Although Haruhiko threatened Okubo Yuja and Okubo Yukuichi, Yukihime still put up a barrier just in case.
If they dare to run, they will be discovered.
Haruhiko felt that the two siblings had no intention of killing them, and they needed someone to lead the way, so he let them go.
If he really doesn't know how to praise, his attitude will naturally not be so polite.
"Let's go."
Haruhiko glanced at Miyadera Fuyu's room, but there was no reaction.
He didn't interrupt and took Xue Ji back to the living room.
"Do you want to continue practicing?"
Xue Ji tickled his palm with her fingers and her tone was playful.
"Practice with you."
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly, "Teacher Yuki, I have a few Yuki Ono breathing techniques that are not in place. Can you teach me step by step?"
"That's it."
The corners of Xue Ji's mouth curled up and she said with a serious face, "The problem is indeed serious, come with me."
At the end of the sentence, the ice blue of his eyes melted into aqua blue.
The tender night gradually passed.
Haruhiko deeply appreciates Xue Ji's gentleness and tolerance and doesn't mind his nonsense.
Sure enough, the big sister is really good.
Whether it's temper or whatever.
But young girls are not bad either, such as Hoshino Hotaru.
a new day.
There were two more people at the dinner table.
Okubo Yuku and Okubo Yuku.
They were very aware of the situation and made no attempt to escape last night.
Haruhiko chatted with them for a while and probably understood the reason.
Mainly due to the decline of the family.
There is only one uncle left among the older generation.
The rest have died.
As for the younger generation, there are only two of them.
They don't dare to take risks for fear of immediate failure.
Besides, the relics of the Inugami are inherently dangerous.
Their previous plan was to find the wooden box and hire two psykers to serve as bodyguards.
Well now, I saved a lot of money.
Although it's not something to be happy about.
After eating, Jinguji Fuyu slowly walked out.
Okubo Yuku and Okubo Yuku were stunned. Thinking of Haruhiko's words before, they suddenly became respectful.
Jinguji Fuyu naturally ignored the two of them.
"Aunt Dongyu."
Haruhiko took the lead and explained, "I got an Inugami relic before and I plan to go out with them."
Jinguji Fuyu's red lips slightly opened, but in the end he just nodded.
"Don't worry."
Yuki Ji hugged Haruhiko's arm and said, "I'll go with him."
"I'm not worried."
Jinguji Fuyu turned around and returned to the room, leaving only a faint fragrance.
"Let's go."
Haruhiko was used to Jinguji Fuyu's character, so he didn't care.
His only regret was that he didn't bring Bai Shuang.
Feeling like this, it will come in handy.
As for Izumi, just think of it as a sightseeing trip.
Haruhiko didn't expect her to do anything.
Although it is now the second level, it is all auxiliary skills.
I didn't want to take her there originally.
But when Izumi heard that he was going to spend some time with Jinguji Fuyu, he was so frightened that he jumped directly into Haruhiko's face.
Refuse to stay alive or dead.
Show your sincerity very clearly.
Even Jinguji Fuyu won't care about her.
After going down the mountain, Haruhiko drove his car out.
This time there were no new white foxes blocking the way.
In fact, he has always been curious about where Bai Shuang's home is.
Hey, maybe you can ask Jinguji Fuyu.
Haruhiko suddenly had an idea.
Theoretically speaking, they are from the same race, and they might even know it.
"According to our family records, the Inugami relic is actually a huge mansion."
In the car, Okubo Yuja gave a more specific situation, "It was once the seat of our family, but it is now covered by a barrier and cannot be entered without a key."
"Where?"
Haruhiko asked casually.
"Kochi Prefecture."
Okubo Yuja replied, "We'd better take a plane from Tokyo to get there, it's faster."
"really."
Haruhiko has a certain understanding of Kochi Prefecture.
The reason is very simple. In the legend of Inugami, this place cannot be avoided.
There are so-called Inugami priests in the local area, who specialize in controlling and worshiping the Inugami.
In addition, there are also mentions of the Inugami, who can use the Inugami to cast poison curses and possess the victims.
"Is your uncle an Inugami priest?"
Haruhiko asked as he thought of this.
"He is the most famous Inugami priest in our local area."
The corners of Okubo Yuque's mouth were raised slightly, with a little pride showing on his face.
I quite recognize and yearn for this identity.
Haruhiko can also understand.
In Kochi Prefecture, there are many Inugami, and the status of Inugami priests has naturally increased.
"Can you take my uncle with you?"
Okubo Yuja hesitated for a moment and asked, "He knows Inugami very well and can help us."
