"So, you're saying that inside this pretty crystal, there's a youkai, is that right?" Hinagiku glanced at the Mystic Crystal in Wu Yan's hand, and when she saw Isumi's mother nod, she quickly scooted away.
"..." Seeing Hinagiku's reaction, Wu Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, earning him a glare from Hinagiku.
Squeezing the Mystic Crystal fragment in his hand, Wu Yan pondered. He didn't understand why the system would issue a mission to collect crystals that sealed youkai.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Wu Yan decided not to think about it too much. After all, anyone could betray him, but the system definitely wouldn't. Wu Yan had considered whether someone was manipulating the system from behind, but after some time of exploration, he let it go.
If they wanted to harm him, they would have done it when he first transmigrated, why wait until now?
Therefore, the tasks issued by the system, whether good or bad, should at least not be dangerous to him. Otherwise, the system wouldn't issue such tasks.
Well... although the system had issued quite a few tasks that put Wu Yan in danger...
Looking at the crystal fragment in his hand, Wu Yan sighed. "I never thought that there would actually be a demon inside..."
"Yes, back then, because of it, both youkai and humans suffered great losses. However, it was also because it killed the Demon King and his subordinates that humans have the upper hand over youkai today."
Speaking of this, Isumi's mother became a little worried. "Even now, this youkai has a great influence. Countless youkai, like the Demon King of the past, covet its flesh and blood. If they sense the crystal's aura, these youkai will definitely come knocking."
Wu Yan was stunned by this, and then gritted his teeth.
No wonder... no wonder those ghosts had been attacking since yesterday. It turned out to be because of this. How hateful, I really want to hit someone...
It's no wonder Wu Yan felt so resentful. Anyone who was attacked dozens of times in one night, and had to get up and kill youkai every time they were about to fall asleep, would feel annoyed.
Shaking his head, Wu Yan looked at Isumi's mother and said with a serious expression, "So, Luzhinomiya, do you know where the other crystal is?"
"Wait..." Hinagiku was shocked to hear this and quickly grabbed Wu Yan, saying, "Do you really want to collect all the crystals? There's a youkai inside!"
Wu Yan scratched his head and spread his hands, saying, "Youkai, I know, it's not the first time I've encountered one..."
"Then why do you still want to collect it? This kind of thing, although it looks very pretty, sounds very dangerous. Just throw it away." Looking at the crystal in Wu Yan's hand, the once beautiful crystal was now no less than a terrifying monster in Hinagiku's eyes. Hinagiku said with some worry.
Wu Yan's eyes rolled, he chuckled a few times, and suddenly threw the crystal at Hinagiku. "What? Are you scared?"
Hinagiku was taken aback, screamed, and frantically threw the crystal back, then glared angrily at Wu Yan.
This bad guy, doesn't he know that I'm very scared...
"Relax, I'm here..." Seeing that Hinagiku was really scared, Wu Yan's heart softened, and he stopped teasing her, comforting her.
The angry expression gradually disappeared, Hinagiku glared at Wu Yan, snorted coldly, and turned her head away.
Pulling Hinagiku's hand, Wu Yan said helplessly, "Okay, don't be angry, I have a reason to collect them all, you'll know in the future, be good, listen!"...
Hearing Wu Yan coax her like he was coaxing a girlfriend, the anger in Hinagiku's heart disappeared, her face flushed slightly, she squeezed Wu Yan's hand, and then broke free.
This tsundere...
Isumi's mother had been watching the show with great interest from the beginning of the farce, first looking at Wu Yan, then at Hinagiku, looking back and forth between the two.
Seeing her mother's performance, Isumi, who originally hated getting lost, now sincerely resented why she wasn't lost at this time. If she were lost, she wouldn't have brought Mr. Wu Yan and Miss Hinagiku here, and it wouldn't be so embarrassing. Mom is really...
After Wu Yan and Hinagiku's little exchange ended, Isumi's mother said with a smile, "You two are a couple, aren't you? Your relationship is so good, it's really enviable. Back then, I and Isumi's father..."
Hearing Isumi's mother start to go off track, and the content of her digression was about such embarrassing things, Hinagiku shouted with a red face and a thick neck, "No, Auntie, we... we are not a couple, not a couple, I'm just... just... just his older sister, that's right!..."
Ah~~~ This tsundere, um, I've said it once, I won't complain.
Isumi's mom was probably used to going off track. She was just talking about youkai, and now she was talking about her love history, and she forgot some of the things she said, so she had to say them a second time, making Hinagiku, who was blushing, feel embarrassed.
Helpless, Wu Yan said, "So, Luzhinomiya, do you know where the other crystal is?"
"Oh my, you don't know, actually, Isumi's father is also very cute, he..."
"..."
Looking up at the sky, but seeing a huge ceiling, Hinagiku next to him was doing the same action as Wu Yan, but compared to Wu Yan, the Student Council President looked much cuter doing such an action.
"Mom!" Isumi put out both hands, grabbed her mother's hand, and pulled hard, only then did she rescue Isumi's mother from the memory kill, but Wu Yan and Hinagiku looked at Isumi gratefully, they felt that they needed to be rescued even more.
Afraid that Isumi's mom would go off track again, Wu Yan quickly clapped his hands hard, attracting Isumi's mom's attention, and squeezed out an expression that was not much better than crying. Wu Yan said softly, "That... Luzhinomiya, do you know where the other crystal is?"
