The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 156 Competition (6)

In the guest room upstairs, the clock on the wall pointed to a little after 1 a.m., and the sound of the hands clicking rhythmically echoed in the quiet room. When the second hand reached a certain position on the dial, it suddenly stopped, as if time had stood still.

Inuyama Heita sat against the wall, his head sinking down again and again. He could not hold on any longer and began to doze off, but he did not dare to fall asleep completely. He could only maintain this posture and nod repeatedly.

With a crackling sound, the light on the ceiling flickered and made a noticeable sound of electricity. Inuyama Heita woke up immediately. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, only to see that the entire ceiling had grown large patches of mold, covering the entire ceiling and looking extremely disgusting.

The lights seemed to have become much dimmer due to the invasion of mold. He was the only one in the room now, and no one knew where Qian Xiaoyi had gone.

"Have we been dragged into the ghost realm?" Inuyama Heita closed his eyes, formed the Eight Diagrams Seal, then suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in front of him with a seal: "Open!"

The space ahead was distorted, as if a window had been opened. A fat figure crawled in from the window and complained, "Can't you open the entrance a little wider?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Ken." Inuyama Heita maintained his posture and said, "I can't hold on for too long, come in quickly."

Ah Jian finally crawled in front of him and muttered, "This is probably what Miss Sadako in the book feels like..."

"Where is Brother Otoko?" asked Inuyama Heita.

Ah Jian shook his head: "I don't know. At the moment when the time was up, this house seemed to consciously separate us into different ghost realms. But instead of worrying about Brother Yi, you might as well worry about yourself. Brother Yi is so strong, he will be fine. Maybe he is watching us nearby now."

Boom, boom, boom.

There were rhythmic sounds coming from downstairs, as well as the crying of children and the shouting of men. Inuyama Heita clearly felt the floor shaking, and he could imagine that something very bad must have happened downstairs.

Ken said sternly, "There's a noise outside, Inuyama, go out and take a look."

"Am I a supporting character in a horror movie who is about to die?" Inuyama Heita complained, then took out the talisman given to him by Qian Xiaoyi and lightly touched it with his finger.

Black mist gushed out from the talisman, surrounding Inuyama Heita. The cold touch continued to erode Inuyama Heita's sanity. Anger, jealousy, unwillingness, resentment and other negative emotions washed over Inuyama Heita's brain. He took a deep breath and calmed his heart.

Then, Inuyama Heita stretched out his hand in front of himself and observed it. He saw that his body was covered with a layer of constantly moving black lines, and he could not recognize his original appearance.

"Inuyama-san! Are you still there?" Ken shouted from where he was standing. "It's amazing. I can't see you anymore. Hey, don't be silent. I feel a little scared being alone."

"I got it. Stop talking nonsense." Inuyama Heita took out the jade pendant and sucked Ajian in.

Enduring the impact of those negative emotions, Inuyama Heita opened the door of the room and came out. It was dark under the stairs now, and he had no idea what was waiting for him in the darkness. "I feel it, those guys are down there." Ajian said in the jade pendant, "Be careful."

Inuyama Heita walked down the stairs carefully. The walls of the corridor were now covered with blood. Countless bloody handprints were stuck on the walls. As soon as he turned around, he saw a man holding a kitchen knife. The man was walking slowly along the bloodstains on the ground. The bloodstains extended into the master bedroom. Inuyama Heita could even see a person in a nightgown lying on the ground and slowly crawling into the room.

Inuyama Heita was so frightened that he dared not move, but he quickly realized that the other party could not see him.

"Too cruel, this is the scene when the incident happened, right?" Ah Jian whispered, "Use the Bagua Seal here. The barrier of the ghost vine should be in the nearby ghost area."

"Understood." Inuyama Heita formed the Bagua Seal and aimed it at the front of the corridor. The square gap just covered the entire corridor. His eyes flashed, and the gap in the Bagua Seal began to vibrate and twist, just like a window. Inuyama Heita observed a different scenery through the gap in the Bagua Seal. In this gap, light came from the master bedroom, and the man holding the kitchen knife had disappeared.

Inuyama Heita's eyes lit up: "Got it."

He walked quickly to the door of the master bedroom and used the Bagua Seal to observe the movements inside.

"King Kong! Protect me!"

Gui Teng Longguang shouted. He was sitting in the candle array in the middle of the room, holding a Zen stick in his arms. His body and face were covered with Chinese characters. He kept chanting spells. At the same time, there was a wooden fish in front of him, which was being beaten rhythmically, making a rapid "kong kong kong" sound.

There were three ghosts around him. One was a man holding a kitchen knife, standing in front of him. A woman with a smashed head on the ground kept trying to touch him with her hands, and a little boy covered in blood kept screaming at him, "Namo San, what kind of picture of hell is this?"

Just as the evil spirit was about to touch Gui Teng Longguang, King Kong shouted: "Don't worry, I'm here!"

He ripped off his T-shirt, revealing his muscular body and a tattoo on his back of a Vajra warrior with eyes wide open and an open mouth.

“A mere evil spirit…” King Kong’s expression also changed to match the tattoo on his back. He looked like a real angry King Kong, and shouted ferociously with a ferocious expression: “You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? Ha!”

A heat wave that was strong enough to distort the air appeared around him. The three members of the family all showed terrified expressions. Their hair and skin were burned as if they had encountered charcoal fire, and their skin was torn apart, making them look even more disgusting.

At this time, the sound of Gui Teng Longguang chanting scriptures began to slowly grow louder, and the words written all over the house crawled towards the bodies of the three ghosts, covering their skin, binding them tightly like ropes and chains, making them tighter and tighter, unable to move.

Ah Jian exclaimed, "They are really good at subduing the three evil spirits so quickly? What is Brother Yi doing now? If he doesn't take action and does nothing, he will lose."

"Not so fast." Inuyama Heita saw the clue at this time: "Don't you feel it? Even though they were beaten like that, the ghost realm we are in shows no signs of collapse... Brother Yi is right, the real target of this commission is not them."
