The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 368 Shadow of Truth (15)

"What a joke! It's just a soul projection!"

The black mud erupted like a wave, washing away those living souls from the center of the stage, revealing two people who were almost submerged by those translucent spirits.

Hoshiba said to Inuyama Heita: "These things seem to be numerous and endless, but they can't hurt us! I will stop these guys. Can you complete the task assigned to you by Mr. Qian alone?"

Inuyama Heita nodded seriously: "I will try my best!"

"It's not enough to just work hard, you have to do it, otherwise our situation will be bad... Really, I didn't expect that I still have to rely on the power of that woman..." Xingchang took out a tarot card from his pocket. The card showed a man in a red robe with a scepter held high in his right hand.

"Magician, humph." Xingchang snorted coldly and used his spiritual power to activate the tarot card.

The tarot cards emitted light and turned into an "∞"-shaped halo, which flew to the top of Xing Changrang's head. At this moment, Xing Changrang felt that this halo was continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual power and pouring into his body. At the same time, under the illumination of this light, he felt that his ability to control spiritual power was also greatly enhanced.

Feeling the spiritual power constantly surging in his body, Xingchang licked his lips and murmured: "Although that woman has a bad personality, this spell is really useful~ Then, the game begins!"

Two black mud tentacles emerged from Star Field Ran's body, then three, four... and continued to grow until there were more than ten of them. These tentacles were like giant black pythons, wriggling around Star Field Ran in a domineering manner.

Xingchangrang's eyes turned red, and he laughed, "...I'm going to kill all of you! Huojin God, kill them all!"

The moment he finished speaking, those dozen black tentacles suddenly turned into shapes like steel needles, sharp and pointed, piercing through a large number of souls like skewers. That was not the end yet, mouths of various shapes appeared on those black "steel needles", eating the ingredients on the "skewers".

"what!"

All over the country, people who had the same nightmare woke up at the same time. They were breathing heavily, their bodies were cold, their hearts were beating violently, and they couldn't fall asleep for a while.

"Hahaha! This feels so great!" The star field was like a tentacle monster at this moment, constantly changing its tentacles into various weapons, harvesting and devouring the souls that dared to attack him, turning the area around him into a vacuum zone.

Xingba Rang turned around and shouted, "Hey, kid! I'll cover you, now go and complete your mission. Which tarot card was that woman giving you?"

"Yes!" Inuyama Heita took out the tarot card Anna gave him. On the card, an old man in a black robe was holding a lantern, illuminating the darkness. It was the tarot card [Hermit].

Inuyama Heita changed his cognition, and in the blink of an eye, the tarot cards disappeared, replaced by a bright lantern.

"Oh? It seems that our guest brought some cheating tools. This is not allowed." The host pointed at Inuyama Heita and shouted, "Everyone, turn off that annoying light!"

The spotlight on the stage locked onto Inuyama Heita, and the souls rushed towards him like moths to a flame, while the audience below clapped their hands more and more enthusiastically with expressionless faces.

"Hey, you don't take me seriously at all, do you?" Xingba, like a giant octopus in human form, controlled its tentacles to block in front of Inuyama Heita, and started to kill with a loud laugh.

Inuyama Heita stared at the lantern, not paying attention to the surroundings. He could only see darkness around him. He could not hear or see anything, except the lantern in his hand. Gradually, under the illumination of the lantern, a winding path appeared in the darkness in front of Inuyama Heita, extending into the darkness, and no one knew where it was going.

He knew that the end of the road was where he wanted to go, so Inuyama Heita walked forward without hesitation.

Swish! A sharp tentacle brushed past Inuyama Heita's head and pierced a sneak attacking soul, but Inuyama Heita didn't see it at all, and didn't even blink, just walked forward with a calm face.

"Hey! Say something before you move! I almost stabbed you." Xingba said subconsciously, and then immediately remembered that Inuyama Heita was unable to pay attention to the surrounding environment. He could only say "trouble", and then manipulated the tentacles to clear the way for him and clear the surrounding enemies.

After that, Inuyama Heita's path was abstract. He often walked around in twists and turns, then changed direction and turned around, making the star field extremely troubled, and often almost hurt Inuyama Heita by mistake.

"I take that back!" Xingchangrang yelled, "That woman's magic is still as unreliable as ever!"

At this moment, the woman he was talking about was sitting on the sofa, looking at her makeup mirror leisurely, checking whether her makeup was smudged. Beside her, King Kong was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his eyes closed, his lips moving and mumbling, chanting Buddhist scriptures.

At this moment, half of King Kong's body was emitting a faint golden light and his expression was calm, while the other half had veins throbbing, a ferocious face, and his teeth clenched tightly, as if he was about to suddenly attack and hurt someone. Two different expressions appeared on one face, making him look quite strange, like a schizophrenic psychopath.

"It seems that our guest King Kong can no longer bear the condemnation of his atrocities and is speechless." On the screen in mid-air, the female host whose face could not be seen clearly said in a mocking tone: "Next, let's start the interview with another guest, Miss Anna."

"Hey~ Is it finally my turn?" Anna closed the makeup mirror with a snap and put it in her lady bag.

A sofa appeared next to her at some point, and the female host sat there as if she had always been there.

"So, is this going to be a talk show now?" Anna fixed her hair and said with a smile, "Hello, host."

"Hello, Miss Anna." The female host also said, "Welcome to our guest. Regarding the behavior of your companion, Mr. King Kong, just now..."

"Wait a minute." Anna interrupted her and asked with a smile: "Before answering your question, can I ask where is this place and who are you?"

The hostess laughed in a vague voice, "Miss Anna is so forgetful. Didn't you take the initiative to come to our place as a guest? Didn't you sleep well last night, causing your memory to become confused?"

There was a dry laugh from the audience.

A new news headline appeared on the screen in mid-air:
"Miss Anna's memory seems to be declining, suspected to be Alzheimer's disease"

Anna suddenly felt dizzy. After a while, a tarot card flew out of her bag and appeared in front of her. Only then did Anna remember her identity and purpose.
