I teach kendo in Tokyo

"His name is Kiryu Kazuma, and he is a police officer." Kozo said in a low voice.

"Kazuma Kiryu, the police department... wait? No!" Catfish spirit, who had closed his eyes to concentrate, suddenly jumped up as if his tail had been poked. He looked around in a panic, and then his eyes fell on Kosa He couldn't help but curse loudly. "Damn it! What the hell are you doing? You actually caused me such a big trouble!? I won't do it! Don't mention the three-year offering, I won't do it even if it's thirty years old!"

"Why, why?" Kozo seemed to be encountering this kind of situation for the first time, and he was immediately stunned.

"Why? Damn it, ask yourself! The moment I heard his name, all the hairs on my body stood up, and even my tail trembled! What the hell is the police officer? That guy is definitely not an ordinary person!" Catfish Spirit glared angrily. Holding Kozuo, he patted the ground hard with his short hands. "Be honest, you bastard! Who is that person named Kiryu Kazuma? How did you get into trouble with him?"

"This..." Kozuo hesitated, unable to help but show a shaken expression.

This catfish spirit is an old monster that has lived for hundreds of years. Its lifespan and knowledge are far beyond those of ordinary people. Especially after personally experiencing his magic curse, Kozo once thought that mortals in the world were no match for that power. Kozo subconsciously regarded him as his trump card, but the fact that Ayujin was so wary of Kazuma Kiryu was honestly beyond his expectation.

At this time, even Dahira Yasugi next to him cast a questioning look. Although Kozo noticed it, he could no longer care about dealing with it. The catfish spirit stared at him closely, and cold sweat broke out on Kozo's forehead when he thought of the curse. He did not dare to hide it at the moment, and told him everything he knew about Kiryu Kazuma's fighting deeds, as well as his grudges with him.

"A swordsman who can cut through thunder and lightning? What the hell?" Kiryu Kazuma's heroic deeds seemed to shock the catfish spirit, as the tentacles at the corners of his mouth twitched and he muttered. "Damn it, when I was half-dead by a Yankee nuclear submarine, I thought the era of swords was coming to an end... Tsk, it's obviously the era of atomic energy, but there are still monsters like Michizuki Tachibana appearing. When Are you really giving the monsters no way to survive?"

Not giving the monster a way to survive? Kazuo trembled when he heard this.

Although compared to ordinary people, he is already half a person who has stepped into the mysterious side, but after all, he is not like someone who has a big demon fox at the apex of the mysterious side personally explaining it, so he has no idea about the true situation of the mysterious side. It can only be regarded as a partial understanding. Of course Catfish Spirit would not tell him the fact that even when he was in his prime, he did not provoke swordsmen or swordmaster-level warriors.

Kozuo and Dahira Yasugi both looked at the catfish spirit eagerly, but to their surprise, the latter slapped him in the face. "You're dead. Although I don't know what the mistake was in that person named Kiryu Kazuma to be born in this era, but with your weak minds, it will definitely be a dead end against a swordsman. There is no way to save it."

Kozo and the others couldn't help but look at each other in shock after being announced like this. Ohira Yasugi glared hard at Kosa, who looked away slightly embarrassed, and then looked at the catfish spirit as if pleading.

"That Kiryu Kazuma, even if you take action personally? If you are worried about the reward..."

"You don't know anything at all, idiot." Catfish Spirit interrupted him directly, waving his beard. "A swordsman who can cut through thunder and lightning is one of the few heroes even in the troubled times of the Warring States Period when powerful men gathered. Such a destined person, not to mention me, not even a big monster like Tamamo Mae would dare to do so. Provoke him. And you are so careless as to get into trouble with him? Haha, you simply don’t know how to live or die!"

"What?"

A call from Catfish Spirit kicked Kozuo and others into the abyss of despair. The two people came to ask for help with the hope of making a comeback, but not only did they fail, they were also told that their opponent was far more powerful than they imagined. On the balcony above the lake, Kozuo and Ohira Yasugi looked at each other, and they could see an almost pitch-black color in each other's eyes.

Both of them were top students who graduated from Meiji University, but they studied literature. Although he has made a lot of black money by pretending to be a brainwashing practitioner of psychotherapy, he actually has no experience or courage to face real swords and guns. To say that Kosa who organizes activities may be slightly better, while Ohira Yasuki can only work in a clinic with heavy protection, it is no exaggeration to say that they are weak-minded.

At this time, they knew that even the last resort they relied on could not deal with Kiryu and Ma, and the two of them were completely at their wits' end. Dahei trembled and glanced at the catfish spirit secretly, while Koso nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes, tightening and loosening, loosening and tightening again.

"...But, it's not impossible."

Catfish Spirit watched the two people's confused looks with great interest, and after a long while, he spoke slowly. The panicked two people immediately looked over and saw Catfish Spirit pulling out a folding fan from nowhere, shaking it and talking like a peaceful nobleman.

"It's very troublesome to establish a relationship with you humans. It's a pity to lose such an obedient slave. Although I don't want to take on the man named Kiryu Kazuma, I can lend you some strength so that you can Go deal with him yourself."

