Chapter 204: Witch (Two in One)

Barrier technique belongs to the ability of Onmyoji, and it is the barrier of conjurer...

"I don't need a barrier." Gojo Haru smiled broadly.

Most of the magicians in the Heian era didn't care whether they would be seen by civilians when they cast spells.

Obviously, the accounts used by later generations of conjurers had not yet been born.

"... Are there any conjurers who are good at enchantment?" Su Wu asked.

"Well... maybe you can try to give an order?" Gojo Haru offered his own opinion.

"As long as you say you are looking for a conjurer who is good at enchantment, someone will definitely come to your door." The man with black cloth around his eyes smiled.

He used white cloth before, but later changed it to black for some unknown reason.

"Ah..." Su Wu suddenly realized, "Yes."

His current status is equivalent to the invisible emperor. The entire Heian Kyoto has been conquered by him. Isn't it easy to find a few people who know the barrier technique?

No matter how little it is, you still have to find it for him.

"Then let all those who are good at enchantment come to me, not just the Yusan family, and not just the conjurers."

Su Wu thought for a while and announced.

He officially moved into the shrine, and Gojo Haru also moved in consciously. Therefore, the Gojo family also arranged for several people to come in to take care of cleaning and taking care of their daily life.

Because Gojo Haru... is a young master who is not good at any housework and is only good at being waited on.

While the members of the Zenyuan family and the Kamo family were behind the scenes, the Gojo family knew how to welcome people, and at the same time they also pushed people into the shrine, including the Fujiwara and Abe families.

They all regarded Su Wu as an invisible murderer, the kind of psychopath who would trigger the killing mechanism without knowing when and go on a killing spree in Ping'an Jing.

As long as Su Wu expresses his thoughts in front of these people, within a day, the Yusan family will get the news and start thinking of countermeasures.

Su Wu knew why these people were sent in, but he didn't care. He kept them just to use them as mouthpieces.

"Okay, you all heard it. Now you can go and spread the news." Su Wu smiled and looked at the people standing on both sides with their heads bowed.

Although these people look like ordinary waiters, they are all magicians or onmyoji.

When cleaning, they don't do it themselves. Instead, they have little paper figures or affixed talisman paper on the broom and let the broom sweep by itself.

Their strength is roughly equivalent to that of a second-level magician.

Compared with the only four super-level magicians mentioned in later generations, it can be said that there were many powerful magicians in the Heian Era.

The first level can walk all over the ground, the second level is not as good as a dog, the third and fourth level can only be used as a handyman, and the number of special levels is nearly three digits.

This refers to the normal special level.

Not special ones like Gojo Satoru and Ryomian Sunuo.

After all, Su Wu also belongs to the special level according to his strength, but when he fights other special levels, he is just like fighting the weakest curse spirit...

In short, those who are pushed in by each family are all second-level strength. First-level and special-level ones are stuffed in. It would be a pity if they are killed, but the second-level ones are not at all.

If you die, you will die.

At this moment, they all bowed their heads in silence when faced with the words spoken by the white-haired boy above.

He even looked like he was waiting to die.

It's easy to die if you try to find out about your master's family and reveal it to others.

Everyone present thought that the white-haired boy said this to warn them.

"Why don't you move?" Su Wu looked at the people below, "Just move if you are told."

"Isn't my attitude obvious? I don't care."

"I don't care who you tell what you hear here."

"Otherwise, I would have killed you all on the first day you were sent here." The white-haired boy jumped off the platform, walked slowly past them, and said to himself.

"Use your role as a megaphone and bring people who are good at barrier techniques to me as soon as possible."

"I don't think you guys want me to go down the mountain to look for it myself, right?" he asked while standing outside.

Then the microphones looked up at the young man one after another, as if they were trying to distinguish whether the other person's words were true or false.

After finding that they couldn't tell the difference, they lowered their heads and exited the room one by one.

As for their method of transmitting sound, it is nothing more than through magic or shikigami.

There is no so-called high technology in the current world, and there are no such things as surveillance, mobile phones, and cameras.

Otherwise, the fight between Su Wu and Gojo Haru would not have been witnessed by many people, and the rumor that he gouged out Gojo Haru's eyes would not have become such a big deal.

In short, their communication methods are quite efficient today.

Three days later, people who claimed to be good at barrier magic came up the mountain one after another.

