Al rubbed and rubbed it skillfully, and the tumbler, which was the body of the "Zashiki-warashi", was rubbed into a cursed spirit ball.
Well, Jie-chan's illustrated collection of 100 demons has another one to add to it.
——I am such a good father who loves my son.
Al kissed the cursed ball in a self-absorbed manner, and the surrounding area dissipated, and the child in the yellow kimono also disappeared from Shino's arms.
When they opened the door, they saw Geto's cursed spirits fighting passionately with the Tracing Army outside. Gojo Satoru and Geto were carrying out guests from every corner of the inn and throwing them into the lobby on the first floor for protection.
There is no need to worry about the tracing army. They can be handled by the cursed spirits of Kagome Geto. The key is to protect everyone here.
Gojo Satoru complained, "With such a big commotion, history is bound to be changed, right?"
Putting aside the question of whether anyone died or not, just looking at the guests who were frightened here, who can guarantee that no one has suffered a heart attack due to excessive fright, leading to a premature death?
Geto Summer Oil also has this worry.
When they looked up, they saw Al and Shino coming down from the upstairs, and Al threw the curse ball in his hand to Geto Suguru.
"It's Zashiki-warashi!"
Xia Yujie raised his hand to take the cursed spirit ball and smiled sincerely: "It's not a wasted trip to add a cursed spirit from hundreds of years ago."
"Yeah, that's right." Al jumped down from the stairs and agreed: "History is something that can be changed. The most important thing for a sorcerer is to exorcise the cursed spirits."
Xia Yujie poked his forehead.
"The second half is true."
The "Rainbow Dragon" bit the body of the last katana into pieces, and the last tracer army was also successfully defeated by them.
These strange-looking tracers are actually ordinary swords. After being forcibly injected with evil power, they became moving tools and can understand some simple commands. If you ask if they have their own consciousness, the answer is probably no, just like Geto Suguru's cursed spirits.
The guests who were woken up and forced to evacuate in the middle of their sleep huddled together, trembling and discussing anxiously, "What was that just now?"
"Monsters, so many monsters... and they can glow..."
"What should I do?"
"Mom, are we going to die?"
"No, no, no..."
The dark-skinned guy got up trembling, and was about to escape when they were not paying attention, but he was blocked by a female ghost with blood all over her head.
The female ghost's limbs were twisted, her long black hair was disheveled, her head was covered in blood, and strange noises kept coming out of her mouth. Her empty eyes reflected the panicked face of her colleague.
It was Kayako who I hadn’t seen for a long time.
"ah--!"
The guy's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Gojo Satoru laughed and said unscrupulously, "Jay, can't you just use a nice-looking cursed spirit as your guard?"
Xia Yujie curled his lips and said, "Isn't Kayako quite useful?"
As soon as this heavyweight curse pushed his way to the door, everyone screamed and retreated in unison, trembling and huddled together. The proprietress saw Al and the other two on the steps and quickly called for help: "Master! Master! There is a female ghost in there, please come and save us!"
Gojo Satoru rolled his eyes and said, "What should we do? If we let these people go like this, history will definitely become a mess. I don't care, but it still can't be done, right?"
Xia Yujie clasped his hands in his sleeves and walked slowly towards the shivering proprietress in the crowd.
He leaned over and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this someone you know? He's your old friend."
Old, old friend?
The proprietress looked stiffly at Kayako, and managed to recognize the outline of an old friend in that face covered in flour and blood.
"Sakura... Sakura... No, don't come to me. What happened back then... It wasn't my fault."
Gojo Satoru: “…”
Al: “…”
Oh no. Are you hooked?
Gojo Satoru pointed at the proprietress and turned to Al and said, "Is this what they call a guilty conscience?"
Al pretended to wipe away his non-existent tears with his sleeves, "Wow, our Jerry is getting better and better at playing tricks on people. I'm so relieved."
Kayako was such a good girl, but was coaxed into becoming "Sakurako".
