The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 736: The Narrow Gate (7)

Even Shichijo Masato noticed the changes in Inuyama Heita. He and Ajian had been expecting Qian Xiaoyi to teach Inuyama Heita a lesson. It was not just for fun, but a big part of the reason was that something was really wrong with Inuyama Heita during this period, so they hoped that Qian Xiaoyi could give him a "personality correction punch" to make Inuyama Heita wake up.

Instead of really wanting Inuyama Heita to get beaten.

Nanajo Masato quickly said to Hoshiba, "Mr. Hoshiba, Heitaro looks a little bit bad. Why don't you go up and intervene?"

Xingchang Rang waved his hand: "It's not that serious yet. The real out-of-control rampage will not be able to maintain human form like it is now. Don't worry, I have absolute confidence in my dojo. Even if it really comes to that, I can seal it back!"

Seeing Hoshiba's extremely confident look, Nanajo Masato and Ajian could only hold back.

"But..." Xingchang Rang looked towards Qian Xiaoyi silently, thinking: "Do we really have to go this far? Once Heitaro completely loses control, it may have serious consequences on his mind... I don't know what you think."

In the center of the field, Inuyama Heita was completely overwhelmed by negative emotions such as anger and despair, and the only person in his field of vision was Mr. Sato, who had betrayed him.

Countless black lines emerged from his body and pounced on Mr. Sato, but the other party just smiled calmly and sank directly into the black water remaining on the ground.

At this time, Inuyama Heita realized that there was still a lot of black water he spit out, which represented the power of the human-faced dog, remaining on the ground, and MR Sato could actually use these things!

"Just like you have been giving me rude orders, now I also have my own subordinates." said Mr. Sato's voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black water on the ground began to boil, and dogs with office worker faces kept crawling out from the black water. They hung their tongues and breathed like dogs.

"Woof woof! Section Chief, you bastard!"

"Don't stay in the company anymore, get off work as soon as possible!"

"You bastard section chief, you made me take the blame and get scolded by the director again!"

"Cross my name off the layoff list!"

Those human-faced dogs were not able to think independently like the office animals summoned by Inuyama Heita. Instead, they were more like wild beasts with only some simple thoughts. They surrounded Inuyama Heita like a pack of wolves, staring at him with eager eyes, ready to bite him at any time.

"Inuyama, you are totally unqualified as a company employee. You don't even know how to use your subordinates."

Mr. Sato's voice came from not far behind Inuyama Heita. He turned around quickly and saw Mr. Sato sitting there, on the back of a human-faced dog. He stroked the dog's head and said, "As a boss, you can't just ask your subordinates to do things you don't want to do. That will only lose their hearts. Even if you use them as objects deep down, you have to take good care of them to prevent them from breaking down at the critical moment, right?"

"Go to hell!" Inuyama Heita ignored him completely and directly activated the black lines to launch an attack.

"MR. Sato! Danger!" A human-faced dog jumped high and stood in front of MR. Sato, blocking the attack for him.

More human-faced dogs took advantage of this opportunity to pounce on Inuyama Heita and opened their mouths to bite him.

Inuyama Heita was caught off guard and was surrounded by these human-faced dogs.

"Horrible..." Ken murmured, "Even though Inuyama spent so much effort to summon only two company slaves, this Mr. Sato was able to summon so many at once... These were not even summoned by President Qian."

Xingchang explained: "It can't be calculated that way. Although Xiaoyi is indeed much stronger than Heitaro, it doesn't mean that whoever is stronger can summon more of those human-faced dogs... Heitaro split his cognition to create two office slave clones, and then used himself to control the behavior of the office slaves. That was very laborious. Qian Xiaoyi did something different. He directly decentralized the power and gave the human-faced dog more control."

Nanajo Masato was confused: "I don't understand."

Hoshiba Rang said: "Let's put it this way, Heitaro used his own cognition to control the power borrowed from the urban legend, while Qian Xiaoyi directly contributed sacrifices and summoned the urban legend itself, and those sacrifices still used Heitaro's power, and he himself did not suffer any loss. Therefore, the essence of the two is different. It's just that making the summoned urban legend controllable is also an art. Qian Xiaoyi is now using this duel to teach Heitaro some advanced techniques, but... Heitaro now seems to be unable to listen." Nanajo Masato widened his eyes: "So urban legends are real? What does cognition... mean?"

Xingchang turned around and looked at Qijiao Zhengren in surprise: "Didn't Qian Xiaoyi tell you?"

Seeing Nanajo Masato's confused look, Hoshiba Rang was also a little confused. Did Nanajo Masato not understand cognitive theory at all? Did he let something slip just now?

But soon he figured it out. Since Qian Xiaoyi brought him here to watch the game, it showed that Qian Xiaoyi wanted to let him know the cognitive theory. It's just like himself in the beginning. It requires a step-by-step process for him to understand it by himself.

But since he had already let it slip, it didn't seem like a big deal. After all, Nanajo Masato wasn't an experienced psychic, and he didn't have that much common sense to break down.

"Come on, brother Nanajo." Xingchang put his arm around Nanajo Masato's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let me tell you about a theory called 'epistemology'..."

On the field, the human-faced dogs were pierced by the black lines that erupted from Inuyama Heita. They struggled but did not die. They even slowly merged with these black lines and penetrated back into Inuyama Heita's body, accelerating the collapse of Inuyama Heita's mentality.

At this time, Inuyama Heita's form had begun to resemble the "monster" Hayafune Chizuru that Qian Xiaoyi had seen that time. His figure began to flicker as if the signal was bad, the aura around him began to distort, and the black lines around him became more and more violent.

But Qian Xiaoyi noticed that there was a fundamental difference between Inuyama Heita's attitude and that of Hayafune Chizuru, that is, as Inuyama Heita's mind collapsed, he became more and more manic and less like a human being. While Hayafune Chizuru maintained her human form, her aura became colder and more indifferent, and her rationality was not affected.

Qian Xiaoyi fell into deep thought: "Chizuru Hayafune's appearance should be the ultimate form of this power? Because only she can fully control this power, so she is the saint, and the others are only worthy of being called [Saints]."

While he was still thinking, something changed on the field again.

Inuyama Heita finally could no longer control his reason and cognition. He looked up to the sky and opened his mouth, letting out a silent roar, or perhaps a scream. Countless black lines burst out from his body, destroying everything around him. Then, those lines wrapped up Inuyama Heita, forming a huge black cocoon that was beating regularly like a heart.

"What happened!" Nanajo Masato turned around suddenly and saw the changes on the field.

Ajian said tremblingly: "This thing... is the same as what the Inuyama clan became after being attacked by that saint... No, it's even more terrifying, as if..."

It was as if a more terrifying monster was being bred inside, and once it was born, it would destroy everything it saw. This was how Jian felt.

"Should we seal it?" Xingchang Rang asked, "He's obviously unable to hold on any longer."

"No, now is the key." Qian Xiaoyi finally finished his rest and came to the cocoon with a step. As soon as he approached, he was attacked by the black lines on the cocoon.

"President!" Mr. Sato rushed over, grabbed the black lines, and said, "Leave this to me. I will open an entrance for you!"

"Thank you, Sato." Qian Xiaoyi said.

MR Sato withstood the attack of the lines, walked forward with difficulty, then stretched out his hands and pried open a hole, revealing complete darkness inside.

"Now is the time, President!" said Mr. Sato.

Qian Xiaoyi took a step forward and appeared at the entrance in an instant. He looked at the dark entrance and murmured, "Let me take a peek into your inner world, Heitaro."

Then he got in.
