Truth is everywhere within range

Even in movies.

Charging with a Scottish broadsword in one hand is still a very courageous scene.

But suppose you are the target of the other party.

Then it would be a bit uncomfortable.

Qiao Qiao didn't know if the props in the movie studio were edged, but a weapon of that weight could kill someone regardless of whether it was edged or not.

In the armored hand, the Scottish broadsword was swung as if it was weightless, bringing out the sound of howling wind.

Even a miko like Kitagawa Ryoko who has never seen the world can feel the resentment coming from the armor.

Eager to fight, eager for an upright duel.

Like a defeated samurai, he is obsessed with winning and losing.

Although I don’t know why such resentment still exists in Kyoto, the Republic of China in the 21st century.

But the obsession with armor still affected these witches.

As if they were being targeted by hunters, the five shrine maidens at Shimogamo Shrine felt a chill running down their spines, unable to move.

will be killed.

Such feelings emerged in Maki Araki's heart.

However, amidst this heavy resentment, Qiao Qiao seemed to be unaffected and walked forward.

"Qiao San."

Maki Araki wanted to dissuade Qiao Qiao, but was unable to do anything. She could only watch Qiao Qiao take two steps forward, face the armor wielding a heavy broadsword, and pull out a pistol.

He took out his pistol.

"?"

Maki Araki was stunned.

The pistol was in the style of a revolver, with an extra long barrel and a metallic sheen all over its body.

Wait a minute, can this kind of thing be taken out casually in Heguo?

Rather, can you use a pistol to remove spirits?

Maki Araki heard Ariko Asano say before that Qiao Qiao's method of removing spirits is somewhat special.

But a pistol? ? ?

Isn’t it too special?

Armor didn't know anything about it, and the broad sword in his hand waved the sword flower and came towards Qiao Qiao.

Resentment clung to the sword, even leaving an afterimage.

"There is a Chinese proverb."

Qiao Qiao loaded the bullet and held it in both hands.

"All kinds of martial arts, this is the explosive bomb."

He fired.

Bang——

Maki Araki could see the bullets ejecting from the muzzle of the gun and exploding instantly.

Countless fragments hit the armor.

Swords and armor are ultimately no match for bullets.

The fragments with spiritual power hit the armor, not only making pits appear in the metal armor, but the spiritual power was still burning and driving the armor's Yin Qi.

Presumably it won't be long before the entire armor will completely lose power and turn into a pile of scrap metal again.

But the armor didn't stop.

Facing the bullet, it continued to charge forward.

Like the glory of the last samurai.

Qiao Qiao fired again.

Bang bang bang bang——

Four bullets in a row hit the armor's limbs, causing it to completely lose its ability to move.

As a habit, Qiao Qiao kept a bullet in his pistol to prevent accidents.

The battered armor fell to the ground, motionless.

"Is it, is it dead?"

Hashimoto Kotone asked subconsciously. After asking, she realized that her question seemed a bit stupid.

Don’t resentful spirits only appear after death?

"What I just did was the main task of removing spirits."

Qiao Qiao did not answer directly, but explained as if he was really teaching.

"As you can see, using simple and direct means to directly destroy the things where the resentful spirits reside is the fastest way to remove them."

“The reason for choosing a revolver is not only the ease of assembly, but also the fact that it won’t jam.”

"The bullets are infused with spiritual power and can effectively kill the resentful spirits."

"Use explosive rounds so you can hit the target without careful aim."

"First use a deterrent shot to confirm the strength of the resentful spirit, and then conduct follow-up shots to completely eliminate the resentful spirit."

"Don't empty all the bullets at once. It's better to keep one bullet in the pistol as a warning. In the words of Kyudo, it's called zanshin."

"But this is not the end. The resentful spirits are very cunning and may pretend to have been eliminated."

Qiao Qiao took out the spiritual water spray from his backpack.

Puff puff--

He sprayed the spiritual water on the armor that was completely motionless for another five minutes.

Then he lit a piece of soul-soothing incense and placed it on the armor's grave.

"Miko Asano, could you please help me perform another ghost removal operation?"

Qiao Qiao said to Asano Ariko again.

"OK!"

Ariko Asano nodded vigorously and took out the royal coin that he carried with him. As he shook it, the spiritual power spread, making the afternoon street quiet and peaceful.

Even the miko maidens calmed down.

"Like this, it counts as completing the work of removing spirits."

Qiao Qiao looked at the shrine maidens at Shigamo Shrine.

"???"

Kitagawa Ryoko and others were shocked.

This is quite different from the promised removal of spirits.

Most people can't learn this skill, right?

Rather, what is the structure of the brain of a person who can think of such a method to eliminate spirits?

"How about it, it should be easy to learn."

Qiao Qiao asked.

"No, no, no, you can't learn this no matter what, right?"

Maki Araki suddenly regretted calling Qiao Qiao.

"Huh? The Soul Exorcist Association cooperates with the Metropolitan Police Department. If you want to take the gun license test, you can get the light firearms license in as little as a week, which is enough to catch up with the Gion Festival."

Qiao Qiao explained.

"This... doesn't seem to be the reason for the gun license, right?"

Kitagawa Ryoko complained.

"Well, it is indeed difficult to buy these weapons in China, but I know an acquaintance who has purchasing channels. If you want to buy them, you can buy them at a discount."

Qiao Qiao continued to explain.

"No, this shouldn't be a question of whether you can buy it or not?"

Sasaki Haruka couldn't help but complain.

"After all, a miko uses a gun to kill spirits."

Hayami Nanase used her mobile phone to search for the keywords of miko and firearms. Of course, there was nothing.

"So, what method do you want to use to get rid of the spirit?"

Qiao Qiao asked rhetorically.

"As far as I know, your archery level is only at the beginner level, and your use of spiritual power does not support mastering the use of Kagura bells and royal coins in a short period of time. Traditional spirit-removing techniques require long-term practice, and What we lack most right now is time.”

"this"

Although he was very reluctant, what Qiao Qiao said was indeed true.

There is less than a month left before the spirit-killing martial arts performance. If within a month, these witches can turn from rookies who know nothing to spirit-killing experts, then Maki Araki will not have to worry.

"The history of mankind is a history of learning to use tools and creating tools. The reason why humans are different from beasts is the use of tools."

Qiao Qiao continued.

"Human beings do not have the strength, speed, and physique of beasts, but they are able to stand at the top of the world because of tools."

"Don't worry, as long as you give me three weeks, I can transform you into a real spiritual master."

"After all, I'm the expert."
