As a Ninja, I Just Want to Eat Soft Rice in Xingyue Chapter 162

That side... the magic side... Tohno Akiha immediately understood Higashino Kou's meaning. She glanced at Tohno Shiki who was sitting upright, shook her head and said:

"Please tell me, there is no one here to avoid."

"Since the matter is more urgent, I will make a long story short."

Higashino put one hand on his chin, organized his words and asked:

"I wonder how much Ms. Tono knows about the Dead Apostles?"

"Dead Apostles?"

Tono Akiba frowned slightly, as if hearing something bad, paused for a moment and said:

"I know the concept of common sense. My Tono family, as a member of the Tuemon family, has been fighting non-human creatures since ancient times. What do you want to say?"

"Dead disciples have appeared in Sansaki Town. There are a lot of them, and a big person is involved." Higashino said with a serious face.

Everyone present except Higashino Kano and Alquite were stunned for a moment. Tohno Akiba first showed doubts, and then thought that a "big man" like Higashino Kano didn't have to lie to her, the patriarch of a small family. After reading the news for a few days, Tono Akiha showed a dazed look.

"No wonder there are so many disappearance cases in the city recently. It turns out that there are dead disciples who committed crimes. These damned creatures should all go to hell!"

Tono Akiba slammed the teacup onto the ceramic floor with a slap, her eyes closed, and anger was brewing in the silence.

As the person in charge of the spiritual veins of Misaki Town, the Tono family has the responsibility to kill the inhuman creatures in the territory, protect ordinary people, and ensure that the mystery will not be exposed.

And a group of dead disciples cannibalize people at will on the territory of the Tono family, this is a slap in the face of the Tono family!

Chapter 306 302. Nero Attacks

Tohno Akiba quickly calmed down, looking at Higashino Kou with a more friendly look.

"Thank you for bringing us the news about the Dead Apostles. Our Tohno family will handle this matter well and wipe out all the Dead Apostles who are still in the city." Tono Akiba pressed his chest with one hand and promised.

Higashino shook his head, took a sip of black tea and said slowly:

"The purpose of my visit to you is not just to let you deal with the dead disciples in the jurisdiction. To put it simply, I need your assistance."

"Assist?" Tono Akiba stared, instinctively aware of the danger of the matter.

"Does Ms. Tono know about the Twenty Seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles?" Dong Yezou asked.

"I've read the information about the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples in the book, could it be!"

Tohno Akiba stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief, her hand supporting the table trembled slightly.

"That's right, the Dead Apostle who caused chaos in Misaki Town this time is one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostle, the "Snake of Akasha" Roja." Higashino Kou nodded calmly, which matched the shock of Tono Akiba sharp contrast.

What is the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles... Tohno Shiki looked at his shocked sister, feeling very confused.

"Another cup of black tea, please."

Higashino Kou handed the cup to the maid who was closest to him. The maid didn't seem to hear it, she looked like she was thinking, and her face was a little heavy.

"Amber! Refill the guests' tea."

As the master, Tohno Akiha saw that the maid did not respond, and raised her volume to remind her.

Only then did the maid named Amber come to her senses, bowed and apologized and said:

"I'm very sorry, because I saw the introduction of the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples in the master's collection before, so I was frightened."

Being frightened, those eyes don't look like being frightened... Higashino Sou, who has strong insight, keenly sensed the abnormality of Amber, but did not speak, but acted as if nothing had happened.

In Higashino Zuo's view, this maid might be hiding some secret, but Higashino Zuo didn't know her purpose, and also had no evidence, so he had to raise his vigilance against her in his heart.

Kohaku added tea to Higashino Kou, and Tono Akiha thought about it for a while, then said hesitantly:

"If the "Snake of Akasha" is really causing trouble, then this is beyond what the Tono family can handle. You said you came here for help, right?"

"That's right." Higashino nodded slightly, "I need you to cooperate with me. You are responsible for searching for the hidden dead in Misaki Town. I will kill them, including "Akasha Snake" Roja."

"you……"

Tono Akiha looked suspiciously. She thought that Higashino Kou was about the same age as her, and wondered in her heart whether Higashino Kou had the strength to fight against the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples.

But after thinking about it, Dong Yezuo came from the Liangyi family that had exaggeratedly risen in recent years, and was the fiancé of the head of the Liangyi family, so he must have extraordinary skills, so he swallowed his doubts.

"I see, how can we cooperate with you?"

Tohno Akiha put her hands together on the table, and turned her thumbs nervously.

"It's very simple. The time for us to act is night."

"During the day, you mobilize your family's power to search for possible reincarnations of the Dead Apostles and Roja, and report the target's location to me. I will kill the Dead Apostles when night comes."

"That's no problem, I will mobilize all the members of the branch to search for it. As for Roja's reincarnation body, Misaki Town has a large population, so if you search blindly, the success rate is very low. You have the characteristics of Roja's reincarnation body, which is convenient for us to find ?"

Tono Akiha, who has systematically studied magic knowledge, still knows about Roja's reincarnation.

"Airquette."

Higashino looked at Alquite who was sitting quietly. No one could understand the characteristics of Roja's reincarnation better than this true ancestor who had hunted and killed Roja for hundreds of years.

"Every time Roja reincarnates, he usually chooses someone whose family is very influential in the local area and has special abilities as the host, because this will make it easier for Roja to recover his strength as soon as possible and control the local area." Airquet recalled.

He has influence in the local area and has special abilities... Higashino Kou subconsciously looked at the two Tono brothers and sisters, and gently shook the teacup.

"Are you doubting me?"

