The Magic Execution Office also overcame its initial awkwardness and redeemed its reputation for poor performance in the early stages with several successful exorcism and exorcism missions.
It wasn't as dire as the Ministry of Defense's Countermeasures Office, but the Ministry of Defense wasn't giving up either. Now, it has begun preparations for a new organization, intending to get a share of the pie in the field of supernatural disasters.
After all, only by doing things can one share in the relevant rights and benefits.
"Unfortunately, there is still no news about Teacher Qiu and Teacher Gengzhi."
As the director, the noble Fenglan subconsciously sighed, which instantly stunned Hongdou, who was originally in high spirits, and Chunlian's expression also stiffened, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.
Fortunately, the others didn't think much of it, assuming that the two of them were just like everyone else, feeling sad for the two teachers who had been kidnapped. Besides, Hongdou and Chunlian had almost been kidnapped before, so they were probably still a little shaken.
The evil monsters they had just defeated had also dissipated, leaving behind only some fragments with strange energy, which were exactly what the authorities wanted to collect.
After the collection is complete, professional occult researchers will study and manufacture more equipment or magical artifacts.
On a building not far from the Magic Execution Office, where they exterminate strange beings, a mature and beautiful woman wearing glasses watched with great interest the vibrant young girls.
In particular, the only one among them... a flat-chested girl, named Himegami Korei.
However, besides that girl Himegami Kodama, Lord Wang Jian has another target: a vampire who possesses the attributes of immortality and eternal life.
But... can a carefree vagrant and three not-so-famous weird hunters really cripple that weird assassin who is renowned in the underworld?
The mature woman named Oshima Masayuki was somewhat incredulous, but she dared not question Lord Wang Jian's decision. However... Tokyo seemed to be rife with undercurrents lately.
As Lord Wang Jian's secretary and assistant, Oshima Masaru could clearly sense that it wasn't just a powerful organization plotting something; it had even begun to influence Lord Wang Jian's plans.
This made Oshima Masaru, who greatly admired Lord Wang Jian, wish he could get rid of all those scoundrels who didn't know the times and only hindered Lord Wang Jian.
"Hmph, that guy Gu Da Chi Ye only knows how to brag about how powerful he is. In the end, he was beaten back in a sorry state by a bull demon. Not only did he lose two members, but he even wanted Lord Wang Jian to send people to help them. He can't distinguish between master and servant. He's simply clueless."
After muttering to herself, Oshima Masashi helped the spectacled monkey and prepared to leave. She rarely went out, but this time it wasn't a combat mission; instead, she was there to make connections for the foreign vampire hunters.
This was also within her area of expertise. However, after completing the mission, Oshima Miyabi did not return immediately. Instead, she stayed behind and observed the magical execution force composed of students from Tenbi Academy after nightfall.
Tianri Academy was originally established by Lord Wang Jian ten years ago to recruit and train people with abilities and to serve as a source of fresh blood for the God Hunting Organization.
Initially, it did not attract official attention, mainly because paranormal events were not common before, and strange activities were not as frequent as they are now. Some private exorcism families and organizations were able to suppress various paranormal events, and at the same time, each family tacitly kept their distance from the authorities and maintained a mysterious demeanor.
Moreover, it wasn't that the government didn't actually have superpowered individuals; however, at that time, the official superpowered individuals mainly served as protectors of the powerful and wealthy, and were part of a special department specifically targeting crimes committed by superpowered individuals.
However, as paranormal events became more frequent, the authorities began to form more superpowered units. The Supernatural Disaster Bureau under the Ministry of the Environment alone established four countermeasures offices in various locations.
Then came the situation of talent shortage, and Tianri Academy came into the official view. However, although the teachers and students of Tianri Academy had no ambition.
However, the God Hunting organization behind Tenri Academy, especially Yamato Oken who controls God Hunting, not only has unfathomable strength, but has also assembled a large-scale superpowered army.
They have even quietly infiltrated the Japanese government, which has made no progress despite the Japanese government's efforts over the years. It was only recently that Yamato no Kenji agreed to transfer teachers and students from the current Tenbi Academy to join the superpowered force led by the Japanese cabinet.
With the frequent occurrence of various supernatural and ghostly incidents, many ordinary people have unexpectedly gained extraordinary superpowers, which has caused a great headache for the police department in charge of public order. It is said that the police department is also planning to form a special police force under the police force.
Chapter 183 Clubhouse
Today's Tokyo is a gathering place for all the wise and outstanding, with heroes from all walks of life—human, humanoid, anthropomorphic, and non-human—coming here to participate in this grand event.
The people of Tokyo are truly blessed. After all, in other places, ordinary people don't have such a high probability of seeing all sorts of monsters and ghosts, even though the authorities are still trying their best to refute the rumors.
