I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 346 - 14: In the Modern Era (Part 3)

But it wasn’t meant for him to see, so the witch’s opinion should take precedence.

After a brief contemplation, Kikyo gently nodded.

Just two steps out, she suddenly stopped and slightly frowned, looking in a certain direction. Gu Mo didn’t sense anything at first, but the Nine-tailed he was possessed by also had a warning, and following Kikyo’s gaze, his spiritual power spread out, quickly detecting the source of hostility.

"Perhaps it’s attracted by the Four Souls Jade’s aura, but with so few numbers, demons in this era must be quite rare..."

Gu Mo didn’t take the red dots on the mini-map to heart, just casually analyzed it.

What appeared was just some minor fish, and not in great quantity; he no longer needed to worry about threats of this level.

"Let’s go deal with them first..."

Kikyo calmly spoke, although the demon Qi was very weak, there were too many ordinary people nearby, and if a battle broke out, she feared it would affect innocent bystanders, so she advocated for a preemptive strike to eliminate the incoming demons.

"I feel there’s no need to rush; demons in this era must also have their own ways of survival. Since people now see them as legends, it means they haven’t appeared in a long time, and launching an attack in public is unlikely..."

Gu Mo’s attitude seemed somewhat noncommittal.

Aside from that mask, which had formed in the Warring States era but only awakened in the modern world, recklessly attacking people, there are basically no other similar examples... This situation explains quite a few things.

After all, humans have always been progressing, and modern firearms are formidable; apart from those great demons still standing at the top of the food chain since ancient times, most spirits can’t withstand the modern firepower... Demons aren’t brainless; they naturally have their own ways of survival.

"We are carrying the Four Souls Jade..." the witch said flatly.

Perhaps demons in this era do have their own system, but she doesn’t plan to take risks. They are carrying the Four Souls Jade, and it’s uncertain how demons might go mad over this item; who can be sure they would still follow the original set of rules?

"OK, OK, then we’ll take care of it later; anyway, clearing them out won’t take long..."

Gu Mo nodded agreeably. While speaking, he was already standing by the roadside, reaching out to hail a taxi.

"Let’s not delay; let’s set out now." He opened the car door on one side, smilingly made a gesture to invite her in a gentlemanly manner.

"..."

"..."

The witch was slightly silent, her gaze circling between the novel vehicle and the man, unsure of what she was hesitating and thinking about; she didn’t make a move for a long time.

"Or are you planning to walk there, Kikyo?"

Gu Mo showed a helpless expression: "This metropolitan area is quite large, and I’m not very familiar with it; I don’t know where we could find a suitable place to act..."

This is Tokyo, not Fuyuki City. As one of Japan’s three major metropolitan areas, it cannot be compared to the latter’s remote coastal town, nor does it have the conditions for some "unknown Holy Grail War to take place casually within the city."

Finally convinced by him, Kikyo, unfamiliar with the vehicle, got into the taxi, and Gu Mo went around to the other side to get in and closed the door.

"Where would you two like to go?"

The driver asked from the front, glanced at the rear-view mirror where the pair sat, and while he felt a twinge of envy, he couldn’t help but cast a glance towards their weapons... The witch carried a Japanese bow, while the young man had an antique style straight blade at his waist, making the driver wonder.

But it should be some sort of cosplay; ever since the anime industry successfully held numerous manga and game exhibitions a few years ago, using such tricks to attract attention, cosplay culture seems to have suddenly become popular.

"Well... is there a particularly secluded place where no one goes?" Gu Mo replied, "Just take us there."

Particularly secluded...

No one goes there...

What are you planning to do in such a place...

The taxi driver was momentarily stunned, then instinctively glanced through the rear-view mirror at the silent witch, admiring her once more, while feeling deeply anguished, wishing he could stomp his feet... Damn! Damn! It’s so infuriating! Can this damned guy just explode!

Tightly gripping the steering wheel, the driver took several deep breaths, trying to calm his voice: "Please fasten your seatbelts... you two."

"Alright..."

Gu Mo curiously glanced at the driver in front; why was his speech suddenly slightly halted, as if trying to suppress something?

But he didn’t mind, just turned to Kikyo’s direction and said with a smile, "Fasten your seatbelt... Need help?"

"Okay."

Though puzzled, after a glance at the driver in the front seat, unfamiliar with vehicles like this, Kikyo still nodded.
