Chapter 122
Chapter 122
The girl has a clear and sweet voice. She is wearing a lace dress that is popular among noble girls nowadays. Her long golden hair hangs straight behind her waist, and a hat and hairpin of the same style is adorned between her temples. Under the layered skirt is a small package Slim legs and slender feet in solid color stockings.
Exquisite and pure appearance, but what he revealed with a smile in his mouth was the content that made everyone dumbfounded.
Let their ghost killing team become an official organization authorized by the government?
Jiuzhu couldn't help recalling the inconveniences of being misunderstood by locals as illegal knife-wielders or bandits of unknown origin when they were carrying out missions all over the country because there was no official certificate, and they were even tied up and sent to officials.Now someone actually told the boss to immediately order someone to make the Ghost Killing Team regular?
Who is this?What a big breath!
When the girl who spoke turned her head and let the nine pillars in the courtyard see her face clearly, Purgatory Kyojuro and Shitou Muichiro inside said "ah" at the same time.
"Miss Tou!"/"Pretend to be the one who can't beat ghosts!"
Tou nodded slightly to the two of them, not mentioning that Yan Zhu, who had met more than once, said that Xia Zhu had indeed helped her even though his appearance in that street ghost attack incident was very brief.It's satisfying to see her character in different situations but not too much.
"Kyojuro, Muichiro, although both of you have met Miss Toru before, but this time I will formally introduce you to everyone including you." The obstetrician Yoya who took a step slowly walked away at this time. Stepping forward, he gently introduced the young girl standing beside him to Jiu Zhu, "This is Miss Tong Xingtou, the eldest daughter of the Chinese Nagano Earl's Mansion, and the person in charge of the Earl's Mansion. She joined the Congress last year and became one of its leaders. One of the members of parliament with real power. Next month, the Nagano Earl's Mansion will be promoted to the title of Marquis by the royal family. You should know the news that the Tokyo Metro has officially started construction in the first month of this year. The person of the project is this Your Excellency."
As he walked into the sunshine of the veranda while introducing, Jiuzhu, who was stunned by what he narrated before, gradually turned his shocked eyes to the master.
My lord...he didn't ask for help this time, but walked over by himself!
"My lord, my lord...!" Lianzhu Ganlusi Mili trembled all over her body, she couldn't help pointing a finger at the lord's very fair face, her face was flushed with excitement, "You, the scars on your face... ...gone!?"
"My lord!" The other pillars expressed the same expression, "Your eyes can see again!?"
Everyone can see the gradual decline of their lord's body over the years. When the lord was still a teenager, his eyes were normal, and his face was not covered by a curse, but as he grew older, the unexplainable strange disease continued. They have taken everything away from the lord, such as physical strength, eyesight, appearance... Recently, even the ability to walk independently has been lost. Jiu Zhu hates it very much, but he is powerless.
But seeing that the current lord not only has no scars on his face, but even his eyesight and walking ability are back to normal, how can they not be overjoyed after being shocked.
The curse is gone!
"It didn't disappear."
Just by looking at the expressions on the children's faces, Ubuyashiki knew what they were thinking, he shook his head in denial, raised his left hand, and held up a piece of sleeve in front of them, exposing his arm, Jiu Zhu was surprised to see the Lord Master's There was a dark purple bump on the forearm, and the scars on it were the same lines as those on the lord's face before.
"As you can see, the curse has not disappeared, it has just been subtly compressed and transferred here. My lifespan is still the same, but my physical condition has been improved a lot." Saying this, Ubuyashiki looked at Toru "All of this is thanks to Your Excellency Tou's shot. She kindly helped me eliminate the curse. After realizing that my curse can only be lifted when Guiwu Tsuji disappears, she tried to transfer and suppress all the cursed cells that spread throughout the body. .”
If he hadn't been the person involved, and he had seen and experienced it with his own eyes, Ubuyashiki would never have believed that someone could be so subtle that he could even manipulate cells at will. The strength of this girl had already surpassed his imagination.
Although Ubuyashiki also feels miraculous, but when he thinks about Onimai Tsuji Mumi and the ghosts created by his blood, as well as the swordsmen who almost slaughtered the ghosts in the past, he suddenly feels that there are stronger people. Nothing more.
Having said that, I believe that there is no need for him to express his attitude. The children below will naturally know how to treat this Excellency.
"Okay, that's amazing!" Ganluji Mitsuri, who is often in love with brains, looked at the girl in western clothes who was on the same level as the lord with admiration, "Not only can heal the lord, but he is also such a powerful big shot outside, even the ghost killing team Can become regular casually...it looks younger than me!"
