Offer blocks to the end times

It's a strange substance that acts on the soul but doesn't harm the body. People can't smell it, but it smells incredibly foul to those outside, almost like a mark.

Thousand Hands analyzed the substance and made a small bottle, intending to use it to trick people. After the stench disappeared, the people inside gradually revived. However, after they sat up, they were still covering their heads, but they huddled together, forming a defensive formation.

"Who is it! Show yourself!" It was Meiyue's brother who spoke. He tore off his scarf and held it in his hand. Several talismans were floating and dancing around the four of them. The eyes of the three people next to him were also a little red. "Who did this! Show yourself, you despicable villain!"

Chapter 1403 Communication

"Hmph, serves you right for trying to suffocate me with your stench," Senju said, standing atop the small house on the rooftop, looking down at the four people sprawled on the ground. "How are you all feeling? Feeling better now? Want to do it again?"

"Up there!" the group shouted, leaping up only to crash into the barrier above. They clutched their heads and crouched down, but they also saw Senju's face—wasn't that the person who had mysteriously disappeared earlier?! Right, there was something that could threaten them...

As they were thinking this, they saw the tablet and pointer beside them slowly float up. When they reached out to grab it, they discovered that there was a spherical barrier above it. Despite their efforts, they couldn't break through it and could only watch as the tablet flew out of the barrier and landed in the other person's hand. Then, the other person pulled out a ball of light from it, and a ball of flame emerged from their hand, completely destroying the tablet.

"Speak, what are you doing here?" Senju jumped down from the top of the small house, looked at the four people who had already stood up inside, glanced down at the pointer, and saw that it was pointing directly at them. These were the strange students who had appeared at this location. To use a bit of anime tropes, these were the main characters!

Seeing that the villain had made the false accusation, the people inside were extremely angry. Once they caught the guy outside, they would definitely make him taste the hellish flavor!

"Who are you? Why are you in our school?" The black-haired boy was the first to calm down and asked a question. The girl with glasses next to him trembled as she adjusted her glasses. "Oh no! He must have come here because he's after that fruit monster! That's why he locked us up!"

“Oh, that makes sense,” the blond guy next to her clapped his hands, looking excitedly at the girl with glasses. “Future classmate is really smart. No wonder she’s called Glasses Girl. That was awesome.”

"Shut up, you pervert!" Mizuki said, taking a quick sniff of the surroundings. "But Kuriyama-san is right. If they can use a barrier and eliminate this smell, they must be after that youmu!"

"Youmu?" Senju rolled her eyes at the whispering group. She was standing right there; why were they talking to themselves? And sending text messages secretly—did they think she hadn't seen it?!

However, Senju also wanted to see what kind of reinforcements the other side had brought, so he pretended to be stupid and asked, "What is this Youmu you're talking about?"

"What? You didn't know?!" The group was shocked, then Mizuki pointed to the floating monster, "Do you see something over there?"

"Oh, there's just an ordinary tree spirit. What's wrong with it?" Senju made up a name, and the others exchanged glances. "So, do you know about the Otherworld Warriors Association?"

"The Otherworld Warriors Association? What does that do? Is it related to this Tree Spirit?" Senju said, looking at the monster over there. The others were even more surprised, but then the black-haired boy spoke up in a serious tone, "That's right, our mission is to defeat this monster and eliminate the harm it brings. By the way, that monster is Youmu, and it is our responsibility as Otherworld Warriors to defeat Youmu."

"Is that so?" Senju hesitated, while Mizuki on the other side used her cuteness to say, "It's like this, senpai~ can you let us go? We~ won't fight you for that monster~"

“No, that’s right,” the bespectacled woman stammered, clutching her heart slightly before gesturing with her fingers. “That’s very valuable, at least 500,000 yuan.”

"That's right, no."

"Wrong," the black-haired boy nodded repeatedly, "That monster is yours, just let us go. We won't harm that youkai."

