I am recycling settings in the anime

Thinking of this, Sanae held high the imperial coin in her hand, staring intently at the evil centipede that had already covered a large area of ​​the ground. Although it did not have the ability to fly, it still had the most basic ability of the evil spirits... that is, the ability to directly interfere with the living and devour the vitality of the living. Even if Sanae was flying, they could still interfere.

However, in front of Sanae, the technique constructed by spiritual power has already taken shape.

After the evil spirit rushed in front of the spell, it was blown away by the light of the spell before it could do anything.

The evil centipede obviously couldn't withstand such an impact, and its body completely collapsed in an instant.

After realizing the problem, the other evil centipedes rushed towards each other.

However, it was too late! Sanae wouldn't give these evil centipedes so much time.

"Secret technique 'Nine-Character Cut'! Soldiers! Fight! All! Line up! Before!!"

The dazzling light instantly enveloped all the evil centipedes on the ground, and the wailing sounds were endless.

The evil spirits in them gradually weakened, and under Sanae's sealing technique, there was no possibility of resistance.

Although she may not be very good at sealing, this is also the basic skill of a witch.

When surviving in the outside world, although the mysteries left on the ground are now quite thin, there are still monsters living in modern society. Generally, those who can integrate into the society will follow the rules of human society, of course there are also some that do not.

This is the time for a shrine maiden like Sanae to take the field. She has also accepted many commissions and has solved some commissions involving the undead and evil spirits in the past. She is not good at sealing techniques, but she is definitely not unfamiliar with it.

"All of you guys, just disappear completely. Although I can't kill you, my sealing technique can temporarily prevent you from moving around. During this time, I will definitely find a way to completely eliminate the ghost stories."

To be honest, although the undead and evil spirits she had dealt with in the past were also troublesome, they only caused a certain degree of inconvenience to the client and were not life-threatening. This was the first time Sanae had seen... someone in Nagano Prefecture die because of a monster, and in such a tragic way that even the corpse was trampled.

Although she has become accustomed to it due to the education she received since childhood, there is still a surge of anger in her heart.

However, after seeing this scene, she felt that she had underestimated her own reaction.

Boom! The spell landed heavily on the ground, and the surrounding space began to vibrate horribly.

The bodies of those evil centipedes began to gradually collapse, and the evil spirits' breath also began to disappear.

After the magic light completely covered the ground, a huge hexagram gradually emerged on the ground.

The wailing of the evil centipede that kept echoing around gradually disappeared, and even the breath of the evil spirit completely disappeared.

The light faded, leaving only the corpse lying on the ground. Even the facial features and body could not be seen clearly, leaving only a bloody scene. Although Sanae was used to it, after seeing this scene, apart from the instinctive nausea, there was only sadness, and the unwillingness and pain of not being able to save a life, which made Sanae subconsciously clench her fists.

If only I had come earlier... Sanae couldn't help but think of this.

But she also knew that this was just the mysterious normality that happened every day in every corner of the world.

If I keep dwelling on things like this, it will only affect my future actions.

"It's not over yet. Let's go back later. I'll explain to Lady Kanako later."

After looking around, Sanae Kofutani turned around and took out a list from her arms.

She did not move around like a headless fly, but acted with an accurate target range.

All the suspicious ghost stories that have appeared recently in Nagano Prefecture are listed here, and then screened one by one.

Then, based on these ghost stories that have become monsters, we will investigate and find the mastermind behind them.

——Sanae still has a very clear way of thinking in this regard.

"The slit-mouthed woman, the evil centipede... Then there's the legend of the demon-slaying ghost..."

As Sanae finished her words, a terrifying roar sounded behind her, startling her.

The giant evil centipede rushed out of the huge seal and stared at Sanae in front of it with a terrifying roar.

The burly figure, who knew how many times bigger than Sanae, pressed towards Sanae without the slightest hesitation.

Sanae's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously raised the imperial coin in her hand.

The opponent's movements were simply too fast, whether it was the swiftness with which he broke through the seal, or the decisiveness with which he rushed towards him immediately after breaking through the seal, trying to suppress him and prevent him from counterattacking.

None of them look like monsters created from pure ghost stories.

