The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 201 Final Battle (23)

"It wasn't you who woke it up? Then who was it?" asked Inuyama Heita.

Ah Jian said: "I don't know."

They looked at Nuhuomaru.

Feeling the gaze, Nuhumaru purred in his throat, and his big eyes, like car lights, were full of clarity. As a newly born Tsukumogami, it could not communicate with people normally, and its intelligence was not that smart. Its behavior was more like that of a beast than a spirit, so it could not answer them.

"In that case, it can only be Suzuki-san." Inuyama Heita said: "Mr. Ken, can you sense the presence of Suzuki-san?"

"No, she seems to have left the ghost realm." Ajian said.

"That's her, there's no one else." Inuyama Heita said confidently, "She activated the Angry Tiger Pill in reality and woke it up... Now the situation is clear, we just need to rescue Ono-senpai, and then let Suzuki in reality take her out. How are Ono-senpai and Xiaobai doing?"

Ah Jian sensed it quietly for a while, then replied, "It seems like... you are having a lot of fun?"

Just as Ken said, Ono Haruna's figure appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the thick fog, and she was easily playing with the skeleton warrior evil spirit. She was wearing a white fox mask bought on the temple fair street, and she made sounds that sounded like crying and laughing from time to time.

Creating illusions is the specialty of the fox spirit. Through this method, coupled with a much higher intelligence than ordinary ghosts and monsters, and a suitable body, the white fox easily played with the evil spirit in front of her, making it unable to find her, and unable to leave here to attack others. If the target was a living person, he might have been crushed by the white fox.

Just when the white fox was having fun, it felt something and looked towards the other side of the thick fog.

"Where's Ono-senpai?" Inuyama Heita looked around while riding on Nuhuomaru and asked, "Why can't I see her?"

Before Ajian could answer, a pair of white and tender arms wrapped around Inuyama Heita's neck from behind. The soft touch made Inuyama Heita's body stiffen and his mind went into a mess.

"Hehehe~" the white fox shouted happily.

"Hey, you stinky fox, what are you doing with Hina-chan's body!" Ken showed a twisted jealous expression and said, "Don't tease Inuyama! He's just a child, come at me if you want!"

Inuyama Heita quickly broke free from the white fox's arms. He looked back and saw that the white fox was controlling Ono Haruna's body, and the eyes behind the mask winked at him playfully.

"Stop it, Xiaobai. Now is not the time to play." Inuyama Heita's face turned red like a monkey's butt, and he said with his neck stiff: "Go find Suzuki-san and ask her to take Ono-san away from here! It's not safe here!"

The white fox tilted its head and pointed at two figures that slowly emerged from the thick fog. One was a skeleton warrior with will-o'-the-wisp burning in his eye sockets, and the other was a scary female high school student holding a utility knife. The two evil spirits exuded an ominous aura of resentment, revealing their endless hatred for the living.

Inuyama Heita said: "Leave them to us. Your first task is to send Ono-senpai and Suzuki-san out! Suzuki-san should be next to Nuhuomaru's real body in reality."

"Hmm~" The white fox nodded with a smile, and its body turned into mist and disappeared in front of them. Seeing the white fox disappear, Inuyama Heita looked in the direction of the enemy and said, "Nuhuomaru, kill them, and we can go to support Brother Yi, let's go!"

"Roar!" Nuhuomaru raised his head and roared, carrying Inuyama Heita and rushing towards the two evil spirits.

Rumble~
In the woods, after starting the motorcycle, bright lights and the roar of the engine appeared, and the fear in Suzuki's heart faded away. She looked around with relief and found that the fog around her was slowly disappearing, and the scary high school girl holding the utility knife was no longer in her peripheral vision. She knew that her cognitive level had temporarily returned to normal.

It seemed that the bright light of the car made the surroundings clearer, and the way she had been unable to find before now appeared clearly in her field of vision. At the same time, Ono Haruna, who was wearing a mask, also appeared.

"Ono-senpai!" Suzuki was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran over and confirmed that it was indeed Ono Haruna.

Ono Haruna was wearing a white fox mask and tilted her head to look at her, which made Suzuki shudder. Ono Haruna's current state was different from those sorcerers who had no self-awareness. It was obvious that something was controlling her. If it weren't for the bright lights of the motorcycle, Suzuki would have thought that she had lost her cognition and fell into the ghost realm.

"She should be in the ghost realm now." Suzuki thought, "According to Inuyama-san, there is a barrier here. People in the ghost realm cannot walk out of the barrier. Only people like me who are in the real world can take them out. Inuyama-san and Mr. Qian are professionals. They don't need my help. I just need to take Ono-san away."

After figuring this out, Suzuki took Ono Haruna's hand without hesitation and led her back the way they came, walking towards the intersection they came from.

In the ghost realm, after sensing the disappearance of Ono Haruna and the white fox's aura, Ken turned around and shouted, "Inuyama, Ms. Suzuki and Haruna-chan should have left."

Inuyama Heita bent down and picked up the utility knife, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm almost done here..."

Just now, Nuhuwan defeated the two evil spirits in a short time with a crushing force. Just as Ajian joked, the talismans engraved on its body by Qian Xiaoyi made it a tank specifically for dealing with evil spirits. It has thick skin and strong flesh, and is extremely powerful, which makes people feel safe.

The only drawback is that it cannot purify the resentment of evil spirits, but this can be compensated by Inuyama Heita.

Just now he did the same thing, helping the samurai evil spirit to be freed by touching the evil spirit's core and changing the evil spirit's cognition in the illusion. However, because he had to experience what the other party had suffered, Inuyama Heita couldn't bear it.

"Because he helped the villagers and killed the lackeys of the evil official, he was betrayed by those villagers and died with hatred... Another betrayal..."

Inuyama Heita calmed down. In the illusion just now, he became the samurai, killed the evil official, and chopped off the other's dog head, which was considered to be a vent for the samurai. However, he had a strange feeling, that is, whether it was the previous soldier evil spirit or the samurai evil spirit, their resentment had actually been almost resolved, and only the finishing touch was left, but he completed it.

Although I don't know why I have this feeling, now is not the time to think about it. The only thing left to be solved is the core of the high school girl's evil spirit. As long as this evil spirit is dealt with, Nuhuomaru will be able to help Brother Otoko deal with the enemy.

Inuyama Heita calmed himself down, looked at the rusty utility knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and entered the core illusion.
