“Toys? Do you know how powerful Beyond the Boundary is? It’s the embodiment of the resentment of tens of millions of people. Those who haven’t seen it can’t even imagine how powerful it is,” Ninomiya Shizuku looked at Senju warily. Senju smiled and shook his head. “Tens of millions? That’s a little low. Compared to ‘all the evil in this world,’ it’s still hundreds of orders of magnitude less.”

"All the evil in this world?" Ninomiya Shizuku shuddered. With Senju's words, she felt an extreme darkness and despair. Senju had deliberately added a message to her words so that she would understand.

"With such simple words, you can make the other party understand your words. Senju is a little annoyed by the recent communication problems. Each monster has a different name, making communication troublesome! "That's right, so don't worry. Even if the other party comes out, I can suppress it. The important thing now is, where did the Youmu Stone go?"

“Youmu Stone? I don’t know about that either,” wiping away cold sweat, the other person handed Senju a business card. “If you want to ask anything, you can go to the owner of this shop. She can appraise and buy Youmu Stones.”

"A photo studio?" Senju looked at the business card handed to her, slightly curious. The other person nodded. "That's right. Just so you know, the shop owner is also a Youmu, but she has the association's permission and is a good person. I hope you won't hurt her."

“Youmu, huh?” Senju glanced at the business card and then understood. “Shindou Ayaka? Don’t worry, as long as there’s no problem, I won’t hurt her. I’ll go wander around now and see if I can get a Youmu Stone.”

"..." Watching Senju fly away, Ninomiya Shizuku remained silent for a moment, then took out her phone. "Shindou, there's something I need to tell you. Today..."

After leaving this place, Senju went everywhere to look for 'Youmu', but the 'Youmu' here looked like the kind of 'demon' that Yato was chasing. After being killed, it also burst out with a burst of light, but unfortunately, it didn't drop anything.

After eliminating more than a dozen monsters, Senju discovered a pattern: as long as he didn't use too much high-level power to destroy the monsters, he could obtain Youmu Stones. Unfortunately, Senju's own power was still too high. The radiance was a change in the laws caused by the conflict between his power and the otherworldly power within Youmu.

He eventually crafted several wooden puppets there before obtaining his first Demon Dream Stone. Speaking of which, this thing is somewhat like a demon's crystal core, both being remnants of magical laws. However, this is a crystallization of neighboring world laws, an extremely low-quality spirit crystal. Unfortunately, it has too many impurities and cannot be used directly by humans.

However, there are really many kinds of youmu here, big and small, all kinds. As the fight went on, Senju went out of the city. There are even more kinds outside. This is different from the 'youmu' that Yato was chasing. Among them was a huge earth giant. It looked very majestic. Senju enlightened it and put it into a card.

Afterwards, Senju captured a few more majestic and beautiful monsters and made them into a set of cards, which he could use to scare people later. Looking at the hundreds of Youmu Stones in his hand, Senju categorized them according to his own intuition.

However, while he was sorting through these Youmu Stones, a girl suddenly appeared from a distance. She had an extremely strong aura, and judging from how she jumped around on the trees, Senju knew that she was also a Spirit World Warrior.

"Hello, I am Nase Izumi. This is the Nase family's hunting ground. Please show your identification, or please leave!" Looking at the large pile of Youmu Stones in front of Senju, Nase Izumi felt a pang of heartache. His own beautiful cabbage had been eaten by someone else's pig!

However, according to the information she received, the other party was very powerful, and it was best to avoid conflict. With that in mind, she had already assembled the naginata in her hand, and the blade was pointed at Senju. Unconsciously, after seeing those youmu stones, Nase Izumi regarded the other party as an enemy!

"Hunting ground? Identification?" Senju raised his head in confusion, then his expression changed immediately. His hand was already on his knife. By the time he realized what was happening, the girl standing in the tree opposite him had already been reduced to ashes.

"..." Looking at the dust falling from the sky, Senju was speechless. His vision was too good; for a fleeting moment, he had seen a soul surrounded by countless tiny white insects. Those insects must have been...

Is that what they call a 'youmu'? But it looks rather disgusting.

Moreover, when Senju "saw" these insects, they actually tried to parasitize Senju through his gaze. This touched upon the law of soul reflection. Once seen, they enter the other person's soul, making them virtually impossible to defend against. Ordinary methods simply cannot stop them.

