The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 446: The Great Battle of Exorcism (23)

In the corridor, the scenery seen by the face was also transmitted to Inuyama Heita's eyes.

"These dolls... are the victims!" Inuyama Heita recognized their identities by the different clothes on the dolls.

"The man wearing a baseball cap and carrying a camera is Suzuna-san's younger brother, Takuya-san."

"The doll with the scorpion on its face is the sorcerer Yamamori-san."

"The guy wearing gothic clothes... is that Mr. Terao? Was he attacked as well?"

"There are two more dolls, and the clothes match."

Ah Jian said: "So those two people are indeed Gorikito's accomplices! Ah, they have started searching, are we really safe hiding here?"

The door of the room opened with a creaking sound. The puppet looked around and found the room was in a mess, just like other places. No one was seen.

It lifted its foot and continued to move forward.

Feeling that thing was getting closer to his hiding place, cold sweat dripped from Inuyama Heita's forehead while he was hiding in the closet.

Just then, the face down the corridor made a strange movement.

"Work... Is the working time over so soon?" The human face yawned, as if struggling hard, and kept squeezing forward.

The priests and puppeteers were staring at the changes before their eyes as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The face gradually broke free from the wall and turned into a figure in a suit, who looked like a common middle-aged office worker.

"Ah~ You two are our customers this time, right?" The middle-aged office worker bowed politely and said, "I'm Sato, please give me your guidance."

The priest did not hesitate at all. He took out a talisman from his sleeve and threw it at the middle-aged office worker. Then, he shouted, "Suppress!"

"Aiya!" The middle-aged office worker was cursed without any resistance. He rolled on the ground in a panic, his body constantly squeezed and deformed, shouting, "Customer! Please stop. My waist is going to break. It really is going to break! It hurts, it hurts..."

The priest looked at the guy warily, and then said, "Keep looking for the enemy. He must be using this method to distract us, which means he is nearby!"

Just when the puppeteer was about to agree, the middle-aged office worker "popped" and was crushed by the talisman as if he could not bear the weight, splashing out a sour and smelly black liquid. The puppeteer and the priest were caught off guard and were splashed with a few drops of liquid.

"It stinks!" The puppeteer stepped back and said to the puppet in his arms, "What is this? Is it a curse?"

The priest sniffed the body, frowned and said: "It's not a curse, this smell... is more like the smell of alcohol?"

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." A humble voice said beside them: "I drank a little too much last night, and came to work without taking a shower..."

The priest and the puppeteer were horrified and jumped away immediately. Next to them suddenly appeared the figure of a middle-aged office worker who called himself "Sato"!
"Go to hell!" The hair of the puppet in the puppeteer's arms suddenly grew and turned into millions of sharp spikes that attacked the middle-aged office worker, but went straight through his body.

The middle-aged office worker came to the puppeteer without noticing, rubbed his hands, and asked flatteringly: "Dear guest, were you looking for something just now? Do you need my help?"

The puppeteer screamed, "Who the hell are you!" This time he even forgot to use ventriloquism to control the puppet to speak, and used his own voice, which was sharp and unpleasant.

"I'm Sato." The middle-aged office worker nodded and bowed, "I just introduced myself. Have you forgotten, sir?"

The priest noticed something. In disbelief, he stretched out his hand and touched the middle-aged office worker, but he felt nothing.

"Evil spirit? Illusion?" The priest's eyes widened, and a strange emotion grew in his heart. "It's Sato." The middle-aged office worker emphasized.

In the room, at the moment when the puppet master was distracted to attack the middle-aged office worker, Inuyama Heita rushed out of the closet, took advantage of this moment to hold down the puppet in front of him, and then opened his mouth...

"啕~"

Outside the corridor, the puppeteer who was struggling with the middle-aged office worker Sato suddenly shook, and a hair of the puppet in his arms broke, which made him feel very bad.

"Oh no! One of the puppets has lost contact!" said the puppet in the puppeteer's arms, "The enemy is in the room. Ignore this guy. Kill the main body first, and he should disappear!"

"Understood." The priest agreed.

The middle-aged office worker said attentively, "Is there anything I can help you with, my two guests?"

The two ignored him. Just as they were about to rush to the room, they saw a figure walking out of the room.

——Another middle-aged office worker.

"Hello, sir. I'm Xiaotian!" The office worker nodded and said, "Please take care of me!"

The situation was exactly the same as before, so the priests and puppeteers were deterred. They had not forgotten that their reckless attack had caused a lingering phantom to appear around them, and now there was another one? !

"Oh! Section Chief Oda!" The phantom company animal greeted enthusiastically, "Are you here too? These two guests are quite impatient, and seem to be looking for something. Have you seen it?"

The office worker Oda who walked out of the room showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, took out a doll wearing Gothic clothing from behind, and asked: "Are you two guests looking for this? I just found this doll in the room, it looks very strange."

He took a few steps forward, wanting to return the puppet to the puppeteer.

"Stand there and don't move!" The puppeteer looked at him warily and made the puppet in his arms shout, "Don't come near us!"

"But the guests..." Oda wanted to say something but was interrupted.

"I can tell there's something wrong with you!" The priest looked at the suspicious stains on the puppet in his hand with disdain. He could smell the familiar sour smell from a distance. The priest said, "Is this a trap? They used the screams of the divine Mariko to lure us in, and then used that human face to trick us into thinking there were enemies in the room. Then, if they attack you strange evil spirits, we will be infected with some evil curse... Mr. Komatsu, we can't keep this puppet anymore."

The puppeteer stared at Oda fiercely and told the puppet in his arms, "I know... Hey, you just said we are guests, right? Then, I order you to stay away from us! Can you do that?"

"Eh?" Oda took another step forward: "But this doll..."

"I don't want it anymore!" The puppeteer screamed, "Back off! I order you to back off!"

"Yes..." Oda took two steps back in grievance.

"Retreat again!" the priest shouted.

"Yes……"

"A little further away! A little further back...Okay, stand there and don't move!"

Oda retreated obediently further and further away, standing alone in the distance. Just when the priest and the puppeteer set up the barrier and prepared to launch a long-range attack, they suddenly saw - the guy turned and ran away.
