Clang!!
The eight-foot-long jade pendant, tightly clutched in Miyano Shiho’s chest, erupted with a dreamy and hazy light.
The surrounding scenery suddenly began to shift. Gin, Akari Shuichi, and the others felt like they were transported through time, arriving in the Heian period around 1000 AD.
Simple streets, people in traditional kimonos, and the towering shrines within the Imperial Palace.
“This is…”
Both Gin and Akari Shuichi’s expressions were close to freezing, doubting if they were experiencing hallucinations.
And at that moment.
Their perspectives suddenly zoomed in, entering the towering shrine.
A handsome nobleman with features like a demon, dressed in the luxurious attire of an Onmyoji, sat under a cherry tree in the courtyard.
Beside him, a Yuki-onna, a snow woman with skin as white as snow and an icy aura, poured sake into a bronze goblet.
And a divine bird, its body ablaze with flames, soared through the courtyard…
“Abe no Seimei!!”
Both Gin and Akari Shuichi were shocked.
And at that moment, the handsome nobleman suddenly turned his gaze, his eyes meeting theirs, and he gave a slight smile.
Boom!!
Gin and Akari Shuichi felt their vision go black, and all the illusions shattered instantly.
Their consciousness, which had been sucked into the eight-foot-long jade pendant, returned to their bodies.
“Rrrriii…
The strange phenomenon didn’t end.
The shikigami they had seen beside Abe no Seimei before turned into hazy shadows, surrounding Miyano Shiho.
Seeing this, Akari Shuichi immediately wanted to rush forward.
But Gin’s bullets and Yukimura Ichiro’s threat forced him to give up. He threw a smoke bomb and sped away in his car.
“Should we pursue?” Yukimura Ichiro asked Gin.
“Forget it, he’s not important right now.
Gin looked at Miyano Shiho on the ground, decisively fired a few more bullets, and then reached for the eight-foot-long jade pendant.
Clang!!
At this moment, the shikigami surrounding Miyano Shiho made their choice.
The Yuki-onna, with skin as white as snow and hair like ice, landed gracefully, merging with Miyano Shiho’s body.
All her injuries healed instantly.
And centered on her, raging cold air spread outwards. Gin retreated hastily, looking at his numb right hand, his expression shifting, he said coldly, “Camu, kill her!!”
“….Alright.”
Yukimura Ichiro hesitated for a moment before nodding, his back suddenly erupting with a bone whip, white and ghastly, it pierced towards Miyano Shiho like a venomous snake.
Clack, clack, clack…
The raging cold air erected an ice wall in front of Miyano Shiho.
She slowly opened her eyes.
…
“Quick! They’re on that mountain!! ”
Meanwhile, after the FBI personnel retreated, the Metropolitan Police Department quickly located Gin and the others.
More than fifty public security officers rapidly surrounded them.
There were also armed helicopters rapidly approaching from the sky.
“Vodka.”
Gin gave a cold order, Vodka understood and nodded, driving the car parked nearby, he pulled out a single-person rocket launcher from the trunk.
Boom!!
Forced by pressure from the Emperor, the helicopters flying so low were no different from targets hanging in the sky.
One rocket, and it turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Without this biggest threat, the rest of the public security officers were nothing to Yukimura Ichiro.
He moved at an extremely high speed, charging towards the officers, his body constantly erupting with bone blades, efficiently killing them.
This was the result of the training the Black Organization had given him over the past period.
“Boss, what do we do next?”
This huge scene made Vodka excited.
He carried the single-person rocket launcher, which was reloaded, on his shoulder, looking at Gin, waiting for the next instruction.
“Continue.”
Gin wouldn’t retreat until he got the eight-foot-long jade pendant.
He looked at Miyano Shiho, who was blocked by the ice wall, his eyes cold as he pointed.
“Understood.”
Vodka grinned, aimed at the ice wall, and fired another rocket.
Boom, boom!!
The ice wall exploded, sending up clouds of dust.
But a figure emerged from within, rushing out at an incredible speed, launching several ice needles made of snow towards Gin.
“So this is the power you gained? Not impressive.”
Gin snorted coldly, rolled to the side, and fired at Miyano Shiho with both hands holding his gun.
Bang, bang…
Bullets shot out from the barrel but were blocked by the ice wall before they reached Miyano Shiho.
“Huff, huff…”
Miyano Shiho leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
After being shot, she felt like she had a very long dream. In the dream, she seemed to have become the legendary monster Yuki-onna, serving the Great Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei.
This was simply too unbelievable for Miyano Shiho.
But everything happening now proved the dream was real.
She seemed to have… really become a Yuki-onna.
Looking at her own hands, Miyano Shiho recalled her dream self, making hand seals, using a spell.
Suddenly, ice mirrors appeared in the air, surrounding Gin and Vodka.
Ice needles shot out from the ice mirrors, Vodka subconsciously stood in front of his boss, blocking most of them.
“Not good!”
On the other side, Yukimura Ichiro, who was dealing with the public security officers, saw this and his expression changed. He immediately killed his way back, his arm transforming into a massive bone spike, smashing the ice mirrors.
“Gin, are you alright?”
Yukimura Ichiro anxiously looked at Gin, he didn’t want this to affect the treatment for his daughter.
“Cough, cough… I’m not dead yet.”
Because Vodka, with his even more muscular build, stood in front, Gin’s injuries were not serious.
He pulled out the ice needles from his body, hugged the dying Vodka, and glanced coldly at Miyano Shiho.
“Retreat!”
Gin’s voice was colder than ice at this moment.
Under Yukimura Ichiro’s cover, the three got in the car and quickly retreated.
After they left, Miyano Shiho suddenly collapsed to her knees, panting heavily.
Close call.
The spiritual energy in her body almost ran out.