Of course, they couldn't successfully parasitize Senju; they were simply repelled by Senju's soul and turned to ashes. However, seeing countless tiny insects flying towards him, Senju still reacted instinctively and attacked. Only after he completely destroyed these insects and the girl did he realize that she might be like Matou Sakura and the Aburame family, someone parasitized by insects.

“Really, Ning,” ignoring the eerie swaying of the trees, Senju shook his head. The ashes in the air shrank into his hand. Then he took out a pile of special soil, waved his hand, and water appeared in the air. The three then mixed together to form a clay doll, which looked just like the girl from before.

This time, Senju borrowed the magic of Uta from Inuyasha, but he didn't need to go through the trouble of firing clay dolls. With a gentle breath, the clay doll quickly changed its appearance, eventually becoming a girl who had just appeared - Izumi Nase. Even her clothes and weapon remained the same. The only change was that Senju completely removed the worms from her body.

However, those insects are quite strange. Although they are parasitizing the other party's body, their physical condition doesn't change much. This is probably because the other party is a 'youmu', and the direction of parasitism is the soul.

Chapter 1407 Slaying Insects

This makes them almost invincible. People without soul defenses will be immediately parasitized. If it were to erupt here, 99% of the people on the entire planet would be parasitized. Even those with defenses would be disgusted. Senju was disgusted half to death just now, even though he had seen many insect techniques.

"?" While Senju was thinking about this, the girl next to her looked puzzled. She thought she was standing in a tree just now, so why was she standing next to this person now? What happened in between?

Unable to understand, she shook her head, regaining her composure. She raised the naginata in her hand, frowned at the man staring blankly at her, then regained her calm. "I am Nase Izumi of the Nase family. Please show me your identification!"

"Are you a police officer?" Senju muttered, but the girl opposite him didn't change her expression. "This place has been the territory of the Nase family since ancient times. If you don't show your identification, I will expel you according to the association's rules!"

"Expelled, huh? No wonder he's an recruited esper," Senju said with some emotion. It's a pity he never follows the rules. "Sorry, I'm not one of you, and I don't intend to follow your rules."

"Is that so? He's really hard to convince," Nase Izumi sighed, then looked solemnly at Senju. She twirled her large sword, and it slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. The two stared at the sword lying quietly on the ground, then fell silent for a moment. "What did you do?!"

"Hmm? You didn't know?" Senju shook her head slightly, looking at the girl opposite her whose face changed from cold to flushed red and then turned into murderous intent. "Then, do you know that there are parasites in your body?"

"Insects?" Nase Izumi asked in confusion, then his expression changed drastically. A layer of aura suddenly appeared on his body, but it was much weaker than when he first appeared. Senju understood from the other party's reaction. It seemed that the other party was someone who used insects to enhance his strength, just like the Aburame clan.

"Who exactly are you? What did you do to me?" Nase Izumi rolled over, picked up a knife, and looked at Senju warily. Senju shook his head, leaned back, and a chair appeared there. "I didn't do anything to you. Nase, it seems you're related to those siblings. They should have told you 'my' identity by now."

“Shinigami, Aizen Sousuke,” Nase Izumi calmly looked at the Senju. Although her strength had dropped significantly, she remained calm, at least on the surface, though the turmoil within her was almost overwhelming her. “However, even gods cannot act recklessly like this. The Association has an agreement with gods and monsters. This is a forbidden area for gods, and you are not allowed to interfere in our affairs!”

"Is that so?" Senju was slightly surprised, but then she realized that it was quite normal for a powerful supernatural organization to come into contact with other forces. Not to mention, the other organization had an official background. Did they really think that gods didn't need humans?!

“If you don’t show me your identification, I’ll kick you out right now,” Nase Izumi said, raising his hand and a thin layer of ice appeared on the ground around him. Senju looked at him in confusion, “What are you doing? Freezing grass?”

"Damn it!" Nase Izumi, who seemed to want to say something, was choked by the sight. She had clearly used all her strength, and this was all she got? So, if she were to issue a warning, like "having the higher-ups issue a warning or something," it would sound like she was begging for mercy. How could she possibly say that?

Nase Izumi, whose eyes had darkened, was truly giving it her all. Then Senju saw several thin ice walls slowly rising around her, seemingly trying to surround her. However, the speed was rather slow. Senju yawned in boredom, and the ice wall next to her rose by five centimeters.

"Fire," Senju said, a large fireball appearing in his hand.

