The Demon’s Menu
Chapter 1060: The Gradually Completed ’Arsenal’ (2)

Hmm?

He saw He Tai standing at the door.

The vigilant roaming Onmyoji was patrolling around at the time, and when Onodera’s gaze landed on him, the roaming Onmyoji glared back fiercely.

Onodera, on the other hand, lifted his hand to remove his cigarette, greeting He Tai with a grin.

Just as he habitually did in the past.

This made the roaming Onmyoji’s expression turn even more unfriendly.

Instinctively, the roaming Onmyoji felt that the guy in front of him didn’t look like a good person.

Smiling at this moment, he seemed even more like a smiling tiger.

Suddenly, the roaming Onmyoji’s attention was drawn to Onodera.

Similarly, Onodera’s attention was also captured by the roaming Onmyoji.

He Tai!

He had read the files.

The roaming Onmyoji, with a decent mastery of Yin-Yang techniques and rumored to have Shikigami, his background was not yet clear, but he had a bit of fame in the ’Inside World’, mingling with all social circles.

Indeed, he was an excellent candidate!

The more Onodera observed, the more satisfied he became.

When the action team indicated their control over the scene, he immediately drove away.

Time waits for no one.

He had to take action.

...

Jason’s lunch was settled with fast food delivery.

Fried chicken, fries, burgers.

Besides Hui Lijing, who got a hot lemon juice, everyone else’s drink was soda.

Gulp, gulp, ah!

A tilt of the head, and the entire bottle of soda went down the throat.

Followed by a satisfied burp.

Indeed a lingering pleasure.

It’s said that a 2-dollar soda, the first sip is worth 1.5 dollars.

But that’s just for ordinary people, for Jason, a whole bottle is just one gulp.

No need to differentiate the value.

"If there was some liquor, that would be great."

The old monk sitting at the dining table sighed like this.

After a gulp of soda, the previously listless old monk immediately perked up.

"Yeah, ice-cold beer would be perfect."

He Tai, sitting at the dining table, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After gobbling down a burger, Hui Lijing stood up.

"I need to return to the café."

"I’ll come back in the evening."

The female detective said so.

Dreaming of being a barista, she wouldn’t close without good reason.

"Take care."

The old monk immediately said.

With recent troubles, naturally, the old monk would prefer Hui Lijing to stay at Tongshou Temple, as it was the safer option.

But the old monk didn’t explicitly state this.

Because Hui Lijing’s sister is Hui Lixiang.

Nobody could guarantee what the lady was thinking.

And who could guarantee that the lady didn’t have other arrangements?

After all, she was quite concerned about her younger sister.

What if his well-intentioned meddling disrupts the lady’s plans?

The old monk shook his head with a wry smile.

He did not wish to be on the receiving end of the lady’s punches.

Watching the departing detective, He Tai frowned.

In the eyes of the roaming Onmyoji, the detective’s departure at this time was unwise.

If something went wrong, it would be an opportunity for others.

Why didn’t the Master stop her?

The roaming Onmyoji was puzzled.

He could see it.

Master Tongshou Temple surely could see it too.

And perhaps even much deeper than he could.

Wait!

Maybe the Master has another strategy in mind?

I’m only seeing the second layer, but is the Master looking at the fifth?

The roaming Onmyoji subconsciously directed his gaze at the old monk from Tongshou Temple.

Seeing the calm old monk, the roaming Onmyoji was even more convinced of it.

Then, when his gaze fell on the silent and voraciously eating Jason, he suddenly had a realization.

The Master’s focus was on Jason, he could not afford to be distracted.

At the same time, it was also a test for Jason.

Testing whether Jason would advise Ms. Hui Lijing.

But it’s very clear that Jason, a guy who bears the bloodline of a great demon, has not a single ounce of humanity in him.

He doesn’t even care about his companions!

But I’m different!

I won’t just stand by and watch my companions fall into danger!

I have to...

Wait a second!

Did the Master anticipate this situation long ago?

It’s precisely because I’m here that the Master set up this test.

At this time, the wandering Onmyoji took another look at the old Monk of Tongshou Temple.

