Chapter 46

It was already night in Kyoto.

"President, please take me back. Thank you for your guidance in the future." The beautiful woman made a standard bow in front of a sports car.

After the pleasantries, the sports car drove off the street and quickly disappeared.

The woman's name is Nagasawa Michi. She is an idol who has suddenly become popular recently. With her highly recognizable voice and natural beauty, she has become popular on the Internet. Generally, after becoming popular, idols will choose to live in Tokyo to develop their careers, but Nagasawa Michi is different. She insists on living in her home in Kyoto.

The agent at the side wanted to remind Nagasawa Miji about tomorrow's schedule, but before he could open his mouth, the woman's cell phone suddenly rang, apparently reminding her of the alarm set at the time.

"Sorry, I have to go home first. Please email me about tomorrow's schedule. I have to go back." The woman clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture.

Without waiting for the agent's consent, the woman ran upstairs anxiously as if her house was on fire.

"Meizhi..." Before the agent could finish his words, the woman disappeared.

As an agent, a man would be annoyed by the idol's irresponsible behavior, but as a friend who has known her for a long time, the agent can't say anything. After all, no one knows what Meizhi has paid to become what she is today.

After all, three months ago, she was just an ordinary girl who was fired from the firm because of her mediocre looks.

The apartment where Nagasawa Michi lived alone was not far from the road. She set the alarm ten minutes in advance just for this kind of situation. It didn't matter if she was late for work or something, but if she had to go see that person at one o'clock in the evening, she would...

"Good evening, Meizhi." The hazy moonlight poured down like running water and sprinkled on the man's long silver hair. The sutures on his skin even had a kind of weird beauty at this moment. He was stroking the ragdoll cat of Nagasawa's family. Under his stroking, the cat's fur had completely stood up.

Nagasawa Michi didn't feel that there was anything beautiful about this scene. A creepy feeling went straight up her spine and she spoke with a trembling voice: "Master... Master, I'm so sorry, I'm late!"

The man who suddenly appeared in the house had an appearance between a young man and a boy, and was also as... cruel as a boy. When Nagasawa Miji first met him, she saw him, with a sweet smile, turning a tall man into a twisted monster.

But under his instigation, Michi Nagasawa still chose to cooperate with him. As she was trying to get the skin of a tiger, Michi Nagasawa was always trembling with fear.

The real person kindly let the cat go, jumped down from the sofa lightly, and said in a light tone: "Don't be sorry, I came early."

Only then did Nagasawa Michi realize that the time displayed on her phone was still a few minutes away from the time they had agreed to meet.

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the monster said again: "But Meizhi looks very scared. You don't mean to say that you don't welcome me to see you."

"No." Nagasawa Michi lowered her head and squeezed out two words from between her teeth. Not only was she not welcome, she was willing to pay any price if the other party could leave her.

A cold hand held Nagasawa Michi's chin to let her look up, and the other hand smoothed a strand of her hair and made a circle with the fingertips. The monster's face came closer and he whispered, "I'm so happy that Michi is willing to welcome me to your home. But Michi, you can't leave me, right? After all, your face is given to you by me."

About a month ago, one day, Michi Nagasawa suddenly found that she could see some monsters. They were everywhere. After discovering that Michi Nagasawa could see them, they chased her relentlessly.

The panicked woman ran into an alley and happened to see Zhenren dealing with a middle-aged man. Although Zhenren had an even more delicate appearance than the monster chasing her, Nagasawa Michi knew at a glance that he was a huge monster that was more terrifying than those ugly monsters.

However, the big monster did not hurt her. After a loud bang, her body was covered with dirty blood. Her face was lifted up by him and the stains were wiped off with the care of wiping precious objects.

"Do you want something to exchange with me?"

Michi Nagasawa exchanged a beautiful face from him to realize her lifelong dream, and what the monster asked her to do was to take advantage of the convenience of her job to get close to some people.

Nagasawa Michi had no idea what those people were like, but although most of them were inconspicuous in the crowd, they all had a kind of implicit arrogance towards her, or rather everyone else.

She couldn't always get close to those people, but occasionally bringing one or two home would satisfy the real person, who would then mark them and order them to do something.

Miji Nagasawa knew very few things and spent most of her time following the orders of the real person, but she also vaguely sensed that what this monster was doing was not simple.

The same was true today, and Zhenren came to see her to give orders.

"It's still in the same place. You should bring the next candidate here."

On the other side, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru listened to the whole story told by the Tsukumogami whom they met for the first time in their lives.

