Chapter 94: After the exorcist,
Li Pan basically had nothing to do. He continued to play the role of a humanoid meat machine, standing next to the server and letting Shiba control the prosthetic body. He controlled the main body of Sky City to turn around the night. The capital circled around, slid over the dam, and fell into the Pacific Garbage Sea.
After the local martial law was lifted, Akaiten Inu did not waste manpower to regain control. He directly adopted Plan B and detonated bombs everywhere to blow up the city. The security bureau also poured into the city and attacked everywhere to capture Akaten Inu's people. terrorist. The Night City activated various defense systems, and railgun missiles and drones were dispatched in large numbers to destroy the wreckage of the Sky City that had been destroyed, separated, and fallen.
Although the acts of Li Yan were one hour, in fact, the back of the security bureau ended the end of the day, and the sky was banging in the sky and underground.
But in the end, the outcome was good. More than 70% of the Sky City area was successfully forced to land on the sea. Only the Taiping District was hit by a large number of high-altitude projectiles, causing explosions and fires. However, densely populated areas such as the central area escaped unscathed.
The City of Night finally had another peaceful day.
Li Pan handed over the cockroach head and control to the agents of the Security Bureau who arrived later, hid his fame and fortune, and went to meet his colleagues.
It's a pity that his mission objectives have basically been completed.
"Boss, we got the Golden Buddha..."
Li Pan took the box handed over by Rama and took a look. The one in the box was no longer the 'Golden Buddha' he had seen before. The one on the right side was still a 'Buddha', but the one on the left half was The gold paint rotted and turned into black, turning into a ferocious-looking 'demon', probably the so-called 'Rushi'.
The belly and liver of 'Lushi' are vaguely tattooed with many small characters. I don't know if they are secret texts or curse seals. Maybe they are some cultivation methods or something like that. Maybe if ordinary people observe it for a long time, new 'cockroaches' will appear.
Fortunately, Li Pan looked at it at this time and saw that there was not much black energy left on the 'Buddha and Demon Statue'. He also ate half of the gallbladder. He sucked up all the energy and vomited it. It should not be able to become a climate for the time being. Let it go. Find a warehouse in the box and throw it in. This mission will be successfully completed.
Tsk, what a pity. He originally expected ACA to escape with the things and snatch them back, which cost tens of millions...
Then Li Pan looked at Rama speechlessly, with a bruised nose and swollen face, a bunch of bags on his head, and his mouth full of blood. .
No, why are you working so hard for two thousand and fifty a month?
"Why is your face swollen like this? Who hit you?"
Rama pointed behind him angrily. He saw that ACA's husky was being handcuffed in the shuttle. This kid was not much better. He was lying on his back. His head and nose were broken, and his nose was bleeding non-stop. His hands and neck were also bandaged. Judging from the blood seeping out of the bandages, it seemed that he had been bitten by some wild dog... You two are really fighting
. Dog...
Li Pan was speechless and looked at Lao Liu, who seemed to be alright and whose clothes were not wrinkled.
"Are you just watching from the side?"
Lao Liu happily patted Lama on the shoulder,
"It's okay, let's do the actual battle." The fastest way is to increase your experience. Young people have strong bones. It doesn’t matter how many times they get beaten.
But don’t mention it. Rama’s quality is pretty good. Don’t look at the white-headed boy over there. He’s covered in ice and snow, and he’s so fancy. Yes, Rama hammered him for an hour without saying a word. He knocked him down with three punches, haha! Not bad, not bad!"
Then he smiled and said to Rama,
"Look what I said. Come on, practice boxing first. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to fight. Half the battle is won if you can endure beatings better than others. Come to Tianlong Village tomorrow and I'll find a few more people to teach you hard Qigong together." Lama used swollen into
two Slit eyes squinted at him. Maybe he didn't really want to learn hard qigong...
Well, anyway, the mission of Rama's group was considered a success. Moreover, he also captured ACA's husky and handed it over to 01044, which is considered a great achievement.
But Ah Qi failed.
"Sorry, boss, we didn't find Mr. Yamazaki."
"Oh? Not found?" Li Pan looked at the divination ball and waved his hand, "It's okay. The situation is too chaotic and it's normal to not be able to find anyone for a while. Report it directly to the Security Bureau. The personnel are missing, please ask them to assist in the search and rescue."
