The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 719 Hope and Despair (22)

These days, Nanajo Masato has been feeling that Inuyama Heita seems to have changed a little, but he can't tell where. He just feels that he is a little different from usual.

In order to prove that this was not an illusion, he asked Ajian for advice.

"Nanajo, your intuition is very sharp." Ken said to Nanajo Masato stealthily, "To be honest, I have the same feeling. Although he tried his best to behave exactly the same as before, the aura on his body cannot be faked."

Nanajo Masato was a little confused: "Aura?"

"Murderous intent, murderous intent." Ah Jian said, "For example, right now, he is full of anger."

Nanajo Masato glanced at Inuyama Heita, who was wearing an apron and cutting vegetables, and asked in confusion, "How did you know that?"

Ken said, "Ghosts are very sensitive. Usually, Inuyama is very peaceful and looks a bit stupid, so I can easily possess him without any obstacles. But if I do this now, I will probably be hurt immediately by the boiling blood in his body. He has been like this for the past few days, which means he is very angry."

"Still angry?" Nanajo Masato asked worriedly, "Did Saito Yuichi do something to him that night?"

Ah Jian shrugged: "I don't know. I didn't dare to show my head at that time. I couldn't see it as clearly as you."

"Should we ask Xiao Yi to come over and take a look?" Nanajo Masato said, "Is it possible that he was hit by the enemy's trick and hasn't been cleared yet?"

Dong! Inuyama Heita placed the kitchen knife in his hand heavily on the chopping board. He untied his apron, turned around and walked outside. In the living room, Ken and Shichijo Masato were watching the advertisement with great interest, and there was nothing unusual to see.

"Heitaro, what's wrong?" asked Nanajo Masato.

Inuyama Heita walked to the entrance to put on his shoes and said calmly, "We are out of soy sauce at home. I'll go downstairs to buy some."

As he said that, he opened the door and walked out, closing it behind him.

"It's really weird, isn't it?" Nanajo Masato said, "It's a strange calmness. I always feel like he's going to do something horrible."

"Really?" Ajian said.

Inuyama Heita took the elevator downstairs, went to the corner store to buy a bottle of soy sauce, and then walked back calmly, but he stopped at the door of the apartment building.

"You actually came down?" Saito Yuichi leaned aside and said strangely, "You are really bold, Jiujiu, we are enemies now, aren't you afraid that I will bring people to kill you?"

This time he didn't wear the stereotypical black robe of a cultist, but ordinary clothes, looking like an idle young man you could find on the street.

"Don't... call me by that name again!" Inuyama Heita clenched his fists and looked at Saito Yuichi like a beast, with an angry look on his face.

"Oh my~ Are you angry? That's scary." Saito Yuichi raised his hands to his chest, pretending to surrender, and said, "Oh, don't get excited. Just like I won't attack you directly on this busy street, do you want to rush over and beat me up? I'm going to call the police."

On the street behind them, pedestrians were hurrying and vehicles were flowing continuously. It was indeed not a good place to take action.

Inuyama Heita asked, "Why do you have my phone number?"

Saito Yuichi looked at him sarcastically: "The power of the Church of Hope is much stronger than you think. It's just a number... But you, Ninety-nine, you untalented guy, have become a real psychic now? You were a waste before." "No, don't call me that name again!" Inuyama Heita threw down the soy sauce, stepped forward, grabbed Saito Yuichi's collar, and yelled word by word.

"You want to beat me up?" Saito Yuichi smiled. "In front of so many people? You little brat, you were the most timid among us. Ninety-nine, you dare..."

Bang! Inuyama Heita punched Saito Yuichi in the face and knocked him to the ground.

Inuyama Heita looked back and saw that the pedestrians did not stop at all, but just quickened their pace and left. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they did not call the police. To some extent, the indifference of Tokyo people also helped him.

"It hurts so much..." Saito Yuichi covered his sore nose and got up from the ground. Then he looked up and saw Inuyama Heita raising his fist again.

Saito Yuichi quickly raised his hands and said, "Wait, wait, I'm not here to fight with you. Although I can accompany you if you want to fight, I really am not here to fight this time."

"Leave here." Inuyama Heita didn't ask for the reason and said directly: "Don't come near my house!"

"How decisive." Saito Yuichi dusted himself off and said, "You didn't even ask why I came... But if I didn't tell you, wouldn't my coming here be in vain? To be honest, I have always looked down on you because you are a piece of trash! I just came here to tell you a message."

Saito Yuichi leaned close to Inuyama Heita's ear and said, "She asked me to come here. She asked me to tell you not to get involved in this matter, to be an ordinary high school student, and not to have any contact with our Hope Church again."

Inuyama Heita's pupils shrank.

"That's it." Saito Yuichi put his hands in his pockets and said unhappily, "But personally, I still hope you don't listen to her advice. After all, I really want to take revenge and cut you into pieces... That's it, I won't come again, and I won't bother you again. The last time was just an accident, but next time if you appear in front of me again, you won't be as lucky as last time, Ninety-nine."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Inuyama Heita stood downstairs in a daze for a long time until Nanajo Masato called to ask about the situation. Only then did he come to his senses, picked up the soy sauce on the ground, and returned home.

In the afternoon, after Inuyama Heita had cleaned up the dishes, he said to Nanajo Masato, "Mr. Nanajo, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back before the evening. I'll ask you and Mr. Ken to look after the house in the afternoon."

Nanajo Masato asked, "Where are you going? It's not safe to go out alone, right? The other party has already done that kind of thing, do you want me to accompany you?"

Inuyama Heita shook his head: "It's just a personal matter, it will be fine."

After he refused, he walked out alone.

"There's a problem! There's definitely something wrong with Inuyama!" Ken said, "He didn't even take me with him, could it be that... he went on a tryst with a girl?!"

Regarding Jian's guess, Nanajo Masato was somewhat speechless: "Now is not the time to date a girl~ Forget it, I'll inform Xiao Yi first, he should be able to find a way."

Nanajo Masato made a phone call and informed Qian Xiaoyi of the matter.

"Well, I understand." Qian Xiaoyi said, "But you don't have to worry. I roughly know where he is going. It just so happens that I have something to go there too. With me watching over him, he will be fine."