Xia Yujie's expression became more serious. He pondered and said, "Are you saying that someone has infused the cursed power of the cursed spirit into you and your companions, and that there are spies from the three great families?"

Mikazuki Munechika nodded and said, "And that cursed spirit should have the ability to change human souls. His cursed power caused the body of the Fusang God to mutate, causing us to fall into darkness."

Whether it's the cursed spirit that has the ability to change the shape of human souls, or even the three major families having spies infiltrate, these two pieces of news are not good news.

But Gojo Satoru was more concerned about another piece of news: "You said a kind-hearted person helped you? Do you know who he is?"

However, the Tsukumogami, who had always been honest with his information, was vague about this: "Adults are adults."

"Forget it." Gojo Satoru saw that the other party had no intention of telling them, so he did not ask any further questions. In fact, he suspected that the adult who helped the Tsukumogami was the city consciousness of Kyoto.

Xia Yujie also thought of this, but the unknown dangerous curse spirit in front of him was more important. He asked: "Mr. Mikazuki, when we found you today, you walked around the alley here several times. Did you find anything here?"

When asked the question, Tsukumogami frowned immediately, and Geto Suguru also became nervous. Could it be that they were in an area where they might encounter the enemy at any time?

The handsome Fusangshen's brows suddenly relaxed, and he tapped his forehead: "So I have been going around in circles here all along? Oh, it's normal for an old man to be a little unsure of the way. Investigations like this should be done by the short sword."

Geto Suguru, who asked the question, fell silent.

"But don't worry. The previous tanto did a good job. Now we just need to go to the destination given to us by the tanto and continue to gather intelligence." Mikazuki Munechika was not panicked. It was a very lucky thing to have a reliable partner.

"Where is the place that the dagger told you to go?" asked Xia Yujie.

"In a guesthouse called Goldfish in Ukyo Ward."

Xia Yujie opened the navigation on his mobile phone and fell silent again.

Gojo Satoru leaned over to take a look, then turned to look at Mikazuki Munechika who was still smiling: "Don't you know that up to now, you have been walking in the opposite direction?"

Fusangshen's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked a little shocked: "Is that so?"

"That's it!" Xia Youjie covered his face and summoned the flying curse spirit Rainbow Dragon, "You should go with my curse spirit."

Someone helped to show the way, and Fusangshen agreed cooperatively. At the same time, he suppressed his bone spurs while stepping on the back of Honglong.

He explained: "It's hard to explain if ordinary people see this."

"What did you just show us?"

Fusangshen raised a beautiful smile: "Hahahahaha..."

Inexplicably, the duo felt a thick black aura.

Geto Xiayou even whispered to Gojo Satoru: "Is your Tsukumogami always like this? Or did it become like this after the Dark Fall?"

It was the first time that Gojo Satoru saw a tsukumogami. He thought about his family situation and felt that it was unlikely that he would raise a tsukumogami with such a personality. He replied: "Maybe the dark fall affected his personality. Otherwise, his personality might be..."

He hesitated for a moment, thinking about who would have the greatest influence on the ritual vessels, and the first ones to be eliminated were the old antiques in the family. So Gojo Satoru was extremely confident: "Otherwise, Mikazuki might be more like me."

Geto Suguru: "...No no no, what the hell joke are you talking about."

The whispers of the two gradually turned into free speech. Fu Sangshen's hearing was actually very good. He heard the conversation clearly from the beginning to now. Perhaps it was because he had lived for too long that he was calm and had the mentality of an elder watching children play.

Soon they arrived at their destination. Kyoto still retains a part of the city layout from a thousand years ago. In the era called Heian-kyo, when the culture of Tang was highly respected, the layout of Heian-kyo was built in imitation of the capital of the Flower-Growing Kingdom, with Xijing Chang'an and Dongjing Luoyang. The influence that remains to this day is probably the areas that are still called Sakyo and Ukyo.

Ukyo was originally the location of the villas of the royal family and the public officials in ancient times, and it is still a residential area with expensive land today. For a guesthouse to be opened here, the identities of the people who play in it are self-evident.

"Sorry, you two can't go in." Naturally, the two high school students who were still wearing student uniforms were blocked outside the door.

The tall and slender Mikazuki Munechika was welcomed in as a distinguished guest.

Gojo Satoru, Geto Summer Oil: "..."

Just now on the Rainbow Dragon, Fusangshen was still clumsily removing the shoulder armor: "It would be better to change it a little bit."

Although he was aware that clothing might become an obstacle to entry, the scheming Tsukumogami did not remind the two students at all!