Sensing Higashino Kou's eyes locked on her, Tohno Akiba frowned and showed displeasure, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"No, no, I believe that Ms. Tono is not one of those damned dead disciples, but out of prudence and to clear Ms. Tono's suspicion, let's make a confession."

Higashino shook his head and smiled kindly, his handsome appearance made people feel uneasy.

"Yes, neither me nor my brother will be Roja's reincarnation. What do you think, brother?"

Tohno Akiha looked at Tohno Shiki, hoping to get his support, but found that Tohno Shiki's body was shaking. It was obviously not hot, but his face was covered with sweat, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell again?" Tohno Akiha reached out to support the trembling Tohno Shiki, and asked with concern on his face.

"Ah! Qiu, Qiuye, I seem to be suffering from anemia again. I'm sorry, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Tohno Shiki raised his head in shock, showing a forced smile. Then, without waiting for Tohno Akiba to say anything, she got up alone, and hurriedly left the living room.

"elder brother……"

Tohno Akiba looked at Tohno Shiki's leaving back, holding his hands together uneasy, with a sad face.

"Jade, go and take care of your brother."

Tono Akiba winked at the maid Jade.

"As ordered."

Jade saluted, then hurriedly left the room.

Tohno Akiba sat back on the stool with a feeling of uneasiness, and smiled reluctantly:

"I'm laughing at you. My brother has been in poor health since he was a child. After seeing many doctors, he can't be cured. He often passes out for no reason."

Airquite's red eyes examined Tono Akiba, and after a while, Airquite approached Higashino Kanao and said:

"The man who killed me once is very suspicious, and I can feel a trace of Roja's breath in him. Could he be the host of Roja's life?"

"No." Dong Yezao replied in the affirmative.

Although Higashino Zuo has almost forgotten the plot of "Yue Ji", but if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the hero is definitely not the villain boss behind the scenes, at most there is some connection.

"Let's rule out your suspicions first. Dead Apostle activities are usually at night. If Roja doesn't want to expose himself, he should also act in the dead of night. Where are you these nights?" Higashino asked.

"I've been at home resting at night all week, and Amber can testify."

As soon as Tono Akiba finished speaking confidently, her expression became tangled again, because the maid's confession was not evidence at all, and she, as the master, could naturally collude.

Higashino Zuo naturally knew that the confession of acquaintances was not considered evidence, but he had other considerations, so he didn't point out this point, but said something lightly.

"I trust you."

Tohno Akiba breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, she felt relieved to be able to get the support of outsiders at this time.

"Then that man is your brother!"

Alquette asked a question, from her dissatisfied expression, it can be seen that she still has a lot of opinions on Tohno Shiki.

Amber leaned close to Tono Akiba's ear and whispered:

"Miss, Master Zhigui has been coming back late these days, and he stayed away all night the day before yesterday."

"……I know."

Tohno Akiha said calmly and gracefully:

"Brother, he has been at home these few nights and has never gone out. He cannot be Roja's reincarnation."

"You're lying... woo woo..."

Alquite was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He was about to refute, but Higashino Kanade covered his mouth.

"Quiet, we'll talk about it when we go back." Higashino Kou leaned over to Airquitt's ear and blew hot air.

Alquite's ears turned red, she looked at Higashino Kano with aggrieved face, Lala Higashino Kano complained in a low voice:

"That man named Tohno Shiki hacked me to death the night before, and they are protecting him."

"I know, dear, I'll explain the reason to you when I get back."

Higashino Kanade stretched out his hand to caress Alquite's hair, and under Higashino Kanata's comfort, Alquite sat down quietly.

Higashino Kou took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Tono Akiba and said:

"This is my contact information. We will act together at night. Just use this to contact me when the time comes. If there is any emergency, please contact me in time."

Tohno Akiha took the business card and glanced at it, and found that besides Higashino Kanou's name and phone number, the reverse side of the business card also had the word Jiraiya written on it, like a name.

"Okay." Tono Akiba agreed.

The entrusted matter has been entrusted, Higashino Kou plans to leave.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

At this moment, rhythmic knocking sounds came from outside the window.

Everyone heard the sound and looked, and found a huge crow was cutting the closed glass with its beak, and it was carrying a small man-made burden on the crow.

"Where's the crow? I'll chase it away."

Amber tilted her head in doubt, and stepped forward to drive the crow away.

"Wait a minute, this crow is my familiar."

Dong Yezao hurried forward, came to the window before Amber, and opened the window.

"Yeah——"

The crow made a hoarse cry, lowered its head and took away the contents of the small bag, and then exploded into a cloud of white smoke and dissipated.

Higashino took out ten black keys, a photo, and a note from the small bag.

Higashino Kou opened the photo first, and it showed a tall, burly man in his prime.

The man has a gray-black cropped head, a resolute and cold face, full of contoured features, a black windbreaker and his strong figure are very oppressive.

On the back of the photo, there are handwritten words.

"Nero Chaos." Higashino murmured out the name of the person in the photo, and then took a look at the note.

According to the news from friends in the church, Nero Chaos arrived in Misaki town last night, brother Higashino please be careful.

—— Kallen

What happened last night, I just got the news now, can't you just text me about this kind of thing... Dong Yezao covered his headache and had nothing to say to this group of antiques who don't know how to use modern technology.

Higashino picked up a black key and poured his own magic power into it, and a sharp blade made of magic power grew out instantly, reflecting the chilly light under the sunlight.

It's the real thing... Higashinozuo nodded in satisfaction, put away all ten black keys, and planned to call Karen for the reward in a while.

Higashino turned around and looked at the crowd, hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile:

"There is bad news, our enemy is more than one twenty-seven ancestors of dead disciples."

"What!?"
