Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: In the Secret Room!

"This enhancement effect is quite good."

Hayato muttered.

If his eyes were the limit of physical sight, then his current ears similarly reached the limit of hearing.

Within a hundred meters radius, there were simply no secrets to speak of.

If he continued to enhance, then it wouldn't just be a simple change in hearing.

It was even possible, like the Heavenly Eye, to obtain some more powerful divine ability.

Click!

Hayato pushed open the door and walked out.

Slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, his hearing was amplified to the extreme.

Hayato could even clearly hear his own heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing.

As his attention was concentrated, even the sound of wind flowing was clearly captured by him.

This feeling was like a bat's echolocation.

Gradually, in a completely dark world, a simple topographic map was gradually outlined.

Little fireflies were lit up.

And each firefly represented a person.

"This is much more convenient now."

Hayato closed his eyes and walked forward according to the image in his mind.

Along the way, it was like having God's perspective turned on, he dodged several patrolling bodyguards.

After a moment, he arrived in front of a study.

The source of that strange crying sound was from this study.

Hayato suddenly narrowed his eyes.

His gaze looked towards the corner behind him.

"You've been hiding for so long, aren't you coming out yet?"

As his words fell, a familiar figure walked out from the corner of the corridor.

A tight-fitting martial arts uniform, carrying a longbow on her back, a pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

Long black hair tied into a ponytail, a firm and tall figure, a huge talent that was hard to conceal.

With her movements, above her slender waist, the tightly bound sin swayed up and down, almost bursting out.

Just looking made one worry that slender waist might be broken in the next moment.

"This question should be asked by me."

Hayato narrowed his eyes, his tone was unfriendly.

This Woman's walking technique and peculiarity was just like a cat walking, without any sound.

If it weren't for her breathing and heartbeat speeding up slightly in that very instant, Hayato wouldn't even have known that he was being followed.

"It's so late, sneaking out stealthily, what do you want to do?"

Yuan Boling's voice was cold and clear, it sounded like a cold and aloof older sister.

Hayato narrowed his eyes, he wasn't afraid of this Woman.

What truly made him wary was the longbow on the Woman's back.

If it were outside, Hayato would still have to waste some effort playing a cat and mouse game.

But in this narrow corridor, Hayato had absolute certainty that before the second arrow was shot, he could punch this Woman to death.

However, if he did this, the commotion would be very big and would definitely attract people.

"Layman, aren't you curious where that crying sound from before came from?"

Hearing Hayato's words, Yuan Boling's cold face showed a hesitant expression.

Hayakawa Rin genuinely cared about that crying sound heard before in her heart.

Listening to the gradually approaching footsteps downstairs, Yuan Boling hesitated for a moment and finally chose to compromise.

Hayato smiled slightly, reached out and placed his hand on the doorknob.

A wisp of mana surged out, easily opening the locked door.

Entering the room, a not very large study came into view.

Hayato narrowed his eyes, his gaze looked towards the location of the bookshelf, that faint crying sound was coming from behind the bookshelf.

After searching for a moment, Hayato discovered an ornament on the bookshelf was a bit strange.

Gripping the ornament, he gently pushed.

Rumble!

The bookshelf separated towards both sides.

"Hmm?"

Yuan Boling looking at this scene, was a bit surprised.

How does this guy seem so familiar with this place?

Hayato walked into the basement.

Yuan Boling hesitated for a moment, then chose to follow him down.

Following the steps down, a sealed secret room came into view.

Candles were placed around the secret room, and a barrier spell was inscribed in blood in the center.

Two figures immediately came into view.

"Evil Spirit?"

The moment Yuan Boling saw the Evil Spirit, she reflexively drew a longbow from behind her.

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the arrow that was about to be shot.

"These two Evil Spirits are sealed here and can't run away, what's the rush?"

Hayato said indifferently, looking at the two Evil Spirits in the secret room.

One of them, judging by her appearance, was a beautiful mature young Woman, probably in her thirties.

She was very beautiful and had a very good figure.

But her upturned triangular eyes gave her an indescribable sharpness and meanness.

She was nailed to the wall, with a black nail on each hand, foot, eyebrow, heart, and abdomen.

Under the nails was a yellowed talisman.

These nails and talismans all emitted a faint glow, and although they were not magical artifacts, they possessed spirituality.

They were things blessed and empowered by a Master's magic power.

Besides this Evil Spirit, the other Evil Spirit was imprisoned in the barrier in the center of the secret room.

She looked like she was only about ten years old, with a delicate face like powdered jade, wearing a red kimono.

"Doesn't look like an Evil Spirit."

Hayato looked at the imprisoned Evil Spirit.

Although the aura on her body was somewhat like an Evil Spirit, he couldn't feel any malice.

Instead, she emitted an aura that made people feel very comfortable.

The Evil Spirit nailed to the wall was cursing in pain.

Seeing that the two people who walked in were not Aoi Hai, her cursing stopped for a moment.

She seemed very surprised that it wasn't Aoi Hai who came in.

"It's her!"

Hayato suddenly felt the prayer beads in his hand become restless, and he couldn't help but look down.

"Hayato know her?"

"The Woman who harmed Hayakawa Rin is her."

Tanaka Saya's tone was resentful.

This is Aoi Hai's first wife?

Hayato was slightly surprised. He had thought that Aoi Hai's wife was killed by Aoi Hai to silence her.

But he didn't expect her to become an Evil Spirit.

Tsk!

This is too cruel.

Hayato held the prayer beads in his hand and slowly approached the Evil Spirit nailed to the wall.

"I have a few questions for Hayato. Tell Hayato, and Hayato will let Hayato go."

Cangjing Kumi was slightly stunned and narrowed her eyes.

Although she didn't know if it was true, this condition was too tempting for her.

"What does Hayato want to ask?"

"Who are Hayato."

"Cangjing Kumi."

"Why did Aoi Hai imprison Hayato here?"

"Because of this guy."

Cangjing Kumi's hateful gaze looked at the red kimono loli imprisoned in the center of the secret room.

"Her?"

Hayato raised his eyebrows. The aura on this Evil Spirit was very weak, and she didn't look like a fierce Evil Spirit at all.

"This Evil Spirit seems to be... Zashiki Warashi?"

Yuan Boling suddenly said, her tone somewhat suspicious.

Zashiki Warashi?

Hayato looked at the center of the barrier in surprise.

Zashiki Warashi is a type of yokai in Japan legends.

This type of yokai is not harmful at all, and instead brings good fortune to people.