"Is that so?" Senju looked at the monster over there, waved his hand, and a light shield enveloped it before pulling it over. "What's the use of this thing?"

"!" The group watched with anticipation as Senju pulled the monster over, but they were surprised to find that nothing had happened. The monster seemed to be completely unaffected and remained floating there. Senju analyzed the situation and said, "So that's how it is. A strange soul with simple intelligence. But it's full of 'stinky water' inside."

As Thousand Hands spoke, he looked at the four people inside who were grinning sheepishly with an inscrutable expression. Then, he slowly pushed the floating orb of light outside inward. The people inside immediately panicked, "Sorry, sorry, we were wrong! Don't let that in! It'll explode!"

"Hmph, how can you possibly beat me?" Thousand Hands still pushed the monster inside. The people inside immediately lay down on the barrier and started scratching. However, after a while, they realized that the monster behind them had not exploded. Then, they felt the barrier in front of them disappear, and they collapsed to the ground.

"Thank you, thank you!" The group was overjoyed and wept tears of joy! They had almost fallen into that hell again! After straightening their clothes, they looked at Senju and realized that he didn't seem to have much ill intentions; it was just a prank. But even pranks can be deadly!

The black-haired man wrapped a scarf around his neck and bowed to Senju. “Hello, I am the Spirit World Warrior Nase Hiroomi. This is my sister, Nase Mizuki. This is Kuriyama Mirai. They are also Spirit World Warriors. This pervert is called Kambara Akihito. He is not a Spirit World Warrior.”

"Kamihara?" Senju glanced at the boy with a puzzled expression. The boy did possess considerable power. Was that the antagonist? He could be a potential hero candidate. However, Senju was more thinking about the 'Story' she had just read, which also featured a 'Kamihara'. "What a nice surname. They both have transformation abilities."

"Do you know any other members of the Kanbara family?" Kanbara Akito asked excitedly. Senju nodded. "Well, I do know one, Kanbara Suruga. She's a girl who sometimes turns into a 'Rain Demon,' but she's pretty awful normally too. She's a complete pervert."

"Rain Demon? Could it be the legendary demon that only appears when it rains?" Hiroomi Nase asked in confusion. Mizuki looked at him with a puzzled expression. Hiroomi Nase continued to explain, "That's a demon from European legend, a monkey wearing a raincoat. On a drizzly day, a child ran away from home after arguing with his parents over some trivial matter. Eventually, he got lost in the mountains and was eaten by a pack of wolves. That's the origin of the Rain Demon."

“You know quite a lot,” Senju nodded at him, while Nase Hiroomi across from him remained calm. “This is just the basic skill of a Spirit World Warrior. Although they are not our enemies, we should still learn a little about things like the supernatural. By the way, after saying so much, I still don’t know who you are.”

Chapter 1404 Blood and Curse

"Ah, my name is Aizen Sousuke, I'm a Shinigami, and I'm here to find something," Senju said casually. The expressions of the others turned grim, and they chuckled awkwardly. "Shinigami? Um, you were joking, weren't you?"

“No, I am the Grim Reaper. Although I may be different from the image you imagine, I am indeed the Grim Reaper ‘now’,” Senju patted the sword at his waist. The others could only laugh awkwardly. They remembered that the other party was very strong, so let’s leave this topic behind. “By the way, Mr. Aizen Sousuke, what are you looking for?”

"Well, just call me Aizen," Senju waved his hand, then looked at Kanbaru Akito over there. "I heard that a negative emotion condensation called 'Beyond the Boundary' appeared here, so I came to take it to hell. But it seems I've found it."

"Akito, run!" Nase Hiroomi kicked Kanbara Akito off the rooftop, and the remaining three attacked Senju. A woman also jumped out from the passage next to them and swung her hammer at Senju.

"Weakling!" Senju swung his sword, instantly blocking the attacks of the four, and then continued to block their attacks. "Don't be so agitated. By the way, aren't you afraid he'll fall to his death?"