"It's younger than you, Ganlusi!" Purgatory Xingshourou who knows more is also admiring, "When I first met Tou last year, I looked even smaller than now, and now I have grown up a lot !” While speaking, he put his hands under his ribs first, and then raised them to his chest, sliding back and forth between the two sides.
Tou, who had been silent for a long time, saw this straightforward young man making such gestures of height, and looked over with displeasure: "Mr. Purgatory, I am already 16 years old. As long as I can keep up with nutrition, it is normal for me to grow taller."
The lack of body has been completely made up. When she was 16 years old in this world, her face and height were no longer lolita, but gradually grew into a girlish figure. Now she is only one centimeter short of 1.6 meters.
Nobody can say she's a dwarf anymore!
It was obvious that the girl cared too much about her height, and this protest instantly broke the suppression of all kinds of halos on her body, and no one at the scene couldn't help laughing.
Although he is a very powerful big shot and can do many things that these pillars cannot do, but as expected... he is also a child.
In the end, the master coughed and asked his subordinates to remain serious before continuing: "Today, I invite Your Excellency Tou to participate in the Zhuhe meeting. After the cooperation, how will the Ghost Killing Team reform their policies against ghosts."
A reform against ghosts?
"Didn't they all beheaded and killed?" Shitou Muichiro asked simply.
"It used to be like this, but it's not anymore." Hearing this, Ubuyashiki smiled, and turned his head to look at Toru, "It's up to you to explain the specific news."
"Beheading and killing them all is too wasteful, and they can be of greater use." Without being pretentious, Tou took up the conversation directly, and said to the nine people standing side by side in front of him, "Mr. Purgatory knows something about me. My younger sister, Xiaoniao, was attacked by a ghost and was on the verge of death. I rescued her and broke her body. Her situation is better than that of the obstetrician. It has been carefully maintained, and probably won’t live to be 30 years old. All of this is caused by ghosts, so I also put this account on the head of Onimai Tsuji. It is also the main reason why I appear here now and cooperate with the Ubuyashiki clan .”
"I'm researching ghosts. To be precise, I'm researching the secrets of Ghost Mai Tsuji's body, and I want to make a special medicine that can repair my sister's body. For this, I need a lot of ghosts as experimental subjects to make potions. Ghost Killing As a ghost hunting organization that has been entangled with ghosts for hundreds of years, it is definitely easier for me to find the hiding place of these man-eating monsters than me alone, so I would like to ask you to help me collect ghosts as much as possible. Of course, there is a reward. The higher the level of the ghost, or the ghost with more bloodless blood, I will pay a high amount of hard work to recover each head."
The nine pillars under every sentence the girl said could be understood, but just because they understood, their expressions were also different.Some looked excited, some were suspicious, some looked disapproving, and some didn't care at all.
Before anyone in the nine pillars could speak and ask questions, the girl suddenly raised her hand and made a grabbing motion towards the void on her side.
"By the way, I have brought something here and want to give it to you."
The nine people below all stared wide-eyed. They were stunned to see that the girl pulled out a metal suitcase from the empty space, picked it up as if there was an invisible cabinet, and put it in front of her.
What a trick! ?
Before they could recover from the scene, the girl had already opened the suitcase, and Miyashiki, who was sitting next to her, was the first to see the small black boxes in the suitcase, which looked like ancient straight button mobile phones. But there are only three keys.
"This is a ghost tester newly developed by my research institute. As long as you press the switch button, the reaction of ghosts within a radius of five kilometers will be displayed on the screen." Pulling out such a black technology, Tou's face showed no ups and downs, and demonstrated to the host next to him how to operate the instrument, "After opening it like this, a picture similar to radar scanning will appear on the screen. If ghosts are scanned...Huh? This Are there ghosts nearby?"
The demonstration paused for a while when it actually scanned the presence of ghosts, but soon Tou continued to explain.
"This is better. Lord, please see, the green dot displayed on the radar is where we are holding the ghost detector, and the red dot next to it is the location of the ghost. The two keys above the on/off key can be placed and zoomed out on the radar Range, the smallest range, the clearer the scanned ghost data, the more intuitive the distance. This ghost is two kilometers away from here, located in the southwest corner of us. Does anyone want to confirm whether it is true or not?"
After explaining the usage of the ghost measuring instrument, Tou handed the things in the direction of the nine pillars, but found that the nine people had strange expressions.
"You don't need to try." The butterfly on the worm column held back a smile and raised his hand, "We all know that ghost over there, it lives in my butterfly house, and it is the only ghost that hasn't eaten people. Our companion of the Demon Slayer Squad. Tou... this device of your lord is effective."