But it's obvious which one is a rumor. Some well-informed ordinary people have already made their own judgments. In recent days, the incense in various temples and shrines has become increasingly prosperous.
Some exorcists who were already somewhat famous among the people started to have a surge in orders, but this was just the beginning. Most ordinary people had not directly encountered anything strange, but had only heard about it, so they were still skeptical.
However, as time goes on, more and more ordinary people are drawn into paranormal events, and the official explanations will become increasingly weak, eventually forcing them to admit it.
Even the most devoted gods at Inari Shrine, who used to stay at the shrine watching anime and playing otome games, have been affected. Most of the remaining gods have now retreated to Takamagahara.
Nowadays, there are very few gods left who remain in the secular world. The pervasive turbidity of the world will continue to corrupt the gods, eventually causing them to degenerate into evil gods, malevolent gods, or even bewildered and out-of-control monsters.
Even the spirit goddess Uka followed the instructions and warnings of her mother goddess and rarely left the shrine. However, Uka did not want to return to Takamagahara. Firstly, she found Takamagahara boring, and secondly, if she stayed in Takamagahara for too long, it would be difficult to leave again.
Secondly, to avoid the male gods who were always trying to propose to her, Yu Jia, who was disgusted by it, chose to stay in the secular world to live a peaceful life. Moreover, in the secular world, she could buy the latest romance anime and otome games as quickly as possible.
Although Uka is a resident of a shrine, the shrine still has the responsibility of protecting the local community. Moreover, many believers who have been harassed by strange occurrences have come to the shrine for help, so the offerings cannot be wasted.
The night was deep outside, but the shrine maidens dressed in red and white shrine maiden outfits had all been summoned by the appearing god. Among them was Shizuka Marikawa, who was leading Alice, who was also dressed in shrine maiden outfits and was like a curious child.
Although Shizuka and Alice both have contracts with demons and are genuine witches, the kind goddess Uga is willing to protect them from demon harassment.
However, Uka was unable to remove the bondage between them, so he could only prevent them from leaving the shrine. Later, he simply took the two women in as shrine maidens as well.
The tall and slender Uka, holding a gohei (a type of shrine maiden), solemnly addressed the priestesses: "Although modern society is not like ancient times, the duties of the gods have not changed. Believers worship the gods, and the gods should also do their utmost to protect the believers."
“From today onward, I will bestow divine power upon you, and you will take turns forming teams to clear away and drive away those ghosts that harass people at night. If you encounter a powerful monster, call upon me for help, and I will come to your rescue.”
After hesitating for a moment, a hint of worry appeared on Yujia's face, so she added, "Just stay around the shrine, don't go too far..."
However, this seemed unable to protect more people. But if the shrine maidens went too far away from the shrine, she might not be able to rescue them in time. For a moment, she couldn't help but hesitate.
After distributing the weapons and talismans he had made to the shrine maidens, and watching them file out with trepidation, Uka asked Shizuka and Alice to stay behind.
"Alice is still young, so she shouldn't get involved in dangerous activities. And Shizuka, if you leave the shrine, you might be targeted by demons. You and Alice should stay at the shrine, rest at night, and take over the duties of the other shrine maidens during the day."
Yu Jia's concern touched Shizuka deeply. However, firstly, everyone else was going on a dangerous mission while she was hiding in the shrine, which made her feel somewhat resentful. Secondly, besides feeling resentful, Shizuka also missed Niu Kun.
Slightly different from what she told Yu Jia, although Shizuka was indeed forced to become Niu Kun's witch, she... later developed a sense of belonging. In the days since she transmigrated, Shizuka couldn't help but miss Niu Kun at night.
However, Shizuka was too embarrassed to tell Yuka directly, so she could only use this as an excuse to sneak out and meet Niu Kun.
Although Alice is young, she is not completely ignorant. After all, Niu Kun did not hide anything from the little girl when he threw a big party in the ruins palace.
This made the little girl a bit precocious. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask to be with Shizuka, but both Uka and Shizuka rejected her. She could only sulk and secretly hope that she could grow up quickly.
Tokyo is bustling and lively during the day, and it's not much different at night, only the liveliness is a bit different. It even evokes images of the legendary Heian-kyo (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) in the legends.
A large-scale entertainment club.
Yes, such places are naturally filthy and corrupt, and therefore, it is inevitable that some ghosts and evil spirits will be produced or attracted.
With over an hour left before his transformation, Niu Kun, with Hei Yi and Yi slightly dressed up, arrived at the entertainment club.
Even after reverting to human form, Niu Kun's physique remained robust and imposing. He wore a designer suit, but the shirt was open and the suit jacket was casually unbuttoned.
