Hearing about the Hyakki Yagyo from the previous night, the boy completely forgot about whether Zhang Wei was interested in him and said excitedly,
"Are you also interested in the Hyakki Yagyo?"
Zhang Wei nodded noncommittally,
"Yes, I feel like there are many urban legends lately, and I've always wanted to see them."
Following that.
Just as most boys can ignore their girlfriends when they get into games, the boy was the same. Upon learning that Zhang Wei was interested in the Hyakki Yagyo, he excitedly pulled Zhang Wei along and recounted his experience from yesterday.
He spoke for quite a while. It wasn't until Zhang Wei gestured that the boy remembered his girlfriend was still there. He scratched his head and said,
"Everything I just said is true. If you're interested and believe me, you can go to the place I mentioned. I heard that the Hyakki Yagyo has appeared there more than once, and I went there because I heard about the Hyakki Yagyo."
"Alright."
Zhang Wei nodded, thanked him, and noted down the address.
It was at this moment.
"Brother Zhang Wei, I've picked out my figure, I want this one."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
"Brother Wei, I just got a call from Meizi. She said the supernatural incident has been handled, but she's received another one temporarily. She told us to continue playing and not wait for her. Where should we go now?"
Yu Xiaoqi walked over with a pile of bags, which were Kamen Rider figures that Zhang Wei had bought.
"I originally wanted to go see Mount Fuji and take a hot spring bath, but now I want to go to this place."
Zhang Wei showed the address the boy had given him to Yu Xiaoqi.
Upon seeing it.
Yu Xiaoqi was stunned, showing undisguised surprise. Zhang Wei noticed the change and asked,
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Wei, this place is the address of the other supernatural incident that Meizi is going to handle next."
"That's great, let's go find Meizi then."
Zhang Wei smiled and patted Yu Xiaoqi's shoulder,
"We should leave immediately. I see the address is a bit far, in Hokkaido."
"Okay. By the way, Brother Wei, why do you want to go here, Hokkaido? Do you want to eat seafood? I know a place with delicious seafood, you don't have to go so far."
"It's not to eat seafood."
"Then why go to Hokkaido?"
"To see the Hyakki Yagyo."
As he spoke.
Yu Xiaoqi's smile froze.
...
On the other side.
On the Shinkansen bound for Hokkaido.
Fuka and Meizi sat in their seats, resting their chins on their hands, looking dejected. Today was supposed to be a fun outing with her boyfriend and his friends, enjoying good food and sightseeing. Instead, she was being dragged to Hokkaido to exorcise ghosts, which made her feel extremely depressed.
At this moment.
A girl's voice came from beside her. It was her good friend, a miko from another shrine, who was also going to Hokkaido with Fuka and Meizi.
"Meizi, are you still thinking about your man?"
"I'm just so angry, Risa. I had so many plans today, and I wanted to go to so many places. Now I'm being called to exorcise ghosts."
"Don't be angry, Meizi. The head of the dormitory passed away, and the old Onmyoji Abe also died. Two national-level Onmyoji died consecutively, so there's nothing we can do. Also, Meizi, don't get distracted. This trip to Hokkaido is different from the ghost we just dealt with."
As she spoke.
Fuka and Meizi looked over. Recalling Risa talking on the phone with the Hokkaido Onmyo-ryo about the situation, she couldn't help but ask,
"What's wrong? Is this supernatural incident difficult to handle?"
"Not just difficult to handle, it's tricky. No, I feel it's very tiring and very dangerous, because we have to deal with the Hyakki Yagyo."
"Nani, Hyakki Yagyo?! Hontou ni?"
Risa nodded,
"Yes, the previous dormitory head was from Hokkaido. He sealed a top-tier Oni King in his lifetime, wanting to make it his Shikigami. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to do it before he died. Recently, it's said that yokai discovered it and released it."
"And now it's commanding the yokai of Hokkaido, forming a Hyakki Yagyo, and constantly searching for the dormitory head's tomb, saying it wants revenge. Even though the dormitory head is dead, they want to dig up his grave and whip his corpse."
Upon hearing this, Fuka and Meizi covered their mouths with their hands.
"Heavens, a top-tier Oni King?! They're planning to have us deal with the Hyakki Yagyo."
Thinking of this.
Fuka and Meizi subconsciously reached into her bag for the Kamen Rider Faiz driver, wondering if the item temporarily blessed by Mr. Zhang Wei could handle a Hyakki Yagyo with a top-tier Oni King.
"So, Meizi, don't think about anything else and focus on dealing with this. We'll stick together then, let's not split up. If they can form a Hyakki Yagyo, those yokai and monsters are not weak."
"You too, Risa. Don't leave me behind then."
"Eh? Meizi, you're so yasashii, but you seem to have forgotten that my strength is greater than yours. You shouldn't leave me behind."
"That's not necessarily true. I have a trump card."
"What trump card?"
"This."
Fuka and Meizi didn't hide it, took out the driver, and stuck out her tongue.
"With this, I'm stronger than you. This is a protective artifact that my boyfriend Xiao Qi specially found from his friend, a super big shot from Great Xia, who is a top-tier Oni King in terms of strength."
However.
Faced with Fuka and Meizi's praise, Risa was dumbfounded. She stared at the driver back and forth, then hesitated and said,
"This is a protective artifact? Why does this protective artifact look so... plastic? And... isn't this a security tag? Is Great Xia that powerful now? Are top-tier Oni King ghost exorcists starting to mass-produce protective artifacts?"
"Haha, no, this is just a toy, blessed by a top big shot."
"Uh... Meizi, you're telling me a toy will protect me? I feel like I'm going to die on this mission to deal with the Hyakki Yagyo."
Fuka and Meizi were about to say something when.
Ding-a-ling.
Fuka and Meizi's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was her boyfriend Yu Xiaoqi calling.
...
Noon.
Hokkaido Shinkansen Station.
Zhang Wei walked out of the Shinkansen entrance, while Yu Xiaoqi waved to Fuka and Meizi, who were waiting for him at the station.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, are you really here to play in Hokkaido? Are you sure Xiao Qi didn't ask you to help me?"
Fuka and Meizi said.
"Miss Meizi, I am indeed here to play in Hokkaido. You don't need to mind me. You can go deal with the supernatural incident. I'm just here to play. By the way, I heard there was a Hyakki Yagyo in Hokkaido, is that true?"
"Eh, Mr. Zhang Wei, how did you know? Yes, it's true. I'm going to deal with this this time. Don't worry, Xiao Qi, the Onmyo-ryo has dispatched great Onmyoji, so you don't have to worry about me."
"There are great Onmyoji coming?"
Zhang Wei looked over. He knew what great Onmyoji were; they were Onmyoji who could deal with Oni Kings.
"Yes, to suppress this Hyakki Yagyo, the Onmyo-ryo has sent three great Onmyoji."
"Three?"
Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, adding in his mind... so many people are coming to steal my monsters? You think you can outnumber me?
