Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 605 - Chapter 605 Chapter 535 Isobushi

Chapter 605: Chapter 535: Isobushi Chapter 605: Chapter 535: Isobushi “I don’t like to hear apologies.”

The old man was about 50 years old, with white hair and bright eyes, a tall and muscular figure. He was sitting quietly there, a vague sense of pressure enveloping everyone’s heart.

His right elbow rested on his knee as he played with a transparent goblet in his hand.

Thump!

The bottle on the table suddenly popped open, the liquid inside drawn into the goblet by some unknown force.

In an instant, a fishy smell filled the air.

The old man raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the woman standing not far away.

“Blood.”

He let out a cold laugh.

“Kanako, you should know that I don’t object to occasional indulgence and pleasure, after all, our life level is far superior to that of ordinary people.”

“But…”

A calm turning point, yet the woman standing not far away turned deathly pale.

With a bang, the goblet in the old man’s hand suddenly shattered, shards flying out, some whizzing past Kanako at great speed.

Purple light flashed around her body, and a bat emerged from inside Kanako, but almost the instant her Guardian Spirit appeared, Kanako forcefully retracted it, abandoning all defense and letting the shards fall on her body.

Pu pu pu!

Several cuts appeared, but Kanako remained silent about her injuries.

“Please forgive me, I indeed found some clues in Lingyuan County, but the Aoki Shrine in charge there has noticed our activities.”

“To avoid unnecessary conflicts, I could only… I could only… Ah!”

Before she could finish speaking, Kanako let out a scream as she was lifted into the air by an invisible force.

The old man sat up straight, slowly leaned back in his chair, “You should be glad you didn’t defend just now.”

“Hmm… a reason.”

The old man extended his hand, and in the terrified gaze of Kanako, blood spurted from her wounds.

The wounds varied in depth, but at that moment, the blood seemed alive, eagerly rushing out of Kanako’s body.

Kanako’s complexion turned pale, her skin lost its elasticity, and slowly, the drawn blood gathered in mid-air to form a basin-sized sphere.

Kanako was almost losing consciousness when she thought she would die there, the blood surged back.

Flowing into her body through the wounds once again.

Thump.

Kanako collapsed to the ground, not daring to look up, only hearing a cold voice.

“Tell me, how long will it take to find the target.”

“That old man is too well-hidden; only by capturing his only kin do we stand a little chance.”

“Three… three days, please give me three more days!” Kanako gasped for breath.

“Oh.”

“Three days, huh,” came an indifferent voice.

“Kanako, do you like the full moon?”

A rough hand lifted Kanako’s chin.

Kanako was initially stunned, but soon saw a hint of cruelty in the man’s eyes.

“Tomorrow is the full moon,” he said.

“Dying on such a day should be quite beautiful, shouldn’t it?”

“No!”

“No, please give me another chance!” Kanako stiffened, “By noon tomorrow, I will find her by noon tomorrow!”

Damp fingers caressed Kanako’s neck.

“Can you?”

“I wouldn’t want to inconvenience you.”

“Please rest assured, Uchiyama Mamoru sir, I will complete the task!” Kanako immediately responded.

“It’s too troublesome to come out of that place, I can’t stay for too long, so you have limited time,” Uchiyama Mamoru’s fingers traced Kanako’s cheek, leaving a wet trail, the sensation like that of a cold snake slowly, slowly crawling over her.

“As for the people from Aoki Shrine,” Uchiyama Mamoru said carelessly with a laugh, “I’ll make a trip to their shrine myself.”

“The shrines in the real world are just small fry; if anyone hinders you, you know what to do, right?”

“Please be assured!”

Kanako bowed her head.

“Go do it.”

“You don’t have much time left.”

Upon hearing this, Kanako felt like she received a reprieve and slowly exited the room. Closing the door behind her, she passed through a corridor, where a handsome young man eagerly approached her.

“Miss Kanako…”

“Puh!”

Before he could finish, Kanako’s finger pierced through the man’s neck like lightning.

Blood gurgled out but flowed back into her body along her hollow finger.

Kanako’s wounds were visibly healing, shadows appeared in the corner, and her face darkened.

“Just do it, find her before dawn tomorrow!!”

…

As night fell,

Higurashi Chika had prepared the meal and sat quietly at the table. A lamp was lit in the room, dim, yet adding a touch of warmth to the winter day.

A soft hum of a car approached from outside; Higurashi Chika looked up, and soon after, a figure with a mist of dampness walked in.

“Why are you back so late?”

“Got held up by some things,” Roger responded.

He hadn’t expected rain this season and though only slightly wet, it didn’t make him uncomfortable. Instead, the coolness seemed to invigorate him.

“Come and eat,” Higurashi Chika didn’t ask further.

She wasn’t interested in why Roger drove to Lingyuan City during the day. If Roger didn’t mention it, she wouldn’t inquire.

They ate in silence,

both lost in their own thoughts.

After going to Lingyuan County during the day, Roger had met with Uma, and it was evident that the suppression by the rules greatly affected Uma, who had spent much energy resisting this external oppression.
