"Yes, that's what my father said."
"What about your own thoughts?"
"Me? My thoughts don't matter."
Xiao Ji's name is Iizuna Noriyuki. He is the heir of the Iizuna family, which is also a large family with a history of hundreds of years.
However, it is still several levels lower than the Isayama family, which has been a thousand-year-old aristocratic family.
So this "marry" is not quite accurate, Xiao Ji is marrying into the wife's family.
But whether it was marriage or marrying into the son-in-law's family, Huang Quan and Ji Zhi did not have any feelings for each other. They had only met a few times and had no good or bad feelings towards each other.
To the two of them, it was just a family mission. In order to give birth to a next generation with spiritual power, to inherit the Isayama family, and to bear the mission of sealing the killing stone for generations.
Even if the Killing Stone is destroyed, it will reappear.
"Sister Huang Quan, I think that when you get married, you should choose the person you like."
This is of course, but for Huang Quan, her father adopted her, who had no blood relationship with her, and raised her. He never treated her harshly and treated her like his own daughter.
Such a favor should be repaid with one's life, let alone marriage.
Ji Zhi should be more distressed than her, after all, the term "marrying into the wife's family" is really not a good word. She will try to like Ji Zhi.
Now, there is a more realistic issue than this.
After exiting the tram station and standing on the roadside, how did they get to Yuefeng Mountain?
Neither of them had ever been to Tokyo.
"How about we take a taxi?" Kagura suggested.
"No, if you take a taxi, all your New Year's money will go to waste."
Although Huang Quan had never taken a taxi in Tokyo, he had heard of this terrible method of legal robbery.
"Besides, this is Tokyo Tower. It should be the center of Tokyo, right? There must be a bus to Mount Tsukimine."
Of course there are buses, but they are not familiar with the routes. In Tokyo, how should I put it, people are more indifferent than expected.
Walking on the streets of Tokyo that were slightly empty due to the New Year, Kagura's attention was suddenly attracted by a wall.
To be more precise, it is a pattern that appears on the wall as if water had been splashed on it.
It might be something that should be ignored casually, but once you discover it, you will feel that you cannot ignore it.
It seemed as if there was some kind of magic that attracted everyone's attention.
"This pattern... is so scary, just like a female ghost!"
"Female ghost? Aha, you mean Sadako?"
Huang Quan knew that Kagura watched "The Ring" a few days ago and didn't dare to go to the toilet by herself in the middle of the night.
Huang Quan also saw it, but didn't think it was scary.
She is just a female ghost. If she dares to appear in front of me, I will have to ask whether her sword, the Lion King, is sharp.
Kagura is an exorcist shrine maiden after all. She has been training for several years, but she is still so timid.
Huang Quan wanted to laugh at Kagura, but when she looked at the pattern on the wall, she was also attracted.
That was not a female ghost. Huang Quan could not see the shape of a female ghost at all. The pattern seemed to change, just like the water stains on the wall flowing.
That pattern looks a bit like...
"Kyuubi Tamamo-mae!"
Huang Quan shuddered. Tamamonomae, that was truly terrifying, the nightmare of the priestesses of the Isayama family for generations.
Sayaka and Sister Mei, both of them were gone without a trace, that was not long ago.
Clearly, not long before that, Sister Ming had talked to her and said hello, but suddenly she was gone.
Faced with such a terrifying demon, the witch's life and death is literally just a thin line away.
If she was there at that time, Huang Quan knew that she would not be spared. She would also die.
The so-called worries such as study and marriage are just trivial matters. Losing life means that nothing exists.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, Huang Quan found that the shadow on the wall suddenly flickered.
I looked again and nothing had changed.
At the same time, ZAT's radar also detected anomalies.
"Captain, the abnormal energy source has appeared again! This time there are signs of materialization, and the location is still in area K!" Moriyama stared at the radar. The signal captured on it was extremely conspicuous. It might be a very large thing.
"Where exactly?"
“It’s near the Tokyo Tower train station.”
"Tram stop?"
It was a troublesome place, surrounded not only by Tokyo Tower but also a rehabilitation hospital.
Asahina walked to the window and looked towards the Tokyo Tower.
That’s right, the location shown by the radar is right where the ZAT base is visible to the naked eye.
