Chapter 118 Cleft Girl
Mitsuki's words made Makoto and Nozaki both stunned. As exorcists with spiritual powers, it was impossible for them not to have heard of the Umekawa family. In the entire exorcist world, basically no exorcist would refuse the Umekawa family's request.
"I am the second daughter of the Umekawa family. We in the Umekawa family can prepare anything you need." Makoto said in an inquiring tone.
"Just pay." Zheng Wenjie suddenly spoke, and melted the gold in the red coffin instantly. After cooling, he took out a square piece of gold and placed it in the middle of the table.
Ever since Zheng Wenjie started talking, Makoto turned her gaze towards him, and now she followed Zheng Wenjie's movements to clearly see the golden business card he placed on the table.
"Linglingtang Cleaning Company." Makoto muttered while lying on the table and looking at the business card.
"Yes... as long as you pay us, we will help." Although Meiyue was puzzled as to why Zheng Wenjie did this, she did not care. She looked at the business card and replied.
Makoto picked up the business card and exclaimed: "It's amazing, a golden business card..." She looked at Zheng Wenjie with her eyes wide open, wearing eye shadow: "Can I accept this business card?"
Zheng Wenjie smiled and gestured for invitation, then said, "The price will vary depending on the level of handling of the supernatural incident. The lowest price is two million yen."
"Mr. Zheng... and Miss Mizuki, do you want to join the special agent team? The monthly benefits alone will not be less than two million yen." The silent Nozaki asked seriously.
Makoto stroked the business card and looked at Zheng Wenjie with shining eyes: "This craftsmanship is rare. Such thin gold is not only not translucent, but also very hard. Is there something added to it?"
"Nozaki-kun, I don't think Zheng-kun will join the special agent team. If we ask Zheng-kun to help us deal with the slit-mouthed woman, how much will we have to pay him?"
Nozaki looked unhappy, but he suppressed his displeasure towards Makoto and said to Zheng Wenjie, "Mr. Zheng, if you join the special agent team, you will not only earn a lot of money, but the special agent team will also prepare everything you need for exorcism in advance."
"Thank you for your invitation, but I have no intention of joining you." Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at Makoto: "For the Slit-mouthed Woman, how about 2 million Japanese yen?"
"Oh~ Mr. Zheng is giving me special care? The fee is very cheap." Makoto leaned on the table with her chin supported by one hand, and curled her pink bangs with the other hand, and blew a kiss to Zheng Wenjie ambiguously.
Mitsuki's smile was a little cold: "Ms. Makoto, how long are you going to rub your legs against me?"
"If I rub Zheng Jun's legs directly, wouldn't it seem that I'm too casual? Speaking of which, sister Mitsuki's spiritual power is awakened later in life, right?" Makoto felt the coldness in Mitsuki's eyes as she looked at him, so she stretched out her long legs and clamped Mitsuki's calves.
Nozaki sighed, "I'm really sorry, Miss Makoto really likes to joke around."
"It's okay, but Miss Makoto should not be much older than me, and we just met today. Isn't it a bit too familiar for you to call me sister directly?" Mitsuki looked at Makoto who was clamping her calves together. It was not that she didn't want to break free, but she was worried that after she broke free, Makoto would lean her legs towards Zheng Wenjie who was standing beside her.
Makoto wrinkled her nose and stroked her cheek proudly: "Sister is 28 years old this year. She has a natural baby face. Judging from her appearance, she is a high school girl, right? Sister has many customers~"
"customer?"
Makoto hummed and looked at Zheng Wenjie in an ambiguous way: "Sister is a hostess, and she is very good at dealing with men. Sister Miyue must always protect Zheng Jun like this, otherwise you don't know when Zheng Jun will follow sister."
After hearing this, Miyuki let go of the hand that had been holding Zheng Wenjie's arm, and looked at Makoto expressionlessly without saying a word.
"Ah, are you angry already? Sister Mitsuki, Zheng-jun is your father. You will feel that you have bad thoughts by doing this." Makoto felt even happier when she saw Mitsuki's expression.
"It looks great!" Nozaki interrupted Makoto's words with a heavier tone, and looked at Zheng Wenjie seriously: "Then Mr. Zheng, the two million yen will be remitted after the slit-mouthed woman is dealt with. If possible, get rid of the slit-mouthed woman tonight. If you delay for another day, more innocent people will be hurt."
"Okay, we have no problem." Zheng Wenjie nodded in agreement.
Nozaki turned his head and looked at Makoto again: "I will try my best to urge Inspector Ikeoka to send people to support us."
