Chapter 188 Funeral. Feathered Fox
Perhaps she noticed being stared at, Tachibana Kyo turned her head and her eyes met someone's. She nodded habitually to say hello. Although her charming face was lightly made up, one could still see that she looked haggard.
Nagayama Yuzuru had no intention of contacting them and began to look for a place to sit down. Suddenly, three women came into view. They were Hoshino Saeko and her two disciples, Nagasawa Yomi and Yaobikuni, and Ninomiya Bunta was also sitting next to them.
【Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis】
[Immortality (A): Immortality, eternal youth, and immortality. Even if the head is chopped off or the body is burned by fire, the person will not die. Becoming a shrine maiden can increase the self-healing speed of the shrine staff by 50%.]
[Ice Phoenix Power (S). Sealed: The body contains the power of the Ice Phoenix, which is sealed and not activated.]
[Kei-Kei (A): Possesses an ominous power that has a negative impact on those around him. The stronger he is, the less impact he will suffer. High-level players can ignore it. ]
Yuzuru Nagayama was immediately surprised. He had seen that girl in Huang Quan's photo. Wasn't she the little nun in the temple next door? He didn't expect that she had an S-level talent and two A-level talents.
The amplification effect is that the self-healing speed is already very rare, and there is also an even rarer talent of resisting relatives. As for the talent of immortality, it feels very similar to the legendary Yaobikuni. She didn't eat mermaid meat or something like that, right? Ordinary people's mermaid meat doesn't have such a terrible effect, it must be a strong mermaid.
Out of curiosity, Yuzuru Nagayama walked forward to greet a few people and even asked Ninomiya Bunta to make room for him.
The two like-minded people looked at each other immediately. The old man certainly would not refuse. He gestured to indicate that this was a small favor and he would treat the old man to a big meal tomorrow.
Yuzuru Nagayama would not refuse this condition. Since the death of Ryusawa Otomo, there are not many people he can go out drinking with at night.
Yuzuru Nagayama sat next to Yomi Nagasawa.
"What a coincidence, I meet you, Saeko and Yomi. This should be Yaobikuni. I keep hearing Yomi mention you."
The eight hundred nuns also responded with a smile.
"It's my first time meeting you, Mr. Yongshan. I've always heard Huang Quan say how powerful our Lord God is. I hope to receive your care in Tokyo in the future. Mr. Yongshan's name is now well-known, and he is even more powerful than my master."
When Hoshino Saeko heard this, she glanced at her disciple. Did she dare to use her as a comparison to train her? Yaobikuni didn't dare to say anything more.
Yuzuru Nagayama also answered with a smile on his face.
"Of course you can, but you will pay the price for doing evil under my name."
"I'm not someone who would do bad things."
Nagasawa Yomi rolled her eyes at the conversation between the two, as it was clear that neither of them was content with their lot. When Nagayama Yuzuru sat next to her, a small hand suddenly pinched the man's thigh, because she suddenly realized that someone was paying attention to her good friend.
Yuzuru Nagayama didn't care about the strength of the massage, and spoke lightly after a moment.
"It's time to let go."
Changze Huangquan simply ignored it, and the power in his hands gradually grew stronger.
Yuzuru Nagayama felt that he could not bear it anymore, so he reached into Nagasawa Yomi's knee-length skirt, first touched her black silk thigh, then twisted it hard, which made the girl almost scream, and her gaze towards someone became resentful.
Of course, a certain man would not go too far at a funeral. He waited for the other party to let go and he also let go. Then he smiled slightly at the gaze of Hoshino Saeko and chatted with her about the changes in the past two days and got bad news.
Hoshino Saeko said in a serious tone.
"It's not optimistic. In just two days, the number of demons and monsters has tripled, and their average strength has also increased. And according to professional assessments, it will be at least 6 to 10 times higher than before. Therefore, the Countermeasures Bureau is a bit busy, and we may have to recruit more in the future."
