Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 606 - Chapter 606 Chapter 535 Isobushi_2

Chapter 606: Chapter 535: Isobushi_2 Chapter 606: Chapter 535: Isobushi_2 For an entire afternoon, Roger and Uma had been tracking the movements of that unknown force. Indeed, as Uma said, the enemy had become more brazen, adopting many extreme measures, and the search area continued to shrink.

At the same time, Roger also knew that they were looking for a girl named Yukiko.

She was the granddaughter of Michihiro Morita; finding her would be crucial to locating Michihiro Morita himself.

Knowing the enemy’s objective, Roger felt somewhat relieved.

He had decided that as soon as the opposition found the girl, he would take her away directly. In the meantime, he also hoped to find an opportunity to recruit Higurashi Chika.

If it came down to it, he would take them both away.

“You said during the day…”

Higurashi Chika set down her chopsticks, breaking the silence.

Roger lifted his head, and in the dim light, he saw determination in the girl’s eyes.

Roger smiled.

“Whenever you want to learn, I’m ready.”

“The swordsmanship of the Autumn Water Fraction involves two weapons of different lengths. I’ve made some modifications to this aspect, or else it would have been impossible to overcome the hurdle of condensing a Guardian Spirit.”

Senka nodded, understanding the significance behind Roger’s words. She was eager to reach Third Tier to leverage the Guardian Spirit and the resonance between bloodlines to find her father.

The undertone in Roger’s words had already informed Higurashi Chika that the Guardian Spirit had undergone some changes and was no longer the pure Nekomata of the Autumn Water Fraction.

But for Higurashi Chika, she had no other options.

“Please!”

Higurashi Chika gave a formal bow, earnestly speaking.

“Tomorrow afternoon then!”

Roger glanced at Senka, “I have something to do in the morning, I need to go out.”

Higurashi Chika’s expression shifted slightly, “That works too.”

Roger then briefly outlined the changes in the training to Higurashi Chika. They didn’t talk for long and both went back to their rooms to rest.

Descending underground, Senka saw Yukiko slumped on the couch, the television flickering with images, but Yukiko’s gaze was not on it.

“Roger will be going out tomorrow morning, which would be the perfect opportunity for you to leave.”

“Where do you plan to go?” Higurashi Chika asked.

“To be honest, I’ve been contemplating lately where that old man could have hidden himself. Do you think he might have left Sunrise?”

“Does he have some connection with the guys to the south? Could he have run to that country?” Yukiko pondered.

“I detest the smell of curry. I really don’t want to set foot on that land unless it’s necessary.”

“What about the colossal entity next to us?”

“The bygone Empire of Ten Thousand Dawns.”

Higurashi Chika said.

“Impossible, that’s too dangerous.”

“Without permission, any Transcendent who sets foot there has to die.”

“That place exists in its own realm, those inside can’t come out, and outsiders aren’t allowed in.”

“That’s not a place we should be considering.”

As they spoke, Yukiko’s mood gradually darkened, for she had thought of a place.

Their eyes met, each guessing the meaning in the other’s gaze.

“Yukiko, don’t be rash.”

“Unless it’s absolutely necessary, we must not enter that place.”

“It’s a one-way trip, I’m well aware.”

Yukiko smiled.

“Don’t worry, I haven’t had my fill of the world outside yet. At the very least, I want to finish the series I’m following.”

Yukiko said cheerfully, then turned her attention back to the television.

“This guy…” Higurashi Chika shook her head and left the room.

Meanwhile, at a certain location in Lingyuan County, Kanako was recklessly destroying everything in sight.

“No matter the cost, we must find her!”

“I have a method…”

A voice emerged from the corner.

“Speak!”

“Life Soul Sacrifice!”

The person coldly spat out three words.

The room fell silent the moment the words were spoken.

“Time is too short, we’re looking for a Third Tier Onmyoji with the clues we have. This will require a massive number of Living Souls, where are we going to find them?”

Someone objected.

“I have a way!”

Kanako suddenly looked up, her Aya Bat appearing slowly behind her, a grim expression on her face as she declared, word by word, “Kill, as long as there are enough deaths, it will suffice!”

Everyone gasped, “If we do this, we’ll be hunted down until death!”

“Really?” Kanako scoffed.

“If we do nothing, we will die tomorrow.”

“Tell me,”

“How should I choose?”

A moment later, murderous intent crawled across everyone’s faces.

One phone call after another was dialed out.

Kanako was smart; she didn’t directly cause a bloodbath but with every call made, a countless amount of money also flowed out.

In this world, nothing is more terrifying than the human heart.

For the right price, far too many people are willing to pick up the butcher’s knife.

Car accidents, robberies, vendettas.

All night long, chaos unfolded throughout Lingyuan County, and yet it was ordinary people who were moving to act, until finally, as the sky began to lighten, Kanako and her cohort had collected a sufficient number of living souls.

Although this method was a bit slower, it at least avoided some unnecessary interference. By the time the Onmyoji responsible for the area realized what was happening, they had already completed the ritual and escaped.

The plundered living souls had to be used immediately. Kanako and her associates had not a shred of mercy. Compared to their own lives, everything else was trivial.

The sun rose.

A hint of a smile flashed in Kanako’s blood-red pupils.

“So you were hiding here.”

She got to her feet.

“Let’s go!”

Meanwhile, having finished his breakfast, Roger walked out the door, planning to leave.

Beep beep.

A car horn sounded nearby. Roger looked up and through the window saw a familiar face.

“Aoki-kun.”

Roger really couldn’t understand Aoki Kazuo’s persistence. He waved a greeting and started his car, driving away.

Not long after Roger had left, his phone rang. He answered it, and Uma’s voice came through.

“Something’s not right. These guys seem to have pulled some strings last night. Just a short while ago, they all came out of their hiding spots and surged towards the outskirts of Lingyuan County.”

A thought struck Roger.

“They found the target. Where are they?”

“Uh…”

“They’ve reached the outskirts of the town where you live.”

“What?”

Roger pulled over.

“You’re saying that Yukiko, who’s called ‘the snow child’, is in this place where I live?”

“I’m afraid that’s the case,” Uma replied, also sounding helpless.

“Is this the surprise you’ve arranged for me?” Roger asked with a deadpan expression.

“Dear master, you think too highly of me,” Uma said, seeming innocent.

“It’s totally coincidental, and that girl might have only recently escaped here,” Uma assured seriously.

“She couldn’t possibly be living under the same roof as you…” Uma said, almost petulantly, but then, just a second later, Roger heard the sound of heavy breathing over the phone.

He was struck with a sudden concern.

“What’s happening?” A vague idea sprang to mind.

“They’ve stopped.”

“Where?” Roger asked, sounding drained.

“At your house… oh no, wrong, at that girl’s house.”

“Higurashi Chika.”

At that moment, Roger suddenly felt that only two words could express how he felt.

Before he could even express his emotions, Uma’s voice came through again.

“I must remind you.”

“We need to hurry…”

“Uh…”

Before Roger could speak, a brief sound suddenly came over the phone.

“No wonder I’ve felt uneasy.”

“Turns out someone has been watching me…”

Roger was taken aback. He had never met the owner of the voice, but the composure and the bearing in the speaker’s words immediately made him think of a piece of information Uma had once mentioned.

That Fourth Tier Transcendent!

“And a beauty at that.”

“Tsk tsk.”

A sinister laugh erupted.

“The Oriental World can be very dangerous.”

“Giggles.”

Uma let out a series of chuckles.

“Dangerous, is it?”

She said carelessly.

“Mr. Kun doesn’t think so,” Uma’s words made Roger instantly understand her implication.
