Chapter 119 In Modern Times

   "Am I... looking weird?"

   Walking on the street at night, Kikyo felt a little unnatural, reached out and pulled the sleeve of someone next to him, and asked in a low voice.

  Because there are too many people around, she has never imagined the flow of people before. After all, the population density of villages and towns in the Warring States period is comparable to that of a megacity like Tokyo in the modern world.

   It is bustling and flowing, not to mention that it is so exaggerated that it is crowded and pushes each other, but really looking around, the population on a street has far exceeded her imagination.

And the number of people is not the main problem, the problem is that the rate of return is too high, the witch seems to have become the focus of the whole street, attracting envious eyes... I don't know that I am too amazing, or even not at all. Thinking in this regard, the witch subconsciously felt that she might have a problem.

   "Isn't there no more witches in this era..."

   After hesitating for a while, she asked in such a low voice.

The first thing she thought of was this. She felt that it might be because of the conflict between her style of painting and the world five hundred years later. Only he is dressed in white clothes and hakama, and under his feet is a witch costume with white foot bags and straw shoes.

   is completely out of place, perhaps because this profession no longer exists in this world five hundred years later?

   Probably because of this, it attracted so many surprised eyes?

"It's not for this reason, even in my year, in this country, witches were not a rare strangeness that was rarely refreshed..." Gu Mo couldn't help laughing suddenly when he heard the words, and then he shook his head, a little bit. Amusingly soothed Kikyo and explained it.

   Of course it can't be for this reason, after all, the witch is still an important profession in Japan until modern times.

Especially in modern times, there are no strict restrictions on becoming a witch, and this profession is no longer limited to a sacred psychic status. To some extent, it has become more common. Some modern women will go to shrines to work. , as a part-time witch...

   "Really? Then why are they all looking at me like that?"

   Kikyo frowned slightly, not sure if what this person said was true or false, although the tone did not seem to be fake, but the strange eyes she felt from people were real.

   "Isn't this a matter of course? It's naturally because Kikyo is beautiful and has a good temperament, so it's not surprising to be so noticed."

   Gu Mo smiled and shook his head. Do I need to say something like this? At the same time, he looked around very casually, all the eyes he saw were pretending to be calm or dodging in panic. There were also a few girls who were very bold and didn't hide their piercing eyes and looked at him.

   Of course, it was not only the shrine maiden who was noticed, he himself also attracted a lot of attention and heads.

  "..." Kikyo turned his face away gently, without saying a word.

   She didn't breathe a sigh of relief because of his answer, on the contrary, it seemed more unnatural, and even her eyes became a little strange.

Because no one has ever said such a thing to her, she feels very awkward now - she is a witch, and she has always been very aware of this, but she is also a girl, but only in this point It has never been so self-conscious.

   At this time, Gu Mo also felt that the attention was a little high. He originally wanted to tell the witch to go faster, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

Kikyo's feeling for this era is obviously very novel. She is full of doubts and curiosity about everything she has seen along the way, but she did not show it very clearly, she still maintained a considerable degree of calm, but from time to time He would ask him a question in a low voice.

   No one can see such a calm and calm expression, and they probably think that this is a modern witch...

   And Kikyo's performance also made Gu Mo give up the idea of ​​walking faster... After all, this is the first time I saw her in such interest, so it's better to let the witch have fun. Even in this short period of time, Kikyo took the initiative to speak to him more frequently than before.

   Gu Mo thought so, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, wondering if he should be happy at this time.

   "Where is the one in front?"

The    Miko's whisper sounded again, and there was a hint of surprise in her calm gaze, and she asked this question softly while staring at the front.

"That is the entrance of the subway station. People gather at that place to take the subway below... It is the car I told you before. You first simply understand that the subway is an upgraded version of their vehicle, which can carry more vehicles at the same time. It's fine." Gu Mo glanced ahead and explained quickly.

   Although his explanation is not accurate at all, it is the style most suitable for the current shrine maiden, allowing her to quickly understand various novelties and form a basic general understanding of the modern world.

  Perhaps this can also prepare for future plans...

   Such a thought flashed in his mind, Gu Mo didn't think about it, he just stretched out his arms and looked around again. Where his line of sight swept, many pairs of eyes that accidentally met his gaze immediately averted their eyes in panic.

   Regarding the strange qualities of "inconspicuous", "easy to be ignored", and "low presence" that he acquired in the process of deification in the previous world, it did not play its due role in this situation.