Hoshino Saeko actually had another guess that she didn't say out loud, which was that the Countermeasures Bureau might delegate power to the aristocratic families, asking them to maintain stability in a certain place. Of course, if it really went to that extent, it would be like the central government asking each locality to train militias, which would be too big to be eliminated.
Yuzuru Nagayama expressed his understanding of this. It seems that a new situation is about to emerge. He wonders whether the authorities can still conceal the information about evil spirits from ordinary people.
However, in this case, he didn't want Nagasawa Yomi to become a member of the Countermeasures Bureau. The mortality rate was too high. Three people died in just a few months to guard a deputy director. It was too dangerous, so he brought it up in front of Hoshino Saeko.
"Huang Quan, after you graduate, why don't you return to the shrine and become a shrine maiden? What do you think?"
The other two were stunned when this was said. Hoshino Saeko understood the other party's thoughts. Did she think the Countermeasures Bureau was too dangerous? Yaobikuni realized the seriousness of the matter, so she did not interrupt rashly.
Nagasawa Huangquan hesitated. He first looked at his master and good friend, and then expressed his own thoughts.
"I want to keep both the shrine and the countermeasures bureau, is that ok?"
Yuzuru Nagayama was very dissatisfied with this answer. He asked Nagasawa Yomi to go to the academy to learn skills, not to fight for Tokyo. But it is too early to say now. Yin Yang Academy is a three-year system, or you can apply for graduation only when your strength reaches the fourth level.
This yellow-haired girl is still far from the fourth level. No, Nagayama Yuzuru suddenly looked at the girl seriously. Although the other party used the method of restraining her breath, he could still detect her third-level spiritual power. She actually reached the third level.
Not only did Nagasawa Yomi become stronger, but Hoshino Saeko also made a breakthrough. If one hadn't used the Dharma Eye to observe carefully, one would not have noticed her restrained spiritual power.
Yuzuru Nagayama came to a conclusion that fighting was indeed the best way to break through.
"Saeko, you have broken through to the sixth level. Congratulations, great swordsman."
Hoshino Saeko smiled. It seemed that this man had good eyesight. She thought that the other party could not find it. "I just broke through to the sixth level yesterday. Next, I will try to guard the south. I hope you can take care of me when the time comes."
"It's an honor to have a good friend who guards the town. I will support you with all my strength."
Yuzuru Nagayama was not lying. He needed a friend at the top of the Countermeasures Bureau, so he would do his best to help. It seemed that he needed to visit Kita-gen to make an introduction. During this period, the relationship between the two sides not only eased, but also the industry had preliminary cooperation.
There is also the new governor of the north, Watanabe Kunihiko. The Watanabe family is an emerging family consortium that focuses more on economy than territory. It is said that they have deep economic dealings with the Furukawa Group. He can ask Furukawa Kirika to help introduce them.
When Hoshino Saeko saw the man make a promise, she smiled with satisfaction.
This funeral, which was comparable to a state funeral, lasted for an hour and ended. Because there was no body but only a cenotaph, the guests did not have to say goodbye to the body.
With the introduction of Saeko Hoshino, Yuzuru Nagayama realized the decline of the Abe family. Ichiro Abe had only four children, three boys and one girl, and six grandchildren.
The eldest son, Abe Yusuke, succeeded the position of clan leader at the age of 60. His strength is only at the fifth level, and it is questionable whether he can break through to the sixth level in his lifetime. The other two sons and one daughter are between 40 and 55 years old, and their strength cannot break through to the higher level. The only sixth-level elder in the clan is already 120 years old, and his life will not last long.
On the contrary, the new generation has greater potential. The eldest grandson Abe Kenmei just broke through the fifth level at the age of 38, and the granddaughter Abe Yuka is at the fourth level at the age of 23.
It seems that the decline of a first-rate family only takes a moment, but it certainly doesn't mean it will collapse immediately. Relying on the five high-level masters in the family, it is still possible to maintain a second-rate power, but it will require giving up a lot of interests.
