Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 227 Encounter
Yang Liu and Uga Zhaoji looked at each other and both felt the situation was a bit tricky.

After questioning the two people, Yang Liu confirmed that he could not get any useful information from them.

These people are just mercenaries, and the mission they received is just to stay here and conduct observations when the time is right. They are not even extraordinary people.

However, the hired man called Professor Kageyama was not here, and they did not know his location. They only received orders through the Internet.

Just in case, Yang Liu simply broke into the room where the mercenaries were and knocked them out one by one. After questioning by Uga Shoji, he confirmed that it was the same as what the two men said.

"It looks like there is indeed no more news. This is just a monitoring point."

Yang Liu looked at a small device in his hand. This should be the only gain of this operation and also the main protection target of those people.

Yang Liu took a few looks at it but couldn't figure out what it was, so she handed it to Yuga Zhaoji for inspection.

"It should be some kind of monitoring device." Uga Shoji said after studying it, "It is used to monitor a certain kind of spiritual power fluctuation. If I'm not mistaken, their monitoring target should be the nine-tailed fox Kurama Yuki."

"It seems that these people are the ones who want to capture the fox demon." Yang Liu was a little confused, "But if Professor Yingshan wanted to capture the fox demon, why didn't he take action for so many years?"

Uga Shoji fell into deep thought: "I'm not too sure about this, maybe... they are waiting for something, or they need Kurama Yuki to be in a certain state to complete the plan."

Yang Liu immediately thought of the data that Uga Shoji had given him, which showed that the frequency of "disappearances" on Noko Island was getting faster and faster, which meant that the condition of the Nine-tailed Fox Kurama Yuki was getting worse and worse.

Combining the information that Yuga Zhaoji heard before the end of the illusion, Yang Liu had an idea:
"That is to say... Professor Kageyama is very likely to have been weakening Kurama Yuki's power in some way, and once she is weakened to a certain extent, he can completely control her?"

"It's very likely. Given the special nature of the nine-tailed fox, if you want to completely control it, you can only wait until her strength weakens to a certain extent, unless she is willing." Uga Akiji nodded.

"Tsk! What a troublesome bunch of guys."

Yang Liu made a "tsk" sound and reached out to crush the monitor: "Let's go, after such a long time, someone should have noticed that something happened here."

"it is good!"

After silencing the remaining half-dead mercenaries, Yang Liu asked Yuga Zhaoji to use magic to clean up all the traces here, and the two of them left quietly.

……

……

Unable to collect suitable information during this trip, Uga Shoji could only go back to the temple to look for other information.

Taking a look at the sun at noon, Yang Liu suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to do.

After thinking for a while, he turned and walked towards the hill behind the school.

Koizumi Ling said that she saw a woman in white in the hills behind the school. Although she is not sure whether she is still there, she might as well search for her since she has nothing to do.

With this thought in mind, Yang Liu quickly stepped into the forest.

"…What's this? Am I just lucky?" Yang Liu looked up at the sky helplessly at the scene in front of him.

The ancient trees on the back mountain rustled, and the dense shade blocked the sun, leaving only golden beams of light.

The snow-white figure curled up in the tangled tree roots not far away made Yang Liu stop suddenly - the kimono was tattered like a broken butterfly, the three fox tails were stained with indigo blood, and the pointed ears were missing half. However, such an embarrassed appearance did not damage the appearance of the person in front of him, but made his delicate face like a girl have a little more shabby beauty.

When the fox demon saw Yang Liu, she didn't care at first, until she realized that Yang Liu was staring at her, she realized something was wrong.

The fox demon forcibly moved her severely injured body left and right, and when she found that Yang Liu's line of sight moved with her body, she was finally convinced that the human in front of her was somehow able to break through the illusion she had set and see her true self.

"Human, don't come over here!"

The girl bared her fangs and opened her hands to show her sharp claws, trying to make herself look as threatening as possible: "I'll tear you apart if you dare to come close!"

Blinking her eyes, Yang Liu looked at the seriously injured fox demon in front of her and the three tails behind her. She was not sure whether the childish creature in front of her was the legendary fox demon that had guarded Noko Island for hundreds of years.

"You are... Kurama Yuki?"

"It's me! Human, if you don't retreat quickly, you will incur the curse of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!"

Looking at the fox demon in front of her with bared fangs and claws, Yang Liu smacked her lips, feeling as if she was hallucinating the dog from her hometown.

I subconsciously felt around my body, but only pulled out a pack of Dorayaki that I bought at the convenience store yesterday.

Looking at the fox demon staring at him, Yang Liu raised her hand to indicate that she was not a threat, and threw the dorayaki in her hand towards the fox demon: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

A threatening growl came from the depths of Kurama Yuki's throat, but her tail honestly rolled up the cake.

He sniffed the Dorayaki with a suspicious look, and after confirming that the human in front of him had not put any drugs in it, he tore open the package and gobbled it up.

Taking advantage of the moment when her attention was diverted, Yang Liu quickly observed her body and easily saw the chrysanthemum-shaped mark on the back of her neck - it was exactly the same as the mark on the stone tablet in the underground secret room of Yongfu Temple.

"You really are Kurama Yuki." Yang Liu squatted three steps away from her, trying to reduce the pressure of her body size as much as possible. "There are only three tails left. It looks like you are seriously injured."

As if stimulated by Yang Liu's words, the fox demon who had just swallowed the Dorayaki suddenly jumped up.

The sharp claws on the fingers flashed a sharp cold light in the sunlight, but they could only stop half an inch away from Yang Liu's throat.

"Don't be so anxious. I told you I have no ill will towards you."

Yang Liu pinched the other person's wrist with two fingers, and her expression did not change at all when facing the sharp claws so close.

Then he frowned involuntarily, because Yang Liu could clearly feel a suction force targeting vitality continuously flowing out of the other person's body.

In other words, Yang Liu has ultimate control over her body and can stabilize her vitality. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with the fox demon in front of him, he would probably go into shock on the spot.

"Is your condition already so bad?"

This power to absorb the essence of others is considered a "privilege" of fox demons. It also means that the fox demon in front of him is in extremely poor condition and his body is on the verge of collapse, which is why this ability is out of control.
