Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He hadn't talked to Morikawa Teru during this time because he was worried that Morikawa would notice something was wrong.

Asking too many questions right from the start would be too obvious.

By working hard to drill through the hole to rescue people, as they are doing now, they can minimize Morikawa Teru's vigilance.

Half a day later, Haruhiko finally got his chance.

"With your current strength, escaping is impossible."

Teru Morikawa spoke up first.

Haruhiko naturally knew this.

The reason he was able to remain so calm was for this reason.

“Since you happen to know the language of the serpent god, I can teach you a spell.”

Teru Morikawa explained, "It's called the Hidden Serpent, and it can help you leave."

Haruhiko's eyes brightened slightly.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

"Please teach me, Lord Hui!"

He showed his excitement at the opportune moment.

"Listen carefully."

Teru Morikawa nodded slightly and began chanting the incantation.

Haruhiko's body trembled.

A flood of information rushed through his mind.

Is this the magic of the serpent god's language?

The next second, a notification sound rang out.

[Serpent God - Shadow Serpent: Summons a swarm of serpents lurking in the shadows for your command.]

[Note: This is a special inheritance; although it is a third-tier spell, its cost and power are actually equivalent to a fourth-tier spell.]

According to this theory, no matter what level of magic the Yamata no Orochi uses, it is automatically one level higher than a human.

It is indeed incredibly powerful.

Of course, this does not mean that other gods are the same.

There are too many gods in Japan, and many of them are just average.

Only Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and others are true gods.

"You have good talent."

Seeing that he was learning very quickly, Morikawa Teru said, "When I get out, I can grant you the status of a divine messenger."

"Thank you, Master Hui!"

Haruhiko said excitedly.

"It doesn't matter."

Morikawa Teru said with a faint smile, "My lord has always valued and used talented people."

Although he had already trusted Haruhiko, he still did not reveal his true identity.

Orochi is currently in a weakened state.

The loss of each fragment of spirit will worsen the injury.

He needs to survive as much as possible.

Fortunately, as a manifestation of a deity's spirit, it does possess a number of abilities.

Otherwise, he would have been tortured by the two fifth-tier psychics to extract all his information and then killed.

What needs to be done now is to buy time.

Moreover, even if the snake spirit doesn't save them, the Edo Archaeological Bureau will step in.

"If the Shadow Serpent encounters a fifth-tier opponent, it might be able to detect you. I'll teach you another escape spell."

Teru Morikawa continued, "It's called the Substitute Serpent, a special spell powered by the Serpent God's language."

Haruhiko naturally accepted everything.

But he only realized there was a problem when the game notification sounded.

[Serpent God's Serpent Sacrifice: Offering oneself as a sacrifice to the Yamata no Orochi, transforming from a human into a serpent, becoming its most loyal servant.]

[Note: This is a special inheritance; although it is a third-tier spell, its cost and power are actually equivalent to a fourth-tier spell.]

Haruhiko exclaimed, "Wow!"

But it’s normal to think about it.

Gods are gods after all.

Especially evil gods like Yamata no Orochi.

"Lord Hui, is there anything else you require?"

Haruhiko asked calmly.

"The headquarters of the Serpent Spirit is located at the Dragon Serpent Waterfall in Izumo City."

Teru Morikawa paused for a moment and then said, "If you can't rescue them, contact Kaneda Osamu, the director of the Edo Archaeological Bureau."

"He's also one of our Serpent Spirits?"

Haruhiko asked, looking shocked.

This time it's real, not fake.

Kaneda Yu is a fifth-tier psychic.

Haruhiko hadn't thought it would be so easy for him to be transformed into a divine messenger.

"No."

Teru Morikawa shook his head and said, "It's just a collaboration."

He didn't elaborate on the nature of the collaboration.

However, for Haruhiko, that was enough.

"Lord Hui."

Haruhiko bowed and said, "Wait for me, I will definitely come back."

"Be careful."

Morikawa Teru looked at him and said.

He had already prepared a backup plan.

It would be best if Haruhiko could leave safely.

If he gets caught, you can't blame him.

After using the Serpent God Serpent Festival, Haruhiko will transform into a snake.

Teru Morikawa is able to control him through a fragment of the Yamata no Orochi's spirit.

The only flaw is that Haruhiko can never turn back.

But for Teru Morikawa, it didn't matter.

Haruhiko left the barrier through the gap and quickly disappeared.

He took off his mask and returned to normal.

Not long after, he left the prison and met Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything seems to be going well.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

When Haruhiko told them, both Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari were somewhat surprised.

This was quite a fruitful experience.

Not only did they obtain the location of the Serpent Spirit headquarters, but they also learned about the relationship between the Serpent Spirit and Kaneda Yu of the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Chapter 242 Remains of the Hunting Relics

At the entrance, a limousine was already waiting.

Haruhiko looked back and realized that he was in a hotel.

However, the decorations are quite old-fashioned.
