he saw in the courtyard in the afternoon, a gleam of light flashed in Banruo's eyes.
If you want to monopolize Seimei, he won't allow it.
"The relationship between Abe-kun and Shikigami is very special." Ms. Nanase seemed very surprised by Anzawa's attitude, and continued after a while.
"Not everyone will regard shikigami as a tool that can be discarded at any time." Thinking of Yu's matter, Anze sarcastically.
"Ah, it seems that Abe-kun feels conflicted by the Chang family's style of work." Ms. Nanase laughed, facing Anze's accusation, she did not show any displeasure, and said with a normal face.After all, she pointed in the direction of Chang Jingsi, "My young master seems to have to delay some time, the necessary entertainment is inevitable, thank you Mr. Abe for waiting for a long time, so the young master specially sent me here Inviting Abe-kun, I wonder if Abe-kun is interested in going to the living room to rest for a while?"
Hearing what she said, Anze nodded smoothly, "Okay, then it's troublesome."
Under the leadership of Ms. Nanase, Anze and Banruo came to the elegantly furnished living room.
The black shadow shikigami with a mask brought up tea sets and other items, placed them respectfully on the table, and then quietly backed away.
"The hospitality is not good, please forgive Abe-kun." Ms. Nanase poured a cup of tea for Anze.
"Thank you."
The two of them were not familiar with each other at all, so naturally there was nothing to talk about, and the living room fell into a brief silence.
"I don't know how much Abe-kun knows about the Chang family?" Ms. Nanase first broke the silence and asked.
"Why do you ask that?" An Ze was not surprised by her sudden question.
The person who invited him was Zhang Jingsi, even if he didn't come to the venue in time because of some delays, if he really treated each other with courtesy, he wouldn't let Anze stand alone for so long.
When Ms. Nanase came to him, she said that Shiba Shizuka had "specially" invited him, and what the two did and said seemed to be in conflict.
The matter of arranging him to come to the living room should be Ms. Nanase's own idea, not that of Shiba Jingji.Anze easily came to this conclusion.
But he didn't reject Ms. Nanase's proposal, because he was really curious about what Ms. Nanase wanted to tell him alone.
"Abe-kun is a smart man." Ms. Nanase laughed.She glanced in the direction of the hall, and Chang Jingsi was still surrounded by the crowd, and it seemed that it would take a long time to get out. "Abe-kun has heard of the deal between the family and the youkai, right?"
"Indeed, I've heard a little bit about it. Is there anything I can help you with on this matter?"
Nanase is going to make trouble behind Shizuka's back...
Anze pretended to be aggressive and opened the fan and fanned it.I just don't know if what I'm going to do is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Since Abe-kun has made it so clear, then I won't go around in circles." Ms. Nanase is very satisfied with Anze's straightforward attitude, "Although I slightly offended Abe-kun before, I am still shy about this matter. Said it with this face."
As she was speaking, because the topic involved was too heavy, her eyes were also somewhat depressed, "The ancestors of the field signed a contract with a powerful monster at the cost of their right eye, but later, many patriarchs did not Willing to give the right eye to the monster, the young master... is even more so. A few years ago, when the monster came to ask for the eye, the young master tricked the monster away and kept his right eye, but this method is not enough. It cannot be effective every time. The monsters who came to beg for the eyes did not get the price many times, and became more and more irritable, and the frequency of their visits has become more and more frequent recently."
"His eyes are wrapped with gauze, is that really the reason?" An Ze said.
"Exactly." Ms. Nanase smiled wryly.The Chang family she stayed in when she was young can be said to have grown up watching Chang Jingsi.So I am very worried about the situation of Chang Jingsi. "The monster finally hurt the young master this time. Although he was repelled by the young master, it has tasted the sweetness and will naturally attack the young master again..."
She looked up at Anze, and said: "When I have said this, Mr. Abe must know what I mean. I also ask Mr. Abe to help the young master regardless of the past. After the matter is completed, the family will be grateful... ..."
"Is that what you mean, or what Zhang Jingsi meant?" An Ze asked unhurriedly.
Ms. Nanase was stunned for a moment, then said in a daze, "Of course I mean it."
"Then forgive me for refusing Ms. Nanase's request." Anze pushed the unmoving teacup away from his face, and said with a smile, "As the client, Jingji Chang doesn't seem to need my help." , Ms. Nanase, why bother to make such an unnecessary move?"
What's more, there is still no explanation for Zhang Jingsi's putting things on him. This requires him to help fight against a powerful monster regardless of the previous suspicions. Does she think she is sick of the holy father?
