Chapter 17 Finished this bowl of Ghost River[]~()~*
The 'ghosts' in the dungeon world in front of me are different from the ghosts that Jason has come into contact with.
Although they have similar collective names, the latter is intangible and tasteless, but the former is not only tangible, but also has a pretty good food aroma.
So, after the 'ghost' appeared, Jason returned directly to the shore and started simple cooking.
The convenience of [Charles Burning Technique] made Jason choose the barbecue mode first.
The meat is firm, salty without seasoning, and has a hint of spiciness.
It felt like eating spicy duck neck to Jason.
【Swallowing Ghost (Small)】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are moderately recovered!]
[Satiety +30]
【Satiety: 1068】
…
Compared with the previous 'food', the satiety of 'ghost' has obviously reached a higher level.
Moreover, the word 'small' marked in the brackets made Jason feel excited.
Since there is small, there is also big.
The small one has 30 satiety, and the large one should be at least 3-5 times more full.
Even more.
Of course, what’s more important is that there is a high probability of ‘eating excitement’.
When he thought of this, the corners of Jason's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Although his existing 'Eating Excitement' is enough to enhance [Protection from Evil] to extraordinary, Jason would definitely not mind having a little more 'Eating Excitement'.
However, that will happen later.
Now?
Jason stared at the 'Oni Nokawa' in front of him, his eyes filled with brilliance.
When he saw the 'Onigawa' for the first time, Jason suppressed his hunger and left.
The entire "Onigawa" exudes a faint scent of food.
Although it was almost inaudible, for Jason, it was still something not to be missed.
After all, wasting food is shameful!
Operation CD is the right thing to do!
But at that time, the situation was unclear and Jason could not confirm the danger.
And now?
No more needed.
The old monk Tongshou Temple and the man behind the scenes appeared one after another, making everything become clear.
Jason doesn't care about the 'fear' flag or anything like that.
Jason doesn't care about being in the same camp.
What he cares about is the taste of 'Onigawa'.
And the next moment, he tasted——
thump!
Jason jumped straight into the 'Onigawa'.
Instantly, the entrance is cold.
It's completely chilling and uplifting.
The slight sweetness and bubbly texture made Jason's eyes light up.
It's a pity that it's not sour plum soup.
Jason thought this way, but immediately devoted himself to 'drinking'.
Barbeque and sour plum soup go well together.
But Sprite is also good.
Feizhai water is also great.
The most important thing is to be able to ‘drink’!
Never forget the original essence because of choices.
You know, only children make choices.
Adults want it all.
If not, then grab what's in front of you.
That's what Jason is like.
Woo!
He suddenly opened his mouth. At the bottom of the 'Ghost River', Jason, who no longer concealed himself, opened his mouth to drive the flow of the surrounding water, and an invisible suction force came from the throat.
call!
The surrounding water immediately formed a vortex, passing through the throat and entering Jason's stomach.
"Jason!"
The moment Jason jumped into the Ghost River, Hui Lijing exclaimed.
Then, I wanted to jump down to save others.
"Calm down!"
"Jason is not a random person!"
Ryousuke grabbed Hui Lijing's shoulder, but the difference in strength was a bit different. He was brought down by Hui Lijing and fell to the board of the boat, hitting his injured arm just in time.
hiss!
Ryousuke took a deep breath.
Not only because of the pain, but also because I was surprised by Hui Lijing's strength.
How can a woman have so much strength?
Even if you are tall, you shouldn’t?
Could it be...a monster?
Are there any female, tall monsters?
Ryousuke was stunned and thought completely subconsciously.
The environment he was in and the experience he just had made the middle-aged detective's way of thinking unconsciously distort.
"Officer Ryousuke, are you okay?"
Hui Lijing helped the other party up.
"fine."
"Ms. Hui Lijing, are you a Bachi-sama?"
Ryosuke asked subconsciously.
There are many monsters who are tall and strong, but with the prefix of female, there are not many such monsters, and the most familiar one is 'Hachiku-sama'.
“Do you know what cow dung smells like?”
Hui Lijing asked with a bad look on her face.
Ryousuke:???
What's the problem?
Monster Q&A?
If you answer wrong, will you be eaten?
Ryousuke fell into hesitation for a moment.
At this time, Hui Lijing threw Liangsuke onto the board of the ship, raised her head and looked at the dim sky, and shouted loudly: "You hiding person, come out here?"
"hehe."
A contemptuous sneer in response.
Bang bang bang!
Angry, Hui Lijing took out a gun and started shooting into the sky.
Natural and useless.
On the contrary, it caused the river surface that had just calmed down to start rolling again.
One after another, the dark green 'water ghosts' rushed towards the ship again.
Hui Lijing and Ryousuke immediately fought back.
The old monk from Tongshou Temple stood there with his hands clasped together.
It's not that he doesn't want to help.
But it really can't help.
Except for 'substitute hair' and 'boat crossing technique', he only has two or three kinds of secret techniques that he is good at, none of which can cope with the situation at hand.
