Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chiba, Tokyo.

The night fog, like cold water mixed with ink, swept past the torii gate of the "Hoori Shrine" along with the mountain wind.

A black Bentley was parked at the foot of the shrine steps.

The sound of the car door opening and closing was particularly jarring in the silence.

Sano Shiba, dressed in a high-end black suit and black leather shoes, stepped onto the bluestone pavement.

He wore an obsidian brooch on his left chest, and a hideous scar was hidden in the shadows on his collarbone—he was the man known in the underworld as the "Black Lotus Demon."

However, he is better known as a member of the Black Dragon Group.

"In human society, there are all kinds of professions, like the intricate gears of a machine. We yakuza are good at fighting and ruthless, and we are a type of gear. This kind of specialized gear can usually only be good at one thing. When we encounter a problem that we cannot solve, we need to rely on the power of other gears."

Not long ago, Sano Shiba realized a new truth and named it the "Gears of Life" philosophy.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Superpowered individuals are also divided into those with supernatural abilities and exorcists.

While the latter may not possess high physical combat strength, it is particularly effective against ghosts and gods.

The red lanterns in front of the shrine swayed gently, casting an eerie green glow on the moss on the stone steps.

Sano Shiba stood up and softly called out towards the shrine, "Sano Shiba, Third Vice-Leader of the Black Dragon Group, prays to the shrine maiden to purify the evil spirits and vanquish the malevolent spirits!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his underlings behind him knelt down in front of him.

She took off her shirt, revealing a slightly dark mark on her forearm.

Those cursed marks tormented them, leaving their eyes lifeless and their cheeks sunken.

Some people were still drooling blankly, as if they had been infected with the Van Ma virus and turned into supercomputers.

Ta-da!

A soft candlelight shone inside the shrine, and a languid voice drifted from within.

"Thirty million yen..."

Upon hearing this, Sano Shiba breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to deliver the briefcase he had brought to the offering box at the shrine.

"Please, priestess... help me out," Sano Shiba pleaded earnestly.

These underlings were all his trusted confidants.

If they continue to endure An Qingyu's "curse" and be tortured to the point of near death, it will greatly affect his candidacy for deputy group leader.

Gen Kiyoko opened the door a crack, glanced inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... thankfully it's only a level A curse..."

"Otherwise, it might get a little troublesome..."

She yawned, slowly put on her shrine maiden outfit, and came out carrying the bell.

The courtyard was covered with moss, and three incense sticks were stuck in the incense burner.

Smoke curls upwards.

A white-haired loli dressed in a red shrine maiden's outfit was kneeling in front of the table, holding a string of silver bells in her hand, which made a soft ringing sound.

Her hair was as white as a waterfall, and her skin was whiter than snow.

Her features were cool and aloof, like plum blossoms under the moon, yet she exuded a languid air.

Even during the exorcism ritual, he yawned from time to time.

One of the underlings couldn't help but whisper, "Boss... she doesn't look that old, is she sure she can handle it...?"

"Shut up!" Sano Shiba glared at his underling and whispered.

"Don't let her petite stature fool you; she's already a shrine maiden of the Suizhi Shrine, a 'Great Onmyoji,' equivalent to a Purple-Robed Celestial Master of the Great Xia Dynasty..."

The younger brother exclaimed in surprise, "A Great Onmyoji!? Boss... I understand now. She has white hair, so she must be an elder, but her skin is still like that of a young girl."

"Truly, 'White hair falls, moonlight reflects on cold skin, casting a clear glow, the sound of the exorcising bell resounds…'"

"I told you to shut up, shut up!" Sano Shiba gritted his teeth and slapped his underling's head several times, cursing:

"You spout haiku all the time, do you think you're Kobayashi Issa?"

The younger brother gave an awkward smile. "Sorry, cousin... oh no, minister!"

I almost forgot, you should be addressed by your job title when you're out in public.

After Sano Shiba finished scolding his underlings, he came to his senses.

The brothers who had been cursed were already jumping around with boundless energy.

"Hey! We're alive!" the henchmen exclaimed.

The occasional sharp pain in my brain has disappeared!

Sano Shiba breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something to express his gratitude.

But then the priestess yawned and walked back to the shrine.

"She must be exhausted from the exorcism!" Sano Shiba thought to himself, and decided not to disturb the priestess.

"You all, put the rest of the money in the offering box as well."

Before coming, he was worried that he wouldn't have enough money, so he specially prepared 100 million yen.

The Bentley drove away from the shrine and disappeared into the night.

……

Back in the shrine maiden's quarters.

