Chapter 137 The Skull is Purified, the Skull Demon Sword
Kayako helps Chiba Risa up.
I don't accept being hugged by her because she only hugs one person.
But she could accept helping a friend.
Feeling the situation beneath her, Chiba Risa blushed, but in that state, she was completely unable to control herself.
It's only human nature.
After calming down a bit, she couldn't help but worry about Jiuzhi Che, who had just chased after the monster by hiding in the closet: "Should we call the police? That monster was terrifying. Will Jiuzhi-jun be alright?"
Kayako took two steps back; she wasn't used to getting too close to others, even friends.
Hearing this, Kayako also became a little worried. "I'll go help Che!"
But as soon as she said it, she remembered Jiuzhiche's instructions to stay in the room, and Kayako hesitated.
She certainly believed in Che's abilities, but she couldn't help worrying about his safety.
In the end, Kayako went out.
A short while later, she returned, carrying two kitchen knives, and gave one to the still bewildered Chiba Risa.
"Let's protect ourselves first."
"Ah, oh."
Chiba Risa gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.
Making this friend was one of the few right choices she made in her life over the past decade.
Jiuzhi Che is on the first floor.
The living room was almost completely packed.
It was all skulls, a long string of them.
The matter is simple. This strange creature wanted to run away. When Jiu Zhiche arrived at the attic, he was surprised to find that the attic was full of skulls, and there was a foul smell.
He cast another purification spell, smashing more than a dozen skulls, and the monster finally stopped moving.
So he dragged the string of things down to the first floor.
This number is at least several hundred.
It really is a huge family.
The original work, "Ancestors," tells just such a story.
They would deceive girls in order to continue their bloodline.
The original story states that when Makita Hideji's father dies, his skull will tear apart and be reattached to Makita Hideji's head. That's why he was in a hurry to bring Chiba Risa home, which resulted in her being frightened into amnesia.
Later, Makita brought Chiba back. Chiba regained her memories at Makita's house, and Makita, who had "inherited" the entire family, crawled toward her. However, Chiba's final fate was not shown in the original work.
But it certainly won't be much better.
In reality, Makita mentioned his 20th birthday, suggesting that his father would die on that day and he would inherit his ancestor's legacy.
But none of that matters anymore.
"Let us go."
"We've had this tradition for hundreds of years, and we don't want it to end here."
"For thousands of years to come, no one but us can achieve this."
"Please, I don't want to die."
"We have many memories, and we are willing to submit to you and use those memories to help you become the most powerful person."
Some indistinct murmurs, accompanied by buzzing and fragmented sounds, gradually coalesced into sentences.
Jiuzhiche heard it, but he wasn't interested.
"Purify".
The murmurs were mixed with painful moans.
Jiuzhiche felt that his mental energy consumption was not too bad, so he continued.
My mental strength has increased three times, but not every time it increased when my mental strength was depleted.
Therefore, when the opportunity arises, it's always good to expend more resources.
He had a vague feeling that if he used up all his energy again, he could improve once more.
"Purify x5!"
[Dealing with the strange ancestral bones grants 20% spiritual power]
[Currently available spirituality: 33%]
[Get 4 chances to win a prize]
The strange creature was long dead, and its murmurs had all vanished, but Jiuzhiche continued to use purification.
Generally speaking, purification treatments applied to the dead are ineffective, as if they were applied to the air. However, the purification is still working on this skull.
Since he still had some spiritual energy left, Jiuzhiche was a little curious.
"The 15th one."
The string of skulls, several tens of meters long, began to change. They started to shrink, getting smaller and smaller, with each skull tightly interlocking together, forming a straight longsword about 1.2 meters long, complete with a hilt. It looked as if it had been polished, and was completely white with a faint sheen on its surface.
Jiuzhiche picked up the sword, finding it quite magical.
During the purification process, he actually wondered what he would become. Would he turn into a sword?
The idea only flashed through my mind, but I never expected it to actually turn into a sword.
At the same time, his mental strength was enhanced for the fourth time.
Ignoring the familiar discomfort and stinging sensation in my mind, the boost brought a refreshing coolness, as if soothing my brain.
As for this sword...
"Pfft—"
A corner of the wooden table was chopped off and fell to the ground. The cut was smooth, showing how sharp the sword was.
If we ignore the fact that the material is a large family skull, it is a rare and valuable tool.
"Let's call you Skull Sword."
Jiuzhiche happily gave it a name: Skull is skull, as long as it works.
"It's just that without a scabbard, it's inconvenient to carry around normally."
As if hearing Jiuzhi Che's complaint, the skull sword hummed and extended from the blade, with bone material wrapping around it from the inside out, forming a white jade-like scabbard.
Jiuzhiche tried to shrink it again, and it actually worked!
The entire sword was shrunk to the size of a cell phone charm from my previous life.
But if you make it huge, that won't work; it can only stay at its normal size.
Jiuzhiche returned to the second floor and immediately saw two wary girls holding kitchen knives.
His expression softened, his smile gentle, carrying a hint of reassurance.
"It's alright now."
As if waking from a dream, a belated sense of fear welled up in Chiba Risa's heart.
Beside it lay the body of Hideji Makita.
......
When she saw Jiu Zhiche again, Shan Chengrou was no longer surprised. After asking him questions skillfully, she quickly sent him out of the police station.
It's obvious that the Makita family is a strange place, and Kujikichi is doing the people a favor by eliminating this scourge.
As for manslaughter and such, is that even human?
Preliminary analysis of the bone fragments left at the scene indicates they are at least several decades old, which corroborates Jiu Zhiche's statement.
As the daughter of a councilor, Yamashiro Yu's words command respect even from the bureau chief.
Chiba Risa was kindly escorted home by the policewoman, while Kujiki Tetsu took Kayako home.
Kayako's house.
"Were you scared?"
Kayako shook her head.
She might have been a little scared, but she quickly got used to it.
More than anything, people were worried about Jiu Zhiche's safety.
"Jiuzhi, classmate."
Jiuzhiche, who was about to leave, turned back. "What's wrong?"
"I have something..."
Meow~
A black kitten jumped out and tugged at Jiu Zhiche's trouser leg, trying to climb up. Jiu Zhiche chuckled and picked up the kitten, looking into its dark eyes.
"They're quite cute."
Now he finds Xiao Hei more and more adorable.
Kayako bit her lip.
I originally wanted to impulsively confess my feelings.
A golden opportunity was thwarted by Xiao Hei.
After petting Xiao Hei for a while, Jiu Zhiche turned to Kayako and said, "Here, Xiao Hei is back to you. It's getting late, I'm going back."
Kayako, holding Kuro, nodded blankly.
She didn't look away until Jiu Zhiche's figure shrank to a blurry dot.
After a while, she picked up Little Black: "Little Black, you're a grown-up kitten now, you can't bother Mommy with her business."
If Xiao Hei hadn't been the child she had raised for so many years, she would have really wanted to cut him to pieces with a knife at that moment.
Little Black: "Meow~"