Once used, not only will it not help, it will directly expose his disguise.
Let that Tsuchimikado launch a complete attack.
Then?
Of course it goes without saying.
Being able to die happily is a great blessing.
The greater possibility is that life is worse than death.
Thinking of this, the expression of the old monk Tongshou Temple became more and more calm and peaceful.
Since there's no point in rushing, it's better to wait and see what happens.
Maybe……
Maybe a miracle will really happen.
"Tong Shou Temple, why don't you take action?"
Just as the old monk Tongshou Temple stood there calmly and waited quietly, the voice of the Tsuchimikado sounded again in the sky.
In the 'time of encountering the devil' created by Tsuchimikado with the help of heaven and earth, he could clearly see the calm and peaceful expression of the old monk Tongshou Temple, which made Tsuchimikado even more vigilant in his heart.
The old monk Tongshou Temple is definitely stronger than him.
Even if they suppressed the old monk Tongshou Temple with the help of the 'Time to Encounter the Demon' and bait, if the two of them actually fought, the outcome would only be a 50-50 split.
Therefore, he absolutely does not want to take action unless it is absolutely necessary.
What he wants to do is to use his power to overwhelm others!
Threaten the old monk Tongshou Temple with the lives of Jason, Hui Lijing, and Ryosuke.
Although I don’t understand why the old monk Tongshou Temple cares about the lives of a few ordinary people, this is a rare and valuable opportunity for him.
Thinking of this, Tsuchimikado spoke.
"Although this is just a projection of the 'Onigawa' branch."
"But when ordinary people enter here, they have to be dissolved into a skeleton within a breath, and then the essence becomes the nourishment for the water ghosts among them - this Jason is very good, the training of those exorcists seems to be quite effective, he has not yet
die."
"But this is only temporary."
"Eventually...he will also die."
"Are you going to watch him die?"
"Or are you going to save him yourself?"
This Tuyumen oppressed Tongshou Temple Lao He with his words.
This Tsuchimikado doesn't care about Jason's life or death.
What he really cares about is what the old monk Tongshou Temple will do.
If the old monk Tongshou Temple really chooses to jump into the "Ghost River" to save people, then it would really be... nothing could be better!
With the restraint of 'Onigawa', he would have more confidence even if he had to take action.
"Dependent origination and cessation occur in an instant."
The old monk of Tongshou Temple put his hands together and saluted slightly.
He wanted to say something else, but he didn't know what to say at this time.
We can only deal with it with the words of the real old monk Tongshou Temple when he died.
In fact, the old monk Tongshou Temple always does this when he doesn't know what to say.
And every time, the results are very good.
With the help of the power of 'Yin Yang Jutsu', this Tsuchimikado felt inexplicably nervous in his heart when he saw the peaceful old monk from Tongshou Temple saying such words.
If the situation were different, he would never be like this.
But he obviously tried his best to arrange it.
The other party really fell into the trap.
But the other party's An Ran expression made him feel as if he had fallen into a trap.
Could it be...
Did I really fall into a trap?
Impossible!
I've got the situation under control!
Tongshou Temple is just bluffing!
"Old monk Tongshou Temple, I am..."
Just when Tsuchimikado wanted to say something else, his voice suddenly stopped.
He stared at the 'Onigawa' with wide eyes.
In fact, it's not just Tsuchimikado, Erisuke, and Ryosuke who are like this.
They finally discovered something was wrong!
Vortex!
A whirlpool appeared on the shore!
It is not a normal undercurrent in the water. The entire vortex is like a tornado. However, it is not on the surface of the water, but under the surface of the water. It is like a vortex formed by pulling out the plug of the bathtub.
But this vortex is much scarier than the vortex formed in the bathtub.
What's even more frightening is that it continues to expand.
Soon, the water ghosts in the Ghost River were affected.
The originally ferocious and crazy 'water ghosts' seemed to have encountered natural enemies one by one. They let out a moan and moved away from the vortex, but the suction of the vortex was too great. They only relied on their own paddling.
Water is completely impossible to fight against.
One, two, three...
Soon, groups of 'water ghosts' were sucked into the whirlpool.
It's like an impatient person drinking bubble milk tea. At first, he sucked the pearls one by one with a straw, but later, when it was too much trouble, he just tore off the lid and poured it into his mouth.
In the end, even the rumbling sound of the river could not cover up the roar full of pleading.
Hui Lijing and Ryousuke stood on the boat and stared blankly at this scene.
"Jason did this?"
Ryosuke asked in a daze.
Although the middle-aged detective had been trying to persuade Hui Lijing to calm down, he was not too optimistic about Jason who jumped into the water on his own initiative.
Although he didn't know what was special about the 'Onigawa River', the swarming of 'water ghosts' was enough for the middle-aged detective to make the most intuitive judgment.
Unless it is a fully armed team of a hundred people and equipped with equipment such as gunboats, otherwise, facing such a "water ghost", it will only end up being reduced to food.
