"no."
Bai Shuang glanced at him and answered in a cold tone.
"Then where do you live?"
Haruhiko was a little surprised.
He always thought Bai Shuang was the fox from Qingwei Mountain.
After all, we met at the foot of the mountain.
"homeless."
Bai Shuang explained, "Because of cultivation issues."
Haruhiko probably understood what it meant.
Similar to a writer going out to collect materials.
My practice had hit a bottleneck and I couldn't advance, so I just walked around.
What if you meet someone or something and suddenly have an epiphany?
In a sense, cultivating spiritual energy and cultivating immortality are quite similar.
"You are the white fox."
Haruhiko thought for a while and asked, "The priest of the Aobi Mountain Inari Shrine, Jinguji Fuyu, is a sky fox. He should be able to solve your problem. Do you need me to recommend him?"
"Need not."
Bai Shuang refused without hesitation and said, "I have found the answer."
Haruhiko looked strange.
According to what it said before, the answer is undoubtedly himself.
But humans and foxes really can’t do it.
Unless you turn me into a beautiful girl with fox ears.
"I will tell you if necessary."
Bai Shuang added.
Its tail also swayed slightly.
Haruhiko nodded.
Bai Shuang disagrees and he can't force it.
It is the fourth level great demon.
Although Haruhiko has no intention of taking him as a demon tamer, it is worthwhile to get closer to him.
According to Bai Shuang, it now belongs to the type that wanders for the sake of cultivation.
If there is a chance, it would be very good to let it join the Utsunomiya clan.
The cell phone rings.
It's Kaoru Aizawa.
Haruhiko secretly thought it would be very fast.
He got on the phone and got a name.
Suiryusuke, a fourth-level swordsman, is a professor at the University of Tokyo.
He conducted an experimental study on delayed spells last month and recruited a group of students to serve as assistants.
The dead Matsushita Takashi was one of them.
"Hoarfrost."
Haruhiko shouted and walked towards the research area.
As a professor at the University of Tokyo, it’s not enough to just take classes, you also have to produce results.
Like new spells.
The copyright belongs to the University of Tokyo.
However, researchers are allowed to use it free of charge, and equivalent compensation will be paid to them.
the reason is simple.
The emergence of a new spell means that the University of Tokyo has another secret.
One person and one fox quickly arrived at the research building where Suiryufu was located.
Haruhiko pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man in a white coat came out.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Suiryusuke looked at the unfamiliar Haruhiko and asked with some confusion.
"Hello, Professor Shuilong."
Haruhiko introduced himself with a smile, "I am a member of the Exploration Department of the Edo Archaeological Bureau. I am here to ask about Takashi Matsushita."
"Matsushita Takashi?"
A look of memory appeared on Suiryuusuke's face, "He was my former assistant, but he has resigned. You should go to him directly."
"He was killed yesterday."
Haruhiko asked directly, "Do you know?"
"have no idea."
Suiryufu shook his head and said, "I have been in the research building during this time, and there are many people who can testify. Besides, if I really want to kill him, no one will know."
In fact, this is what Haruhiko is confused about.
For a fourth-level psyker, destroying corpses and eradicating traces is too simple.
Why make it so complicated?
Is it a trap?
But something wasn't quite right.
Delay spells are extremely subtle.
Haruhiko would not have been able to find Suiryusuke without Bai Shuang's help.
Matsushita Takamata is only a second-level psyker.
The Edo Archaeological Bureau will not assign Tier 4 or Tier 5 for investigation.
Too much overkill.
If it were anyone else, there is a high probability that they would not be able to find the truth.
It is very likely to become an unsolved case.
If it's a trap, it should be simple.
Is it specifically targeting me?
Haruhiko thought of another possibility.
"Any question?"
Suiryufu asked calmly, "If not, please don't disturb my research."
"Matsushita Takashi died of a delaying spell."
Haruhiko stared at his face and said.
After hearing this, he looked a little surprised.
But there was no panic like discovering the truth.
"At the University of Tokyo, there are many psychics who master delaying spells."
Suiryufu frowned slightly and said, "Maybe it's my batch of assistants."
"You mean it's related to your spell research? But can you steal it for a month?"
Haruhiko didn't quite believe it.
The assistants he recruited were all second-level.
The delay spell he studied was the fourth level.
Even he, a player, can't learn it, let alone others.
"Everything is possible, isn't it?"
Suiryufu asked without changing his expression.
"Professor Shuilong, can you take me to see your research?"
Haruhiko wanted to take a look at the scene.
Of course, I mainly rely on hoarfrost to see if I can find anything.
"The research on spells is top secret. If you want to see it, you have to apply to the University of Tokyo."