Yamazaki is fine, and now he runs to the control room in the opposite direction. It seems that he has joined up with the agents of the Security Bureau, so he will not disturb his business report, so he pretends to be missing. It would be best to change jobs and go back to work as an agent.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Let's have dinner together tonight!"
The restaurant is located in an expensive restaurant on Yoshihara Street in Kabukicho, the old capital district. Obviously Kotaro and his relatives spent some money, and their original intention was to invite Li Pan alone. , who would have thought that he would bring a group of people to share the meal.
But after all, they are all colleagues in the company. Kotaro's business skills are quite strong. He is not a professional infiltration investigator. He talks about people and ghosts. At the same time, he introduced Li Pan to his elders and let the two of them sit down and drink. , while greeting his colleagues for dinner, he also accompanied them to ask about today's battle in Sky City, making "Wow", "red bean paste" and "masaka" sounds at the right time to praise the battle in Sky City.
By the way, except for Yamazaki, Shiranui Kiriko was not present. The kunoichi disappeared again. Li Pan didn't bother to ask, he was used to it.
Then Li Pan picked up the wine glass and turned to look at the man beside him who was toasting him.
"I'm sorry, what do you call me..."
This is a tall, handsome young man with a pale complexion, a pointed chin, a high nose, and typical Asian features. He straightened his tie and bowed.
"I am Ashiya Shikiki, an exorcist from Banshu, and the current governor of the Ashiya family, Rokudo." "
Oh, Mr. Ashiya, are you the elder of the Demon Lord? You look very young?"
Li Pan was drinking and searching on the Internet. I found some enthusiastic netizens to learn some rumors about the Ashiya clan.
This family is a local mage. In ancient times, they were called onmyojis and exorcists. They are similar to priests, shamans, magicians and Taoists. They are usually responsible for various sacrifices. They may be similar in nature to a company. They also collect, suppress and manage various gods and ghosts. , a weird gadget. Later, Gao Tianyuan rose up and also served as a magic consultant, assisting the imperial court and participating in the suppression and sealing of demons in various places.
The Ashiya family can be considered a famous family in this area. They have lived in the Boshu area for generations and are also a very famous and influential Chinese family in Kansai. Of course, the family that was so attached to Dashu naturally declined with the disintegration of Gao Tianyuan.
Ashiya Shiki explained with a smile,
"Ashiya and the Fengmo family are close relatives by marriage. In terms of seniority, I am still his uncle. However, in fact, we are similar in age, we are distant relatives, and we don't have so many rules." Li Pan was curious
. , "The Sealed Demon Lord specially recommended you. It seems that you have a good relationship. Don't you believe his rumors?"
Ashiya Shiki nodded,
"You are referring to the rumors that Kotaro massacred the Sealed Demon clan. About this matter. I don't know it myself. After all, the Ashiya family are not ninjas. What's more, when the incident happened, I had already been sealed by the Imperial Court." "Oh
? You were sealed too? What are you doing?"
Ashiya Shikiya said frankly,
"Because I disobeyed the order of Takamagahara, killed the previous generation Ashiya Rokudo, and seized the position of family governor, so I was assigned to be sealed and detained, and I have been imprisoned in Banshu."
Li Panhan, fuck, you also like to kill relatives? Then these two people are really a match made in heaven, a match made by earth.
Ashiya Shiki poured wine for Li Pan,
"There's no need to worry, Manager-san. I'm not a cybernetic. It's just that my Ashiya family serves the Demon Lord of Six Paths. There can only be one priest of the Six Paths in the past. The battle for the succession of the family governor has always been a matter of life and death. I I just didn't want to sit back and wait for death, so I made the first move.
Gao Tianyuan didn't like me being such a rebellious son who was disobeying his superiors and killing his father and brother, but he couldn't bear to let the Ashiya family bloodline be cut off, so he sealed me. This time, I asked Lord Seal to introduce me, and I hope to join. Your company also wants to break the seal of the demon on this body.
If you, manager, can be tolerant and considerate, accept me, I will do my best to serve the company as I am asked, and I will die if I dare not."
Li Pan shrugged,
"No need. As I said, no matter what age it is, everyone is out to make money. Two and a half thousand a month, it doesn't matter if you play around with it. However, you have agreed in advance that if you take the initiative to submit your resume, you still need to ask about the process. It's based on the opinion of the head office."
Ashiya Shiki nodded with a smile,
"Of course, I'll ask you to contact me on my behalf. In addition, I've prepared two small gifts, please accept them."