Some of them were tied up and carried up, looking like they were robbing civilian girls.

But Su Wu was not a robber, and the person who was carried up was not a civilian girl, not even a woman.

"Aren't you willing to come?" Su Wu asked the tied man curiously.

The other party was still struggling desperately on the road, but after being carried through the torii gate, he immediately gave up the struggle in despair.

Even after being untied and freed, he didn't even think about escaping.

"How could it be? I'm just... bad at it." He slowly climbed up from the ground, quietly observing the young man's expression as he climbed.

It was a relief to finally stand up.

This being who preempted the name of the Moon God didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately at the slightest disagreement as rumored.

"...Yeah." Su Wu glanced at the other party's legs with his pale blue eyes without meaning.

Only when he saw those special eyes did the man realize that nothing could escape the gaze of six eyes.

Whether it's illness or whatever.

"I want the best...are you the best?" Su Wu looked around at the people who were sent to him.

There are not many, only twenty or thirty.

There are both onmyoji and onmyoji.

They are all thirty years old and above.

Well, after all, if you specialize in a certain technology, you will get better at it as time goes by.

This group of people doesn't seem to be very good at fighting, and they all have weak bodies. At first glance, they specialize in assisting/researching or something like that.

"In terms of enchantment, we are all veterans of this art." A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties said this.

"I wonder what type of barrier you want to know about, Your Highness?" asked another middle-aged man.

"Let's go to the phantom killing array. It's best to be a large one and last longer. As long as you enter it, you will fall into the phantom array... and die without knowing it." Su Wu touched his chin and spoke.

"Well, a large barrier covers the entire shrine starting from the torii gate. People who step through the torii gate will die because of the barrier, and then their corpses or blood can also become nutrients to maintain the operation of the barrier or formation. ..." He thought he made his request reasonably.

"...Your request..." Everyone present looked at each other.

How to say this request...it's too troublesome.

"Can't do it?" The white-haired boy showed a disappointed expression.

It seems to be saying, if you can't do it, then don't go back.

Thinking of the feats the other party had done before, a group of people gritted their teeth and said with livid faces: "As long as we are given time, of course we can do it."

For a moment, Su Wu felt like he was Party A who asked for colorful black things, while these guys in front of him were Party B who had to bow their heads in order to eat.

"Then keep going." Su Wu encouraged with a smile.

Only then did I have the thought to deal with things on the other side.

"What...are these two?" he asked, pointing to the two little girls.

She is a real little girl, she looks only five or six years old, wearing a classic miko costume with white top and red bottom, fair complexion, and long black hair reaching her waist.

Because he was still young, he had not yet turned into a ghostly figure that Su Wu could not see.

For example, a lead-white face, exaggerated blush, dark eyebrows and teeth.

These two looked like ordinary, pretty little girls, but with a quick glance you could tell they were from noble families.

He is not very lively and reckless, but looks gentle and even a little melancholy.

The five or six-year-old little girl, with her melancholy expression, is quite... something that makes people want to complain.

But when I think about the Heian period, people were considered adults at the age of twelve... It makes sense to be more stable at such a young age.

The two girls pointed at by Su Wu seemed a little nervous, but they still bowed to Su Wu very politely - the kind of kneeling down.

Then he introduced himself generously.

"We are the twins of the Fujiwara family. We are here to serve you on our father's orders." Even the words they said were the same.

"Please give me your name." I don't know who taught them, but they kowtowed and then said.

Su Wu didn't have the habit of naming people casually. He only named pets and his own belongings.

But people are not his pets, and for a kid who is only five or six years old, talking about possessions is really a bit perverted.

"... Just use your original names." Su Wu replied perfunctorily.

"...But the Fujiwara family gave us to you, and we are yours, and we should no longer use the name Fujiwara..." The two girls from the Fujiwara family had clear voices.

Su Wu felt a little headache after hearing this.

Children, women, were a problem for him.

He doesn't like to get along with children very much, and he's not good at getting along with girls.

Of the few experiences he has with women, his mom is the only one, or maybe Nyon can count too?

"Use your original name, or I'll have someone send you back, choose one." Su Wu gave them two choices simply and neatly.

"...We understand, then, let's call me Noriko and her Renzi." The twins said.

Give up Fujiwara's surname and only use his first name.

"...What can you do?" Su Wu asked calmly.

Do they need others to take care of them in turn?

