Yadou's speed and efficiency were faster than Gu Mo imagined, which made him a little unexpected, but it did not affect him from meeting the other party.
This is unavoidable. Unless he has no previous thoughts and plans to work alone, otherwise, as long as he still wants to take advantage of the opportunity and take advantage of the god's labor force to be so cheap and high-quality, he can buy a wave of liver replacement services. Then Meeting Yato is inevitable...
As for the existence of the guardian spirit, it is indeed a bit difficult to conceal, but it is not particularly important.
Because this is also an unavoidable problem. He can't always hide his specialness in front of Yadou, and he has no intention of pretending to be an ordinary person with nothing special at all. Such a persona cannot be a partner of justice. , team up with each other to gain experience by farming monsters.
He planned to try his best to conceal their existence, and at the same time, he was also thinking about what kind of reason he should find to explain. Anyway, as long as the other party did not think that the guardian spirits were evil monsters, there would probably be no problem.
But having said that, this shouldn’t happen—
After all, this world seems to be relatively close to the world view of the previous copy, and the nature of the guardian spirits is also different from that of pure demons. They are born with the special property of two sides, and they can be transformed into unparalleled monsters. Demons can also possess extremely high divinity.
However, most of the time, guardian spirits are relatively neutral and peaceful. There are not always cases where they become extreme. However, it is often influenced by external factors and the host that they will definitely lean towards a certain side, causing the balance to tilt seriously.
Therefore, Gu Mo, who had been mentally prepared for this, thought about it for a while, but made a decision without hesitating for too long——
Anyway, there is a way to deal with it.
He hailed a taxi on the road opposite the hospital, told the driver his request, and then headed straight to the alley.
…………
At this time, it was afternoon and the sun began to set in the west.
Moreover, the nearby junior high school has just finished school. The energetic students in their prime are walking home in twos and threes, talking, laughing, and jumping. They are at a carefree age and can worry. The things I do are nothing more than exam assignments and the like, and I don’t know how busy and difficult life is.
Not just mortals, but a society of gods as competitive as the human world.
Standing in front of the trash can in the alley next to it, Yato, who had no godly demeanor at all, had just rummaged through the trash can. He was holding a luggage bag in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were drooped, looking very distressed. The duffel bag became dirty in the trash can and the zipper was roughly unzipped.
There were only messy clothes inside, but nothing else.
For example, it was like a wallet, ID, etc. This was not visible at all. He glanced inside the trash can. There was not too much trash, but obviously there was no such thing...
He turned his head and looked around again, and couldn't help but twitching his lips. The luggage bag would appear here, so he basically knew what was going on. It was probably that the foreign tourist had his luggage stolen, and the thief who took it had The valuable things were roughly plundered, and the remaining bags and useless clothes were thrown here.
Sure enough, this commission was not very easy to do. After all, he didn't know where the remaining things had gone. It would take a lot of effort to recover them. He couldn't guarantee whether those things were still intact...
"I have a bit of a headache. Let's see what the client has to say first."
After tapping his head lightly, Yadou decided to see what his client thought first. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel that it would be great if he still had the artifact in hand. In this case, he might be like the one who needed to eliminate the demon before. The battle commission is more suitable for me.
After all, in the final analysis, he is actually a position that should be classified as a "God of War". This is a relatively broad concept that refers to those fighting sects with relatively similar properties, such as the upright God of War, the glorious and great God of War, and immortality. It is their nature to fight as wild souls. They are gods and spirits born from the desire to defeat the enemy.
Yato can also be classified in this area, so what he is best at is fighting. If the problem can be solved with a sword, it will be much easier for him.
"What are you thinking about? You can't be half-hearted..."
After being a little lost in fantasy for a while, Yadou reacted and quickly shook his head vigorously. Not to mention that he was now in an embarrassing situation without even a magic weapon on hand. Even if the soundtrack didn't run away, he wouldn't You can be so picky.