The heat it emitted immediately dispelled the surrounding ice. Senju suddenly lost much interest in this Nase Izumi. "Don't be so tense. I'm just staying here for a few days. By the way, you said this is the Nase family's hunting ground. Well then, consider this as rent."

As Senju spoke, she stood up and stuffed a bag containing dozens of Youmu Stones into her arms. Nase Izumi, who was casting a spell, felt a weight in her arms, and then the man who had been sitting there appeared in front of her, while she had a bulging bag in her arms.

She instantly took a large step back, while Senju was still clapping. After all, the other person's movements were too perfect. Nase Izumi, who had flipped back, looked at Senju warily, "What exactly does this mean?"

"What do you mean? If there's nothing else, then leave. My affairs are none of your business," Senju said, glancing at the Youmu Stone to the side. He waved his hand casually, pondering what use this thing was. This thing was, after all, a 'spirit crystal,' although the difference between it and a real spirit crystal was about the same as that between coal and diamond. But this thing must have some use.

Nase Izumi, standing to the side, stood there holding the bag for a while. Although Senju had been somewhat arrogant earlier, his current dismissive attitude was even more hurtful. Feeling the significant weakening of the power within her body, she glanced at the dozens of Youmu Stones in her pocket.

Nase Izumi decided to re-transplant the destroyed insect-shaped Youmu later, but for the sake of her family, she still had to say a few words: "Shinigami, Aizen Sousuke, we will protest to Takamagahara. I hope you won't run away then."

"Hmm," Senju hummed casually. Who cares about the gods of Takamagahara?! What he needs is the most basic data on the fundamental gods. He waved his hand and picked up the Youmu Stones on the ground. He'll grind them into powder, mix them together, and let's see if the appraiser introduced by Ninomiya-sensei can tell the difference.

"Oh my, does the God also want to destroy the other side of the boundary? We can..." While Senju was faking it, a bespectacled man with a fake smile walked out from behind a tree. He was still pretending to push up his glasses. Senju glanced at him, then slapped him to death with a backhand. "Hmph, bugs are so annoying!"

Well, like Nase Izumi, this person also has a bug-like youmu residing in their body. However, the difference between this person and Nase Izumi is that their soul has been completely fused with the bug. To put it simply, it's similar to the difference between Matou Sakura and Matou Zouken.

Moreover, he had been spying on us from the sidelines, and all sorts of dark thoughts were running rampant in his mind, which greatly annoyed Senju. However, since his initial target was Nase Izumi, Senju didn't pay any attention to him. But then he suddenly unleashed a large amount of hatred and malice at Senju, and this time Senju wouldn't hold back. And forget about fake smiles, he was now the ultimate boss of fake smiles!

Chapter 1408 Expensive Counterfeits

"Miroku? Why is he here?" Nase Izumi recognized him, but unfortunately he had already been killed by Senju... or rather, by Aizen. Then Senju put away the super-pure 'Youmu Stone' the size of a basketball he had created, and slowly walked to the side. Nase Izumi, on the other hand, was very calm, watching Senju slowly leave.

"It seems their relationship isn't that good," Senju thought to himself as he walked slowly. He had thought that after he killed that man, Nase Izumi would at least try to stop him, but the other party did nothing at all. Instead, he felt a little happy.

Well, Nase Izumi didn't react at all. In the end, the two of them were just using each other. She didn't have any good feelings towards this man, Fujima Miroku, and was always on guard against him. Although the Youmu inside her was transplanted by him, it left her with painful memories!

Now that the parasitic youmu are gone, her strength has plummeted. She is no match for the Shinigami Aizen. If she were to make a move now, she would only become another victim. After thinking for a moment, she headed away from the city. She decided to seek help from the association's headquarters. With her true strength exposed, she didn't know how she could face her younger siblings when she got home!

Of course, Senju, who had left this place, had no idea about the actions of the disheartened older sister. He had already arrived at the entrance of that photo studio, but while it was labeled a photo studio, there was a coffee shop sign next to the entrance. Was this a mixed-use shop?! However, there was a "Keep Out" barrier set up around it. Did they not want customers?

Pushing open the door, the space inside wasn't very big, or rather, it was a bit cramped, but it was arranged quite uniquely. At the end of the passageway directly opposite the door was a curtain, and on both sides you could see props such as coffee pots and various decorations. On the right was the counter, and on the left was a section divided into several small semi-enclosed rooms, which could accommodate more than a dozen people.

