Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 195 Strategy (None at all)
Twenty-five years ago, at the Goshin family dojo.

Today is the day that seven-year-old Reiko Gokami learns to make paper puppet shikigami. As soon as the instruction course ended, she excitedly found Sosuke Gokami who was practicing magic in the dojo.

Seeing the little girl running a little crookedly because of her young age, Mikami Sosuke, who was a little tired from practicing magic, smiled and squatted to greet her: "Reiko, how was your study today?"

"Brother... give! A gift!"

Reiko Mikami made an indistinct sound, tightly clutching a paper shikigami that looked a little crooked in her hand.

"A gift? For me?"

Mikami Sosuke took the paper doll with a smile. On the missing wing, Mikami Reiko's crooked handwriting was written: "Oni-chanhe"

"It's so beautiful, I will keep it forever!"

"hey-hey……"

……

……

Fifteen years ago.

The wooden sword split the morning mist, and the grown-up Gojin Sosuke fell to his knees, panting.

He had just completed a perfect reproduction of the family ritual "One Hundred Demons Night Parade". Hundreds of paper puppet shikigami were arranged in a magic circle within the barrier. The degree of completion was so exquisite that even the picky elders nodded slightly.

After recovering some strength, Sosuke Yugami couldn't wait to raise his head and look in a certain direction. The current head of the Yugami family was standing there, looking at his results with an expressionless face.

"Not bad, but unfortunately, it's just a trick." The patriarch nodded and shook his head, and then left without hesitation, "Try hard, you are still too weak!"

……

……

On the north side of Nokonoshima Island, inside the abandoned tide observatory.

The interior of the abandoned observatory became brightly lit, and the military set up a defense line using the observatory and the coast as bases.

In the underground laboratory of the observatory, Mikami Sosuke opened his eyes expressionlessly as his wrist watch vibrated: "What a... boring dream..."

I glanced at the time and found that I had only slept for less than an hour.

Nodding with satisfaction, Sosuke Mikami turned on the monitor in front of him, which was showing the situation on the coast.

The waves of Nokonoshima Island rushed towards the shore, carrying fluorescent lights. The beach was filled with red pillars with military induction symbols hanging on them.

The talisman paper exuded a bituminous substance under the moonlight, simulating human vitality and attracting vengeful spirits around the island to come closer like moths to a flame.

The moment a drowned ghost touched the red pillar at the bottom of the sea, it was sucked in by the talisman with a scream, and then absorbed by the divine tool in the center of the red pillar and transformed into pure spiritual energy.

Then, under the guidance of the magic circle on the pillar, the spiritual energy will be collected and infused into the robots stored in the underground space of the observatory.

One by one, the crudely shaped robots' eyes lit up.

"What's the situation with the metal shikigami?" asked Sosuke Yujin with a cold expression.

Another monitor suddenly lit up, and the face of the military researcher was cut into pieces by the data stream on the screen:

"The state of the metal shikigami is quite stable. Using paper puppets as the core is indeed useful. The only drawback is that collecting ghosts requires relying on divine tools. Even the military can only produce more than 50." Mikami Sosuke shook his head: "It's not stable enough. Using paper puppets to manipulate metal bodies will bring a great burden and consume a lot of spiritual energy. It will be damaged due to overload after a few uses. This problem must be solved, otherwise the shikigami army will never be popularized... Are there any other situations?"

The researcher looked down at the document in his hand and said, “Yes, for some reason, the ghost activity around Noko Island is extremely low.

We have been lurking here for about a week, but the number of ghosts we have collected is quite limited, and most of them are collected from the sea. There are almost no ghosts from the island. "

"It seems that the supernatural forces on this island are quite 'diligent'." Yujin Zongjie sneered, then waved his hand and leaned back in his chair.

“Forget it. I didn’t come here to collect raw materials. The current number of metal shikigami is enough... Notify me after all the metal shikigami I brought here are activated.”

"Yes!"

After turning off the monitor, Sosuke Yujin looked up at the ceiling panel in a daze, then he straightened up and took out a vacuum-sealed paper shikigami from the secret compartment of the operating table next to him.

Looking at the crooked handwriting on it, Yujin Zongjie's eyes were gloomy and uncertain.

On the hillside on the north side of Nokonoshima, Yang Liu and Sasaki Reiko, who had changed into white hunting robes, stood in the shadow of the jungle, looking far away at the abandoned observation station in the distance.

"Damn it, I was wondering why there were so many ghosts on the island in recent days, it turns out it was these bastards who did it."

Looking at the red pillar stuck in the beach that constantly attracted ghosts, Yang Liu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Reiko Sasaki didn't say anything. She formed seals with her hands and closed her eyes as she cast some magic. Her shikigami had already hidden himself and gone to investigate, and she was now connecting her vision with the other party.

Compared to an ignorant guy like Yang Liu, Reiko Sasaki, as a top Onmyoji, can see more.

"Tsk! As expected of the military, they are so wealthy and powerful. Those pillars are full of cursed tools..."

"Spell tools?" Yang Liu subconsciously touched the long saber on his neck. "I heard that this thing is very precious. To display so many spell tools at once, it really takes a lot of strength."

Having said that, Yang Liu doesn't really care about these things.

As for the "filters", one is enough. He can't use spiritual power, so these things are a waste in his hands.

As for exchanging it for resources, it seems to be of some use. However, after being in the supernatural world for so long, even after consulting professionals like Reiko Sasaki, Yang Liu just couldn't find any supernatural resources suitable for himself.

Instead of spending all that time getting precious extraordinary resources, it would be better to get a few more cans of protein powder and stew.

If you insist, ghosts might count as one, but under normal circumstances, killing ghosts doesn't cost any money, so Yang Liu inexplicably found that he really didn't seem to need much resources.

"Alas...it turns out that I am a frugal transcendent..." Yang Liu sighed towards the sky.

"What are you mumbling over there?"

"Nothing, any ideas?" Yang Liu immediately put on a serious expression.

"To be honest, there's no other way. The other party is a professional soldier, so at least there won't be any loopholes in their defense. I didn't dare explore the deeper area, otherwise I would easily be discovered by that guy." Reiko Sasaki shook her head and sighed.

"What should I do?"

"I'm afraid we can only attack head-on."

"Ah? Attacking a military camp? Just the two of us?"