After all, there are only a few destined people who can see themselves, and there are even fewer people who really need their help and can see their messages. Therefore, there are not as many commissions as expected. When you are unlucky, you often don’t receive an order for thirty to fifty days or longer.
Many times, Yadou was a little panicked, worried that he would disappear before the next commission arrived.
After all, he has no shrine to worship him, lacks incense and a fixed group of believers, and can only collect five yen as his "prayer" reward after helping humans achieve their wishes. The essence is to maintain his unstable existence as an unknown god. So if no one gets to know him and no one remembers him——
As an unknown god without a shrine, he will naturally disappear completely quickly.
This is an inevitable and cruel law. He has been working hard because he is uneasy about being forgotten by humans and disappearing, so he has wanted to have a shrine of his own since he was a child.
Sighing softly, carrying the luggage bag, Yadou walked to the wall on the other side of the alley and leaned against it, looking at the pedestrians and students hurriedly passing by at the entrance of the alley. Then he frowned and looked back. Sitting deep in the alley behind him, he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a short while, he suddenly noticed something and looked back in surprise.
Not long after, a slender figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.
"Yato...sir?"
Gu Mo looked at the person standing in the alley. He was a young man with purple hair and blue eyes who seemed to have a somewhat frivolous temperament. He was wearing a simple sportswear and a white scarf hanging around his neck...
The long-standing impression that had been blurred became clear at this moment. He recognized the image of this poor god who was so poor that he made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears... This person was indeed the rightful owner he was looking for. However, the other party showed a shocked expression at this moment.
——You should be surprised by the power and aura of the guardian spirit you hold?
Gu Mo's mind was spinning. Although he knew that there was no way to hide the specialness of the guardian spirit, he would not hide it without covering it up. So the current method was to let the nine tails possess him, and then let the white viper stay with him and carry it with him. on a utility knife.
Because if you are surrounded by yourself, then it is very likely that the other party can be directly seen - mainly because the other party's existence form is similar, and it is very likely that it is in a close realm to the existence of the guardian spirit - so for the time being This is the only possible solution.
Only in large vessels can guardian spirits be accommodated. In other words, the human existence itself is a large vessel, and guardian spirits reside in it. Although they can usually surround the host and move freely within a certain range, that is because most of Gu Mo Because there were no restrictions at all.
If necessary, he can take them back. It is said to hide the weapons in the body and wait for the time to move.
Of course, there is nothing to say about possession, because the guardian spirit originally chooses and protects the host in the form of possession - "dependence and integration" is also based on this, but it is only like this when the power of the guardian spirit is activated. The same thing, if it is simply attached to the body, there is actually no consumption.
As for being lodged on the tool knife, this is the application method of Ninety-nine Weapons, and it is also a key discovered by Gu Mo - just like possession, as long as the power of the guardian spirit is not activated to consume and use it, a huge power will burst out. Yes, then just letting the guardian spirit stay on the weapon temporarily does not consume much.
In this way, he made the snakes and foxes surrounding him temporarily hide themselves in this way.
They are still around him, but they will no longer be seen directly... In this case, they should be able to hide it from the poor god in front of him, right? Gu Mo thought so, but looking at Yadou's expression, he felt unsure again.
"..."
"..."
There was silence.
The air became silent briefly.
Yadou looked at the figure that appeared at the entrance of the alley. He opened his mouth at first but said nothing. Then he looked back at the alley behind him. Then he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly became special. Getting weird.
He took a deep breath first, and then said: "So that's it, I probably understand... Your commission is not actually to find lost items, right?"
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little surprised in his heart. He had tried his best to cover it up and leave no traces, but... as expected, he was still seen through right away? As expected, this poor nameless god cannot be underestimated. Although he seems to be a martial arts sect that is more adept at muscles, he is after all a supernatural being that cannot be touched by ordinary people.
After all, he was unconsciously preoccupied by the impression of the plot. It seems that this needs to be reviewed... He sighed inwardly, and then prepared to explain.
"I don't know where you heard about me, but I haven't been in that business for a long time now..."