"Oh?" Xia Yujie said kindly, "Sakurako? Come on, boss lady, tell me how Sakurako died. Maybe I can help you get rid of the evil spirit."
The proprietress trembled and said, "At that time... the adults in the city all liked Sakurako and often spent a lot of money on her. Then one day..."
She looked up at Kayako's pale face and found that Kayako was a little closer to them. She screamed in horror and said quickly: "One day, a lady brought her servants into the brothel, broke Sakurako's hands and feet, and smashed all the bones in her body! She tortured Sakurako for a whole day, and Sakurako... Sakurako was tortured to death!"
Xia Yujie uttered an "oh" and said expressionlessly, "What happened next?"
"Later... later that adult paid some money and asked us to burn Sakurako's body."
She quickly explained: "She is in a high position and has great power. I, I really don't dare to help Sakurako!"
"Oh."
Xia Yujie smiled and asked her, "Then was Sakura also burned in the room on the top floor?"
The proprietress shuddered and looked at him in disbelief.
Al "swam" over, dragging his light green tail, and lay on Kagome Jie's shoulder, revealing his sharp fangs.
"ah--!"
"There's a snake!"
"It's a snake demon!"
The innocent spectators were frightened to death by this terrifying scene.
Under the horrified gaze of the proprietress, Al, who was deliberately trying to scare people, said sinisterly: "Don't think we don't know. Huhuhuhuhuhu... We have talked to those children, and they said that they will no longer stay in that room in the future."
The lady boss was both horrified and secretly delighted: "...Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Al's voice was soft, and he narrowed his eyes like a snake spitting out its tongue: "Because, they decided to come into this world in your belly."
The proprietress covered her mouth and screamed, then slammed into the wall behind her, her forehead covered in cold sweat from fear.
"I...at my age..."
"It's not that difficult. Not to mention your age, even if you turned into a corpse, as long as the children wanted, they could be born in your body."
He pointed at the quiet guy standing next to him with malicious intent, and whispered to Geto Kagome in a voice that everyone could hear: "Oh, there's also him, he can give birth too."
"!!!"
The guy was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He wanted to crawl over and pull off Shayoujie's clothes, but Kayako's face appeared right in front of him, and the guy who had just woken up fainted again.
Al and Xia Yujie ignored them and walked away.
——You disgusting stinky monkey, live a nightmare for the rest of your life.
Al smiled and said, "How could he have the guts to burn so many placentas?"
They returned to the stairs, nodded to Toyama Shino, who was a little at a loss, and started discussing the previous issue again.
Can these people who witnessed the "Tracing Army" really just leave like this? Will this experience change their fate and lead to changes in history?
Al puffed his cheeks and said, "Why don't we just go back and reload the file and start over."
Anyway, we have the time-space converter, so the worst that can happen is that we can go back to the beginning when nothing happened and start over again.
Geto Xia Yu rubbed his cheeks and said, "Well... if there is really no other way, it seems that this is the only way we can do."
Gojo Satoru nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed a method. Anyway, we now know the historical coordinates."
If I reload the game, I can ambush Sato Nauka this time.
With a worst-case scenario in mind, they felt more at ease, and they talked about what happened during their separation. Al then remembered that there was a "Sugar Oil Jie's previous life" in this inn, and asked them, "By the way, Go-chan, Jie-chan, where is the medicine seller?"
He had a liking for the medicine seller whose mouth smelled of jelly.
Gojo Satoru and Geto shrugged.
"have no idea."
It's not that they were trying to fool Al, but they really didn't know that after they entered the medicine seller's room, they saw that the room was empty, without even bedding, and it was as clean as if no one had ever lived there.
Xia Yujie said: "We guess that the medicine seller left on his own."
The medicine seller did say before, "There's no need to stay overnight tonight," and he seemed to have really done so.
What a personality!