"No need, I think Zheng Jun should be enough." Makoto looked at Zheng Wenjie's exposed forearm: "Zheng Jun's body is very strong, and he looks full of strength."
"Nozaki-kun and Zheng-kun are responsible for controlling the slit-mouthed woman, and my sister Mitsuki and I are responsible for dispelling the curse on the slit-mouthed woman."
Nozaki looked at Zheng Wenjie and then at Miyue and said, "Mr. Zheng, I will have someone send enough protective equipment and exorcism talismans. I'll leave it to you and Miss Miyue tonight."
"Okay, that's it." Zheng Wenjie patted Mitsuki's shoulder and looked at Makoto: "Then please ask Miss Makoto to teach us how to use spiritual power."
Makoto shook his head, spread his hands and said, "I think Sister Mitsuki should have learned everything I know. Now Sister Mitsuki is using her spiritual power to attack me."
"When the time comes, just attack the Slit-mouthed Woman like this. After all, the Slit-mouthed Woman is just cursed. If Mr. Zheng wants me to teach Sister Miyue the exorcism spell, then Mr. Zheng must give me some benefits first."
"But although sister Mitsuki seems to hate me, the spiritual power she used is very weak. Is she just trying to teach me a lesson?"
Mitsuki took a deep breath, dissipated her angrily spiritual energy, and looked at Makoto with a smile on her face: "Ms. Makoto, since everything has been discussed, shouldn't you leave?"
Although she absorbed all of Monk Zhencheng's spiritual power, most of it was sealed by Zheng Wenjie, and the spiritual power she could mobilize was even weaker than Makoto's.
Nozaki looked at Zheng Wenjie and couldn't help but frowned, but soon relaxed his brows: "Then we will come to visit you two again after we are ready later."
Makoto stood up, ran two steps from the guest table and sat on the sofa: "Nozaki-kun, go and get ready first. I'll wait for you at Zheng-jun's house. Sister Mitsuki is so cute. Zheng-jun shouldn't mind, right?"
Mitsuki clenched her fists and glanced at Makoto angrily: "I didn't make tea for you, which means I don't welcome you, don't you understand?"
"Oh, is that so? Mitsuki-chan is so adorable." Makoto nonchalantly hugged the pillow in his arms and lay down on the sofa.
"Okay, Miyue." Zheng Wenjie stopped Miyue and looked at Nozaki: "Then Mr. Nozaki should stay too?"
Nozaki shook his head and stood up: "I still need to contact the secret service team. Miss Makoto will be taken care of by Zheng Jun and Miss Mitsuki. I will visit again after I am ready." Zheng Wenjie nodded and watched Nozaki say goodbye and left before smiling at Mitsuki and said: "Miss Makoto, please communicate more. I think Makoto is here not only because you are cute, Mitsuki."
Makoto's ears moved and he sat up and looked at Zheng Wenjie: "Does Zheng Jun know something?"
Zheng Wenjie nodded and pushed Miyue to sit next to Makoto: "I think Miss Makoto has been distracting her attention upstairs. I know the family living upstairs."
Makoto leaned his head on the sofa and looked at the ceiling with a melancholy face: "Their family has provoked a very strong vengeful spirit. We have no way to deal with it, and I... don't want to deal with it."
After exhaling, Makoto turned her head and looked at Mitsuki beside her and smiled again: "Mitsuki-chan, are you still angry? I was just teasing you just now. I'm not a casual person. Nozaki-kun is my boyfriend, um, now he's my ex-boyfriend."
Mitsuki and Makoto looked at each other and sneered, "Ex-boyfriend? That's right. I don't think many people can tolerate the person they love hooking up with other men everywhere, like a hostess!"
"Ah~" Makoto looked at Mitsuki with an aggrieved look on her face: "I haven't done anything to let Nozaki-kun down. I'm just afraid of being alone and I like to be lively, so I became a hostess."
"If Mitsuki continues to be so unfriendly to me, I will really seduce Zheng-jun. I think for a child like Mitsuki, Zheng-jun should prefer mature women like my sister." Makoto said, looking at Mitsuki with a provocative look on his face.
Mitsuki looked at Makoto angrily, her mind full of thoughts on how to make her disappear from her sight.
"Ms. Makoto, stop joking. My daughter seems really angry." Zheng Wenjie placed the brewed tea on the table in front of the sofa.
"Mizuki-chan's eyes are so scary!" Makoto exaggeratedly covered her mouth and looked at him: "Ah, are you really angry? I'm sorry, Mizuki-chan, I won't tease you anymore."
