(Part 2)..............................

It was around that time that powerful financial families found out about the news.

They learned that the higher-ups were secretly conducting experiments to cultivate "new humans" without their knowledge.

It's not that the chaebols don't want to cultivate talent.

But ultimately, those at the top possess far more rare and precious materials, as well as secret manuals and ancient techniques than they do.

It is a treasure passed down through generations of imperial families and top clans such as the Minamoto and Taira clans.

It's something you can't buy even if you have money.

Therefore, even the chaebols have tried to cultivate Anzhong.

But there hasn't been much progress so far.

Back to the point.

Even after the chaebols knew that the upper echelons had been secretly experimenting and even had successful training results.

But seeing the Onmyoji who wielded superhuman power, they couldn't help but be startled.

The people at the top clearly had a good idea of what they meant.

They're all old foxes; no one can fool anyone else.

He was naturally both shocked and angry.

Fortunately, there's the issue of middle-aged men involved.

Using these high-level trained Onmyoji to test that "new human" would be the best option.

Won.

I'm safe now.

This also reveals what abilities these Onmyoji possess.

They were not afraid that the higher-ups would send Yin-Yang Masters to assassinate them.

One was killed.

"637" Other conglomerates won't sit idly by.

If you dare kill him, you'll dare kill me tomorrow.

If you don't want any problems with the cherry blossom economy, you can give it a try.

No one can have a good time.

And they lost.

Although danger still lurks in the shadows.

However, it can also consume some of the power of the upper-level Onmyoji.

They didn't believe that those in power would reveal their strength all at once.

There is definitely a hidden force at play.

But the chaebols were too embarrassed to push too hard.

If you push them too far, they won't have a good time either.

Therefore, it was to appease them.

The chaebols also expended some money, giving some benefits to those at the top.

You want money? Here you go.

They lack everything except money.

Although they do not possess the terrifying strength of the Shinomiya and Daiko zaibatsu, whose total assets exceed two hundred trillion yen.

But giving them a few hundred billion wouldn't be a problem at all.

The higher-ups didn't say anything and accepted everything.

Even if the chaebols don't exert pressure.

They will also send the first batch of Onmyoji who have successfully completed the experiment to find and kill that middle-aged man.

One purpose was to test the abilities and effectiveness of these Onmyoji.

They didn't spend so much money training these Onmyoji; it wasn't a charity.

Let's not talk about things that are useless.

If it's useful...

Ah.

The chaebols think they are very clever.

But those in power also have their own ways of dealing with them.

And the Onmyoji are the source of their confidence.

But it doesn't mean that Onmyoji only know how to kill.

Manipulating hypnosis...

It's not that there aren't any...

The second option is to capture or kill the middle-aged man.

The chaebols are afraid.

The powerful and influential were naturally afraid as well.

His own hands and feet are not clean either.

Naturally, they wouldn't let such a time bomb remain in front of them.

It would be best if we could capture them.

It can also be used as research material.

As far as I know, that middle-aged man could control evil spirits and even possess them.

This greatly surprised these upper-class people.

There are actually "new humans" who can control evil spirits without using magical artifacts!

It should be noted that of the seven Onmyoji they trained, only one possessed a unique power.

The rest of the Onmyoji need to use a small number of ritual implements that have been passed down from the Heian and Nara periods.

Only in this way can one barely perform some of the techniques recorded in ancient secret manuals.

And after ten years of research, experimentation and testing.

At that time, they also referred to the power used by these Onmyoji as "Yin-Yang power".

Later, it was gradually changed to the more fitting term "psychic energy".

And this involves consuming a large amount of "materials".

The upper echelons also divide a series of "new humans" who wield power, such as Onmyoji, Exorcists, and Spirit Exorcists, into four levels.

From lowest to highest, they are: Preparatory, Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1.

The criteria for classification at the time were also extremely simple.

A level 3 Onmyoji is one who can expel or kill level 3 supernatural beings or new humans.

As for how to classify the level of strangeness, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on factors such as ability, influence, and conditions for killing.

This is a bit more complicated, so we won't go into it for now.

And so on.

Based on research of the residual blood samples they obtained last time, including materials such as yin energy, it was found that...

That middle-aged man was probably only around level three.

The reason they were able to kill so many people was simply because they controlled evil spirits.

Because it is affected by yin energy.

The monitoring equipment also failed to capture the specific process.

The only thing that was vaguely captured was the work of an evil spirit with unusually thin hands and fingernails that reached the ground.

So it's very likely that the middle-aged man was hiding in the shadows, doing whatever he wanted with the power of the evil spirit.

If they can't capture them, they'll kill them.

Bring back corpses or body samples for research.

It should be noted that three of the five Onmyoji they sent this time had reached the level of Onmyoji energy remaining in the blood sample.

Even if there are errors due to various factors, the difference will not be too much.

Not to mention five Onmyoji.

Three players are third-level mainstays, and two are reserves.

How could they possibly lose?

One of them even possessed special powers.

That is, the Onmyoji with hypnotic abilities.

'We can't lose, we absolutely can't lose.'

Clutching at a misplaced sense of confidence.

By employing certain methods to locate people.

And a series of deductions about some of the people associated with that doomed tycoon.

After a manhunt that lasted almost six months.

Finally, they caught the middle-aged man in a rural area.

He had just finished hunting down those connected to the doomed conglomerate and was an authority in the academic world.

He also killed many people he had connections with in the area.

But the Onmyoji didn't care.

Who dies has nothing to do with them.

They are die-hard fans.

Although having gained "power" they also harbored some thoughts of turning the tables and becoming the masters of their own destiny.

But their strength has not yet reached a certain level.

A few peanuts were enough to kill them.

In addition, the upper echelons used both threats and inducements.

The Onmyoji are quite pragmatic.

They would obey orders, except that they weren't being told to die.

Therefore, they directly pursued and killed the middle-aged man.

They chased him all the way into the dense forest.

The elderly Onmyoji, who possessed the power of hypnosis, tried it many times.

It was discovered that it only causes headaches for middle-aged men and cannot induce hypnosis.

The plan was for the combat personnel to shoot the middle-aged man who was about to escape again.

Those combat personnel were certainly not ordinary people; they were all elites selected from hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
