With that, Takeru Tenkuuji stood up and deactivated his transformation.
Seeing this, Shirase Mariya also deactivated her transformation, and the thick layer of clay on her body fell off, revealing her true form.
Tenkuuji Takeru stepped forward, extended his hand to Shirase Mariko, and said:
"It was a great fight. Thank you for sparring with me."
Shirase Mariko simply nodded without saying anything.
Tenkuji no Mikoto then asked:
"By the way, can we practice together again sometime in the future?"
Shirase Mariko hesitated for a moment, and instead of answering directly, she turned to look at Lu Chen.
Her gesture implied that whether or not to fight depended on Lu Chen's decision.
Lu Chen overheard their conversation and was quite satisfied with Shirase Mariko's reaction. He nodded and said:
“Okay, I agree on behalf of Shirase Mariko. You two are both rookies as warriors. If you train with each other, it will effectively improve your combat experience.”
Upon hearing Lu Chen's reply, Sky Temple Zun Dun grinned and said, "Thank you, Lu Chen!"
Chapter 163 Upon hearing the immortal uncle's order to leave, Tenkuuji-zun stopped bothering him.
...
a few days later.
Lu Chen was reading a book when he heard footsteps. He saw Yamauchi Misaki, Tenkuji Takeru, and Shirase Mariko return, looking exhausted.
Seeing this, Lu Chen put the book on the table and asked, "Will this lead to any discoveries?"
Last night, Yamauchi Misaki found a rumor that said you could find a man in a random alley in the city who would tell you how to make your wish come true.
So early this morning, Yamauchi Misaki dragged Tenkuji Takeru out to find that legendary man.
In order not to miss any Eye Demons, Lu Chen also had Shirase Mariko join in, and told her to notify him immediately if she discovered any Eye Demons.
Yamauchi Misaki waved his hand and said:
"I can't find him. This whole trip was a complete waste of effort. I guess that rumor is false. There's no such thing as a man in an alley."
Tenkuuji-sensei said somewhat angrily:
"It's like searching for a needle in a haystack. There are only eighty-odd days left, and I don't even know if that will be enough time to find the remaining eye souls."
At this moment, Lu Chen made a suggestion:
"Instead of searching blindly like this, let's first determine which hero's spirit the next Eye Soul belongs to."
"You're right."
Tenkuji Zun had an idea and quickly ran to the basement.
Upon arriving in the basement, Tenkuji Takeru saw that the old man was still sitting in his bedding, engrossed in reading a book.
However, this time the immortal uncle was wearing very cute pajamas, which looked quite different.
After greeting the immortal uncle, Tenkuuji Monk asked:
"Uncle Immortal, which hero will be the next Eye Soul? Can you tell me?"
The old man chuckled and said:
"Don't call me 'uncle' anymore. Call me 'handsome guy' and I'll tell you what's going on."
Tenkuji-san rolled his eyes and replied:
"Can I call you handsome uncle?"
"Okay, haha, that's a good name."
The immortal uncle laughed heartily and then answered Tenkuji Takeru's question:
"Have you ever heard the poem that says, 'If the cuckoo doesn't mention it, it's not a pity to kill it'?"
Tenkuji Takeru, having read quite a few books, immediately understood.
"Isn't this a poem related to Oda Nobunaga?"
The old man with the immortality raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly:
··········Requesting flowers······
"Bingo, now focus on finding Oda Nobunaga's Eye Soul, and don't bother me anymore."
Upon hearing the immortal uncle's order to leave, Tenkuji-zun stopped bothering him and turned to leave.
When Tenkuji Takeru returned to the living room on the first floor, he found Yamauchi Misaki excitedly answering a phone call, while his childhood friend Tsukimura Akari was also there, chatting with Lu Chen.
...................
After Yamauchi Misaki hung up the phone, Tenkuji Mikoto asked curiously:
"Who are you talking to on the phone? You seem so excited."
