Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 343, Is there a village beauty named Chun?
PS: Today, my brother's performance was so bad that it was a huge blow to the emperor, but there will still be a second update, just a little later.

Just as Miyahara Tetsu's white smoke reached its limit, Uesugi Muneyuki and Shirakawa Mai began their operation.

Mai-senpai was probably the only one present who could barely hold her own against the Rain Woman, but she wasn't confident of winning, especially in the enemy's territory, so she agreed to Uesugi Muneyuki's plan.

I can only give it a try!

Divine Art - Incantation, Cut Off the Flow!
Pale purple spiritual energy swirled along Mai-senpai's perfect waistline and her beautiful figure in white clothes and red hakama, and the rising purple force field blocked the rain curtain of the Rain Woman. On the other side, the smoke demon who had been continuously spewing white smoke could no longer hold on. He began to shake the emergency inhaler, and the clicking sound appeared.

At the same time, Mai-senpai's spiritual power burst forth and Smoker's rocking music rang out simultaneously. The Rain Woman in the rain instantly sensed it. She hesitated for a moment before immediately attacking Smoker!

The falling raindrops lingered in the air, forming long, thin needles of water, and thousands of silver lights shot straight towards Miyahara Toru's location!

The plan goes through!
Uesugi Muneyuki looked solemn, and Miyahara Tetsuya dared not be careless at all. He hurriedly took a breath and, ignoring that his spirit power had not fully recovered, immediately turned into a cloud of smoke. However, this cloud of smoke was still swept away by the rain of pear blossom needles flying in front of him, and it was almost impossible to take shape. The screams of the smoke demon could be heard in the rain.

Miyahara Toru was injured, but fortunately the damage to him was limited.

Without hesitation, Uesugi Muneyuki took off running towards the location of the Rain Woman!

"?" The Rain Woman realized that she hadn't completely eliminated the one who was smoking. Only then did she realize that she had been tricked! Under the rain, she slightly "raised her head," and her "gaze," hidden by her wet hair, slowly swept over every living creature present. Everyone whose "gaze" swept over felt their heart being clenched by an icy hand, and their brains filled with endless sorrow and cold whispers.

However, Uesugi Muneyuki and Shirakawa Mai were both seasoned veterans and had seen a lot, so they were not too shaken. Seeing Uesugi Muneyuki rushing towards her, the Rain Woman sneered. She seemed to want to summon the Frogman, but Mai-senpai's divine incantation - Flow Cutting - blocked the rain curtain. Even if the Frogman was summoned, it would be too late!
Seize the opportunity! Uesugi Muneyuki rushed towards the Rain Woman like a raging storm!
The evil spirit in the rain immediately changed tactics. With a wave of her hand, a fountain was created on the ground. The gushing floodwaters immediately obscured Uesugi Muneyuki's vision and blocked his path to her!

"Leave it to me!" Mai-senpai's sweet shout came first, and a dazzling white light shot through dozens of meters, tearing a crack in the giant wave stirred up by the Rain Woman!
Demon-destroying arrow!

Seizing this opportunity, Uesugi Muneyuki got even closer!

Eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters!
Through the rain, the figure in the plain white kimono gradually became visible. Within her long, wet hair, which resembled seaweed, a pair of lonely and hateful eyes stared directly at Uesugi Sōsetsu, who was charging towards her. Seeing the water waves dispersed, the rain woman snorted coldly and uttered a series of incantations. Uesugi Sōsetsu, who was advancing, felt his body freeze, his whole body enveloped by a ball of energy filled with violent resentment and loneliness, and a chill spread up his legs.

Precision prevention!

Uesugi Muneyuki prevented the Rain Woman's incantation from being completed. The spirit ball burst forth, the power of the incantation was deflected, and it moved forward again!
After failing to stop Uesugi Muneyuki with two consecutive attacks, the Rain Woman finally got serious. She spread her arms and opened her palms, right hand up and left hand down, drawing a semicircle on each side. The rainwater condensed together, turning into an ice wall that perfectly blocked Uesugi Muneyuki at a distance of about 25 meters. At the same time, the frogmen on both sides were rapidly approaching.

Not enough, the distance is still not enough!
Uesugi Muneyuki was blocked in front of the ice wall. He threw a Spirit Ball at the surface of the ice wall with his fist, but he could not break through the barrier even slightly!

It was at this moment that Mai-senpai's blessing of stopping the flow began to lose its effect, and the waves on both sides and the rain in the air began to surge towards the channel that had been painstakingly created!
"I'll do it!" Mai's voice arrived again, and she had never made Uesugi Muneyuki feel so at ease.

The Empress's Secret Techniques are All Passed Down - Swift Blessing!
The senior student transformed into a streak of light and flashed dozens of meters away, landing beside Uesugi Muneyuki. She took a deep breath and unleashed her spiritual power once more.

Forbidden - Inner Secret Technique, Soul Purification Seal!
With a slap on the ice wall, the Rain Woman's white spiritual power clashed with the Senior's purple spiritual power, finally creating a crack. Before Shirakawa Mai could further strengthen her power, two water tentacles stretched out from the ground and firmly grabbed Mai-senpai's legs.

"Ugh!" Mai's expression changed slightly. She tried to unleash her spiritual power again to break free from the tentacles, but she failed. The tentacles tightened their grip, and a sharp water cone quickly rose from the ground and stabbed towards Mai's groin. The water cone was as fast as a bullet, so much so that Uesugi Muneyuki didn't even notice it!

clang!
Mai-senpai's protective spiritual energy shield finally blocked the water spike that was powerful enough to pierce through the skull from bottom to top. The collision of spiritual energy between the spike and the shield produced a bright light. Shirakawa Mai's face was contorted with rage as she gestured for him to leave her alone and go quickly!

