Chapter 701
Even if he knew that Nikko City in Tochigi Prefecture was hiding secrets, Kaneki didn't go there in the first place, although he could have shown his identity and came openly, but in this way, there would be more unnecessary troubles, such as being highly valued by the official history compilation committee and the four families, or it would inevitably clash with Kusanagi Godo, in short, such and such unnecessary things.
In fact, at the end of the day, he still wants to complete this neon trip without being disturbed.
Early in the morning, Kaneki woke up in his sleep, got up and washed, and then planned to visit the nearby shrines again, the reason why he hadn't visited enough was that he hadn't yet figured out the connection between these shrines and Nikko City, and that wonderful power looked like both spiritual magic and divine power, plausible, and in order to find out what it was, he decided to continue with the unfinished shrine investigation.
As for why they didn't let Fujin and Guni investigate, because they had more important things to do now, and that was to go to Nikko City to see what exactly was in the Toshogu Shrine there, which deserved to be treated so carefully by these people.
Since Kaneki didn't wake up Erica and Ariana, they didn't know that he had already gone out, and was still enjoying a rare leisurely sleep.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Kaneki arrived at a remote shrine called Nanao Shrine.
This shrine may not look like the carved balustrades of Meiji Jingu Shrine from the outside, but the plausible power contained in it is stronger than those ornate shrines.
After crossing the gatehouse, before I reached the entrance of the shrine, I saw a girl dressed in a shrine maiden costume sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground, and her expression was very focused, as if what she was doing was very important, and it was not just casual.
Just like the ancient witches, they coexist with the honor and disgrace of the shrine, even if it is a very small thing, they will carry it out one by one, and these things are like cultivation in their eyes.
The sound of footsteps made the shrine maiden stop her movements, and looked at Kaneki with curiosity and surprise, this was the first time she had seen a visitor come to her shrine in recent times, she put the broom aside, and bowed gently and slightly, weak and spiritual, "Is this gentleman here to visit the shrine?" ”
Hearing the shrine maiden's inquiry, Kaneki waved his hand, "I just took a casual look, and occasionally I found that there was a shrine here, so I came here." ”
"Well, feel free to browse, but please don't touch anything in the shrine." It's not a visit, but it doesn't give up due politeness because of this, and the girl's every move is like a spring breeze.
Kaneki smiled and nodded, and immediately took a tour of the Seven Heroes Shrine on his own.
It's ordinary, and it doesn't look any different, except that the plausible power is a little thick.
Just as Kaneki shook his head and was about to leave, a badge engraved in the shape of an ape attracted his attention next to the statue of Musashino, and he couldn't help but take a few steps forward to observe carefully, and at the same time feel the extremely weak but real power emanating from this badge through perception.
That's right, it's the breath of the god of disobedience!
An inconspicuous shrine is actually enshrined with something contaminated with the breath of the god of disobedience, and Kaneki's face has a meaningful expression.
"This guest, please don't touch this thing!" The shrine maiden's panicked voice sounded behind him, and the hurried footsteps stopped in front of him after passing Kaneki, and the nervousness on her face could not be hidden.
Seeing this scene, Kaneki was sure that the witch should know what this thing was, and a playful expression appeared on his face, "I know that this is a dangerous thing, but I still want to enshrine it in the shrine, should I say that I am ready to meet danger at any time?" ”
Hearing this, the witch was stunned, and at this moment she looked at Jin Mu carefully, and after a few seconds, her face showed a look of shock, and she fell to the ground in Jin Mu's surprised eyes, her body trembled slightly, and said, "Please also ask the Demon King not to touch this thing, if you want to be satisfied with the desire to destroy, please vent it on me alone, no matter how you play with and ravage me, I am willing to listen to it." But please leave this city alone! ”
"Hey, hey, aren't... Got something wrong? Kaneki was stunned, why was the painting style suddenly wrong? It looks like he's the Great Demon King who wants to destroy the world. However, what made him wonder was how she could tell that she was a god killer even though she hadn't shown any peculiarities.
"You can't make a mistake! Because my ability is a pair of spiritual eyes to interpret the secrets of the world, in the past, I once had a relationship with the Marquis of Warban, who existed like you, so for the godslayer... I can't be wrong about the incarnation of the Rakshasa King! ”
Kaneki suddenly realized that this witch had seen the Marquis of Woban, so it could be explained by recognizing herself, but at this moment, a wry smile appeared on his face, but he didn't expect that the disguise that no one could see was seen through by the witch in front of him, and the exposure of his identity would be accompanied by countless troubles, so he just listened to him, "What's your name?" ”
"Yuri Wanli Valley."
"So, Wanli Valley, there is something about me, I hope you don't tell anything, in return, I agreed to your previous request, what do you think of this exchange?"
Hearing Kaneki's words, Wanli Gu Yuri raised his head in disbelief, "This... Is this true? No... I mean, it's so easy for you to..."
"Of course, I'm a good man." Kaneki smiled faintly.
After receiving the assurance, Wanli Gu Yuli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and slowly got up from the ground.
"Do you know where this badge came from?"
Hearing Kaneki's inquiry, Yuri Wanriya didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, "Since I inherited this shrine, this badge engraved with an ape has existed, and according to the records left by the previous shrine maiden, she called this badge ominous, evil, and an existence that needs to be purified. As for its origin..."
Speaking of this, she hesitated a little, but when she thought of Kaneki's identity, even if she concealed it, it was probably useless, so she smiled bitterly, "It was delivered by an organization called the Formal History Compilation Committee." ”
Kaneki nodded, so if you want to know these secrets, the best way is to contact the official history compilation committee and the four families, but if you contact the other party, you will have to reveal your identity in advance.
