"You ate?" Kotekawa Kami grinned, puzzled. "How come this girl's appetite is almost as big as mine after eating so much at noon?"
"He probably channeled his anger into his appetite," Mikazuki Seisakusho said, choking back a few words that left him speechless for a long time.
He shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and went to the yard to practice his boxing.
Meanwhile, in the cold, desolate wilderness, Shirakawa Nozomi was roasting and eating dry rations by a campfire.
Beside him, Yu Zi hugged her knees, staring blankly at the dilapidated building dozens of meters away, now blackened by fire.
"Tamako, dinner's ready."
Shirakawa Nozomi gave her a Yin Qi Pill, then tore open the bag of dry rations, crushed the biscuits inside, blew on them a few times, put them in his mouth, and ate them little by little.
You can easily choke if you eat this in big bites.
"I'm starting," Yu Zi said quietly, putting the Yin Qi Pill into her mouth and swallowing it in one gulp.
After eating, she let out a small burp, then tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Master, will that ghost lady really come back?"
“There’s a possibility.” Shirakawa glanced at the time on his phone and said casually, “Let’s wait until midnight. If we don’t see her, we’ll go back.”
"But it will be too late then, won't it? There won't be any buses going back. Aren't we going to school tomorrow?"
"Then let's stay here for the night and go back tomorrow morning."
"Master, why are you so obsessed with this ghost lady?"
"Well, my strength has improved a lot recently, and I can sign a second shikigami. Now that I've met a suitable one, I can't let it slip by easily."
"But didn't Master sign a second shikigami half a year ago? And why not choose to sign a more powerful shikigami? I heard from Lord Kotegawa that this ghost lady seems to only know how to sing."
The junior priest immediately straightened his face: "First, you are not allowed to call that kid 'sir'! You must call him 'kid'! Second, I have my own plans, I'll tell you later."
"Oh."
In the distance, two cars with their high beams on drove straight toward them, blinding the young priest. He frowned, his face flushed, and he whispered, "Tamako, come back!"
Yu Zi's figure suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted into his sleeve.
He put down the bag of dry rations, and his left hand, hidden in his sleeve, held three talismans.
The roar of the engines grew louder and louder, and the rear of the two cars kicked up clouds of dust before they slammed on the brakes.
The campfire flickered, casting a dim, yellowish light in the air.
Shirakawa Nozomi was completely covered in dust from the wind. His eyes turned cold, he picked up his katana with his right hand, slowly stood up, looked around, and slowly took a few steps back.
Five men in camouflage uniforms got out of the car. One of them, a bearded man, waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't get excited, we just want to ask you something."
"Want to ask me something? I'm from out of town, I don't even know the way!" Bai Chuanwang said coldly, without slowing down his retreat.
The bearded man looked at him, then suddenly pointed to the dilapidated building behind him: "Young man, you came for this, right? If so, maybe we can exchange some information, how about it?"
Shirakawa Nozomi paused in his retreating steps, frowning as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says." The bearded man glanced at his companions around him, and the group looked around as if checking for any hidden people.
"Hey buddy, something really serious happened here last night, you know?"
Shirakawa Nozomi said calmly, "The news said someone came to catch the ghost, but was killed instead."
"That's all?"
"otherwise?"
"Everyone knows what happened in the news," the bearded man said, shrugging. "I was asking if you were here last night, young man."
"Not here!"
“Okay,” the bearded man said with a look of disappointment, turning around and saying, “He wasn’t lying. We really have the wrong person. It’s not him.”
The others glanced coldly at Shirakawa Nozomi, then turned and got into the car.
The bearded man sighed, shook his head, and walked towards the car.
Shirakawa Nozomi frowned and slowly said, "Wait, you haven't told me what information you know yet."
The bearded man paused, turned around, and grinned at him, "Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot! I know, I know."
He walked towards him with his hands behind his back, slowly saying, "Actually, last night it wasn't a fight with a ghost! It was someone else! He was using a cold weapon, something like a knife or a Han sword, and he cut everyone down in just a few moves! What's even more terrifying is that he also has the ability to erase memories, tsk tsk, if our car hadn't had a dashcam..."
"They're fighting with humans?" Shirakawa Nozomi's pupils shrank, utterly shocked.
Seeing his reaction, the bearded man stopped in his tracks, realizing he had indeed come to the wrong person.
He sighed and said, "Young man, have you ever seen someone like this? He's probably a bit taller and stronger than you, wearing special military uniform, and carrying a sword pouch like this."
Shirakawa looked down at the ground in the direction he was pointing, frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Isn't what you're talking about the standard equipment for all Special Division specialists?"
"No, no, no," the bearded man shook his head. "He's special. He's holding a Han sword, and he's extremely strong."
"Han sword? Extremely powerful?" Shirakawa's pupils contracted again, and he said calmly, "It is indeed special! But unfortunately, I don't recognize it!"
"That's really hard to pronounce. If you ever see it again, please feel free to call us and let us know." The bearded man took out a business card from his pocket, handed it over, and smiled, saying, "As long as the information is correct, you will receive a reward of ten million yen."
"Ten million?" Shirakawa Nozomi's expression almost spiraled out of control again. He muttered, "How many years can that buy beef ramen?"
