Although the fish demon's howl was a bit harsh, Yukinoshita Yukino still tried to adapt. After all, this would be her 'daily life':
"Was the fish recently delivered to Minister Fujiwara?"
Luo Shu casually explained after hearing this:
"It was sent by the old Fujiwara clan leader in Kyoto. According to their explanation, it should have been received yesterday afternoon. Minister Fujiwara even cleaned the fish tank several times for this."
"So, the problem is in Kyoto...Should we notify the operations department there?"
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's question, Luo Shu just shook his head and then smiled:
"Isn't there a simpler solution?"
As he spoke, Luo Shu slowly stepped forward, stepped on one of the fish monster's hands, and stopped the monster from rolling.
In an instant, the disaster was absorbed by Luo Shu again, and the fish monster, which was in great pain, returned to normal instantly, but still stayed in the same place with cold sweat on its forehead.
"If you want to suffer less, I ask and you answer!"
0 ...... ...
After saying this, Luo Shu asked without waiting for the fish demon's consent:
"Who is the monster who ordered you to lurk in the Fujiwara family?"
The fish demon said nothing.
"Pretending to be dead?" Luo Shu frowned and fired another 'Ureteral Spasm'.
Suddenly, the fish demon screamed again, but when he saw Luo Shu's cold eyes, he stopped screaming and said through gritted teeth:
"Lord Ye Wang will avenge me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fish demon's body shook, and his eyes became blurred again, as if covered by a shadow.
"Ye King?!!"
When Luo Shu heard this description, his heart was shocked.
Having met Fast, a character with the background of Shaman King, he knew too well who Ye Wang was.
A great Onmyoji from a thousand years ago, a 'monster' who could freely control life and death and reincarnate at will.
A bug-ridden warrior so powerful that even the author cannot handle him and has to be forcibly taken offline. His status in Shaman King is like that of Yoriichi Tsugumi in Demon Slayer.
Why would such a monster target the Fujiwara family? Could it be that because of the last name Fujiwara, Fujiwara is inferior to others?
But Fujiwara no Fuhito and Asakura Yeou are not from the same era, right?
Just when Luo Shu was confused, Yukinoshita Yukino came up and asked curiously:
"Who is Ye Wang?"
"A difficult man."
Luo Shu replied with a serious expression and said:
"Help me take the fish scales, blood, and part of the body. I want to use the Encyclopedia of Mysticism to do divination."
Speaking of this, Luo Shu muttered to himself:
"If it's really that Ye Wang, then things will be troublesome."
Chapter 259: Fraud, Truth, Feathered Fox
【The Nightborne will return soon.】
A deep and steady male voice said so.
[You Kyoto monsters should devote your strength to the return of the Night Child and offer everything you have. ]
After that, the deep male voice said coldly:
[Go collect the lady's information. The return of the Night Child requires the lady's liver. ]
【For our One Hundred Demons Night Parade! 】
【For our One Hundred Demons Night Parade!!!】xN
Suddenly, the hazy picture disappeared, Luo Shu suddenly opened his eyes and got up from the sofa in the office.
At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was still rubbing her hands to remove the foam and cleaning the fishy smell of the fish she had just killed, paused for a moment and said in surprise:
"Did you get any information from divination?"
"I did predict something." Luo Shu scratched his head and said sarcastically, "I was actually tricked by a little monster."
"What do you mean?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked in confusion.
"The person behind the fish monster is not the troublesome person Makura Ye Wang, but the One Hundred Demons Night Parade in Kyoto."
Speaking of this, Luo Shu himself laughed:
"That fish monster was quite loyal. Before he died, he called on someone he had only heard of by name to help him avenge himself."
"Hey, using your life to divert attention is pretty good!"
After listening to Luo Shu's explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino was also quite surprised:
"So, actually, that monster was working for the monsters in Kyoto, but after being caught by us, he would rather commit suicide than mislead others and pin the blame on the man called 'Ye Wang'."
"Yes." Luo Shu nodded and complained: "The fish demon just heard the big demon in Kyoto mention King Makura Ye and knew that he was a big shot, so he just mentioned it today."
"Tsk, you made me worry for a long time. It turns out that there is no incident with King Makura Ye. Oh no, there is indeed something about him, but he is the victim."
At this point, Luo Shu didn't know what to say.
On the one hand, the matter did not involve a tricky person like Asakura Ye Wang, on the other hand, such a tricky person actually exists in this world.
This is a bit troublesome.
According to the 'setting' of Asakura Yewang, that guy not only has mastered Yin-Yang magic to the extreme and can even resurrect the dead, but also controls the soul fire of the five great spirits produced by the great soul similar to the will of the planet. He is almost a BUG character, and it is hard to say whether he is on par with a demigod.
Even if this kind of existence is not an enemy at the moment, it is still someone who must be treated with caution.
After understanding what Luo Shu meant, and knowing that the Asakura Leaf King that Luo Shu feared was not an enemy, Yukinoshita Yukino was still very confused, and what puzzled her was the behavior of the Kyoto monster:
"But why would the monsters in Kyoto target the minister?"