He revealed a chest with muscles as strong as cowhide, and his appearance was not to be trifled with. With his hair tied up in a small braid, he looked like a ruthless gangster.
Even though they had makeup on, the two women, Hei Yi and Tsubasa, who were on either side of her, still lacked any air of worldliness and looked like innocent schoolgirls.
Moreover, they are both top-tier student girls with absolutely stunning looks and figures, the kind that make you want to exclaim "Wow!" at first glance. How could such wonderful girls have gone astray?!
At the entrance of the club, two fierce-looking, burly security guards couldn't help but feel a mixture of envy and pity. They envied Niu Kun, but felt sorry for the two girls—or rather, they felt sorry that the two girls weren't theirs.
After all, those who frequent such entertainment venues are obviously not good people; they are mostly gang members. Even if they haven't killed anyone, they have mostly been involved in fights, extortion, forcing women into prostitution, and other criminal activities.
Of course, Niu Kun seems to have even less right to say this. He has committed far more crimes than these gangsters, so there's no need for him to pretend to be a moral high-minded person and criticize these people.
The club is very large, divided into different areas. The spacious ballroom is noisy and chaotic and crowded with people. The private rooms are all making a ruckus, while upstairs there are quiet and comfortable high-end private rooms.
It caters to customers with all kinds of needs. Hei Yi and Yi, who were visiting this kind of place for the first time, seemed a little uncomfortable. They had never even been to a relatively clean KTV before.
After all, one is a pampered young lady pretending to be frail and sickly, while the other is playing the role of a well-behaved and sensible class monitor; naturally, they wouldn't come to a place like this.
As for Niu Kun... this was actually his first time here. In his previous life, he was a penniless shut-in, so how could he possibly go to a place like this? In this life, he had no chance, since he was dressed as a terrifying monster and obviously couldn't fool anyone.
but...
"Sure enough, there really are monsters disguised as vampires in this kind of place."
With a quick glance, Niu Kun noticed that the crowded and chaotic dance hall was filled with many supernatural creatures that could disguise themselves or possess people.
We didn't come to the wrong place.
Chapter 184 Melee (4k)
The noisy and chaotic dance hall, the deafening DJ, the colorful lights rolling incessantly, the scantily clad dancers on stage, and the men with all sorts of strange hairstyles, all contributed to the fiery atmosphere.
The men and women on the dance floor crowded together as if possessed, twisting their bodies to the loud music, amidst various acts of groping and lewdness, each one seemingly bewitched.
The booths were mostly filled with men looking for romance and women looking to hook up with rich men. However, regardless of gender, most of them were like wolves and tigers, or rotten fish meeting rotten shrimp. But there were also some eye-catching figures.
For example, Niu Kun, who walked in with two exceptionally pretty girls in his arms, easily attracted the attention of hungry wolves.
However, Niu Kun, who was over 1.9 meters tall, with muscles that made his suit look like it was about to burst, and a face that looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, was clearly not a weak or easily bullied character.
This was only because Niu Kun completely concealed his demonic aura and disguised himself as an ordinary person; otherwise, the invisible aura emanating from Niu Kun alone would have been enough to silence the entire noisy dance hall.
Having found an empty booth, Niu Kun figured he still had an hour left before transforming, so he wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble. His human transformation technique could be upgraded, and once it reached the top level, he could probably maintain it for as long as he wanted.
A waiter in a vest and shirt approached, and Niu Kun casually... mainly because he didn't know much about food and drink, he ordered the drinks and platter recommended by the waiter.
After the waiter left, Niu Kun heard Hei Yi, who was clinging to his arm, complain, "I should have brought Yuno with you. This kind of dance hall is really terrible."
“Yuno is too young to come to a place like this.”
Niu Kun's somewhat perfunctory reply made Hei Yi roll her eyes and retort irritably, "You know Yuno is young? Then why didn't you still...do...you know what happened to Yuno?"
On the other side, Yi seemed quite interested, tightly holding Niu Kun's other arm, his eyes sweeping across the flickering light in the dance hall and the gazes that were openly and secretly watching.
"Master, you...you wouldn't be thinking of...what's that saying again, um, you're thinking of...a plot where someone pretends to be weak to fool others, and then gets slapped in the face?"
Yi turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips, and looked at Niu Kun with a hint of amusement.
"What? No?"
Niu Kun didn't deny it; instead, he nodded even more smugly: "That's right. I originally wanted to bring Qiu along, but Qiu wasn't too keen, and besides, Qiu is too mature, unlike the two of you..."
“Unlike the two of us, who look like high school students, we were probably tricked into coming here as naive girls. This makes it seem like you, Master, aren’t actually that great.”