  Because it itself is an inadvertent influence after all, it can make him more easily ignored in the past when he has not been noticed, and is in a psychological blind spot. But if others are affected for some reason and have shifted their focus...

   Then this trait will naturally lose its effect. It is impossible to say that people are forced to ignore his existence.

Just like in the Niigu's house before, when Grandpa Higu heard the sound of him or the scabbard, he knew that there was someone in the storage room. When he opened the storage room, he naturally discovered his existence for the first time... Because it's been noticed, that's what it is.

   It's the same now, if Gu Mo himself wandered around the street at night, then there would be no problem.

   He is walking side by side with the Miko now.

   Therefore, after Kikyo has naturally attracted a lot of attention, it is naturally impossible to say that others will ignore his existence. But the bad news is that he and Kikyo are together, and the good news is that he and Kikyo are together, so although many young people are just around the corner, but in the end, no one can't think about it.

   Miko's temperament makes people look up, I don't know how many men who pretend to be calm, after the casual passing, they can't help but look back frequently.

   However, Gu Mo is also not bad, the passive charm brought by the possession of the nine tails is enough to crush it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to resist. Especially with his own growth and the improvement of his attributes, his own "capacity" has correspondingly increased, which can accommodate the greater power of the Nine Tails, and these additional side effects have also been strengthened to some extent.

   But it is precisely because of this that the existence of the two of them has become an obstacle for each other to make others dare not come up to chat with each other.

It's not that Gu Mo didn't see some Shibuya-style girls, probably quite outgoing girls, but he appeared in his sight several times, and walked over aggressively as if to cheer himself up, but he wasn't halfway there yet. , he couldn't help but lose his breath again, staring at the witch's figure with a lot of resentment and choosing to retreat.

   Their own style is definitely quite bold, but in the face of Kikyo's unintentional all-round suppression, all their courage has turned into a downturn.

Thinking of what happened before he entered this dungeon world, Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully while pinching his chin, so it was not without reason that he would be entangled. Those little girls relied on how daring they were on their side, and they saw He was alone and felt that he was being bullied...

   If he walked with the shrine maiden, he would definitely be able to effectively prevent such a riot from happening.

   "There's a mall..."

Seeing that the witch slowed down again, and her eyes were locked on the commercial center with huge traffic on the opposite side, Gu Mo explained again thoughtfully: "It is a place composed of various shops, where you can easily buy various kinds of goods. things, basically everything…”

   "Everything?"

   "Yes, food, clothing, play, all kinds of materials that ordinary people need for life, and everything they can think of can basically be bought in these places..."

Gu Mo nodded and said with his fingers. He is naturally used to this kind of place, but in the view of the witch, it is probably a place that deserves attention and surprises her... In fact, the modern big city What aspect of it didn't surprise her?

He was even keenly aware of Kikyo's prudence. As before, she should have been someone who wouldn't care about other people's strange eyes, and she wouldn't have shown that kind of swaying look to him... Maybe she suddenly came to a In a completely unfamiliar world, the experience and knowledge of the past cannot be used in the new environment.

   If Kikyo was the only one alone, it would be the cold and strict maiden who was awe-inspiring, and she could handle it well.

But there is Gu Mo here, someone she is familiar with, who can understand her, and is more familiar with this strange world than she is, and can help her face this strange world better - people are often in the absence of When you can rely on it, you subconsciously choose to be strong, and vice versa.

   "A mall? It's really nice... I might as well say it's too good."

   Kikyo stared at the big shopping mall where the crowds were surging like ants in front of the main entrance, and there were no one who knows how many people came in and out every moment. After a long while, he nodded lightly and said.

Her tone was a bit inexplicable, like a bit of envy, but Gu Mo knew that she did not start from her own point of view, but from the entire era she lived in... Because in that time of war, hunger and cold were the norm. In an age of precariousness, it is difficult to imagine such a thing.

"Should we go in and have a look?" Gu Mo pondered and tentatively issued an invitation. From his perspective of later generations, he actually felt that the shopping malls of this era were relatively backward, with a strong retro color. After all, Even cell phones are still in the Motorola era.

   But it wasn't for him to see it, so it's still the Miko's opinion.

   After hesitating for a while, Kikyo nodded lightly.

