Soul World. This name reminded Seiji of the villain faction in the Thunderbolt Puppet Show from his previous life.
The so-called Thunderbolt Puppet Show was a series of puppet shows with the word "thunderbolt" in their names. Puppet shows were traditional plays performed with puppet puppets.
The Thunderbolt Puppet Show was a miracle among puppet shows! Not only did they film and broadcast more than two thousand episodes of a TV series, they even filmed a movie.
Their stage settings and puppet production kept up with the times. Compared to traditional puppets, they used many new techniques to improve the performance. However, the most eye-catching part was still the story.
Apart from traditional wuxia, there were also fantasy and sci-fi stories. There were demons, ghosts, western vampires, robots, cyborgs, and so on. There were also time-traveling battles in the past, as well as dimensional battles in other worlds … It was no less fashionable than anime!
Seiji learned about all this because a certain depressed anime writer known as "Warriors of Love" wrote the script for a puppet show, and the Thunderbolt Puppet Show company was the producer and producer of this puppet show.
When he learned about this, he felt that it was an eye-opener. If it wasn't for the fact that he found it difficult to accept the style of puppet shows, he might have even become a fan.
'Cough, I went off topic. '
At any rate, the Thunderbolt Puppet Show had a powerful villain faction called Soul World, which was why he made the connection. In this life, did the name "Soul World" have any meaning in the mystical realm?
"Yes," Summer Night responded.
"According to legends, the 'Soul World' is a domain that exists in the netherworld. It gathers countless ghosts that want to return to the real world, as well as demons and monsters that want to wreak havoc in the real world.
"They're constantly crashing against the barrier between the netherworld and the real world. However, the barrier will absorb their energy and automatically repair itself, which is why their actions are only harming themselves, which is meaningless."
Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"By using such a legendary domain as their name, does that imply that their goal is to have demons and monsters flood the world?"
"That's possible, but it's also possible that they're just trying to make things seem mysterious." Summer Night shrugged.
Only the members of the organization would know what the name of the organization meant. There was no point in worrying too much about it. Seiji understood this.
But the Night of a Hundred Demons had already occurred. Considering the implications of this name … Qin Ye faintly felt uneasy.
"I want to protect my friends who are ordinary people. Is there any good way to do that?"
"How many people do you want to protect?" Summer Night looked at him.
"About ten."
"Don't tell me they are all girls?"
"No … there are boys."
"How many?"
"… Two."
Summer Night was rendered speechless.
Seiji felt a little pain from the other party's piercing gaze.
"If you really want to protect ordinary people, you can set up a barrier," Summer Night replied after staring at him for two seconds.
"Cast a barrier on each of them, or set up a barrier around their residences."
"Ward … I only know how to protect myself." Seiji sighed. "I don't know if Little Shi can set it up …"
Little Shi knows how to make a basic barrier, but she doesn't know how to make a barrier that can be maintained for a long time and can resist monsters that appear. She has to ask.
"You can also hire a Spiritual Ability user to set up a barrier."
"How much will it cost?"
"I'm not sure … I think it depends on the individual, the location, the strength of the barrier, and other factors."
"Please introduce me to someone."
"I think it's better to ask Houjou-san. She's more familiar with this area."
Seiji nodded.
"I should go now. I still have things to do," Summer Night told him. "If you need anything in the future, contact me."
"Yeah … thank you so much, Summer Night."
The two of them left the study.
Something flashed in Feng Wu's eyes as she saw that Wanhua Summer Night was about to leave. She stood up.
"President Wanhua, may I have a word with you?"
"Hmm?" Summer Night looked towards the blonde teacher. "Is something the matter, Juumonji-sensei?" "Juumonji-sensei."
"Yes, it's about the Juumonji Group …" Feng Wu walked over and spoke in a soft voice.
"Last night, a member of our group was ambushed by a demon and was seriously injured … I don't know if something like this will happen again tonight. Everyone's quite worried …"
"You can talk to Seiji about this. He knows how to deal with it," Summer Night responded. "I have something urgent to do, so I won't be able to accompany you. Please forgive me."
"I see … I apologize for being rude."
"Please don't say that. I'm the one who was rude … Goodbye."
The Grand Mistress then left.
After sending her off, Seiji returned to his room.
"Harano-kun … I'm sorry." Feng Wu lowered her head.
"Eh? Why are you apologizing? "Seiji found this rather strange.
The blonde teacher had an expression of guilt, but didn't explain.
A moment of silence fell between them.
"I don't think that there's anything for you to apologize for. I'm still a little confused right now." Seiji looked directly at her. "But if you don't want to explain, I won't ask anymore."
"Thank you …" Feng Wu looked back at him. "Harano-kun … you're so gentle."
What was with the sudden increase in favorability towards him?
Seiji had so many questions popping up in his head. He then tossed this to the back of his mind.
"I already know how to prevent demon ambushes. Wait for me, I need to talk to someone. "
After saying this, he went to knock on his adopted younger sister's room door.
When he saw Little Shi, he explained the situation to her.
"I can create and maintain a demon exorcism barrier, but I can't go too far away from the barrier … I can't do what Brother wants. I'm sorry." Shika Kagura lowered his head.
"No need to apologize. It's not like I'm blaming you." Seiji smiled wryly. 'Why are both of them like this?'
He reached out and patted his adopted younger sister's head.
"It's fine if you can't do it. There's always another way. You don't need to feel sorry."
After comforting Little Shi, he went back into his study and picked up his cell phone to make a call.
"Good afternoon, junior. What business do you have with me?"
"Good afternoon, Senpai. I've come to do business with you again."
"Ha, do you want to deal with someone again?" Seiji chuckled lightly.
"No, it's the opposite. I want to protect someone …"
Seiji explained the situation to her.
"Creating a barrier … I have an acquaintance who's an expert at this," Mai said after hearing this. After Mai heard this, she said, "Her asking price is quite high, but the barrier she set up is very reliable. It's worth it."
"How much do you want, specifically?"
"Go ahead and ask her directly. Her name is Shizuko Sako. I'll contact her first. Wait a moment. "
They ended their conversation.
Shizuko … this name caused Seiji to recall Doraemon, the female lead of the Blue Fatty Doraemon anime. She was the goddess of childhood.
By the way, Shizuko, also known as Shizuka, probably didn't have the surname of the female lead. It was "Minamoto." The same surname as Minamoto no Raiko.
Seiji silently waited.
Not long after, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon … is this Harano Seigo -san?" A gentle female voice spoke up.
"Yes."
"I'm Shizuko Sako … Houjou-san said that you wanted to create a barrier … is that right?"
"That's right. May I ask how much you're asking for, Sako-san?"
"Houjou-san said that you want to protect ordinary people … I recommend a reactive barrier …"
Barriers could be activated either passively or actively, as well as a combination of both.
The first was like a landmine, which would automatically activate when a demon attacked. The second was like a hand grenade, which needed to be activated in order to be effective. The third was a combination of the two, which could be activated or activated.
For ordinary people, a reactive barrier was the most suitable. A reactive barrier would have seventy-two hours of standby time, and the lowest-strength protective barrier would cost 1.5 million sakuras.
If it was activated during the standby time, it would form a normal protective barrier. Although it could still be activated after seventy-two hours, the barrier's strength would decrease, and there might even be loopholes. In order to maintain the barrier's normal state, it would need to be replenished with Mana, which would cost 100,000 sakuras per refill.
The longer the standby time, the stronger the barrier, the higher the price, and the higher the fee for replenishing Mana.
As for a position-type barrier, it would cost slightly more than three times as much as a personal-type barrier.
