The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 724 Hope and Despair (27)

In the end, the two of them set off together. There was no tram in the middle of the night, so they could only ride motorcycles. Because of the previous confrontation, the two of them were silent along the way.

"What a shame~" Ken muttered into the jade pendant, "I thought I could see the exciting scene of Inuyama getting beaten up by Brother Otoko."

Inuyama Heita now just wants Ajian to shut up and not mention what happened before. He didn't know what happened at that time. He was so confident that he wanted to challenge Qian Xiaoyi in a duel. Now that he has calmed down, he is a little scared.

"Sure enough, is that power still influencing me?" Inuyama Heita thought silently: "Or is it my nature?"

While he was still thinking, Qian Xiaoyi slowly parked the car on the side of the road and said, "We're here."

Inuyama Heita was stunned, and then he immediately noticed the flashing red and blue police lights on the side of the road, the cordon, and... a pool of blood on the ground.

Yoshisuke Ashiya was standing outside the cordon and talking to a priest. When he saw Qian Xiaoyi coming, Yoshisuke Ashiya nodded to him with a serious expression.

……

A little earlier, as it grew darker, the rain finally stopped and an inconspicuous black car stopped steadily on the side of the street and turned off the engine, but no one inside came out.

"Are you serious? Here?" Fumu Yin was in the back seat with the knife next to him. Fumu Yin narrowed his eyes, looked at Okubo in the driver's seat, and asked, "Is this the location of the First Saint you confirmed? Are you kidding me? Believe it or not, I can kill you right now!"

"Wait a minute." Okubo was sweating. He said, "Mr. Fushigi, did I do something wrong? According to the data I collected, there is indeed a group of Aquarius users coming from this church! This has always been a stable production point for Aquarius users. Every once in a while, believers from this church are sent to the base of the Church of Hope for conversion... Mr. Fushigi, did I do something wrong? Is there something wrong with this church?"

Fumu Yin was silent for a while, then said: "This... This is the church where a very famous exorcist senior is located... St. Mary's Church. Although I don't know if it has the same name, but if I'm right, this is the territory of that senior."

"Exorcist?!" Okubo was a little surprised, but he calmed down immediately: "Wait, if the First Saint is both a priest and an exorcist, it makes sense, both are good disguises... But it's not certain, it's possible that this church is just a cover, and the real First Saint may also be a believer here..."

"It's unlikely." Fumu Yin looked at the church and said, "In this kind of church, the priest must be very familiar with his believers. After all, the church can only operate with their donations. So even if the believers are occasionally sick and miss the church, the priest will contact them to express his condolences. If those Aquarius messengers really came from here... there is no reason for him not to know. Okubo, you really gave me a surprise this time."

Okubo was somewhat relieved and somewhat afraid. He was relieved that Fushigi Yin did not abandon him, but he was afraid that if the Hope Church discovered that he had betrayed them, his fate would be even more miserable. Now he was like drinking poison to quench thirst, and no matter what, he would not have a good ending.

"What should we do next?" asked Okubo. He really wanted the other party to let him go right now, but it was obvious that this was impossible.

"Wait, wait until he closes the door and comes out." Fu Muyin held the knife and looked out the window: "There is still someone inside."

"What should we do if he comes out?" asked Okubo.

Fuki Ino stroked the scabbard and said, "If he is a human, then I will kill him first and use my method to force him to tell me his true identity. If he is really that saint, I will torture him to get useful information and then kill him. If he is not, then I will kill you as an apology." "That's too embarrassing!" Okubo was about to cry, "I am just speculating. I really don't know the other party's true identity."

"Then you'd better pray that he is the one we are looking for." Fumu smiled coldly: "Aren't we next to the church? Pray to God. Maybe he can hear your call."

Upon hearing this, Okubo actually started praying according to the Christian steps. Now, no matter what it was, as long as it was a god who could save him, he would believe in it.

"Oh God, please let me get rid of this plague god as soon as possible." Okubo prayed in his heart: "I just did some business, I have never hurt anyone personally, and I don't even have a criminal record. I don't deserve to suffer such a sin..."

At least in Okubo's own opinion, his hands are clean. As to whether others need his hands to be kept clean, or he really keeps his hands clean, it is hard to say.

The car waited quietly across the street for a long time, and Okubo's stomach began to growl. He hadn't been hungry in many years, so he had never suffered such pain. Then, even though he wanted to suggest going to the convenience store to buy something to eat, Fushigi Yin just threw him a red bean bread, which made him complain in his heart for a long time.

People kept coming out of the church, but none of them were their target. They looked like ordinary believers. This was natural. If the believers did not leave, how could the priest dare to leave work?

Okubo didn't know how long he had to wait, and he was getting impatient. Not long after he finished eating the red bean bread, Okubo excitedly straightened up and looked out the window: "There's movement."

It seemed that some ceremony had ended, and a large group of people filed out of the church. Finally, two people appeared at the door of the church. One of them looked like an ordinary old lady who was still wiping her tears, and the other was the person they were waiting for, the man in the black surplice.

"Is it him?" Okubo asked, "That man."

Fumu Yin approached the window and observed carefully, then said: "There should be no one else in the church at this time except him. It seems that a memorial service was just being held."

Okubo's heart was pounding. He said, "The memorial service is over now. Should we go up?"

"Wait, wait until he comes out." Fu Muyin said, "The church should be closing soon, let's just kidnap him."

Okubo swallowed.

The priest and the old lady seemed to be saying something comforting, and their attitudes were gentle. Normally, Fuki Yin would never consider such a person as a member of the cult, but now it was the opposite. The gentler the other party's attitude, the more disgusted Fuki Yin felt.

"Father Kamino..." Fukiin murmured, "Although we haven't dealt with him much in normal times, but... are you really that kind of person?"