Li Pan smiled brightly, "Look at you, this is such a small thing. What kind of gift are you giving me? Well, what is this..."
Ashiya Shiki took out a box from the side room, which was filled with books and scrolls.
"These are the secret techniques collected by the Ashiya family for generations. I am willing to hand them over to the company as a gift for promotion."
Oh, is the knowledge about monsters passed down? This kid is quite straightforward. Seeing the fall of Takamagahara, he and those people He didn't deal with it and just handed over his family's possessions and took refuge in the company. With so many secret spell books, the company must give him face to recruit him.
Li Pan flipped through it casually, "Are these your family's true heritage? Are you really willing to give it up?"
Ashiya Shiki nodded with a smile, "They are just some outdated ancient books, not to mention that I have already learned them."
Then he sent another spell. A jar with runes printed on it and sealed tightly.
What, it’s the tea can again? antique? How much is it worth?
"What is this? Pickles?"
Li Pan swayed out of curiosity. There seemed to be a gurgling sound of water inside, as if something was inside.
Ashiya Shiki bowed down and said,
"It's Miss Shiranui Kiriko."
"Oh, it's Shiranui..."
Li Pan shut up and looked at him quietly.
"Suddenly, a ninja broke into my house and stabbed me. I was very frightened, so I was a bit harsh. However, I was doing it out of self-defense. Please forgive me." I was a bit
harsh? Fuck, there should only be one head left in such a big jar...
Ashiya Shiki bowed to the ground without getting up. The back of his head was exposed as if he was sincerely apologizing.
Li Pan hesitated for a moment whether to slap him down, and turned to look at Kotaro.
Kotaro jumped over and bowed down beside Ashiya Shiki.
"Red bean paste private horse racing! This time, our skills are really inferior to others, and the task of sealing the demon failed!
Miss Shiranui was captured alive by Ashiya-kun. Because I had a chance encounter with Ashiya-kun and were related by marriage, I was able to successfully persuade him. He has joined the company, please be considerate."
Fuck, after a long time of work, Ashiya Shiki is the demon target of your mission! Kotaro, you are really capable. If you can't beat her, you can persuade others to join, and...
"Are you sure this is a 'capture alive'?"
Ashiya Shiki raised his head with a smile,
"There is no need to worry, manager, I originally wanted to train her. She is a shikigami who has sealed her soul with a secret method. She is still alive and well. I have heard for a long time that the company has a treasure that can revive the dead and make flesh and bones. Now that I have this opportunity, please let me see it." "Oh, what do you want
? Let's see."
Li Pan suddenly stood up and punched Ashiya Shiki in the face, hitting him upside down. He knocked over several doors and rolled into the yard. When he raised his head, the bridge of his nose was sunken into his skull and his nose was bleeding. Chaos.
Lao Liu Lama Husky, who was eating sashimi lobster, hurriedly took the bowl and hid aside. Not knowing what was going on, he got into a fight half way through the meal.
"Hehehe, why should the manager be angry? I already told you that it was just a misunderstanding. I am sincerely joining the company this time, why should I reject someone thousands of miles away."
Ashiya Shiki laughed with a nosebleed, and Li Pan also laughed. .
"I know, don't you want to see it? I'll beat you into a living dead. Wouldn't it be better for you to experience it for yourself? Don't worry, I will only try your skills and promise not to beat you to death." Ashiya Shiki wiped the
nosebleeds Standing up,
"Okay, let's ask the manager about his skills."
Li Pan swayed and grabbed Ashiya Shiki's shoulders with both hands.
Ashiya Shiki also suddenly raised his hand and advanced instead of retreating. He used the bone of his left arm as a hand knife and rushed in close with a sliding step. He used the blade to fly forward and hit Li Pan in the face. At the same time, he punched Li Pan in the ribs with his right hand.
Li Pan also quickly changed his moves, grabbing the tiger claw hand back and twisting Ashiya's noble shoulder and elbow. But Ashiya Shiki also changed his moves from inch punch to grappling, reaching for Li Pan's thumb meridian and twisting his wrist.
The two collided with each other, wrestling with each other and constantly changing positions.
Lama and Husky were eating melon on the side, and Lao Liu was explaining there,
"Look, the boss uses the muscle-splitting and bone-splitting technique. Although the routines taught in the army are rough, they are more powerful and ruthless. You can break someone's arms with strong force, and it's best to use it to torture people.
