The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 206 Final Battle (28)

"Who... is that?" Inuyama Heita asked in surprise, "Why is he here?" He didn't see this person when he was trying to exorcise the spirit just now.

Qian Xiaoyi looked at the woman who was gently hugging Miss Evil Spirit and said, "Looking at that mole, she must be a relative of Hiruda, right? A sister or mother or something like that. She looks much more pleasing to the eye than Hiruda."

Ken asked curiously, "She made the many curses in Hiruda's body merge together so that there is no conflict between them?"

"It seems so." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I originally thought that according to Hiruda's personality, the reason why he had so many curses in his body was nothing more than a foolish act of wanting to increase his own strength. Now it seems that this is not the case. He does not have that vision and ability, so these curses were not collected by him, but by this lady. However, for some reason, those curses were transferred to Hiruda, who is related to her by blood."

Inuyama Heita asked in confusion: "Although the saying goes that you can't judge a person by his appearance, but she doesn't look like the kind of person who collects curses to enhance her own power, let alone a sorcerer who captures evil spirits for her own use, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why this lady collects evil spirits and curses is not to use them, but to share the pain for others. I taught you before that curses cannot be eliminated out of thin air. There must be a carrier to bear the price. This lady should be the price herself."

"Isn't this possible?!" Ah Jian asked in surprise, "How can such a person exist?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Since there are people like Hiruda who harm others but do not benefit themselves, there will naturally be idealists who are willing to sacrifice for their ideals. This lady must be one of them."

Inuyama Heita said: "This behavior is completely opposite to Hiruda. Are they really a family?"

Ah Jian said: "If you think about it carefully, even if they are blood relatives, it is normal for them to have completely opposite personalities, right? But it is a bit too outrageous to gather so many curses in one's body."

Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and said, "Although it does sound exaggerated, the essence of the curse is extreme malice, and the essence of the evil spirit is extreme resentment. After this lady collected the curses and evil spirits, she used the opposite of these two negative cognitions - tolerance and love, to influence them and achieve the effect of exorcising the spirits. It is because of her will and awareness that these curses can exist in a person's body without conflicting with each other."

Inuyama Heita looked at the woman who comforted the evil spirit of the utility knife and sighed: "She is really a great person. This behavior is just like the Bodhisattva who cuts flesh to feed the eagle in Buddhist mythology."

"Indeed." Qian Xiaoyi nodded. "Influence itself is a very important part of various salvation scriptures. She is like a mother, tolerant of others... Ah, I think I know, she is Hiruda's mother. No wonder he had such a fierce reaction when I insulted his parents before."

Ah Jian shook his head: "Alas, why would such a great mother raise someone like Hiruda?"

Qian Xiaoyi pondered, "Perhaps there was some reason why she couldn't educate Hiruda in person...Yes, that should be the case. It was because of the curse that the mother had to stay away from Hiruda's life, so she missed his education. This also explains why Hiruda has such a strong power but his skills are so poor, because he got this inheritance suddenly, and no one taught him before."

"That is to say..." Inuyama Heita said, "Those three evil spirits...are actually the result of Hiruda's mother not having time to be saved, and then Hiruda accidentally got them? No wonder I always felt that exorcism was too easy before, because half of the exorcism ceremony had already been completed...And this poor lady who wanted to share the pain became a tool for Hiruda to harm others. I wonder what her spirit in heaven would think."

"Maybe we'll know soon." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Outside the magic circle, Hiruda laughed wildly as he drove those who were maliciously attacking the magic circle. He could feel that the power of the magic circle was being weakened. As long as he put in a little more effort, he could kill the bastard inside like crushing an ant!
Crack... Finally, the barrier of the magic circle made a sound like glass breaking, and shattered with a snap. The talismans could no longer resist Hiruda's attack and burned up one after another, exposing several people in the magic circle.

"Any last words?" Hiruda looked at Qian Xiaoyi with a look of crazy satisfaction in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Forget it. I don't intend to listen anyway. I just want to hear your painful howling later!"

Qian Xiaoyi did not sit still and wait for death. He shouted loudly, "Wu Qu."

He took a step forward, and the utility knife in his hand flew out like a bullet, crossing the space and instantly appeared in front of Hiruda. It hit Hiruda's forehead with a "swish", leaving him stunned for a moment.

"You want to use my things... to deal with me?! To deal with me as I am now?" Hiruda was furious. He raised his hand and was about to pull out the utility knife, but his eyes blurred and he entered into an illusion.

At this time, Hiruda was in a park. Not far away, he saw two familiar figures. The one sitting on the bench and crying was the well-known Utility Knife Ghost. He was his right-hand man and had helped him handle many commissions.

The other one was a strange yet familiar woman. She was gently comforting the girl, just like she was her elder.

Seeing that person, Hiruda's face showed a panic. His lips moved and he said in panic: "Qian Xiaoyi! You, how dare you use such a trick to deceive me?!"

"Is this really my trick?" Qian Xiaoyi walked out from the darkness and said, "Since you have inherited this power, you can't be unable to recognize the origin of this power, right? Don't you feel familiar with it? In this cursed object, there is indeed the remnant of your mother's spirit."

"Impossible!" Hiruda roared, "You are lying to me! This evil spirit has been following me for so many years, there is no way I don't even know what is left in the cursed object!"

Qian Xiaoyi snorted coldly: "That's because you have never thought about saving these evil spirits. Facing their tragic experiences, you have no sympathy at all. You only want to use their resentment to harm others and gain benefits for yourself, so of course you can't feel it. That is a spirit that can only be reproduced with 'love' and 'tolerance'."

"Love? Tolerance? What disgusting things are you talking about!" Hiruda's face twisted: "Disgusting! Disgusting! Who can have such feelings towards evil spirits? And pity evil spirits? How dare you tease me? I want..."

"Xiao Cheng?" The woman who was comforting the girl raised her head, as if she sensed something, and asked, "Is it you?"

Hiruda began to tremble all over. He screamed at the figure, "This is all fake. Go to hell!"

Malice erupted like a tsunami.
