Chapter 7 The defense is seriously insufficient (please recommend investment for collection)
"Captain, what kind of magic is this?"
Faced with the unexpected situation, Officer Obara became a little panicked.
Because all this happened in an instant, when the two of them came back to their senses, they could no longer see anything in the room, and only a strong white light remained in their eyes.
The two instinctively wanted to use some protective equipment and charms to resist this unknown magic. Captain Hoshino even reached into his chest and tried hard to pull out something.
However……
This white light seemed to be able to drain away the spirit power of the spiritual master, and even take away people's consciousness. The two people's spiritual power and self-awareness quickly dissipated as the white light shone.
Before her consciousness completely dissipated, Hoshino suddenly reacted, and an idea flashed through her mind that made her break out in a cold sweat.
It’s over, this is the fox demon’s charm technique that seizes people’s consciousness...
thump……
Not long after, both of them lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
On the same spot, the fox-tailed boy finally breathed a sigh of relief after a period of violent panting.
"Hoo, ho... it worked. Fortunately, I made some small preparations in advance. I always have three thousand shikigami shields on me. I also arranged the spirit-stealing curse barrier in the room in advance. There are also a few
Others can’t use it later.
Otherwise, we are almost going to fall into the hands of these terrifying Taishi Bureau spiritual exterminators!"
"That was a full eighty-level shikigami shield, and the opponent only used two soul-killing pistols.
If they had come up with a more powerful spiritual device at that time, or if they had called for support, it would have been dangerous!
No, three thousand weight is still too little, the defense is seriously insufficient, it must be thickened!"
Recalling the previous scene where the opponent broke through eighty layers of his shield, Haoren made some in-depth assumptions and suddenly felt frightened and deeply felt that his own defense was insufficient.
Insufficient firepower, oh, no, insufficient defense, is a very serious problem.
Although there weren’t many what-ifs this time, it was considered lucky, but what about next time? It’s impossible to be so lucky every time!
In fact, this is not the first time Haoren has been attacked by a spiritual master.
It has been a year since he inherited the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox demon. In this world where monsters are hunted down by humans as prey, Haoren has been living in human society for a long time.
No matter how well he hides it, there will always be times when his flaws are exposed. Just like today, he will always encounter some force majeure.
After all, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
In the first few days after inheriting Tamamo-mae's bloodline, because he was not very skilled in suppressing the demonic power in his body, he was discovered by an Onmyoji from Onmyolia and attacked him on the spot.
At that time, he had not yet mastered the demonic power and blood within his body. Of course, he has not fully mastered it even now.
Because, a year ago, after Tamamo Mae passed down his demonic power to him and awakened his first fox tail, he left without having time to teach him anything.
In other words, having all the demonic power but being unable to use it is the most serious problem that Haoren faces.
Fortunately, due to various reasons such as personality and environment, he accidentally learned a little bit of spiritual removal techniques such as onmyoji and witchcraft as a means of self-protection.
It was precisely because he learned these methods and his quick thinking that he was finally able to successfully escape from the Onmyoji.
Therefore, although it felt sudden to face the attack of the Spirit Exterminator again, he was still mentally prepared.
"Fortunately, I learned some spirit-removing techniques in advance!"
The crisis was finally over. Haoren took a breath and was very grateful for the decision he had made.
In this parallel world, not only demons exist, but humans also possess extraordinary powers.
Among them, the extraordinary power possessed by human beings is generally called spiritual power, and the spells released by spiritual power are generally called spiritual arts or spiritual removal techniques.
In the island country, spiritual arts are also called Shinto arts, because the island country believes in Shintoism, and the Shinto arts native to the island country can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the onmyoji practiced by onmyojis, and the other is practiced by shrine maidens.
witchcraft.
Of course, there are also new-concept spiritual arts like the Taishi Bureau that were born from modern technology, as well as Western European offensive magic and other spiritual arts that are not native to the island country.
Among Shinto arts, Onmyoji is better at shikigami and divination, while shrine maidens are better at spells and speaking spirits.
What Haoren had previously released was a kind of spell that witches are good at - the Soul Seizing Curse, which is a kind of spell specially used to deal with ghosts.
Of course, it is also effective on humans. Those who are cursed will have their spiritual power and strength taken away and lose consciousness.
"The spirit-removing officer of the Taishi Bureau seems to have set up a human-repelling barrier in advance, which is pretty good. Otherwise, the noise here would be too loud and might alert other people.
Okay, let’s clean up first!”
After calming down, Haoren quickly revoked the barrier. Then he bent down and picked up the barrier stickers on the ground one by one.
After doing all this, Haoren ignored the two unconscious people for the time being and waited at the door for a while. After making sure that no one noticed, he left his house and walked towards the next door.
A minute later, at Mrs. Muto's house, she looked at Mrs. Muto lying on the ground in front of her, seemingly unconscious.
Next to her was a male corpse that looked like it had been splashed with sulfuric acid and corroded beyond recognition, and there was so much resentment in the room that Haoren couldn't help but sigh.
"It turns out that it is a grudge ghost that is causing trouble. This kind of monster has no intelligence and can only attack based on instinct, but it is very powerful. It has reached the level of a C-level monster. It is no wonder that this spirit exterminator can't handle it!
But fortunately, the Soul Seizing Curse is the nemesis of ghosts, and the resentful ghosts should have been eliminated!"
A resentful ghost is a ghost that is formed by long-term resentment after death. It is also a ghost with C-level strength.
Ghosts are also one of the demons.
Human beings attacked by resentful ghosts are likely to be possessed by the resentful ghosts, lose their minds, and become wandering zombies.
Because resentful ghosts are afraid of light, people possessed by resentful ghosts will hide during the day and only appear wandering in the deserted wilderness at night.
Of course, there is a small chance that this person will be directly corroded by the resentful ghost, and his whole body will rot and die, just like the corpse in front of Haoren.
Compared with intelligent demons, most ghosts have extremely low intelligence and only retain their instincts or a little memory of their lives.
It is precisely because of their low intelligence that in this world where humans are strong and demons are weak, they do not hide like intelligent demons, but actively attack humans.
"It seems that Mrs. Muto is fine. She was not possessed by a grudge. She was just infected by resentment and fainted. Kaoru-chan is not at home either. It's okay!"
After discovering that Mrs. Muto was still alive, Haoren stepped forward to check the body again, but quickly shook his head.
"This man is probably hopeless. His body has been eroded by resentful ghosts. I remember his name. It seems that his surname is Maori, and his job is to be a spirit remover similar to the police. Tsk tsk, what a pity!"
What's a pity?
If you read another detective book, this person would be the protagonist known as the "Sleeping Detective".
It's a pity that in this parallel world of Tokyo, the "Sleeping Detective" failed to survive three chapters!
Without touching the body, Haoren took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Hey! Is this the Ghost Exorcist Branch of the Taishi Bureau of Hachioji Town? We have a supernatural incident here. Please send someone to solve it as soon as possible. The address is..."
Originally, Haoren was still having a headache. How should he deal with these Taishi Bureau affairs officers who suddenly broke into his home and discovered his identity as a fox demon?
You know, these three people from the Taishi Bureau came to conduct routine inspections.
If the three people disappeared out of thin air without encountering any accidents, they would definitely be traced by the superiors, and he would probably encounter more trouble later.
Now, the appearance of the resentful ghost has just helped him solve this urgent need and also acted as an unexpected situation.
"The next step is to consider, how to hide those two women from being discovered?"
While it would take some time for the ghost removal team from the Taishi Bureau to arrive, Haoren quickly returned to his two-story building while muttering to himself.