So far, there's nothing there.
"Araki, take Kotaro, Kitajima and the others to investigate the battlefield."
Chapter 477 The Nine-Tailed Fox Appears Again
When Araki and his companions arrived at the scene, they found nothing at first. But then, a huge shadow suddenly appeared from the empty space between the buildings in the steel jungle.
Its sudden appearance is very similar to Yabo's dimensional gate.
But the dimensional gate is to release a super beast from another dimension. This monster does not seem to have crossed the dimension, but more like it has crossed the boundary between truth and falsehood.
It appeared without any warning in the most prosperous city center of Tokyo.
Because of the damage to Tokyo Tower caused by the previous giant cicada incident, the tower is currently under repair by humans' own engineering team, and it is expected to take several months.
There were no tourists at Tokyo Tower, but the surrounding city center was still crowded with people. The alarm for the monster's attack was immediately sounded, which inevitably caused chaos.
People in the shops and on the streets were running around in a crowded crowd.
"Wait, look at that monster! Isn't that the nine-tailed fox monster that appeared in Nasuno before? But Taro should have destroyed it!"
Indeed.
ZAT participated in that battle. Although it happened last year, it was less than half a year ago, just three or four months ago, and I still remember it clearly.
They all saw with their own eyes that the monster was smashed to pieces in Taro's Stream light.
"Hurry up, Sister Huang Quan!"
Kagura dragged Huang Quan, who was still a little dazed, and ran in the direction of the crowd. They didn't know where the shelter in Tokyo was, but the citizens around them knew it.
"Is that a nine-tailed fox?"
Is it really the Killing Stone?
Huang Quan's voice trembled. If it was really the Killing Stone and the Nine-tailed Fox, then it was her responsibility.
She should unsheathe the Lion King in her hand, follow the mission of the successive shrine maidens of the Isayama family, and seal the other party at all costs.
But, you will die!
She was very aware of this. Just like Sister Sayaka and Sister Ming, they were shattered to pieces and not even the complete body could be found.
If it weren't for her father, who adopted her in the Isayama family, she would have died many years ago. So Huang Quan usually felt that he should repay this kindness even if he had to sacrifice his life.
However, when she really saw the nine-tailed fox appear in front of her, she felt a great deal of fear.
In fact, that terror already existed.
When she learned about the fate of the Isayama family many years ago, she knew that one day in the future she would have to risk her life to seal the Killing Stone. Until today, she still has that fear hidden in her heart.
She was really so cowardly that even she felt ashamed of herself.
She practiced day and night, and thought she was prepared, but it turns out she was so afraid of death.
Because it was near the ZAT base, the Tianjing arrived at the scene as soon as possible.
The evacuation of the crowd has not been completed yet, but in order to prevent the monster from causing damage, the Tianjing must contain the opponent.
Under Araki's order, a conventional missile was fired at the monster, not to destroy it, but to attract its attention.
But unexpectedly, the missile passed through the monster and exploded on the ground.
"What's going on? Is it an illusion?"
"But the monster can destroy the house, so it's definitely not an illusion!"
ZAT changed several weapons, among which laser weapons could indeed hit it, but high-energy lasers could not pose a threat to it.
After fighting for a minute or two, ZAT found that he had no way to deal with the monster.
"This guy is different from the previous nine-tailed fox."
They are indeed different, Kotaro sensitively noticed that the only similarity is in appearance, and the inside and outside are completely unrelated to each other.
Somehow I have to pretend to be the other person.
"Strange cosmic rays... the resurrection of a once-defeated monster... what's the connection?"
Araki thought about it, but there were too few clues and he couldn't figure it out.
Kotaro didn't understand either.
If it was in the past, when he first came to Earth, he would transform into Taro without hesitation and fight first. Even if he lost, he still had Gaia and his brothers.
But now Taro has understood that he cannot lose any of the battles he fights, and he should not rely on others for his hopes.
He must be more rational and responsible in every battle.
He only has three minutes, so he must do what he can before transforming into Taro.
At least, we need to figure out what this monster is.
On the ground, among the people taking refuge, Kagura could feel Yomi's fear.
Kagura is not a member of the Isayama family and does not need to bear the responsibilities of the Isayama family, so she cannot understand that fear.
