[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Hanging Head Island is a paradise for demons.

Then it was, and it is now.

In the era when the dark world had the greatest influence, the Dark Martial Arts Conference was the nourishment for the "Flower of Evil" to bloom.Youkai who stay in the human world, and humans who exchange souls with demons.Those humans who raise yokai entertain themselves with hellish scenes, while bloodthirsty yokai enjoy the show.At that time, Hangshou Island was called hell on earth.

But now, monsters are declining in the human world, and the Dark Martial Arts Conference is also occupied by more humans.The performance of the original demon has somewhat lost its own meaning.

These changes are brought about by changes in the world of darkness itself.

In the past, only monsters and humans with evil intentions were classified into the dark world.But gradually, people with special powers are also regarded as people in the dark world by default.Exorcist, onmyoji, good yokai, bad yokai, oni.When shrine maidens and temple monks stand on the fighting stage of the Dark Martial Arts Conference for the purpose of "purification", the meaning of this conference has changed.

"This is a practice." Riji's tone was flat, "The practice of human beings, and the practice of other creatures. This is also an occasion for communication. Humans and other creatures achieve spiritual refinement through fighting."

Guanyue: "..."

His slender fingers wrapped around his bangs, almost straightening them out, and he felt that he couldn't communicate with these guys who cultivated spiritual power.

Such a thing as power is clearly □□□.

People will be attracted and controlled, and then lose their original self and become a shell of power.

Moreover, those magical creations and spiritual power creations are clearly the retribution brought about by human beings playing with power and life.They only bring disaster!

"Senior, control your emotions." Riji sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

Guan Yue came back to her senses and realized her gaffe.He let go of his hands and grunted with a smirk, turning over to face the wall.

The moment he turned around, a white shadow flashed outside the window.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." When the white fox jumped into the room from the window, almost all the people inside had arrived.He apologized insincerely and jumped on top of the coat rack in the room.

Zangma glanced at him: "Do you need to maintain this form all the time? Although the monsters will indeed return to their original form after going to the island, but..."

The peony next to her clearly showed an expression of wanting to touch her fur.

"I can't be human, you know that," said the white fox.

Zangma's expression was delicate: "At the beginning, you were on the roof of the hospital. Aren't you in human form? That child didn't leave for long at that time, right?"

"One moment and another moment." The white fox said.

Kurama's face was full of "You don't even find a decent reason for lying, are you looking down on me?"He stared at the white fox for a while, but couldn't bear the animal-like imitation of this fox demon, so he looked away again.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's discuss the planned plan." Xiao Yan Wang smoothed things over at this time.

"Is it really okay for us to do this? There will be a big mess. The Dark Martial Arts Tournament has already declined to this point, and if we follow the plan... this competition will not go on." Yusuke yawned on the sofa.

"This is a game that shouldn't exist." Xiao Yan Wang was very calm. "A group of mobs gathered for a carnival will only bring chaos."

"Well, without Zuokyo, it's true that these few sessions of the Dark Martial Arts Tournament always feel a bit off." Kuwahara finished speaking and glanced at Hiei, "By the way, Miss Yukina didn't come this time?"

Feiying: "..."

He snorted, ignored Kuwahara, but frowned and looked at the white fox squatting on the coat rack: "Are you sure, it's okay for you to find a group of middle school students?"

"We were middle school students when we participated in the competition." Yusuke waved his hand, "Besides, aren't there a lot of people who came to help this time? Even Miss Guanyue, the great magician, returned home on purpose."

"Yes." Guanyue Gefan leaned slightly to ask for a salute, "Everyone, please give me your advice."

"No, we should be the ones who are in trouble. It's really rude." Xiao Yan Wang walked to Guanyue Gefan gracefully, took her hand and gave her a handshake salute.

Peony had an expression of "Ah, here we go again".

"Speaking of which, Miss Guanyue's younger brother is also in Renwang-jun's team." She raised her head to look at the white fox, "This is the first time we have encountered such a situation where Renwang-jun shares the same name with a human being."

"Puri~" the white fox narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So, even for my own safety, I will arrange this competition well. If something happens to that kid, I will be very difficult .”

"After all, the name is the shortest mantra." Little Hades returned to his original position, "But if you make good use of this, you can do a lot of extra things."

Meetings like "How to set up monsters and criminals who have fled for a long time at the Dark Martial Arts Conference" and "Sweeping out the gang" lasted for more than an hour, and the plan was not very subtle. .

