Chapter 38 The retainers of Tuyumenyuan's self-cultivation
Quicklime in eyes.
The pain spread instantly.
Even if the other person can no longer be called a "human", the pain is unbearable for the other person.
However, compared to ordinary people, this serial killer with a twisted mind fired several shots at Ryosuke's location the moment the pain started.
Bang bang bang!
When the quicklime was thrown up, Ryousuke turned his head sideways.
The bullet hit the wall behind him, splashing cement slag and causing pain to the back of Ryosuke's head, neck and other places.
But what hurts more is my chest.
He was shot.
Not the heart.
But the lobe of the lung was punctured.
Ryousuke could even feel the blood gushing in his chest.
The pain was far more severe than before.
However, Ryousuke remained unmoved.
He quickly took out another gun from his armpit and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
A shot between the eyebrows.
One shot in the left chest.
One shot to the right chest.
The serial killer fell to the ground, his eyes covered with quicklime filled with disbelief.
Why does Ryousuke still have a gun?
Until death, the other party didn't understand.
"idiot!"
"Men are born with a gun."
Ryousuke coughed as he spoke.
Blood kept pouring out of his mouth.
He should be dying soon, right?
Such serious injuries are difficult to save even if they are sent to the hospital now.
Even if he is saved, there is a high probability that he will still be disabled.
He didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and have to be helped to go to the toilet.
That's too miserable.
It would be better to just die.
Even if...
I feel a little sorry for Jason.
We agreed to cover it up.
This time I have to take the blame.
Sorry!
Ryosuke felt a deep sense of apology in his heart.
Then, darkness struck.
Ryosuke completely lost consciousness.
…
Light.
A faint halo of light penetrated the eyelids, making Ryousuke wake up.
I'm not dead?
Or dead?
Where is this?
Santuchuan?
When Ryosuke's consciousness woke up, this information naturally popped into his mind.
If he hadn't come into contact with the 'mysterious side', Ryousuke would most likely think he was in the hospital at this time.
But after being exposed to it, Ryousuke's thoughts had already wandered.
I became a ghost, so I shouldn’t be an evil ghost, right?
If it is a ghost, will it be judged?
You should be able to see your parents and sister, right?
I hope my parents and sister can forgive me.
In his wandering thoughts, Ryosuke was filled with anxiety.
At this moment——
"When you wake up, sit up."
Liangsuke was stunned for a moment when he heard a slightly familiar voice. Then he turned his head and saw a handsome face.
Tsuchimikadomoto!
Ryousuke is quite familiar with this person.
However, this kind of familiarity is definitely not a positive thing.
He doesn't like this person.
Not only because of the other party's disregard for life, but also because of the other party's secret plan.
Although the other person should have an unusual relationship with Jason, Ryosuke just doesn't like him if he doesn't like him.
Undoubtedly, this look was reflected on Ryousuke's face.
"Is this how you treat your savior?"
Tsuchimikado Gen holds the folding fan in his hand and taps the palm of his hand gently, the sound is soft and warm.
A lifesaver?
He saved me?
Ryosuke was stunned.
Later, Ryosuke discovered that his ankles no longer hurt, and his lungs no longer felt the same. Apart from feeling slightly tired, there was almost no injury on his whole body.
"Onmyojitsu?"
Ryosuke asked subconsciously.
"What if?"
Tsuchimikado Yuan asked rhetorically.
Such rhetorical questions made Ryosuke feel awkward.
There was the embarrassment of asking questions knowingly, but more importantly, the embarrassment of not knowing how to face Tsuchimikado Gento.
He hates each other.
But the other party saved him.
He naturally wanted to express his gratitude, but because of his dislike, such gratitude would become very hypocritical, which he did not want to see.
Ryousuke hopes that the thanks are sincere.
But he couldn't hide his true feelings.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man was in a dilemma again.
What's more, this is a life-saving grace.
Thank you cannot be thanked in just a few words.
Ryosuke frowned and finally said this -
"Tell me how much it cost you to save me, and I will repay you three times."
"You save my life, I owe you two lives, and I will pay you back."
"besides……"
"Thank you, thank you."
It was extremely difficult, and a stuttering sound came from Ryousuke's mouth.
The corners of Tsuchimikado Yuan's mouth turned up, revealing a beautiful smile.
The onmyoji opened his folding fan and held it in front of his face, revealing his slender eyes and admiring Ryousuke's embarrassment.
