"So soon? I also want to invite Masako-sama to try our town's unique cucumbers in sugar water."

Tomoda Komachi's words made Hei Masato raise his eyebrows.

"Cucumber in sugar water?"

"Yes, we used cucumbers grown in our town and soaked them in mountain streams for more than an hour.

The temperature of the streams in the mountains is relatively low. Soaking cucumbers in running water will not only clean them, but also create a cool and crisp taste.

At this time, take it out, slice it, and pour it with ice-cold sticky sugar water. It tastes great."

So, he thought it was the Cantonese sugar water from Tianchao.

After all, he was able to hide things from the local gods, so he might not be a native of Japan.

"Master Masako, do you want to try it? It tastes really good.

And it’s not that far away, just two streets east of the shrine.”

"Yes, yes, if you want to eat, I will ask my brother to call Ahua and ask her to reserve a seat for us."

"Are there many guests?"

"Well, it's June, and the weather is starting to heat up. Ahua's place is quite famous, and there are often guests from outside coming here just to drink sugar water."

"That's not necessary, we still have important things to do and we need to continue hunting down these monsters.

Although this guy's spirituality has been polluted by killing, he is one of the few in the middle stage of foundation building by the Kaidan team. He may have some important information, so he needs to be taken back quickly and let the torture team help torture him."

The older young woman who pretended to be a girl showed her disappointment unabashedly, seemingly unaware of the sharpness in Ping Yaren's words.

"Then, next time you have a chance, please be sure to come to our Tomoda Shrine...

Sir, why don't we exchange mailing addresses?"

Tomoda Komachi's idiotic look made Hei Masato suddenly feel that he was a bit of a villain, and he couldn't help but blush.

Does this girl know how cruel the torture team of the Countermeasures Bureau is?

"Okay, okay, but don't spread it randomly."

Komachi's eyes have turned into stars.

“I’ll make it an heirloom on the spot!”

…

After leaving Tomoda Shrine, the master and apprentice got into a special car provided by the Edo Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau.

The person responsible for driving is a middle-aged uncle who is in the stage of metamorphosis. He is also responsible for supporting and gathering intelligence from a distance.

So before the car had driven far, the uncle asked.

"Masato-sama, is there something wrong with this shrine?"

Pingya thought for a moment and decided to be more conservative.

It’s not like the earth veins and gods cannot be deceived. Didn’t he discover the power of poverty in the earth veins he had sorted out for Laiyu Town for so long?

"I'm not sure if there is any problem, but Miss Mary's incident should have happened to the witch by chance."

"So are we still going to look for traces of the eight-foot girl here?"

The "we" here are not him and the countermeasures bureau, but the four people in this car.

"...let me think about it."

The Pingya people were helpless. Their original target was the eight-foot girl.

The situation of the eight-footed girl is the most unique among all Kaitan monsters. No one has actually seen her.

Every time she attacked those little boys, she would use her clone to absorb the life force, and then turn into mist and leave. The witnesses present could only see the cold ice mist, a white dress more than two meters long and a straw hat.

Some people also speculated that the true nature of the eight-foot girl was these three things. It was not until he arrived in Edo that he used the Suigetsu Cave Heavenly Mirror as a basis and used a piece of sealed white cloth as a guide to perform water mirror divination. Only then did he confirm that the true identity of the other party was indeed

She is a female ghost, and she found this rural town that seems to be the hiding place of her true body.

Considering that both he and Xiaohu were relatively well-known, Yugui was asked to pretend to be an ordinary kid with good qualifications and try fishing. Unexpectedly, he failed to catch the big fish, but instead caught a not-so-intelligent Miss Mary.

If Bachi Nu was really hiding in the town, she would have been alerted by now.

If she can resist eating the grass from the nest, her intelligence must be online. Even if she is not afraid of the three masters and apprentices, she will definitely run away considering the support of the Countermeasures Bureau.

I just don’t know if she would attack the children in the town before she ran away.

Considering the behavior of the Ghost Talk Group, both them and the driver couldn't help but think of this possibility, so they all asked this question.

