Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 210, Spirit Pill

PS: I’m going out with my blind date today, so I can only update 5000 words. Everyone wish me success!

Senior Mai's home is in Roppongi, Minato Ward, which is undoubtedly Japan's super-rich area.

In Japan's golden age, if you wanted to have a sweet love affair with a trendy Japanese city girl, there were five important conditions, and none of them was dispensable for Tokyo boys at that time. If you could not provide these five conditions for your girlfriend, you were doomed to not be favored by the girl.

The five conditions are: a two-day stay at Hakone Hot Springs, a one-day trip to Tokyo Disneyland, a luxurious meal with three Michelin stars, a romantic date in Odaiba, Minato Ward, and a shopping trip in Roppongi.

The Roppongi here refers to the area in Ginza, Minato Ward.

This is the center of Japan's economy and business.

Uesugi Sosetsu thought that it was no wonder that the paparazzi couldn’t find Senior Mai’s residence, because she never entered or left her home normally!
She would arrive at her doorstep in a flash, and then at the office in a flash.

"This will also be your home from now on, Junior."

Senior Mai gestured for Uesugi Sosetsu to follow.

"Excuse me." Uesugi Muneyuki had never seen such a scene before. This showed what his grandfather had always worried about - if he died, the Uesugi family would indeed be quickly marginalized in upper society, because in essence their family no longer had a lot of money or power. What was left was mainly the influence of historical and cultural celebrities and his grandfather's personal prestige as a professor at the University of Tokyo with multiple bloodlines and many students all over the world.

The moment the matte black metal door frame was pushed open, the scent of sandalwood wrapped in fir filled Uesugi Sosetsu's eyelashes. In front of the six-meter-high double-layer floor-to-ceiling window, the entire view of Roppongi Hills came into view, cutting the neon galaxy of Ginza's night view into a flowing colorful sea of light.

The rooms in the modern building are indeed in the style of a shrine. Senior Mai used Hokkaido cypress to build the 30-tatami-sized Japanese-style room in the living room. Warm orange floor lamps are hidden in the seams of the tatami, making it look like the sea of clouds outlined in gold foil in Ukiyo-e.

The entire west wall has been transformed into a mirrored shrine. The bronze mirror reflects the angles of Roppongi Hills. Above it is a stone tied with shimenawa ropes hanging from the open area. There is even a small courtyard made up of dry landscape in the room. The bright red miniature torii does not appear abrupt in the room, but rather appears so natural in the overall shrine style.

"You sit down first, I'll change my clothes." Senior Mai gestured to Uesugi Sosetsu to sit down first.

Uesugi Sosetsu didn't think too much about it. He sat down on the tatami, observing the large Ginza bungalow with a shrine-like feel, and wondered how much it would cost.
It is said that the monthly rent of a standard Ginza Tower building is over 200 million. Senior Mai's house may be her own, but the monthly property tax + property fees + various expenses must be a huge amount of one million.

We still need to work hard!
The entrance is paved with Shiga Prefecture Shigaraki terracotta hexagonal tiles, and a 6.4-meter panoramic floor-to-ceiling window outside the living room comes into view. The German Bulthaup integrated kitchen is matched with a Panasonic refrigerator, and the wallpaper used by Uesugi Sosetsu's seat and the interior walls is made of Mica wallpaper from Kyoto Kara Paper Workshop.

Senior sister is really rich.

Is she old money or new money?

While Uesugi Sosetsu was thinking, senior sister Mai had already come out.

She had changed into a standard shrine maiden outfit, with a white dress on the upper body. Although it was not tight, it still showed off her plump curves. Looking at the shape outlined by the red ribbon on her chest, Uesugi Sosetsu realized that she should not be wearing anything extra underneath. Under the white dress, a colorful red short hakama wrapped around her tight round moon. Her two slender but slightly voluptuous legs were unexpectedly covered by a layer of white matte opaque swan flesh stockings. The stockings extended all the way to the top of Mai's thighs. The slightly tight sock cuffs were bound and tightened with a red thread and tied into a ribbon knot at the end. A pair of pink snow-white feet wrapped in snow-white stockings stepped on the tatami, pure and sexy.

