Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

For example, new spells.

Its copyright belongs to the University of Tokyo.

However, researchers are allowed to use it for free, and they will be paid equivalent compensation.

the reason is simple.

The emergence of a new spell signifies that the University of Tokyo has gained another layer of depth.

The man and the fox quickly arrived at the research building where Shui Longfu was located.

Haruhiko pressed the doorbell.

A moment later, the door opened and a middle-aged man in a white coat came out.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Looking at the unfamiliar Haruhiko, Mizuki asked with some confusion.

"Professor Suiryu, hello."

Haruhiko introduced himself with a smile, "I am a member of the Edo Archaeological Bureau's Exploration Department. I am here to ask about Takashi Matsushita."

"Matsushita Takashi?"

A look of reminiscence crossed Mizutsugu's face. "He was my former assistant, but he has resigned. You should go directly to him."

"He was murdered yesterday."

Haruhiko asked directly, "Do you know?"

"do not know."

Mizuki shook his head and said, "I've been in the research building all this time, and there are many people who can testify to that. Besides, if I really wanted to kill him, I wouldn't let anyone know."

In fact, this was also what puzzled Haruhiko.

For a fourth-tier psionicist, destroying the body and eliminating evidence is far too easy.

Why make it so complicated?

Is it a trap?

But something doesn't feel right.

Delayed spells are extremely difficult to detect.

Haruhiko would not have been able to find Mizuryusuke without Shirashi's help.

Takashi Matsushita is only a second-tier psychic.

The Edo Archaeological Bureau will not assign fourth or fifth-level investigators to conduct investigations.

It's a waste of talent.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to find the truth either.

It is highly likely to remain an unsolved case.

If it's a trap, then it should be made simple.

Is it specifically targeting me?

Haruhiko then thought of another possibility.

"Any question?"

Suiryusuke asked calmly, "If not, then don't disturb my research."

"Takashi Matsushita died from a time-delay spell."

Haruhiko stared at his face and said.

He looked somewhat surprised after hearing this.

But there was no panic of discovering the truth.

"At the University of Tokyo, there are quite a few psychics who have mastered time-delay spells."

Shuilongfu frowned slightly and said, "Perhaps it's my group of assistants."

"You mean it's related to your research on sorcery? But can you really learn it in a month?"

Haruhiko didn't quite believe it.

The assistants he recruited were all at the second rank.

The time-delay spells he studied were of the fourth tier.

Even he, as a player, couldn't possibly learn it, let alone anyone else.

"Anything is possible, isn't it?"

Shui Longfu remained unfazed and asked in return.

"Professor Shuilong, could you show me your research?"

Haruhiko wanted to see it in person.

Of course, the main thing is to rely on the white frost to see if anything can be found.

"Research on sorcery is top secret. If you want to see it, you have to apply to the University of Tokyo."

Mizutsugu spoke in a businesslike manner.

"no problem."

Haruhiko took out his phone and dialed Aizawa Kaoru's number.

After saying a few words, he handed it over to Mizuryu-suke.

To his astonishment, he received Aizawa Kaoru's request to let him pass.

"I underestimated you."

Mizuki handed the phone back and said, "Since it's the principal's order, come with me."

He turned and walked upstairs.

Haruhiko followed closely behind and soon arrived at the research lab.

It was different from what he remembered.

Information is everywhere.

Haruhiko looked around but didn't find anything wrong.

He glanced at Bai Shuang and asked, "May I see?"

"can."

Shuilongfu pointed to the bookshelf on the left and said, "If you want to learn more, you can start there."

"Thank you."

Haruhiko stepped forward and picked up a document.

The moment he made contact, countless streams of spiritual energy surged forth from all around.

Bai Shuang's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly ran to his feet.

The next moment, the man and the fox disappeared.

A strong sense of spatial distortion came over me.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in an unfamiliar underground space.

There are jade lights on the wall.

The air was thick with psionic energy and the stench of decay.

"The second level of the Takamagahara Ruins".

Haruhiko confirmed his location, turned around, and looked at the figure not far away.

It was Shui Longfu.

"Professor Suiryu, could you explain this?"

Haruhiko asked calmly.

His player spawn point is still usable, so it's not a big problem.

It's just that Bai Shuang came along, which is a little troublesome.

Because players cannot bring other players with them at their spawn point.

Fortunately, he is a fourth-tier psionicist, so his chances of escaping are high.

"Nice to meet you, let me reintroduce myself."

Shui Longfu smiled faintly and said, "I am a member of the Serpent Spirit."

"A snake spirit?"

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised, but not much. "I am deeply honored that you went to such great lengths to capture me."

Shui Longfu remained silent.