Ms. Nanase didn't seem to expect that Anze would say that, and she didn't know what to say for a while.After a while, she smiled wryly and sighed helplessly, "I'm the one who was arrogant."
Anze smiled and said nothing.
"Then please take a break, Abe-kun. Just pretend you haven't heard of what happened just now." Ms. Nanase said in a decent manner without forcing her to touch a soft nail.
"That's natural."
The back of Ms. Nanase walked slowly, Anze relaxed the hand holding the folding fan a little, and exhaled slightly.
There shouldn't be anything inappropriate about his reaction just now, right?Since time travel, it is the first time to speak so seriously.
"Qingming is really cunning." Banruo said with a smile after taking a sip of the tea on the table.
"Why am I so cunning?" An Ze tapped Banruo's head lightly with a fan, and said with a smile.
"Obviously Qingming is very interested in that monster, isn't he? The people in the field definitely have no power to use, so this party was held as a last resort, and it is estimated that it will soon reach a difficult point." Prajna's thoughts on human beings I understand it very well, and it is easy to analyze the meaning behind Ms. Nanase's behavior, "Seimei declined on the surface, but if there is really nothing to do, then the one who will come forward will be Shiba himself."
"This kind of face-slapping behavior without any trace, Qingming, you really have a bit of a bad taste."
Anze smiled and did not deny Banjna's conclusion.
No way, he saw Zhang Jingsi's attitude, which was very, very unpleasant, smiling.
After staying in the living room for a while, Anze finally met Chang Jingsi, a busy man.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Onmyoji... Seimei." Zhang Jingsi had a meaningful smile on his face, "My next Zhang Jingsi, I think you already know."
"When we met for the first time, I didn't recognize the well-known Young Master Chang. I'm really sorry." An Ze replied lukewarmly.His eyes stayed on the gauze on Chang Jingsi's face for a few seconds, and then quickly turned away without making a trace, "Let me wait here alone for so long, I don't know, Young Master Chang, you What can I do for you?"
"I heard that you rescued a monster two days ago?" Chang Jingsi asked naturally, as if he didn't hear Anze's cynicism at all.
Anze didn't speak, waiting to see what he would say next.
Before Ms. Nanase came to talk to him, Anze might still think that Jingji Chang was very imposing, but after he was betrayed by pig teammates, to put it exaggeratedly, the Jingji Chang in Anze's heart was almost the same as Empty airs, nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that Anze did not speak, and seeing that it was Ms. Nanase who brought Anze here, Chang Jingsi immediately realized what happened.
He was usually decisive and unquestionable in his actions, but he did not expect Nanase to do this.
However, he did not show weakness as Anze expected, just smiled, sat down opposite Anze, and said with great interest: "Do you think I have reached the point where I can't do anything? Look around The whereabouts of the demon-sealing pot that seals the powerful youkai, using weak and useless shikigami as bait to tame the youkai...even the gathering of demon masters is held to ask for help?"
"..." Anze was completely overwhelmed.
"But it's normal for you to have such thoughts." As if seeing Anze's embarrassment, Chang Jingsi smiled, as if everything was within his expectations. "After all, I never thought that Ms. Nanase, who has been by my side for so many years, has no confidence in me, or in the owner of the Chang family."
Anze, who was handsome for only three seconds, couldn't help but want to grab the ground with his head.
Make yourself smart!Make you proud!It’s okay now, the face hurts so much qaq
"It would be great if we could get more powerful monsters to help us. If not..." Jing Si's words came to an end.
"Then why did you invite me to this party? ... and this thing, the young master of the field, won't you forget it?" Seen through, Anze didn't beat around the bush, he took it out of his arms A fragment of a white mask was placed on the table, and he asked straight to the point.
"What is this? I really don't know." Zhang Jingsi said without changing his expression.
I didn't expect you to be such a person!As brazen as Natori Monday, I'll go!The evidence is all in front of you, but you still say that you don't know anything, Anze almost knelt down to Zhang Jingsi.
Completely unaware of Anze's inner roar, Shiba Jingji continued: "As for why I invited you to this party...it's just an act of making friends with a powerful colleague who suddenly appeared. I don't know if Mr. Abe has The Chang family not interested in joining? The Chang family is the largest demon-eliminating family..."
Before Zhang Jingsi's Anli continued to speak out, Anze said bluntly: "Thank you, Mr. Chang, for your kindness, but I have no intention to join."
At this point, Anze felt that there was nothing more to say to him, anyway, the other party had already insisted that he didn't know anything, what else could he do?
"Then I'll take my leave." Anze said.