Looking around, Senju rolled her eyes. She didn't see anyone related to the boss. In fact, there was nobody here! Looking around again, Senju called out, "Is the boss here? Is the boss here?"

As he spoke, he casually picked up the 'Youmu Stone'. The typical Youmu Stone is an irregular gray stone inlaid with crystals of different colors, but the one in Senju's hand was made up of countless crystals of different colors, making it look dazzling and very beautiful.

Of course, Senju still managed to get a few high-quality Youmu Stones, while the ones that looked less desirable...

The crystal, which contained no stones, was melted down by the Thousand Hands and then preserved.

After calling for a while, a cute girl emerged from behind the curtain. However, Senju immediately recognized her true form: a cat demon, but different from a normal cat demon. Was this a humanized youmu? But why was she an orange cat?! Aren't normal cat demons black?!

"Guest, guest, what is this?" The cute girl stammered, looking at the 'crystal ball' held in Senju's hands. Senju smiled maliciously, "Little cat, can't you tell? This is a Youmu Stone!"

"Is this really a Youmu Stone? It's huge!" The girl didn't seem scared by Senju at all; instead, she looked at the ball in Senju's hand with great interest. "It's so beautiful! What kind of Youmu is this?"

"Um, are you the shop manager?" Seeing the girl reaching for the 'ball', Senju had to remind him, "I want to sell this Youmu Stone."

"Oh, shopkeeper," the girl realized what was going on and reached inside. "Guest, if you're selling Youmu Stones, please come this way with me."

Senju followed the girl upstairs. The girl introduced herself, and Senju learned that her name was "Ai". However, once inside, Senju found that the space was quite spacious, with several Japanese-style private rooms. Ai then led Senju into one of the rooms.

However, Senju had a few complaints about the scene inside. There was a very old-fashioned camera, the kind where you take pictures with your head covered, and someone was taking pictures inside. There were two other people standing next to them, and opposite them was Kuriyama Mirai, wearing glasses and a sailor uniform, striking a seductive pose. What the hell was this?! Do demon-slaying warriors have to take photos?! Senju said she could have one herself.

But after everything that happened today, the other party is really carefree. While Qian Shou was silently complaining, Xiao Ai said, "Xiao Cai, someone wants to sell Youmu Stones. They look very big and beautiful."

"Hmm?" A head peeked out from under the cover of the old camera. It was a mature woman with a Japanese style. However, Senju, who could see through her true form, just wanted to complain. Her true form should be a nine-tailed white fox, right? But her form seemed a little off. She didn't look like a fox at all. Instead, she looked more like the five-tailed Kokuo.

Well, there are all sorts of strange and wonderful yokai, and yomu have even more forms. Senju didn't say much, but held up the yomu stone in his hand and asked, "How much can this sell for?"

"This is... a Youmu Stone?" Youmu appraiser Shindou Ayaka looked at the shimmering sphere in the other person's hand and was surprised. She could clearly sense that it was a Youmu Stone, but why did it look like this? She had never seen such a mixed and dazzling Youmu Stone before. The people next to her also looked over. "What a big/beautiful/valuable Youmu Stone! Ah, it's you!"

"Hey, hello everyone," Senju waved, then looked at the shop owner, "Boss, give me a photo album later too!"

"OK!" Shindo Ayaka nodded with a smile, while Kuriyama Mirai across from her muttered, "Unpleasant..."

Ignoring the displeased Kuriyama-kun, Shindo Ayaka was intently looking at the ball held by Senju. "This is truly rare. I've never seen a Youmu Stone of this quality before. But as for the price..."

"At least one hundred million!" Shindo Ayaka held up one finger, and the people around her immediately shouted, "One hundred million?!"

"One, one hundred million?! How much is that? How much is one hundred million?!" Kuriyama Mirai was trembling as she wiped her glasses, while Senju remained calm. "One hundred million? It's a little less than I thought."

“Um…” The three people next to him didn’t know what to say. Shindo Ayaka was still smiling. “However, one hundred million yen is just the base price. We still need to do an appraisal. Then we’ll know its true value.”

“Well, that makes sense,” Senju nodded, then looked around. “But I have some doubts about your ability to pay.”

