Chapter 198 The Fallen Cult (Two in One)

"..." Chanyuan Zhang looked at Su Wu first.

Doesn't it matter if this person is here? Gojo Haru said that this is a descendant of the Gojo family, but...

Zenin Akira had basically met all the members of the Gojo family in Kyoto, and there was no one named Gojo Kiri at all.

That means he came from outside Kyoto. Can such a junior... be trusted?

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu is trustworthy." Gojo Haru said with a smile, not knowing where his trust came from.

Or maybe... it's his own confidence in his strength.

"...About the curse masters, they teamed up with the curse spirits to establish a church..." Zenyuan Akira explained.

"Fallen Heaven Sect?" Wu Jiaoqing immediately remembered the name of that sect.

Fallen to heaven? The tone is quite loud.

Su Wu became interested and sat upright.

"A conjurer from the Zen Yuan family discovered their stronghold when he was out on a mission, but..." Zen Yuan Akira frowned at this.

"When it was discovered, all the people inside had been killed."

"It was like it was cut into several parts at the same time." Zenyuan Akira recalled the scene he saw and whispered, "There are even traces of being eaten."

Some of the corpses at the scene looked as if they had been gnawed by wild beasts, and the bones were even chewed into pieces by unknown things.

The result deduced from the tooth marks is... a person.

"Hey..." Su Wu sat up straighter. "Then what?" He asked curiously.

"The Fallen Heaven Sect was directly destroyed. There is nothing more to do." Chanyuan Akira said in a cold tone, "It's just that the Chanyuan family is hesitant to investigate who caused the tragedy."

The first crime scene was discovered by the Zenyuan family. Since the dead were all curse masters and not ordinary people, they did not report it to the emperor.

Matters between the conjurer and the curser are left to be resolved by themselves.

As long as it does not involve ordinary people in Kyoto, there is no need to report it. This is their prerogative.

"What kind of existence is the Fallen Heaven Sect?" Su Wu asked his curious question.

I heard the two of them talking about falling to heaven and falling to heaven, but Su Wu never felt anything because he had never heard of this teaching at all.

It just sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere.

But the word "fallen to the sky" is not a niche word in the first place. It is very popular in middle school novels, so it is not surprising to hear it.

"It is a very religious cult. They believe in Susano'o. They have a large number of people and were very active for a period of time." Gojo Haru explained.

"Susano'o..." Su Wu nodded in sudden realization.

He knew this, Amaterasu Tsukiyomi Susano'o, known as Mikiko, was the son of the Japanese gods, Izanami and Izanagi.

But the fact that a conjurer actually believes in God... is quite surprising.

It may also be that the magicians are too weak.

Su Wu had no faith. After all, who would believe in something that could be killed by him?

"Then you're here to discuss what to do with the Gojo family?" Su Wu looked at Chanyuan Akira again.

The other person definitely didn't come here just to chat with them. He probably felt that this matter was a bit tricky and he needed to find someone to take it on with him.

So the Gojo family, where Gojo Haru was present, was chosen.

"...please spare me." Gojo Haru leaned back, "I don't want to get involved in these matters."

Unlike Gojo Satoru, who has a heavy sense of responsibility in the future and has a 007 work system, Gojo Haru is only willing to be a hands-off shopkeeper, carrying the title of head of the family, being the sea-suppressing needle, and not caring about anything else.

"...We are worried that a terrible monster has been born in the Fallen Heaven Sect." Zenyuan Akira expressed his worries.

Those who died were all those who had magical powers and were not weak in strength, and they died at the same time and in the same place.

Can you not worry about something unexpected happening?

"It's useless to worry now. I can't find it anyway..." Su Wu yawned. "If a monster is really born, there is no need to look for it, right?"

"Just like famous monsters will do big things to make them more famous."

You can just wait for them to show up on their own, why bother looking after others?

"Kiri-kun is right." Gojo Haru nodded in agreement.

"..." Zenyuan Akira frowned.

In this case, he said no more.

Those in the Zenyuan family were unwilling to move, for fear of having other tasks, so they pushed him to find Gojo Haru, trying to pass the matter on to the Gojo family.

Instead of wasting time looking for someone, most spellcasters are more accustomed to rushing to kill the cursed spirit after receiving the mission location.

"Ah, by the way, why don't you go talk to the Kamo family?" Su Wu looked at Zenyuan Akira.

Why do you come to the Gojo family whenever something happens? Isn't the Kamo family one of the three imperial families?