"No need."
Haruhiko glanced at her and chose to refuse.
One more person, one more risk.
Haruhiko wouldn't be afraid if he brought Jinguji Fuyu with him.
But there was only one Xue Ji, so he thought about it and decided not to get too upset.
Okubo Youque could only remain silent when he heard this.
After all, people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves.
But then I thought about it, it was actually better not to come.
If she and her brother were to die together, she would wait for her uncle to continue the family line.
But with his old man's body, can he do it?
Okubo Yuque fell into thinking.
Because he had to take a plane, Haruhiko drove the car home.
I just happened to ask Bai Shuang if he would like to go on a trip with him.
"You guys are waiting for me here."
Haruhiko winked at Xue Ji, telling her to keep an eye on the two siblings.
In fact, it goes without saying that with the abilities of the fourth-level great demon, it is impossible for Okubo Yuque and Okubo Yuku to run away.
Haruhiko drove the car to the parking lot, locked it, and came to the door of his house.
He opened the door and shouted: "Hoarfrost."
But no response.
Haruhiko took off his shoes doubtfully and entered the living room.
There was no one on the sofa, carpet or even in the room, oh no, no fox.
"Is this going out to play?"
Haruhiko couldn't help but be surprised when he turned around and didn't see Bai Shuang.
Based on its character, it can be said to be extremely abnormal.
Unable to find Bai Shuang in a short time, Haruhiko chose to give up.
After all, Xue Ji and others are still outside.
After closing the door, Haruhiko joined them and rushed towards the airport.
At noon, four people and one Yuyou arrived in Kochi County, and then took a taxi to their destination, the Shikoku Mountains.
Haruhiko thought he was in a city before, but he didn't expect it to be so remote.
But fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and we arrived at the valley that Okubo Yuzaku mentioned very smoothly.
There are all kinds of flowers and plants in the valley, but no big mansions can be seen.
It should be blocked by a barrier.
Haruhiko took out the wooden box.
As soon as it left the Kongna Ring, its white jade-like shell suddenly lit up.
In an instant, the valley shook slightly, and the translucent barrier was revealed.
At the same time, the mansion in the middle also caught Haruhiko's eyes.
It's true to say it's a mansion, because it's a small castle.
It can be seen that the Okubo clan did have glory in the past.
But not much.
If it were truly brilliant, this castle should not be in the mountains, but in the city.
Haruhiko stepped forward, and the wooden box emitted a faint light, enveloping him.
The barrier is large enough to accommodate three people with no problem at all.
"You guys go over there."
Haruhiko waved and said.
Yukihime, Okubo Yuque and Okubo Yujiu immediately stepped forward.
As for Izumi, she flew onto his shoulder.
The group of people successfully entered the barrier.
It's easier than Haruhiko imagined.
As expected, it was just a relic left behind by the fourth level.
He had asked before that the rank of this dog god was the fourth level.
Moreover, an old fourth-level creature is a little worse than an ordinary fourth-level creature.
After all, aging is the natural enemy of most species.
This is true whether it is humans or monsters.
Haruhiko looked at the castle.
The style is quite simple, all white, like a tower, with four floors, gradually decreasing in scope from bottom to bottom.
From the outside, there is nothing special about it.
He turned to look at Okubo Yuque.
"There are no detailed records within the clan."
Noticing his gaze, Okubo Yuque immediately explained, "I don't know what's going on inside."
"Then go in."
Seeing this, Haruhiko began to say, "You two follow behind and be careful about yourselves."
He held Xue Ji's hand and walked forward together.
Since there is a thigh hug, there is no need to hesitate.
Besides, if he doesn't hug her, Xue Ji will be angry.
When they reached the door, the two people stopped.
To be more precise, Xue Ji.
Haruhiko saw her movement, so he also stopped.
"There's no trap."
Xue Ji concentrated slightly, and after a few seconds, she spoke.
Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He opened the door directly, and what he saw was a scene that surprised him.
This is the first level of the castle.
He thought it was a living room, but it was actually a laboratory.
Three rows of strip-shaped wooden tables are arranged in an orderly manner.
Above are dusty documents and utensils.
"What's happening here?"
Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Okubo Yuque and Okubo Yuku.
But they all looked confused and couldn't understand the current situation at all.
In their expectation, after opening it, there should be ownerless treasures everywhere, not these messy things.
When Haruhiko saw this, he no longer counted on the two of them.
He stepped forward, raised his hand, and the faint spiritual energy turned into wind, blowing away the dust on the table.