Seeing that the spikes could not pierce the enemy's shield, the water-shaped transformation changed the spikes into a constantly rotating sharp millstone, which slammed into Mai-senpai's spiritual energy shield, the millstone pressing against the surface of the shield.

Start spinning!
The rapidly spinning millstone emitted a cutting sound as spiritual energy burned, and the bursts of lightning shot out a long string of sparks. Mai-senpai resisted stubbornly for a while, but finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Damn it... this evil spirit actually... knows how to use a millstone...

Bang! The spiritual energy shield protecting Mai-senpai shattered, and several water tentacles firmly gripped her legs, spreading upwards along her thighs, attempting to directly attack the core of her spiritual energy!
No, if that place is invaded... Mai-senpai is powerless to resist at this point and can only place her last hope on Uesugi Muneyuki.

Uesugi! Hurry!
At this moment, Uesugi Muneyuki finally broke through the ice wall. Another Spirit Ball shattered the ice wall along the crack created by Mai-senpai, and he got even closer.

Mariko Hironaka appears, and the cursed spirit of the Odaiba building splits into two clones, with six demonic claws extending simultaneously to cast a spell.

For a fleeting moment, the Rain Woman's figure did indeed slow down, but this did not fundamentally affect her. With a wave of her hand, the rain transformed into a high-pressure water gun, slicing the three Hironaka Marikos in half at the waist. Two of their clones immediately merged into the water and were absorbed by the Rain Woman, while the remaining Hironaka main body screamed and fell to the ground. But at this moment, Uesugi Muneyuki had already approached to within ten meters of the Rain Woman.

He raised his fist, looking ready to fight the Rain Woman to the death. The Rain Woman immediately drew a large water sword from her hand, preparing for close combat.

But Uesugi Muneyuki didn't attack; he simply raised his right hand.

In his right hand, the azurite shone brightly.

The distance is enough!

Soul Pact, activate!
A faint connection linked Uesugi Muneyuki with the Rain Woman. Before she could react, Uesugi Muneyuki immediately said, "We are travelers who have strayed into this place! We were tricked into coming here by those people! It was he who disturbed your peace! He wanted to seize your power! We just want to leave! Let us go, and promise never to come back, to protect the peace of this world!"

"?" The figure in the plain white kimono in the rain suddenly paused.

“It’s true! We meant no offense!” Seeing that the other party had reacted, Uesugi Muneyuki immediately continued, “As someone from this underworld, you should understand that we never intended to offend you. I came here at the request of Ms. Kurosawa Yoko. Do you know her? She is the last shrine maiden of Kurosawa Shrine! We are not with those four people! We are from the Kanto Shrine Alliance, here to inspect this abandoned shrine!”

“?” The Rain Woman listened to Uesugi Muneyuki’s words. The Soul Contract seemed to be working, but the domain was still there. Her cold “gaze” fell on Uesugi and Shirama.

Uesugi Muneyuki forced himself to perform the most solemn samurai samurai salute once again, and Shirama also bowed deeply.

“???” The Rain Woman stood still, seemingly trying to understand Uesugi Muneyuki’s words, and also seemingly considering whether to continue fighting.

Uesugi Muneyuki immediately took another action—he gathered his inner strength and, according to his family's memories, quickly created an exquisite crystal of inner strength in his hand.

The crystal has a deep and warm color, with a deep amber tone and natural, cloud-like deep reddish-brown and golden-brown interwoven textures. One side is slender and upright with an elegant flat oval cross section, while the other side features a cluster of five elegant and smooth pine needles. Below and around the pine needles are patterns of rosy clouds, and below that is a small and exquisite crescent moon. The moon is slender and upper crescent shape with its edges polished as smooth as a mirror and slightly raised.

It was a hairpin!
"Your Highness in the rain, I have always admired your noble aspirations and dignified demeanor. You are truly beautiful and noble, and I hold you in deep respect."

"To express my humble sentiments, I have specially crafted this hairpin. The pine branch on it symbolizes everlasting prosperity, the clouds and mist represent the enduring auspiciousness, and the crescent moon reflects the clear light. It is a sincere expression of wishing Your Highness Yuzhong lasting blessings and eternal peace. I humbly request that Your Highness Yuzhong not reject this small item and accept my sincere heart."

Uesugi spoke very seriously, and in the standard samurai language of the Edo period.

"..." The crystal hairpin formed from her spiritual power instantly attracted the Rain Woman's attention. She stared at the hairpin in Uesugi Muneyuki's hand for a long time before finally flicking her long whip and snatching the hairpin from Uesugi Muneyuki's hand, quickly retracting it into her sleeve.

She spoke.

"You... you can actually talk to me?"

"What Kurosawa Yoko, what Kanto Shrine Alliance, I don't know them. This is the place I chose. I'm waiting here, waiting, waiting for the door to open again."

"Door? What door?" Uesugi Muneyuki asked.

"The gate to Takamagahara, the gate to the Void," the Rain Woman said slowly.

“void?” Uesugi Muneyuki pressed.

"Enough, I hate answering questions," the Rain Woman said coldly, spreading her arms wide. "Just tell me what you're doing here. Don't ask questions, or I'll kill you and her."

"Then at least I need to know how to address you, right?" Uesugi Muneyuki quickly said, "This is the last question!"

"There is a village beauty named Chun."

"Arimura...Kanasumi???"