After feeling the opponent's strength, Sanae's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Sacrifice your body, fuse it with the pure resentment of evil spirits, and create a new evil centipede?"

"Can the monsters created by strange stories actually think this way?"

Chapter 124: A cold blade light suddenly appeared.

"Sanae seems to have really grown up a lot. Although she relies more on the power of me and Kanako in battle, apart from these two powers, she has also cultivated other miko powers very well. Well done."

Suwako Shishiya has been following Sanae, watching her investigate this ghost story all the way.

She listed all the ghost stories about Nagano Prefecture in her mind, and then looked for the most suspicious ones. Because the ghost story of Slit-mouthed Woman had a precedent of manifesting monsters, Sanae only needed to find the ghost stories that appeared at the same time as Slit-mouthed Woman. This would narrow the scope, and then she would investigate one by one and use sealing techniques to seal these monsters.

There are indeed not so many ways to solve ghost stories, but if the monsters that manifest in these ghost stories are sealed, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely take action to find a way to break the seal in order to achieve his or her unknown purpose.

Then, we can use this to directly lure out the mastermind behind the whole thing.

Suwako's face showed a hint of admiration for the opponent's clearly defined fighting style.

"I believe that as long as you experience it well, you and Kanako will be able to live well even without me."

As she said this, Suwako folded her arms and jumped up and down in the air with a lively look on her face.

She seemed to be in a good mood, humming a ballad and looking back and forth in Sanae's direction.

However, out of the corner of her eye she happened to see Sanae turn around and prepare to leave, her eyes fixed on the list of strange stories in her hand.

At this moment, Suwako couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

But amidst this helplessness, there is a deep sense of doting.

"This kid is really frustrating. If only his fighting sense could be a little sharper."

"The monsters in strange tales aren't that simple. Or rather, all established monsters are definitely not that simple. Especially in this case... there's an unknown black hand manipulating this. We need to be more vigilant!"

At first glance, the monsters created by ghost stories have a very rigid feature, that is, they basically only act according to their own stories. They are like characters with pre-written settings and will never do anything outside of the settings.

Therefore, in Sanae's opinion, monsters like this are just existences of this level.

However, the true nature of these guys was actually beyond Sanae's imagination.

First of all, as evil centipedes, they can actually act separately from their evil spirits and bodies, as if they were two individuals.

After Sanae set the seal, the evil spirit was able to save herself by sacrificing her own body.

What surprised Sanae even more was that these evil spirits could actually gather together to form a giant evil centipede.

The hexagram that served as a seal showed no signs of being shaken, but the giant evil centipede appeared directly like that, and even rushed towards Sanae, its evil spirit body still roaring continuously.

The roar that shook the entire space made Sanae's body become much stiffer.

It wasn't the body that was stiff, but rather the feeling that his soul had been struck by something...

Suwako turned her gaze towards Sanae, and amidst a roar, golden light burned on her body like a raging flame. The power of faith began to burn in Suwako's body, and a giant snake vaguely appeared behind Suwako.

She didn't come here to watch the show. If anything happened to Sanae, she would definitely cry to death.

"If you want to harm Sanae, have you ever asked me, your ancestor?"

She and Kanako both raised Sanae as their own daughter. There was no doubt that this girl was the result of their hard work.

If anyone tries to harm his children, be prepared to bear the wrath of this god.

The number of eight million gods is indeed seriously inflated, but no matter how serious the inflated number is, he is still a genuine god.

As Suwako finished speaking, a cruel smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, Sanae had been forced into a dead end by the evil centipede. The attack speed made it impossible for her to dodge. If she was hit head-on by the opponent, she would definitely be seriously injured.

Sanae subconsciously raised the imperial coin in her hand. In desperation, she could only squander all the spiritual power in her body.

Then, a cold flash of a knife suddenly appeared.

The sword light that came from nowhere turned into the most dazzling sword in the world.

The atmosphere was cut open, the earth was completely split open, and the terrifying roar made Sanae's mind go blank.

This emotionless blow landed directly on the huge body of the evil centipede. The behemoth that had originally tried to press towards Sanae's body just stood there in a daze, as if it had lost all its life.

Then, accompanied by a loud bang, the evil centipede was completely swallowed up.

