For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.
Shizuku, Kabayashi Kirie, and the mysterious kimono girl surrounded the prey from three directions respectively. Shizuku and Kabayashi Kirie were in the same group, and behind the kimono girl was a tall man in a blue robe and mask. In terms of numbers, both sides were equal.
"Who are you?!"
Shizuku remained silent, but Kaname Kirie was clearly not going to let it go. She stared at the kimono girl angrily and asked. In response to Kaname Kirie's question, the kimono girl smiled slightly.
"I am Meixi, the watcher of gods and demons."
“Gods and demons…”
Hearing this, Kagami Mist's expression changed slightly.
“Japan also has this thing.”
“…”
Shizuku remained silent while staring at Miyu - well, the reason was simple, this was also one of the protagonists of My Youth Returns.
Miyu - the protagonist of the work "Vampire Princess Miyu". This work was not very popular at the time and was not widely circulated among the public. However, Kakino Narumi's painting style is quite elegant. Although the manga of "Vampire Princess Miyu" is a bit weird and like "Kara no Kyoukai", you can't figure out what it is about, but the painting style is really beautiful.
Unlike CLAMP, which is obsessed with dots, Kakinouchi Narumi's style is closer to ink painting, which emphasizes meaning rather than form. Of course, to be honest, I also like Yuki Kaori's style very much. Her delicate, decadent and beautiful style is also quite outstanding.
Hmm... But there probably won't be another "Angel Sanctuary" in this world...
We've gone too far, let's get back to the original topic.
The story of "Vampire Princess Miyu" is actually very simple. In this world, there is a kind of existence between gods and demons, called gods and demons, which are sealed in a distant dark abyss. They will be attracted by the darkness of people, appear in the world, and absorb the soul and power of humans. If Fang Zheng were to evaluate, this so-called god and demon is actually very similar to the inner demon in the immortal cultivation system. They all exploit the loopholes of the human spirit, then control it and finally destroy it.
Meixi is the monitor responsible for monitoring the gods and demons. Her job is to drive the gods and demons that escape from the dark abyss and do evil in the world back to the dark abyss.
So basically, "Vampire Princess Miyu" tells the story of a vampire named Miyu who expel gods and demons.
However, in this world, the so-called "gods and demons" are probably just a kind of monster race, and their essence is similar to "crow tengu" or "zashiki warashi". Looking at the expression of Kagami no Kirie, it is clear that she has heard of the race of "gods and demons".
"Excuse me, this is my prey."
The girl with the side ponytail looked at the two of them with a smile and spoke.
"Can you please let go?"
The current situation is like a soldier in the army who has committed a crime, and Miyu, as a military police officer, has to take him back for punishment, while Shizuku, as a police officer, also has the responsibility to escort him to justice. Of course, if both parties belong to the same group, perhaps they can solve the problem through coordination.
But now…
"I refuse."
Shizuku thought for a moment, and finally rejected Miyu's request. After hearing Shizuku's answer, Miyu looked at her curiously.
"As the monitor of gods and demons, I have the mission to drive the escaped gods and demons back into darkness. I think you came here to destroy it, right?"
"It has killed six people. I have to catch it."
Shizuku shook her head.
"How can I explain to the others that you drove it back into the darkness? Moreover, according to what you said, you only drove it back to where it came from. This is not really a punishment..."
As she spoke, Shizuku raised Frostmourne in her hand.
"And I have a better idea!"
"Rafa!!"
Miyu was not a pushover either. When she heard Shizuku's answer, she knew something was wrong and started shouting. As Miyu called out, the masked man behind her suddenly attacked and pounced on the god and demon in front of them.
"Wist branch, stop him!"
Seeing this scene, Shizuku hurriedly gave the order, and when Kaname no Kirie heard the order, her face was full of bitterness, as if someone had directly slapped her in the mouth with Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
"You want me to go?"
"Do your best!"
Shizuku threw down the last sentence and then rushed towards the gods and demons again. She was not sure whether the Kaname no Mist Branch could stop Rafa, because in the work, neither Miyu nor Rafa had an appropriate value for their fighting power. Especially Miyu, who basically rarely encountered any trouble from the beginning to the end. Most of the time, as long as she showed her identity, the gods and demons would either piss their pants in fear or desperately fight to the death.
But no matter which one it was, they were basically burned to death by Meixi.
In comparison, Rafa has been defeated several times, but strictly speaking, the fighting ability of the Kaname no Mist Branch is not that strong... It depends on her own ability.
Hearing Shizuku's order, Kagami Kirei was speechless. She was born in France, and there were gods and demons in the West, so Kagami Kirei knew a little about this race. With her experience, Kagami Kirei didn't want to get entangled with these guys, but now she was in the crosshairs, and there was nothing she could do. So Kagami Kirei shook her head, then waved her hand suddenly, and a large group of bats flew out and rushed towards the masked man.
The battle begins.
At the moment when the masked man started to attack, the god and demon that was originally blocked in place also quickly retreated, and took advantage of the gap between the two sides to flee. Shizuku and Miyu did not hesitate and started to chase the god and demon. Only Kagami no Kirie and the masked man were left entangled in the same place - how long they could fight depended on their skills.
So now the situation is that Shenmo is running in front, and Shizuku and Miyu are chasing behind. Since the negotiations have failed, there is no point in further internal coordination. The only thing left is to see who will catch the person first, the senior detective or the military police.
The poor unlucky guy was chased and blocked by both sides. He didn't run far before he rushed into a house and disappeared. Then Shizuku and Miyu jumped down and rushed straight in.