Xia Yujie thought: "Let's not talk about him for now. What I'm more concerned about is that Jigokumonjiang... Wu, have we heard of Jigokumonjiang somewhere? I always feel that he sounds very familiar. Has Mr. Yemo ever talked about him in class?"
"Hmm..." Gojo Satoru stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Ha, I remember now, is it the Jimonkō of Monk Genshin?"
Xia Yujie's eyes lit up: "That's right, after Monk Genshin passed away, the cursed creature that his body turned into is called Jigokumon-kyo!"
Al asked curiously, "Hell Gate?"
The owner nodded and said, "I heard it was a special cursed item, but it has been missing for a long time. In addition, the Hell Gate is not a cursed item used in combat, so not many people inquire about it in the black market. Over time, even the rumors have become less and less."
In other words, the spell itself is too unpopular and not very popular.
Gojo Satoru said, "Well, I don't know what kind of person Jie was in his previous life. He actually owns the prison gate."
Xia Yujie: “…”
Xia Yujie said tiredly: "I've already told you that he is not my previous life, Wu, you must have done this on purpose."
Gojo Satoru laughed.
At this moment, someone broke into the "tent" and opened the door.
There were three people wearing straw hats and raincoats. The one leading them was very tall, while the other two were only as tall as children. On the shoulder of the tallest one was a big, ugly fox.
They did not sense any breath of life from these three people.
The ugly and cute fox said, "My lords, I am Kitsunesuke, a shikigami sent by the government of time to assist you in correcting history."
It glanced at the fragments of the Tracing Army on the ground and was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, it seems we are late."
Al raised an eyebrow: "Fox?"
A talking fox!
Kitsunesuke wagged his tail and said obediently, "I am the fox shikigami, you can just call me Kitsunesuke. May I ask what the current situation is——"
Gojo Satoru pointed at the trembling guests and said, "You came at the right time. What are you going to do with these guys who witnessed the Tracing Army? Since you are a professional team, you should have your own way of dealing with it, right?"
Kitsunesuke immediately said confidently: "Please leave it to me. I can erase their memories of this period of time."
Wow, so awesome?
Kitsunesuke jumped down from the man's shoulder and spit out a ball of white light from his mouth.
A ball of white light carrying abundant spiritual power floated above the guests' heads.
Aldo: “Wait!”
He swam over smoothly, picked up the proprietress and the waiter, and smiled wickedly.
"These two guys can't lose their memory."
——Two monkeys who have harmed countless people should live in fear for the rest of their lives.
Kitsune's helper paused, but because he had been specifically instructed by his superiors, he did not say anything like "not in accordance with the rules" or show any surprise at Al's tail. Instead, he introduced: "This is a spiritual core left by a retired judge. Her talent is to erase the memories of others and then use her own spiritual power to construct a new memory to fill it in."
Gojo Satoru was interested and asked, "Is it so amazing?"
Kitsunesuke said proudly, "Yes, she is a rare person with abilities that only appear once in a thousand years. Unfortunately, after the spirit core left its original owner, the power of this ability is far less than before."
Having said that, this ability still helps the Time Government a lot.
The white ball of light shone brightly, and began to tamper with the guests' memories according to Kitsunesuke's settings.
The tallest man took off his hat, revealing his short blue hair. He had a handsome face and his temperament was very gentle and elegant.
He bowed to Al and the other two and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am Ichiki Ichibu. The only katana made by Awataguchi Yoshimitsu."
The two people behind him also took off their hats.
One has short black hair that is slightly longer, and the other has curly white hair.
"This is Yagen Toushirou, and this is Gokotai. They are both my brothers."
"Oh?" Al asked with interest, "Do swords also have brothers?"
"Yes." Ichiki Ichizuru said gently, "We are all swordsmen from the Awataguchi school."
No wonder they didn’t sense the breath of living people. It turns out that the ones sent by the Time Government to assist them were all spiritual swordsmen. Isn’t this very powerful?
