I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"——This is the story of me and Shiki, even though it was already two years ago."

Mikiya's tone was not much different from usual, but both Orange and Shinji could hear the deep affection and perseverance hidden under the calm appearance and gentle tone.

It was precisely because of this that Shenji wished him heartfelt blessings. People like Chengzi who didn't care about the world and mundane things would be willing to help such an ordinary person, almost for free.

"Then he stopped growing?" Chengzi held his chin thoughtfully.

"According to my understanding, the only way to completely fix your body is to become a Death Apostle, but it doesn't sound like it from your description." Shinji wiped the tired look from his face and sat up from the sofa.

Death Apostle, a category of vampires.

Vampires are mainly divided into two categories, namely "true ancestors" and "dead apostles".

The "True Ancestor" is an innate vampire species. He has been a species different from humans since his birth. He is a special existence among vampires.

They are a species created directly by this planet in order to restrain human beings. They can be said to be existences with a natural touch, similar to ancient "elves" or "original gods" that were earlier than human history.

It is worth mentioning that the "True Ancestor" has no physiological need for blood. They are classified as vampires because they have a certain flaw since birth, and this flaw is the urge to suck blood. All true ancestors are eager to suck the blood of the "human beings" who they should restrain. Blood is like drugs to "human beings". Once sucked, it is difficult to resist this temptation and can only continue to suck blood to fill the gap. Spiritual thirst.

"Dead Apostles" are acquired vampires and are also the prototypes of vampires in various legends. Most vampires in the world are Death Apostles.

Dead Apostles are basically humans who evolved through certain processes. Some are "dead disciples" who were sucked by the blood of the "true ancestor", and some are transformed by magicians through special rituals in order to extend their lifespan.

No matter which one it is, becoming a "Dead Apostle" means a change in the form of existence. From the moment you become a "Death Apostle", your body has already fallen into a death-like state and therefore will no longer grow. In order to maintain an almost eternal body, "Dead Apostles" must suck blood regularly, just like humans eating. This is a survival instinct that cannot be violated.

"Yes, if he had become a Dead Apostle, he would have gotten up and sucked blood long ago. He wouldn't have stayed in bed for two years."

Orange agreed with Shenji's statement.

"Then how do you write her name? It should be one character in Chinese characters, right?"

"Her name is Shi, Su Shi's Shi, what's wrong?" Qianye gestured in the air with some confusion.

"Shikigami's Shiki, and his surname is Liangyi. This is so perfect." A trace of disbelief flashed in Cheng Zi's eyes, and he murmured to himself.

"What, are you interested?" Shenji asked pointedly.

"Yeah, I'm very interested, what about you?" Chengzi admitted frankly.

"I'm also a little interested. Well, since you are planning to intervene, I won't worry about it. I have a lot of things at hand. By the way, if you find anything, remember to tell me."

Even though he acted casually, Cheng Zi still noticed something unusual between Shen Er's eyebrows.

"You seem to know something?"

Shenji scratched his head unconsciously: "That's right, but it's not an important matter, and the source of the information is not reliable, so I won't say anything, so as not to affect your judgment."

"I always feel like you're hiding something. Forget it, the hospital is in the suburbs. I'll go over and take a look."

After receiving Miyako's affirmative reply, Orange grabbed his coat and walked out the door in a hurry.

When Chengzi left, Qian also let go of the document in his hand and met Shinji's big eyes.

"Is there something wrong with her?"

"It's not the problem, it's the specificity."

Shinji was not surprised by Mikiya's keenness.

"I don't know if you've noticed that your girlfriend is not an ordinary person, but someone like me and Miss Orange."

"Yeah, I know."

He knew it a long time ago, but he just didn't care.

"Such a person will never be peaceful in his life. Are you ready to wake up? Mikiya Kurogiri."

"I don't know if she has done a good job of awakening or something, but no matter what happens, I will be with her and believe in her."

Qianye's smile is warm and mellow, like a jar of old wine, exuding the intoxication accumulated over time.

"That's enough. Don't ever forget what you said today." Shenji patted Miyabi's shoulder hard, "To know the specialness of the two rituals, you must first understand the secrets of the Ryoyi family. The information I have in this regard It’s very limited and mostly speculative. The only thing I can tell you is that the Ergyi family is one of the ‘Four Great Exorcism Families’, and the rest needs to be investigated by yourself.”

"Four major exorcism families, right?" Qianye immediately took out his notebook and wrote it down.

"Given that the Liangyi family has not interfered with your relationship with the Liangyi family for so many years, they should not do anything to you. But it is still necessary to stop in moderation. If they give you a warning, you should stop immediately."

"clear."

"Also, take this with you."

Shinji said as he took out three rune stones from the waist bag where the rune stones were stored.

"The square one can provide you with five minutes of protection; the triangular one can improve your body function in a short period of time and make you run faster; the round one is a signal for help. If you encounter danger, crush it depending on the situation. After all, it's me. The one who asked you to investigate should always ensure your safety."

"Thank you very much." Qianye thanked him and carefully put away the rune stone.

"No need to thank you, I just have something to ask of you. While you are investigating the Liangyi family, please let me check the information on the other three families. The 'Four Great Demon Exorcism Families', Liangyi, Wu Jing, Qian Shen, and Qiye."

"Asakami?"

"It's the family that Fujino comes from. This family disappeared after going bankrupt three years ago. You just need to help me pay attention to where they are going. You should pay more attention to the other two families. Pay attention, just a little, don't go too deep. Let me set a limit for you - the investigation can only be done within Guanbuzi City, if you need to go out of town, stop here."

"knew."

Qianya is very measured in what he does, and he never shows off if it's not related to Shiki.

"I'll go now?"

"Go now. I'll say hello to Sister Chengzi. I will also temporarily take over the work of the office."

Five minutes later, Shenji was the only one left in the huge office. He transferred the only phone used for external communication to the coffee table, and then lay back on the coffee table, his eyes half-open and half-closed, unfocused.

"Two rituals? Two rituals, Tai Chi generates two rituals, two rituals divide yin and yang, the yin pole generates yang, the yang pole generates yin, forming a self-contradictory spiral, which is the most perfect formula. In contrast, a person with only a single personality People are a little bit worse."

"Haha, Mushroom really likes the name Shiki."

PS: The original gods are derivatives of the will of the planet, and are no different from the concept of true ancestors.

PS2: In the previous chapter, some readers thought it was a provocation, but it was really not a provocation. It's just that the relationship between Miya and Shiki needs to be explained. Mushroom spent so much time describing it, it would be awkward if I didn't mention it at all.