However, the group didn't reply. Instead, they continued their attack. The talismans, fists, curses, and barriers were all easily blocked by Senju. However, Senju dodged Kuriyama Mirai's attack, afraid of being splashed. "Little girl, don't fight so hard. The amount of blood in the human body is limited. Even if you have the ability to control blood, you can't use it like this."

"Unpleasant, unpleasant, unpleasant..." Muttering to herself, Kuriyama Mirai was desperately hacking away at people when Senju flashed by and tapped her forehead. "Lock! Seriously, if you don't want to fight, then don't fight."

"What...what did you do?!" The blood-stained blade in Kuriyama Mirai's hand instantly returned to her body. In an instant, she found herself unable to manipulate her blood, and she collapsed to her knees. "Why...why did it have to be now?!"

"Alright, you guys stop now. The main character's back. You're really lucky to be alive," Senju said, slightly increasing her speed as she placed the binding spells on the three people beside her. Then she looked towards the entrance, where Akito Kanbara emerged, panting heavily.

They ran up to him, shouting, "Stop, stop!"

"Ah, they've stopped," Senju shrugged, looking at Kanbaru Akito who was panting heavily. "Young man, you harbor a powerful monster within you. Are you interested in taming it?"

“Monster? You mean the youmu inside me?” Kanbara Akihito looked at his captured companions and stood in front of Senju. “I can do whatever I want with them, but please let them go!”

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to make things difficult for them. To be honest, I was just curious," Senju said, looking at the pointer in his hand and then at the other person. "I originally wondered what kind of monster the so-called collection of resentment from millions of people on the other side of the boundary was. Now it seems that it is the manifestation of energy from the neighboring world in this world. The world is truly full of wonders. A little resentment plus the energy from the neighboring world can actually give birth to such a life form. This world has a high tolerance for fantasy."

"The Neighboring World?" The people around him were full of question marks. Although they understood each word that Senju said, they didn't quite understand the meaning when put together. Senju shook his head. "That's right, the Neighboring World, a fantastical space created by humans, or rather, intelligent beings, a misty world."

"Is that neighboring world the other side of the boundary?" Nase Hiroomi suddenly spoke up from the side. Senju nodded. "Well, that's about right. But there are already monsters here. It's normal for new species to form here after the fantasy space leaked out. This Kanbara-kun is a very rare monster, a fantasy half-demon."

"A fantasy half-demon?" Akito Kanbara was puzzled. Senju shook his head and sensed the entire city. He felt a lot of overflowing neighboring energy from this area. "I see. This is the pollution point. No wonder there are no other youkai or gods here."

"So, is there any way to separate the youmu from Kanbara's body?" Nase Hiroomi asked from the side. Senju nodded, "Well, there is a way, but it would be too wasteful. He is a very precious sample. Let me study the youmu. Maybe I can help him control that power."

“But I’m more interested in you than him,” Senju said, looking at Kuriyama Mirai kneeling there in a daze. “Your power is quite peculiar. Not only can you manipulate blood, but you can also make it highly corrosive. That’s quite rare.”

"What do you mean?" Kuriyama Mirai, who was kneeling there, said blankly. Kanbara Akihito flashed in front of her. "You're looking for me, right? It has nothing to do with Kuriyama-san."

“No, senpai,” Kuriyama Mirai also regained her senses, then tugged at Kanbaru Akihito’s clothes, “Let me go instead, anyway, someone like me who’s cursed…”

"No, Kuriyama-kun, I should be the one to do this!" Akito Kambara shouted, and then the two of them started arguing. Seeing this 'touching' scene, Senju shook his head, "Alright, no need to argue, I'll find both of you."

"..." The people nearby fell silent for a moment, and the two who were arguing simultaneously looked at Senju, "How could this be?!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm only interested in interesting things," Senju waved his hand from the side, "and I won't dissect you during the research."