"Junior, do you like it?" Senior Mai came to Uesugi Sosetsu with a smile, sat next to him, put her arm around his shoulders and gently shook him: "Do you like it? Do you like it? Do you like it? These are the stockings I wear specially for you~"

"I didn't come back with you tonight just to see the stockings, Mai-senpai." Uesugi Sosetsu said with a sly smile, "If I want to see them, Erina can wear them for me anytime."

Although the man said so, he still couldn't help but gently rub the pair of slender legs and feet wrapped in pure white silk beside him. The incomparably wonderful touch made Uesugi Sosetsu linger, and Shirakawa Mai also let him do it. There was a faint flash of pink hearts in the goddess senior's eyes, and a hint of moving charm flashed for a moment, but gradually disappeared.

Business matters.

"I asked you to come here today, not because I am anxious to practice dual cultivation with you, but because you are still a little short of the right level." Senior Mai put her arm around Uesugi Sosetsu's shoulders and said, "I asked you to come here to teach you our sect's unique skill, Lingwan."

She motioned for Uesugi Sosetsu to stand up, and Uesugi Sosetsu did as she was told: "How do I learn?"

"It's actually very simple." Senior Mai hugged Uesugi's waist from behind. The six chakras in her body and the abdominal chakra in Uesugi Sosetsu merged into seven chakras. She then personally demonstrated the flow of energy to Uesugi Sosetsu: "Like this."

According to Tantra, the human body has three channels and seven chakras. Three channels are the three main personality forces formed by the flow of life energy in the body. Generally speaking, the left channel controls a person's memory, past and emotions, and the right channel controls a person's thinking, future, actions and plans. The vast majority of people's central channel is not opened, so it is necessary to practice the "seven chakras" to open the central channel.

This theory can be understood as the central meridian being the "Ren and Du meridians" in martial arts novels.

But after a round of rotations by Senior Sister Mai, Uesugi Sosetsu's central channel has been shaped into her shape by Senior Sister Mai, and there are already signs of it opening. At the same time, through the shallow dual cultivation exchange in the restaurant before, Uesugi Sosetsu's lowest root chakra has also been activated.

"Follow the rotation method I gave you and focus the spiritual energy in your body on the index finger of your right meridian." Senior Mai Yi gestured, "Inject the energy into your fingertips."

Uesugi Sosetsu did as he was told. Gradually, he began to feel the heat on his fingertips. "And then?"

"Then concentrate all your strength on your right index finger. Focus on your willpower and follow the energy circuit I gave you. Rotate three times."

Uesugi Sosetsu quickly rotated three times according to Senior Mai's instructions.

There is a reaction!

A bright light the size of a quail egg began to emerge from the fingertips of the right hand. The blue light ball was located at the second knuckle of the finger and continued to grow larger.

"This is... Lingwan?" Uesugi Sosetsu became interested: "Then what? What should I do?"

"After repeating it three times, point your finger at the target you want to shoot at, and then concentrate your mind and imagine the feeling of pulling the trigger." Senior Mai pointed casually: "Just shoot in the direction of the kitchen! Hit the microwave oven. I've been wanting to replace it for a long time."

Uesugi Sosetsu pointed his index finger towards the kitchen. He imagined his hand was a gun, controlled the energy, and pulled the trigger.

"biu!"

The instant the blue light was emitted, it overwhelmed all the lights in the room. The ball of light shot out from the fingertips, flew through the air at lightning speed, and hit a cabinet above the microwave.

boom!
The obsidian surface of the cabinet door dented on the spot, leaving a shallow pit with a diameter of about two centimeters. Fine smoke and dust spread from the center of the shallow pit, and broken stones splashed on the floor of the integrated kitchen.

"Oh, sorry." Uesugi Sosetsu quickly apologized.

"It's okay." Senior Mai smiled and shook her head: "Anyway, this is Lingwan."

Senior Mai explained, "You are different from me. You didn't feel the energy in the inner world when you were a child. Now that you are an adult, you have already missed the best time to control the energy of the inner world. It is very troublesome to start over now, and you don't have that much time."

