The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 437: The Great Battle of Exorcism (14)

In the lounge, the housekeeper and the few remaining staff members have taken refuge here.

Because people knew that this house was haunted and very dangerous, the place where everyone rested at night had been moved from the room on the second floor to here. They moved the sofas, tables and chairs away, spread out bedding and slept on the floor, just like sleeping on the floor in a shelter.

This lounge is very big. Although there are a lot of people, they can still fit in. Not only that, the lounge also has a separate bathroom, so sleeping for a night is not a problem. In addition, the exorcists have pasted talismans and spells on various parts of the room, making it impregnable. Evil spirits cannot attack for the time being. It can be said to be a perfect shelter.

The rain outside seemed to be getting heavier, and the raindrops hit the window, making a crackling sound.

Because of the scream just now, everyone in the lounge was very silent.

Goriki Kaito sat cross-legged on the sofa, playing with his bronze dagger, and said depressedly: "It's so boring, I don't know what's going on over there... Really, why didn't Master Gui Teng call me along? It's really boring to stay here with you guys."

Yamamori Akio stood in front of the window, the glass reflecting the scorpion tattoo on his face. He heard what Goriki Kaito said and said, "Because there is that big guy Kongo over there, right? It conflicts with your role, so it's safer to keep you guarding the lounge."

"Tsk~" Gangli Kaidou said: "By the way~what exactly did that Chinese guy say just now mean? Did you understand? I always feel that when I want to understand what he means, I think about it carefully and feel that I don't understand anything."

The priest, the pharmacist, Kawanin, said, "Perhaps it means that we should calm down and carefully find the key to solving this incident?"

"So have we found it?" asked one of the twins.

"That's not right." The Japanese puppet in the arms of puppeteer Xiaosong Yuichi spoke: "He means that we should start with how to define the problem. I think it makes sense."

The puppet's voice was very shrill, and it was obvious that Xiaosong was speaking using ventriloquism.

Everyone had different opinions, but only Lingnai rolled her eyes. She knew that Qian Xiaoyi didn't say anything and was just fooling people. It was obvious that these people didn't trust Qian Xiaoyi as an outsider, and Qian Xiaoyi didn't believe them either, so they just said some empty words to fool them. She didn't expect that these uneducated guys actually took it seriously.

After chatting for a while, they found that they still hadn't come up with anything. Gorikito stood up impatiently and said, "I don't know what's going on over there. This damn place doesn't even have an internet connection. It's too boring."

"Hey, where are you going?" Yamamori Akio said, "Don't go out casually, stay here honestly."

"Huh? Sorcerer, what's with that tone of voice?" Gorikito looked at him unkindly: "Did I say I was going out? Can't I just take a few steps?"

Ling Na sighed. Here we go again. They say that people in the same profession are enemies. It is true. When we first came here, everyone still cared about their reputation and was polite on the surface. But once they encountered danger, people became restless. No one would give in to anyone else and everyone wanted to have the right to speak.

At this moment, the chandelier on the ceiling flickered and then suddenly went out. If the fireplace had not been still burning, the room would have been plunged into darkness.

The exorcists all raised their heads and looked outside the door. At that moment, they felt that familiar evil aura appeared in the mansion again.

"It should be the generator that's broken." The butler stood up and said, "The wiring in the mansion is a bit old, and there will be power outages occasionally. Um... who can go with me to the engine room to check it out?"

"Mr. Guancun, I advise you not to go out now." One of the twin brothers said, "Those things have appeared again, right outside. It is only safe to stay here at night."

Hearing this, the housekeeper sat back silently in the corner, looking a little depressed, muttering: "What is this... It's just an ordinary job..."

dong dong dong~
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Everyone froze. Goriki Kaito picked up the dagger and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

The door was knocked violently, but no one answered. The door was obviously not locked, and anyone could come in as long as they opened it, but the person outside just kept knocking on the door.

"Shit, they must be those evil spirits, right?" Gangli Kaito was furious: "How dare you provoke me like this? Do you think I'm an ordinary person who can't walk when he sees a ghost?"

Yamamori Zhangxiong stopped him, stared at him and said, "Wait for Master Gui Teng and the others. Don't make things complicated. Those guys can't get in."

"I know they can't get in!" Gangli Kaidou argued, "But if that's the case, we can't get out either? They're just a few evil spirits. I killed quite a few yesterday. If I can kill them all, there will be peace here. He's really a sorcerer, so timid."

Yamamori Akio sneered, "Fool, do you think my tolerance is weakness? Then before you cause trouble, I'd better let you stay in peace."

"Want to fight? That's just what I want." Goriki Kaito held the dagger with a grim smile, and said, "That guy Hiruda is fine, but you dare to go against me? Before I exorcise the spirit, I'll take care of you, a sewer rat."

When the internal quarrel between the two was about to break out, three figures suddenly stood out in the dim room.

Gangli Kaidou said impatiently: "Want to stop me? You see, he provoked me first, I just..."

"Idiot!" Yamamori Akihiro scolded, "Look carefully! They are not trying to stop you."

Gangli Kaito was stunned and looked at the three figures. They were actually the patients who had been in a daze. They had been attacked by evil spirits before and became stupid and dull. He didn't expect that they would take action now.

"Takuya?" Suzuna frowned and stood in front of him.

At this time, the three men's eyes rolled back and they walked towards the door involuntarily, as if something outside the door was calling them and wanted them to open the door. The existence outside the door also sensed the situation inside and knocked on the door with greater force, almost knocking it open.

"Open the door! It's me!"

A familiar voice came from outside the door, it was the voice of one of the three victims.

"Oh no." The priest and pharmacist Chuan Ren said, "It's those evil spirits using their souls to call their bodies! We must not open the door."

"We need to find something to tie them up!" Gangli Kaito said, "Because they might do something to hurt themselves and drag us down."

"But they can also bite their tongues and bang their heads against the wall." The puppet in the puppeteer Xiaosong's arms spoke: "But I have a way, leave it to me."

The neck of the puppet in his arms turned mechanically and looked at the three people. Its hair began to grow continuously, and those hairs fluttered and connected to the hands and feet of the three people, just like a puppet controlling a puppet. It temporarily restricted their movements and controlled them to sit back.

"Open the door! Open the door! It's me!" The voice continued to shout outside the door: "I escaped! Those guys are chasing me! Let me in!"

The people in the room were silent.

At this moment, Suzuna heard Takuya's voice coming from outside the door.

"Sister, help me!"