Suiryufu said in a businesslike manner.
"no problem."
Haruhiko took out his cell phone and dialed Kaoru Aizawa's number.
After saying a few words, he handed it over to Suiryuusuke.
In his surprised eyes, he received Kaoru Aizawa's request for release.
"I underestimated you."
Suiryufu returned the phone and said, "Since it is the principal's order, you come with me."
He turned around and walked upstairs.
Haruhiko followed closely and soon arrived at the research room.
It was different from what he remembered.
Information is everywhere.
Haruhiko looked around and found nothing wrong.
He glanced at Bai Shuang and asked, "Can I see it?"
"Can."
Suiryuusuke pointed to the bookshelf on the left and said, "If you want to understand, you can start there."
"Thanks."
Haruhiko stepped forward and picked up a document.
The moment he made contact, countless spiritual energy surged out from all around.
Bai Shuang's pupils shrank and she quickly ran to his feet.
The next moment, one person and one fox disappeared.
A strong sense of spatial distortion came.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a strange underground space.
There are illuminated jade stones on the wall.
The air is filled with a strong aura of spiritual energy and decay.
"The second floor of the Takamagahara ruins."
Haruhiko confirmed his position, turned around and looked at the figure not far away.
It was Suiryuusuke.
"Professor Shuilong, can you explain?"
Haruhiko asked calmly.
His player spawn point is still usable, so it's not a big problem.
It's just that Bai Shuang is coming, which is a little troublesome.
Because players cannot bring people with them at their birth point.
But fortunately, it is a fourth-level psyker, so the chance of escaping is very high.
"When we meet for the first time, let me reintroduce myself."
Suiryufu showed a faint smile and said, "I am a member of the Snake Spirit."
"Snake spirit?"
Haruhiko was a little surprised, but not much, "I'm deeply honored that you went to such trouble to catch me."
Suiryufu was speechless.
There is actually no way around this.
Who told him to have such a hard relationship?
A swarm of fourth and fifth orders protected him.
If you do it outside, if you are not careful, you will fail.
The best way is in the ruins of Takamagahara.
Because in a sense, this is also the nest of the snake spirit.
So Snake Spirit entrusted Haruhiko with an undercover job at the Edo Archaeological Bureau.
At the same time, in order to prevent him from seeing that it was a trap, a delaying spell was used.
Of course, Haruhiko couldn't see the fourth-level spells, but he had an extraordinary background, so he could just ask the fourth-level for help.
In this case, he would be able to follow the clues and notice Suiryusuke.
At the University of Tokyo, Haruhiko will lose a certain amount of vigilance.
After all, there are two fifth-level people and many teachers and students.
"I'm just an ordinary third-level psyker, why are you arresting me?"
Haruhiko did sabotage Snake Spirit's actions, but he always focused on participating.
The actual executor is not him.
How could the snake spirit notice him?
"We discovered your relationship with Tsuchimikado Mashiro."
Suiryusuke didn't hide anything and said, "We want to exchange you for Teru Morikawa."
Morikawa Teru was the original fourth-level divine envoy.
It is still in the hands of the Tsuchimikado clan.
After getting enough information, it will be traded to the director of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, Kaneda Xiong.
Haruhiko frowned.
If Mashiro Tsuchimikado agrees to replace it, it will offend the Edo Archaeological Bureau.
It seems that he really needs to run away.
So, Kaneda Xiong and Snake Spirit are not the same group?
"Why do you snake spirits care so much about Teru Morikawa?"
Haruhiko asked, remembering his previous guess.
"No comment."
Suiryufu shook his head lightly.
"Does he have the consciousness of a god in him?"
Haruhiko narrowed his eyes and asked.
Suiryufu was stunned.
He looked at Haruhiko with a shocked expression on his face.
But soon, he realized something.
"The destruction of Tiantian Nu's fate ruins turned out to be your fault."
Suiryufu took a deep breath and said, "It seems that arresting you is indeed the right choice."
"Are you so confident that you can catch me?"
Haruhiko winked at Bai Shuang, signaling it to run away.
"I know you have a means of escape."
Suiryusuke chuckled and said, "But this is the ruins of Takamagahara, and you cannot return to the ground."
Haruhiko was silent.
He actually made a good point.
Even the butterfly ring given by Tsuchimikado Marri can only be teleported within the Takamagahara ruins.
If you want to return, you must make arrangements in advance.
Just like the snake spirit teleporting him to the ruins of Gaotian Yuan, it was a teleportation array buried in advance.
And most of them are expensive.
Qingyan is actually not worried about himself, he is worried about Bai Shuang.
But Bai Shuang was also hesitant at this time.
It didn't know that Haruhiko had a game plug-in like the player's spawn point.