Little Hades has been planning to cancel the Dark Martial Arts Conference for a long time. After all, the human world belongs to his jurisdiction. Without this competition, his workload can be reduced by three percent.This is already a lot, and it will free him up a lot of time.It's a pity that the Dark Martial Arts Conference is not under his control, and Zuo Jing's subordinates still have some influence.

After waiting for nearly ten years, I finally got my chance.

Guanyue Gefan stopped the white fox when he walked out of the room.

She smiled softly: "That child Xiaochu, I'd like to trouble King Ren to watch over him more."

"Is this okay? He hates using magic power." White Fox said.

"For human beings, having power is also an original sin. It is useless to escape from reality. As long as he has power, trouble will always come to his door. I hope he can have the initiative instead of being pushed away by fate."

Kuang Yuan, who walked out of the room together, originally wanted to avoid it, but turned around when he heard this sentence: "Does Miss Guanyue think so?"

"Yes." Guan Yue Gefan's expression revealed a little trouble, "That child's magical talent is no worse than mine, but he has rejected the world since he was a child. He even gave up his always talented ping-pong in order to be an ordinary person. ball."

White Fox: "...I don't understand. Is it related to escaping power?"

"Well, probably when the national team went to China to compete, he saw something that surprised him. In that ancient country, the power left by history is much more than our country."

The gods of Japan are lonely, most of the gods have fallen into a deep sleep, and a few gods are also in pain because of the continuous loss of faith.This makes this land produce too many changes in chaos.Then the demon world became independent, the underworld became independent, and the spiritual world separated the cycle of life and death between humans and other creatures, and the barrier between the human world and other worlds was erected.Under such circumstances, it is not impossible to be determined to be an ordinary human being.

Guanyue Gefan originally didn't interfere with his younger brother's choice of being ordinary.

But her magic won't lie, and human society can't always be that peaceful.

Rapid development will only bring waves of undercurrents.She hoped that he would have the ability to protect himself.

At least it will not go to destruction in a daze.

"Of course, I think there are other reasons for him to give up table tennis." She joked, "It's a sport that can't reach its peak no matter what. Boys will feel reconciled and choose a more promising path. "

"Is it okay to be so pessimistic about our country's table tennis?" Kuwahara raised his head and thought for a while after listening, "Speaking of which, I seem to have a cousin who also plays tennis? He is also in junior high school now."

cousin?

"In short, they are distant relatives who have been living in Brazil before and only returned to China a few years ago. I only heard my sister mention it." Kuwahara said.

Hearing this description, the white fox always felt a little familiar.

Brazil?

Kuwahara?

……No way?

The white fox refused to delve into the imagination.Anyway, Kuwahara was not familiar with the "distant relatives".

It commented on Guanyue Gefan's statement: "For tennis, the situation is very complicated. If Guanyue is still unwilling to use magic power on the tennis court, then he might as well go back to play table tennis."

"It's the same with table tennis. There is no way for ordinary people to reach the top. This is a realistic era." Guanyue Gefan said.

peace.

This is an age of peace.

But peace never lasts long.

When the white fox returned to the hotel, Nioh had just returned from Honmaru.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met the bright yellow eyes of the white fox.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and he was startled for a moment before realizing that the two bright round eyes were white fox eyes rather than ghost lights.

"You're back." He greeted casually.

The white fox landed on the bed, raised its paw and put it on King Ren's leg: "From today onwards, I will give you special training."

Nioh: "...?"

Haven't you been giving me special training for a long time?

He blinked and found that the surrounding environment had changed.

No longer a hotel room, but—

Blue sky, white clouds, without the sun, the sky is a bit overcast, and there is a large piece of grass with a little water vapor.

This is?

Snapped!

The white fox stepped on Niwang's back with one paw: "Let's start from the most basic."

the most basic?

When King Ni turned his head, he saw a group of fierce eagles appearing out of nowhere, and a balloon stuck behind his back at some point.

balloon?

"Don't let the balloon burst." The white fox said coolly, "Considering that you don't know much about fighting skills, let's start with running."

What are you kidding? !

"I can fight!" King Ni took a step forward, turning his head sideways while running to refute the white fox's words.

"Oh, let's treat it as a simple little game. Running can relieve stress and relax the body and mind." White Fox said.

Nioh was "forced" to run for over an hour in an inexplicable place.

The balloon was stuck to his back, and he could hear the screeching sound of the balloon when he ran slowly when the eagle's beak rubbed against it, so he could only speed up.