"Let's go and deal with Kiryu Kazuma ourselves?" Kozuo and Dahei's eyes widened when they heard this. Regardless of the mysterious side, even in the ordinary side where science dominates, Kiryu Kazuma is a strong man in a single team. Even armed helicopters have been chopped down by him. In terms of force, the two men who were born as scholars are probably no match for him in terms of force.

"I said so, of course there is a way." Catfish Spirit waved his hands unhappily, took out something from his sleeve and threw it out. "It just so happened that an acquaintance came to me not long ago and brought me a rare gadget. It is said that it can allow ordinary people to gain the power of the mysterious side. If you are brave, try it."

"Let ordinary people gain mysterious power?" So magical? Kozo blinked and hurriedly picked up the small box thrown by Catfish Spirit.

I originally thought it was some miraculous magic weapon, but the small box was made of obviously industrially processed aluminum. After opening, it was filled with shaped foam cushioning material. Sitting in a groove in the foam was a semi-lit syringe. Through the glass outer wall of the syringe, you can see the strange dark purple medicine inside. Those dark purple potions seemed to have unusual activity. Even through the glass, you could see the things inside squirming and squirming like living things. You could even vaguely see the shape of a human face, which made Kozuo feel horrified.

"Hey! Zhengzhang, this thing is definitely not good!" Daping Yasugi's gasping voice came from the side.

"This thing is called 'Super Serum', and it is the second generation product of their company. It is said that the experimenters of the previous generation product relied on it to gain the power of outsiders, and they were able to compete with contemporary sword masters. If you use this, There shouldn't be anything to be afraid of when facing Kiryu and Kazuma, right?" Ayujin said slowly while shaking his folding fan.

"Super, serum?" Kozo stared at the strange injection in his hand, his eyes dazed.

He has always regarded the ordinary side dominated by scientific theories and the mysterious side where monsters and inhumans live. He has always regarded the two as two distinct and incompatible ends of the world. However, now he is holding an injection that is obviously an industrial product, and the monster claims that he can use it to obtain the mysterious power of the heretic! ? Kozuo feels that his world view needs to be reshaped. The originally clear-cut boundaries are becoming blurred. Or is someone deliberately blurring the boundaries?

Kozo didn't know who was doing such a thing, but instinctively felt deep fear. He looked at Daping Yasugi in a somewhat bewildered manner, only to see the latter's face showing an expression of wanting to run away as far as possible. Kozo also subconsciously wanted to escape, but his feet couldn't move at all. Either because he was reluctant to part with the business he had been running so far, or because he was afraid of Kiryu Kazuma, in short, he just held the aluminum box like a life-saving straw until the catfish spirit's voice sounded again.

"As long as you pierce that thing into your arm, you will gain the power to fight Kiryu Kazuma. That's all I can help you with. What are you waiting for?"

When Kazuma drove the GTR to the reservoir, he was more than half an hour behind Kozo and others.

This is because GPS navigation and other systems have not yet been popularized for civilian use in this era, and there are even no drawings for the Beidou system. Although the tracker developed by the Nanjo family can indicate the general direction, the specific map must rely entirely on human navigation. After getting off the expressway, Kozo and others turned back and forth on the field path. As a result, Kazuma, who was not familiar with the road conditions, took several forked roads before finding the reservoir.

There was a car belonging to Kozo and others parked next to the reservoir. Kazuma observed it first to make sure there was no one around before moving over to check. While he was checking the condition of the car, Qingliu went around to inquire about the situation.

"That's right, this is Masaaki Kosa's car. What are they doing in such a place where birds don't lay eggs? And the smell... Damn, they even bought seafood and brought it here? For an outing?" When he walked around the back of the car and The horse smelled the fishy smell of seafood and was surprised.

"Wazuma, I asked about it. They said that two men got out of the car with fishing equipment just now. Well, they seemed to be walking forward..." Qingliu, who was investigating nearby, also came back and reported what he had heard. news. However, Kazuma also noticed that his disciple had a wavering look on his face that he was trying hard to hide.

"What? Is there anything else?"

"Well, actually, they told me one more thing..." Qingliu said with a sad face. "They say that there is a water god living in this lake. The water god will curse those who come to the lake to fish and disturb his rest. It is said that dozens of people disappear by the lake every year... I asked Kazuma, are there really monsters here?"

"Monsters? Yes, you seem to be quite afraid of these gods and monsters." Kazuma then remembered that the former Ji Dao daughter had this setting. But then again, dozens of people go missing by the lake every year! ? Even if the villagers' statement was a bit exaggerated, it was still quite terrifying energy for the weakening mysterious side.

Mieko Oshiba's jumping off the building, as well as the curse of the water god in the lake, the clues derived by Hyuga Company gradually became clear. Kazuma closed his eyes and pondered, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of his newly-given "Tiandao" entry, which was shining slightly at the moment.

"...Very good." Kazuma nodded, looking at the direction where the fishy smell was wafting, and his expression turned solemn. "Let's go, Qingliu, let's go do justice for heaven."