That's right, just enjoy it.
Especially when I think of how the other party was angry and stubborn before leaving his mansion.
The scene before him made him feel even more interesting.
Stubbornness is still the same.
However, mixed with embarrassment, it is really fun.
Under Tsuchimikado Gen's gaze, Ryousuke became more and more awkward.
He wanted to open the car door and leave now.
It's just that Tsuchimikado Yuan hasn't told him how much it cost yet, so he needs to wait patiently.
"No need."
"I'm just helping the master avoid unnecessary trouble."
"This is what a retainer should do."
Tsuchimikado Gen waved his hand, looking indifferent, his tone was so understated.
But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable Ryosuke becomes.
"Jason?"
Ryousuke asked tentatively.
"What if?"
Tsuchimikado Yuan asked habitually.
Ryousuke fell silent.
He owed a favor again.
A huge favor.
How should he repay it?
Ryousuke thought.
At this time, Tsuchimikado Yuan spoke again.
"As my lord's retainer, I need to remind you: Don't involve my lord in those disgusting disputes - this is the first time, and I hope it will also be the last time."
"If it happens again..."
Tsuchimikado Yuan lengthened his tone, and there was a hint of coldness in his slender, beautiful eyes.
It was a cold light like a blade.
It made Ryosuke shudder.
Ryousuke almost subconsciously bowed and agreed.
However, at the last moment, Ryosuke held back.
"Do you know what happened?"
Ryousuke asked.
"Know something."
"The organization created by a group of guys who were both referees and athletes grew rapidly in the dark side, and then their ambitions began to expand."
"final?"
Tsuchimikado Yuan sneered and said no more.
Being both a referee and an athlete?
It means that he is both a policeman and...
Ryousuke was not a fool and reacted quickly.
His brows knit together tightly.
The wrinkles are far tighter than before.
With Tsuchimikado Gen's prompt, Ryousuke has thought of enough things.
"That one just now?"
Ryosuke asked about the doubts in his heart.
"Corpse puppet."
"Or...ghoul."
"He, no, is something in between."
"There is both Yin and Yang magic, alchemy, and so-called technology involved, creating a monster that pollutes the world with a stinking stench."
When mentioning the guy who was obviously a policeman but became a serial killer, Tsuchimikado Gen had a look of disdain on his face.
"Is it thought to be made?"
Ryosuke was stunned.
"certainly."
"Otherwise why would it appear?"
"After those guys' ambitions have expanded, they not only hope to have limited control over the present world, but they also want to have a hand in the other world... Haha."
Tsuchimikado Gen sneered again.
Then, the Onmyoji closed his fan.
Snap!
Amidst the crisp sound, the Onmyoji looked squarely at Ryosuke.
"I'm just telling you so much."
"These are not things you can get involved in."
"Especially when my lord is involved, you should know what to do."
Tsuchimikado Yuan said word for word.
Then, the car stopped.
As soon as the door opened, Ryosuke saw the car he was riding on before.
"I have wiped away the traces for you."
"All that's left is for you to return to the 'Glowing Cooking Pavilion'."
Saying that, Tsuchimikado Gen made a gesture of invitation.
Ryousuke walked straight out of the car.
The car didn't stop.
As soon as the car door closed, it quickly drove into the night.
Ryosuke frowned and stared at the car.
It wasn't until the car completely disappeared that Ryousuke got on the car and headed towards the 'Luminous Cooking Pavilion'.
The wind blowing in front of him did not relax Ryousuke's brows.
On the contrary, his face was almost wrinkled.
What should he do?
Do you really just withdraw and don’t care about anything?
But if he doesn't care about it, what does his previous persistence mean?
But if we continue to control it, what if other people are implicated again?
The more I think about it, the more irritable I become.
Ryousuke wanted to shout loudly.
But in the end I could only pedal the bike hard twice.
…
"My lord, will the officer give up?"
The partition separating the front row and the back row slowly fell down, and the waiter sitting in the passenger seat turned his head and looked at his host and asked.
This nominal waiter was actually Tsuchimikado Gen's retainer.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask at this time.
If an ordinary waiter dared to ask such a question, he would have been beaten to death with a stick.
"Arashimaru, what do you think?"
Tsuchimikado Yuan asked habitually.
"I don't think so."
"Because, that police officer seems like someone who won't give up."