"Normally speaking, the monsters that have been recruited should be the ones who least want to provoke official personnel, right?"
After hearing this, Luo Shu pondered for a moment and said:
"Because of the raw liver, and because of a person."
"Who?"
"Abe Haruaki." Luo Shu said a name that Yukinoshita Yukino was familiar with.
He was also a great Onmyoji who lived thousands of years ago, the man who invented the five-pointed star Kikyo seal, and a prominent Onmyoji figure who was proficient in astronomy, geography, astrology, and shikigami.
Although the Fujiwara family being targeted by such a person is better than being targeted by Asakura Ye Wang, it is not much better.
"Abe Haruaki?!!" Yukinoshita Yukino exclaimed slightly, but she became more and more confused.
Why is it related to the legendary son of the white fox?
At this time, Luo Shu glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino and explained to her:
"The Hundred Demons of Kyoto are also called the Hagoromo Group. Their leader is the great demon Hagoromo Kitsune on the surface, but secretly, he is the commander-in-chief Abe Haruaki."
"However, since Abe Haruaki has long passed away, it is actually his mother, Yuyuko, who is in charge."
"And the core purpose of the mother of the Hagoromo group should be to revive Abe Haruaki. To do this, the Hagoromo fox needs to be the mother again to give birth to this great Onmyoji."
Having said this, Luo Shu paused, and said with a slightly unnatural look:
"The Hagoromo Group believes in the culture of raw liver, and if they want to give birth to Abe Haruaki again, they naturally need a lot of nutrition."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino's face suddenly turned purple:
“Raw liver culture?”
"The kind of 'cannibalism' belief that believes in gaining strength by swallowing livers?"
Her hobby is reading, and she even obtained the job of "Knowledge Demon" because of Luo Shu. Yukinoshita Yukino's reaction to knowledge is very quick.
Almost instantly, I 'thought of' the origin and situation of the belief in raw liver. ....
In general, the belief in raw liver is actually a "demonized" version of the folk diet therapy of "like cures like".
In the eyes of monsters, the three most essential parts of humans are the brain, liver and heart.
As nutritional supplements, liver and heart are the most effective.
Therefore, the monsters' belief in raw liver is to eat human liver and heart to supplement their own nutrition, which is "replenishing the body with like" in the eyes of monsters.
Thinking of this alienated thought, Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned pale.
At this time, Luo Shu also silently added:
"In folklore, there seems to be a saying that the raw liver of a noble lady from a prominent family has the highest nutritional value."
At that moment, Yukinoshita Yukino understood what Luo Shu meant.
The reason why the fish demon lurked in the Fujiwara family was simple, to collect raw livers for the Feathered Fox. The source of the raw livers was naturally the three noble granddaughters of the former prime minister and the daughters of the current minister of the Fujiwara family.
By analogy, this is equivalent to the liver of the shogun's granddaughter.
It really is 'the lady's raw liver'.
"How can such a thing be possible..."
Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to stop this kind of thing. No matter what, eating people was really a bit beyond her worldview.
Seeing her like this, Luo Shu comforted her:
"Don't worry for now. The Hagoromo Group in Kyoto is still in the stage of looking for targets, and the situation has not gotten out of control yet."
"Besides, since we know the situation, the Feathered Corps will naturally have to deal with it. It's nothing more than exposing the matter and letting the higher-ups put pressure on us, or we can just do it ourselves."
When Luo Shu said this, his expression became a little strange:
"However, according to the personalities of those bigwigs, if this matter were really exposed, I'm afraid none of those parliamentarians and ministers would allow the monster to target the livers of their female relatives, right?"
If there really is such a politician who is willing to sacrifice his wife and daughter, then Luo Shu can only admire him, saying, "You are indeed an islander."
After Luo Shu's explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino calmed down and regained her rationality.
“Should we report it?”
"Let's notify them internally first. I'll contact the Operations Department and the Intelligence Department."
Luo Shu said with great emotion at this time:
"Hagoromo Group, Abe Haruaki's resurrection... one thing leads to another!"
Chapter 260 Don’t Check If You Can
The Secret Management Department is located on the third floor, in Luo Shu’s office.
"Sorry for having to call you for a video conference at this late hour."
Luo Shu, who was sitting on the sofa, apologized to the 'Ju Wuxiang' displayed on the laptop in front of him.
On the screen, Ju Kirika looked at her watch, then crossed her legs and said indifferently:
"It doesn't matter. It's only 8 o'clock now. For me, it's just the time to get ready for work."
After saying that, Tachibana Kirika turned her head and shouted to the side:
"Kumi, have you completed the encryption of the communication?"
At this time, outside the screen, Walnut's silly voice sounded:
[OK~ You can talk freely now. ]
"Very good." Tachibana Kirika nodded, then turned her head and said to Luo Shu: "Yukinoshita is next to you, right?"
"I'm here, Minister Tachibana."
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting on the sofa next to Luo Shu, came over after hearing what she said. In order to facilitate entry, she simply sat next to Luo Shu and asked:
"Any questions?"
