Chapter 3 Mutation
"There are results."

The interrupted Ishii Koichi was stunned for a moment, and then continued excitedly: "I found a lot of shrines that are said to be very efficacious. I will text you the list and address later. There is a shrine closest to us. I heard that the palace minister there is My mother-in-law is particularly good at exorcising evil spirits.”

"Thank you." Link thanked him solemnly.

He vaguely guessed that he was changing in an inhuman direction because of the three-eyed crow, but neither he, who has been obsessed with supernatural phenomena in his life, nor Hui Guang, a traitor to Buddhism, had no understanding of things about gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts. It cannot explain its own changes at all.

However, he thought that since there are demons and ghosts in this world, humans should also have ways to deal with them. Otherwise, how could humans build a prosperous civilization and dominate the earth, so he asked Ishii Koichi to check if there were any particularly efficacious shrines, temples, etc., and just do as the Romans do. Well.

"That's too polite." Ishii Koichi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since we have gotten to know each other, can Lin Sang take me with him next time he removes spirits?"

"It should be no problem." Link hesitated for a moment. After thinking about it, encountering monsters and monsters should be rare. Before awakening the memory of his past life, he only encountered them once in a few years. He would not be so unlucky to encounter them several times in a row.

etc!This feeling……

A familiar and quite vile smell entered his perception. He couldn't tell whether it was smell, hearing or touch that he sensed. Anyway, there was something staring at him, and it was very familiar.

Yes, the smell of the Three-Eyed Crow, but much weaker.

Link paused, looked around, and followed the smell to a middle-aged man wearing a dark suit and carrying a briefcase across the street.

The same monster as the Three-Eyed Crow?
The middle-aged man was staring straight at Link. When he saw him looking over, a smile slowly appeared on his face. He looked like a doll, which was a little scary.

"Hey, Lin Sang, what's wrong?" Ishii Koichi noticed that Link suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

"It's okay." Link withdrew his gaze. His senses told him that the guy with the same smell as the Three-Eyed Crow would not leave easily. "You go back first, I have something to do."

Regardless of whether that guy is a monster or not, as long as he doesn't hurt others, he will still be confident when facing the enemy head-on.

"Um" Ishii Koichi was startled, nodded and said: "Then contact me again, Lin Sang." After that, he turned and left.

"Remember to send the list and address of the shrines and temples as soon as possible." Link reminded that the mutation in him also needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Ishii Koichi clicked on his phone with one hand, made an OK gesture with the other hand, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Link quickly walked into the underground passage, twisted and turned, returned to the ground, and circled twice in the opposite direction. In the alley where there were no pedestrians nearby, the smell came up again.

"Who are you?" He looked at the middle-aged man at the entrance of the alley, trying to communicate first. He was far away just now and didn't pay attention. Now he could clearly see that the corners of the middle-aged man's eyes were covered with fine lines like roots.

The middle-aged man grinned and drooled. He rushed forward like a mad dog, using all four limbs in an attempt to hug Link.

"Boom!" Link kicked him to the corner, stepped lightly with his toes, and destroyed his limbs. He pressed his chest with the soles of his feet and asked again expressionlessly: "What the hell is 豼?"

"click~"

"Ka~" "Ka~"

The sound of hard objects rubbing against bones and skin kept coming. A strange tree root-like object the size of a human head tore through the middle-aged man's skin and emerged from the eye socket. The middle-aged man lost his breath on the spot.

"Whoosh!" A strange object like a tree root curled in the air and then bounced over.

Link stretched out his hand and pinched the head of the tree root. If you look closely at the head of the thing, there are dense cracks with brown pupils. The extending roots are extremely sharp and crackle on his body, but only the cuffs are broken. Revealing the bronzed skin underneath.

"Very weak."

"But it's more troublesome than the Three-Eyed Raven."

Link made a brief evaluation. In terms of the strength and speed of the parasitized body, the man parasitized by the Three-Eyed Crow was stronger and more concealed. The tree root in front of him would leave traces outside his eyes after being parasitized. .

"Click" he crushed the strange tree roots smoothly, and the breath he could always sense flowed into his body along his arms.

"Hmm~" Link's body stiffened for a moment, and he felt that the roots of his teeth were itchy. When he reached out and touched it, all the teeth became sharp and looked a bit like shark's teeth.

"The strength has become stronger." He clenched his fists and was keenly aware that his strength had increased, "but the physical changes have also become more serious."

He couldn't tell the reason for the moment. Being integrated into the body by the strange black energy would cause changes, and killing the parasitic monster would also cause changes. Is this the world like this?

Link thought quietly for a while, "Let's go to the shrine and have a look. Maybe we can get the answer." After making the decision, he hurriedly left the alley.
-
Three days later, in the morning, Inumaki Shrine.

"It's quite strange to worship the dog god." Link looked at the two big dog statues under the steps, remembered the relevant information he found on the Internet, and couldn't help but touch them.

This is the most efficacious shrine nearby that Koichi Ishii found. It is said that the priest inside, the priest, is particularly good at exorcising evil spirits. Many people who have been possessed by evil spirits or haunted by ghosts have solved their problems here. There are two mountain guard dogs under the steps. Both have the spiritual power to ward off evil spirits, so nearby residents often come over to touch them. The soles of the feet of both statues are shiny to the touch.

The normal shrine naming rules are place name + type + shrine number. This Inumaki Shrine is not an ordinary one, and the Inumaki Shrine does not occupy a large area. According to the pictures on the Internet, you can go up the steps and pass the torii to reach the main shrine. The shrine is very short.

After touching the mountain guard dog, Link quickly crossed the steps. When he stepped into the torii gate, he always felt that there was something blocking him, just like the line at the end of a running race. There was something, but almost nothing. He stepped out with one step. The resistance disappears.

"Jingle bell~"

The torii gate is connected to the fence-like fence next to it by a white rope. A string of bells are hung at regular intervals on the rope. After Link steps into the torii, the bells suddenly ring. It was trembling constantly, filling the entire shrine with a strange atmosphere.

"There is indeed something."

Link did not act rashly and stood quietly listening to the ringing of the bell, waiting for the priest in the shrine to appear.