Now, in order to capture the members of the Kaidan Team, the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau has opened the barriers to the highest level in several cities with high crime rates, such as Edo and Kyoto. The surrounding space is extremely stagnant, and methods such as temporary teleportation are basically blocked. Even if he uses

There is no direct connection from Kaimen to Edo, otherwise there would not be a dedicated driver for them.

Even opening the boundary gate is not impossible, but it will take four or five hours to go back and forth. With the power of the Tomoda brothers and the evasive land god, there is definitely no way to save the entire town.

According to the records of the Countermeasures Bureau, it only takes a few minutes for the clone of the eight-foot girl to suck a child into a mummy. There are only 20 boys in this town, which means it takes more than an hour.

However, the Countermeasures Bureau wants them to send Miss Mary back as soon as possible. Regardless of the information, Miss Mary has a very good relationship with another monster of the Kaitan Group, "Twist".

The Kaidan Group is an outlier among monsters. Both humans and the Hyakki Demon Realm tend to reject them. For example, Purple Mirror's ability to become Kiyohime's subordinate is already a special case among special cases.

Rejected by all parties, the Kaitan monsters who feel empty and lonely in their hearts attach great importance to their friendship. In order for Sako to confront Minamoto, Granny Kao, twisting and twisting this guy, is likely to be fished out by Miss Mary.

After thinking about it, he decided to use his face to crush the person.

"Let's do this, uncle, please report the situation here and there, and ask the Countermeasures Bureau to send two people who are good at interrogating intelligence.

As for making bait, just follow what I said and take it easy for the time being."

"Yes... hmm?!"

The temperature suddenly dropped, and fog with ice crystals appeared out of thin air, shrouding the car.

Xiaohu, who was sitting in the back, seemed to feel a natural enemy. He had an inexplicable feeling that he might die the moment he became a man. He couldn't help but grab Yugui's little hand, leaned forward and asked.

"Brother Yaren, could this be..."

"...It's really impressive."

Forget about Xiaohu, you even dare to covet his body?!

"Eh?"

"Don't worry, there are only four or five clones. Although each clone is stronger than this parallel import Miss Mary, their strength is limited.

Take the sealing gem and don't put it into your secret realm. I want to see how much the Ghost Story Team values ​​its partners."

"Master Masato, should I give it to the Countermeasures Bureau..."

"It's quite busy over there now, so there's no need for such a small thing."

The driver still wanted to give some advice, but Pingya had already got out of the car and closed the door.

"this……"

"no need to worry."

Yugui held Xiaohu's left hand behind his back and comforted the driver.

"Just turn on the barrier on the car and hide. My teacher looks young, but his methods are very violent..."

Rumble~

Several rippling air waves swept across the car, and the driver in the transformation stage confirmed in an instant that this was an attack that he could never bear, the aftermath of a Jindan stage attack.

"...Look, I'm right?"

…

He casually used talismans to set up a magic circle around the car. The Pingya man, whose whole body was illuminated by the golden light of the pure spirit fire, raised his hand and took out the three-phase cannon.

He didn't use the power of emotions or dreams, but just poured the spiritual power of the Moon Night Mark into it. The condensed bombardment was beyond the resistance of these superficial clones.

At this moment, a woman with withered hair and a haggard appearance wearing a white dress and a straw hat appeared in front of him.

He smiled disdainfully. Judging from the results of the water mirror divination, the original body of the eight-foot girl should be a long, black, straight female ghost similar to Sadako, and this guy should also be a clone.

He raised his hand and fired a shot, but he didn't expect that the opponent actually blocked the blow with his pair of claws as sharp as wild beasts.

Late stage of foundation building?

Kagura's Heart Eye was activated, and the suppression of his perception by the surrounding ice fog was directly eliminated.

"Twenty-one dress clones, three physical late-stage foundation-building clones, and there are only four men in this car, which is not enough for you."

Three late-stage clones surrounded Ping Yaren and suddenly opened their toothless cherry mouths.

popopo~

A low, hoarse, male-like strange smile enveloped him, trying to lull his spirit into a ghostly state.

It's a pity that he has never been afraid of sound.

A young girl appeared in front of him, first covering him with a bell-shaped air mask, then opening her little mouth and taking a breath.

"Oops, uncle, plug your ears!"
