The cross-border cracks slowly closed, and the coldness on the face gradually became weaker.
Obviously, the reason why this narrow crack, which could only pass through a Hades butterfly, expanded to such an extent was due to the handiwork of the Lord of the Underworld.
It was she who acquiesced to this act.
However, this does not mean that he approves of a small onmyoji who disrupts the order of the underworld again and again.
However, in the last look at each other, those eyes that could see through people's hearts slightly raised their corners, as if they saw something interesting.
"You will come, Onmyoji."
"Ah."
There are faint words crossing the border from the crack that is about to be annihilated.
The voice was lazy and filled with endless coercion.
'Sure enough, he was targeted by that existence. '
Huang's face looked a little unnatural.
Because he would go to the underworld for a while, in order to get the legendary big monster Higanbana.
"I also look forward to following you to see the underworld that has existed since ancient times, Onmyoji-sama."
"Can this be regarded as my wish?"
There was a joking encouragement in my ears.
No need to guess, it is the voice of Phoenix Fire.
"I see."
Luang twitched the corners of his eyes, a hint of helplessness popping into his eyes.
He knew that the monster who did not talk about wishes or conditions when it first arrived must have wanted to stay behind and give him a 'hard' blow.
But what is Xueli’s wish...
As for the special ability [Swallow] left by the Hungry Ghost:
Skill description: Hungry! So hungry! Everything I want to eat!
Skill effect: From the blood of yourself and the enemies killed by the shikigami, you can absorb one percent of the opponent's all-round power during his lifetime.
【How will you use it? Onmyoji. 】
A powerful and terrifying ability.
If the hungry ghost itself was not too weak, perhaps he could become a terrifying monster with this ability.
"That, Huang."
Just as he was combing through what he had gained on the Spiritual Island, a timid call fell on his ears.
"Um."
Aang subconsciously hummed and raised his gaze.
What caught his eye was the Uzumaki girl, Honoka, who was also the target of her mission to the Soul Island.
At this moment, she stood somewhat restrainedly in sight, her long red hair hanging meekly behind her, and her hands with nowhere to rest were wrapped in white bandages.
"What's wrong?"
After humming slightly, he quickly added.
This is a 'warning' given by Yu Quan a long time ago.
"Repay."
"What do you want in return?"
Staring at the approaching young man, Honoka's words began to be a little flustered, and her eyes that fell on the former also moved away, becoming a little erratic.
She thought about it for a long time.
However, I really can't think of anything I can do in return.
Didn't even have the sealing technique to suppress that monster?
Perhaps, this was an ability she was once proud of, but now...
"Oh, do you have somewhere to go? If not, then become my subordinate."
Huang almost forgot about this incident. After all, the shock brought by Yama, the Lord of One Hundred Demons, made him somewhat confused.
And the sealing technique alone doesn't seem to be a big help to him currently.
What's more, there is a little Xianglin at Granny Cat's place, which is the real treasure of the Uzumaki clan!
Coupled with the [Blessing of the Uzumaki Clan] obtained from this trip, it is the best reward.
but.
If we encounter a 'wild' tailed beast or a 'wild' Jinchūriki, we can probably use the power of this clan to seal it?
After all, Xianglin is still too young now.
He is a little one of the same age as the Konoha Twelve, and it will take time to grow up.
"Subordinates?"
Honoka muttered the word.
This seemed a bit beyond her imagination.
"Well, how's it going?"
Huang feels more and more feasible.
Besides, Xianglin also needs a teacher who knows something about sealing, right?
After all, he does not master various secret techniques like Orochimaru, nor has he read through the various classics collected by Konoha.
As for Katori's ability, I didn't ask him about it properly.
"What do I need to do?"
The girl's tone was a little confused.
"My power doesn't seem to be of much help to you."
she continued.
After all, the other party wiped out that monster by himself!
This is much, much more powerful than the sealing technique.
"Yeah, indeed."
Huang nodded slightly.
Such a straightforward response immediately stunned the girl, and a blush appeared on her clean cheeks.
Not shy, but inexplicably embarrassed.
Although what the guy in front of me recognized was the truth, he also admitted it.