It didn't take a while, but it was much cleaner.
Haruhiko picked up the information in front of him, and the four characters "Curse of the Inugami" were written on the cover.
He was slightly startled and flipped through a few pages, all of which were related operations.
This is consistent with the legend of the Inugami in Kochi Prefecture.
But not the Inugami priest, but the Inugami envoy.
Among psykers, the latter has a relatively average reputation.
Mainly good at curses and poison.
Although they are all spells in essence, they appear to be evil in their methods.
Still, most psykers didn't care.
After all, strength is respected.
Haruhiko handed the information to Okubo Bird without putting it away.
Because he doesn't have an Inugami, there's no point in learning it.
All curses must be cast through the possession of the Inugami.
When I first got the bird, I was quite excited.
But after a moment, he showed a disappointed expression again.
Because she doesn't have an Inugami either.
After the death of the previous Inugami, the Okubo clan completely declined, and there was no new Inugami.
Haruhiko frowned and looked at them all. They were all curses related to Inugami.
"Go to the second floor."
He put down the information and said.
Okubo Yuku and Okubo Yuku also quickly followed.
For them, these curses are not what they want.
On the second floor, an unpleasant stench hit.
Haruhiko immediately held his breath.
It's bones.
The messy bones were mixed together, like a slaughterhouse.
Judging from the remaining bone structure, it is a dog.
Inugami is the soul of a dog after death.
This is obviously making a new Inugami.
Haruhiko begins to doubt the Inugami of the Okubo clan.
I'm afraid it's an evil monster.
The faces of Okubo Yuque and Okubo Yujiu are also ugly.
Anyone who knows a little bit about Inugami will know the reason for such a scene.
Neither of them are bad people.
At this time, they realized that the guardian Inugami of their family might not be the image they imagined, which was somewhat unacceptable.
Xue Ji, on the other hand, has seen a lot and is used to it.
She touched Haruhiko's head and headed to the third floor with him.
There's no bad smell, just rows of bookshelves.
Haruhiko glanced at him and suddenly looked strange and incomprehensible.
It's not a magic spell, but a variety of biological knowledge.
“There are the most books about humans and dogs.”
Xue Ji said thoughtfully.
Haruhiko looked at it a few more times after hearing this, and it was indeed the case.
But thinking that it was something left by the Inugami, it was understandable.
"Now only the last layer remains."
Haruhiko looked at the stone stairs in the corner and said, "Just go and see the answer."
"Um."
Xue Ji came back to her senses and said, "I have a guess. I won't talk about it until we get to the fourth floor."
Haruhiko nodded.
The group arrived at the fourth floor, still going very smoothly.
"This is... Inugami-sama?"
Okubo Yuja looked at the figure in the middle with a surprised expression.
It has a dog-headed body and a knife at its waist.
"Indeed."
Okubo Yujiu quickly stepped forward and said, "I have seen the portrait of Inugami-sama in the clan records."
"This is not a sculpture."
Xue Ji suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "It's the demon body of the Inugami."
"What?!"
The two siblings, Okubo Youque and Okubo Youjiu, were immediately shocked.
Haruhiko was also a little surprised.
Put the demonic body of Inugami here?
After all, I have shed blood and made meritorious deeds for your family, so you are so careless?
"I remember you said he died about thirty years ago?"
Yuki Ji looked at Inugami's demonic body and asked.
"Yes."
Okubo Yuja immediately replied, "Thirty-one years to be precise."
"Under normal circumstances, the fourth-level demon body can last for a long time without any external force to destroy it."
Xue Ji raised her hand and poked the Inugami, which instantly turned into flying ash, "Its interior has been eroded."
"Is it the effect of the spell?"
Haruhiko asked in surprise.
"Um."
Xue Ji nodded and looked away.
In addition to this Inugami's monster body, there is also a device similar to an operating table.
She stepped forward and examined it carefully.
Haruhiko looked at her without disturbing her.
Speaking of which, Xue Ji was so good a wife and mother before that he even forgot that she was the fourth level.
In this world, there are no more than ten fifth-level ones.
In other words, the fourth level is actually the real man of the hour.
Every fourth level is not simple.
The same is true for Xue Ji.
She is still a monster, has lived longer, and has seen more.
"Let's go down there."
After thinking for a moment, Xue Ji said, "I need to take a look at those dog-god curses."
Four thousand words. Ah, there are too many things going on today, and I’m a little stuck, so I can’t update the 10,000 words. It’s a pity that the daily update of 10,000 words has been interrupted for seventeen days. It's okay, let's continue tomorrow.