It seems that this family's presence... has never been very high.

"Kamo... of their generation, the heir who awakened to the red blood art is only two years old." Zenin Akira said in a suspicious tone.

The strength of others... is not that good.

Generally speaking, because of the existence of Gojo Haru, the Gojo family is unparalleled in strength and is the best partner.

"...Ah..." Su Wu hesitated.

Two years old...what can I do? Even if you are the head of the family, you can't talk to people about serious things.

The heirs of the Gosan family's generation actually fell behind on the Kamo family's side.

That's okay.

"What were you talking about before?" Zen Yuan Akira changed the topic.

He still remembered that when he arrived, the two seemed to be talking about the Ten Shadows?

"We are talking about the recent excitement in Kyoto - the Painted Skin Ghost." Gojo Haru smiled, speaking naturally.

"Painted Skin... Oh, that female ghost!" Zenin Akira thought for a moment and remembered.

He had also paid attention to it, but later found out that it was under the control of the Onmyoji, so he stopped paying attention to it.

"Hearing what you said, the Onmyoji hasn't been dealt with yet?" Zenin Akira's tone was cold and full of ridicule.

"It is said that they are still looking for their traces." Gojo Haru smiled with his eyes curved.

"What a waste." Zenin Akira looked down on him.

Onmyoji and sorcerers seem to be born to be incompatible.

"Master, Master Akimoto is here to visit." A maid moved her steps and reported with a lowered eyebrow.

"Akimoto? Bring him over." Gojo Haru sat up.

"Isn't this..." Zenin Akira seemed to have thought of something, and his face was dark.

The maid received Gojo Haru's order and left to lead the way.

Five minutes later, a figure wearing a white hunting robe and a black hat came behind the maid.

This outfit is a typical and common Japanese noble male outfit in anime.

He looks ordinary, ordinary middle-aged.

He seems to be from a different world from Gojo Haru and Zenin Akira who have beauty filters.

Of course, Su Wu is at the same level as these two who have beauty filters.

"Sir, you have to help us." The ordinary middle-aged man came to Gojo Haru and said on the spot.

"... I knew it." Zenin Akira sneered.

Because Gojo Haru was born with six eyes, basically nothing can be hidden from his eyes, so... from childhood to adulthood, this guy is often borrowed by various parties.

"You find yourself useless and come to ask for help." Zenin Akira said sarcastically.

"This is the order from the emperor, asking Sir Haru to assist us and solve the Painted Skin Ghost incident as soon as possible." Akimoto was not guilty at all, and spoke with a very iron head.

"The emperor's order, there is nothing we can do..." Gojo Haru stood up with a smile.

"Mist, do you want to go with me?" He turned sideways and asked the young man.

"Of course." Su Wu stood up and answered without hesitation.

This is... the plan he had written for himself early in the morning.

Zenin Akira thought about it and simply stood up.

Akimoto cast one look after another at Su Wu, who was born opposite him, but looking at the white hair, white eyebrows and white eyelashes, he still didn't say anything.

That attitude was as if he regarded Su Wu as Gojo Haru's illegitimate child.

Wait... the two of them are of the same age... it seems that it is really possible.

If Gojo Haru got married earlier, he would indeed have a son as old as Su Wu.

"It's here, where the breath of the ghost disappeared last. Once you get here, you can no longer sense it." Akimoto took them to a place.

In short, it is located at the junction of the civilian area and the noble area.

But all the dead are young and beautiful noble women.

"... I suspect..." Akimoto hesitated.

"What are you going to do?" Gojo Haru didn't ask what he suspected, but just asked this question.

To be honest, everyone present knew what the other party was suspecting.

It was nothing more than suspecting that the Painted Skin Ghost was hiding in the noble mansion.

The noble mansions were usually protected by barriers, so it was normal not to sense the breath of the demon.

But when it came to the nobles, especially when it was unclear which noble it was, one had to be more careful about the degree.

"This... ask in private first?" Akimoto said carefully.

He was a civilian Onmyoji with no background, but his strength was okay, so the matter of the Painted Skin Ghost was passed on by those Onmyojis with backgrounds, and finally fell on him.

It was not easy to become an Onmyoji from a civilian, and even though his status in the Onmyoji was still not high, he never thought of losing his identity as an Onmyoji.

"What do you think, Wu Jun?" Gojo Haru did not answer, but just looked at the boy beside him.

"Ask whose family has a beautiful woman recently, and you will know." The white-haired boy smiled and said.

