Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Theoretically, it can allow an ordinary person to kill a fifth-tier powerhouse with a curse.

Forbidden techniques related to gods are indeed quite powerful.

"This matter has come to a perfect end."

Takahashi Kisaragi said, "But you should also be careful. Given Utsunomiya Mina's current situation, who knows what she might do."

"I will."

Haruhiko withdrew his gaze and asked again, "What's the Edo Archaeological Bureau doing?"

He had just noticed that Mina Utsunomiya had mentioned the Tsuchimikado clan to Yu Kaneda.

They had fought before, and the traces of their battle were easily traced.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Takahashi Kisaragi smiled slightly and said, "The head of the family has already made a deal with Kaneda Yu."

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

I underestimated Tachibana Yui.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; it's impossible to completely erase one's own presence.

The best solution is to reach an agreement with the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

If she doesn't see the person, even if Mina Utsunomiya tries to defend herself, she will be accused of framing someone.

After all, there is no evidence.

After this blow, Mina Utsunomiya's Tenquan Curse Enhancement has dropped, and she will most likely not possess the strength of the fifth tier.

Haruhiko could imagine the reactions of other forces, especially since she herself had offended quite a few people.

In short, her better days are yet to come.

"Let's go."

After thinking for a moment, Takahashi Kisaragi said, "Since we're already here, let's participate in the cleanup of the ruins and get a reward."

Is there anything else inside the ruins?

Haruhiko knew she wasn't referring to the Snake God Ruins, but rather the one that had tricked Mina Utsunomiya.

"There are quite a few."

Takahashi Kisaragi explained, "Master, we only took a few items; the rest were left untouched. This was partly to mislead Utsunomiya Mina and partly to give the Edo Archaeological Bureau an explanation."

"clear."

Haruhiko followed her away, and on the way he asked again, "That ruin was an ancient battlefield, wasn't it?"

"Ah."

Takahashi Kisaragi said with a smile, "Ancient battlefields are the most convenient relics, but there are more spirits there."

Haruhiko understood.

Ancient battlefields don't have many intricate details, such as traps or magic arrays.

However, because the battlefield is filled with unnatural deaths, it nurtures incredibly powerful spirits.

However, it has already been cleaned up by Mina Utsunomiya.

The rest is free.

According to the rules of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, participating in such a large site can at least yield two magical artifacts or magical energy materials.

Haruhiko could just exchange for the materials he needed to advance to the third tier.

There are seven types in total, and he is still missing five.

Upon returning to the ruins, Mina Utsunomiya and Yu Kaneda were no longer there.

But the number of people has increased significantly.

Four teams from the Exploration Department, totaling about a hundred people, arrived and were busy running around.

"Come with me, I'll teach you how to clean up the ruins."

Takahashi Kisaragi led Haruhiko deeper into the area.

Everywhere there were scattered bones, armor, and weapons.

Their task is to find usable psionic tools or psionic materials.

Needless to say, magical artifacts are everywhere.

Psionic materials refer to medicinal herbs or spirit stones that are difficult to find elsewhere, which can be found in the special environment of this ancient battlefield.

Haruhiko saw quite a few good things while following Takahashi Kisaragi.

Unfortunately, I can't take any of them.

He finally understood why some people would risk everything to become survivors.

The benefits are truly tempting.

a new day.

Haruhiko has finished his brief archaeological work and it's time to return to the surface.

However, he had a good harvest, directly exchanging all five types of advanced materials.

Because this advanced material was of the second tier, he obtained two more types.

With the addition of new achievements, it's practically free.

As for Mina Utsunomiya, he didn't contribute much.

But the goal has been achieved; now it's up to her to struggle.

We still used the teleportation array to get back.

The only difference was that the exit point was another building.

"how do you feel?"

He was accompanied by Yasuhiro Ishikawa.

Kisara Takahashi usually doesn't leave.

After all, she's the captain.

Leaving is a very complicated process.

Even ordinary members like Haruhiko had to go through several checks before they were allowed to leave.

"Quite interesting."

Haruhiko replied.

"That's good."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa said with a smile, "Some people are not used to life in the Takamagahara ruins because there are too many rules. There have been people who went there once and came back and immediately resigned."

After chatting for a bit, Haruhiko casually made up an excuse and left alone.

When he arrived at a certain street, he saw Tsuchimikado Mari's red car.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko stepped forward, opened the car door, and skillfully got into the passenger seat.

"It appears to be intact and without any problems."

Tsuchimikado Mari reached out and ruffled his hair twice, then pinched his cheek, and said.

"I wasn't in any danger."

Haruhiko fastened his seatbelt and asked, "But you and Aunt Mashiro, are you injured?"

"No."

"We took advantage of the chaos when Mina Utsunomiya was fighting those evil spirits," Mari Tsuchimikado said casually.

Haruhiko could imagine the terrifying scene that would unfold if two fifth-tier psychic chose to launch a sneak attack.

However, there's nothing wrong with evil people using evil methods to deal with each other.

What to do next?

Haruhiko asked curiously.

"nibbling away".

Mari Tsuchimikado explained, "After the Tsuchimikado clan makes their move, the other factions will cooperate in a tacit manner."

It's like the Tsuchimikado clan eating meat, while they drank soup.

Haruhiko nodded.

When Mina Utsunomiya can't hold on any longer, he can make a deal with her and get the details of her parents' disappearance out of her.

"Mari-neechan".

Qingyan remembered the Serpent God's Nine Revolutions Spirit Descent and asked, "The ruins that Captain Ruyue and I explored had eighty-one pieces of third-tier snake skin. Can we buy them?"