It would be difficult to escape without exposing your true strength.
"Okay, the chat is over."
Suiryufu clapped his hands, and a stream of spiritual energy floated upward with him as the center, forming a translucent shield in the blink of an eye.
Haruhiko looked up and down, but couldn't tell what kind of spell it was.
After all, he is only the third level.
"It's a time spell."
Bai Shuang suddenly explained, "It has the ability to retrace spells, but it is only effective for low-level psychics."
Haruhiko understood immediately.
If he uses a spell, it will be backtracked and cannot be cast.
In simpler gaming terms, it's called increasing skill cooldowns.
For example, the third-level spell theoretically takes six seconds, but within this shield, it takes twelve seconds.
"I advise you to just surrender."
Suiryufu raised his hand and said, "Two third-level psykers, why bother struggling."
Two third level?
Haruhiko was slightly startled.
Didn't he see that Bai Shuang was a fourth-level demon?
How strange.
It stands to reason that psykers of the same level should be able to sense each other.
The likelihood of admitting a mistake is relatively small.
Unless they are not of the same level, or have special spiritual tools.
Haruhiko prefers the latter.
But no matter what, this is a beneficial thing.
Shui Longfu thought that they were all third level, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to them.
"Baishang, leave alone and don't worry about me."
Haruhiko said, "I have a way."
"Arrogant!"
Suiryufu snorted coldly, stopped talking nonsense, and attacked directly.
Dark purple mist spurted out.
Without any chanting, the spell was formed directly.
In front of Haruhiko, a giant python appeared.
It looked up to the sky and roared, and an invisible wave spread out.
Qingyan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his body stiff.
It's a sonic spell.
Moreover, Suiryufu is also a divine envoy.
In this case, it's a bit troublesome.
But he can still use the player's spawn point.
The trouble is that Bai Shuang didn't leave.
Haruhiko was speechless.
Is now the time to be brave?
Just then, a white light flashed.
Haruhiko's eyes widened.
Bai Shuang has two more tails.
And its size also increased instantly, directly surpassing Haruhiko, almost two meters tall.
"so big……"
Haruhiko looked blank.
Is this Bai Shuang’s real demon body?
"Tianhu?!"
Suiryufu cried out in horror.
He felt an unprecedented crisis.
The terrifying spiritual energy reminded him that the white fox in front of him turned into a god of death that could harvest his life in the blink of an eye.
He waved hard without hesitation.
The giant python in the air attacked Haruhiko at extremely fast speeds.
Bai Shuang opened his mouth, gathered his spiritual energy, and instantly spit out a white ball.
The fluctuation of distance spreads.
The white ball suddenly exploded.
Bai Shuang stood in front of Haruhiko.
The giant python was instantly wiped out.
A dark purple shield appeared on Suiryuusuke's body.
But it didn't even hold on for a second before it broke into points of light.
His body flew out immediately.
Haruhiko looked blank.
No matter how stupid he is, he should understand that Bai Shuang is not the fourth level, but the fifth level.
Suiryufu is a fourth-level divine envoy who can cast all spells instantly. In theory, he is the strongest among the fourth-level ones.
But in front of Bai Shuang, it was obviously abnormal to have no power to fight back.
"Aunt Dongyu?"
Haruhiko asked tentatively.
Bai Shuang's body froze, but he didn't reply.
It rolled its eyes slightly, turned around and kicked Haruhiko onto its back, and then ran outside.
Haruhiko felt like he was wrapped in soft fox fur, and everything was white.
He was startled slightly, and suddenly understood why he ran.
This is actually the Snake Spirit's lair.
After Suiryusuke was injured, he immediately sent out a signal.
In a blink of an eye, a group of people arrived.
However, Bai Shuang's speed was amazing and he got rid of them in just a few strokes.
And Haruhiko didn't notice any bumps on its back.
It's a really good mount.
After this thought crossed his mind, he shook his head quickly.
If Bai Shuang is the Winter Emperor of Jinguji Temple, then he is indeed a bit treacherous.
After a long time, Haruhiko felt the fox under him stop.
He immediately stood up and landed on the ground.
Bai Shuang shrank quickly and returned to its original shape.
The tail has also been reduced to one.
Haruhiko stared at it.
Bai Shuang turned her head away, only her tail was twitching uneasily.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Seeing its appearance, Haruhiko asked, "Aunt Toyu."
Suiryufu calls Bai Shuang Tianhu.
It's the fifth level again.
There is a high probability that it is Jinguji Fuyomi.
It was updated at 0:50 yesterday, not a discontinuous update. I've been busy these two days and I'm a little stuck, so I don't have a lot of money, sorry.