Just this three-strike sword is enough to defeat the monsters sent by the Tracing Army in terms of appearance and self-awareness.
Yagen Toushirou said, "If there is anything we need to do, please feel free to give us instructions."
Although he looks small and thin, he speaks in a very handsome voice, and one can vaguely tell from his tone that he has a calm and responsible personality.
Wu Hutui nodded: "Well, we will try our best."
Al and the other two looked at each other, and Al turned to ask Shino: "Ms. Shino, what are you going to do next?"
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, they would suddenly ask him about this. After a moment's reaction, he said, "I have offended the young master. I can no longer stay here. I want to return to my hometown."
Xia Yujie hesitated and asked, "But...if you go back like this, will you be criticized?"
In that era, the difficulties faced by women raising children alone were ten to twenty times greater than those of today.
Shino was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. Well, maybe, but no matter what, it won't be worse than before. I'll just say that I was married, but my husband died, so I came back home."
Xia Yujie sighed and said, "This is the only way."
If this was someone he met in the real world, he might have directly invited Shino to Bankei Palace. After all, it doesn't matter if you drive one sheep or ten sheep. Picking people up and bringing them back seems to have become the norm in Bankei Palace.
Al poked Gojo Satoru, who took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Shino. "Here, this is the money I swindled from your young master's family. You're welcome."
Shino: “…”
She took the money a little dazedly but did not refuse.
She really needs money now.
Algan simply swam to the counter of the inn, took out all the coins inside, wrapped them into a package with cloth, and generously said to others: "You can take all of these."
Shino: “…”
Wait, this is blatant money-grabbing!
Xia Yujie said coldly: "That's right, take it all. The owner of the inn wanted to plot against you and make you give birth to a "Zashiki-warashi". If we hadn't happened to stay here, you and your child would have died tonight. Don't be polite, this is the compensation you deserve."
Shino said anxiously, "This is too much! I'm pregnant and alone, and carrying so much money will definitely be targeted by thieves."
Gojo Satoru said indifferently, "I didn't let you go alone."
"Huh?"
Gojo Satoru pointed at Toyama Shino and said to Ichiki and the others, "Is it okay for you to send her back to her hometown?"
Ichiki nodded, "Of course, no problem."
It's just an escort mission, very simple.
"One more thing."
Xia Yujie put his hand on Al's shoulder with a fake smile and said, "My family had set fire to a rich young man before, but the man is probably not dead. You guys... go and solve the problem too?"
One phase, one vibration: "..."
Yauken Toshiro: "..."
The Five Tigers retreated: “…”
Burned a rich family's young master - why?
However, the sensible Fuzin gods tacitly did not ask any further questions. They turned around and had a brief discussion with their two younger brothers. In the end, they decided that Ichigo Ichibun would send Toyama Shino back to his hometown, Yagen Toushirou and Kitsunesuke would deal with the burned young master, and the Gokotai would escort Al and the other two back to the Government of Time.
Although Al and the other two felt that they did not need guards, they still nodded when they saw the five tigers glanced at them anxiously.
Well, you can’t reject the childish kindness.
After Kitsunesuke blurred the guests' memories, he made up a story that a typhoon had left the inn in such a state, and that was considered the job done.
Al and the other two: "..."
Is it really finished?
How unique must a typhoon be to only hit this one building?
The swordsmen of the Time Government were incredibly powerful. Not long after Kitsunesuke finished his work, Yaken Toushirou grabbed Kitsunesuke by the back of his neck and ran out to complete a new mission. Seeing how fast he left, Al exclaimed, "So fast."
It's so small, but it's so fast that it almost leaves an afterimage.
Ichigo Ichijin smiled softly and said with a little pride: "Yakuken is the first child in Renji's main house to complete the ultimate. He has always been very reliable."
Al and others didn't know what polarization was, but they immediately grasped another key point.
"Are you Renshi's men?"
“It was.”
