Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 225 Information
"Information about that fox..."

In the teacher's dormitory, Reiko Sasaki was kneeling beside the low table. After she understood Yang Liu's purpose, her face showed no expression.

"You came to our house late at night just to find out about this?"

Yang Liu raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you know some information."

"If you ask me, I know. The best thing about the Yujin family is controlling shikigami. The nine-tailed fox is the best among all the demons, and it is a special demon that is born with some of the characteristics of artificial gods. My grandfather and several previous family heads were very envious of the nine-tailed fox in Yongfu Temple when they were alive."

After exchanging a glance with Koizumi Ling, Yang Liu simply got straight to the point: "Then Mr. Sasaki, can you tell me in detail about the information related to the nine-tailed fox?"

"It's not that I can't tell you, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Sasaki Reiko said expressionlessly as she slowly took a sip of tea. "The origin of that nine-tailed fox is unknown. We only know that she has existed on Noko Island for at least a hundred years and was once the guardian spirit of Eifukuji Temple."

Yang Liu was thoughtful. It seemed that what Uga Shoji saw in the illusion was not false.

"Then why is she attacking humans now? And how did she become like that?" Koizumi Ling couldn't help but ask.

Sasaki Reiko put down her teacup and sighed, "I don't know much about this matter. According to the records in the family, forty years ago, the predecessor of Yongfu Temple, that is, the predecessor's uncle, Uga Yoshihito, suddenly had close contacts with a group of researchers who came from nowhere. They eventually conducted some kind of experiment on the guardian spirit of Yongfu Temple: the nine-tailed fox."

"Experiment?" Yang Liu's eyelids twitched when she heard this word and she had a bad feeling.

Sasaki Reiko looked at him and smiled. "Although the other party's purpose was top secret at the time, after so many years, we can almost guess it. That group of people should be the researchers involved in the initial stage of the God-making Project."

"Knew it……"

Yang Liu pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a headache. He always felt that this god-making plan was like a manure-making machine that sprayed manure everywhere. From time to time, he could find traces of the other party's "manure smearing on the wall" on a certain wall.

Not only is it disgusting, but it is also difficult to deal with.

"Can't the Japanese government be a little more helpful and remove these messes before leaving?!"

Sasaki Reiko showed a mocking expression: "After all, they are a bunch of losers who can't even commit seppuku to apologize. Moreover, they were driven out by us back then. I'm afraid they would rather leave more trouble for us!"

"But... Yongfu Temple was actually the earliest test site for the God-making Project? I remember that the God-making Project failed because it was stopped by the previous abbot of Yongfu Temple, Uga Norihiko?"

“So this is called having a beginning and an end.”

Sasaki Reiko smiled and stood up. She walked to the bookshelf next to her, pushed aside the first layer of books, and took out a yellowed file from the hidden compartment at the back:

"This is my family's record of that period forty years ago. As the oldest Onmyoji family in Fukuoka, the Yujin family has the responsibility to record all supernatural-related events in the area under its command."

She sat back at the low table, opened the file and placed it in front of Yang Liu, pointing to a page of text: "According to the records, forty years ago, Yongfu Temple suddenly received a huge amount of research funding, and at the same time, a group of people in military uniforms frequently entered and exited the temple. But three months later, the spiritual power field of the entire Noko Island fluctuated violently, and the aura of the nine-tailed fox became extremely weak."

"The research failed?" Yang Liu touched his chin. Sasaki Reiko nodded: "Strictly speaking... it failed due to interference. The military originally wanted to use the nine-tailed fox's natural half-artificial god characteristics to conduct research, but the research process was probably quite radical, so Uga Yoshihito tricked them.

Although there is no relevant detailed information, Uga Yoshihito died inexplicably that year. The position of the abbot of Yongfuji Temple was transferred to Uga Noriyoshi, and the people sent by the military on the island disappeared overnight.

So I guess it was Uga Yoshihito who stopped the experiment and silenced the witnesses. In the process, the nine-tailed fox was severely injured and lost most of its strength, so it had to start absorbing human energy to survive. "

"I always feel like you know so much, and you seem to have known what the fox did a long time ago." Yang Liu looked at the information in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"As for Onmyoji, they have been doing this job since ancient times. In the past, they could help calculate the weather and observe astronomy. However, in modern times, their only function left is to record history." Reiko Sasaki spread her hands, showing no regrets about the decline of Onmyoji.

"As for that fox demon, although she absorbs human energy, she has never really harmed civilians, so we don't bother to care about her. If my father were still alive, he might want to take her in as a shikigami. If it's just me... forget it."

Yang Liu nodded and fell into deep thought.

There was silence in the room for a moment, until Sasaki Moya reminded everyone that it was time to go to school, and Yang Liu came back to her senses.

"Teacher Sasaki, do you know any more information? After all, judging from what happened last night, the fox demon's condition seems to be getting worse."

Sasaki Reiko shook her head regretfully: "That's all I know. After all, I haven't had direct contact with the parties involved in this matter, and I don't know the inside story. But..."

"What?" Yang Liu was a little expectant.

"I know exactly where the troops were stationed on the island. It was an abandoned observation station deep in the mountains. It was probably another important location for the experiment. If you want to know more information, you can go there and investigate."

"Thank you very much."

Yang Liu smiled and nodded, then stood up: "Thank you so much for troubling you today. It's getting late today, so let's go to school first."

"Let's go, let's go." Reiko Sasaki also stood up, picked up her backpack and walked towards the door.

Outside, the weather, which had been sunny in the early morning, turned gloomy again.

"The rainy season in the south is really troublesome." Yang Liu sighed and took two quick steps to return to school before it rained.

Before leaving, he turned back to look at Sasaki Reiko: "By the way, there is one more thing, do you know the name of the fox demon?"

Sasaki Reiko was silent for a moment: "Kurama Yuki, this is the honorific name given to her by the villagers back then. For this reason, she has guarded Noko Island for hundreds of years."