"Since the dead were all beautiful noble women, I guess the Painted Skin Ghost must be very beautiful now." He said so.

He had never seen the demon born because of him.

Akimoto took out a handful of white paper from the sleeve of his hunting robe and cut it into the shape of a butterfly. He put it in front of him and blew a breath. The paper butterfly turned into a real butterfly and flew towards the mansions.

It was similar to throwing beans to make soldiers, except that the paper people were playing here.

"You let the butterflies ask questions for you? They... can't talk, right?" Su Wu recalled the plot of the anime and couldn't help asking.

I remember that the paper man shikigami couldn't talk, even Abe Haruaki's was the same. Could it be that this guy's shikigami is better than Abe Haruaki's?

"... I forgot." Akimoto was stunned for a moment before saying.

"..." Su Wu was speechless for a moment.

"You are really as unreliable as always." Zenyuan Zhang complained, and I don't know if the expression on his face was mocking, or should I say... I hate iron for not being able to make steel?

Akimoto was often bullied by other Onmyojis, and all kinds of troublesome tasks, tasks that others were too lazy to take care of, would be thrown to him.

Because the probability of going on a mission is higher, the probability of encountering a sorcerer when going out is also higher.

Zenin Akira has encountered the other party several times, and Akimoto will encounter some troubles almost every time.

Over time, Zenin Akira's impression of the unreliability of Onmyoji has been engraved into his bones.

"I'd better go to each house to ask..." Akimoto thought for a while and said.

It's really hard for him to decide to do this in the end.

In fact, before Qiu Yuan went door to door to ask if anyone had an extra beauty, someone came to the door on his own initiative.

A middle-aged man in court robes dragged a young man tied with ropes to them.

"Tell me, how did you get to know that monster, and how did you bring that monster home." The middle-aged man kicked the young man on the knee, causing him to sway and almost fall, cursing.

"Xiao Wei is not a monster." The young man blushed and retorted.

"Shut up." The middle-aged man slapped him in the face and scolded.

This slap was hard enough, and the man's temples were swollen, and even red blood was clearly visible.

"Master Ping, you..." Chanyuan Zhang frowned.

He performed this in front of them just to clear his son's relationship with the female ghost.

If you ask, it is because he was deceived by the monster and was not conscious, so he did these things.

This is the style of the current style. Chanyuan Zhang is used to it. He just wants to say - stop pretending, I'm tired of it. You are the xxth person to act like this.

"I just heard from the maid at home today that this kid brought a woman of suspicious identity home two weeks ago and hid in his room. He didn't allow the maid to tip off." The middle-aged man sighed, seeming particularly angry.

"Demons are always good at deceiving people. My youngest son has been simple since he was a child and is easy to be deceived..." He said and gave his son who wanted to refute a fierce warning look.

"Where is Xiao Wei now? Take me there directly." Qiu Yuan asked anxiously.

The workers just want to finish the task quickly and get off work.

"Please follow me." The middle-aged man made a gesture.

Qiu Yuan simply forgot about Gojo Haru and others beside him and followed the man away.

"Is this... just abandoning us without using the six eyes?" Su Wu asked with a blink of an eye.

"Just get used to it." Gojo Haru didn't care.

Most of the time, people noticed him because of the six eyes.

His identity was identified by the unique eyes.

In his mouth, he was not called Gojo Haru.

[The six eyes of the Gojo family] People have always called him that.

He = six eyes = a useful tool.

Even if he became very strong later, the aura of the six eyes was always on his head.

It is normal for the six eyes of the Gojo family to be strong.

After all, he was praised as the person who maintained the balance of time since Abe Haruaki when he was born.

In the Heian period, demons and ghosts were rampant, and cursed spirits were everywhere, and their strength was even greater than that of humans.

Later, with Abe Haruaki, there was a pillar of balance between humans and demons.

But Lord Haruaki is old and will leave the world one day.

So... the birth of Gojo Haru means the continuation of balance.

"I was born to maintain the balance of the world." Gojo Haru said so.

So when he was born, he was given high hopes, and the emperor rewarded him.

Because of those eyes, he was considered to be the descendant of Amaterasu, and was given the title of Son of God.

In short, the symbolic meaning of Gojo Haru is greater than the meaning of his existence.

"Hey..." Su Wu blinked.

This is completely opposite to the statement that Gojo Satoru broke the balance of the world when he was born.

I feel that the statement that he broke the balance is cooler.