"I know..."
Okay, direct enough...
Everyone present was a little unable to react to the rapid change of the scene, except for Isumi's mom. Even Wu Yan, who usually only knew how to make people angry, didn't have a happy expression after hearing the answer he wanted at this time, but felt a blockage in his chest, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Letting out a heavy breath, at the same time as exhaling the heavy breath, Wu Yan also heard another breathing sound. Turning his head to look at Hinagiku, Hinagiku was also looking at Wu Yan, both of their eyes were full of tragedy.
"Please tell me, Luzhinomiya, where is the other crystal?"
Wu Yan said word by word, very seriously. If the other party wasn't an elder, Wu Yan would have kicked her into outer space long ago, and then fished her back, using his own way to get the answer he wanted, such as torture...
"The Sealed Crystal, also known as the Mystic Crystal, after sealing that powerful youkai, in order to prevent it from coming out to harm people one day, it was divided into two pieces by the Exorcist Clan leader who presided over the sealing ceremony. One piece was placed in his family's collection, and the other piece was used as the core of another sealing ceremony."
Isumi's mother stopped here and looked at Wu Yan with a smile.
Wu Yan was stunned and said uncertainly, "The core of another sealing ceremony? Could it be?..."
"That's right, it's the seal of the Heavy Yin Land, which is the underground hall of the Old School Building of Hakuhou Academy!"
Wu Yan suddenly understood.
So that's how it is, no wonder there are so many monsters in the underground hall of the Old School Building, it turns out that it is a Heavy Yin Land.
The Heavy Yin Land is the place with the heaviest Yin energy, it is reasonable to attract so many ghosts, and ghosts of the Ghost Leader level.
It's no wonder, with so many monsters staying at Hakuhou Academy, and the people of Hakuhou Academy not noticing at all, not even Isumi. Those monsters also didn't come out of there to attack humans. So, it was all because of the seal of this crystal.
Although there are still some details that haven't been unraveled, like why the Mystic Crystal fragment appeared in his hands after killing the Ghost Leader, Wu Yan doesn't plan to delve into the details. He'll just assume the system treated the Mystic Crystal fragment as a monster drop.
After realizing this, Wu Yan's expression turned serious. "So, the other Mystic Crystal is in the hands of this Exorcist Clan or their descendants?"
"That's right, you know…"
"Then where exactly is it?" Wu Yan asked quickly.
"It's right here with me, you know!"
"Could you say that again?"
"I'm saying, it's right here with me…"
As Isumi's mother finished speaking, a crystal identical to the one in Wu Yan's hand was taken out of her pocket and handed to Wu Yan.
"..." Wu Yan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
For some reason, finding this crystal didn't make Wu Yan feel happy; instead, he felt like he'd been tricked, badly!
How should he put it? It felt like a huge letdown.
Patting his face, Wu Yan walked up to Isumi's mother and said sincerely, "Luzhinomiya, could you please give me this crystal? It's very important to me."
"Sure, you know…"
"..."
Okay, Wu Yan admitted that although he had developed a little immunity, he was still inevitably stunned.
"In that case, thank you very much, Madam!" While sighing inwardly, Wu Yan also sincerely thanked Isumi's mother. After all, she had helped him a great deal and hadn't made things difficult for him.
Just as Wu Yan was about to take the crystal, a delicate shout suddenly rang out. Although the voice wasn't loud, it startled everyone present, or rather, just Wu Yan and Hinagiku. Isumi looked towards the source of the sound with a natural expression, while Isumi's mother continued to hand the crystal to Wu Yan, seemingly without a care in the world.
A figure flashed by quickly. Wu Yan didn't have time to react, and the crystal that was about to be handed to him disappeared.
Wu Yan quickly looked over and his expression froze.
"Grandmother, why did you come out?" Isumi asked the newcomer with a blank look.
"Grand... Grandmother..." Hinagiku looked at the newcomer in astonishment, her mouth twitching.
It's no wonder Wu Yan and Hinagiku reacted this way. The newcomer had snow-white hair, was less than 1.4 meters tall, and had an incredibly delicate face, looking like a little girl in her teens.
And Isumi was actually calling this little girl "Grandmother." How could Hinagiku remain calm? However, Wu Yan had known about her for a long time; he just didn't know she would jump out.
"Daughter, how could you hand such a dangerous thing over to an outsider? What if a demon breaks the seal? What are we going to do?" the little girl said, jumping up and down.
"Ara," Isumi's mother said, slightly tugging at the corners of her mouth and smiling. "Wu Yan-kun is a good boy. He wouldn't do anything rash."
The little girl, who was called Grandmother, looked at Isumi's mother with a look of disappointment. "Who knows if he's pretending? What if we get tricked!"
"That won't happen."
"No, I absolutely disagree! Not unless I'm dead!" The little girl turned her head away angrily.
Wu Yan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. After all, he couldn't just snatch it...
But Isumi's mother smiled slightly and said to her, "You wouldn't agree even if he helped us with that matter?"
Wu Yan clearly saw that when Isumi's mother said "helped us with that matter" to her grandmother, her eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at Wu Yan, she exclaimed in surprise, "Okay! Deal!"
"..."
Didn't you say you absolutely disagreed?... Didn't you say not unless you were dead?