Too lazy to take off her shrine maiden outfit, Gen Kiyoko lay down on the futon and started to catch up on sleep.

Even though she's a shrine maiden, staying up all night for seven consecutive days to watch hundreds of anime series like Higurashi, Stand, and Shiki, accumulating a stack of DVDs, her body couldn't take it anymore...

"Qingzi, you forgot to tidy up the money box," came Granny Li's voice from the darkness.

Granny Li, the founder of Suizhi Shrine, was also the master who took her up the mountain to cultivate...

Gen Kiyoko lazily rolled over: "Grandma, please help me..."

Granny Li was furious, but she had no choice but to straighten her hunched back and move the money box.

"Go down the mountain tomorrow," said Granny Li.

"Eh—~~~," Gen Kiyoko didn't move, letting out a long "Eh" sound.

"I have nothing more to teach you."

"It's time for you to return to the city, experience the world, and understand the true meaning of life."

Kiyoko said lazily, "Eh—~~~~".

Granny Li: ……

"Have you forgotten your sister? And your two nieces... who have been 'faking their deaths' for three years? Don't you want to go back and see them?"

Kiyoko no longer gave that lazy "Eh~".

She slowly got up, scratched her messy hair, and said:

"Grandma, do you mean I'm not coming back this time after I go down the mountain?"

"Go back to school," Granny Li said, tossing her her luggage and a small jade bottle.

"Everything has been packed and organized. After you go down the mountain, go to St. Mary's Hospital to deal with that evil spirit, and you'll graduate completely."

Gen Kiyoko took the jade bottle.

The past flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern, and a ripple appeared in my lazy gaze.

When I was sixteen.

She awakened her "yin-yang eyes," enabling her to see ghosts and spirits and attract evil spirits.

This is not a good thing.

As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," and one time she encountered an evil spirit.

Fortunately, I ran into Granny Li from Suizhi Shrine.

In order not to implicate her older sister Miko and her two nieces who are still in elementary school.

She had no choice but to follow Granny Li up the mountain, become her apprentice, and become a witch.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Sister Meizi, Kexin, Keling, I wonder how you guys are doing now?"

Gen Kiyoko lazily pulled out her phone. "The number shouldn't have changed, right..."

Beep beep beep... The number you dialed is not in service.

"Your address hasn't changed, you can just take the train back to Shilu," Grandma Li said.

Gen Kiyoko sighed and said, "Grandma, give me the money, I'll take the helicopter back..."

Grandma Li irritably tossed her a bank card with three hundred million US dollars on it, saying:

"This is your exorcism salary for the past few years. Hurry up and leave. I get annoyed just looking at you, you lazybones."

"Also, don't take a helicopter, take the train!"

The mystical world is divided into two major camps—the world of supernatural beings and the world of exorcism.

There is an unwritten rule in the exorcism world.

The nature of exorcists can easily lead to the aversion of "machine spirits".

It is inherently resistant to the replication of mechanical and electronic structures.

The more sophisticated the mechanical and electronic tools, the more likely they are to malfunction in the hands of an exorcist.

Therefore, powerful exorcists have a nickname – vehicle killers!

"Duh, duh~", Gen Kiyoko waved her hand lazily and said:

"I'm not taking a slow train; returning home in a helicopter in triumph is the coolest thing ever!"

Grandma Li had no choice but to let her go.

Watching her petite figure slowly descend the mountain, she, as her master, couldn't help but sigh:

"It is said that in order to master unparalleled martial arts, one must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear."

"It has to be you, Kiyoko, who slept soundly while reading comics, and ended up transforming from an ordinary person into a purple-robed celestial master in just three years..."

"If my senior brother knew of your existence, he would probably rush all the way from Quanzhen Sect to take you as his disciple."

She murmured, "A gifted monster, terrifyingly so. This time I came down the mountain only hoping you could curb your lazy nature..."

At the foot of the mountain, the pre-arranged helicopter took off.

It hadn't flown far when thick black smoke billowed from the engine—it had crashed!

Granny Li: ……

Fortunately, there were exorcists of the purple robe level, so no one was injured.

After the insurance company paid her a large sum of money.

Kiyoko had no choice but to board the slow-moving train and head south to Ishiro.

"Hmm... After going to Shilu, which hospital should we go to for an exorcism?"

Gen Kiyoko racked her brains and remembered.

"Oh... St. Mary's Hospital... Ugh, this is such a hassle."

the other side.

whoosh-

The three landed in front of the hospital in a very Western style.

Jiang Ling looked up.

The name of the abandoned hospital came into view—[St. Mary's Hospital]
