The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 686: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (39)

"Brother Yi needs help!" Inuyama Heita had a bad feeling in his heart. Even Qian Xiaoyi needed help. Sure enough, the enemy this time was difficult to deal with.

"I have to find a chance to leave here. What excuse should I use? Maybe I have a stomachache..." Inuyama Heita thought. He glanced at the people in the Supernatural Department and had already thought of an excuse. If he couldn't come back in one night, he would say that he was lost in the mountains and was finally found by Qian Xiaoyi and the others, just like the time in White Fox Village.

Having made up his mind, Inuyama Heita prepared to go up and say hello to his companions, and then go directly to support Qian Xiaoyi and the others.

"Inuyama, wait a minute." Ken saw Inuyama Heita's actions and immediately knew what he was thinking, so he quickly said, "You're wrong. Brother O does need help, but he doesn't want you to fight with him. He said that your fighting ability is still too weak and your abilities are useless. If you go, you will only cause trouble."

"That's too much!" Inuyama Heita cried out after hearing this. So his heroic efforts to help in the battle were all in vain, right?
Everyone in the Psychic Club looked at him, and Kawasaki asked, "Huh? What? Inuyama, what did you say was too much?"

Inuyama Heita said hesitantly: "I... I said these people just left us here to feed the mosquitoes. It's too much. I have been bitten several times."

"Hiss... Now that you mention it..." Kawasaki began to feel itchy all over. He grabbed his arm and complained, "There are indeed a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains. How long are we going to stay here? No, I think this is definitely more than just an earthquake. How about we go around and take a look at the situation?"

"No!" Inuyama Heita grabbed Kawasaki and said, "It's very dangerous to run in the mountains at night!"

Others also agreed with Inuyama Heita's statement. It would be fine to go to other places, but running around in this strange mountain? Did he think his life was too long?
Seeing everyone working together to stop it, Kawasaki had to give up this dangerous idea.

Inuyama Heita breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked quietly, "So what did Brother O say?"

Ajian popped his head out, listened carefully to the noise in the distance, and then relayed: "...Brother Yi needs us to find the enemy's true identity, and then let Suzuki take action."

"Suzuki-san?" Inuyama Heita looked at Suzuki. Suzuki noticed his gaze and gave him a puzzled look.

Inuyama Heita was not surprised that the person Qian Xiaoyi asked for help was Suzuki. After all, he brought this group of high school students with him to Osoreyama this time. In addition to making some extra money, a big part of the reason was to cover for Suzuki. You know, she is the ultimate insurance for some dangerous commissions of the firm, and she is like a secret weapon, so she cannot be exposed to others easily.

"What about me?" Inuyama Heita turned around and pretended to look at the scenery, then lowered his head and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Ah Jian said bluntly and coldly: "He asked you to just look after Kawasaki, don't worry about anything else."

"That's all? You're so disrespectful!" Inuyama Heita felt sad for himself.

Kawasaki asked, "Inuyama, what were you mumbling about just now? If you get bit by bugs, I have mosquito repellent in my bag."

"No, nothing." Inuyama Heita sighed, staring at Kawasaki with a gloomy look, feeling a little uneasy.

Kawasaki changed the subject and said, "So how long are we going to stay here? We might as well go back to our room and sleep."

Not only him, other tourists also complained.

Inuyama Heita took the opportunity to signal Suzuki, who understood and said, "I'll go ask, Inuyama-san, can you come with me to the front to take a look?"

"Oh, okay." Inuyama Heita followed.

"Go quickly and come back soon~" Kawasaki yelled from behind, "Remember to tell me if anything happens."

After the two left the crowd, they deliberately slowed down their pace. Inuyama Heita quickly told Suzuki about the situation. Suzuki asked, "What are the details? Even if you want my help, how should I help you?" Inuyama Heita scratched his head and turned to ask, "Mr. Ken?"

Suzuki only saw Inuyama Heita staring at an empty place, as if he was listening to someone's answer, which made her feel strange, but knowing the cognitive theory, she could only immediately stop imagining in this regard and no longer think about it.

After a while, Inuyama Heita nodded, then turned to Suzuki and said, "Brother Otsu told us to find out the enemy's true identity. He suspects that the enemy's true identity is hiding in the temple."

"True identity? What does that mean?" Suzuki asked, "Is the enemy hiding in the temple? Or is he hiding among the tourists? Do we need to find the real culprit like detectives?"

Inuyama Heita said, "No, Brother Oto said the enemy is a zombie, so what we should be looking for is... a corpse."

“……”Suzuki was silent.

Seeing this, Inuyama Heita felt a little embarrassed. Although Suzuki was indeed a staunch atheist, suddenly asking her to find a corpse or something... She was just a high school student after all, right? Didn't you think it was a bit too much? Even if it was Suzuki, she would be afraid, right?

"A corpse? I see." Suzuki asked calmly, "What's the state of the corpse? Is it rotten? Or has it turned into bones? Is it intact or dismembered? If it's dismembered, it will be hard to find."

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Ken said at the side: "Inuyama clan... I always feel that this girl is much more reliable than you."

Inuyama Heita's mouth twitched. It seemed that he was worrying for nothing. He immediately said, "It's a zombie. The body should not have decayed, but it has dried up. It should have been treated with a certain degree of preservation. According to Brother Yi, the zombie should have been stored in a [corpse breeding ground] in the dry area near the crater. However, he suspected that after so many years, the corpse had already been grown and moved away."

"That is to say, the body is intact." Suzuki said, "In this case, the range is much smaller, and there are not many places to store a body. But even so, this entire temple is not small, and so many years have passed, and the people in the temple have not discovered the existence of the body... It will be difficult for us to find it in one night, right?"

Inuyama Heita said: "Brother O said that he would help us determine the approximate range, so we just need to wait patiently."

Suzuki looked at Inuyama Heita in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Inuyama Heita shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but based on what Brother O did, we will probably know later."

After discussing the action plan, Inuyama Heita came to the entrance of the temple. There were already a few tourists standing there, asking when they could go in and rest, but the people at the entrance still refused to let them in, causing everyone to complain.

At this time, Inuyama Heita saw an acquaintance coming out of the door, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Master Gui Teng!"

Kidou Ryumitsu also saw Inuyama Heita, but did not show any surprise.

"Brother Inuyama." Gui Teng Longguang nodded. Although he didn't know the intention of Qian Xiaoyi's arrangement, Gui Teng Longguang just had to do it. He said, "Brother Qian asked me to pick you up. It's getting late. He is worried about you high school students, so he asked you to go back to the room to rest first."

Inuyama Heita was stunned: "Huh? You mean all of us?"

Gui Teng Longguang nodded: "That's what he said."

Inuyama Heita thought: "Is he covering for Suzuki-san? That's why Brother Oto asked me to look after the others, especially Senior Kawasaki, and the support mission was given to Suzuki-san..."

After figuring it out, Inuyama Heita immediately went back to inform everyone else. This news made the high school students in the psychic department very happy. Finally, they didn't have to feed mosquitoes in the open space. It couldn't be better to go back and rest.

Seeing them being let in caused some dissatisfaction among the tourists outside, but these were resolved one by one by Gui Teng Long Guang. Although he was not good at exorcism, he was very experienced in dealing with interpersonal relationships.