When Yuzuru Nagayama was observing the guests at his leisure, a woman in black caught his attention. She had long black hair, black pupils, a black dress, black stockings, and a pale black expression that was sinister and cold. She was definitely a stunning dark beauty, but what surprised him even more was the system display.
【Feathered Fox】
[Eighth level]
Perhaps sensing the gaze, Yuyuko turned her head and looked at him, and her eyes met with Yuzuru Nagayama's. Yuyuko didn't react to this and left the auditorium alone.
Yuzuru Nagayama was surprised as to why the eighth-level demon appeared at Ichiro Abe's funeral. Of course, he was curious, but he would not meddle in other people's business and investigate the secrets of the demon.
It is a truly eventful time, even a big demon has appeared.
At this moment, several familiar figures came into sight again, including Kyoka Tachibana, Yusuke Abe, and the old man, Heimasatsugu, who backed down at the critical moment. However, the old man followed the two of them stealthily.
In the inner room, Yusuke Abe explained to Kyoka Tachibana in a serious tone.
"Niece Kyoka, you know that my Abe clan will be in turmoil. I hope you and your daughter can move out of the clan. Please understand. This is a gift from your uncle to you and your daughter."
Kikyoka took the box and tried to maintain her expression, then bowed and expressed her gratitude.
"No, it's Kyoka who wants to thank you, uncle and uncle, for your help. If it weren't for the uncle's help, I might have been judged as a criminal in that meeting, and my mother and I would have moved out tomorrow."
Abe Yusuke had no way to deal with this. He was not a father who had no ability to keep a big trouble. I heard that there were too few people in the royal family who had awakened their bloodline. There were only two women who could be comparable to Tachibana Kyoka. This was something that could not be helped.
Yusuke Abe finally felt sorry for the situation and offered what he thought was the greatest help.
"How about I help you get in touch with His Highness Shan Ren? His wife has been dead for three years and he is interested in you, so you understand."
"Don't bother uncle with the hassle. Kyoka will take care of it herself."
Kyoka Tachibana knew that she was like a piece of fat meat, and she also knew the secret of Amaterasu's bloodline. Using women as mothers, draining the bloodline power to give birth to excellent next generations, it can be said that all families of Amaterasu's bloodline have this secret method.
This is also the sorrow of women of Amaterasu bloodline, especially those without power and influence. The reason why those declining bloodline families disappeared is that they were digested by the powerful Amaterasu bloodline families.
Her mother was a branch of the Konoe family. Her father drained her blood and gave birth to her, an outstanding descendant. Her mother lay in bed for five years and died in front of her when she was young and ignorant. This was the first rift between her and her father.
If she hadn't had conflicts with her father that delayed her cultivation for so many years, she would have broken through to the sixth level long ago according to her talent, but she would have been stuck at the peak of the fifth level for two years.
In fact, if she was still the darling of the Ju family, it would not be impossible for her to marry into the royal family. But now she is just the daughter of a criminal and a useless person. It is easy to imagine what her future would be like if she got married. She would only become a tool for reproduction.
At this moment, she was very glad that her two daughters had not awakened their bloodlines, otherwise they would have become the targets of those hyenas.
When the two men left the inner room in silence, Ping Zhengyi, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped out and spoke.
"Oh, isn't this Kyoka and Yusuke's nephew? Kyoka, I want to invite you to my house and meet my third son. He happens to be the same age as you and has also broken through to the fifth level."
Yusuke Abe stood in front of his niece and refused.
"I'm very sorry, Master Masayuki, but Kyouka has plans coming up and won't be able to visit the Heike clan for the time being."
Yusuke Abe is very fond of this old cuckold, who has a bad reputation in Tokyo. Even if he doesn't want Kyoka Tachibana to drag down his family, he will not push her into the abyss of the Heike clan.
Ping Zhengyi gave a sinister smile.
"Nephew Yusuke, just take care of your family's affairs. It's no good to meddle in so many things. I will take over your father's position next, so think before you speak."