As for why they were able to persist for so long?
This middle-aged detective knew it very well.
This is just the mastermind behind the scenes taking advantage of the situation to force Master Tongshou Temple beside him.
What if it's true?
Just rely on his and Hui Lijing's two pistols?
I'm afraid it will be torn into pieces in an instant.
However, if Hui Lijing is the 'Hachiku-sama', then maybe there is still a chance of survival.
And him?
Naturally, it has become a meal on the plate.
"Of course Jason."
"Is this the power of the Exorcist?"
Hui Lijing's eyes gleamed.
She had an agreement with Jason. She would help Jason find those weird cases, and Jason would teach her some "mysterious" knowledge.
Hui Lijing has felt the power of this knowledge before.
But it wasn't as direct as it is now.
Can the entire river be ‘drink’ dry?
What secret technique is this?
Or some kind of prop?
Hui Lijing guessed.
The female detective did not believe that Jason actually drank up the Onigawa River.
You know, no one has such a big stomach.
Not only Hui Lijing thinks so, but the old monk Tongshou Temple, the Tu Yumen, also thinks so.
"Did Jason become aware of this Tsuchimikado's arrangement and make preparations in advance?"
"That's right!"
"Only in this way can we explain the calmness of this person from beginning to end."
“It turns out I came prepared!”
The old monk from Tongshou Temple could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just come prepared!
At least, he survived again.
Compared with the relief of the old monk Tongshou Temple, the Tsuchimikado was extremely angry.
"Is it because of Ichiro Aijo's previous temptation that exposed me?"
"Did the damn exorcist use divination?"
"The most disgusting thing is the old monk Tongshou Temple!"
"No wonder he was so calm just now and I felt uneasy. It turns out that he has already seen everything and has been waiting for me to get involved!"
The Tsuchimikado gritted his teeth and made a squeaking sound.
But things have already happened.
What can he do?
The only way is to recover the losses to the greatest extent!
The 'Onigawa' river must never dry up.
Even the projection of a tributary is one of his biggest trump cards. The loss here... is not worth it!
Thinking of this, the Tsuchimikado waved his hand.
Hui Lijing, Ryosuke disappeared.
Jason at the bottom of the river also disappeared.
The old monk Tongshou Temple put his hands together and bowed before disappearing with the boat.
The next moment——
Everyone appeared in the courtyard.
In the crisp sound of "Frightening Deer", Hui Lijing and Ryousuke saw the mastermind behind the scenes.
Both were surprised by each other's beauty.
But Tsuchimikado didn't even look at the two of them, he just looked at the old monk Tongshou Temple with a scrutinizing gaze.
He did not forget his words.
Go back on your word?
His pride did not allow him to do this.
But he could fulfill the agreement and treat the other party as his lord... He was a little unwilling to do so.
The old monk Tongshou Temple looked at Tsuchimikado and instantly guessed what he was thinking.
However, at this time, he did not speak.
He knows the virtues of these famous families very well.
At this time, if he opens his mouth and tells the other party that he does not need to fulfill his obligations, he will definitely be regarded as an insult by the other party and will fight to the death.
But if you take the initiative to fulfill the agreement, the other party will regard it as an insult and continue to fight to the death.
Therefore, staying silent is the best way.
Leave everything to the other party.
However, soon, the old monk Tongshou Temple discovered that something was wrong.
After the other party's eyes stayed on him for a moment, he looked at... Jason.
The other party was looking at Jason.
Um?
Why do you feel like killing?
The old monk Tongshou Temple was full of surprise.
But Tsuchimikado was the most surprised. Not only did he feel the murderous intention, but he also felt an unprecedented danger.
How is that possible?
How could a mere exorcist, who looked like a lost dog, give me this feeling?
Of course there are powerful ones among the exorcists.
Not to mention the twelve ‘Xingyao’ exorcists.
Some of the most famous exorcists alone deserve his treatment.
But Jason was definitely not included in Tsuchimikado's thoughts.
Could it be...
Everything I saw was an illusion!
Is there a deeper truth to everything?
The Tsuchimikado looked at Jason with some astonishment.
There is one more guess in my mind.
Suddenly, sweat appeared on his forehead.
You know, an old monk from Tongshou Temple made him no match.
Plus a hidden exorcist?
He is dead!
what to do?
calm!
There must be a solution!
Tsuchimikado's brain began to spin rapidly.
But Jason is much simpler!
All he knew was that the guy in front of him was disturbing his 'drink'!
Then you have to accept his wrath!
Jason was about to take action immediately.
But at this moment, the old monk Tongshou Temple walked up to Jason.
"very good."
"You passed my test."
"From now on——"
"You are the new Tongshou Temple, and the 'Wei' flag will be handed over to you for safekeeping."
The old monk from Tongshou Temple said seriously.
Jason was stunned.
And at this stunned moment, the Tsuchimikado rushed down the steps, knelt down in front of Jason, and pressed his forehead to the ground——