   Just before she took two steps, she suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction with a slight frown. Gu Mo didn't feel anything at first, but the possessed Nine Tails also had an early warning, and following the direction Kikyo was looking, his mental power also spread out, and he quickly sensed the source of the hostility.

   "Maybe it was attracted by the breath of the Four Soul Jade, but with such a small number, the monsters of this era should be very rare..."

  Gu Mo didn't take the red dots that appeared on the minimap to heart, but just randomly analyzed a wave.

   is nothing more than a few trash fish, and the order of magnitude can't go up, he doesn't have to worry about these levels of threats now.

   "Go and deal with them first..."

   Kikyo spoke calmly, although the demonic energy that appeared was very weak, but there were too many ordinary people around. If a battle broke out, she was afraid that it would affect innocent people, so she advocated taking the initiative to attack and destroying the demons who were coming.

"I don't think there is any need to worry. The monsters of this era must have their own way of survival. Since people have regarded them as legends, it means that they have not appeared for a long time, and they blatantly launched attacks in public places. That kind of thing won't happen..."

   Gu Mo's attitude seemed a little noncommittal.

Except for the cannibal mask that was formed during the Warring States Period, but only awakened in the modern world. It doesn't understand the rules of this era at all, and attacked people without any scruples. Basically, there are no other similar examples. ...this situation can explain a lot of problems.

After all, human beings have been making progress all the time, and modern hot weapons are not vegetarians. Except for those big monsters that have been standing at the top of the food chain since ancient times, the vast majority of ghosts and ghosts cannot stop the firepower of modernization... It is not that there are no monsters. Brains, they naturally have their own way of survival.

   "We bring the jade of the four souls..." The witch said lightly.

Maybe the monsters in this era do have their own set, but she doesn't plan to take risks, and the two of them are carrying the jade of the four souls. Maybe because of this thing, those monsters will go crazy. Who can be sure that they will still obey the original set of rules?

   "OK, OK, then come back and have a look, it won't take too long to clean up anyway..."

  Gu Mo nodded politely, and while he was talking, he was already standing on the side of the road, reaching out and calling for a taxi.

   "It's not too late, let's go now." Reaching out to open the car door on one side, Gu Mo smiled and made a gesture of please, very gentlemanly letting her get in the car first.

  “…”

  “…”

  The shrine maiden was silent for a while, her eyes wandering back and forth between the novelty of the taxi and this person, she was hesitant to think about something, and she did not move.

   "Or, Kikyo, are you going to walk?"

   Gu Mo showed a helpless expression: "This metropolitan area is very big, I'm not too familiar with it, I don't know where to find a suitable place to do it..."

This is Tokyo, not Fuyuki City. As one of the three major metropolitan areas in Japan, it is not comparable to the latter's small coastal towns in remote areas, and there is no such thing as "anything that can be held casually in the city." The Holy Grail War" conditions.

   Kikyo was finally persuaded by him, and some of the unfamiliar got into the taxi, Gu Mo went around to the other side to get in the car, and closed the door.

   "Where are you two going?"

The driver asked from the front. He glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror. While sighing in his heart, he couldn't help but glance at the weapons of the two... The witch is carrying a bow on her back, and the young man has a simple style on his waist. The straight knife, suddenly made a murmur in my heart.

But it should be something like that, what cos, etc. Since the animation industry successfully held a large number of animation exhibitions and game exhibitions in the past few years, after using such tricks to attract popularity, the costume culture seems to have suddenly become popular.

   "This...is there a place so remote that no one will go?" Gu Mo replied, "Just send us there."

  Especially remote...

   No one will go...

   Then what are you going to do in that kind of place...

  The taxi driver was stunned for a moment, and then he subconsciously glanced at the quiet witch through the rearview mirror. While being amazed again, he also felt distressed and wanted to slap his chest... Damn! hateful! It's really hateful, can this **** guy explode!

   Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the driver took several deep breaths and tried to calm his voice: "Please, please fasten your seat belts... two or two."

"OK……"

   Gu Mo glanced strangely at the driver in the driver's seat in front of him. Why did he suddenly stop talking, as if he was trying to suppress something?

   But he didn't care, he just turned his head to look in Kikyo's direction and said with a smile, "Put your seat belt on...do you want to help?"

"Um."

   Although he was a little puzzled, he glanced at the driver in front of him, and Kikyo, who was still too unfamiliar with vehicles, nodded.
