Chapter 871 Cultivation
Murakami Takashi and Yuko looked at each other.
These two guys are indeed childhood sweethearts who have been in love since childhood, and the communication was completed with just one look.
What an enviable ability.
"As you know, shikigami are actually transformed from spirits or even ghosts." Murakami Takashi explained, "Because they have special abilities, after being enslaved, they can do many things that humans cannot do. .”
"For example, Yuki-onna is a spirit that controls the wind and snow." Yuko gave a very famous example. "This kind of spirit only needs to be cultivated, and it can make itself stronger by absorbing other spirits. He is the training target that many priests cherish."
Murakami drank the miso soup as if he were holding a bowl of burning knives. He swallowed and said vaguely, "It's just that the breeding method is a bit inhumane."
"Because this type of shikigami is related to ice and snow, it can be considered to be the spirit body of a woman who got lost in the heavy snow after her death." Yuko also looked serious and did not agree with it, "But after modern times, few people will do it because of living in the snow." They were forced to walk in the snow in the mountains, so... they used other methods."
"Although there are a lot of people enjoying the snow every year, it is still rare to freeze to death in the snow." Murakami put down the bowl and rubbed his fingers on the edge of the bowl, "I heard that their breeding ground is in Hokkaido? Anyway, It should be a remote place.”
Hermione looked at them confusedly. She didn't dare to believe her guess, so she could only laugh twice, "What do you mean?"
"Ha." Takashi Murakami also showed a disgusted expression, "Just as you guessed, in order to 'create' a snow girl, send a letter to the target they selected and tell them, 'You have obtained a ticket to XX ski resort 1 Zhang, please arrive within a week and collect your reward'."
Hermione's eyes widened.
"Because it is a letter sent to the mailbox, although most people will throw away those things that look nothing like advertisements, this kind of letter made by a priest will naturally attract the other party's attention. When she opens the email, she will I will hopelessly believe what it says and happily go to that non-existent ski resort without telling any of my family.”
Murakami grinned, his expression unspeakably sarcastic, "After that, someone will deliberately guide her into the selected area. Of course, no one will be able to modify the large-scale air, but if you impose a No matter where you go, you will definitely get lost."
Hermione shuddered.
"The poor, chosen woman will die in despair in the vast snow, unable to find an exit no matter what, hungry and cold." Murakami Takashi sighed, "After that, the priests will be patient Wait, wait for her spirit body to be born from the corpse, tame her, and then use some techniques to make her a shikigami without a past."
"Erase the memory?" Hermione asked softly.
"Of course." Murakami Takashi nodded, "If she still has memories of the past, no matter what, she will suspect that she was tricked into being killed in the snow. In that case, the lives of those priests will be at stake."
"It's really cruel." Hermione glared at him dissatisfied, "Won't the Magic House stop this kind of thing?"
"Are you kidding?" Murakami rolled his eyes, "Do you think we can beat those priests?"
This was the first time Hermione had seen a guy who said "no" so simply and neatly. For a moment, she didn't know how to accuse him. She could only look at Yuko aside, "Miss Yuko, couldn't someone stop her?" Is this their excessive behavior?"
Miss Yuko took a sip of oolong tea, shook her head, and said regretfully, "This kind of thing is relatively hidden in the first place. Even the Muggle police can only close the case as missing or committing suicide. If it is a mysterious person, even if it is found, Those priests who do this kind of thing, because they don’t leave any obvious evidence, it’s difficult to testify against each other.”
"Besides, there are still many people who want powerful shikigami like Yuki-onna." Murakami Takashi sighed, "Even if we stop it once, how can we be sure that they won't continue to do this kind of thing secretly? ?If it doesn’t work in Neon, won’t they move to other countries?”
Yuko could only sigh, "Compared to other shikigami of the same strength, Yuki-onna's spiritual body may be the easiest to create, but even so, the number of Yuki-onnas that can be born from a piece of land is Limited, the priests will not give up this ritual until other 'substitutes' are found."
Robert shook his head helplessly, "I thought that the existence of the snow girl should be regarded as a kind of magical creature, but I didn't expect that it is a man-made spirit body?"
"Even after paying a huge price, the snow girl produced is just a defective product." Murakami Takashi said angrily, "After all, according to legend, the snow girl has the ability to turn the entire mountain forest into a world of ice and snow, but they The defective products produced by this tricky method only cover an area of three to five square meters."
"That's pretty powerful." Robert sighed, "I don't think I can escape that kind of attack."
"Even so, there are limitations." Murakami Takashi said, "After all, they are snow girls. According to most legends, they are afraid of warm things, such as a cup of hot tea or a stove. This legend dissipates in blue smoke.”
Yuko also looked in agreement, "So, priests who have snow girls usually let their shikigami sneak attack."
At this point, the food in front of them was almost eaten, and the little wizards were ready to leave.
"Speaking of which, if that place is really a shikigami training ground for the priests, wouldn't it be impossible to complete our commission?" Robert frowned and asked his own question.
"Unless it can be proven that there is nothing to do with the priests, I don't want to face those priests. You know, they are 'fighting locally'. We have no idea how many good things they have." Murakami scratched his head, feeling a little distressed. "Although I don't want to get involved, the other party is also our client after all..."
After struggling for a long time, he could only look at Yuko beside him as if asking for help, "What should I do, Yuko?"
Miss Yuko pondered for a while and then said in embarrassment, "Give up solving the problem of that apartment and just solve the client's problem. Besides, this is our original purpose, right?"
