The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 740: The Narrow Gate (11)

In the center of the dojo, the giant cocoon that had been beating like a heart for a long time suddenly twisted irregularly, as if some fierce fight was going on inside. Xing Changrang on the sidelines walked forward, stroking the stubble on his chin, and looked at the thing carefully.

Then, his expression changed, and he stepped back, summoning the black mud in his body at the same time, and said in a serious tone: "It's coming out!"

Pop! The giant cocoon was like a balloon, bursting from the inside.

Qian Xiaoyi held a cigarette in his mouth and pressed his knees on the back of a black unknown human figure. He shouted to Xingchangrang: "Prepare to seal!"

"Understood." Xingchang Rang put his hands on the ground without saying a word. A strange spell instantly appeared on the ground. This spell emitted light and activated other talismans in the room directly. The talisman papers on the walls of the room moved automatically without wind, flew to the center of the venue, and kept sticking to the black human figure.

"How did it become like this!" Xingchang Rang complained, "I thought you had a way to deal with these cognitions?"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "I was negligent. These cognitions have long been a part of Heitaro. Forcibly exorcising them will only hurt him. This kid, on the surface, is a fool, but he is unexpectedly stubborn."

“Ahhhhhhh!!!” The black figure let out a fierce roar, as if he didn’t want to be sealed like this.

Even the half-baked psychic Shichijo Masato standing nearby could feel the huge resentment coming from this voice.

"What on earth did Heitaro...experience?" Nanajo Masato was stunned.

Ken said solemnly, "That is the hatred engraved in Inuyama Heita's bones. He hates certain things from the bottom of his heart. Usually he tries to forget those things deep in his heart, but once they are triggered and he recalls them, he will be infected by the emotion... Nanajo clan, let's go and help too."

Nanajo Masato asked, "Help? How?"

"Just like last time, help the Inuyama family share the despair." Ajian said.

"it is good."

Ajian and Shichijo Masato braved the black storm and came to Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita. Seeing that Qian Xiaoyi did not stop them, they put their hands on Inuyama Heita.

"So... so cold, so sad, makes me want to die." Shichijo Masato grinned.

"Ohhhhhh!" Takeru yelled, "Masaki-chan!!!"

As the pressure of those emotions was shared, Inuyama Heita's shouts gradually became weaker until he was drowned by the talismans.

Xingchang made a hand gesture and shouted, "Release!"

In a flash, the dojo returned to its original state, the lights on the ceiling stopped flickering, and Inuyama Heita was lying in front of them, seemingly asleep.

"Huh~ He really can't be underestimated." Xingchang let out a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect that the ordinary-looking Heitaro could actually burst out with such a strong resentment. If he was completely swallowed by this resentment, he would probably die directly and become a super powerful evil spirit... So, what did you see in there?"

He turned and looked at Qian Xiaoyi.

Qian Xiaoyi placed the cigarette in his mouth upright on the ground, emitting a reassuring aroma. Qian Xiaoyi sat down, looking a little tired. He shook his head and said, "I saw what happened to this guy when he was a child. It was all cult stuff, instilling despair in children, and making human weapons and other cliché plots."

Xingchang Rang snorted coldly: "These bastards are truly unforgivable!"

"Well, I have a question." Nanajo Masato raised his hand and asked, "If this power is so dangerous, why not remove all the power in Heitaro's body? In that case, will he return to normal?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "This method is indeed very effective, but it is too rough. It is like performing a frontal lobotomy on a person with a bad temper. He will be quieter, but he will not be complete anymore."

Nanajo Masato immediately understood Qian Xiaoyi's simple and easy-to-understand statement, and suddenly realized: "In other words, even those resentments that seem to be particularly harmful are also part of Heitaro himself?"

Hoshiba said, "That's right. Humans are complex and contradictory creatures. Those experiences are an important part of Heitaro's personality. If you forcibly remove those things, it would be the same as turning him into a useless person. The reason why Heitaro is who he is now has a lot to do with his past experiences."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "After experiencing those things, Heitaro thought he would gradually forget them, so he usually tried not to recall them. But how could he easily forget that feeling? Once he encountered some corresponding stimulation, he would slowly recall that unforgettable hatred. This is his current situation. He is under stress, so his behavior has become extreme."

After the explanation from Hoshiba Ryou and Qian Xiaoyi, Shichijo Masato also understood the current situation of Inuyama Heita.

"So what should we do next?" Shichijo Masato asked, "If that's the case, then even if we seal it now, when we meet those who want to teach it again, he will recall that feeling and become extreme again, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the soundly sleeping Inuyama Heita and said, "No one else can help him untie the knot in his heart. Only when he has figured it out and his mind is clear, can the matter be considered over. We, the people around him, can only help him up to this point at best."

Hoshiba nodded. "As for whether he will choose to perish with his enemies in hatred, self-destruct, or break away from the past, or take another path, it all depends on him."

After temporarily dealing with Inuyama Heita's issue, Xingba Rang and Qian Xiaoyi let him sleep soundly beside them, and they began to discuss serious matters.

"How is it, did you gain anything?" Hoshiba asked, "How to deal with that [monster] woman? After the experiment on Heitaro, you should have a conclusion, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "The only option is to start a war."

"War?" Xing Changran frowned: "You mean..."

Qian Xiaoyi said, "In Heitaro's memory, I discovered how they created the Saints and Saints, and I also understood the nature of those people. The reason why they are so difficult to deal with is that they look like one person, but in fact they are containers for the cognition of countless fanatics. Especially the Saint. Facing her is like facing an army of tens of thousands of people."

Xingchang Rang was surprised and asked, "Is it really possible? For one person to bear the despair and resentment of so many people?"

"I also find it incredible, but... remember the big raccoon we faced?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "It can't be killed no matter how hard we try, because it has the support of those big figures in reality. The enemy we are facing now is in this situation. To defeat them, we must..."

"... destroy the faith of tens of thousands of believers." Xingchang looked embarrassed: "This... is totally impossible, right?"

The two men fell into deep thought. Killing was easy as the human body was so fragile that a homemade junk firearm, a dagger, or even a stone could do the job. But even if a great patriarch was killed, as long as the sect still existed, there would always be new successors to fill the hole.

In that case, nothing can be changed.
