"If you know this, get on board right away. You don't want to visit Yukinoshita's house in the middle of the night, do you? Oh, can you handle visiting three women's homes in the middle of the night?"
Luo Shu was too lazy to pay attention to her, but looked up at the night sky and said lazily:
"If I drive there now, it will be 8 or 9 pm by the time I get there. Can't I rest for a night?"
Luo Shu glanced at Mu Geng standing at the temporary port. The most important thing at the moment was to instill some common sense into this stupid little devil. Tachibana Kirika took out a cigarette pack and a lighter and said calmly:
"Of course you can rest for , but if you are any later, the Onmyoji guys might come into contact with them."
"Over there? The Yukinoshita family?" Luo Shu finally reacted: "Why is the Onmyoji Bureau?"
Upon hearing this, Ju Kirika sneered:
"Who do you think are the local forces that cooperate with local official departments to blockade Chiba?"
Luo Shu's eyes flickered when he heard this.
Under the cover of night, Chiba City Hospital ding dong!
The doorbell of the VIP ward rang.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who was peeling an apple for her father, immediately put down the knife and apple, stood up and walked towards the door.
After the door opened, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the black-haired girl in high school uniform in front of her in astonishment, and said in astonishment:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Chapter 126 Xingjia Baixue
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino. I am the Onmyoji of the Onmyoji Ryoku, Hoshiga Shirayuki. I apologize for the intrusion."
The cute black-haired girl stood at the door and bowed slightly.
"Onmyoji" Yukinoshita Yukino has heard of the name of Onmyoji, but wasn't this organization abolished during the Meiji era?
At this time, Hoshiga Shirayuki, who claimed to be a member of the Onmyoji Ryo, asked Yukinoshita Yukino:
"Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino, is your mother in the room?"
Seeing that Xingjia Baixue came up and looked for her mother, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately responded:
"Mother has gone to the attending doctor with my sister to inquire about the situation. It will probably take a while for her to come back."
"Is that so? That might bother me for a while."
After saying this, Hoshiga Shirayuki looked at Yukinoshita Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino understood what she meant, but she did not make way for Xingga Shirayuki to enter the ward. Instead, she frowned and asked:
"People from the Onmyoji Bureau, what do you want to talk to mother about?"
"It's about the 'secrecy rule' thing."
Xingjia Baixue's expression was gentle, but her tone was full of 04 unquestionable:
"Ms. Yukino must have come into contact with an 'evil spirit' that is beyond the normal scope. Oh, according to modern terms, it should be called a demon."
Yukinoshita Yukino's heart sank, and she immediately said with a stern face: "Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about."
Although Yukinoshita Yukino was not clear about the specific reason, she was aware that Mrs. Yukinoshita and her sister Haruno did not want the kidnapping to be exposed.
Yukinoshita Yukino even saw with her own eyes her mother and sister bribing Luo Shu, who was suspected to be an official. In this situation, she naturally subconsciously chose to deny it.
At that time, seeing the strange expression on Yukinoshita Yukino's face, Xingjia Baixue easily noticed the problem:
"If Ms. Yukino is worried about the SDS department, there is no need to worry. The Onmyoji has the same interests as the SDS in terms of confidentiality rules. In other words, the blockade of Chiba Prefecture was completed by us in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police Department and the garrison."
Hearing what Hoshiga Shirayuki said, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment.
The Onmyoji and the Metropolitan Police Department cooperated with the garrison to blockade Chiba Prefecture? At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly remembered that the surname Xingjia in Xingjia Shirayuki seemed to be the surname of a priest family in a large shrine near Chiba.
"Ms. Xingjia, you and Xingjia Shrine..."
Hearing Yukinoshita's question, Hoshiga Shirayuki smiled and said, "My family is the operator of Hoshiga Shrine. Well, in layman's terms, it's the so-called priest family."
Temples and shrines in island countries can be run by families, and their main sources of income generally come from "cemetery fees", "ritual fees", "donations" and other aspects.
As a large landowner occupying several mountain ranges, the Hoshiga Shrine is quite famous for its cemeteries and rituals.
At least Yukinoshita Yukino had heard the name of this shrine more than once, so she remembered it the first time.
However, at this moment, Yukino suddenly remembered that her parents seemed to have discussed before that local shrines, temples and the Metropolitan Police Department had been cooperating frequently in recent years.
Shrines and temples occasionally hold a ceremony that requires the area to be blocked off, and the Metropolitan Police Department often invites shrine personnel to the Metropolitan Police Department to pray for official personnel.
The two sides have grown closer over the years, to the point where city councillors couldn’t help but criticize police officers’ faith issues several times.
In addition, in recent years, it has become common for multiple shrines to raise funds to build new shrines in areas where there are no shrines.
In this regard, the Yukinoshita family has undertaken the construction of the shrine several times, but later, it seemed inexplicably kicked out as a partner by the shrine's own construction company. The father felt very sorry for it at the time and said something like "the shrine is very generous with money."
So, the local shrine, no, should I say, the priest's family has been cooperating with the Metropolitan Police Department to block the related mysterious incidents?
Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze towards Hoshiga Shirayuki became a little subtle.
So, has this kind of existence always existed in the world?
Just when Yukinoshita Yukino's world views were being reshaped, a calling voice sounded in their ears.
“Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Hoshiga Shirayuki turned their heads at the same time and immediately saw Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yukinoshita Yukino holding their mother's hand.
Who is this? "Yukinoshita Haruno released her mother's hand, walked forward curiously, looked at Xingjia Baixue and said, "Are Baixue-chan and Yukino friends?"
"No, this is..." Yukinoshita Yukino was about to explain, but then she realized something was wrong: "Shirayuki-chan?"