But, there’s no need to be so straightforward.
She is a girl after all!
No shame!
"However, I brought back two Uzumaki clan members from Kusakure Village a few days ago."
Not paying attention to the change in the girl's expression, Huang continued.
Because a deal is a deal.
This seems to him to be a normal thing.
"Uzumaki clan!"
After hearing such words, Honoka suddenly exclaimed.
"How did you know...?"
"It's probably because of the hair."
There is something cute about the way the girl asks and answers herself.
But being able to still hear the presence of the same race still made her heart feel somewhat warm.
very nice.
You don't live alone.
"Well, it's not just the hair."
"And the sealing technique you performed in the laboratory should be unique to the Uzumaki clan - [King Kong Seal]."
Huang explained.
"I would like to ask you to teach one of the little guys to learn the art of sealing."
He continued to spread his purpose.
'? ? '
However, such unnecessary words made Honoka subconsciously clenched her fists.
Is the emotion itself a tool used to help teach other tribesmen the sealing technique?
Suddenly, she actually 'hated' the clansman she had never met before.
"good."
"In return, I will teach her all the sealing techniques I have mastered."
"I'll leave after that, okay?"
Honoka didn't know why she said such angry words.
Obviously she was still so remorseful and sad before on the psychic island, but now...
"Yeah, okay."
"When the time comes, it's up to you to decide whether to stay or go."
Huang didn't hesitate.
This kind of transaction seems to be fair to both parties.
However, this simple answer made Onagawa clenched her fists tighter.
Of course, she didn't say anything more, she just loosened her hands and turned around to leave.
"Wait a moment."
But at this moment, Huang suddenly made a sound.
"Is there anything else?"
Honoka turned sideways and asked.
The little emotions in my heart have calmed down a bit.
No matter what, the other person is his savior, the one who saved him when he was most desperate.
"Give me your hand."
Huang's words were still direct, and at the same time, an exuberant vitality lingered on his fingertips.
[Ghostly entanglement·Dead trees grow flowers! 】
"do what?"
Such a request directly made Honoka take a few steps back, and instead of holding out her hands as instructed, she put her hands behind her back, as if to guard against wolves.
"You are injured. Let me help you heal."
Hearing the vigilant question, Huang said naturally.
"From now on, you can be considered as my subordinate."
He continued, his eyes calm.
"oh."
Hearing this, Honoka's expression froze. It took her a long time to squeeze out a single word, but then she came closer and stretched out her bandaged hands.
The girl's hands were beautiful, slender and white, but the presence of several scars somewhat destroyed the beauty.
After gently untying the bandage, Huang's fingers traced the scars that snaked on the opponent's palm one by one, and the abundant vitality also escaped, and he could easily heal these wounds. This was the power of Yingcao.
"If you encounter a fight or other emergencies in the future, protect yourself first."
"Do not worry about me."
After releasing the girl's hand, Huang added.
When he summoned the giant eagle and escaped from the crater, he naturally took in the situation below. These wounds should be the marks left by the opponent when he moved the boulders.
But the girl in front of her seemed to have lost her computer, and she became silent again. She didn't know what she was looking at with her eyes blankly.
"understand?"
Huang subconsciously asked again and waved his raised palm in front of his eyes.
Hearing the sound, Honoko suddenly woke up, her eyes suddenly turned away from the young man, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
It turns out, it turns out that this idiot also knows that she is worried about him!
"oh!"
Still the same single word.
However, the tone seemed a bit heavier.
This way of answering made Huang a little stunned.
Sister Quan said that when talking to others, especially when talking to girls, you cannot only say one word every time.
Because this is the most basic respect and cannot be treated perfunctorily.
Now, he will pay attention to this every time he talks to others. Even if he occasionally speaks a single word, he will immediately add something.
However, Sister Quan seems to have never taught herself how to respond if the other party always answers word for word.
"puff!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You're laughing me to death, you're laughing me to death!"
The sudden laughter broke the deadlock in the room.
"Huang, you are really stupid."