But that Japanese man is also very capable. I saw that he is good at joint skills. He should be a master of Aikido and Judo. You don’t give the boss a chance to fight head-on, and you also have a prosthetic body on you, so you won’t lose in a head-to-head fight.
These two are very skilled in close combat. You two should learn more, and don’t butt heads, bite, or spit next time. That’s it.”
Husky and Rama looked at each other and continued eating.
Li Pan and Ashiya Shiki fought in the yard for a while, and for a while it was hard to tell the winner.
Li Pan was also a little surprised. His strength was superhuman. He could use his grappling hand to catch a novice with one claw and one finger. He could crush the person's whole body into pieces with just two strokes. I originally thought that the opponent could easily capture a mere mage and give him a beating.
Unexpectedly, Ashiya Shiki was also proficient in joint techniques. He could remain undefeated in his grasp simply by relying on Ting Jin's skills. It's as slippery as a loach, and I can't even catch it.
It hurts now. Li Pan originally wanted to force out the other party's true ability, to see if the shikigami, the onmyoji, and the exorcist were really that powerful. He went to two ninjas and came back with only one head left. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually resisted his temptation with only the skills of Aikido and Judo.
Does he really want to show his true abilities? Then who is testing whom? Or should I still use the vaginal legs? But in such a large public, I felt that using my vaginal legs would damage my reputation...
Fortunately, Aqi jumped out to smooth things over,
"You two, don't fight anymore, let's treat Miss Shiranui first, and she destroyed her shop. , the store will also be very troubled."
Ashiya Shiki also seized the opportunity, knelt on the ground, took out a piece of paper from his arms and presented it to him.
"I admit defeat. Please show me your noble hand. I just borrowed the power of my own shikigami to hold on. Now my limbs can no longer hold on."
Li Pan hesitated for a moment, did not pursue anymore, and casually took the 'shigami' and looked at it. Look, it’s cut like a paper man, and it looks like a modified talisman.
"Okay, Ashiya-kun, you are also capable. Since you surrendered on your own initiative, I will give you a chance to see how the headquarters makes a decision." After such a fuss, Li Pan had no intention of eating, so he took
the Shiranui Kiriko's jar, go back to the company and help her return the file.
He is not too worried about the safety of this female ninja, but after all, he is an employee, so he can help if he can. And let's be honest, what kind of demon-sealed jounin is such a good person? If you don't put it in the can, who will? Can?
However, Ashiya Shiki's unexpected move made Li Pan wary even though the other party was determined to prove his strength.
It's quite a deal to recruit such a master for two thousand and fifty a month, but is the other person really sincerely committed to the company? Or is it that he and Demon Sealing Kotaro have reached some kind of alliance of interests? Although Li Pan didn't think highly of the demon's power, recruiting them as temporary workers wouldn't be a recipe for trouble, right?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Li Pan thought it would be better to resurrect Shiranui Kiriko, and at least leave someone to check and balance Kotaro to avoid being betrayed without knowing it.
So Li Pan opened the seal of the jar and took a look.
Oh my god, Shiranui Kiriko's death was even worse this time. She was obviously killed by a master with a knife. She cut her head in half, put it in a jar and soaked it in wine. When she opened the lid, she saw that she was turning the page. Staring out with white eyes, almost like a female ghost, Madhu was always scary.
However, Li Pan also saw that she actually had "one breath left". There was white breath overflowing from her mouth and nose, but she was trapped under the water with a strange green light, and her head could not float. It was obvious There are many incantations written on the inner wall of this jar, which seems to be some kind of magic weapon that traps people's souls.
To be honest, Li Pan also wanted to see if the filing cabinet could cure this situation out of some curiosity, so he helped Maiko Shiranui return to a stall.
Then there was a crash, and Li Pan turned his head and saw Shiranui Kiriko crawling out of the jar.
First a hand, then the head, then the second hand, waist, legs and feet, just like those in the restricted supernatural special photo movies, wet and eerie, a person transformed into a living person, Shiranui Kiriko from a jar as big as his head. Climbed out.
Li Pan also had a chill down his spine, swallowed, and looked at the woman standing in front of him.
"Uh, Kiriko? Is it Kiriko? Are you okay?"
Shiranui Kiriko stared at Li Pan with disheveled hair,
"Why don't you let me die?"
Li Pan said quickly,
"No, no, I'm just I want to see the world. If you want to die so much, just die by yourself. I promise not to save you anymore."
Shiranui Kiriko looked at him silently for a while, then turned around and walked away. She didn't know if she was seeking death.
