The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 431: The Great Battle of Exorcism (8)

"So the cause of the incident was Granny Tao?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, touching his chin, "But why did she do such a thing? Did someone secretly instruct her to do this? But what was the purpose? Or was there an accident that caused her to faint there?"

Ling Na said: "No one knows this, and we are also confused."

"What about her?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Why not just ask her?"

Suzuna replied, "She was taken to the hospital. She did wake up yesterday, but when asked why she did that, she didn't remember anything. Now she has been taken to a larger hospital for a full body checkup."

"So nothing happened to you that night?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"Yes." Ling Na said: "The real danger appeared on the second day after we arrived, which was yesterday..."

Early in the morning, when everyone was lazily enjoying breakfast in the restaurant, Gui Teng Longguang came back.

"Good morning, everyone." Gui Teng Longguang sat down in his seat and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Mr. Kitō! You're back." Terao Yu put down the bread in his hand and asked, "How is Granny Momo doing?"

Gui Teng Longguang said: "I am fine, but my old illness has come back, so I can't get anything out of you. Did you guys sleep well last night?"

Everyone said that nothing happened.

"Is that so..." Gui Teng Longguang nodded: "That's good, then everything will be as usual. Mr. Guancun has just told me that the exorcism ceremony will begin tonight, but the necessary work cannot be missed. Everyone still needs to pretend to be solemn and walk around, and cooperate with the staff to take pictures."

"clear."

"no big deal."

So for the whole day, everyone was hanging around in the mansion or the yard, waiting for someone to come and "take secret photos". Then they found out that the so-called "psychic enthusiasts" were actually the housekeeper and several staff members here.

When they appear, the exorcists will immediately put on a frowning look, or carefully examine a certain place, or strike a certain pose with their magic tools and mutter to themselves, while those "supernatural enthusiasts" will deliberately go to remote places and take unclear photos.

To be honest, every exorcist has done a lot of this kind of fraud. After all, most of the commissions do not involve supernatural events. However, in order to make some extra money or reassure the clients, they will still say that it is a supernatural problem and then pretend to fool them, so everyone is familiar with it.

After dinner in the evening, the exorcists returned to their relaxed state of the previous day, chatting and laughing as they prepared their equipment.

Although it was just an act, in order to ensure that they would not be caught by their colleagues outside, they did their best to arrange it according to the real exorcism ritual. However, since there were no evil spirits, these rituals were just a formality.

"Let me guess." Qian Xiaoyi asked, "This is where the accident happened, right?"

"Yeah." Suzuna sighed, "No one thought at the time that the exorcism ritual was really used to exorcise ghosts."

That night, the exorcists dispersed to various areas of the mansion and began to arrange their own exorcism rituals.

After all, everyone has their own unique schools, their own unique rituals, and their understanding of spirits is also different. Gathering together would seem like a group of demons dancing wildly. It would be better to disperse and do it on their own. The staff of the mansion will then find some of the most courageous photos and videos taken, and send them to those newspapers and websites to arouse topics. So no one dared to fool around, and they all showed their real skills, chanting spells, dancing, and for a while the whole mansion was buzzing.

The first problem occurred in the maze of bushes in the yard outside the mansion.

An exorcist stayed alone in the center of the maze, with a few candles lit beside him. He made hand seals with a solemn expression and muttered to himself.

This place is quite far from the mansion and very quiet. The only sound he can hear is the sound of him chanting.

As the sound of his incantation continued to echo within the maze, the candles around him flickered without wind, their lights and shadows swaying, as if they sensed something.

The exorcist has entered the state of "flow" at this time. His mental power is completely concentrated and his mind is free of thoughts. As a dedicated exorcist, he can act well even if he is acting. At this moment, he is in the stage of "luring" the evil spirit to appear in front of him. After all, in order to exorcise a spirit, he must first find the evil spirit, right?
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard. The exorcist's ears twitched and he felt secretly delighted.

"You finally came to my place to take the photo? Great, let me show you my heroic figure!"

But suddenly, the exorcist realized something was wrong. The footsteps were uniform and there were so many of them. They didn’t seem like the footsteps of ordinary people at all. Moreover... it was just a "secret filming". Was it necessary to send so many people?
As the footsteps got closer, the exorcist shuddered. The dangerous aura from last night appeared again. He opened his eyes and looked towards the exit of the maze...

"what!!!"

A scream pierced the sky, and now everyone felt it, and that aura appeared again!

"It's an evil spirit!"

"Is there really an evil spirit?"

But when Suzuna also felt that breath, it was too late.

She was in the cellar of Fuji's mansion, which was originally used to store wine, but now there was nothing in it and it seemed empty. According to legend, this was the last stronghold of those legendary soldiers who resisted stubbornly, and it was also the place where those people committed collective caesarean section.

"At that time, I was studying the shooting angle and lighting with Takuya." Lingna said to Qian Xiaoyi in a panicked tone: "After suddenly feeling that breath, the surrounding environment immediately changed. Those evil spirits suddenly appeared from the walls and the ground, all of them looked like they died tragically..."

Qian Xiaoyi frowned slightly. According to what the other party said, the legends there should be fabricated by Fuji Mansion. Could it be a cognitive ghost formed by urban legend? But the conditions for its appearance are a little wrong...

Or is this legend actually true? And then Granny Peach summoned the legendary ghost?

After thinking for a while, Qian Xiaoyi still had no clue, so he asked, "So your brother had the accident at that time?"

"Yes." Suzuna said, "At that time, Takuya fought with those evil spirits to protect me. I also tried to purify them, but the effect was not very good. It was other exorcists who sensed the movement and rushed over, and then repelled the evil spirits, but Takuya... was also taken away."

"What do you mean by taking away..." Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"It's the soul." Suzuna said: "Those evil spirits hid in the spirit world, and took away part of Takuya's soul."
