Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

This is actually a last resort.

It's because he has such strong connections.

A large group of fourth- and fifth-order beings protected him.

When you try to do something outside, you can easily fail if you're not careful.

The best way is to go to the ruins of Takamagahara.

Because in a sense, this is also the lair of the serpent spirits.

So the Serpent Spirit, through an undercover agent in the Edo Archaeological Bureau, gave Haruhiko a commission.

At the same time, to prevent him from realizing it was a trap, a delay-type spell was used.

Haruhiko couldn't recognize the fourth-tier spells, but given his extraordinary background, he could simply ask a fourth-tier spell master for help.

In this way, he can follow the clues and notice Mizuryūsuke.

At the University of Tokyo, Haruhiko will lose some of his vigilance.

After all, there were two fifth-level students and many teachers and students present.

"I'm just an ordinary third-tier psionicist, why are you arresting me?"

Haruhiko did indeed sabotage the Serpent Spirit's operations, but he was mostly just involved.

He wasn't actually the one who carried it out.

How did the snake spirit notice him?

"We have discovered your relationship with Tsuchimikado Mashiro."

Mizuryusuke didn't hide anything and said, "We want to exchange you for Morikawa Teru."

Teru Morikawa was the fourth-tier divine messenger back then.

It is still in the hands of the Tsuchimikado clan.

They will only make the deal with Kaneda Osamu, the head of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, after they have obtained enough information.

Haruhiko frowned.

If Tsuchimikado Mashiro agrees to the replacement, it will offend the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

It seems we really have to run away.

So, Kaneda Yu and Snake Spirit aren't in cahoots?

"Why are you Serpent Spirits so concerned about Morikawa Teru?"

Haruhiko recalled his previous guess and asked.

"No comment."

Shuilongfu shook his head slightly.

"Does he possess the consciousness of a god?"

Haruhiko narrowed his eyes and asked.

Shuilongfu was stunned.

He looked at Haruhiko with a shocked expression on his face.

But soon, he realized something.

"The destruction of the Tiandian Nüming Ruins was actually your doing."

Mizuryu took a deep breath and said, "It seems that capturing you was indeed the right choice."

Are you really that confident you can catch me?

Qingyan winked at Baishuang, signaling it to run away.

"I know you have a way to escape."

Mizuryusuke chuckled and said, "But this is the Takamagahara Ruins, and you cannot return to the surface."

Haruhiko was silent.

He's actually right.

Even the Butterfly Ring given to her by Tsuchimikado Mari can only be used for teleportation within the Takamagahara Ruins.

To return, arrangements must be made in advance.

Just like how the Serpent Spirit teleported him to the ruins of Takamagahara, it was a teleportation array that had been laid beforehand.

Moreover, most of them are expensive to build.

Qingyan wasn't actually worried about himself; he was worried about Bai Shuang.

But Bai Shuang was also hesitant at this moment.

It was unaware that Haruhiko had a game cheat called player spawn point.

It will be very difficult to escape if you don't reveal your true strength.

"Okay, the chat is over."

Shui Longfu clapped his hands, and a surge of spiritual energy rose from him, instantly forming a semi-transparent protective shield.

Haruhiko looked him up and down, but couldn't tell what kind of spell it was.

After all, he was only at the third level.

"It's a time-related spell."

Bai Shuang suddenly spoke up to explain, "It has the ability to rewind spells, but it is only effective against low-level psionicists."

Haruhiko immediately understood.

If he uses a spell, it will be reversed and he will be unable to cast it.

In simpler gaming terms, it's called increasing skill cooldown time.

For example, a third-tier spell theoretically requires six seconds, but within this protective shield, it takes twelve seconds.

"I advise you to surrender."

Shui Longfu raised his hand and said, "Why bother struggling when you are two third-tier psionicists?"

Two third-order?

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

Didn't he realize that Bai Shuang was a fourth-tier great demon?

It’s weird.

Logically speaking, psionicists of the same level should be able to sense each other.

The likelihood of them admitting their mistake is relatively small.

Unless they are not of the same level, or possess special spiritual tools.

Haruhiko prefers the latter.

But regardless, this is a positive thing.

Shui Longfu assumed they were all at the third tier, so he naturally didn't take them seriously.

"Bai Shuang, leave on your own, don't worry about me."

Haruhiko spoke up, "I have a way."

"Insanity!"

Shuilongfu snorted coldly and, without further ado, launched an attack.

Dark purple mist gushed out.

Without any chanting, the spell took shape directly.

A giant python materialized before Haruhiko.

It roared to the sky, and an invisible wave spread out.

Haruhiko felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his body stiffening.

It is a sound wave-based spell.

Moreover, Shui Longfu is also a divine messenger.

This is where things get a bit complicated.

However, he can still use the player's spawn point.

The problem is that Bai Shuang hasn't left.

Haruhiko was somewhat speechless.

Is now the time to be stubborn?

Just then, a white light flashed.

Haruhiko's eyes widened.
