"How did you see those spirits?"
Li Mo did not answer directly, but asked in return.
The girl suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Are you saying you want to make a wish here?"
Then she showed a skeptical expression again, "But will this really work? Mr. Exorcist, isn't what you're doing the same as a chef asking the ingredients to come out to you?"
"I wouldn't use such dirty ingredients."
Li Mo first protested for the sake of his own food hygiene, then said nonchalantly, "Anyway, try everything you can, maybe it will be useful."
Fujiwara Chika thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so she stopped talking and waited for Li Mo to come forward and pay his respects.
But Li Mo did not run directly to the cash box, but stood there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's wrong?"
Fujiwara Chika asked doubtfully.
Li Mo didn't answer, just smiled.
The next moment, a strong flame rose from the ground and wrapped around the bodies of the two people.
Fujiwara Chika was so frightened that she almost fell off Li Mo's back.
After all, she had seen how terrifying Li Mo's flames were before.
But the girl soon calmed down because the flames surrounding her did not bring the burning pain she had imagined, but instead gave her a warm feeling.
And if you look closely, you will find that the flames create an effect similar to a windbreaker or cloak on both of them.
"This is……"
"Cursed Flame Scales, just in case."
Li Mo said calmly: "Even when facing attacks from unknown entities, we can still have a certain degree of defense."
It even has anti-armor. If that unknown being is too weak, it might be killed directly.
"Well, that being said, you haven't protected your head at all. The head is completely exposed!"
Fujiwara Chika said in a loud voice.
"That's just the outward manifestation of it,"
Li Mo explained: "The overall defense has been improved, even the head is well protected, mainly for aesthetics and vision considerations..."
The pink-haired girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, and then a light bulb seemed to light up above her head.
"I see. To put it simply, it's the same as the bikini armor in the game, right? It's just a few pieces of fabric, but it increases overall defense. That's kind of the feeling."
"Don't compare that thing with the 'Cursed Flame Scale' I painstakingly developed!"
Li Mo suddenly felt that his hard work had been tarnished by some scoundrel who came from nowhere.
"How rude! The bikini armor was also carefully designed by the art designer."
"Aren't you strictly forbidden from playing games by your parents? How do you know something like this?"
"…Recent board games are quite open."
"What the hell is happening in the board game industry?!"
Although it was a little hard for him to accept the girl's metaphor, Li Mo quickly adjusted his mindset, ran to the cash box, and planned to repeat her behavior that day according to the girl's instructions.
"Hey, do I have to pay 500 yen for the incense? For a shrine like this that's from an unknown source?"
"I think it's a little low, but I just had ramen the other day, so this is all I have left..."
"No, no, no, that's too much! Normally, I'd only throw in five yen!"
"Mr. Exorcist, you are unexpectedly ungodly..."
"Which god would correlate the piety of believers with the amount of money they give them?"
Chapter 341: Regret not dying in a car accident.
"Two bows, two claps, one bow... Is that how it came about?"
Li Mo, who had not studied much about the rules of Shintoism, was a little at a loss.
"Make your expression more solemn, and lift the corners of your mouth about five millimeters."
Behind him, Fujiwara Chika was still giving blind orders in an attempt to create chaos, but Li Mo decided to pretend he didn't hear anything.
After pondering for a long time and seeing nothing happen, a light suddenly flashed in Li Mo's mind.
Yes, I’m here to challenge them, why should I follow their rules?
So he treated it as a ritual to trigger the mechanism, and paid a perfunctory visit. Then he changed the words he was originally praying in his heart, "Let me see if you, the god, are healthy or not," to "Please get out of here."
Hmm, now it seems that the previous prayer was not very polite.
In any case, his declaration of challenging the shrine seemed to have finally reached the shrine owner.
The wind began to blow in the originally calm mountains, and the treetops swayed in the wind, creating waves of green.
Amid the rustling sound of lush branches and leaves rubbing against each other, it seemed as if something had changed.
It was as if the door between 'daily' and 'extraordinary' was suddenly opened.
Li Mo turned around and looked at the square in front of the shrine, which was still empty to Muggles.
“How many can you see?”
He asked aloud, because from the beginning, Li Mo noticed that the girl's body behind him suddenly tensed up, and her breathing became much more rapid from the originally relaxed state.
If we rule out the possibility of sudden urgency to urinate, there is only one reason.
"Three, three..."
The girl whispered, her voice trembling slightly, obviously afraid of the invisible things in front of her.
"Tsk, this is a bit troublesome."
Li Mo clicked his tongue impatiently: "I can only see two, the pair with cat ears, where is the other one?"
If you can't see it, it means he can't recognize it, and the effect of your spell will be weakened.
"Right behind those two. It's a big one."
The girl whispered to Li Mo in a manner that seemed like she was biting his ear.
"What does it look like?"
Li Mo continued to ask.
He intended to use the girl's description to strengthen his impression of the thing he couldn't see yet, so as to activate the spell [Candle]
Although the effect might not be that great, as long as it is successfully activated, the opponent will be forcibly dragged into his cognition, changing from an 'invisible, indescribable monster beyond cognition' to an 'enemy burned by the [Candle]', and thus the target can be selected.
"Like a fox, and like an asparagus."