"Pervert!" the two shouted at the same time, then covered their mouths and looked at Senju in horror. Senju rolled his eyes, snapped his fingers, and released the two from their restraints. "Alright, I didn't mean any harm. I see you have many questions, so you can ask me."

The group exchanged glances, then asked one after another, "Excuse me, is there something wrong with Kuriyama-san's blood? What is this curse she mentioned?"

"How do I remove the youmu from your body, senior?"

"How can I get my sister..."

"Stop!" Senju raised his hand and looked at Kanbara Akito, who had spoken first. "Kuriyama-kun's ability is probably an inherited superpower. This ability, which he obtained from another world, is just a little incompatible with this world."

“It is precisely because of this incompatibility that your clan is out of step with the world,” Senju said, looking intently at Kuriyama Mirai. “It also contains energy from another dimension and soul energy, probably originating from the power of vampires.”

"A vampire?!" Kuriyama Mirai stared blankly at her hands. "So I'm not human? No wonder I attract bad luck."

Chapter 1405 Blood and Bloodline

"..." Thousand Hands patted her shoulder speechlessly, "Alright, girl, don't worry about this. Your ancestors must have followed that person who fought in another world. There were probably countless people back then. Don't worry too much about your abilities."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all!" the girl shouted, then tried to take off the ring from her finger. "No, it's dangerous!"

"Is this the seal being broken?" Senju muttered to herself, but her abilities had already been sealed by herself. So the others saw Kuriyama Mirai using her mind to cast a spell, and then a bead of blood slowly appeared on her finger. "Alright, that was just a metaphor. To be serious, you should be considered a half-demon."

"A half-demon?!" The group exclaimed in surprise. Kuriyama Mirai shook her head frantically. "Impossible! Although I belong to a cursed clan, I am not a half-demon. Senpai is!"

"Well, that's none of your business," Senju shook her head. "Kuriyama-kun, your bloodline is already diluted..."

"It's thinned to a fraction of its original size, so I can completely control it. But your Youmu bloodline, Shinbara, is very strong; it's not under your control at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't only have the ability of immortality."

"Control the youmu inside me? How is that possible?" Akito Kanbara shook his head, and the others next to him nodded in agreement. "That's impossible. The youmu inside Akito is too powerful."

“Powerful? Indeed,” Senju looked at Kanbara Akito. His human part was just an ordinary person, but his Youmu part was comparable to a spirit like Yatogami Tohka. The two of them were no match for each other. “However, it’s not like there’s no chance. Let’s talk about that later. I need to do some more research.”

"Is that so?" Akihito Kanbara nodded in confusion, then looked to the side, "By the way, is Mirai alright? Does she really have a youmu inside her?"

“It’s just bloodline, it’s been completely absorbed, and she has no independent consciousness,” Senju shook his head there. “But now her abilities have been completely locked down by me. Now she’s just an ordinary girl.”

"A normal girl? How am I supposed to pay the rent? I just got the certificate back," Kuriyama Mirai suddenly exclaimed in disbelief, then pulled out her phone and started typing. "Anyway, I'm just a normal girl now. If I have any complaints, I can only vent on my blog..."

"Uh," Senju didn't know how to respond. He looked at the others who had the same expression and then comforted the girl, "You're not ordinary. Even though you're sealed, you still have your bloodline limit!"

"Bloodline Limit?" Nase Hiroomi asked in confusion. Senju looked at him and said, "It's a power that can only be inherited through blood relations and genes under normal circumstances. You should have it too. As for the specifics, you can refer to this."

Senju pulled a tablet from her pocket, tapped it, and a video appeared—a video introducing various bloodline limits. "Take your time watching it."

"This is... anime, right?!" Several people stared at the demonstration on the tablet, their eyes twitching in disbelief. Had everything just happened been a fabrication?! Give them back their emotions!

While the others were stunned, Senju glanced at the 'youmu' still floating to the side and asked, "By the way, what exactly is the use of this youmu? What kind of precious fruit can it bear?"