After running for a long time, the messy thoughts in my mind have indeed disappeared, leaving only sweat and my own panting.

The balloon finally burst.

Nioh stopped, propped his knees, and when he turned around, the eagle was gone.

The white fox jumped down from the air: "How do you feel?"

"...What exactly do you want me to do?"

"It's nothing." White Fox narrowed his eyes, "By the way, I suggest you play well in the next game."

Nioh: "...?"

"Isn't this a fighting game?" He was just joking when he said that to Byodoin before.Do you really want to fight, really use rackets and tennis balls?Punching out is the fastest and most instinctive reaction.

"I have chosen my opponents carefully," said the white fox, "for you, and for others."

"Are you acknowledging your secret operation so directly?"

"It's better to say it than not to say it." The white fox said frankly, "If I say it, if my plan goes wrong, I can directly settle the score with you, instead of feeling sulking and thinking that I made a mistake in my calculation."

Nioh: "..."

He sat down cross-legged: "I don't understand, so far, your purpose of letting me learn spiritual power is to improve tennis skills?"

"That's right." The white fox tilted his head, "Do I want you to save the world?"

Nioh: "..."

"You said it yourself, you are just a minor." The white fox flicked his tail, "Play tennis well, I hope you win every game."

"...Haven't you already lost?"

"Yes, but are you planning to keep losing to Byodoin?" The white fox jumped up and patted Nioh's shoulder with his paw. "Young man, stand at the top of Japanese tennis!"

Nioh: I am ashamed for no reason.

"You might as well talk about the world, shouldn't the goal be set as high as possible?" he muttered.

White Fox: "Very good, very ambitious."

The routine failed, Nioh returned to the hotel and became more and more angry.

Get mad at yourself.

Because for a moment he felt that the white fox was telling the truth.

Don't be funny, anyway, it took so much effort to let him play tennis well? !

Is there something wrong? !

But... those dreams...

But I'm not the kind of person who will be brooding over failure.

Maybe blame yourself, but remember hundreds of years?impossible?

Speaking of which, how old is this fox?

I only know that it is my future self, but I don't know how far into the future it is.After 200 years, Honmaru has never seen this white fox, but he always feels that there is a subtle connection between this white fox and his Honmaru.

So, is this fox two hundred years old?

The second day was the opening ceremony of the Dark Martial Arts Conference.

The sixteen teams participating in the competition lined up.

But half of the teams had not just five people, but six.

"Substitute." White Fox explained, "If one person dies, he can be replaced randomly. Of course, the Dark Martial Arts Conference is not so dangerous now, and the death rate is decreasing year by year."

Sounds like a good thing?

No, no, no, this kind of place can talk about mortality...

"Why does it still exist?" Guanyue frowned, "Is there any point in holding this kind of competition?"

"Hmph, do you think there are many good people in the world?" Byodoin said.

"I understand that this is a transfer of contradictions." Riji's voice was calm, "It brings some unstoppable disputes to a small group to replace part of the social unrest."

"It's not that complicated. There will still be disputes that humans should have, and they can't disappear. From this perspective, it is more appropriate to regard the Dark Martial Arts Conference as an event for the exchange of benefits between practitioners and special creatures." King Ren lowered his head, "Then Are you our substitute?"

"I'm on the same spot as you," said the white fox.

Nioh: "...Is this not against the rules? Oh, I see."

"pet".

He almost forgot that this fox was essentially the same person as him.

Huh?But he is a human being, and the fox is a monster, can they still be considered the same life?Certainly not.But they still share the same name?Does this have something to do with the white fox always sticking to him?

Two points on the map coincide and have the same name. Many people will think that it is a "person".

Niwang raised his head.

He looked around at the auditorium.

It is similar to the decoration of a large arena. The auditorium is empty now. Will it be filled when the game officially starts?

There is also a place similar to the central control room, which is probably a place for sponsors to watch the battle. From the reports he has read, many people who have left their names (not a good reputation) in human history have appeared there.

A race of life and death.

The names of the humans who died here.

Even if you win the game, can you really go out?

He imagined what it would be like if the auditorium was filled with monsters.

When he was on the phone with Natsume, the monsters described by the gentle senior were all cute and pitiful.

But the monsters he has encountered... are quite vicious.

Perhaps most of youkai are rational and wise, and they also have a friendly attitude towards humans.But it will never be the monster here.Most of the monsters who come here have the intention of tearing up human beings, as well as their own kind.

The Demon World...what the hell is it?

Niwang had too many questions in his mind.

Obviously, the white fox will not answer these questions.