The girl said in a very low voice.
What the hell is that!
The monster image that Li Mo had conceived in his mind suddenly became a mess.
At this time, the two creatures with cat ears, probably familiars or shikigami, attacked Li Mo.
"【snake】!"
Li Mo pointed in the air, and the two aggressive humanoid monsters immediately disintegrated into a pile of colorful and entangled things, which were so subtle that they could remind people of snakes' internal organs.
"Wow……"
Fujiwara Chika was shocked by the scene before her and could only use pale exclamations to describe her surprise.
But then she immediately screamed: "That big guy is coming!"
"Tsk..."
Li Mo's eyes were solemn. He couldn't even hear the sound of the other party's movements. This meant that the thing was a very pure spiritual body with almost no intersection with the material world. It would be even more troublesome to aim at it and cast a spell.
Just when Li Mo was considering whether to just stand there and take the opponent's attack, and then use the anti-armor of the cursed flame scales to identify the opponent (because he would be burned), suddenly accompanied by a loud beeping sound, an old Ford rushed out from the side.
Then, it was as if it had hit an invisible tree. The hood of the car collapsed directly, the windshield shattered into countless shiny glass shards, the lid of the psychology car also tilted up due to inertia, and even the door next to the passenger seat flew out.
Is it because it has some magical element? Even an incorporeal evil spirit would be hit by a classic car.
But the old car did not stop. With the harsh squeaking of its tires and the roar of the engine as the accelerator was further stepped on, the old car directly carried the invisible "big tree" and crashed directly into the vermilion-painted torii gate.
For some reason, Li Mo felt that he saw the other party saying "My mission is accomplished" from the flashing lights of the classic car.
The next moment, the entire car exploded from the fuel tank, turning into a huge burning fireball. A column of black smoke rose up, spreading to the surroundings with a scorching heat wave.
"what……"
Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth, trying hard to swallow her surprised voice: "Are you also in control of that car?"
"No, it has a certain degree of self-awareness. It probably went up like this to protect me."
Li Mo shook his head with a low voice.
"I see... Well, please accept my condolences."
Hearing this, the girl's tone was also slightly sad.
After all, she had just flown here from her home villa on the other side, which was a very special experience for the girl. However, she did not expect the separation to come so soon, just like a mobile game copy that just randomly pulled a passerby to be killed without any foreshadowing in order to force tears.
"Damn it, now I have no choice but to carry you down the mountain..."
Li Mo muttered.
"Why is this the first thing you think of at a time like this?! Shouldn't we first offer a moment of silence for Che Che, who had such a sacrificial spirit?"
"Because it'll be brand new tomorrow...? Anyway, it'll just reappear in my garage like that, and you're so heavy... Hey, could it be that it just couldn't bear the humiliation of carrying you back and committed suicide?"
"This is the second time today! Mr. Exorcist, have you ever heard that even Buddha can only endure three times?"
"No."
Li Mo looked proud.
This made Fujiwara Chika tap Li Mo's shoulder with an 'angry' look on her face, making the latter look comfortable as if he had enjoyed a massage with quite good strength.
At this time, something emerged from the wreckage of the car that was still burning next to the torii gate.
"That big guy...it's still alive!"
Fujiwara Chika exclaimed.
"That's great,"
Li Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest: "Otherwise, it feels like I came here for nothing today."
Looking at his eager expression, Fujiwara Chika suddenly felt that the terrifying monster that looked so twisted and hideous at the beginning was now subtly... pitiful?
Maybe after a while, it will regret why it didn't die in the car accident.
Chapter 342: Conquer people with virtue.
After being attacked by the suicide attack of the old car, the lord of the shrine, who was originally invisible to Li Mo, finally entered his cognition and could be captured by the high-definition true vision.
It let out a terrifying roar and pounced towards Li Mo.
It is worth mentioning that unlike normal creatures that attack with their mouths open and fangs exposed, this spirit that looks a bit like a fox has its entire face split open, and twists its strange limbs covered with sharp bone spurs like a parasitic beast. It looks extremely hideous and terrifying. The degree of its terror and the visual impact on ordinary people can be seen from Fujiwara Chika who is already frozen in fear behind Li Mo.
But this obviously has nothing to do with Li Mo, because his right eye vision has not yet recovered. Everything he sees looks like he has severe myopia and astigmatism. It is already good enough that he can distinguish the outline of the enemy.
"【scale】"
He kicked the pebbles on the ground in the direction the monster was heading. The moment the monster's body collided with the pebbles, it stopped completely as if it had hit an invisible wall. Its distorted and terrifying face was flattened in a weird and funny way, and it looked like it had been knocked away by a pebble the size of a fingernail.
Only then did Li Mo calmly point at the other party.
"【candle】"
The monster immediately let out a shrill scream, and strange bell sounds rang out, as if it was trying to use supernatural powers to extinguish the flames on its body. However, in terms of priority, the spell that could even work against evil gods from another world was obviously higher, and this level of struggle was completely unable to resist the power of [Candle].
In fact, if Li Mo was not upset about the old Ford's self-explosion and deliberately torturing the other party, the battle between him and the other party would be over in just one encounter - the moment he saw him, the other party had already lost the only chance of winning.
"that……"