The old Monk of Tongshou Temple, who was continually being stared at, didn’t show the slightest discomfort. He simply smiled faintly and then, brought his hands together in prayer.

In awkward times, the old Monk of Tongshou Temple often did this.

However, to the wandering Onmyoji’s eyes, such a gesture was extraordinary.

This is the Master’s affirmation of me!

Thinking this, the wandering Onmyoji also stood up.

"I understand!"

"I will definitely ensure Ms. Hui Lijing’s safety!"

After the wandering Onmyoji finished speaking, he turned around and strode off in pursuit of the female detective.

The old Monk watched the Onmyoji’s departing figure and could not help but blink.

What did you understand?

How come I don’t understand?

The old Monk of Tongshou Temple was completely puzzled.

"You’ll get used to it."

After swallowing the last hamburger, Jason spoke indifferently.

This indifferent demeanor ignited a trace of shame in the old Monk of Tongshou Temple’s heart.

"Truly worthy of being a real Master."

"As for me, a Monk who entered the monastery halfway, my concentration is still inadequate."

While speaking, the old Monk of Tongshou Temple stood up, cleaned up the post-meal trash on the table, and then entered the main hall, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue to begin chanting scriptures.

Jason, on the other hand, sat on the stone bench in his original spot, reviewing the gains from the morning.

[Silence Technique (Proficient): Invented by the second-generation Master of Tongshou Temple, originally the second-generation Master only wanted to chant scriptures late at night without disturbing others’ sleep, but over time it developed into a secret technique; Effect: Within a 2-meter radius around the user, sounds will not be heard by others, a certain amount of Physical Strength is consumed during use]

(Annotation: ’Sound’ propagates through vibration, change the vibration, and it becomes silent — Master Tongshou Temple, Second Generation)

...

[Vajra Palm (Novice)]: This is one of the few secret techniques passed down from the first-generation Master of Tongshou Temple. Unlike ’Vajra Body’, not only will the practitioner’s hands become exceptionally sturdy, like steel, but when combined with skill, they will possess penetrating striking force, and now you’ve only grasped the basics, just entering the novice stage; Effect: Hands attain ’blade’ level defense and penetration power]

(Annotation: The first-generation Master was truly unfathomable — Master Tongshou Temple, Second and Third Generation)

...

The [Silence Technique], like most of the secret techniques Jason has come into contact with,

Doesn’t need Excitement of Feast for the basic, novice, and proficient levels, it consumed a total of 15 points.

But upgrading to Proficiency Level requires 15 points of satiety and 1 point of Excitement of Feast.

For [Vajra Palm], obtaining the basic and novice levels cost 50 points of satiety, and to advance to the next level, it requires 45 points of satiety and 1 point of Excitement of Feast.

At this moment, Jason’s satiety is remaining at 594 points.

This made Jason, who had just recently brought his satiety back up above 700 points, uneasy.

He needs more satiety.

However, Jason knew that such an expense was worth it.

The [Silence Technique] is a really convenient secret technique, and can be encountered in any situation.

And the [Vajra Palm]?

It is exactly what Jason wants.

In order to maximize his Talent, Jason doesn’t mind using secret techniques to make himself ’stacked’ even thicker and tougher.

Especially since [Vajra Palm] itself also has offensive power.

It even enriches his arsenal.

The only regret is the ’Vajra Body’!

According to the old Monk, it was lost.

In the fifth generation of Tongshou Temple Masters, an accident occurred.

This made Jason feel particularly regretful.

But, the old Monk of Tongshou Temple also mentioned that compared to the [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique], ’Vajra Body’ is really nothing at all.

Thus, Jason is very curious and anticipating about [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique].

However, because it was lunch time and the old Monk was also very tired, the inheritance had temporarily come to an end.

Their appointment was rescheduled for the evening.

Jason would not refuse this.

First, because it was lunchtime.

Second, if [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique] is really as miraculous as the old Monk says, the current satiety is not enough; at least Excitement of Feast is needed to achieve his goals of quick learning.

"Excitement of Feast, huh?"

Jason stroked his chin, pondering.

Then—

Tap, tap tap!

A familiar sound of footsteps arose.

Lively and rhythmic.

Jason turned his head to look and was taken aback.
