The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 448: The Great Battle of Exorcism (23)

"I can feel it! Come on, Inuyama!" Ken shouted, "That direction is the exit! It's right over there."

Inuyama Heita was running at full speed in the corridor. Behind him, besides the puppeteer and the priest, there were also several evil spirit soldiers. They formed a long line in the corridor, like a train.

The sound of gunfire was incessant, and the bullets hitting Inuyama Heita's suit were like hitting a quagmire, not splashing a single drop of water.

"Is it there?" Inuyama Heita formed the Bagua seal with his hands and pointed it at the blank wall, then activated the illusion-breaking effect.

A staircase suddenly appeared in front of him. Without thinking too much, he jumped down the moment the staircase appeared and fled to the first floor.

"Got it! King Kong's aura is nearby!" Ah Jian commanded, "Go over there!"

Inuyama Heita continued to run while panting, and finally saw King Kong walking out of the room at the end of the corridor. Inuyama Heita waved the puppet in his hand and shouted, "King Kong, help, help!"

Kongo also saw the large group of people following Inuyama Heita and waved, "Come in!"

Inuyama Heita rolled over the obstacles in the corridor and rushed into the kitchen. King Kong immediately closed the door, and only the sound of bullets hitting the door could be heard.

"We're saved..." Inuyama Heita supported himself on his knees and gasped for breath. When he looked up, he found that Kidou Ryuko was also there.

Gui Teng Longguang looked at the gate with concern and asked, "Are those accomplices of the enemy outside?"

Inuyama Heita said: "Yes! Mr. Yakushigawa and Mr. Komatsu are actually both enemies!"

Kongo said: "Brother Hataya is also..."

The three of them looked at each other.

"This is no longer about finding an undercover agent among the crowd..." King Kong sighed, "We should ask who among us is not an undercover agent!"

After saying that, the two looked at Gui Teng Long Guang.

Gui Teng Longguang quickly waved his hands and said, "I am not an enemy! The fact that people outside cannot come in is proof!"

Inuyama Heita looked towards the door and saw strange scriptures written all over the door. They were the work of Guifuji Ryumitsu. These scriptures emitted bursts of golden light under the attack from outside. It seemed that what he said was true.

"See?" Gui Teng Long Guang said, "If it weren't for the barrier I set up, this gate would be broken in an instant. So if I'm the insider, how about letting the enemy in and besieging you?"

"So you, old man, have been hiding here like a coward from the beginning?" Musashi said bluntly, "It is impossible for such a person to be in the same group with those people. He is too weak."

Gui Teng Longguang's face turned red, and then he said seriously: "This is not weakness, this is a correct judgment based on the current situation. It is because I am here that you have a chance to take a break."

King Kong agreed with Gui Teng Long Guang's words and nodded, "In this case, the remaining enemies should only be the two outside. The others have basically been ruled out as suspects. We just need to kill them, right?"

"Don't forget to rescue the victims. They should be the source of the power of this mansion." Inuyama Heita took out the doll and said, "I just snatched a doll back, but I can't remove the seal on it."

King Kong looked at Musashi and asked, "Is there any solution?"

Musashi spread his hands and said, "If you want me to destroy this thing directly, I can do it, but breaking the seal without harming the soul inside is not my specialty~"

"Leave it to me to remove the curse." Gui Teng Long Guang said confidently: "After I went back this time, I practiced hard for a long time, and I have recovered some of the strength I had when I was young." King Kong asked very frankly: "Master Gui Teng was actually more powerful when he was young? Aren't exorcists stronger as they gain more experience?"

"Alas... You all know my background, so I'll tell you the truth." Gui Teng Longguang took the doll, checked it over and over, and said, "When I was young, I was just like you, full of passion and ambition. I always wanted to use my own strength to help others solve their problems and gain everyone's recognition. But this society taught me a hard lesson...

So I was gradually smoothed by society and became smooth. Profits and fame blinded my mind, and I completely forgot the principles in the Buddhist scriptures... Later, I lost my original intention, and indeed I thrived in this city. Everyone called me Master Ghost Vine, but I no longer had the spirit I had in the past. I don’t know when I started to go against the Buddha... Until last year, I met Brother Qian and was hit hard. After returning to my hometown to meditate and practice, I suddenly realized...

Ah, I know how to remove the curse on this doll, but it will take some time."

As he spoke, he took out a brush and began to write a formation composed of scriptures on the ground.

In just a moment, a small formation was formed. He placed the puppet in the center of the formation, knelt down, and began to chant. The murmuring sound surrounded the entire room, and the tadpole-like scriptures began to crawl onto the puppet.

Bang, bang, bang! The banging noises outside the door were getting louder and louder, and the barrier seemed unable to hold out for long. However, Gui Teng Longguang was still like an old monk in meditation, unaffected by anything, and still muttered and chanted scriptures.

"It looks like the barrier is about to collapse." King Kong said, "I'll hold the door, you watch here."

Inuyama Heita understood that Kongo meant for him to protect the ritual of Ryuko Kidou, while also keeping an eye on him to prevent any strange movements.

With a bang, the kitchen door finally couldn't bear the weight and was blown to pieces.

The puppeteer stood behind, the puppet in his arms connected to the evil spirits of the soldiers with their hair. He ordered: "Go in and kill everyone inside! Don't leave any alive!"

"Eh? Isn't this a bad idea?" The phantom office worker said beside him, "Forget about violence, President. You'll go to jail."

The puppeteer ignored the guy and turned to look at the priest, asking the puppet: "Has it not been resolved yet? This thing has been following us."

The priest was trying every possible way to deal with this annoying middle-aged office worker, but no matter what method he used, it was useless. Sweat dripped from his head: "I don't know... I have no idea what this is... I don't understand!"

He looked like he was going crazy.

"If you don't understand, just take a break." The middle-aged office worker put his hand on his shoulder and winked, "Boss, how about we go for a drink? Then I'll take you to a store where there are several nice girls..."

The priest stared blankly at the hand on his shoulder. He could clearly feel the real touch.

"Go away!" The priest waved his hand hurriedly, trying to knock the other's hand away, but it went straight through, just like before.

The priest was extremely surprised and said, "I can't touch him, but he can still affect me? What on earth is this thing?"

"what!"

"Do you think a few evil spirits can stop me?" At this time, there was a loud noise in the kitchen, and King Kong walked out of the smoke and said to them: "You are the last enemy, right? Are you ready to be beaten?"

Then, three figures appeared behind him.

Inuyama Heita supported Terao Yu and walked to Kongo together with Kidou Ryuko. Terao Yu raised his head and looked at the priest and puppeteer fiercely, saying: "Thanks for your care just now, the two of you..."