Xingjia Baixue turned around, bowed to the two of them and said:
"Greetings, Aunt Yukinoshita, and Xiaoyangno."
When greeting Yukinoshita Haruno, seeing her eager expression, Hoshiga Shirayuki showed a helpless expression:
"I know you have a lot to ask, Yang No, but this doesn't seem to be the right place."
"Yang No, please accompany Shirayuki to the lounge." Mrs. Yukinoshita called out softly when she heard this.
"I know, Mom."
Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head to look at her father who was sleeping soundly in the room, and then said to Xingjia Baixue:
“Shirayuki, let’s go to the lounge and talk, and Yukino, you come too.
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Hoshiga Shirayuki who had already caught up with Yono, and followed with a lot of questions in her mind.
Except for 663 who took care of Mr. Yukinoshita's wife, the three of them came to the hospital's VIP room which was specially arranged for the Yukinoshita family's accompanying personnel to spend the night and sat down on the sofa.
After briefly greeting the two, Xingjia Baixue said to them:
"Although I'm a little late, Yang Nori, you and your aunt should have encountered it, right? The life called the devil."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled helplessly:
"My mother and I both guessed that since such a terrifying person exists, it is impossible for a shrine with such a long tradition to be without such a person."
"Auntie is still as smart as ever."
Xingjia Baixue seemed to have anticipated this. After sighing, she said:
"According to the confidentiality rules, all non-official personnel involved in mysterious events will have their memories blocked. Sorry, Yang No, I have no ability to stop this, unless..."
"Unless something." Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she thought of a possibility.
"Unless the Yukinoshita family joins." Before Xingjia Baixue could finish her words, there was a knock on the door.
Then, the three of them heard a click, and the person outside the door walked in uninvited, stepped into the room and said:
"Tsk tsk, in a sense it really was a close call!"

Chapter 127: The Fight Between Ladies
Luo Shu, who was standing at the door, glanced at the three girls sitting on the U-shaped sofa in the middle of the room, and his brows jumped slightly:
"At times like this, shouldn't I say 'I came at the right time?'
"Um... excuse me for disturbing you." Kigen quietly peeked in from outside the door, then slipped in and closed the door.
"You are..." Xingjia Baixue subconsciously put her hands on her waist. When she was about to say something, she saw Luo Shu taking out an official certificate. Seeing this, Xingjia Baixue was silent for a moment, and took out the certificate with Luo Shu in the same frame from somewhere.
"Oh? Looks like he's one of us!"
Luo Shu smiled when he saw this, then led Mu Geng to the empty sofa, sat down, and said:
"Mind if I join in the conversation?"
Yukinoshita Haruno did not say anything, but looked at Hoshiga Shirayuki.
".Don't mind."
Xingjia Baixue was silent for a moment and then replied, and then asked:
"SDS?"
"'Secret Management Department' Luo Shu." Luo Shu said with a smile the name of the department that had just been determined.
Xingjia Baixue frowned upon hearing this and said:
"I've never heard of the SDS or the Secret Management Department."
"You've heard it now." After saying this, Luo Shu smiled and asked, "By the way, you are Miss Xingjia Baixue, right?"
"......It's me." Xingjia Baixue's expression was a little unnatural. She always felt that Luo Shu opposite her seemed to be very familiar with her, but she didn't feel any impact at all.
"The Onmyoji of the Onmyoji Bureau, the divine general Suzaku, and a candidate for a national-level sorcerer.
"She is good at fire magic and divination. Her swordsmanship style is Xingjia Houtianliu. Her real name is Himiko. She is a descendant of Himiko, the queen of the ancient island country Yamatai."
“I never thought I would be able to meet him today.”
Xingjia Baixue's hair almost stood up when she heard these words. She barely suppressed the urge to use the knife and said:
....Your intelligence capabilities are commendable.
Xingjia Jinja is a descendant of Himiko. Even only her parents knew that she inherited the name of Himiko. How did the people from SDS know about it?
Luo Shu crossed his legs and said with a smile:
"After all, he is one of the Twelve Divine Generals and a candidate for a national-level sorcerer. Naturally, I should store more information."
"By the way, you are also Yue-chan's disciple, right?
"Eh....Teacher Nazuki? No, I'm just a student in Teacher Nazuki's class." "............"
.
Xingjia Baixue responded subconsciously, and then suddenly thought of something and looked at Luo Shu with a strange expression:
"What about Yue-chan? Is she also a disciple?"
"I am her student now." Luo Shu tried to establish a relationship with her.
When Xingjia Baixue heard this, she suddenly realized something and even relaxed her guard a lot:
"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you Mr. Na Yue's student at SDS?"
"That's right." Luo Shu nodded in acknowledgement, and then said: "Although it's a bit presumptuous, I just heard your conversation."
"But I just secretly installed soundproofing...Okay, I get it."
Xingjia Baixue couldn't help but cover her face after saying this:
"The first lesson of Mr. Na Yue is 'Analysis of Breaking the Spell'... Sorry, I am an unqualified disciple."
Isn't the first lesson a general knowledge lesson? Luo Shu looked at the crying Xingjia Baixue dumbfounded, and then thought that it seemed that because their foundation was too poor, they were taking a general knowledge lesson.
This...this is a bit embarrassing.
Luo Shu's face twitched a few times, and then he said:
"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Sister Xingjia is planning to have the Yukinoshita family send people to join the Xingjia Shrine, so as to avoid the Onmyoji's 'secrecy rules' and not erase the corresponding memories of the Yukinoshita family, right?"
Luo Shu called Xingjia Baixue "senior sister" on his own initiative, trying to get closer to them, while going deeper into the core topic.
