The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 707 Hope and Despair (10)

"I don't know what traps you have set for Brother Otoko," Inuyama Heita said, "but as long as I defeat you before he gets here, that's fine, right?"

Saito Yuichi sneered upon hearing this. In the darkness, his aura became even more distorted. "Are you underestimated by a trash like you? The one in front of you is not some useless Aquarius user... but a Saint of the Church of Hope!"

In this dim ghostland, Saito Yuichi's face was completely distorted and blurred, his figure began to flicker, and messy lines appeared on his body. This appearance immediately reminded Inuyama Heita of someone.

"Saint, huh? But you are much weaker than that [Monster]." Inuyama Heita said seriously, "At least, you can't give me a feeling of despair... I will completely defeat you and smash your plan before Brother O arrives!"

"Try if you can, you bragging brat!" Saito Yuichi was furious and stretched out his hand towards Inuyama Heita: "You don't even know what [despair] means!"

A huge amount of messy lines emerged from his palm, changing directions, and rushed towards Inuyama Heita and Shichijo Masato from all directions.

"President, please hide behind me. Ouch! It hurts, it hurts so much!"

One of the two office workers risked his life to stand in front of Shichijo Masato and help him resist the damage. He refused to give up even though his body was torn and deformed, which moved Shichijo Masato greatly. He wished he had such good subordinates in the past.

Another office worker rushed towards Inuyama Heita.

"Mr. Oda!" Heita Inuyama shouted,
"Yes! Section Chief!" Oda put his hands together in a diving posture, dived forward, and turned into a dark red tie, which was tied around Inuyama Heita's neck. In just a moment, Inuyama Heita changed into a cheap and somewhat loose suit.

The next second, the enemy's attack finally arrived, and those messy black lines pierced his body. In just a few seconds, Inuyama Heita's body was pierced into a hedgehog, as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows.

"Heitaro!" Shichijo Masato roared.

"Mr. Nanajo... I'm fine..." Inuyama Heita took a step forward, staring at Saito Yuichi in front of him, took a deep breath, and murmured: "This level of attack is nothing to me."

Red flames burned on his body, and the rising blood immediately cut off and burned the messy black lines. In the blink of an eye, Inuyama Heita's body returned to its original state.

This was the result of Inuyama Heita's practice during this period. He was not exaggerating. King Kong's attack was much more painful than before. Moreover, with this human-faced dog suit and his own blood and energy, he could withstand much more serious damage in the ghost realm than before.

Saito Yuichi was forced to take a step back by Inuyama Heita's momentum. He grinned and said, "Very good, very good! Only enemies like this are worth my effort... First, I will give you the mark of despair!"

He flashed forward and punched Inuyama Heita in the abdomen. The messy black lines were tangled like a tangled mess, directly piercing through Inuyama Heita's body, spreading from his back to his back, like growing vines and weeds, entangled with Inuyama Heita's body.

However, before Saito Yuichi could feel anything real, Inuyama Heita's hand grabbed his shoulder.

"I caught you." said Inuyama Heita.

A wriggling human face crawled along Inuyama Heita's arm and onto Saito Yuichi's body, like a slug, extremely disgusting and weird.

"What did you do to me?!" Feeling that strange force, as if seeing a cockroach flying at his face, Saito Yuichi burst out with horror and shook Inuyama Heita away.

Inuyama Heita bumped into the invisible wall of the ghost realm. He stood up while enduring the pain and looked at his chest, which was already occupied by a mass of black messy lines, wriggling like seaweed. Inuyama Heita looked up and said, "I did the same as you did, just planting a mark on the enemy." "Hello, sir." The face had moved to Saito Yuichi's chest, and he smiled with a business smile, "This is Oda, it's a pleasure to serve you."

"Ahhhhh! So disgusting!" Saito Yuichi used those black lines to attack the human face, causing it to scream.

"Stop! Stop, customer! This is very disturbing to me, it hurts! It hurts so much, Section Chief, this customer is crazy!"

At the same time as the man's face was crying out in pain, Saito Yuichi also felt the same pain. He fell to his knees and screamed.

At the same time, Inuyama Heita was not having a good time either. Saito Yuichi's pain seemed to cause a reaction in the black lines on Inuyama Heita's body. Those black lines pierced Inuyama Heita's body with their claws and fangs, appearing more vibrant.

"Ah!" Inuyama Heita couldn't bear it anymore, and he also knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, screaming with cold sweat on his head.

Hearing the two people screaming at the same time, Nanajo Masato was dumbfounded: "This is... a lose-lose situation? Is the battle between psychics so brutal?"

"Damn it, damn it! What kind of curse is this? Get out of my body!" Saito Yuichi roared, trying to expel the human face, but the more he cared about those emotions, the deeper the human face took root.

"Please don't be angry, sir. It's all my fault!" The human face said worriedly, "You'll get sick if you do this."

Saito Yuichi got even angrier after hearing this: "Then get out of here, bastard!"

He didn't expect that he would fall into the trap just because he was an assistant of the psychic detective.

The human face said, "Oh... This is not allowed. This is the company's order... Ahhh, it hurts. Stop hitting me, customer!"

Compared to Saito Yuichi's temper, Inuyama Heita was much calmer. He endured the pain and analyzed the power in his body.

"Inuyama, are you still not well?" Ken said in his ear, "I can resist these things temporarily, but their attack power is so strong, I don't know how long I can hold out. These things... should be thoughts, extremely desperate thoughts."

"Mr. Ken, thank you." Inuyama Heita was not as seriously injured as he looked. In the human-faced dog mode, even if he was pierced, he was only pierced in the ghost realm and his body was not hurt at all. This state can last until his sanity collapses.

"Is it despair?" Inuyama Heita thought, "Because of despair, the desire to destroy everything... What a terrifying existence, no wonder the attack power is so strong, and this negative cognition will continue to pollute and assimilate the target... Is this what [Mark] means?"

Although the nature of the enemy's power has been figured out, the problem is that Inuyama Heita still has no way to counter this power. If Qian Xiaoyi were here, he might be able to counter it easily, but he can't, because he has been in the industry for too short a time and knows too few tricks.

"Damn it... Is it all I can do to compete with the enemy to see who can hold on longer?" Inuyama Heita thought.

Not far away, looking at the two people kneeling on the ground in pain, Shichijo Masato clenched his fists and stood up. As an adult, he felt that he had to do something instead of being protected by a high school student!

"I'll help you!" shouted Nanajo Masato.
