Chapter 189: The Usui Spirit
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Every individual knew that the internet was a world formed by 0 and 1. But what was the world inside the internet, perhaps no one could imagine it. Nonetheless, the Natsume family and Ikioi Ito saw it now.
The world of the internet was not constant. With the rapid movement of the shadows, all the scenes change rapidly. But no matter how much it had changed, the themes of the internet world were still ‘dead and tedious’.
Kimura Kazuki frowned slightly. It seemed like the demon was not hosted in a specific internet environment, but could freely move around the internet. It would be a difficult situation...
He initially thought that since the other party stayed on the internet but was unable to get rid of it, as long as the soul was out of the body, he could still enter into the internet using some special sorcery. However, if the demon could move around on the internet, apart from the issue of whether the demon could be found, even though he found that demon, that demon would still be able to escape immediately.
This made Kimura Kazuki’s frown deepened. Looking at Mitsue Natsume, with a polite tone, he asked, “Mr. Natsume, can you determine the specific location of this wraith?”
Mitsue Natsume replied, “In Tokyo, but the specific location can only be determined if it stays still. Otherwise, it will be hard to determine the exact location of this wraith if it continues to stay on the internet.”
Kimura Kazuki nodded his head, for this was the truth.
They kept staring at the plate and wanted to know when this demon would stop moving. Kimura Kazuki would ask Mitsue Natsume every single minute to acquire the approximate location of the demon.
After 15 minutes, the scene on the plate suddenly disappeared. Mitsue Natsume felt apologetic and said, “My tracing skills can only last for 15 minutes. When the
time is over, it will be interrupted.”
Kimura Kazuki nodded his head, showing that he understood and did not insist on tracing the demon further.
In his mind, he was sure that the demon could only carry out its activity on the internet in Tokyo. This was based on the answer given by Mitsue Natsume when he asked him about the approximate location, and all of it was in Tokyo.
Which also means that... there is a huge possibility that this demon had died in Tokyo. Thinking of it, Kimura Kazuki looked at Ikioi Ito. He knew that the tracking skills of Mitsue Natsume was well known in certain circles and definitely would have people to seek help from him. Since this was a transaction, it was thus necessary for both parties to pay for the corresponding prices.
Seeing that Kimura Kazuki was looking at him, Ikioi Ito knew intuitively. He took out the bank card from his pocket and placed it on the table, without any reluctance and grudge, he said, “Mr Natsume, here are five million in the card, and the password is 123456. I presume that there is no change in your charge fees.”
“No...” Mitsue Natsume smiled. He looked at Kimura Kazuki, hesitated for a while, and accepted the card in the end.
In fact, he did not want to charge them. After all, it was much better and stronger if he could get to know Kimura Kazuki, who was a powerful cultivator that owed him a favor.
Five minutes later, Kimura Kazuki said goodbye to the Natsume family.
Ikioi Ito also left quickly after parting ways with Kimura Kazuki as he had sneaked out from his house. Although his dad did not punish him for breaking the rules during the competition, he set a curfew for him. Thus, he was not allowed to wander around at night.
Kimura Kazuki stood there long after Ikioi Ito had left, thinking of the five million yen that had been used just now. His lips could not help but twitch. He would definitely not use the money that belonged to Ikioi Ito, but now he did not have enough money, so he would have to owe Ikioi Ito first and will repay him in the future.
As Ikioi Ito disappeared from sight, Kimura Kazuki did not go home just yet.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the Spirit District. Soon, he reached Usui Shrine.
Usui Shrine was an ordinary shrine that looked a bit shabby when compared with other shrines in Tokyo.
The difference between Usui Shrine and the other shrines was that Usui Shrine was enshrined to a Land Deity.
Japan was a multi-religious country, and the shrine belonged to Shinto belief. Therefore, most of the Shrines consecrated Seven Fortunes Deity, Grain Deity, Water Deity, and many more.
Of course, Kimura Kazuki was not here for worship purposes. He was here to meet the Usui Spirit. The Usui Spirit belonged to the superior demon among the demons and ghosts. It was also the only spirit in Tokyo that had self-awareness in the non-recuperation of the reiki era.
Ordinary people would categorize this kind of superior demon as the Land Deity.
In the recuperation of the reiki era, there were many famous mountains in Huaxia that birthed the sense of autonomy and self-awareness. They all have their own way of thinking. After counting and adding it up, the spiritual school would classify such creatures as superior demons, collectively known as land spirits.
The land spirit usually resided in its own land and would become more powerful over time, incorporating the land under its own rule.
The jurisdiction was not based on what the spirit said, but it depended on who had the real ability to control and manage.
During the recuperation of the reiki era in Tokyo, Japan, Usui Spirit had powerful strength, and it governed all the land, mountains, and rivers in Tokyo. Usui Shrine also became the first Shrine in Japan that was visited by countless people.
However, no one had cleaned Usui Shrine in a long time. Thus, the environment of the entire shrine was grayish, a bit gloomy and horrible, especially at night.
Kimura Kazuki did not care about this. When he arrived at Usui Shrine, he saw a considerable wood carving in front of him.
The wood carving in front of him looked like an old man with a goatee, an amiable face, gentle eyes, and was showing a benevolent smile.
“Usui, come out!” Kimura Kazuki shouted lightly. The reiki inside the body jolted slightly and moved toward the huge wood carvings.
“Which b*stard dares disturb me from my rest? Believe it or not, I will curse you!” In less than a few seconds, an aged voice mixed with a modern tone was heard.
Soon, a white light emerged from the wood carving and slowly turned into a land spirit that looked similar to the wood carving.
The Usui Spirit yawned and looked at Kimura Kazuki. When it felt the strong, imposing manner from him, it suddenly felt uneasy. It put away its impatient look, and used a more rigorous attitude, floating down slightly before standing in front of Kimura Kazuki. It bowed slightly at him and said, “Dear formidable cultivator, is there anything that I can help you with?” Looking at the Usui Spirit, who only reached his waist, Kimura Kazuki smiled and said, “You can just call me Kimura. My purpose for summoning you was because I needed your help to look for someone.”
After hearing the reason Kimura Kazuki gave him, the Usui Spirit felt relieved and said, “This is an easy task. May I know who is the person that Master Kimura is looking for?”
Kimura Kazuki took out a photo, which was captured by Mitsue Natsume on the plate just now.
After taking the photo, the Usui Spirit saw a lady with an exquisite face. He nodded and said, “Master Kimura, do you have any other information other than this photo, such as the name of this lady, height, and family members? Oh! Right... Master Kimura, my ability of tracing will only be effective within the Tokyo area. If it is out of Tokyo, then it is no longer under my jurisdiction. If the lady is in another area, I might not be able to trace
her.” The Usui Spirit thought that the lady was missing, Kimura Kazuki was asking for his help in his search for her.
“This woman is dead. I am looking for is her corpse.”
The Usui Spirit was shocked the moment it listened to the request.
