Shuya coughed and sighed.

Mai- chan patted his shoulder. "Shuya, I think your question is beyond the scope of my advice. I don't want to give you any irresponsible advice either. Like I said, don't let yourself regret it."

"Also, when you feel lost, just follow your intuition. I think your heart will tell you what to do."

Mai- chan spoke in a serious tone, repeating the same nonsense she had said before.

Actually, Shuya didn't expect her to give any useful advice; he just wanted to feel cared for.

That would make him feel warm.

Shuya looked at Mai- chan and said, "Thank you."

"No, it's just that taking medicine so often is a bit harmful to my health."

Mai- chan patted her stomach and sighed softly.

Shuya laughed, patted Mai- chan, and breathed in some air to help her stay awake.

Then he said, "I should probably head to my next film set. Thanks for listening. Bye."

"Okay, keep it up."

Mai- chan waved goodbye to him.

After parting ways with her, Shuya continued to work.

After filming for a few days and recording for a few more, April is almost over.

Rena has not had any more incidents, and the Curse seems to have entered a stable period.

Then he could leave in peace.

Tokyo is on high alert regarding the Monster.

Even if they had the chance to strike, they would only be able to catch a few Half-Monster, Demon Power was simply insufficient.

It's time to go hunting in other places.

Shuya chose Hokkaido.

The environment in Hokkaido is ideal for his skills and knowledge, making it less likely for problems to arise.

He wanted to play it safe for his first stop.

So he set off at the end of April.

Shuya didn't invite Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others on this trip.

He didn't want to trouble them anymore.

Tokyo is manageable, but hunting in other areas almost always means exposure.

Buying train or plane tickets leaves a record, and even if you drive there yourself, you can't avoid being caught by cameras.

He didn't want his own affairs to implicate them.

Shuya could imagine the fury the Monster would feel once the truth was revealed.

One person does the work, and one person takes the blame.

Don't bother anyone else.

Shuya set off immediately and soon arrived in Hokkaido.

But when he came out of Sapporo Airport, he suddenly froze.

He actually saw someone who absolutely shouldn't be there.

"So slow! I'm dying to wait!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka stood with her arms crossed.

Haruno emerged from behind Shizuka Hiratsuka, waving with a smile, "Surprised? Unexpected?"

"..."

Yukino didn't look at Shuya; she just silently watched the snow fall and reached out to catch snowflakes.

Then he curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Besides them, Shuya also saw two familiar faces.

"Inoue- kun, are you okay?"

Tsuruko Aoyama bowed.

"Inoue- kun! We've come to help too!"

Motoko Aoyama's small face was serious.

"You..."

Shuya hesitated, unable to express his gratitude.

Those words are too vague.

He could only sigh deeply, "You all chased after me, how much do you like me?"

Everyone gathered again.

Since they're not afraid, then... let's turn things upside down!

Shuya stepped past the crowd, finally unable to keep a straight face.

He smiled.

Chapter 216, 200 Demon- Demon Power

Soon after Shuya and his group arrived in Hokkaido, the local Monster experienced the fear that the Monster of Tokyo had.

Not to mention that Shuya and his gang are incredibly strong, the key point is that they also love to ambush people!

This is absolutely outrageous.

The Monster in Sapporo were dealt with within three days, and then Shuya and the others spread the word in all directions.

Hokkaido is sparsely populated, so news spreads slowly, allowing Shuya and his group to succeed one after another.

They've exploited Sapporo, the most prosperous area in Hokkaido, and the surrounding cities are still unaware of what's happening to them.

Over the next week, Shuya led his men all over Hokkaido, harvesting Demon Power.

After dealing with most of the Monster in the city, they ventured deeper into the deserted snowfields.

There are no people, but there are demons.

Actually, a few years ago when Shuya filming in Hokkaido, he had already found traces of many Monster dwellings in North Hokkaido, but he didn't care since they weren't Snow Woman.

He led his men to begin draining Demon Power from the North Hokkaido.

Then it swept through the East Hokkaido and South Hokkaido of the road, finally returning to the Central Hokkaido.

They spared the great Monster, and dealt with it one last time.

Shuya used the same method as in Tokyo.

He controlled several famous Monster and invited a large number of demons to join him, then drugged and drained their Demon Power.

The Hokkaido travel guide is now complete.

Then Shuya led his men back to Tokyo to rest. He was also a bit tired from the intense battle, not to mention the Yukinoshita Sisters, who were not martial artists and not physically strong enough.

Through practical experience, everyone made great progress.

This kind of long-distance run is very demanding.

Under this rigorous training, everyone's strength increased rapidly.

After returning to Tokyo, Shuya sneaked into the neighboring house with the Little Fox to transfer his Demon Power to Rena.

Although the yokai of Hokkaido possessed immense Demon Power, they were still no match for the Monster of Tokyo, and only gained two more months of life.

The entire Hokkaido travel guide took about two weeks to complete.

So he gained an extra month and a half of life.

Extremely inefficient.

This Curse is truly tormenting; Shuya can now clearly feel time chasing after him.

If this continues, I'll be driven crazy sooner or later.

But Shuya was helpless.

He felt anxious and even considered not resting.

But his reason told him that this was the purpose of the Curse.

Besides tormenting Rena, she's also tormenting those who intend to help her...

Shuya suppressed his anxiety and went back to sleep.

Maintain composure in the face of great events.

Don't rush...

And two weeks have passed, so the Tokyo Monster's vigilance should have mostly subsided by now.

In the following days, Shuya went to deal with the backlog of work in the mornings and went hunting Monster separately with the others in the evenings, but the results were not very good.

After an intense hunt, this activity is considered a rest.

After recording for a few more days, Shuya led his team to set off again.

This time he came to Aomori Prefecture, which is located in the Hokkaido region, then Akita Prefecture, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi...

One county after another, one city after another.

They traveled from north to south, draining Demon Power along the way.

The Monster were incredibly unlucky, being Shuya exploited by Xiu.

And when Shuya and the others return to Tokyo to rest and handle their own affairs, they will also take the opportunity to plunder Monster in Tokyo again.

Tokyo is full of Monster, and new, adorable Monster from other places are always there to "feed" (take advantage of).

So, Tokyo really is a great place.

However, this opportunity for stealthy development finally came to an end after Shuya exploited the entire Tohoku region.

Shuya and the others were discovered by the police.

Shuya and Shizuka Hiratsuka, with their Natural Martial Bone and Heavenly Demon Body, were already on the priority list.

Their frequent outings drew attention from above.

Combined with the news that wherever Shuya his group went, trouble followed, it wasn't hard for the police to deduce who the mastermind behind this terrifying situation was.

But the police did not take action against them.

Shuya and his group did not attack ordinary people, but only Monster or Half-Monster, and they did not kill any of the monsters.

The world remains calm and peaceful.

The impact wasn't significant enough to warrant intervention from higher authorities.

In this situation, the authorities usually wouldn't intervene, but since things had gotten a bit out of hand, someone from above did manage to meet with Shuya.

The reason why Shuya attacked was also known to those above; he hadn't concealed it when he visited the priest before.

The priests maintained contact with those above them, so it wasn't difficult for them to find out these things.

But regardless, someone from above still had to be sent to warn Shuya.

Takaita Daisuke was once again unlucky enough to be called to see Shuya.

He and Shuya very familiar with each other, so he felt somewhat like a personal contact for Xiu.

Takaita Daisuke came over while Shuya was at home.

"Hey, isn't this Officer Takaita?"

Shuya opened the door and invited him in.