Shizuku was still in that "FBI, Open THE DOOR!" posture, and smashed the paper door in front of her head, rushing in as if to catch a suspect. Miyu suddenly waved her hand, and the paper doors on both sides opened automatically, and then she landed lightly on the ground.
The whole room was unusually empty.
There was no furniture in the Japanese-style room, which was as big as half a football field. There was only a girl lying in the middle of the room. She had her eyes closed and was lying in the quilt, looking like a sleeping beauty.
This is the host of the gods and demons.
From a certain perspective, gods and demons are more like parasites. They live on the dark side of people's minds, devouring their souls and lives to strengthen themselves.
Looking at the girl in front of her, Meixi stretched out her hand and pointed forward. The next moment, a huge black shadow emerged from the girl. The "vampire" who was originally wrapped in a cloak took off its external disguise and revealed its true face.
It looked like a giant, wingless mosquito, with a sharp, thin straw on its head and a body more than ten meters long, like a mosquito mouth on the tip of a peeled finger... This was the true face of this monster.
Mei Xi didn't even frown at this kind of monster. She was a watcher who specialized in catching those who ran out of the dark abyss to do evil. This happened more than once. Soon, the girl raised her hand and a ball of fire shot out, shooting at the gods and demons in front of her.
At the same time, ice was everywhere.
"boom!!!"
The ice that rose from the ground broke through the tatami and turned directly into a wall to block Miyu's flames. The latter frowned and looked at Shizuku who was holding up Frostmourne next to her.
"The soul of that demon and the girl have merged together. There is no way to save her."
Shizuku certainly understood what Miyu meant. She could also see that the relationship between the god and the girl was like a cancer cell. It had parasitized the girl's soul and there was no way to separate it. If the god and the girl were to be expelled, the girl would die as well.
For such victims, Meixi's usual method is to grant them eternal dreams, which, in a sense, is similar to spiritual euthanasia.
Their appearance will become like that of the walking dead, but their souls will be immersed in an eternal dream, enjoying beautiful dreams forever.
But Shizuku obviously had different ideas about this.
"That's just because you don't have the skills."
Hearing Meixi's dissuasion, Shizuku looked at her with the eyes of a famous doctor from a top-level hospital looking at a quack doctor. To put it bluntly, Meixi was just a military police and a jailer. She probably didn't know how to cure diseases and save people. But Shizuku was an expert in the study of the soul... or Fang Zheng was an expert in the study of the soul!
Of course, despite the retort, Shizuku's men did not stop. She swung out a sword to block Miyu's attack, then suddenly clenched Frostmourne and thrust it hard into the ground. Instantly, several icicles burst out and trapped the disgusting bug-like god and demon in them. Then Shizuku reached forward with her left hand, and soon, a chain flew forward, directly piercing through the disgusting bug's body and tightly entangled it.
Then, Shizuku grabbed the chain with her backhand and pulled it hard.
Ice Chains!!
“——!!!”
With a shrill scream, the insect monster's body suddenly exploded like a balloon, and ice spikes shot out from it, instantly turning it into a pile of rotten meat. Then, driven by the ice chain, the imprisoned insect monster suddenly flew up, rushed towards Frostmourne as if it was sucked into a whirlpool of a washing machine, and then instantly disappeared into the sword.
Then Shizuku raised Frostmourne and pointed it at the girl in front of her. After a moment, a ray of light shot out from the sword and hit the girl. Then the girl's face, which had been slowly turning pale, suddenly trembled and regained its color.
"Phew, done."
Shizuku snapped her fingers triumphantly, then turned around - only to find that Miyu had disappeared without a trace.
However, for Shizuku, this commission has come to an end.
After that, Shizuku found Hara Masako again and explained to her what had happened. She also entrusted her to investigate the girl who was possessed by gods and demons. As a local boss, Hara Masako was obviously quite good at this, and soon she found out about the girl.
According to Hara Masako's investigation, the girl's name was Aiko and she had been in a traffic accident before. In the accident, Aiko needed a large amount of blood transfusion. At that time, her parents knew that she could not be saved, so they asked the doctor to transfuse their blood to their daughter to keep her alive.
The final result was that Lan Zi, who received the blood transfusion, survived, but her parents passed away.
After this, Lan Zi's personality changed greatly. Not only did she become taciturn, but according to the girls who lived with her, she also often imitated a vampire biting a doll's neck and played some creepy horror games.
"What a sad topic."
After reading the report, Hara Masako also looked helpless, while Shizuku nodded. Obviously, the girl learned that her parents had transfused blood to her, and as a result, she survived but her parents died, so the girl obviously felt guilty. Perhaps she believed from the bottom of her heart that she was no longer a human being, but a vampire, because she survived by relying on the blood provided by her parents.
It is precisely because of this that the gods and demons can take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
"What now?"
Shizuku took a sip of tea and looked at Hara-Ma Sunako. She released the culprit from Frostmourne and showed it to Hara-Ma Sunako. After confirming that the criminal was caught, she executed him on the spot. On the contrary, this little sister Lanzi was more troublesome. She had no relatives and no suitable people, and she encountered so many things...
"I'll take care of her."
Hara Masako hesitated for a moment, then spoke quickly.
"She had spiritual power, and I believe her parents sacrificed their lives for their daughter, and obviously they didn't want to see their daughter end up like this."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After hearing Hara Masako's answer, Shizuku also nodded.
"What are your plans next, Ms. Kasugano?"
“As for me…”
Faced with this question, Shizuku thought for a moment.
"I'll probably go around the ancient capital and buy a house."