"So, I've thought about it for a long time. You don't need to understand it, nor do you need to know how it works. You just need to circulate the energy according to the method I demonstrated to you, let the energy flow along the three wheels and seven meridians in your body, and launch the spirit pills... You have seen the power, it is not inferior to bullets, and it is effective against all the beings in the other world."

"What is this? What is this called? A spirit pill?"

Uesugi Sosetsu was extremely excited, he finally had a means of long-range attack!

"Yes, Lingwan." Senior Mai pointed her finger: "With your current physical strength and accumulated energy, you can launch it up to four times, and the size can reach the size of an egg. When you become stronger in the future, you can increase it to the size of a basketball, and then directly push out a whole ball of explosive energy with both hands."

"Hadoken?" Uesugi Sosetsu couldn't help but say, isn't this just like the special move in Street Fighter?
"That's right, art comes from life!" Senior Mai smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "What do you think, Reimaru is powerful, right? It suits you very well, right? And it's applicable to the inner and outer worlds!" "With it, I won't be afraid of the attacks of the Grudge anymore!" Uesugi Sosetsu thought, finally, finally there is a way to deal with the creatures and people of the inner world!

Yasue Nishijo, just wait until Hongzhong finds you, and I'm going to use my spirit pill to smash your dead head into pieces!

"It's obvious that you haven't fully mastered the Spirit Pill yet. Let's find an opportunity to go out in the wild and try again." Senior Mai continued, "In addition to the Spirit Pill, I have other things to teach you."

"In addition to attacking, spiritual power can also be used for defense." Senior Mai Yi condensed a spiritual ball on her fingertips and said, "Now, attack me. Don't worry about hurting me. You can't hurt me now."

Uesugi Sosetsu nodded, and according to the karate taught by Master Erina, he threw a straight punch at senior Mai without hesitation.

However, just as his fist was about to touch Senior Mai's body, a huge burst of force along with the explosion of spiritual power bounced him away, and Uesugi Sosetsu rolled several times on the tatami in a very embarrassed manner.

"What happened just now, I felt like I hit a wall!" Uesugi Sosetsu said with a grin.

"This is the second combat skill I'm going to teach you today, precision defense."

“Normally, we in the inner world can use spiritual power to protect ourselves.” Senior Mai smiled and shook her finger. “But, as you know, it is very difficult to replenish energy in the inner world. It is stupid to abuse spiritual power in battle. However, if the timing is good, accurate spiritual defense can give us a chance to counterattack in an instant.”

"You already understand the principle of launching the spirit pill, so you should understand that it takes some time to prepare the spirit pill. Similarly, spiritual defense also requires some preparation time. If the rotation is not enough, the spiritual power will not be enough to concentrate on the surface of the body to resist the attack. If the rotation is too much, it will make the body stiff."

Senior Mai pulled Uesugi Sosetsu up from the ground: "So, from the beginning of the rotation of spiritual power to form a defense to the excessive rotation affecting the body's movements, the moment when the spiritual power rotates through the three meridians to form a spiritual pill to resist the opponent's attack is called 'essence defense'."

"The time for precision defense is very short, only about one tenth of a second. In this instant, the spiritual power that blesses the body can even allow us to resist ordinary bullets, and can deflect any attack and get a chance to counterattack."

"I think this is the most suitable otherworldly ability for you."

"So, Uesugi-kun, let's practice this tonight." Senior Mai rolled up the sleeves of her miko uniform, her smile gradually becoming perverted: "I'll hit you, and you'll be responsible for defending and trying to block my attack."

"Wait, are you coming directly?" Uesugi Sosetsu finally understood why senior sister Mai asked him to come to her house tonight.

I'm not here to enjoy some good fortune, I'm here to practice for her!
Judging from her expression, this woman has been holding it in for a long time!
Yes, she has all these skills, but she can't find anything to practice them on, and it's impossible for her to show them and actively look for other people, so isn't that the only thing she can do?
"Of course, just come on, I don't have any idea what I'm saying, you'll know after trying a few more times!" The national goddess had an ambiguous smile on her face: "You won't die, don't worry, at most you'll break some ribs, I'll heal you, I'm also very good at healing witchcraft!"