Yi easily guessed Niu Kun's thoughts, since Niu Kun didn't try to hide them.
"Tch~ Boring."
Although Hei Yi said she was bored, she didn't let go of Niu Kun's arm. Instead, she rested her head on Niu Kun's shoulder, looking like a docile little bird.
In a dark corner, a man and a woman were embracing each other tightly. Suddenly, the woman trembled slightly, as if... she had reached orgasm.
A moment later, after the woman's body had completely relaxed, the man holding her raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that were particularly scarlet in the dim light, four sharp teeth, and lips that were still dripping blood.
Everything indicated his identity: a vampire. And this vampire was eating, though he didn't seem very satisfied with the 'food' in his arms.
"This kind of shoddy blood is really hard to drink, and you can't even drink your fill of it at once."
Muttering a complaint under his breath, the vampire released the limp woman, letting her slide into the corner. He hadn't killed her; a dead woman would attract the police's attention.
As an ordinary vampire roaming in the shadows, he cannot ignore the threats from the authorities and can only choose to be cautious. A woman who has been bitten by him once will only be unconscious for one night.
By tomorrow morning, the teeth marks on the woman's neck will be less noticeable, and she will only feel groggy, thinking it's just a hangover, and she will recover in about a week.
However, if you are repeatedly bitten by vampires, you will inevitably become a blood slave, and may even mutate into a ghoul.
But that wasn't what the vampire cared about. Still hungry, he was looking for his next target in the nightclub. Soon, his eyes lit up when he saw a girl who had come in alone.
With long, golden hair cascading down her shoulders, and a delicate and beautiful appearance, she appeared to be between middle and high school age. Her noble and proud demeanor seemed out of place in the atmosphere of the surrounding dance hall.
Like a young lady who had wandered into this place by mistake, her bright eyes glanced around with a hint of arrogance. She seemed to have already made an appointment and was looking for her target as she walked around the dance floor.
Bang~
The man, who was suddenly thrown out of the booth, almost bumped into the blonde girl. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent brewed. He glanced at the booth and saw a tall, burly man with a sinister look on his face grabbing another thug with tattoos on his face and throwing him out again.
A flicker of surprise crossed the blonde girl's eyes. She instinctively felt a fear rising within her for no apparent reason. Even in the briefest moment their eyes met, the blonde girl involuntarily looked away.
The man before me... is definitely not simple.
Niu Kun raised an eyebrow. He really hadn't expected to meet such a beautiful young lady in a place like this. Before Niu Kun could even start a conversation, she turned her head away, walked past the thug who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, and continued walking forward.
Soon, several waiters gathered around and were immediately subjected to a barrage of arrogant reprimands from Niu Kun, just like a boss scolding his employees. Even when the manager came over, he didn't dare to say much, but simply dragged the two thugs who had been beaten up away.
This little incident didn't affect the blonde girl. She found the people waiting for her: a capable woman with long black hair and glasses, and a man with a scar on his face who looked weak and as if he hadn't recovered from a serious injury.
The capable woman exchanged a few pleasantries with the blonde girl, but for some reason, her gaze couldn't help but linger on the tall, muscular man who was scolding the waiter. It seemed... strangely familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"Greetings, Mr. Inunaki, Ms. Ken. I am Shizuru Imano, the next leader of the Cursed Path. I didn't expect you to meet me in a place like this, but none of that matters. What matters is... are you sure you really have information about the Sessho-seki?"
After the blonde girl sat down, she gave a brief self-introduction and then got straight to the point.
"Of course, and it's very clear news."
The disguised Sword Light Princess solemnly affirmed that she really had no other choice. Her long-established stronghold had been taken over by the enemy, and her former companions had been forced to submit to that terrible enemy.
However, she also faces the pursuit of the enemy's henchmen and is nearly captured several times. Fortunately, Shinichiro Inunaki rescues her at the cost of his life, but Shinichiro Inunaki is also seriously injured.
Without a stable base, healing became a major problem. To make matters worse, Dr. Mochizuki, who had been hiding, mysteriously disappeared. After much inquiry and investigation, it was barely confirmed that he had been taken away by a powerful organization called God Hunting.
The situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, and Kenshin was almost in despair. In this situation, Inunaki, who had unexpectedly obtained a Sesshōseki, learned that a transnational arms smuggling organization, which was also a mysterious faction called the Cursed Path, was also searching for the Sesshōseki.
Therefore, in urgent need of a place to hide and support, they chose to use the news of the Killing Stone to contact the Cursed Path, which had recently re-entered Japan. However, they did not expect that the other party would send their leader's daughter, the next leader, Imano Shizuru, to make contact.