Jikai Ichiki Ichijin showed a nostalgic look, "We are all Fukueijin awakened by Lord Renji himself, but after Lord Renji left, most of our companions went to other Honmaru to serve the new lord."
Because Al and the others knew Renshi, the government of the time specially sent the sword man who once belonged to Renshi to assist them.
In order to win their favor, the current government has made great efforts.
Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "From what you said, you didn't go to serve the new master?"
Ichigo Ichijin replied, "Because of the care given by Lord Renji before he left, the swordsmen of Awataguchi's faction all went to the office building of the Government of Time to work together as a special operations team."
They didn't want to separate, and Renji didn't want them to separate either. Before she left, she packed up all the swordmen from the same sword school and sent them to other Honmaru. Only the Awataguchi school had too many of them and it was difficult to find a buyer, so Renji applied to the Time Government to allow them to work in the Time Government's office building. Because most of the Fukujin of the Awataguchi school had completed the ultimate training, the Time Government also agreed to Renji's application.
Al nodded, and felt that the Ichi-Ichi-Zhen in front of him really looked like a living human being.
It turns out that psychics have such a trump card. Although there are few psychics, they can pull up the "spirits" in swords to make up the number. No wonder retired judges never mention their former work content. If those old guys in the Jujutsu Society knew about this, they would be jealous to death.
Ichigo Ichizhen took Shino away.
They waved to Shino, and Al raised his voice and said to Shino, "Remember to give your child the last name Toyama!"
Toyama Shino paused, turned around and waved to them with a smile.
"Is that enough?" Gojo Satoru stretched his back and said, "Let's go back."
Al and Xia Youjie nodded and took out the time-space converter that the Time Government had given them.
"Um... which one do you press?"
Wu Hu retreated and tiptoed, pointing nervously: "It's here."
"Then you come."
"Okay, okay."
He carefully helped them turn on the time-space converter and carefully confirmed the landing coordinates several times. When he looked up, he saw Al and the other two were looking at him and smiling.
The five tigers were startled and their faces turned red.
He whispered, "What's wrong?"
Xia Yujie waved his hands: "No, I just think you are cute."
Maybe it’s because he has so many children at home, the more he looks at these children, the cuter they become.
Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "Little devil, what kind of sword are you? You are so short."
Wu Hu retreated timidly and said, "I am a short sword, sir. But I have completed the extreme training, so...so I am still relatively useful."
He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Excuse me, Lord Lianshi, is she doing well?"
Oops!
Brother Yiqi had instructed not to bother the three adults with such matters, but he still couldn't help but ask.
However, the reactions of the three sorcerers opposite were very ordinary. Al nodded and said calmly: "She is fine. She debuted on the Internet and is now a household name among young people in Japan."
Renmi became a deity in the Kisaragi Station Incident and was directly promoted to an urban legend that could scare children to tears.
God knows how many young people no longer dare to take the subway late at night after the Rugetsu Station incident?
The naive Wu Hu Tui said happily, "You have become a famous person? You are worthy of being Ji Jun! No... You are worthy of being Lian Shi Lord."
Xia Yujie smiled helplessly, and instead of telling him that your Ji-kun was a socially dead celebrity, he urged, "Let's go."
"OK!"
After the dazzling light, the four figures disappeared from their original places, and in the blink of an eye, they were back in front of the large time-space converter.
Al seamlessly changed back to the big blond and blue-eyed girl.
The memories of Toyama Rishike flooded into Kagome's head again. Kagome rubbed his temples and sighed, "So that's how it is..."
He remembered it all.
Gojo Satoru grabbed Al's neck and said meaningfully, "Al, have you been switching accounts more and more frequently recently?"
Argo pretended to be deaf and dumb and looked up and down.
The door of the room opened, and the white-haired old man walked in with the middle-aged man and Hoshino Saka. He said with relief: "All the missing people have returned. Thank you very much for your contribution to protecting history."
He smiles kindly.
"This is a rare opportunity. Would you three like to stay with us for two days?"
