First.
After the typhoon warning was canceled, the hospital returned to normal operations.
As the daughter of the Himiya family, Mizuki Takemiya naturally stayed in the intensive care unit.
"Your daughter's condition has stabilized. She should wake up soon." Outside the ward, the doctor in charge of Mizuki Takemiya's treatment said to the tall and thin middle-aged man in front of him, "But to be able to survive such a tragic plane crash and only suffer some superficial wounds, it can be considered a miracle."
"Thank you for your concern. You can go do your work. I'll take care of her myself," the tall and thin middle-aged man said in a rather formal way.
"Then I won't disturb you, Mr. Himiya."
The doctor hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided not to offend the head of the Himiya family, who was in the limelight, and left with a few nurses.
After their figures disappeared around the corner, the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned cold.
He opened the door and walked into the luxurious intensive care unit. Looking at the girl lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed and her breathing steady, he snorted coldly.
"The famous Minamoto Gensei is nothing more than this. He couldn't even kill a little girl."
As a master of disguise and disguise, his strength was generally not too strong. Not to mention other things, just the Yin-Yang Masters of the Himiya family who were hired by his predecessor from the Yin-Yang Shitao could easily kill him. Therefore, he was most afraid of his identity being exposed.
After learning from Minamoto Gensei that Mizuki Takemiya had begun to suspect him, he got rid of some of the people who were asked by Mizuki Takemiya to investigate.
He didn't expect that as the main culprit, Mizuki Takemiya, not only did not die in the plane crash, but also mysteriously returned to Japan.
Naturally, this made him a little uneasy.
"Hmph, if you didn't pursue the truth and acted like a good child, maybe I wouldn't have done anything to you … Now, it's a pity that your face is gone."
The man sneered coldly in a low voice.
As a practitioner, he naturally wouldn't use a clumsy method to get rid of Concubine Ruixi, who was a thorn in his side.
He stretched out his hand, and a white creature that looked like a ferret but had a pointy head like a fox came out of his sleeve like a wisp of smoke.
Guan Hu.
For a Spirit-branded Retainer, this was a relatively inferior species. It was even inferior to Xu Shenxing's spirit ghosts. For an ordinary practitioner, it was not much more difficult to treat a Spirit-branded Fox than to kill a mosquito.
However, as a low-level Spirit-branded Retainer, the Guan Hu was easy to raise, easy to control, and had many different abilities. For ordinary people who didn't have Astral Vision, the Guan Hu was more than enough to kill them.
Unlike ordinary Spirit-branded Retainers, Guan Foxes had almost no physical attack power. The only way they could kill humans was to possess them and suck their life force like parasites.
The disadvantage was that this method of killing humans took a long time to take effect, and it was easy to fail once discovered. The advantage was that the Guan Hu was easy to use, and almost every Onmyoji had a Guan Hu. Even if an expert knew that the victim was killed by a Guan Hu, they wouldn't be able to determine who the murderer was.
Currently, Mizuki Takemiya was in a deep sleep. Even if her life force was sucked away, she wouldn't notice it due to physical discomfort like an ordinary person. She would definitely die in her sleep.
However, something happened that shocked the middle-aged man.
Just as his Guan Hu was about to possess Mizuki Takemiya, it seemed to plunge into a sea of fire. Its entire body suddenly burst into flames, and after a few screams that ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear, it was reduced to ashes right in front of the middle-aged man's eyes!
"What … what's going on!?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't understand what had just happened.
What was even more unexpected was that the sudden change alarmed another existence in the room.
The ghost spirit named Xiaosi by Xu Shenxing watched everything coldly from the ceiling. Then, it disappeared into the ceiling. Just like that, it left the hospital and flew in the direction of the Shiranui Shrine …
"Damn it, could it be that my predecessor left some sort of protective measure on this stinky girl?" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth as he looked at the sleeping girl with a peaceful expression. "No wonder Minamoto Mori Seijin didn't kill this brat directly …"
Unfortunately, he was overthinking. The reason why his Guan Hu couldn't affect the girl was that the protection that Xu Shenxing casually cast on Mizuki Takemiya was still in effect. Minamoto Mori Seijin didn't kill the girl directly probably because he wanted to satisfy his villainous desires.
"If the shikigami can't do it, then I can only use spells …"
The middle-aged man took out a palm-sized parchment scroll from his pocket. He removed the rubber band on it and unfolded it. Then, he chanted the runes on the parchment.
This was a treasure that he obtained after assassinating a famous collector. It was said that he found it in the underground ruins of the Navia Peninsula. After passing through many hands, it fell into the hands of the collector.
The parchment scroll itself was a supernatural item. According to the classification of supernatural items by the Livonian Knights, this thing should be a black magic item. As long as one chanted the words on it while holding it, one could use the corresponding spells. It was simple and convenient.
The only downside was that after each spell was used, the words on it would disappear. It wasn't a metaphor, but a literal meaning. The runes on the parchment would really leave the parchment and fly up into the sky like a balloon and disappear.
If one was a scholar, they would definitely study the parchment scroll while finding the ancient spell technique incredible. However, for a person like the middle-aged man who was opportunistic, he had no interest in the academic value of this thing other than its practicality.
“? (ur) _? (porn) _? (beorc) (Gist: The God of Thunder descends upon the white birch) … "
However, it was useless.
After casting the spell on the girl, not only did he not receive any feedback, but the parchment scroll also exploded into pieces.
"…"
The man's face darkened.
No matter how slow he was, he could still sense that something was wrong.
He didn't have much time to hesitate. Although it would be troublesome to deal with the aftermath, he still decided to use physical attacks to get rid of the girl.
Since the doctors and nurses were able to give the girl intravenous drips and injections, it seemed that Ruixi's mysterious protective power had no resistance to physical attacks.
"Don't blame me …" The middle-aged man's expression was ferocious. He pulled out the obsidian dagger hidden in his pants and stabbed it towards Mizuki Takemiya's chest!