The bearded man next to him burst into laughter: "Probably enough to eat for a hundred years?"
Shirakawa Nozomi snapped out of his daze, stuffed the card into his pocket, turned away indifferently, and stood to the side with his katana.
The bearded man waved his hand and turned to walk towards the car.
Someone in the car spoke coldly: "Boss, this kid has a ghost hiding on him!"
"Oh?" The bearded man, who was about to get into the car, turned around again, first looking at the dilapidated building, then looking at Shirakawa Nozomi with surprise.
Shirakawa Nozomi coldly replied, "I'm an Onmyoji, is there anything wrong with bringing my shikigami with me?"
The bearded man turned his head again, looking at the person who had spoken, his gaze subtle: "Is something wrong?"
The people in the car kept their eyes fixed on Shirakawa Nozomi: "The ghost on this kid also meets the employer's requirements!"
"Oh?" The bearded man's eyes lit up immediately. "What a coincidence! I thought such a big deal was going to fall through! Hahaha!"
He turned around with a smile, but all he saw was thin air.
"Boss, that kid escaped!"
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences? Go after them!"
The two cars roared to life and sped off in pursuit of Shirakawa, who was racing away.
With a cold face, Shirakawa silently chanted a spell, threw the three talismans in his hand behind him, and then plunged into the nearby woods without looking back.
Three large bursts of flame exploded behind him, and the two cars swerved to avoid them.
"Hurry! Find him within an hour!" The bearded man's voice in the car had a sinister undertone.
While fleeing, Shirakawa Nozomi pulled out his phone and hurriedly called Shirakawa Kurumi, but the line was busy. Then the headlights of the cars behind him shone on him. He cursed and hung up, then dialed Kotegawa Kami's number.
At that time, Kami Kotegawa was still boxing, and his phone was charging in his bedroom.
Unable to get through on both phone calls, Shirakawa Nozomi grew even more furious. He gritted his teeth and sent a message on e-mail: "Fujimi City, save me!" Then he took a deep breath and watched as the figure, glowing with a faint red light in the darkness, disappeared deeper into the forest.
A minute later, the two cars that had rushed here stopped. The bearded man stared at the darkness ahead, his face grim. "Going into the mountains at this hour? Does that kid want to die even faster?"
"Boss, should we give chase?"
"Chase him! Of course we'll chase him! Leave two people here to keep watch and call everyone over! It's better that kid is dead; it'll save us some trouble."
"Yes!"
At that moment, Kurumi, dressed in her pajamas, rushed out of the room and, seeing Kotegawa Kami returning to the room after finishing her boxing match, blurted out, "Nozomi's in trouble!"
Kami Kotekawa was startled and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic! What's wrong?"
"I don't know! He called just now but I didn't answer! There was only one message in my email! I can't get through to him anymore!" Shirakawa Kurumi was very regretful. She thought that the boy wanted to apologize to her, so she didn't answer out of spite.
"Can't get through? Is there no signal or is his phone off? If there's no signal, has he gone into the mountains?" Kawakami reacted quickly, striding back into the house: "Go back inside and change your clothes. We're leaving in a minute!"

Late at night, Kotekawa Kami squatted in front of the extinguished campfire, touched it with his hand, and looked at the messy tire tracks in front of him. He said, "Two SUVs, were they being chased?"
"Being hunted down? What trouble did he get into?!" Hu Tao, dressed in black and masked, clenched her fists tightly.
Kotekawa Kami stood up, looked into the distant woods, and said softly, "Let's go, let's find the person first."
They followed the tire tracks, and halfway there, Furutekawa Kami glanced at the three large charred patches on the ground and continued onward.
The moonlight tonight is as enchanting as ever, its bright rays bathing the earth.
As soon as they entered the woods, the two of them crouched down.
Deep in the woods, several cars were lined up, their headlights illuminating the depths of the forest, with shadowy figures all around.
She slowly drew her katana from behind her back and asked in a low voice, "Is this the group?"
Looking ahead, Kotekawa Kami said, "There are five cars in total, but only six people. The others should have gone inside, which is good news. He probably hasn't been caught yet."
"But what exactly did he do? Why did he provoke so many people?"
"Well..." Kotekawa Kami stroked his chin, his gaze thoughtful: "I feel like I've seen this group of people before."
"what?"
"Their attire looks a lot like the group I chopped up last night... Let's get closer and see what's going on."
The "Nightmare" domain spread outwards, and he stood up and stepped forward.
Hu Tao grabbed him and whispered, "We'll be discovered quickly if we go this way. Let's go around to the woods."
"That would be too much of a waste of time. With just the two of us in this vast, deep forest, we might not even find anyone by dawn. Don't worry! My infiltration skills are MAX."
Hu Tao clearly didn't believe it. You can call walking over like that stealth? If this counts as stealth, then what is she, a ninja who graduated with a degree in stealth?
"Just follow me." Kotekawa Kami looked at her and said in a low voice, then crouched down and stealthily crept forward.
Hu Tao, watching from behind, was speechless.
Is this what you call stealth axe? Do you think the people on the other side are idiots?
She hesitated for a moment, stamped her foot, and followed.
