In mid-air, the flames extinguished, leaving only a piece of paper a few centimeters in size.
Only after a name was signed on it would this piece of paper undergo spontaneous combustion once more, completing the signing of the covenant.
The Train Spirit reached out and pinched it in its hand. The moment it touched it, the golden text floating in the air drilled into the piece of paper and disappeared.
Then it carelessly shoved the piece of paper into its pocket.
As long as it didn't affect its work, nothing mattered.
The Train Spirit walked toward the subway train car, preparing to take the subway to another city.
This city felt too clean now. Even the busiest subway station didn't have the slightest trace of an Evil Spirit aura. Continuing to guard here would only be a waste of time.
The moment the Train Spirit put the piece of paper away, Gabriel, who was sitting in a taxi, sensed it.
"It put the covenant away. It seems the probability of winning over the Train Spirit is quite high."
I'm not afraid of you hesitating and not daring to make a decision immediately, I'm just afraid of you not being interested and rejecting it outright.
As for whether it would take the bait in the end, that would be left up to fate.
Anyway, in the few nearby cities, she had marked several Spirits.
As long as she cast a wide net, she would catch a few no matter how bad her luck was.
...
...
Gabriel and Miko Yotsuya returned to the Yotsuya Residence.
After greeting Touko Yotsuya, Gabriel carried a large pile of things back to her bedroom.
Gabriel sat cross-legged on the tatami mat. From the pile of purchased items, she casually pulled out some roughly made silver bracelets from a shopping bag. The small pendants were beads engraved with a small eye pattern.
She prepared to apply the Cognitive Filter to these bracelets and named them the Eye of Truth.
Because apart from its most basic function, the Cognitive Filter could also enhance the level of Yin-Yang Eyes, allowing people to see powerful Evil Spirits they couldn't see before.
When the time came, she could make up a story and set a high price.
In short, the name had to be as impressive as possible.
Subsequently, Gabriel grabbed a handful of white bird feathers.
"I can't apply the same Offensive Divine Art to these feathers like Miko's lily. I can't be on the sidelines providing supervision at all times. It'll be troublesome if they are abused."
Gabriel pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.
There was no need to apply any Divine Arts, just a strong Holy Light could solve most problems.
Holy Light could purify some defilement, but it wouldn't have any negative effects on the innocent.
After all, it was essentially a beam of light, so it didn't matter even if it was abused. It was very safe.
To avoid encountering enemies that even Holy Light couldn't handle, those Spirits who signed the covenant would come in handy.
Therefore, Gabriel also needed to apply a Summoning Divine Art on these feathers to summon free thugs, just like summoning the Large Dog.
To ensure that the people working under her could make money and avoid being treated as charlatans, Gabriel thoughtfully included a Dream-Entering Divine Art. It would allow souls lingering around their families to reunite one last time in a dream.
Because of their limited abilities, the spiritual mediums of this world rarely took on exorcism work.
Sixty percent of their income came from deception, thirty percent from helping convey the last words of the deceased, and the remaining ten percent was the reward for exorcism.
After all, without the means of manifesting miracles in the Human Realm, it was completely normal to be treated as a charlatan.
This could be considered Gabriel giving them a small method for manifesting miracles in the Human Realm.
The only drawback was that the energy consumption was too fast. It was a veritable consumable.
Gabriel also gave these feathers a name: Angel's Feather.
Anyone who knew her identity as an Angel would definitely be bluffed by this name, even if the name was somewhat cliché.
Anyway, she didn't expect to sell them for money, and since these feathers were consumables, it was fine to just circulate them internally.
When the time came, adjusting the quota of feathers for each person appropriately could also mobilize the employees' enthusiasm.
A few minutes passed.
Gabriel sent this batch of completed Eye of Truth and two Angel's Feathers to Mitsue Takeda and sent her a text message.
Sending only two feathers wasn't because she was stingy, but because rarity increases value in all things, let alone when it was crowned with the title of an Angel.
If handled properly, these feathers could even replace wages and be distributed to the pawns under her.
Moreover, it could also put an end to job-hopping incidents.
Start a new business?
They were really overthinking it.
You'd need to have an Angel's Feather for that to work.
Even if they had a little stock, Gabriel could remotely disable these feathers.
After finishing the tasks at hand, Gabriel began to assemble the newly bought VR equipment.
Meanwhile, at Mitsue Takeda's home.
Amidst Mitsue Takeda and Rom's anxious waiting, a ray of light suddenly flashed in mid-air. Dozens of Eye of Truth bracelets appeared out of thin air and finally drifted down lightly onto the tea table.
Immediately after, at the exact moment the light was about to disappear, two snow-white feathers suddenly appeared and flew toward Mitsue Takeda and Rom respectively.
After flying in front of them, they floated in the air, unaffected by gravity. Their surfaces emitted a reassuring white fluorescence and gave off a faint fragrance.
"How miraculous, I actually established a connection with it..."
Following her connection with this feather, Mitsue Takeda effortlessly controlled it to float from her left side to her right hand.
At the same time, she also sensed the three different powers residing within this feather.
As long as she wanted to, she could release them.
It was as simple as opening an app on a phone.
"With it, I am now more confident in convincing that group of people who also possess Yin-Yang Eyes. After all, who can resist the temptation of possessing supernatural powers?"
Rom pressed down the brim of his hat, revealing a confident smile on his face.
With a thought, the feather floating in front of him drilled into his clothes in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
"Be careful of attracting even greedier people. If they anger the Angel, we might be implicated too, and maybe even this world will... You should understand the consequences."
After properly putting away her Angel's Feather, Mitsue Takeda spoke up with a serious expression to give a reminder.
"I know what you are worried about, but a person's heart is hidden. Who can know what kind of true colors are concealed beneath a carefully disguised mask?"
"What we can do is find these people in advance and eliminate the hidden danger. However, there is a prerequisite for this, and that is our original intentions must never change."
Rom shook his head slightly. After taking a few Eye of Truth bracelets from the table, he stood up and walked toward the door.
But before leaving, he turned around and said to Mitsue Takeda, "You should also rest early. I will come visit you again tomorrow. But you must remember, do not go to those deep mountains on your own. Right now, there is one most important ability within this Angel's Feather that cannot be used."
"Don't worry, this old woman can sit still. I don't need your reminder."
After Mitsue Takeda finished speaking, she waved her hand impatiently, telling Rom to hurry up and leave.
