Chapter 489 Next Target

"Touma Kamijou, you don't want anyone to know the secret of your right hand, do you?"

"Senior, please be lenient—"

The girl with the high ponytail felt quite pleased as she watched the boy with the urchin-shaped haircut raise his hands above his head and beg for mercy.

"How about it? Do you want to transfer to our Jinghua High School?"

"I can take care of all your enrollment procedures, scholarships, and even subsequent training resources."

Upon hearing the young lady from Keiwa High School bring up the old story again, Touma Kamijou couldn't help but scratch his head.

"this."

"Tokugawa Shizuka".

The other party immediately gave their name.
"Lady Tokugawa, why are you so obsessed with me?"

Seeing Touma's confusion, the high-ponytailed girl, who had put away her weapon, gave him a strange look.

"Of course it's because you're very strong."

“A man like you is certainly worth befriending; it would be even better if you could join my Tokugawa family.”

"This answer makes me feel like I'm a rare Pokémon!"

After hearing the other party's answer, Touma Kamijou couldn't help but complain, but unexpectedly revealed the truth: In the eyes of the extraordinary families that developed first, geniuses among ordinary people are just rare Pokémon.

To bring them under one's control as an asset;
If hatred arises, nip it in the bud!

Do you know how dangerous that was for you just now?

"He actually grabbed my 'Eight Flashes' with his bare hands! That's an attack made of super-alloy wire—a single slash would send your fingers flying!"

This is what caused the girl's panic earlier. Judging from Kamijou Touma's 'poor' appearance, he doesn't seem like someone who can afford to hire the Inari Shrine Maiden for treatment. Using technology to reattach severed limbs will not only affect future limb flexibility, but will also delay at least half a year of study.

While it's true that Tokugawa Shizuka is the 'big sister' of Keiwa High School, her personality hasn't yet developed to the point of 'treating human life like dirt'.

"Speaking of which, what happened to your right hand?"

The girl named Tokugawa Shizuka quickly shifted her attention to Kamijou Touma's right hand.

To be able to directly capture her 'Eight Flashes' and even make the spiritual power attached to the silk threads disappear without a trace is simply extraordinary!

"This is difficult for me to explain."

Touma Kamijou himself didn't know anything about his right hand.

After all, he has amnesia.

but:

"My right hand seems to be able to suppress spiritual energy and absorb spells."

This answer startled Tokugawa Shizuka. She stepped forward, grabbed Kamijou Touma's right hand, and interlocked their fingers.

They look like lovers, it's really—

? !
"...He actually has this kind of ability?"

The shock of the girl as the spiritual energy flowing through her body suddenly lost its activity is unimaginable.

The Tokugawa family was once the shogunate, and under her grandfather's management, it has now experienced a second spring and knows many extraordinary secrets; for example, her "Eight Flashes" is actually the signature move of the former head of the Hattori family, which the girl learned—partly due to her talent.

"As far as I know, the only thing capable of forcibly suppressing someone else's spiritual power is..."

The Three Sacred Treasures, the Eight-Span Curved Jewel!
"what happened?"

Shizuka Tokugawa shook her head, her gaze sweeping over Touma Kamijou repeatedly.

This peer, who exudes an air of poverty, doesn't seem to have anything to do with the 'Three Divine Artifacts' at all.

"Your situation is very special."

Tokugawa Shizuka frowned.
Simply unheard of!

Does anyone else know?

She had already experienced the ability to suppress spiritual power; if she could truly absorb the spell, that would be terrifying!
"No."

As Touma Kamijou answered, the girl's thoughts raced.

If a fighting expert were to acquire this ability...
No, the person in front of you, Touma Kamijou, is a fighting expert!

"No wonder you didn't want to come to Jinghua High School,"

Tokugawa Shizuka already 'understood'.

"At Mukaigaoka High School, superhumans are rare, and your right-hand ability will not be easily exposed."

But if you transfer to Jinghua High School, there are extraordinary students everywhere, and you can easily detect the abnormality by touching your right hand—so that's how it is!
? ?
Seeing Tokugawa Shizuka's bewildered expression, Kamijou Touma scratched his head.

Although he didn't know why, it seemed that there was a bit more 'appreciation' in the other person's eyes when they looked at him?
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"You can't go!"

Shizuka Tokugawa grabbed Touma Kamijou's wrist, her gaze serious.

"Come with me, let me see where your right hand is at its limit."

Third school district,

Below a pharmaceutical factory, in a secret laboratory.

"Success!"

"Since I'm in charge of the experiment, its success is only a matter of course."

Professor Honjo, the Superintendent of Police, and another woman in a police uniform who looked like she hadn't slept well formed a circle and looked at the person in front of them.

This is a 14-year-old long-haired girl wearing a junior high school uniform; although she is a junior high school student, she is already very well-endowed, and her breasts push up her sailor uniform high.

"Poison Island 00001 sends his greetings to you all."

The girl placed her hands in front of her and bowed slightly, displaying the gentle demeanor of a Yamato Nadeshiko, except for her expressionless face.

"Number 00001 of Poison Island, please introduce your background."

At Professor Honjo's prompting, the girl began to recall.

"Yes,"

"In my memory, I was born in Shimane Prefecture, Higashi-Izumo." "I lived at 847-6 Higashi-Izumo-cho."

"My mother died in a car accident when I was 3 years old, and I was raised by my father."