"Even if he encounters a dilemma, he will definitely work hard to overcome it."
Arashimaru answered.
In fact, if Ryosuke would give up, Arashimaru wouldn't ask.
"Then what do you think he will do?"
Tsuchimikadomoto continued to ask.
"this……"
Arashimaru hesitated slightly.
It's not that he doesn't know the answer.
But he has already thought of the most appropriate answer.
It's just that this answer is a bit unrealistic.
"Speak out boldly."
Tsuchimikado Gen encouraged this very young retainer.
"suspended animation!"
Arashimaru gave his answer.
Tsuchimikado Yuan smiled and nodded.
"good."
"Besides faking his own death, what other choice could he have?"
"Since Ryousuke is dead, my lord will naturally not be involved."
Tsuchimikado Yuan said softly.
Arashimaru nodded, and then the young man was suddenly startled.
It seems, as if, all this was arranged by my master.
Could it be that the lord has already had such a plan?
Involuntarily, doubt appeared on Arashimaru's face.
"My lord has my lord's plans. As a retainer, I naturally have to share my lord's worries. Especially for someone like Ryosuke, it's better to leave my lord's side as soon as possible."
"And now, a method that does not harm the peace and takes into account the face of the lord is what we, as retainers, need to learn."
Tsuchimikado Gento admitted generously.
Arashimaru nodded thoughtfully.
Then, the retainer of Tsuchimikadomoto sat upright in the passenger seat.
"I will study hard."
"For my lord and Lord Jason."
Arashimaru said loudly.
Tsuchimikadomoto laughed.
He believed that Arashimaru would do it.
After all, Arashimaru grew up in his family.
He knew very well what this young man was thinking.
I also know this young man’s character very well.
Everything will develop as he imagined.
"My lord's power is still too weak."
"My own family is far from enough."
"More development is needed..."
Tsuchimikadomoto was thinking.
Naturally, he thought of the person he was about to meet.
Snap, snap.
The folded fan struck the palms of my hands again and again.
The crisp sound is very rhythmic.
Arashimaru immediately held his breath and concentrated. He knew very well that this was how his lord looked when he was thinking.
Akamaru, who was driving, also tried his best to make the car more stable.
The speed of the car did not slow down at all.
Soon, the car arrived at its destination.
A three-story mansion on the outskirts of Silver District.
The mansion is located on the top of the mountain, and there is a road leading here. The 'street lights' light up as the car approaches.
A bunch of will-o'-the-wisps just hung on the tree.
Several floating figures walked down from the top of the mountain in the distance.
Arashimaru looked at this scene and couldn't help but frown.
He doesn't like the other person's habits.
This is the same even if he comes from an Onmyoji family.
Akamaru?
If the lord hadn't spoken, he would have smashed all these things.
When the will-o'-the-wisp lighted up, Tsuchimikadomoto stopped thinking.
Looking at the shadow falling in the distance, Tsuchimikado Gento sighed slightly and shook his head.
"If this ancestor saw the appearance of his descendants, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of the coffin and beat up such unworthy descendants, right?"
Tsuchimikadomoto said.
"rest assured."
"Even if he wants to crawl out of the coffin."
"You also have to find your own coffin."
A cold yet sarcastic voice sounded in the car after Tsuchimikadomoto finished speaking.
Arashimaru's hand immediately grasped the handle of the knife.
Akamaru's eyes also turned cold.
"Bee, you are still like this."
"Can't you just learn to act like a normal person?"
Tsuchimikado Yuan's face showed helplessness.
"What does a normal person look like?"
"The normal person in my eyes is like me."
"On the contrary, you are the ones who are abnormal in my eyes."
In the cold voice, a figure sat opposite Tsuchimikado Yuan.
He is a young man in his twenties, wearing a black outfit and an Onmyoji cloak. His hair is hanging down, and his face is as cold as his voice.
Especially the eyes seemed lifeless and undulating.
Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable if they were looked at by these eyes.
But Tsuchimikadomoto didn't.
He spread his hands calmly.
"I came here because of the 'fear' flag."
"I just want to know the truth now."
As Tsuchimikado Gen spoke, he stared into the eyes of the person sitting opposite him.
The latter's lifeless and fluctuating eyes did not change at all under such gaze.
At the same time, in the ‘Glowing Cooking Pavilion’, there were bursts of exclamations——