"All the work can be left to us." The girl who called herself Noriko replied meekly, waiting for the response from the person opposite.

"...Then let's do this for now." The white-haired figure said casually, "If you are of no use, let someone send you back."

"Thank you very much." Noriko pulled Renzi and spoke respectfully, her heart finally returning to its original position.

"Great, Noriko, in this case, we will..." Renzi spoke in a low voice with a trembling voice.

"Shh." Noriko covered her sister's mouth, "You can't say it."

No one can tell.

…

"What's going on with the two of them?" Su Wu turned around and asked Ping An Jing's know-it-all Gojo Haru.

He was too lazy to embarrass the little girl, but he couldn't figure out why the Fujiwara family would give him two such young miko.

So I simply made things difficult for Gojo Haru.

"Those two Ji-kuns..." Gojo Haru recalled for a moment while waving his folding fan.

"I remember, they are the cursed twins of the Fujiwara family." He tapped his palm with a folding fan and spoke.

"Twins are an ominous sign. Both of their talents are mediocre. It can even be said that their spiritual power is minimal and they are no different from ordinary people."

"There is only one way to solve the curse of the twins, that is... choose one of the two and let the other die."

"In this way, the talent of the one who survives will improve."

"According to the Fujiwara family's idea, perhaps they plan to raise them until they grow up, and then choose the better one between the two to stay..."

"Of course, it is also possible that they plan to raise them as ordinary people and find a man to marry them off." Gojo Satoru gave his own opinion from the perspective of an observer.

Well... that means getting married at the age of twelve, right? In ancient times...

And about the twins being an ominous sign... Obviously, it is considered a good omen in the flower-growing family.

But in Neon, it is a curse, which is also reflected in many comic plots.

"Although it's okay to let them stay, I still can't figure out why the Fujiwara family sent these two people with mediocre talents to me to be my shrine maidens? Aren't you afraid that I will think they are perfunctory?" Su Wu complained.

"Well... this point... who knows? Maybe they are just taking a gamble." Gojo Haru said with a smile.

"Them?" Su Wu raised his eyebrows and looked at Gojo Haru.

This guy seems to know some inside information...

"I'm afraid you won't be interested if I tell you." Gojo Haru said that the inside information is meaningless.

"But I want to know." Su Wu said.

Whether he is interested or not, it doesn't affect his desire to know the reason.

To be honest, he is a little annoyed that two girls with mediocre talents and young age were sent to him.

"Okay." Gojo Haru looked helpless and began to tell the specific reasons.

Half a month ago, Gojo Haru, the Fujiwara family, and several other families gathered together, which was equivalent to holding a meeting. The meeting place was at the Fujiwara family.

The purpose of the meeting was to find a shrine maiden that suited Su Wu's heart.

Everyone called Gojo Haru over to ask him if he knew Su Wu's preferences.

Gojo Haru had a certain understanding of Su Wu, so he gave people a straightforward suggestion-"Send two little demons, he likes them."

"It should be good-looking." He emphasized at the end.

Su Wu likes good-looking non-humans, and Gojo Haru has already figured it out.

But as soon as his proposal came out, it was rejected by others present.

Send two monsters to the shrine as shrine maidens? Are you crazy? And you want good-looking ones? Good-looking monsters are not that easy to find. The more beautiful and powerful they are, the fewer there are.

It is better to find two beautiful human women.

At this moment, the two princesses of the Fujiwara family appeared in front of everyone.

"We are willing to go to the shrine and serve His Highness the Moon Goddess for life."

The minister of the Fujiwara family disagreed at first. He was indeed worried that sending these two over would be considered perfunctory.

But——

"Please send us over, just as a try, we will do our best to make His Highness like us." The girl knelt on the ground, her forehead against the ground, and said word by word.

"... He will definitely kill you two in a rage when he sees you two." Minister Fujiwara angrily flicked his sleeves.

"Even if we are killed, we will have no regrets." The two girls never looked up from beginning to end, but their tone was very firm.

At that moment, Gojo Haru felt that these two children were a bit interesting.

Perhaps they would be the type that Su Wu could accept.

Because Su Wu is not as inhumane and bloodthirsty as rumored.

So Gojo Haru said to the others present, "Why not let them give it a try? I think Wu Jun will be willing to keep them."

"If they are kept, there will be no need to find other talented miko, right?"