"I started learning swordsmanship at the age of 5."

However, the more the girl spoke, the more hesitant she became. These 'memories' did indeed exist in her mind, and they did seem to be her past—but this was clearly not right. For example, why was she in this laboratory, and why was she obeying the person in front of her?
My brain, which had just started working, crashed.

"There is no problem with his thinking ability; in fact, he has already shown signs of doubt."

"It's incredible that they were actually able to 'replicate' someone like Busujima."

The superintendent couldn't help but sigh, saying that if it were just about cloning an identical body, it wouldn't be anything special: technology from over 20 years ago could have done that.

Of course, being able to do it and not knowing how to do it are two different things. After all, 'human cloning' involves many issues and is a research project that was previously prohibited by all countries; it is a taboo topic that cannot be discussed openly.

But now, a living, breathing 'poison island' stands right in front of him.

Even their 'memories' are exactly the same!
Extraordinary power, awe-inspiring.

"Ha, the body is manufactured, the heart is borrowed, in the end it's just an artificial product."

Professor Honjo, with his silver hair combed back, spoke frankly without a care in the world.

"As for whether he can become a superhuman like the real 'Poison Island' and awaken the 'Eye of God', that remains to be seen."

This made the woman next to her, who looked like she hadn't slept well, twitch the corner of her mouth.

She obtained the true spirit of the Hundred Demons of the 'Dream Eater', but could only travel within dreams, making her utterly powerless in combat.

Because of the biological self-preservation mechanism, even if she tried to kill someone in a dream, the other party would only wake up as if it were a nightmare—if you repeatedly infiltrate a target's dream, you can indeed kill them by preventing them from falling asleep.

But she had neither such intention nor any interest in 'climbing to the pinnacle'.

So he went directly to the Metropolitan Police Department to "turn himself in".

He became a police superintendent!

However, her position as police chief is shady; she spends her days traversing the minds of various spies, agents, and prisoners through dreams to gather intelligence for the island nation.

Now, she is using her abilities to weave a life story for a young girl called 'Poison Island'.

The specific process involves traveling to Shimane Prefecture, specifically Higashi-Izumo.

Infiltrate the dreams of everyone connected to Poison Island, copy their memories, and then piece them together.
Damn it!

The female police chief cursed inwardly.

She had absolutely no desire to be associated with any 'eye of God'.

It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that such a covetousness for divine power would result in utter annihilation if exposed!
No, perhaps those high and mighty gods are observing all of this with great interest, watching to see what outcome these ants can achieve through their struggles.

In a sense,
The female police chief's self-destructive thoughts are very close to the truth.

"My memories. I am Busujima."

"No, I'm Busujima 00001, I'm from Busujima—"

As he continued to sort through the memories in his mind, this 'Poison Island 00001' gradually came to understand everything.

"Clonate".

However:
"He didn't show any emotional reaction at all?"

The superintendent frowned. If it were him, knowing that he was just a clone, he would definitely be terrified first, and then furious, right?

"Although she has a mature body and memories belonging to 'Poison Island', she is essentially still just a 'newborn' who has only been born for a short time."

Professor Honjo was not surprised by this.

"Let her do a detailed physical fitness test first."

The expressionless girl in front of them was merely a 'weapon' they had created.

Since it is a weapon, the most important thing is its combat effectiveness.

"I hope it's worth the 18 billion yuan cost."

the other side,
Kagawa Prefecture, roundabout.

"How is your injury healing?"

A refined middle-aged man sat under a cherry blossom tree, holding a collection of waka poems, slowly flipping through it.

"He's out of danger."

Wearing a tattered black robe with red cloud patterns, and sporting a spiky hairstyle, Yijiang walked over.

He took a direct hit to the face from a 'phantom dog cannon,' which shattered his divine avatar on the spot. He was later forced out from underground, and although his injuries were less severe than those of a certain young lady, he clearly lacked her powerful recovery ability. It has only now, after recovering from his injuries, that he has regained his fighting strength.

Now you know why I didn't want you to go to Tokyo, right?

Closing the poetry collection in his hand, 'Great Tengu' Chongdeyuan turned around.

"Yes,"

He was beaten up.
Even Ijiang behaved himself.

His power almost entirely comes from Susanoo's 'eyes of God';
Only when he truly faced the 'divine child' under the throne of the gods did he realize that his power was insufficient to make him disregard everything.

Fortunately, no matter what, we managed to obtain a fragment of the divine sword.

"Sir, the next fragment."

Since there are too many powerful individuals in Tokyo, finding the divine sword fragments there is definitely out of the question. So, where should we go next to search for the divine sword fragments?
"Abe Seimei,"

Standing up, the former emperor, now known as 'Great Tengu', stroked his beard.

"I greatly admire this great Onmyoji. Perhaps—"

Go visit him!
Chongde lived between 1119 and 1164.

The legendary Onmyoji was active between 921 and 1005; that is to say, in the mind of the 'Great Tengu' Sutoku-in, Abe no Seimei was an 'ancient person' from a hundred years ago.

This is understandable. If Abe no Seimei were alive, he, the "Great Demon of the Island Nation," would probably also be on the opponent's list of victories.

"The demiplane he possesses?"

Ie immediately realized the 'Great Tengu's' purpose, but:
"That great Onmyoji, can—"

Do you agree?
"Whether to agree or not, we should ask first."