He needs to find out for himself.

The official competition begins on the third day.

Miss Emcee is a youkai with bunny ears and a bunny girl costume that humans would love.She held the microphone and said the opening remarks.

But such an emcee is not as popular as expected.Hungry monsters wait for the defeat of the human team to feast on them.Most of the humans who watched the battle were priests, and a few fallen black warriors and black witches were not interested in sex.

The teams of human beings and monsters present are divided in half, so it happens to be a two-two battle.

Team White Fox's opponent is Team Mermaid.

The captain of the mermaid team is a "mermaid" with a human body and a fish tail.But contrary to human's imagination of a mermaid, his tail is longer than a person's, and the fish scales reflect light and look as sharp as a blade.And he belongs to the upper body of a human, with long nails, and a face with weird big eyes without pupils.The ears are connected to something similar to fish gills, and when the mouth is opened, the corners of the mouth almost reach the "fish gills", and the teeth are shining coldly.

He was soaked in the water, and was pushed to the field by his teammates—what looked like shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Then he climbed out of the water tank, and when he landed, his tail became his legs, his weird mouth and gills became human, but his eyes still had no pupils.

He ignored the chief general who needed to say hello, King Ni, and turned his head to look at Byodoin who was standing behind him: "It's been a long time, the brat named Byodoin..."

Ok?

Is this an old grudge?

King Ren turned his head.

Byodoin hugged its arms and snorted.

A five-match game, one-on-one, two wins out of three.

In the first game, Hiji volunteered to play, and the opponent was a lobster-like monster with pincers.When Nio saw him, he couldn't help but think of seafood ramen, so he turned his head to ask about the old grievances between Byodoin and this team.

"Senior, do you know the monster over there?"

Byodoin narrowed its eyes and did not answer.

King Ni waited to hear the story but did not get an answer, somewhat disappointed.

On the field, Hiyoshi is posing to face his opponent.

He was a little in awe of monsters at first, and he had heard the elders in his family say many times about the cruelty of the Dark Martial Arts Conference.But now that he is on the court, he is more relaxed than he imagined.Because the opponent...

Really too familiar.

Facing this kind of monster with a very friendly appearance, he couldn't help being afraid.

"It's just that the pliers are enlarged dozens of times and it looks uncomfortable..." He whispered to himself, "Can I still eat grilled lobsters in the future?"

He pays attention.

coming!

"Iron pincers!" The large lobster that revealed its original shape had a pair of pincers, gathering its demonic aura into a ball of light and throwing it towards Riji.

Riji put on the posture of ancient martial arts, and his hands and feet covered with spiritual power sent the ball of light flying with a single blow.

But the light cluster was connected to the two pincers of the lobster, and continued to attack Hiji like lightning.

Hiji moved quickly.He used the tricks of ancient martial arts to continuously counterattack the lobster's attack, and approached while counterattacking.

"Go! Tear him apart!"

"Eat that human!"

The monsters in the auditorium were restless.

But the human expressions in the audience are subtle.

Hiji was already close.

He ponders the lobster's weakness.

pliers?

Obviously not.

back?

Is the point where the head connects to the body a weak point?

And belly and tail.

Where the tail joins the body—

Hiji approached quickly.He tugged at the lobster's tail, squeezing hard with both hands.

The lobster monster let out a shrill scream and flicked its tail vigorously.

Riji took this opportunity to jump up and stepped on the lobster's back.

The shell is very hard.

He punched the lobster on the head, and then reached out to cut off the "scales" at the junction of the head and body.

But a lobster that has become a monster is a thousand times tougher than an ordinary lobster.

He just felt his hand hurt.

Can't this work?Hiji narrowed his eyes.The lobster, which was constantly shaking his body and moving, made him unsteady.

No, I have to think of a way.If I let my brothers know that I lost to Lobster in the first round——

Will be laughed at for years!

"Let's go!" He jumped off the lobster and rolled.

The lobster approached quickly with its pincers in hand. While the lobster was lowering its pincers, he quickly rolled twice, grabbed the lobster's legs and smashed it on the lobster's belly.

is that useful?

Still so hard!

this shell...

not good!

Riji was almost crushed by Lobster on the fighting ring, and quickly let go of his hands to distance himself.

He got into a stalemate with the lobster.

And King Ni looked at such a scene, his heart was not fluctuated, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

how to say?

If you fight seafood...

He hugged the white fox in his arms: "Can he win?"

"You'll know if you don't see it later." The white fox said.
