On the degree of compatibility between Guardian Egg and Yokohama

Suzuki Aoi did not agree to the request of the castellan's wife.

First of all, reversing the yin and yang of life and death will definitely pay a price-just like the situation faced by Kikyo after being awakened, it needs to rely on dead souls to maintain action.

But in this world, there is no jade of the four souls that can offset the price of resurrection, and can only use the lives of others to achieve the goal-sacrifice living souls as nutrients, and dozens of lives can be exchanged for one person to be resurrected.

Moreover, the memory of the dead soul is difficult to preserve. Even if it is really resurrected, after absorbing the power of so many living souls, the memory will be disordered, and even if it is resurrected, it will no longer be the same person as before.

So Suzuki Aoi couldn't agree to the request of the castellan's wife, but seeing Suzuki Aoi's refusal, the castellan's wife didn't continue to pester her, but showed empathy.

The beautiful woman stood up again, and sat down opposite Suzuki Aoi, "It was forced by my concubine."

Suzuki Aoi nodded slightly at her, "Sorry."

The woman sighed softly, "Today's matter, please keep it a secret for me, sir."

Suzuki Aoi stared at her for a long time, then nodded slightly.

The wife of the mayor is a reasonable beauty, even if she was rejected, she did not retaliate, let alone forcibly seize and persecute her.

Walking out of the door, Aoi Suzuki paused in her footsteps, and looked sideways into the depths of the corridor—there seemed to be something inside.

"Sir, come this way."

The waiter's words brought her back to her senses, and when she felt it carefully again, the ominous and gloomy aura had disappeared.

Suzuki Aoi withdrew her gaze and followed the footsteps of the waiter.

The road paved with stone slabs is very smooth, even if you close your eyes and walk forward, you will not be tripped.

She thought back to the brief meeting with the castellan's wife just now.

For a stranger like her, the lady seemed to trust her too much—the taboo of wanting to resurrect the dead was so generously told to her, and after the request was rejected, she only verbally asked for secrecy, and did not take other measures.

It's as if this is just a very simple little thing, and there is no need to resort to tricks.

Furthermore, during this period of time, she basically went into the forest of the northern border every day, and she never heard any rumors about the spirit grass from those monsters.

If such treasures really existed, the forest would not be as peaceful as it is now—every big monster would stay in its own territory peacefully without interfering with each other.

Is that lady defenseless, or is she planning something?

Suzuki Aoi is more inclined to the latter.

In other words, she didn't know enough about the forest in the north.She came to this monster's forest for only one purpose, and that was to gather herbs.The forest of monsters is huge, and of course there will be many secrets, which she still doesn't know at the moment.

Furthermore, the room at the back of the corridor caught her attention.

The waiter led Suzuki Aoi to the bullock cart, "My lord, please."

Suzuki Aoi rejected him, "I want to go to the market to buy something, don't bother me."

After that, she will hire a car to go back to the village by herself.

The man was also happy to relax, "Then I'll go back and report back. The market is not far from here. Do you know the way?"

Suzuki Aoi nodded, "There is no need to lead the way."

When she came to the city lord's mansion, the ox cart happened to pass by the market, and she knew the way.Besides, her purpose is not as simple as going to the market.

After walking on the street for a while, after confirming that no one was following her, Suzuki Aoi said to the dryad wrapped around her arm

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion and show me the room deep in the corridor where the lady lives."

Hearing this, the dryad separated a small tree branch that was only as long as the index finger from the main body, gave birth to two legs and ran back quickly, and disappeared from Suzuki Aoi's sight after a while.

The tree demon said, "The vision of □□ is shared with me."

Suzuki Aoi asked "Can you share it with me?"

The dryad hesitated for a moment, then said in deliberation, "I'll try."

Suzuki Aoi only felt that his eyes became extremely cool, and then another picture appeared in front of his eyes - the vision of the twigs running wildly on the ground.

It's like a video recorded by a camera tied around the neck of a cat or a dog.

The twig's vision is there, but the road in front of him can't be seen.

It seems that she and the dryad's vision cannot coexist, and they can only choose one.

"Wait until the city lord's mansion and then start sharing."

"learn."

The tree demon withdrew the demonic power covering Suzuki Aoi's eyes, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief - for demon exterminators, being contaminated with demonic power is obviously something they hate.

And her contractor didn't seem to care about it at all.

Suzuki Aoi walked to a restaurant and sat down.

This is a ramen restaurant, and the smell of tonkotsu soup fills the small restaurant and leaks out through the cracks in the curtains.

After ordering the store's signature tonkotsu ramen, I waited quietly for the news from Xiaozhi.

Because the whole body is covered, Suzuki Aoi's outfit looks weird to others, and considering the recent messages in the city, some people have guessed her identity.

Besides the exorcising master from the free clinic in Beicun, who else in the city would be dressed like this?

Suzuki Aoi had no time to pay attention to their gazes, because the vision sharing with Twig had been turned on again.

The twig shrunk itself down to the size of a needle, and then slipped through the gap into a dark room—the residence of the castellan's wife, the room at the end of the corridor.