“No,” Hiroomi Nase shook his head. “Although that is a fruit-type Youmu, it will not bear fruit. What’s important to us is the Youmu Stone.”

"Youmu Stone?" Senju was taken aback. This thing smells terrible. Is the Youmu Stone used to make biological weapons?! Nase Hirotomi nodded. "That's right. Youmu Stones are born after you kill a Youmu. Fruit-type Youmu Stones are more valuable."

"I see, let's give it a try," Thousand Hands flicked his finger, sending out a beam of light that pierced through the monster. The others who witnessed this paled in shock. "What?! No way!"

"What is this?!" Senju saw the monster's skin begin to crack, followed by an explosion. However, a huge amount of liquid burst out in all directions. Seeing the liquid only a few dozen centimeters away, Senju used Shunpo to escape hundreds of meters away.

Then the rooftop was flooded with a strange liquid, and there seemed to be a few mournful cries coming from inside. But then Senju saw that a barrier had appeared on the rooftop, and as a result, the rooftop became a small swimming pool, although it didn't taste very good.

"There's really a lot. It feels like a water-style technique, but it's rather vicious!" Senju commented from the air, looking at the liquid that had submerged the roof. Fortunately, the liquid was of the nature of souls and had no effect on inorganic matter, which prevented the school building from becoming a 'stinky building'.

Only after the liquid below disappeared did Senju slowly descend. The Youmu there was completely gone, but the so-called 'Youmu Stone' was also gone!

However, compared to Senju, who was searching everywhere for Youmu Stones, the others stood there with blank expressions, as if a gust of wind would turn them into dust.

After searching for a long time without finding anything, Senju saw them standing there motionless and kindly went up to ask, "Don't you think it smells bad? Do you need any help?"

"Ah!!!" The group finally reacted, and several screams immediately rang out. Senju covered his ears, looking at their panicked appearance. They were really too young.

Thousand Hands shook his head slightly, and a beam of light descended from the sky, instantly dispelling their scent. "Alright, no need to panic. You're demon hunters, after all. What's a little smell to you!"

"..." The group stared speechlessly at Senju, wondering who had caused them to experience such a series of hellish ordeals because of a tiny bit of taste! They suddenly felt exhausted. Just a moment ago they had been so moved, but now all they felt was fatigue. With the sound of bells ringing around them, they all moved to the side. "Lord Shinigami, we're going to class. If you need anything, just ask Ms. Ninomiya."

"Oh, see you later," Senju nodded, watching the four of them walk downstairs, completely exhausted. It seemed he had gone too far; they were all stunned. "Ninomiya-sensei, hello, I am Aizen."

"Huh?! Leave it to me?!" The newly appeared woman exclaimed, then looked at Senju to the side, hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Um, hello, Aizen... classmate? I'm Niji."

"Miya Shizuku, the teacher here."

Senju shook his head. "Don't worry about it. Ninomiya-sensei, just call me Aizen. You must be a Spirit World Warrior too, right? Shouldn't Youmu drop Youmu Stones? But nothing was left from what happened just now."

Chapter 1406 Nase Izumi

"I don't quite understand this either. Generally speaking, it should happen," Shizuku Ninomiya wondered. "Could it be because Aizen-sensei is too strong? By the way, what level of Spirit World Warrior are you?"

“Well, I’m not a Spirit World Warrior, I’m just interested in ‘Beyond the Boundary’,” Senju said casually, but Ninomiya Shizuku’s expression immediately changed. “What do you want to do to Akito?”

"Well, don't worry, I won't kill Akito Kanbara. Instead, I'll make him find a way to control the power within his body," Senju said with a smile, but the teacher opposite him had already darkened his expression.

“Do you know what’s inside him? It’s something no human can touch,” Ninomiya Shizuku said solemnly. Senju nodded. “Of course I know. It’s the Other Side of Boundaries, isn’t it? Otherwise, I wouldn’t be chatting with you guys here. It’s a toy I finally found here.”
