Tokyo, Onmyoji.
This is not the first time Luo Zhen has come to Yin Yang Hall.
However, this time, when Luo Zhen came to the Yin Yang Hall, he was not invited, but arrested.
Now, Luo Zhen is walking in the corridor of Yin Yang Hall, with several healing charms attached to his body, replenishing the lost vitality, so that Luo Zhen can finally stand up and walk around.
only...
(Is my current treatment considered good?)
While Luo Zhen was thinking this, he glanced at his hands.
There, a pair of handcuffs engraved with curses were being worn.
Wearing these handcuffs, Luo Zhen could clearly feel that although the magic power in his body was slowly recovering, he could not mobilize even a trace.
That is to say...
(Is this a charm used to seal spiritual power?)
exactly.
Nowadays, Luo Zhen is treated as the highest-level prisoner. Even the handcuffs he wears are the highest-level magic tools, which block the magic power in his body.
"Sorry, we can't treat you as an ordinary curse criminal. If you recover, it won't be strange no matter what you do, so we can only do this."
Miyaji Panfu said this to Luo Zhen.
"Also, we can't let your shikigami stay with you any longer, so let's make separate arrangements for the time being."
After saying that, Miyaji Banfu asked Zenjiro Kigure and Mari Yumori to take Natsume and Suzuka away respectively, while he himself took the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit and left here.
Now, he doesn't know whether it's because the magic power is sealed or whether Natsume and Suzuka are imprisoned in some barrier. Luo Zhen can feel that the spiritual connection between himself and Natsume and Suzuka has become extremely blurred. Can't confirm anywhere.
(My shikigami contract is like this. If it were another contract method, I'm afraid even the spiritual connection would be severed, right?)
Luo Zhen thought so.
As for the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit...
(It doesn’t matter over there, you can feel it at any time.)
After all, unlike Natsume and Suzuka, Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit have long been turned into pure records, engraved deep into Luo Zhen's soul, and what appears on the outside is just a collection of magic power. Luo Zhen cannot be cut off in any way. If Luo really wanted to connect with them, he could even cancel the summons of the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit and summon them again in front of him.
Of course, once the summons is cancelled, Luo Zhen will have to expend an unimaginable amount of magic power if he wants to continue to summon existences of the same level as the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit. He is afraid that he will have to release the three-stroke command spell again and use the "Red Wing Formation" with all its strength. Only when it is fully opened can it be done.
(They are really two extremely powerful shikigami in every sense of the word.)
Luo Zhen laughed in his heart, then quickly changed his mind and looked around.
At this moment, four curse investigators escorted Luo Zhen and took him to the depths of the Yin and Yang Hall in a meticulous manner, as if they wanted to imprison him.
(So, what to do next?)
Luo Zhen was thinking like this.
Choosing to compromise is actually nothing more than a stopgap measure.
After all, Luo Zhen is too weak now, and he needs to buy some time before he can fully recover.
Then...
(No matter what, I can no longer stay in the Yin Yang Hall.)
Only this is certain.
Because, if Luo Zhen's deduction is correct...
(The Yin Yang Hall is probably not trustworthy.)
Such thoughts came to Luo Zhen's mind.
Just when Luo Zhen was thinking this...
"sorry for disturbance."
Such a voice came from the front.
Luo Zhen was startled for a moment, raised his head and looked forward.
I saw, in front of the corridor, a young man who was dressed like a gentleman and acted as elegantly as a gentleman. He wore one-sided glasses and had a tall and straight posture.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The young man showed an elegant smile to the four curse investigators escorting Luo Zhen and spoke like this.
"Next, just leave this person to me, and you can leave."
The young man's tone was elegant, but the content of his words revealed a coldness and indubitability.
"Who are you... ?"
The four curse search officers stopped one after another and showed surprised expressions.
Obviously, they did not know the young man in front of them, and they had no reason to follow his instructions.
However, the young man seemed to have no intention of listening to the opinions of the four curse investigators present.
"Oops? Didn't you hear clearly?"
The young man raised his head and looked closely at the four curse investigators. He kept smiling while speaking word by word.
"I said just leave this person to me and you can leave."
When the young man repeated these words again, the expressions of the four curse investigators suddenly froze and they became stunned.
the reason is simple.
This time, the young man's words were already filled with curse power, making his voice aggressive and dominating the spirits of the four curse investigators.
Luo Zhen naturally knows this method.
"Yan Ling..."
It is the method of speaking spirit in the imperial style.
Under such circumstances, the four curse investigators stepped back with dull expressions, leaving Luo Zhen alone and slowly left.
Only Luo Zhen was left, looking directly at the young man in front of him.
The young man maintained an elegant posture and saluted Luo Zhen.
"That's really rude. I guess it didn't scare you, right?"
The young man made such a statement somewhat coquettishly.
In this regard, Luo Zhen's tone seemed a bit intriguing.
"It's true that I was a little scared. After all, I didn't expect you to come out at this time."
Luo Zhen said this sincerely.
That tone was as if he had known about the young man's existence for a long time.
This is also true.
Although they haven't actually met each other yet, this is not the first time Luo Zhen and each other have met.
At least Luo Zhen could recognize him.
"You were one of the two shikigami who was with Souma Takiko at that time, right?"
Luo Zhen said this with great certainty.
"exactly."
The young man didn't hide anything. He admitted it unexpectedly and readily, and introduced himself like this while maintaining etiquette.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Yashamaru, one of the princess's shikigami."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"Princess...?"
Luo Zhen weighed the weight and meaning of this title, and at the same time looked at the young man named Yashamaru in front of him.
After looking at it, Luo Zhen immediately saw it.
Yashamaru's body exuded a vague ghostly aura.
In other words...
"Are you a ghost?"
Luo Zhen asked this.
"You are aware of everything." Yashamaru said with a smile that did not diminish: "My current body is indeed a ghost, and my official name is Yase Doji."
"Yase boy?" Luo Zhen was surprised this time. He finally looked at Yashamaru and said, "Are you actually Yase boy?"
Yase Doji.
This does not refer to a specific individual, but the name of a ghost group, and is also the overall name for the ghosts belonging to the group.
These ghosts are not ghost-type spiritual disasters in the traditional sense, but ghosts formed by the souls of the war dead who serve a certain noble bloodline and continue to exist in the form of guardians after death, turning into guardian spirits.
Since the Yashamaru in front of him claims to be Yase Douji, then who is the Souma Takiko who is served by him
Just when Luo Zhen was thinking this, Yashamaru took the initiative to speak.
"I don't mean to offend you by coming here this time, it's just that the princess hopes to see you."
That's what Yashamaru said.
"I wonder if I can reward you with a favor?"
