"Three thousand points of faith have been detected in the puppet body of the Raven God. Three thousand points of merit can be recovered. Do you wish to recover them?"
If it weren't for the system reminder, Matsuda would have almost forgotten about this matter.
Naturally, they immediately agreed to the recall.
Then, countless tiny, shimmering white orbs of light floated out from the puppet body of the Raven God.
Inside each small sphere of light, there was a faint figure, head bowed, hands clasped in prayer.
These small orbs of light floated up to Matsuda and, as if touched by something, gradually turned from their original luminous white to golden yellow.
The figures that had appeared above also vanished.
These small golden balls quickly all burrowed into Matsuda's body.
In Matsuda's view, the merit points on the system interface were also rapidly increasing, finally stopping at 92,000.
……
As we left the shrine, the crow flew into the air and led the way.
Matsuda followed in his police car, and they soon left the Tokyo city area and arrived in the nearby suburban mountains.
After flying for a while, the crow suddenly stopped and began to circle high in the sky.
Matsuda parked the car, got out, and saw that the area ahead was still dense forest, with nothing unusual.
strange?
He looked up again at the crow in the sky, which was still circling there, occasionally cawing.
It seemed to be telling Matsuda that the destination was just ahead.
Could it be hidden by something?
Matsuda recalled Teng Xiangming's description of the woman's strange magic, and a thought struck him. He slowly lifted his foot and walked forward.
As he walked, he suddenly felt the air around him freeze.
Before me was still a dense forest, but my whole body felt as if I had stepped into a water sphere in an instant.
A constant pressure emanated from all around his body.
It was indeed hidden by something!
Matsuda became increasingly certain of his guess and took a few more steps forward.
The oppressive feeling that came from all directions vanished instantly, and the dense forest that had been looming before their eyes also disappeared.
Instead, a dark red two-story villa was erected.
In front of the villa, the Ghost Knight was confronting a woman, or rather a girl.
The girl looked to be no more than a teenager, in the prime of her youth, with long, crimson hair and wine-red eyes, giving her a mysterious air.
However, her attire rather ruined the atmosphere; the dark red cloak was relatively normal, though.
But something was off about the outfit underneath, which was almost as revealing as a bikini.
And the cobra-like headdress on the girl's head...
This style of clothing is very similar to that of Egyptian dancers.
In this current context, it just looks awkward no matter how you look at it!
Chapter 144 Witch
Matsuda sized up the girl, who was also staring at him with a sullen face.
How could an ordinary person have broken in?
The girl frowned slightly, then a light appeared on her body, and a gust of wind swept up from in front of her and rushed towards Matsuda.
The girl wanted to drive the intruder out.
Unfortunately, the moment she moved, the Ghost Knight had already positioned himself in front of Matsuda, raising his hand and plunging his longsword into the ground at his feet.
It stood firm and unmoved in the fierce wind.
Does this person know the Ghost Knight? The girl's pupils contracted sharply.
Last night, she was almost cleaved in two by a ghostly knight who suddenly appeared outside Yoko Okino's apartment.
I originally thought I could get rid of this monster knight by using the flying broom.
Unexpectedly, the other party chased after her all the way, eventually forcing her to open the magic workshop and use the defensive magic she had set up to fight back.
Thanks to the workshop's defenses, the girl managed to fight the ghost knight to a draw.
But now, it has a helper!
Thinking of this, the girl suddenly felt nervous.
On the other side, after the storm subsided, Matsuda patted the Ghost Knight on the shoulder and stepped out from behind it.
He had intended to ask the girl why she attacked Teng Xiangming.
Unexpectedly, the girl, in her nervousness, seemed startled by his actions and flung a fireball at him!
"Snapped!"
The fireball was shattered by the Ghost Knight's sword.
Dry!
Matsuda looked at the Ghost Knight blocking his way, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead,
Just now, if the Ghost Knight hadn't reacted quickly enough,
He's probably just like Teng Xiangming now, with a receding hairline.
"Catch her!"
Furious, Matsuda immediately gave the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Knight immediately brandished his longsword and charged forward.
Got it wrong!
This guy is actually the master of Ghost Knight!
The girl bit her red lips angrily and hurriedly ran towards the villa.
As soon as she entered, the two doors of the villa closed automatically.
Unfortunately, the Ghost Knight following closely behind was no gentleman; he immediately brandished his longsword.
Amidst the cracking and splintering sounds of the wood breaking,
The villa's wooden door was cleaved into several pieces by it.
The Ghost Knight broke into the villa from the shattered area.
Matsuda hurriedly followed him inside, but as soon as he stepped into the villa, the world spun before his eyes.
When they could finally see their surroundings clearly, what they saw before them was not the villa they had just been looking at, but an endless grassland.
Is this... magic?
Matsuda looked up at the red sun in the sky, then took two steps forward.
Then I saw the Ghost Knight rushing around the grassland like a headless fly.
Although he didn't know how the girl got him to the grassland.
But she clearly had another purpose in doing this.
Matsuda was worried that the girl was hiding nearby, so he quickly ordered the Ghost Knight to stay by his side and then carefully observed the surrounding situation.
He soon realized something was wrong.
Even though the sun was very bright, he couldn't feel any heat at all.
Is this an illusion?
Is everything I'm seeing in front of me fake?
Matsuda's heart skipped a beat. He was in the grassland, but he couldn't smell the scent of grass at all.
Don't all of this show that what we see before us is all an illusion?
Oh, and the smell!
Thinking of this, Matsuda quickly took out the summoning flag, waved it once, and a lithe figure leaped out from it.
"Wang..."
After John came out, he obediently sat down in Matsuda's place, looking at Matsuda with both eyes, waiting for him to give orders.
Matsuda patted John's head and gave the instructions.
"There should be a woman hiding here. Use your nose to find her!"
"Wang Wang..."
John twitched his nose, sniffed around a few times, then immediately stood up and darted towards Matsuda's left front like an arrow.
The next second, Matsuda heard a sharp scream.
"Let go! Let go of my skirt!"
As the girl cried out, cracks appeared in the grassland before Matsuda's eyes, like glass, before shattering into countless points of light.
The illusion shattered, and what appeared before Matsuda was the lobby of the dark red villa from before.
The girl in the strange clothes was standing not far from Matsuda.
She was holding a sickle-shaped weapon in her hand, angrily confronting John.
The girl's long dress, which resembled the style of an Egyptian dancer, had its hem torn in several places.
Judging from the girl's angry expression, it was clearly John's doing.
After the illusion disappeared, the Ghost Knight, without waiting for Matsuda's orders, leaped up behind the girl in three quick steps.
Just as the girl was about to make a move, John immediately bared his teeth and roared.
