The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 646: Intensive Special Training (9)

In the clean and bright corridor, for some reason, Terao Yu felt a hint of ominous aura coming from the front. The black vines invisible to ordinary people continued to spread outward like parasites, and if they took another step forward, they would step on these creeping things.

Although the nurse leading them couldn't see these things, he shuddered involuntarily. He stopped and said, "The patient you want to visit is in the room in front. We have put a straitjacket on him. Because the patient's condition is very serious, you can only observe from outside the room and cannot touch him without permission. Is that okay?"

Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand: "We have no intention of contacting him, don't worry, we can just go and take a look ourselves."

The nurse said: "There are surveillance cameras in the ward. If there are any problems, we will rush over as soon as possible."

Although it seemed that this was not in compliance with regulations, the caregiver must have received some notice and did not follow the two people but left on his own.

Terao Yu looked at the exaggerated curse power emanating from the corridor and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He asked, "Is Hiruda that guy... so dangerous even if he's crazy?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "It's because he's crazy that he's dangerous. Uncontrolled power often means destruction. After Hiruda went crazy, he enjoyed the highest level of treatment. I heard that not only did he have to wear a straitjacket during the day, he was also tied to the bed at night. Otherwise, he might suddenly go crazy and attack the caregivers. It seems that several such incidents have already happened."

Terao Yu felt a little sad for Hiruda: "The strongest sorcerer in Tokyo, Hiruda... ended up like this."

"But even so, don't underestimate him." Qian Xiaoyi said, "At first his symptoms were not as serious as they are now. He was just stupid and foolish like an idiot, but later the caregivers found that this guy would instinctively draw some indescribable patterns on the notebook with a pen. Just looking at those patterns would make people feel disgusted and scared, and when he saw these patterns, he would feel very happy and his aggressiveness would become stronger.

After his pen and paper were taken away, he became even more aggressive, using feces and blood to continue writing those patterns on the wall. His condition became more serious, and he even attacked the caregivers for the "paint" in their bodies... So after that, the hospital had to raise his danger level to the highest level, and change the caregivers every once in a while."

Terao Yu was a little terrified. He asked, "So what are we doing here this time?"

He was a little afraid that Qian Xiaoyi would make some excessive demands, such as devouring the curse on the other party. Even if it was special training, it would be too difficult and might even kill people.

"Didn't I already say that?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "We are just here to see him."

"Look?" Terao Yu was stunned, and it took him several seconds to react: "Just look? Is there nothing else to do?"

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Yes, I just watched. You also know that the Terao family actually has a genetic disease, right? Or in your words... a genetic curse."

Terao Yu said, "Well, in order to continue the talent of this kind of sorcerer, the main family had a tradition of marrying within the clan in ancient times, so the curse there has always been more serious, and most people do not live beyond 50 years old... I am from the branch family. Although there is also a family history of illness, the branch family has a much longer life span... But because of this, the branch family's talent in sorcery has always been inferior to that of the main family...

Wait, you mean...Hiruda won't live much longer?"

He suddenly reacted.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Yes, although he is only in his thirties, he has developed many diseases in the past year since he became mentally ill. If he is lucky, he may live another ten or twenty years, but if he suddenly dies one night, no one will be surprised. So in order to prevent such an accident, I think it is better for you to come and meet him. After all, don't you want to surpass him?"

"I understand." Terao Yu nodded and said, "Teacher Qian, let's go."

Qian Xiaoyi took a step back and said, "It's not me, it's you." Terao Yu was dumbfounded: "Huh? Why?"

Qian Xiaoyi looked at him like a fool and said, "Don't you want to know who made him become like this?"

Terao was silent, he just remembered that the person in front of him was the culprit who made Hiruda become like this. It was very likely that Hiruda would go completely crazy as soon as he saw Qian Xiaoyi. Although he was crazy, the power of the curse was no joke, and it was undoubtedly a dangerous weapon for psychics like them.

"Then...should I go?" Terao Yu asked tentatively.

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Go quickly, otherwise it will be bad if the visiting time is over."

So Terao Yu could only bite the bullet and walk deeper into the corridor. The deeper he went, the more he could feel the malice in the curses, which were completely different from the curses he collected in his daily life.

If the curse he possessed was at the murderer level, then the curse aura emitted by Hiruda might be at the anti-human terrorist level... or even higher.

"Can I really do this and surpass Hiruda?" Terao Yu was a little confused. He slowly walked to the visiting window and looked at the source of the curse - Hiruda Makoto who was sitting in the restraint chair.

……

After a while, Terao Yu grabbed his arms and returned to the elevator entrance trembling all over. Qian Xiaoyi had been waiting here for a long time. He had a book in his hand and was leaning against the wall reading it.

Hearing the footsteps, Qian Xiaoyi put away his book, looked up at Terao Yu's pale and uneasy face, and asked, "How is it?"

Terao Yu glanced at him and murmured, "No... I simply can't bear a curse of that magnitude... It's too horrible..."

He put his trembling hands to his mouth, bit his nails, and his teeth chattered.

Terao Yu did not see any horrific scenes in the ward. On the contrary, the ward was very clean. Only Hiruda was sitting quietly on the chair, wearing a straitjacket, staring at him intently.

Hiruda's originally long hair was shaved short, and he wore a mask covering the lower half of his face. Only his eyes were still staring at the people outside.

Terao Yu noticed that Hiruda didn't recognize him at all... No, it should be said that Hiruda didn't remember him at all. To Hiruda, he was just an insignificant little person and there was no need to leave an impression in his memory.

But... the astonishing power of the curse still erupted. It was not directed at a certain person, but was full of complete malice towards all human beings and all things.

At this time, Terao Yu truly realized the gap between him and the goal he wanted to catch up with. His heart fell infinitely into the abyss.

Because he understood that he might never be able to surpass the other person.