"It's really regrettable." Hearing what he said, Zhang Jingsi said, but there was no regret on his face.
Anze, who was in a depressed mood, got up and was about to leave.
"...has a demonic aura." Banruo said suddenly.
"Ok?"
"A monster is coming here, it is a very powerful monster." Banruo said seriously.
The field Jingsi's face also became a lot more serious.He reached out and touched the position of his right eye, turned around and left neatly, "Mr. Abe, please do what you want, I won't see you off."
Is it the monster who signed a contract with the field in the legend...
An Ze was very curious about that monster, and his thoughts of leaving became much weaker.But Banruo didn't seem to think that staying here was the right decision. He felt the powerful monster power that was getting closer and closer, and said to Anze: "Qingming, let's leave here, that monster... even I wouldn't dare Head on."
Even Hannya at the sr level thinks so, could it be... that monster is at the ssr level?
Although Anze yearned for SSR very much, he didn't think he could fight monsters of this level, so he didn't say much, nodded, and walked towards the exit with Prajna.
The people in the venue didn't seem to feel the evil spirit that Banruo said, and they all gathered in the hall. Presumably, Jingji Chang didn't inform them of the news in order not to cause too much panic.
Should he tell these people to go out together... Anze hesitated.
The people invited by Zhang Jingsi are estimated to be very capable. As the host, Zhang Jingsi didn't say a word. Even if he said something to a stranger who didn't know anything, no one would believe it.
But when Anze reached the door, Banruo suddenly reached out to hold him, and opened the door slightly like the wind.
At the same time, the solemn and thick wooden door creaked heavily, and then was blown open by the hurricane with a bang!
"Eyes...give me back your eyes..." A scalp-numbing voice resounded from the night and the sky, and the majestic and powerful demonic aura was like a huge wave swept by the wind, mercilessly Pounced towards the hall!
"There are monsters!" After a short silence, all the demon masters present immediately exploded!
"Give me back your eyes...!" Surrounded by the whistling wind, a monster in human form walked into the hall step by step.
"Congratulations to the player for discovering the hidden ssr-level Shikigami Yimulian. The system prompts that the player's current strength is too far behind him, and it is not recommended to accept it."
The sound of the system suddenly sounded.
After receiving this reminder, Anze couldn't help sighing that this game really has SSR, even if it is a shikigami that he didn't know before time travel.
Then he was hit by the system's judgment result, and his face was a little ugly.
Obviously there has been a lot of progress, but in comparison, this kind of progress is too small.
He has to work harder.
He patted Banruo's hand to signal him not to be too nervous, and then looked at Yimulian carefully.
Like Hannya, Yimulian is also wearing a kimono with a haori on the outside.He had very, very long bangs on his forehead, which almost completely covered the right half of his face, and the exposed left eye was as dark as night, filled with dark and distorted emotions.He scanned the surroundings with this eye, as if he was looking for the trace of Ma Jingji.
"Give me back my—eyes..." He seemed to only remember saying this sentence, and kept repeating it in a hoarse and distorted voice.
"It's the monster who signed a contract with your field family!"
Someone in the crowd yelled, "Where is Dechang Jingsi? As the head of the family, he violated the contract with the monster, and the monster is here for revenge!!"
"Where did he go! Could it be that we should help get rid of this monster!"
"I don't want to go up to die, what does it have to do with me!"
All kinds of arguments and cursing in the crowd almost brought the roof off.
"It's such a delicious emotion..." With an intoxicated expression on Hanruo's face, he took a deep breath and said, "Qingming, this monster is too strong, it's better to leave as soon as possible while it's unconscious .”
Before Banruo could finish his sentence, Yimu and the aura around him, who had not found the trace of Chang Jingsi, began to become more terrifying.
"The field... the eyes..." A strong wind began to blow around him, and the long tables placed in the venue were all swept up by the wind and fell together in tatters.
"Ah! Don't eat me..." Someone in the crowd finally let out a miserable cry.
Yimulian seemed to be completely inspired by the man's crying, and the broken table and chair rose out of thin air again, and smashed towards the crowd! "Give me back my eyes!!!"
Everyone seemed to be stunned by this reaction, seeing that things were about to be smashed down, they jumped up.
... What about the demeanor of the exorcising demon masters, are you really okay with this?
Anze's setting of being a high-ranking exorcist has been completely overthrown to the point where there is nothing left.
His crispy skin doesn't have weak legs yet, are you trying to be cute? !
"Yimulian—I'm here!" At this moment, Zhang Jingsi's voice came from outside the house!
