The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 194: The Final Battle (16)

"Xiao, there's actually a stall over there that we haven't been to." Ono Haruna looked in the other direction of the temple fair street and said, "Let's go check it out."

As she spoke, she walked quickly toward the path behind the shrine's approach.

"Wait, Ono-senpai!" Suzuki's eyes widened. She adjusted her glasses and said in disbelief, "But there... isn't a stall there?"

Suzuki watched Ono Haruna running towards the deserted path and was about to follow her, but because she was holding a bunch of prizes in her arms, she accidentally dropped a few dolls on the ground while running. She had to squat down to pick up the dolls, but she ended up getting so flustered because she was holding too many things in her hands that she dropped more and more.

When I looked up, Ono Haruna's figure just disappeared from the path and went deeper into the woods.

Suzuki noticed something, she put the things in her hand on a stall that had been closed, and chased after her. However, because she was wearing a yukata, she didn't run very fast. When she arrived at the place where Ono Haruna disappeared, there was no trace of her.

There was a shimeji rope at the end of the path. Ono Haruna must have crossed the shimeji rope and walked deeper into the cave.

"Could it be that Senior Ono has had her old problem again?" Suzuki frowned. She had behaved in a similar way before in White Fox Village, but suddenly asking about a stall in such a remote corner that he had never been to before was really a bit creepy.

Suzuki looked deeper into the path, which led to the woods on the back mountain of the shrine. It looked deep and secluded, but the mountain should not be large and was near residential areas, so even if he went in, he would not get lost in the mountains.

She walked into the alley, but before entering, she exchanged a text message with Inuyama Heita, just in case.

Soon, Inuyama Heita called back.

"Suzuki-san, don't go over there!" Inuyama Heita said anxiously, "It's very dangerous in there! Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

While searching for Ono Haruna's trace, Suzuki said, "What are you talking about? There aren't even wild boars in this mountain, how could there be danger? If we don't find Ono-senpai quickly, it will be dangerous. With her symptoms, we can't let her walk around alone."

Inuyama Heita said anxiously: "No...it's really dangerous! Anyway, don't go in yet."

"Inuyama-san, please explain clearly, what exactly do you mean?" Suzuki was very dissatisfied with Inuyama Heita's evasiveness. She asked, "I always feel that you and Mr. Qian have been hiding something from me for a long time, whether it was last time in White Fox Village or this time, or even from the moment we met!"

Suzuki was as sharp as ever, making Inuyama Heita sweat coldly, but he knew that if he told Suzuki about the conclusions of gods, demons and monsters, he would never believe it. So he could only say the part that he could say: "This... is related to a commission from Brother Otoko. This time, the commission location is nearby. It's a bit risky and may involve some bad guys."

"Bad guys? Are they gangsters?" Suzuki asked in surprise, "So, I was deliberately guided to get those lottery tickets? No, this is too dangerous. Senior sister might be in danger. I'm going to call the police."

"Don't call the police!" Inuyama Heita hurriedly stopped him, "It has nothing to do with the mafia! Really! Think about it, how could the mafia make Ono-senpai become like that?"

"You mean, Senior Ono is not ill, but there is another reason?" Suzuki was even more confused.

Inuyama Heita wanted to slap himself in the face for blurting out something. Suzuki was a little angry: "Then tell me the whole story! This matter concerns our safety, and I have the right to know the details of it. Otherwise, I will call the police immediately and ask them to come and help search for Ono-senpai's whereabouts. This is not a joke."

"I understand, but you have to promise me first that you will never tell anyone else what I tell you." Inuyama Heita said. It was obvious that Ono Haruna was lured away by the enemy's sorcerer and entered the ghost realm. If they called the police and then searched the place, it would probably be too late.

Even if the police find her, they probably won't be able to find any other information. They can only assume that she has a mental problem, which is useless. Now Brother B is in the ghost realm and can't be contacted. In order to appease Suzuki, he must make a decision.

"As long as it's not illegal, I won't tell anyone." Suzuki agreed. She asked, "What are you and Mr. Qian doing?"

"What I said may seem outrageous to you, but it's all true." Inuyama Heita said: "What I'm going to talk about next is something called 'cognitive theory'..."

In the ghost realm, the broken Barbie doll in Hiruda's hand screamed again, which meant that the accomplices left behind outside had successfully lured Qian Xiaoyi's acquaintances.

He was excited. Now he had a bargaining chip in his hand! He immediately said to the paper man, "Hey, Qian Xiaoyi! I have good news for you! Your high school clients are here too!"

At this time, the black aura around Qian Xiaoyi in another place had dissipated, and he withdrew from the evil spirit form. He had almost cleaned up all of Hiruda's accomplices in the ghost realm. It was time to deal with the real culprit. At this moment, he heard Hiruda's voice and his face darkened.

That guy actually did it!

He agreed to let Kawasaki and the others come because he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Ashiya Yoshisuke was still here to make Hiruda and the others afraid to attack innocent people.

And if they are not allowed to come, these guys who practice sorcery must know all kinds of people. Once they are forced into a corner, they might ask people to take action directly in Tokyo. At that time, Qian Xiaoyi will be out of reach.

The paper man turned around and said to Hiruda in a calm tone: "Huh? You mean those high school students? Hey, Hiruda, those people are ordinary people, right? Involving innocent people in the exorcist competition, do you want to become a complete rat who can't stand the light? If that happens, even Mr. Ashiya will not let you go, right?"

"What a joke!" The veins on Hiruda's forehead popped out. "You're the one who forced me into this state. If you were willing to die, this wouldn't have happened! But not only did you refuse, you even fought back and killed all my people! You will definitely not let me go next time, right? It has come to this point, why should I care about the rules?"

The paper man said, "Yes, you are too weak, and you can only use such despicable means to resist."

"No matter what you say!" Hiruda sneered, "If you don't want them to die, surrender! Otherwise, I will kill them regardless of the consequences! From your last commission, you are a super decent exorcist, right? As a partner of justice, you will definitely sacrifice yourself to save others, right?"

The paper man scratched his head and said, "This is really frustrating... If that's the case..."

"Then go ahead and do it." The paper man said, "Kill them."