Although it was so close to her, Sanae just stared blankly at the evil centipede in front of her being swallowed by the knife light, and was not affected by the terrifying wind and waves, until the evil centipede floating in front of her completely disappeared in front of her.

Sanae, who was suspended in the air, opened her mouth slightly, her eyes a little dazed.

She didn't even realize that the list she was holding tightly in her hand had quietly loosened, and at this moment it was blown away by the wind.

"Wow! Oops, the indecent words got blown away by the wind! Otherwise I'll have to write it all over again, which is really troublesome!"

Finally realizing that the thing in her hand was about to be blown away by the wind, Sanae's face was full of anxiety.

However, Sanae still couldn't catch the floating paper and could only watch it disappear into the darkness.

Gradually, Sanae couldn't help but drop her hands, her eyes full of despair.

Wuuuuuuuuuuu… I finally came up with these ghost stories, but they’re all gone.

The flustered and somewhat embarrassed look made Suwako, who was watching from behind, smile dotingly.

"What an impatient girl! I don't know when she can change her personality. It seems I have to tell Kanako to pay close attention. If she doesn't change her personality, she will never be able to stand on her own."

She didn't mention herself, but simply mentioned Kanako.

That's right, she knows her situation clearly and how long she can hold on.

She never cared about whether she would disappear or not, and she had already excluded herself from her training plan for Sanae.

However, she couldn't help but look up into the air, with a gleam of light in her eyes.

"Who released that sword light just now? Is there really such a thing in modern society?"

"But why would a monster like this appear in Nagano Prefecture?"

"I haven't heard Kanako mention it. I guess I have to go back and ask her."

The paper fluttering in the wind seemed to be affected by some force and slowly fell into a big hand.

Looking at the clear words written on it, the owner of the hand - Fang Yi carefully examined the contents of the note.

He silently put away the Ghost Cut that he had just pulled out. The knife that he casually swung out was so terrifying.

Iwanaga Kotoko, who was standing next to Fang Yi, looked in Sanae's direction with curiosity and couldn't help but look at Fang Yi.

"Master, is that Sanae Tofutani, the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine in Nagano Prefecture?"

"Well... a miko who wields the power of miracles is quite capable. She's considered quite talented for the younger generation."

Of course, Fang Yi's words were still rather tactful, because the other party's ability was not that great among the people Fang Yi knew. Based on Fang Yi's observation just now, it was indeed the case. Yuura and Kagome were both stronger than each other.

The Hakurei shrine maiden from Gensokyo is more capable in this area than the other party.

That's right, Sanae's experience probably can't be compared with Reimu's.

"She disappeared... and didn't reappear. Is that the same as the Slit-mouthed Woman? No, it's not the same as that time."

When the knife fell just now, Fang Yi felt that he had indeed hit the other person.

The feeling was that the evil spirit's power had indeed been completely shattered by him, unlike when he struck the slit-mouthed woman. What surprised Fang Yi was that after he struck the other party, the other party did not recover, but instead its aura completely subsided and disappeared. In theory, monsters created by ghost stories should not disappear like this.

There is probably only one reason why it hasn't appeared now.

"It seems that Sanae Tofutani's sealing technique did have some effect."

As he spoke, Fang Yi's eyes fell on the paper in his hand.

"Perhaps we can cooperate with this plan to seal the strange story."

Chapter 125 Suwako: Are you some kind of stitched monster?

Fang Yi and Qinzi were originally affectionate in the room. Although night is the time when monsters are most active, neither Fang Yi nor Qinzi knew much about the situation in Nagano Prefecture. They came here with basically no knowledge.

The only one who knows more about this group of people is probably the snow woman beside Kotoko.

It seemed that the Snow Girl knew the situation here because she had been here before, but she only knew that there was a Moriya Shrine in Nagano Prefecture. If only Sakuragawa Rikka was here, Fang Yi could just find her and achieve his goal.

But besides Sakuragawa Rikka, there are also densely packed ghost stories and the monsters they create.

On this point, Fang Yi felt that he needed to act with caution, as Qinzi was right.

Now that I have the power of Cong Yunya, I will undoubtedly be the target of the monsters in Kyoto, so I have to be careful.