"Really? A ghost that doesn't eat people?" Tou blinked her eyes unexpectedly this time, "It's the first time I've heard that it's a rare species. But the Ghost Slayer Team's judgment can't be wrong." She said Not too curious, but turned the box over and pushed the ghost detectors towards the nine pillars.
"These are all newly-made instruments by the research institute. For the time being, there are only a few of them. The output will increase in the future. We will try to equip all the members of the ghost killing team with one." The nine pillars took the things in their hands and touched them curiously. Touched, "On the contrary, if you encounter ghosts that can be captured alive, I would like to ask you to bring them back."
Jiuzhu didn't respond directly, but looked at their lord, and only after seeing the lord nodded slightly did anyone speak.
"Ordinary ghosts are fine." Grasping the small machine that can be held with one hand, Yu Mao Tianyuan put one hand on his waist and said, "But according to what you just said, you actually want the ghosts of the Twelve Ghost Moons more, right? Guy, we can't guarantee that we will be able to catch him alive."
The ghosts on the lower strings can still get along, but the ones on the upper strings... In the past 100 years, there is only news that they killed Zhu, but no one has ever chopped off the head of a stringed ghost.
"I have also considered this, so I prepared this."
The girl's face remained unchanged, and Jiuzhu saw her trick of fetching objects from the void again. This time she took out a jar of...transparent glass beads?She took one out of the jar and pointed it at the sun, where the bead shone brightly.
When the sun goes down, the moon appears, and the glass beads also reflect the soft moonlight.
"Does it really work?"
Holding the beads and looking at the moon, Undead Kawa Miniya looked suspicious.
"Although the gentlemen are powerful in battle, their bodies are full of flesh and blood. Naturally, I will not let everyone take such risks, so I prepared this item. This is a binding item combined with a special technique, aimed at ghosts with bloodless blood It doesn’t matter if it’s an ordinary ghost or the Twelve Ghost Moon, if you hit a ghost when you encounter it, it will take effect immediately and lock them into the beads, and then just bring the beads back.”
Recalling Tong Tongtou's words at the Zhuhe meeting, Bushichuan was dubious.
He put away the beads, took out the ghost detector, and started scanning directly where he thought there were ghosts. It didn't take long for the radar to respond.
In the southeast!
Following the instructions of the radar, Undead Chuan found the evil spirit at once, and rescued the victim who was almost eaten in a very timely manner. The precious time saved, even if he was so unruly, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, "It's really easy to use" .
In order to save people before, Undead River only had time to cut off the ghost's arm, and now it was screaming and reborn with flesh and blood. When this Fengzhu saw this, he was about to chop off its neck with a knife, when he suddenly remembered the ghost in his pocket. He immediately took out the glass beads in the bag and threw them on the ghost with the intention of experimenting.
The transparent glass beads are like the toys that children play with, but when they come into contact with the ghost, they suddenly emit a faint light and stick to the ghost, unable to fall off.
In the next second, the stuck ghost froze as if it had been blocked by something. The whole ghost's face was full of horror and screamed: "What the hell! Why can't I move!? No, Let go of me! Let go of me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Starting from the area where it was stuck by the bead, the ghost's body began to shrink continuously and then was directly sucked into the glass bead. The ghost disappeared without even screaming. The whole process can be said to be very fast.
Only the glass beads that landed on the ground were gently rolling, and after waiting for a long time, they were picked up by Immortal Chuan who finally regained his senses.
At this time, the glass beads were no longer transparent, and if Undead Chuan looked at the moonlight at this time, he could clearly see a miniature ghost locked inside, crying and struggling to knock on the wall of the ball, begging him to let it out, with a panicked expression. At a loss - after all, it was also a human being before it turned into a ghost, how many people can face such an accident?
Undead Chuan held the ball, staring at it with a pair of eyes. After a while, the smile on his face widened and widened. With a face with two thick scars, he was crazy and terrifying.
Compared with the face of a villain like Feng Zhu, the other Zhu who have done the same experiment have different expressions, but their moods are similar.
Your lord has really found a very powerful ally!
It can be done, this time it will definitely work!
They will definitely defeat Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumi!
"Hunting ghosts is definitely no problem, and there is no need to worry about the inventory of experimental subjects. But it will take a long time to defeat that ancestor ghost, right?"
In the research institute, Tou was doing experiments with a dropper and a test tube, listening to the AI's electronic voice reporting how much the number of test subjects sent by the ghost killing team had recently increased, and so on, with a calm expression.
"After all, there is such a place, and with its timid nature that can survive for 1000 years, I'm afraid it will hide deeper."
Well, the proto-ghost doesn't, these substitutes will work too.
Pour the blood in the test tube for the reaction test back into a conical reagent bottle, turn around and leave the test bench, go to the test instrument by the wall, put the bottle on it, and start to operate.