Knowing that Zheng Wenjie was telling her not to think about it anymore, Mitsuki sighed inwardly, forced a smile on her face and looked at Makoto: "It's okay."
Makoto picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at Zheng Wenjie apologetically: "But Zheng Jun will have to take a risk tonight. But please rest assured, I will definitely protect you."
"No, it's not like I'm giving it away for nothing. I have to get paid after all."
Makoto looked at Zheng Wenjie, ruffled her non-mainstream pink short hair, and looked at Zheng Wenjie seriously: "I understand, Zheng Jun! You also chose to adopt Mitsuki because you don't want the supernatural events to affect ordinary people like they affected you. I think you also want to use Mitsuki's power to exorcise the devil."
Mitsuki burst out laughing: "Makoto... Sister, I'm not mad at you anymore. You seem very pitiful. Is it possible that Nozaki-kun is your boyfriend because you can exorcise demons?"
Makoto opened his mouth and patted his forehead: "I'm sorry, Zheng Jun, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say that you opened the exorcism club because you were cursed... No... I wanted to say"
Zheng Wenjie laughed at Zhenqin's tangled expression: "I know what you mean. Are you trying to say that I want to hold an umbrella for others because I've been caught in the rain?"
"Yes, that's right!" Makoto breathed a sigh of relief: "And I believe that you definitely don't want to use Mitsuki-chan by adopting her, it's just that my expression was problematic."
Zheng Wenjie stroked Mitsuki's black and shiny hair: "Why did Miss Makoto say that?"
"Because Mr. Zheng should be a wealthy man! The housing prices have risen so fast in the past two years. This apartment should cost at least 70 million yen, right?"
"Mr. Zheng has no bank loans and bought an apartment in full. Moreover, the craftsmanship of the business card that Mr. Zheng gave me just now is also master-level craftsmanship."
"Mr. Zheng, there is absolutely no need to perform exorcisms for money. If possible, Mr. Zheng can wait for me for a while. I will contact my sister to break the curse for you."
Zheng Wenjie nodded seriously: "You hit the nail on the head, but there's no need to break the curse. I think this curse is pretty useful."
"I think today is the first time Ms. Makoto and I have met. Ms. Makoto is already thinking about me."
"Uh..." Makoto was a little confused: "Then why did you adopt Mitsuki-chan, Zheng Jun, and why did you open an exorcist club?"
"It's a secret." Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "Ms. Makoto, can you tell me about the slit-mouthed woman? Is there anything you need to pay attention to when you and Mitsuki are exorcising demons together?"
"Yes, Sister Makoto, I don't know anything and I still need you to take care of me." Mitsuki felt much better. Thinking that Makoto actually knew nothing about Zheng Wenjie and herself, her hostility towards their special agent team and Makoto's teasing of her subsided a lot.
Makoto looked at Mitsuki's smiling face depressedly, and squeezed the pillow tightly in his arms: "Well, the slit-mouthed woman is actually an exorcist. Her name is Mayumi Yanagisawa, and she is also the last exorcist of the Yanagisawa family, an exorcist family that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
"The last one? How could an exorcist family that has been passed down for hundreds of years be wiped out?" Miyue asked puzzled.
Makoto shrugged, "Because the Yanagisawa family doesn't rely on spiritual power to exorcise demons, but on the dog gods."
"The dog god is a man-made monster, and also a vengeful spirit. It needs a young girl to adopt a newborn dog, and torture it with her own hands when the relationship is at its best, making it feel pain."
"Then they tied it to a tree and placed food where it couldn't reach. The starving dogs were as ferocious as wolves, and then they performed a sacrifice to refine its soul and body together."
"Refining Inugami is a very cruel thing, and it is no longer accepted by the exorcist community, so Inugami families are slowly declining. The Yanagisawa family is the last Inugami family with a long heritage."
Mitsuki looked at Makoto with some distrust: "I remember that in the Keiyue story, it said that Inugami would not die naturally, right? Can you really deal with an Inugami that has lived for hundreds of years?"
Makoto spread his hands and said, "Of course it's not the Inugami. If it was the Inugami wreaking havoc, my sister would have rushed back to Japan from the United States immediately."
"In the Inugami family, the lineage is passed down from daughter to daughter, not son to son. Because if you control an Inugami, you will be helped by him, but you will also be cursed by him. The last Inugami of the Yanagisawa family died for unknown reasons."
"As a result, Mayumi Yanagisawa also died. The curse of the dog god began to erode her body. Carrying hatred towards humans, the slit-mouthed woman was a murderous monster born from the fusion of the remaining soul in Mayumi Yanagisawa's body and the curse of the dog god!"