It was Qianno's voice. She didn't know when she came to the door, followed by a middle-aged man. Ara seemed to remember that the man was called Hirakawa Tsukasa or Hirakawa Tonglai?
Well, no matter what he is called, he is just the man who was punched hard by Chino.
Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Honoka's face also turned an inexplicable blush.
"Then let's do this for now."
After finishing her sentence in a panic, she hurriedly walked out the door.
At the same time, when passing by Qianno, he didn't forget to slightly bow his lower body, as if to thank the laboratory for its kindness.
But just as she was about to step out of the room, she hesitated and turned around.
"correct."
"You said you can stay or go as you like when the time comes, right?"
There was inexplicable emotion hidden in Honoka's voice.
There is anxiety, panic, hope, and maybe others.
"um, yes."
"You can leave then."
"I will keep my promise."
Huang didn't doubt him, thinking that the other party still cared about the previous verbal agreement.
However........
"Hahaha......."
Qianno's restrained laughter burst out again, and seemed to become more and more "unbridled". She even covered her stomach with her hands, and there was a faint splash of water in her eyes.
"oh!!"
In this regard, Honoka ended with that eternal word again, and the angry tone was still audible.
But why?
He looked bewildered.
at the same time.
[Goodness]: Honoka's gratitude. (erase)
【Good】: Honoka’s disgust!
"...So, you want to come with me?"
Huang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some uncertainty.
He really couldn't figure out the other person's thoughts.
After all, except for the conflict when they first met, there seems to be no intersection between them, right?
Letting the remaining four researchers go back with the ship is only out of humanitarianism.
Of course, he would have used the kaleidoscope to change something before disembarking.
"Yes, I have thought about it. We were wrong in those experiments."
"Those who do not respect life will eventually be swallowed up by the consequences, so I want to follow you and make up for something."
"I'm different from them. I'm a researcher from the Kingdom of the Sea. Therefore, there won't be any particularly strong restrictions. I will resign to His Highness the Daimyo after I return to the country."
Hirakawa explained seriously.
The terrifying monster they created with their own hands, the ferocious monster that devoured most of the people they worked with, became an indelible shadow in his memory.
It is impossible to continue such research.
Now he just wants to atone for his sins and be grateful.
"make up?"
"It seems like you shouldn't be making up for me, right?"
Huang's voice was full of doubts, and he didn't readily agree.
Why would he take the initiative to invite Honoka to join?
That's because there is [kindness], which can directly tell whether the other party has malicious intentions.
But he was a little unsure about the guy in front of him.
"Well, yes, we should make amends to those psychic beasts."
Hirakawa Si's voice became slightly lower, and real guilt appeared in his eyes.
In order to create the ultimate 'weapon', they fed countless psychic beasts as the source of power.
"But they won't accept us anymore either."
"What you want in the end is that those psychic beasts recognize you."
"So I want to use my knowledge and abilities on you and the companions behind you."
"If I'm not wrong, you are preparing, or you already have some power, so you are aggressively recruiting psychic beasts on the island."
He looked directly at the young man in front of him, and there was determination in his eyes.
Such an answer made Huang's eyes twitch slightly.
To be honest, he was moved.
Although science does not develop very quickly in this plane, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated.
The most typical example is Orochimaru among the Sannin.
"So, what is your ability?"
"No."
"Before that, you have one more thing to do."
"Qianno, go call Yu Huo."
Aara suddenly thought of his promise to the girl from the Kingdom of the Sea, Kamigakure, and compared to letting Katori and her daughter slowly absorb knowledge and study slowly, it would be faster to let this guy with the basics do the surgery.
"Okay~"
The little guy also thought of something, responded and ran out quickly.
Hirakawaji, on the other hand, trembled slightly and directly used respectful words.
"what do you mean?"
Although he also knew that the other party would most likely accept him, after all, no force would refuse a 'scientist' to join.
However, after he really got the other party's promise, he still felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
It was just as exciting as when I first set up the project to create the ultimate psychic beast.
"Yes, I agree, but before that, please donate your blood!"
A kunai was thrown away by him.
At the same time, stage tasks: [The prototype is beginning to take shape·Recruiting ten people]
Achieved!