Looking back, there are more and more water tank specimens in the honeycomb-like research institute. There are various ghost organs stored in it. Occasionally, the mutilated head can be seen, and the face or despair can be clearly seen. or a numb look.
And in the depths of the corridor outside the door, the miserable howling of ghosts can be heard from time to time.
In this world without gods and Buddhas, unknowingly, there is a hell exclusively for ghosts.
The Earl's Mansion of the Nagano family is full of joy today, with lights and festoons everywhere.
Oh no, it can no longer be called the Earl, it is now the Marquis's Mansion.
In order to celebrate the promotion, the Marquis Mansion invited nobles and wealthy businessmen to hold a full-day celebration party.
The Marquis Mansion, which was not short of money for a long time, was built magnificently, and the newly decorated banquet hall was full of rich clothes and officials.
Mrs. Ritsuko's body has already recovered. At this time, she is full of joy and responds to the congratulations from the guests. She is the host of this party, and naturally many people flock to compliment her.
Although it is the host, everyone knows that the protagonist is not her, but her adopted daughter.That one is the real soul of the Nagano family.
After congratulating Mrs. Ritsu on the face, the nobles walked to a corner of the hall, enjoying the imported food and wine here, and they couldn't help feeling sour.
Who would have thought?Who can think of it?What would happen to the adopted daughter whom they had all neglected a year ago?
At that time, they still laughed at Mrs. Ritsuko for being stupid. It was crazy to spend all their savings just to introduce them to adopting an adopted daughter, and to hand over all the rights to an outsider.Now it seems that they are the ones who are stupid!
In just one year, the Nagano family has not only doubled their assets, but also increased their titles. This adopted daughter is even more powerful in the political arena. Especially recently, she has won a large sum of money from somewhere. The investment has made the achievements of the government extremely beautiful, and the nobles are both shocked and jealous.He only wished he could go back a year ago and snatch this girl over, and then announce that her family was the one who adopted her.
But no matter how much you hate in your heart, it's useless. At this time, they can only put on smiling faces and forcefully squeeze past.There is no way to become the Nagano family, but it is always possible to become a confidant of the Nagano family and drink soup like those families who followed Tong Xingtou first, right?
Seeing those families follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven with bulging pockets, the neutral nobles who had long been frightened by poverty could no longer bear it, and made up their minds to hug their thighs this time.
The high-ranking nobles at this stage, including those daimyo Chinese, are not as rich and generous as the Nagano family.In terms of individual family power, the Nagano family is not comparable to those big-name nobles, but it is surrounded by many middle and low-level nobles, forming an absolute interest group with the Nagano family as the core.In addition, the head of the Nagano family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you dare to touch her, you will be cut off with a hand. Those families who are capable of dealing with it are very afraid and dare not make a move easily.
When these families were afraid and hesitant, the Nagano family had fully grown up, and anyone who wanted to attack it now had to be prepared to lose both sides or even be swallowed up.When the opponent is so strong and is still rising rapidly, even the thoughtful family will shrink temporarily, watching the Nagano family grow bigger and bigger.
"Master Marquis is here!"
At the venue, someone yelled, and the already noisy scene seemed to boil like hot oil dripping with water.
"Master Marquis!" "Master Marquis, Gui'an!" "Master Tou, you are so beautiful today!"
A large group of aristocrats who were all older than the girl came around, smiling enthusiastically, flattering the little girl without any shame, moving with the girl like stars.
The girl was wearing an ice-blue court dress, her long hair was tied up with a pearl crown, and she remained expressionless in the face of the swarming crowd.Probably because of her high position and power, although many people wanted to get close to her, subconsciously, no one dared to come within one meter of her.
She calmly talked to the nobles, broke up the encirclement with a few words, and the party began to proceed normally.
This also made some neutral nobles who were still hesitating make up their minds, and joined hands with several other family leaders who had already discussed in advance to find them, with a rather desperate expression on their faces.
"Have you thought it through?" As if knowing what these people came here for, the young Marquis went straight to the point, "If you really decide to help me, you won't be able to go back on your word later."
Thinking of the Nagano family's neat way of dealing with traitors before, the patriarchs of the several families also changed their faces, but quickly nodded firmly: "We have thought it through! Lord Marquis... No, Lord Tongxing, I am willing to help you!"
Originally, benefits and risks coexist, and Nagano's Tongtong is the most cost-effective among them. They are already driving at night. If they don't take a gamble at this time, they will have no chance to turn around and make a fortune in the future.
They all knew that being promoted to the rank of an official at this time was never the end of this girl's goal, it was just a foreshadowing for that big event.
For the future, the position of prime minister.
