"What deal?"

"If I can make your sword gain a sword spirit, I hope you can go to a place with me." Amamiya Haruki's expression was full of seriousness.

After hearing these words, Lin Qiye felt relieved.

For strangers, this kind of simple and clear transaction makes them feel more at ease than inexplicable kindness.

"Where?"

"I can't tell you now, but that place is a bit dangerous, and... the Huojin Sword can't be used."

"So, you want me to protect you?" Lin Qiye instantly understood what Amamiya Haruki meant.

Amemiya Haruki's power comes from the Kakuzu sword. If the power of the Kakuzu sword is banned in a certain place, then his situation will be no different from his situation in Japan. He needs someone who can exert power without the Kakuzu sword to protect him.

And he, an invader from the outside world, is the best choice.

"That's right." Amamiya Haruki said immediately, "You don't have to rush to reject me. Wait until we find that person and confirm whether he can repair this sword and give it a sword spirit, then make a decision."

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

After hearing his answer, Amamiya Haruki relaxed a little.

"Then when do we set off?" Lin Qiye asked.

"Before I go, I still have some things to take care of." Amamiya Haruki thought for a moment, "Two weeks later, go to the Fishing Boat Teahouse in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, and put a 50 yen coin in the potted plant on the left hand side of the entrance. I will come to find you."

"good."

Lin Qiye felt a little emotional.

As expected of a wanted criminal of the "Ghost" level, even the way of contacting him is so rigorous...

When Amamiya Haruki saw that Lin Qiye agreed, he nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the dark mountain.

At this moment, Lin Qiye's voice sounded again:

"Wait a moment!"

Amamiya Haruki stopped and turned to look at him in confusion.

"Are we allies now?" Lin Qiye said solemnly.

Amamiya Haruki thought about it and said, "Forget it."

Lin Qiye nodded, stretched out his hand, and spoke seriously:

"Lend me some money."

…

“Welcome to visit us next time~”

Following the clerk's sweet voice, Lin Qiye pushed open the door of the convenience store, carrying a large bag of things, and walked straight out.

Lin Qiye has now completely changed his clothes. He is wearing an ordinary blue hooded sweatshirt with the hood covering the outline of his face. He lowers his head and wears a black mask that covers half of his face.

As for the black windbreaker that Nyx gave him, it had turned into a hint of night and adhered to the surface of his body, making it completely invisible from the outside.

The only drawback of this attire was that whenever he walked behind a woman, he would be looked at with extreme vigilance, as if he were some kind of perverted stalker.

The Oracle's left eye seemed to have been modified. Lin Qiye knew that his appearance was likely to have been photographed. If he had not been unable to use the Forbidden Ruins, he would have used transformation magic to completely change his appearance and body shape. But in this situation, he could only use this simplest way of disguise.

Even so, he still deliberately avoided all surveillance cameras. Fortunately, this was a suburb of Yokohama, and the surveillance was not very dense, so it was not difficult to avoid them.

Lin Qiye was carrying a whole bag of food and daily necessities. He looked at the sky which was gradually turning pale, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in a certain direction.

…

Suburban, container.

"Xiao Youli, what day is today?" Under the dim light, Grandma He, who was folding paper cranes, seemed to remember something and asked hoarsely.

At the side, Yurina was squatting in the corner of the mattress, reaching into the cotton wool of the mattress to dig something out while thinking:

"It should be Sunday."

"Sunday..." Grandma He put down the paper crane in her hand and looked at the door of the container with cloudy eyes, "Aren't we going to worship the God of Fortune this week?"

Yurina was stunned, with some hesitation on her face.

"This week..."

Grandma He saw her hesitation and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiao Youli? Didn't you go to worship the God of Fortune once a week before?"

“…No, nothing.”

Yurina lowered her head and thought seriously.

Worshiping the God of Fortune is a habit she developed a long time ago when her mother was still alive and took her to the shrine to pray for blessings. According to her mother, only by praying to the God of Fortune regularly and devoutly can he hear people's wishes and let the light of fortune and wisdom protect them and keep them away from evil spirits.

Until now, she still keeps this habit, but what happened yesterday made her a little dazed, and she even forgot that today is the day to worship the God of Fortune.

So today, should we go or not?

Logically speaking, the police searched for her for the entire day yesterday and should have given up on tracking her. In addition, this place is only two streets away from the Fukugami Shrine, so there shouldn't be any problem.

But it's not just the police she's worried about...

After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded.

Perhaps, as her mother said, only by praying devoutly to the God of Fortune could he hear her wishes and protect them from the claws of the devil.

"Go!" she said, and then added, "Grandma He, please wait for me."

Yurina pulled out a small wooden box from the cotton wool of the mattress and pulled open the lid of the box. Inside were some small coins and a few old banknotes, which added up to about 9,000 yen.

This is all their savings.

After confirming that the money was all there, Yurina breathed a sigh of relief, took out 1,000 yen and kept it close to her body, then stood up and walked to the chair, helped up the staggering Grandma Tsuru, opened the door and walked out of the container.

The two of them walked slowly forward along the deserted road.

Under the blue sky, a few birds flapped their wings and flew over their heads. The warm sun shone on Grandma He's body, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

"What a nice day, little Youli." A long-lost smile broke out on her wrinkled face.

"Yes, it seemed to have rained heavily last night."

"Heavy rains in this season are rare."

The city after the rain was filled with a faint scent of earth, especially near the suburbs. Two people wearing kimonos and wooden clogs walked along the street towards the city.

Yurina supported Grandma Tsuru and walked for about twenty minutes until they arrived at a popular shrine.

For the residents here, different jobs, different stages, and different purposes require different gods to be worshipped. For example, for students who are about to take exams, they usually worship the god of learning, Sugawara no Michizane; for men and women who are about to get married, they usually worship the god of love; and for ordinary people, the most commonly worshipped gods are the Seven Lucky Gods.

The god of fortune and luck, Mahakala; the god of wealth, Ebisu; the god of infinite wisdom, Bishamonten; the god of blessings and freedom, Benzaiten; the god of fortune, Fukurokushou; the god of longevity, Shoulaoren; the god of good fortune, Budai-sang;

Here, they can worship different gods.

But they cannot but believe in God.