Chapter 1409 Another Counterfeit Goods

"Well, don't worry about that. As long as the quality is guaranteed, I'll definitely raise the money," Shindo Ayaka said, then looked at Kuriyama Mirai, who was frantically posting on her blog across from her. "Kuriyama-san, it's okay if we have to take a break from work for a while, right?"

“Absolutely no problem. Anyway, I’ll never earn a hundred million in my entire life. Of course you can give me up for that money,” Kuriyama Mirai frantically pressed the collect button, then saw Shindo Ayaka’s gesture and quickly nodded. If she didn’t nod, she would have her pay docked! Shindo Ayaka then looked at Senju, “Guest, would you mind if a few people watched?”

"They're no problem, I was just looking for them," Senju nodded, and the three people next to him immediately turned into sour faces. Ai asked curiously from the side, "Guest, do you know Akito and the others?"

"Well, I met them at school today. I don't know how they felt, but I felt quite happy," Senju said with a smile. The three people over there, Kanbara Akihito, Nase Mizuki, and Kuriyama Mirai, all wanted to say 'not pleasant'!

"Oh, I see. It's a pity I didn't see Xiao Ai today," Xiao Ai sighed. The three people beside her were kneeling there, seemingly trapped in a nightmare, and Qian Shou helplessly patted her.

He looked at her hair and said, "Luckily, Xiao Ai isn't there today. Uncle played a very exciting game with them today."

"Could it be that you are Mr. Aizen? No wonder you were able to obtain such a Youmu Stone," Shindou Ayaka reacted quickly, looked Senju up and down, and then nodded. "I've heard Ninomiya-sensei mention you before; you're a very powerful master."

"Well, it's alright," Senju shook his head slightly, then looked at the three people beside him. "They should have told you my identity by now, right?"

“Well, I did mention it briefly, but,” Shindo Ayaka looked at Senju, a long pipe appearing in her hand, “among the Shinigami I know, or rather, in the pantheon of Takamagahara, there is no Aizen Sousuke. Well, that has nothing to do with me.”

“Is that so?” Senju nodded, then looked at the other person. “However, smoking is harmful to your health, and there are children here, so you should smoke less.”

"Cough cough cough," those around her choked a little, but Shindo Ayaka quickly regained her composure, put away her pipe, and gestured to the side, "Mr. Aizen, this way please."

Then the group went to a nearby room, but there was only a small table inside, surrounded by tatami mats. After taking off their shoes, the group went in and sat down at the table. Senju also placed the 'ball' on the table. "What exactly is the purpose of this Youmu Stone?"

“Don’t you know?” Shindo Ayaka took out a box from the side, opened it, and found a stack of talismans inside. “Youmu Stones can be used to make talismans, weapons, and various potions. The Otherworldly Warriors Association has been pursuing high-quality Youmu Stones. I heard they have a secret purpose for them.”

"Is that so?" After hearing what the other party said, the first thought that popped into Senju's mind was that the Otherworld Warriors Association could use Youmu Stones to travel between worlds or neighboring worlds. Once this thought appeared, it took root firmly in Senju's mind!

“Well, according to the procedure, I shouldn’t accept this Youmu Stone,” Shindou Ayaka said with a smile, her hands still setting up the rune array. “However, Aizen-sensei is a distinguished guest, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a Youmu Stone like this. I’m very curious, so I’ll make an exception this time.”

"Oh," Senju said, indicating that he was a bald man without emotions, but then realized that his character was Aizen, so he smiled warmly and said, "Well then, thank you."

“Then, let’s begin,” Shindo Ayaka said, and moved her fingers. The talismans around her instantly flew up and stood upright around the 'sphere'. Finally, the pile of talismans formed a cylindrical shape, and the aura on them and the aura on the sphere resonated with each other.

Senju also looked over and then discovered that the talismans were used to detect energy in another dimension. After they came into contact with the aura on the sphere, they slowly began to spontaneously combust. The people next to her were quite surprised, "We've never seen such a change before, Miss Shindo."

“Hmm,” Shindou Ayaka nodded, her expression becoming much more serious. She then directed more talismans, and after a while, she nodded solemnly, “This Youmu Stone is equivalent to more than two hundred Grade A Youmu Stones. Youmu Stones of this purity…”

"More than two hundred? In that case," Kuriyama Mirai counted on her fingers, "that means it's more than two hundred times the normal price, almost two million yen. Phew, I feel relieved."

"That's not how it should be calculated," Senju couldn't help but complain from the side. "As the purity increases, the price should rise exponentially!"