Yamauchi Onari chuckled and said:
"Of course I'm excited! This is the company number for the Institute of Strange Things. A customer just called me, saying they wanted to hire us to investigate something."
Hearing this answer, Tenkuji Takeru was also somewhat excited.
"Really? When will the guests arrive?"
Yamauchi Onari replied:
"They'll be here this afternoon."
On the other side, Akari Tsukimura was pulling Lu Chen aside, asking him how he managed to expose those eye demons.
She wanted to understand the principle behind the Shiranui magnetic field so she could create a device that would allow the Eye Demon to manifest.
Chapter 164 Are you a descendant of Oda Nobunaga?
In this way, Lu Chen wouldn't have to be present every time for ordinary people like them to see the Eye Demon.
Lu Chen had no idea about the principle of the Shiranui magnetic field. He had obtained this thing from the system; he was just a user, not a developer.
Lu Chen could only shift the blame, sending Yuecun to find the Immortal Uncle:
"The Immortal Uncle has some solutions; you can get inspiration from him." "September 23rd"
Upon hearing this answer, Akari Tsukimura was overjoyed and immediately pulled Takeru Tenkuji back to the basement, saying she wanted to go and talk to the old man.
As for the result, of course, it was a fruitless trip.
Since the immortal uncle couldn't be found yet, Tsukimura could only try to concoct the potion himself.
In the afternoon, the person who had called Yamauchi Misaki came to visit Daitenkuji Temple.
The newcomer was a fat man in a suit and tie, holding a handkerchief and constantly wiping away sweat; he looked very honest and simple.
The fat man said he came from Qian Shi Group and was a manager in the company.
Yamauchi Misaki took the business card and asked very seriously:
"Have you encountered any strange phenomena recently? Do you need our help to investigate or resolve anything?"
The fat man looked at Yamauchi Misaki and began to tell his story.
"Our president was originally a very kind president who treated his subordinates very well."
"I don't know what happened recently, but the president's personality suddenly changed drastically. He became very vicious and often verbally abused his subordinates. He also became very aggressive in the company's expansion."
Yamauchi Onari frowned and asked:
"If it's just a drastic change in personality, that's not really a strange phenomenon, is it? Perhaps your boss has encountered some major upheaval?"
The fat man shook his head and continued:
"It's not just that the president's personality has changed drastically, there are other things too. For example, when I'm working overtime at the company at night, sometimes things on my desk will fly up on their own. This is not my imagination, other colleagues have also encountered this. Isn't this a paranormal event?"
Upon hearing this, Yamauchi Misaki and Tenkuji Takeru exchanged a glance.
Remembering what the old man had said that morning, Tenkuji-zō tentatively asked: 1
"Are you a descendant of Oda Nobunaga?"
Oda Nobunaga? The fat man paused for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not, but my boss seems to be. I've heard him mention it before. He said his ancestors were related to Oda Nobunaga, and he really admires Nobunaga. He even has his poems in his office..."
Upon hearing this, Tenkuuji Takeru beamed and nodded emphatically, saying, "Alright, but we'll accept this request."
The old man said the next Eye Soul is related to Oda Nobunaga, and the fat guy's company president has some connection to Oda Nobunaga, so it's quite obvious that the target is the fat guy's boss, the company president. 7
5.1 Takeru Tenkuji immediately issued an order: "Minaru, go investigate the president's family background. I'll go to the company to investigate." 6
“Alright, let’s set off then.” Yamauchi Mikihiro nodded and stood up. 6
The fat man followed closely behind; he needed to get back to the company and was planning to bring Tenkuji Takeru along. (6)
However, when the two arrived outside the temple, they happened to run into Shirase Mariko.
Chapter 165 As Tenkuuji Zun spoke, he walked forward, before the fat man could react...
Seeing that both Tenkuji Takeru and Yamauchi Misaki were about to make an appearance, Shirase Mariko guessed that the two must have accepted a commission, and asked:
Do you have any requests? Do you need my help?
