Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 33 The Real Collapse Begins
It was already dark, and in order to catch the next bus, Yang Liu put on her clothes and ran quickly.

But when he was about to leave the mountain, he suddenly stopped.

"What? A stake?"

Although there is no lighting equipment in this deep forest, with Yang Liu's current vision, even with the help of the faint moonlight and starlight in the sky, he can see the mountain road clearly.

So when Yang Liu discovered man-made objects in this mountain, he stopped when they were far away.

There were two wooden stakes, and there seemed to be a rope connected in the middle.

Yang Liu did not approach rashly, but searched the surrounding trees carefully, and only moved forward cautiously after confirming that there were indeed no cameras.

After getting closer, Yang Liu discovered that there were not just two tree stumps, but there were more tree stumps standing farther away, and the stumps were connected by a thick rope.

“Is this… a shimenawa?”

【Shimenawa】

The so-called Shimenawa is a type of rope commonly used in shrines. It generally refers to a straw rope with a white zigzag "Gohei" hanging on it.

This thing is quite common in shrines. It represents the boundary of sacred objects and usually appears on torii gates, sacred trees or near certain special stones.

But now, such a thing appeared in this inconspicuous hill, and it seemed to surround the entire hill.

Considering the concept that Shimenawa represents in the shrine, it is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

After a careful inspection of Yang Liu, he also found the problem. The forest area surrounded by the Shimenawa seemed a bit empty, while the trees in the area outside that were much more lush.

Considering that the main reason why the trees in this area are empty is because there is a super-large wild boar wreaking havoc in it, the purpose of this shimenawa is intriguing.

"So, this thing is really used to stop that wild boar?"

There was a gleam in Yang Liu's eyes, and what this represented was very interesting.

Given the strength of the wild boar, even though the rope was thick, it was impossible to stop it.

Since there is no "physical" blocking effect, and the lushness of the trees on both sides indicates that it is very useful, then it can only be a "supernatural" reason.

"No wonder there have been no reports of sightings of this wild boar. So this is what happened."

Turning on the flashlight on her cell phone, Yang Liu took a closer look and discovered that although the ropes looked old, they were not too rotten.

"It seems that no one has been here for a long time, but it won't be too long."

After all, it is a straw rope woven with straw, and it will rot quickly in the natural environment if no one maintains it.

Although the shimenawa ropes found by Yang Liu were covered with ashes, they showed no signs of severe decay.

This is a good thing for Yang Liu, as it shows that the unknown force pays very limited attention to this place.

I'm afraid that for that force, this wild boar is probably just an accidentally born experiment. They are not sure whether it is useful or not, so they are temporarily releasing it for observation.

Yang Liu did not touch the ropes, but jumped up directly and tried to climb over the barrier formed by the shimenawa ropes, but she climbed over it very easily.

"There is no feeling of obstruction, and everything is normal in my body."

Yang Liu looked back at the sparse forest behind him. "So it's a seal specifically targeting that wild boar? Japan's supernatural power has this ability. This is good information."

Without delaying any further, Yang Liu continued running towards the bus stop.

Finally, after running as hard as she could, she got on the last bus back to the city. Sitting in the window seat, Yang Liu quietly looked at the mountains gradually moving away from her outside the bus, with the light of the street lamps reflected in her eyes.

……

……

After returning home, Yang Liu was quiet for several days.

I did almost nothing but focus on replenishing my body with nutrients.

In layman's terms, it means eating a lot.

After all, he had earned a lot of gold light when searching the hunting ground before, and with the gold light provided by the evil spirit, water ghost and the wild boar, the strengthening progress that he had "filled" with great difficulty was emptied again.

Having seen so much trouble, and considering that he might be involved in a new vortex.

Yang Liu decided to first complete the strengthening progress and let his physical strength reach its true peak before considering other things.

In addition to the previous exercise in the mountains, although there was nothing too thrilling in the battle, it was after all carrying half a ton of objects over mountains and across rivers, and the fat reserves that Yang Liu had accumulated with great difficulty were once again depleted.

No matter what happens in the future, only if Yang Liu has enough strength will he have the confidence to deal with the troubles that may come.

And although he was inexplicably implicated this time, Yang Liu did not gain nothing. In addition to the golden light, he also obtained a lot of useful information.

"At least we know that Japan's supernatural forces should be quite good at creating barriers or other barrier-like abilities. We must be prepared if we really encounter them in the future." Yang Liu habitually summarized his findings in his notebook.

"In addition, the shrine in Fukuoka is likely involved in the events on Mount Mikazuki. The evil spirits and ghost kings in the lake may also be related to the shrine..."

Recalling the unknown number of water ghosts, Yang Liu frowned deeply.

"If it's really related to the things in the lake, it will be very troublesome, so during this time in Fukuoka, it's better to avoid getting close to things related to the shrine as much as possible."

At this point, Yang Liu recalled the spoils he had seized when he dealt with the chimera evil spirit in this house.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Liu decided to keep it.

The main thing is that the priest at the shrine must have known about it when he placed the sacred object, so even if I threw it to him secretly, I can't escape suspicion.

It would be better to stay here. If one day I really have to deal with the shrine, I can do so as a practitioner with some special powers who specializes in renovating haunted houses.

If you are too cautious, it might arouse their suspicion.

Yang Liu's two biggest problems right now are the trouble in Tokyo where no one knows the mastermind, and the unknown force in Fukuoka that is causing trouble on Mt. Mikazuki.

As long as these two problems are not exposed, he feels that he can appropriately reveal some of his own situation.

"Wait a minute? Up to now, I don't know what kind of enemies I will face in the future, right?!"

Looking at the information summarized in the notebook, Yang Liu felt his mentality somewhat broken.

"Damn it, everything is going wrong... Professor, please reply to my letter as soon as possible!"

Sighing out of habit, Yang Liu tore off the page from the notebook.

After tearing it into pieces, soak it in water until it becomes a paste before throwing it away.