At this time, Yadou continued, his expression somewhat helpless: "And that was already a matter of the Warring States Period. Now even if there are other gods entrusting me, you should know that I usually only accept It’s a commission to kill the demon.”
At this point, he paused for a moment and shook his head: "That's basically it. If you want to kill people... I may not be able to help you."
Huh?
Gu Mo was also stunned for a moment, but his thoughts began to spin rapidly. The other party seemed to have seen something, but he misunderstood it instead?
"I don't know where you heard about me", "Even if there are other gods entrusting me now"... the key words were quickly filtered in my mind, and then I contacted the phone call I had made before. , and now the opposite person seems to be very helpless in his explanation. He shook his eyebrows and his expression became very subtle.
so--
Shouldn't he regard himself as one of the "other gods" who came to give him commissions?
As soon as he thought about it, Gu Mo suddenly felt that things had become very ridiculous. He thought about many possibilities and solutions, but he never thought that it would unfold like this. Is the concept of "gods" in this copy too worthless? A little?
but……
Looking at the so-called gods with the word "poor" written all over their faces and living a precarious life, and then thinking about the fact that most of the so-called eight million gods probably have such a hard-working style, even the entire The themes of the dungeons are all about new stories of gods that are very close to real society.
Gu Mo felt that it seemed completely understandable. After all, if he really considered it...whether it was the Nine-Tails or the White Snake, they were all his guardian spirits, equivalent to half of his body. So according to what he thought, Judging from the background held.
——It seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with this view, and it cannot even be said that Yato admitted his mistake.
So, what is this... Gu Mo's face was full of confusion. The plans he had prepared before and all the plans he had envisioned seemed to be of no use.
"You deliberately asked me to come here because of what happened here, right? That woman... is your believer? Or does it have some connection?" Yadou didn't notice the other person's appearance, he was just minding his own business. He looked back at the depths of the alley and couldn't help but sigh.
Wandering between this shore and the other shore, you can naturally see many things that do not exist in reality, so you can always understand what happened somewhere...
No wonder the other party asked him directly whether he would accept the murder commission when he called him before. It turned out to be for this reason.
Yadou felt that he had figured out the reason, and immediately thought that he understood the other party's thoughts. The aura on the other party's body was obviously fluctuating. It was probably that he was in a bad situation like himself, and his existence was not counted. Stable, maybe it is struggling on the edge of a critical point that may disappear at any time.
Under such circumstances, every relatively stable believer is precious... If this happened to me, I would probably be extremely angry.
"That's right..." Gu Mo was silent for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.
He was thinking about how to change his original plan, but the incident happened in a hurry and there was no time for him to think clearly, so he was naturally a little unsure for a while.
Yadou stared at him for a while, and then made a suggestion: "Well, I haven't done anything like killing people for a long time, and I don't plan to go back to my old business easily now, but... I can help you check it out. What's going on, how about letting you decide for yourself what to do?"
He has also been hanging out in this city for a while, and has never met the person in front of him before, so he naturally feels that the other person is not lying at all. The other person has indeed just arrived from out of town recently.
It is probably for this reason that there are no believers who can shelter here. After all, these poor wild gods are not as powerful and omnipotent as humans imagine. Although they have many abilities that surpass humans, there are also many things. It can't be done.
Therefore, he could only help with the investigation. At least he was more familiar with the local situation than the other party who had just arrived in this city.
"I probably know who the murderer is..." Gu Mo said softly.
"That's it..." Yadou nodded with a little regret. It seemed that this business could not be done. No wonder he wanted to directly issue a murder commission, but he still did not intend to accept it.
Maybe in the eyes of the other party who heard the news about him from nowhere, he is the god of disaster. He is originally specialized in doing such dirty work, so he came here specially, just like other gods who want to deal with it. When certain demons appear, they will come over and give you a commission.
But Yato himself has long hated being the God of Disaster, hates this fate that seems to be cursed, and doesn't want to go back to the past.
