The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 713 Hope and Despair (16)

A cordon has been set up in the ward to prevent outsiders from entering. Police officers from the forensic department are taking pictures of a body in the ward.

The deceased was a young doctor with a good reputation and great prospects. He was usually kind and very popular among his patients.

He was on rounds when a masked assailant with a samurai sword suddenly broke in and brutally killed him in the ward. The assailant's methods were extremely cruel and could be described as torture. The victim died in extreme pain. Because he was the only doctor on night duty on the floor, he was not discovered until the next day.

What's even more strange is that the patients in other wards did not hear any sounds of fighting or screaming.

There was also a patient and a family member of the patient at the crime scene. Although the murderer did not harm them, the family member of the patient seemed to be frightened and kept talking nonsense when faced with police inquiries.

"Monster, the doctor has turned into a monster!" The old man spoke incoherently, "He is a monster! He wants me to kill Arisa! Many things came out of his body, and those were the people he had harmed! He was killed by another vengeful ghost! Haha, good kill! Good kill! Arisa, I'm going to take care of Arisa..."

No matter how they tried to comfort him, the patient's family member couldn't calm down, so they couldn't get any information about the murderer from him, which made the search more difficult.

"This is the information we have at the moment. It was all obtained from Mr. Ashiya's friends at the Metropolitan Police Department." Hoshiba Rang sighed, "That Fushiki guy is really messing around."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Is this the last person he killed last night?"

"Yes." Xingba Rang said, "He had committed a crime before. He rushed into the gathering place of senior members of the Hope Church and started a massacre, killing several Aquarians. One of them might be a [Saint]."

"I roughly know what he's thinking." Qian Xiaoyi speculated, "Is he planning to use the ability of the demon sword [Blood Cherry] to devour resentment, torture those cultists in the ghost realm, and make them give out information about key figures, so as to take back his wife's soul?"

"More than that." Xingchang Rang said, "Although the demon sword made by my family is not like the one made by Qinggui, which can directly devour other people's souls, Fumu Yin is a very powerful exorcist. He may be able to use some spells to cooperate with the demon sword to achieve this function. So he took the demon sword, I'm afraid it's not only for torture, but also for the purpose of accumulating bargaining chips."

"If you put it that way, I can understand him a little bit." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "If he joins the alliance, according to our current practice, we will first test the opponent, then find the opponent's weakness and kill them with one blow. Although this method is more stable, it will take a long time... He can't wait. The longer Miss Yangzi's soul-leaving symptoms drag on, the smaller the chance of her waking up. No one knows how those evil cults will manipulate Miss Yangzi's soul. Although she is also a powerful psychic, how long can she last..."

Xingchang Rang said: "So, he must expand the conflict between the Church of Hope and the Alliance as soon as possible to get enough information and bargaining chips... In fact, I was a little worried before that he would be threatened by the other party and join the Alliance and then betray it. I didn't expect him to make such an explosive revenge. It's completely inconsistent with his previous personality. I feel a little respect for him."

Qian Xiaoyi said, "The more someone is used to enduring, the stronger their outburst will be. You also said that he is a very powerful exorcist, and he naturally knows what the consequences will be if he is controlled by a harmful cult. The other party will only continue to use hostages to threaten him and will never let them go, so he chose this path. From his point of view, this approach is the most appropriate."

The two were silent for a while, neither of them felt anything about the deaths of those cult members. After all, they were in this line of work, they had seen a lot, and they knew too well what these people would do, especially the senior members of the cult, whose hands must be stained with filth to have reached this point. Coincidentally, Fuki Yin killed those senior members, so it didn't matter if those people died.

Although it was said like that, Fumu Yin did cause them a lot of trouble and disrupted the alliance's offensive plan. Those fanatics couldn't tell who was who and only thought that the exorcists were extremely vicious and actually attacked innocent religious groups like them who valued truth, goodness and beauty. They must be punished! Heavenly punishment! Qian Xiaoyi could imagine the consequences of continuing like this. The exorcists and those cultists would both suffer losses, and in the end the Hundred Ghosts Organization would benefit.

Don't forget, their biggest enemy is not just this cult.

"We need to find him quickly."

"It's impossible not to stop him."

The two people came to the same conclusion.

Xingchang Rang said: "However, how to find him is a problem. The police are already looking for him everywhere. It is only a matter of time to confirm his identity. The enemy will not let him go either. We have to find him before those people do."

"How to find it?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"We can only use Miss Yoko." Xingba Rang said, "She is currently being taken care of by the Alliance. It is Granny Tao's eldest disciple, Ms. Miba, who is taking care of her. Maybe we can use psychic means to find that guy."

"I don't think there's much hope." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "You also said that Fumu Yin is not an ordinary exorcist. He must know that Miss Yangzi will be protected by us, so he can attack those senior members of the Hope Cult without any worries. So before he gets the decisive bargaining chip, it is impossible for him to show up on his own initiative."

"Tsk... What a headache." Xingchang Rang rubbed the back of his head. This was a real headache, no matter what level it was.

He said: "I am curious, what would happen if the other party took out his wife's soul to threaten him?"

"Kill to stop killing." Qian Xiaoyi said: "If Fu Muyin did this, he must have realized something. He will retaliate in a more radical way. This is what he does. Just kidding, when the time comes, maybe he will abandon his identity as an exorcist and directly use some homemade firearms to assassinate the leader. After all, even if the other party has a nest, if the real body is dead, then it is really dead. In this respect, everyone is equal."

"No way..." Xingchang Rang broke out in a cold sweat: "If that happens, it will be a fight to the death. God knows what those fanatics will do when they see that scene..."

There are precedents for cults in Japan causing major safety hazards. If that happens, it will be the end of the world. Not only will the Hundred Ghosts not be punished, but they, the righteous exorcists, may also be implicated and become scapegoats.

Qian Xiaoyi said carefully: "I'll leave the task of finding someone to you. I'll go check on Miss Yangzi."
