The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 728 Hope and Despair (31)

"Huh...huh..."

In his field of vision, the road illuminated by car lights continued to extend. Okubo felt that his heartbeat was just like the speed of the car, which was accelerating all the time. Even though he was just sitting in the driver's seat, his breathing could not help but become heavy, and he was sweating profusely and felt uneasy.

That Fumu Yin actually committed suicide in front of him! That scene was too shocking for him as a businessman. Even though he often helped people deal with some troublesome matters, he was only responsible for contacting professionals to deal with them. He himself did not participate in those matters, so this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

However, even if the bastard Fuki Yin who held him hostage died, his troubles were not solved yet. It would be better to say that he had fallen into a bigger trouble.

With his teeth chattering, Okubo forced himself to remain calm as he drove the car to a car dismantling yard in the suburbs, where another dilapidated van was already parked.

As a "trouble solver" who specializes in helping people solve their problems, he has many ways to go, so he will also prepare some escape routes for himself.

There was no one outside the dismantling yard. Okubo parked his car next to the van, turned off the engine, left the keys in the car, then he switched directly to the van and drove away.

Okubo was the only one present during the whole process, but he knew that the car he had just replaced would soon be disposed of by the dismantling yard and turned into a pile of scrap metal, which no one would be able to find out. The people at the dismantling yard also didn't know who had just replaced the car, and they didn't need to know.

Okubo drove the broken van to a warehouse in the city, which was his other hiding place and no one could find him in a short time.

But even after doing so much, Okubo's heart was still pounding.

"Calm down... think carefully about your current situation!" Okubo's body was soaked in sweat. He sat in the car and turned on the old air conditioner of the broken car to the maximum. In the white cold air that was sprayed out, he forced himself to calm down.

"Should I go back?" Okubo thought with his eyes wide open: "Go back home and pretend that nothing happened. After all, no one saw me and Fuki Yin together... No, no, the First Saint... The First Saint has seen Fuki Yin. Even a fool knows that Fuki Yin must have had the help of an insider to find him. Otherwise, his identity would not have been exposed. Maybe now, the church has already started investigating..."

His intuition was very accurate, and almost the next second, his cell phone vibrated.

Okubo picked up the phone with fear and took a look. It was... another high-ranking person in the church calling. He had been suspected!

"Do you want to answer it?" Okubo's mind was a little confused. He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, took out another mobile phone, started playing a piece of noisy music he had prepared in advance, and then answered the call.

Okubo took a deep breath, and in the midst of the loud music, he took the initiative and shouted in a drunken voice, "Who... who is calling at this time?"

"Okubo, aren't you home?" The other party's first sentence made his blood freeze.

"Huh? What the hell?" Okubo yelled incoherently, "I'm drinking in the store, drinking! Do you want to come? I'll find you a pretty girl! Hiccup~"

"You're really noisy over there... Fumu Yin has been found." The other end asked, "Did you know?"

Da Jiu slowly lowered the volume of the music, pretended to be in a deserted place, and acted dumbfounded and said, "Ah...ah? Oh, you mean the lunatic who attacked us? Hiccup~ Has he been found? Where was he found? Do you need me to call for help? I heard he had a samurai sword in his hand, right?"

The other end said, "No need, he's already dead. But... you're really carefree. You dare to go drinking when you know there's a killer wandering around outside? Aren't you afraid of death?"

“Hahahaha~” Okubo laughed wildly, “Do you think the people in my shop are vegetarians? I was in the private room, how could he break in with a knife? Since he’s already dead, don’t disturb me while I’m drinking. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say.”

"It's not that nothing happened..." The other one said sinisterly, "I heard that the reason why the madman was able to hide for so long this time was because someone betrayed us. The Second Saint has already ordered all of us saints to meet tomorrow." "Where is the location?" Okubo pretended to be dizzy and asked, "Should I arrange the venue?"

"You should have a good rest." The other end said, "The Patriarch has made other arrangements. He will inform you of the specific location tomorrow. You must come, Okubo."

"I know~" Okubo said impatiently, "I will go, it's really troublesome... I have to discuss business with someone tomorrow."

He hung up the phone directly, but at this time, his palms were full of cold sweat.

"It will be exposed!" Okubo's face twisted, "It will definitely be exposed! I can't go! That priest will kill me!"

He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a flash of resentment in the doctor's eyes.

If he just went like this, those saints with special powers would definitely notice something strange about him.

"Should I run away?" Okubo held his head and thought, "Abandon the business I have run for many years and just run away? Should I do this?"

He had the ability to flee to the countryside or overseas, but the price of doing so would be that all his assets and connections would disappear, which he could not accept.

Okubo thought desperately, "This won't do... It would be more painful for me to hide my identity and live a lowly life than to kill me! Besides... There is this vengeful spirit behind me, created by Fushigi Yin! It may kill me at any time! I have to solve this matter, so..."

At this moment, Okubo figured it out, leaned back in his chair, and said to himself: "Right! That's it! I can still find an exorcist! The exorcists that even the founder is afraid of! They can help me get rid of this thing on my body! I can explain it to them clearly! I didn't kill Fushigi Yin! As long as I join the exorcists, join the exorcist alliance, and bring down the Church of Hope, I still have a chance!"

Just when Okubo had made up his mind to take a gamble and join the exorcist, he saw the samurai sword thrown on the back seat. Under the light inside the car, the samurai sword was stained with blood, and the bloodstains reflected a gorgeous light, like pieces of blood-colored cherry blossoms.

At this moment, Okubo saw a pair of eyes on the blade, a pair of very familiar eyes.

"Absolutely... don't go!"

Fuki Yin's voice said in his ear.

"Eh?" Okubo opened his mouth slightly. Was he... hallucinating just now?
He picked up the knife on the back seat as if possessed by a ghost, looked at it carefully, and then... he saw those eyes again, looking at him.

"Ah!" Okubo screamed and wanted to drop the knife, but his hands suddenly became out of control and he held the handle of the knife tightly without letting go.

Okubo subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror. The doctor's ghost was grabbing his hand, preventing him from throwing away the knife.

"Fushigi Yin! He is still controlling the vengeful spirit!" Okubo thought in despair.

Okubo looked at the blade that was so close to him, and Fushigi's vague voice rang in his ears again:

"I can't believe...the Exorcist Alliance."