Just when Kaneki was in thought, and Yuri Wanri was standing respectfully beside him, a figure walked into the shrine, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When Wanli Gu Yuri saw this person, his face couldn't help but change, and he subconsciously glanced at Jin Mu, who was in thought, and immediately greeted the person, "Why is Mr. Gansu here?" ”
Kaneki came back to his senses and saw the gentleman in Yuri Ori's mouth, but he didn't speak, because the atmosphere was delicate now.
Mr. Gansu, that is, Gansu Dongma, the agent of the official history compilation committee, the previous scene, he was not mistaken, Wanli Gu Yuli showed great respect for this person, but in his memory, there was no such person in any organization of Neon, but he still had this person, and he did not show a trace of curiosity about Jin Mu, but greeted Wanli Gu very naturally, "Miss Wanli Valley, I have come to bother you again." ”
"Please don't say that, thank you for taking care of you all these years."
Kaneki, as an outsider, did not intervene in the conversation between the two people, acting like an ordinary tourist, and left the shrine after the tour.
Ganji Dongma looked deeply at the back of Jin Mu leaving, and after confirming that he was gone, he asked, "Miss Wanli Valley, who is that gentleman just now?" ”
Hearing Ganji Dongma's inquiry, Wanli Gu Yuri's face couldn't help but show a wry smile, you must know that she promised the adult just now, if she backtracked now, I really don't know what terrible things will happen in the future. Yes, I only heard her whisper, "Mr. Gansu, if you ask me about other things, I won't hide it, but this is the only thing, I'm sorry, I can't tell you." ”
Seeing that Wanli Gu Yuli was resolute, it was not easy for Ganji Dongma to force anything, you must know that he came to ask the other party this time, as for who Jin Mu was, he went to check it in private, "Okay, Miss Wanli Gu, I won't force you." But I'm here today, and I do need your help..."
In fact, Ganji Dongma didn't know that even if people left, they could still 'see' and 'hear', including his expressions, including the words he said to Wanli Gu.
Kaneki couldn't stop laughing at the moment, he didn't expect the official history compilation committee to use the beauty trick, did he think that sending a witch could control Kusanagi Godo? But in fact, if you think about it, it seems that this is really possible. You must know that this kid Kusanagi Godo can't help but be very simple, and his ears are still soft, to put it bluntly, he is an innocent dick, and there is no city government in his chest, and the possibility of being used is extremely great. If there is someone around him to help him give advice, it is fine, if not, then it can only be said that he is afraid that he will be sold and will not know it, and he will help people count the money.
However, Kaneki doesn't plan to meddle in this matter, but is happy to see it come to fruition, after all, if Yuri Wanriya and Kusanagi Godo are on the line, then the 'time bomb' in the Seven Heroes Shrine may not be able to reveal the secret.
You know, he's curious about it.
Towards noon, Kaneki returned to the hotel with some snacks, and it happened that Erica and Ariana also got up.
Erica was very happy that Kaneki bought snacks so considerately, but Ariana was a little unhappy, you must know that she is a maid, and her profession is responsible for taking care of the master's daily life and food, so she naturally has a good cooking skill, but so far, her role has hardly been played, except for the occasional trip that requires her to drive.
Seeing that Ariana looked aggrieved and about to cry, Kaneki couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the things I bought back are not tasty? ”
Hearing this, Ariana hurriedly waved her hand, "Of course not, the things Your Highness bought back are delicious, but..."
Speaking of this, she looked lost, "It's just that I don't think I can help you and Miss because I don't have much effect." ”
"What's the solution, who told you that you don't have any magic and spiritual power, even if you want to teach you." Erica shrugged, she had tried to train Ariana before, but had given up since she found out that she had zero talent, otherwise, how could she give up a potential assistant and not train to help her?
But God is always fair, and even when a door is closed, a window is opened. Kaneki thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Since you can't learn magic and spells without magic and spiritual power, why don't you try to learn martial arts?" Even if the talent is not high, but martial arts pay attention to the kung fu of dripping water and stones, relying on unremitting efforts, I think Ariana should not lack perseverance, right? ”
Erica couldn't help but be annoyed when she heard this, "yes, why didn't I think of that? It's also a dead end, and I didn't realize that this world is not only about this magic and spiritual power cultivation method. ”
Hearing this, Ariana couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope on her face, it was impossible to say that she didn't care about this matter at all these years, after all, in the world, what she saw was not ordinary people, but she didn't know it at all, how could others experience it? If there is a way to make herself stronger, she wants to try it anyway, "Please, Your Highness, this thing..."
Jin Mu waved his hand indifferently, "It just so happens that I also know some martial arts things, you can try to see if you can practice..."
Saying that, he handed over to her the method of cultivating Dou Qi in a thousand worlds, although he didn't know if the cultivation system of different worlds could adapt, and without the assistance of Magata, Ariana could go further, but it was worth trying.
After getting the cultivation method of Douqi, Ariana couldn't wait to return to her room, and her urgency was also understood by Erica and Kaneki, after all, this kind of thing would be the first time anyone could not help but try it, if it really succeeded, then there was no doubt that it would be a long-cherished wish for many years.
"Thank you, Your Highness..."Erica sincerely expressed her gratitude to Kaneki, although she and Ariana are nominally masters and servants, but in private they are like sisters, after all, they have lived together since childhood, even a stone will have feelings, let alone people.
For Erica's thanks, Kaneki waved his hand, "It's all said, don't call me Your Highness in private, and no matter how you say that Ariana is also my subordinate, it is a matter of course to help her." ”
Erica understood, because Ariana was her maid, and she served him, so it was for her sake. Thinking of this, she turned red and was a little shy, but finally plucked up the courage to kiss Kaneki on the face.
Jin Mu looked stunned, this is a forced kiss, right? Even if you don't want to be polite, don't be too polite, right?