The large lights cannot carry the heavy burden of lighting the whole room, but the dryad's eyes can see at night, even in places where there is no light, they can still see clearly the shape inside.

Twig looked around, and the dryad concluded "It's an empty room, but there are a few steps in front, which is strange."

Suzuki Aoi "Go up and have a look."

Twig walked forward obediently, bouncing up to the top of the steps.

Lowering his head, he saw that the platform was covered with runes, which made the dryad frown.

"The things you demon masters like."

Suzuki Aoi frowned slightly at the unfamiliar runes, "I've never seen such a pattern before."

But even if there was no such pattern in her memory, her intuition told her that it was not a good thing, and her right eyelid twitched.

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared on the platform out of thin air.

Suzuki Aoi's eyes went dark, and when her eyes gathered again, she only saw a big thick hand holding a bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen in front of her eyes.

The view of the twig was gone.

The dryad said, "The link is broken."

The only thing Xiaozhi shares with Suzuki Aoi is vision, and she doesn't know any other senses. For the specific details, she has to ask the tree demon "that black mist"

"It wanted to devour my life force, but I ran away quickly and didn't allow it to succeed."

"Life force" Suzuki Aoi tapped the table with her index finger, "Is the soul alive?"

"This is what you exorcists said." The tree demon did not deny it, and said his guess "at that moment"

She recalled the scene just now, "Those runes seem to be alive."

"These runes are connected to the outside and also to the black mist, but they 'live' after the black mist appears."

Without continuing to ask, Suzuki Aoi analyzed the answer given by the dryad, and didn't even pick up the chopsticks.

If the rune is connected to the outside, there must be a corresponding 'mark' where it connects outside.She wanted the dryad to branch out and go to the city lord's mansion to investigate.

Just as she was about to speak, a familiar voice sounded from the side

“Ramen doesn’t taste as good when it’s cold.”

Suzuki Aoi came back to her senses, and looked sideways at the owner of the voice.

The black-haired young man looked at her with a smile

"Won't the hood come off?"

Not taking off the hat, not holding the chopsticks, and not putting the food into the mouth when the hot soup is about to cool down, it is really an unqualified diner.

Suzuki Aoi's tense body relaxed—the person who was planning to take the time to look for it appeared in front of her.

She took off her veiled hat, "Long time no see, Mr. Xia You."

This familiar tone made Xia Youjie feel a little puzzled - although he probably guessed that the person in front of him was the exorcist named Kui from Beicun's free clinic, but in his memory, there was indeed no trace of this person's existence.

After all, the bald hair style will indeed leave a deeper impression on people - not to mention that this exorcist is still a woman.

However, the girl's voice was indeed somewhat familiar.

"you are?"

Xia Youjie's reaction made Suzuki Aoi a little puzzled. After all, even though he was wearing a mask, the short meeting on Leibo Street must have left a relatively deep impression on the other party.

Just like this, there was a moment of silent silence, Suzuki Aoi stroked her bare head belatedly, and then sighed softly.

"It's me, Mr. Xia You." Under the surprised eyes of the other party, she took off the mask, "Suzuki Aoi."

In the beautiful courtyard, the black-haired young man set his sights on the girl's bare head, and the corners of his mouth never let go.

"So in order to avoid being regarded as a monster, you simply shaved off all your hair?"

Suzuki Aoi nodded, "That's right."

Although I don't know why, but her behavior of shaving her head seems to have stepped on Xia Youjie's laughing point.

Then, she set her eyes on the other party's black hair.

Xia Youjie's hair color is very good, it perfectly blends into this time and space, making Suzuki Aoi somewhat envious.Although she doesn't regret cutting her hair, if she can keep that blonde hair, of course she would.

It's time to divert the other party's attention from her bald head.

She asked, "How did Mr. Xia You come to this time and space?"

When it came to business, Xia Youjie slightly restrained the smile on his face, and some dull things were squeezed into the original relaxed atmosphere.

After rescuing the children who were treated as experimental subjects in Italy, Gojo Gojo asked him to go to the old place to chat after returning to Japan.He neither refused nor agreed.

But when I got off the plane and returned to Japan, I was walking on the road, but suddenly stepped on the ground and fell into this time and space.

According to Wujo Satoru's character, that guy would angrily call him a coward.After all, in this time and space, he couldn't keep the appointment.

He was indeed not ready to meet Gojo Satoru again, but this forced 'escape' made him even more unhappy.

Suzuki Aoi asked "Do you want to go back?"

Xia Youjie was silent, his eyes fell on the branches covered with snowflakes.

After a long time, he looked sideways at Aoi Suzuki, "Do you know how to go back?"

"I'm working on a mission." Before confirming whether the young man can become an ally, Suzuki Aoi didn't want to reveal too much. "After completion, the world will send me back."

She looked at Xia Youjie, "You should be able to go back with me, if you want."

Hongxia has already hung in the sky.

"It's getting late." Suzuki Aoi stood up and bid him farewell, "I live in Beicun, so come find me when you've made up your mind."