"Wait, I'm not ready yet!" Uesugi Sosetsu was really panicked.

"Heh, the things on the inside don't consider whether you are ready or not. Do you think you are practicing with your beautiful policewoman black belt master?" Senior Mai gradually turned evil, and her smile became more and more ferocious: "Junior, my junior, come and practice hard with me! I will love you very much!"

If the duel with Master Erina brought smiles to people's faces, then the duel with Senior Mai was simply a "dark duel".

There are rewards for winning and penalties for losing.

Senior Mai, you plotted against me!
That night, the only sound was Uesugi Sosetsu's screams.

A few hours later, Senior Mai finally exhausted the last bit of Uesugi Sosetsu's spiritual power. Suffering from physical pain, Uesugi Sosetsu, who had only successfully triggered "Spirit Defense" three times, had fallen asleep exhausted.

Satisfied, senior Mai, who was sweating all over, hugged the man happily and fell on the tatami. A sweet expression of love appeared on the face of the national goddess.

She recalled her painful childhood, her admiration when she first saw her master display the power of the other world, and her shock when she discovered her true face, the joy and loneliness she felt when she inherited her master's position as the head of the shrine, and the pride and loneliness she felt after her debut as an actress and her fame overwhelmed other shrines.

She was winning, she always won.

She won this time too, and she herself didn't expect that she would meet Uesugi Sosetsu again.

I will never be lonely again.

Holding Uesugi Sosetsu and resting her head on his arm, Senior Sister Mai fell asleep sweetly leaning against him.

…………

early morning.

Uesugi Sosetsu woke up with back pain and bruises on his body.

He habitually reached out his hand and felt around him, but found nothing and only a thin blanket covering his body.

"Are you awake? I have prepared breakfast and bath water. Go have breakfast and take a bath. I will take you back." A satisfied voice with a hint of joy came from a distance.

In front of the dressing table in the early morning, senior Mai, who had changed into a plain white dress, faced the mirror and carefully applied makeup. The slender eyebrow pencil passed across the corners of her eyes. Looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, Mai Shirakawa pursed her lips and smiled at Sosetsu Uesugi.

Uesugi Sosetsu didn't say much. He ate breakfast and took a shower, and Senior Mai prepared to teleport him away.

Before leaving, she placed a rock about the size of a golf ball in Uesugi Sosetsu's hand and said, "Take this."

"What is this used for?" Uesugi Sosetsu saw that Shirakawa Mai was a little traumatized. He knew she was doing it for his own good, but he still felt a little unhappy after being beaten the whole night.

"This is the marked divine stone. Put it in your bedroom, and I can teleport between your house and mine at any time." Shirakawa Mai extended her index finger and tapped Uesugi Sosetsu's forehead, smiling: "From now on, you have to set aside one day a week for me! Come to my house, I'll prepare delicious food and drinks, and then we can practice together."

No way? Still practicing?

Well, it seems that I really need to practice more often...

Uesugi Sosetsu did not look happy at all, he just felt pressured.

If Erina takes up one day and senior Mai also takes up one day, then won't I have two nights a week without a rest?
Besides, learning Lingwan is indeed great, but the price is to be trained by the senior sister for a whole night. I don’t want that!
"Objection is invalid!" Senior Mai hugged Uesugi Sosetsu's arm, her pair of clear and moving big eyes were filled with a hint of darkness, accidentally revealing a bit of twisted, crazy possessiveness and rippling charming waves.

"Junior brother, you are mine, and belong to me alone!"

"It's settled. If you don't come to me, I'll go to you!"

"If I run into your fiancée, the tall and beautiful policewoman, and I at your house and cause trouble by accident, that would be terrible, right? Uesugi-kun? You don't want us to have a head-on conflict, do you? I've already made a big concession!"

"Okay... okay~"

“Haha, that’s right.” Senior Mai showed a mysterious smile on her face. She stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to give Uesugi Sosetsu a passionate kiss.

“This is a small reward~”
