Kamiya's house, basement.
This place is completely different from the time when Cai Zhi gave birth to a baby.
After tidying up and cleaning diligently every day, the basement became very tidy.
Moreover, the dry environment of Rihefang comes down from time to time, and some new lighting fixtures are installed, making the whole place bright and spacious.
A corner of the basement.
The little old man's spiritual gift, the bird's copper set, is placed on the ground. On both sides of the copper set, there is a red weeping blood candle.
One class F and one class E.
The candlelight is dim.
The Kamiya family's scouts are undergoing an upgrade ceremony from F to E.
The little old man's investment in Requiem Candles has always been a medium-to-high priority. After all, he is the only scout in the team and has considerable development value.
From the end of Doll's Day to now, the ritual candle has been burning for three days.
It's finally about to burn out.
As soon as the flames of the candles on both sides were extinguished, the bird's copper pair reacted.
A more intense purple ghost energy than usual curled out from it, condensing into the appearance of a little old man.
"Congratulations, little old man, you have successfully been promoted to E-level."
Kamiyagawa sat on the ground beside him, originally reading a book called "Kojiki", which records Japanese mythology.
Seeing the little old man appear, he smiled and congratulated him.
"Abba!"
Faced with the master's behavior of "loving his subordinates like his son" when he personally welcomed the end of his promotion ceremony, the little old man was naturally very moved.
One moment he raises his hands, circling excitedly around his master like a strange creature, and the next moment he taps his bare chest to show his loyalty.
"After upgrading, will there be any changes in abilities?" Kamiya asked him.
"Abba! Abba!"
The little old man impatiently showed his hand to his master.
Two wisps of crimson ghost energy separated from his body, fell to the ground, and turned into a mini form that looked the same as him but was reduced in size.
This is the [outer body] of the little old man.
It is a clone that moves freely and is connected to the ontological consciousness.
At level F, you can only summon one, but it seems you can summon two after you advance.
"Very good." Kamiyakawa nodded with satisfaction.
If this trend of increasing number of clones continues, in the future the little old man's weird talk will become an entire scout team!
After being promoted to level E, the little scout's size has not changed much and is still about 20 centimeters in size.
However, his promotion ceremony took a bit long.
After all, the originally inferior Kaitan racial values ​​are there.
If there were no new Kaidan relics for him to absorb and increase his ability limit, he would probably be stuck at level E.
But it doesn't matter!
The corresponding relics had already been prepared by Kamiyagawa for the little old man.
"Try to absorb this."
He took out the [Mirage Bag], took out the [Void Shakuhachi], and placed it in front of the little old man.
This shakuhachi is a relic of the D-class Kaidan Kyōmon monk.
The little old man has reached E-level, so there should be a possibility of absorbing him.
"Aba Aba!"
The purple ghost relic wrapped the Shakuhachi on the ground, and the entire bamboo instrument slowly melted away and drifted to the little old man.
He didn't wear any clothes at first and only relied on ghost energy to cover key parts of his body. Clothes began to appear on his body.
A deep straw hat appeared on his head, and he was wearing a somewhat tattered white robe, a cassock hanging around his neck, and a convenience bag with the word "emptiness" written on it.
The shape is similar to the previous Void Monk.
Including the two mini old men who had just been summoned, their clothes also changed.
The occurrence of this change indicates that the relics have been absorbed successfully.
"How about it?"
Kamiyakawa narrowed his eyes and stared at the little old man, feeling that the aura of ghost talk about him was getting stronger.
After absorbing this relic, it shouldn't be a problem for him to be promoted to D level in the future.
"Abba..."
The little old man was in a trance for a while, feeling his abilities strengthen.
After about half a minute, he raised his hand and dragged out a smaller version of the shakuhachi from the purple ghost energy around him.
The two outer bodies moved in unison with the main body, and each took out a shakuhachi.
"Woo——"
The shakuhachi was played.
The sound is desolate and vast, ethereal and tranquil, but also contains some rough and sad taste.
It's like under a moonlit night, strong wind blows waves of wheat, and there are monsters swaying in the fields.
The sound of the shakuhachi stopped, and the little old man's ghostly aura disappeared, his figure completely disappeared, and even his spiritual descendant, the bird bronze pair, could not be seen.
Kamiyakawa continued to stare and looked around the basement.
Out of sight.
I can vaguely feel that there is a subtle atmosphere of ghost stories here, but I can't tell where it is at all.
It’s similar to the situation with the Void Monk before.
"Come out."
Kamiyagawa was very satisfied with this change and spoke to the air like this.
"Abba!"
The little old man reappeared with his two outer bodies, five or six meters away from Kamiya River.
At the same time, the bronze bird bird on the ground also appeared again.
With the assistance of [Autumn Hair Slash], Kamiya's perception ability is very strong.
Being able to keep such a close distance from him and still hide him, it is estimated that not many spirit exterminators or ghost talkers will be able to find the little old man in the future.
The professional ability of your own scouts has greatly increased!
"If you can hide your copper accessories, what about other things?" Kamiya began to study the little old man's new ability.
"Aba whined."
The master and servant communicated for a while, and it was generally understood that the little old man could now hide some small objects with the help of the shakuhachi.
"That's just right."
Kamiyagawa took out another prop from the [Mirage Bag].
It’s Shuilizi’s [Qi Emotions Magatama].
"Try this."
The little old man used his new ability again.
Amidst the illusory shakuhachi sound, the outline of the small warm magatama began to blur and disappear.
However, [Seven Emotions Magatama] itself is of a much higher grade than the Nagitori copper set, and Kamiyagawa can still roughly "see" its location while staying in the basement.
To be continued...
