The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 752: The Narrow Gate (23)

Everyone began to move cautiously in that direction, and paid careful attention to the surrounding situation to prevent sneak attacks. Although the surrounding environment was clear at a glance and there was nothing, there was no telling what insidious means the enemy might use.
Fushiki Yin, who possessed Okubo's body, also followed the crowd with a knife in his hand, like a walking corpse, and was taciturn. It seemed that just as Qian Xiaoyi said, he was now just a remnant soul with some obsessions, and would only react to certain things. When asked what happened here, he couldn't say. Perhaps only when the priest appeared would he become alive again.

"By the way, you planned this event a long time ago, right?" Xing Changrang suddenly said, "You guessed that the priest has a way to limit our abilities, so you chose us?"

All the people who came to the church today were contacted by Qian Xiaoyi, including Liuliyuan Hongming. When Qian Xiaoyi heard from Xingchang that Liuliyuan Hongming and Father Kamino were good friends, he went to Mingguang Temple, talked with Liuliyuan Hongming, and then invited him to go together to persuade the priest to come out of retirement and join the alliance. That's why Liuliyuan Hongming came.

Now, Liuliyuan Hongming had never expected such a thing to happen. He glanced at Qian Xiaoyi from time to time, and it seemed that he had a lot of questions to ask, but was hesitant to speak.

After hearing what Xing Changrang said, Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Oh? Did you see that?"

"Nonsense, it's so obvious." Xingchang Rang said, "Kongo and Mr. Liuliyuan are both exorcists who specialize in their own training. They can resist the suppression of this field. I am the same as you... the same type, and I can find other ways to deal with him. In addition, Heitaro is the bait used to deceive the priest. It is a completely targeted lineup... But how do you know that the priest can suppress the abilities of others?"

Qian Xiaoyi looked back at Fuki Inari and explained, "From the moment Fuki Inari died, I considered the priest who found Fuki Inari's body as my first suspect. I am a foreigner and have not been in Japan for a long time, so I do not have the trust you locals have in him. Based on this, I only need to use him as an imaginary enemy and work backwards to figure out how Fuki Inari died."

Xingba Rang sighed and said, "I see. So you are not sure whether the priest is an enemy or not. You are just bluffing tonight. Anyway, there is no loss if you are wrong... And Fumu is also a very strong exorcist. You guessed that he could only choose the extreme method of suicide to convey the message because he was defeated too quickly. Unless the enemy's strength is far beyond his, it is only when his own ability is weakened."

"But... aren't you going to tell me about the Slit-Mouth Woman?" Xing Changrang teased, "Master Liuliyuan is getting impatient. If this continues, maybe the next time you use the power of the Slit-Mouth Woman, he will turn around and attack you."

"I didn't..." Liuliyuan Hongming's face turned red. He did care about this matter, but he was not that crazy, right?

"I can only say that I can't explain it clearly here." Qian Xiaoyi replied: "And I feel that what happened nineteen years ago may be related to this incident. I will explain it to you later."

Xingchang Rang and Liuliyuan Hongming's faces changed. They were all relatives of those exorcists who died that year.

"Are you serious?!" Xingchang was surprised.

Liuliyuan Hongming finally calmed down this time and said seriously: "I understand. I will wait for your explanation after resolving the current situation."

"Brother Yi, there is something in front!" Inuyama Heita suddenly said.

"Huh?" Qian Xiaoyi was stunned and looked at the compass. After several seconds after Inuyama Heita said this, the compass reacted. Qian Xiaoyi said, "Heitaro is right. Everyone, get ready. Maybe the enemy is about to attack."

He was a little curious about what was in front. This time, because they were dealing with a priest, he didn't dare to let Ken come, for fear that the enemy would accidentally send that guy to heaven. However, even without Ken, Inuyama Heita could still feel it, which was very interesting.

"I saw it too!" King Kong took a vigilant stance and said, "There seems to be a figure ahead!"

Even King Kong felt it, and of course the others had already seen it. When they walked in, they found that they were actually some ordinary-looking people, walking aimlessly on this white land in scattered places, as if they were spreading out, with gentle smiles on their faces. When they saw Qian Xiaoyi and the others approaching, one of the aunties nodded to them in a friendly manner: "Newcomers, welcome to the other side of eternity."

"The other side of eternity..." Everyone's face darkened after hearing this word.

They all knew that this thing was used by the Hope Church to deceive believers.

The one who was most heartbroken was Ruriin Hiroaki. Before, he still had a glimmer of hope for Father Kamino and hoped that this was just a misunderstanding, but now, the relationship between the priest and the Church of Hope has almost been completely confirmed.

"Something's wrong, these guys don't look like real undead..." Xingchang Rang said, touching his chin. Everyone kept a distance from those people, fearing that they would launch some strange attacks.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Heitaro, go and try it out."

"Eh? Me? Let me go?!" Inuyama Heita pointed at his nose, very surprised, but when he saw Qian Xiaoyi's expression as if he was looking at a fool, Inuyama Heita suddenly thought of something.

"I understand..." Inuyama Heita took out a dark red human-faced dog tie with some embarrassment, and a suit appeared on his body. Then he waved his hand on the ground, and a pool of foul-smelling mucus spread out. This ball of black mucus slowly turned into the appearance of a middle-aged office worker.

"Yes, Chief! I am your favorite subordinate, Oda! I am very happy to serve you!" shouted the middle-aged office worker.

King Kong was a little disgusted: "No matter how many times I see it, I feel that this ability is very weird..."

"I can't do anything about it!" Inuyama Heita said in despair: "Oda, go ask that auntie where this place is."

"For the company!" Xiaotian bowed and ran to the aunt and asked, "Auntie, where is this place? If we want to go out, which way should we go?"

"Exit? Why do we need to go to that kind of place? Isn't it good here?" The auntie smiled and took Xiaotian's hand, saying: "This is the other side of hope for eternal happiness. There is no despair, no pain. Why should we go out? Stay, stay here..."

"Ah, she touched Xiaotian's hand." King Kong said with some disgust: "Something disgusting should happen next...Huh?! How could this happen!"

Just when King Kong thought that the old lady would be possessed and merged by Oda's disgusting ability, he didn't expect that the unexpected happened to Oda instead.

"I...I don't want to work anymore!" Oda smiled happily. "You're right, this place is so beautiful. Work just makes me want to die...A world without work is really great..."

Oda melted.
