NOVEL WEB Chapter 483 Multi-limbed Being
Upon hearing Kurosawa Tsuyoshi suddenly speak Huaying language, Yan Junze suddenly had the urge to strangle himself and then, incidentally, strangle the male shop assistant who sold him the translation device.
If he had known that Kurosawa Tsuyoshi could speak Huaying, why would he have spent so much money on buying that translation device?
In the end, it was because he wasn't clear about the information related to the Nether Bakufu's Reaper that this happened.
Yan Junze really wanted to rewind to before he purchased the translation device, but then he thought, Ito Yuko doesn't speak Huaying, so if I want to enter her home, I'll have to explain things to her.
Without the translation device, he wouldn't be able to get past this obstacle, and Ito Yuko wouldn't lead him to Kurosawa Tsuyoshi.
He put the translation device into his backpack; it was too expensive to waste.
Yan Junze forced a smile and said, "Mister Reaper, as a representative of the Huaying Exorcist organization, let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Junze. May I ask... is it convenient to talk here?"
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi glanced at Yuko and then turned his head to look at his disciple, Daisuke Kitahara.
He then said to Yuko, "We may need to use this place to talk for a while."
Yuko nodded slightly, poured a cup of tea for Junze after he sat opposite Kurosawa Tsuyoshi, then went out and closed the door to the tea room.
However, Daisuke Kitahara did not leave. Instead, he walked over and sat next to Kurosawa Tsuyoshi.
"What's the topic?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi asked with a calm expression.
Yan Junze could feel a faint electrostatic field around the other person's body, causing the hairs on his arms to start standing on end.
This was a kind of defense and warning, cautioning him that if he intended to make a move against Tsuyoshi, he would die miserably.
"Actually, I've come to rescue you," Yan Junze said.
"What?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was momentarily stunned, "You're here to rescue me?"
"Our Huaying Great Capital has confirmed that Claudia IX of Olay Great Capital, along with two other Demon Hunter Groups, has opened a Summoning Ritual through an ancient tome called the 'Book of Change'." Yan Junze said.
"What Summoning Ritual?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi asked, frowning.
"A ritual to summon the True Word Demon Sylvanus." Yan Junze said while staring into his eyes, "Mister Reaper, have you ever heard of it?"
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi fell silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.
Within the Nether Bakufu, Akira Kamiya—the only God of Death in Japan's Great Capital—once made contact with that world using his unique Strange Body and recorded what he knew in the Dark Chapters.
Only Exorcists above the rank of Reaper in the Japan Great Capital had the authority to read that chapter.
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi had previously learned from the Dark Chapters that, according to Kamiya, there were three Demon Spirits sealed within a space: one was Possession, another was True Word, and the third was unknown.
And what Yan Junze just mentioned was the True Word.
"What do you mean by mentioning this?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi inquired.
Yan Junze didn't conceal anything from him and said mystically, "According to our Huaying Exorcist organization's intel, Valerie Walker of the USA's Half Moon Association has been killed by the True Word Demon using the 'Book of Change', and the next target is very likely to be you!"
"Valerie is dead?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was shocked, then quickly reacted, "How do you know I'm the next target, and why should I believe you?"
Yan Junze said, "Because we have insiders in Olay Great Capital, and we know that after killing you, their next target will be the Reaper Han Yu from my Huaying Great Capital."
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I have not left Japan's Great Capital now, this place is under the jurisdiction of the Nether Bakufu, how can it kill me?"
"With the Power of the True Word of Sylvanus," Yan Junze said, "Once bolstered by the 'Book of Change', its True Word Barrier can kill a person regardless of spatial barriers. For example, it could curse you from thousands of miles away!"
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi's expression darkened.
He was well aware that Yan Junze was not being alarmist and after a pause, said, "What's the purpose of telling me this now?"
"I hope that Huaying and Japan can cooperate to fight against the True Word Demon now standing with Olay. Of course, that includes the people who summoned it out," Yan Junze said.
"But how can you assure me?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi shook his head, still hesitant.
Yan Junze raised his head, his gaze moving to Daisuke Kitahara who was sitting silently next to Kurosawa Tsuyoshi, who actually couldn't understand a word they were saying and just sat sternly, feeling that the matter being discussed was very important.
"You brought out your disciple for training and you've encountered this strangeness at the Ito's place, don't you find it very tricky?"
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was slightly taken aback and replied, "It's not too tricky, if I wanted to kill this strangeness, it would merely be a matter of waving my hand."
"But that would probably destroy Miss Ito's house, wouldn't it?" Yan Junze smiled.
Kurosawa Tsuyoshi's expression became a bit unpleasant, probably because it was just as Yan Junze had said. He could indeed kill this strangeness, but only by sweeping through it on a large scale, so in that case, it might not be possible to save Ito Yuko's house.
Yan Junze did not pursue further but instead pointed to himself: "To be honest, I specialize in laid-back exorcism, which is by fulfilling the strangenesses' Obsessions to eliminate them. I am also a five-star rated Exorcist within the Huaying Exorcist organization. If you and your disciple do not mind, perhaps I can try to resolve the root of this strangeness."
"Laid-back?" Kurosawa Tsuyoshi was stunned, and then he showed a rare smile, "A very novel term, is it related to Buddhism?"
