The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 824 The Beginning of the War (3)

When he took out the utility knife, Hiruda's bloodshot eyes suddenly reacted.

"Do you recognize this utility knife? Terao Yu said, "Teacher Qian gave it to me."

"Wuwu..." Hiruda began to struggle. He seemed to have a special reaction to the three words "Teacher Qian". His eyes widened and he mumbled something incoherently. The terrifying aura emanating from his body even made Nanajo Masato and Terao Iku take a step back.

An ominous black aura erupted, dyeing the entire room gray.

"Don't worry." Terao Yu said, as if to Shichijo Masato, or as if to encourage himself, "It's just some scattered curses that have spilled over! Leave it to me."

He took out the "Curse Book" and said, "Hiruda! I have completely understood your curse! This level of attack can't do anything to me!"

The black curse aura was actually attracted by the book and was slowly sucked in, unable to hurt Terao Yu at all.

"If it was you in the past, you could still hurt me, but now..." Terao Yu asked, "Masato, are you okay?"

Although Nanajo Masato was trembling, he still said, "I'm fine, let's get started."

Terao Yu waved the utility knife in front of Hiruda: "Originally, there was a cursed spirit of yours in this utility knife. Unfortunately, Teacher Qian told me that a few months ago, the cursed spirit was purified and became a Buddha. But... besides the cursed spirit, there is actually a power left in it. You should know what I mean, right, Hiruda?"

The struggling Hiruda suddenly calmed down. He stared at Terao Iku coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Terao Yu opened a page of the "Curse Book" and said, "Coincidentally, the spell to awaken this power is in this book you wrote..."

Regardless of whether Hiruda was willing or not, Terao Iku recited a series of obscure spells from the "Curse Book" by himself. It sounded like some language similar to Japanese, but in fact it was not. As Terao Iku murmured, the temperature in the room began to drop, and Nanajo Masato actually exhaled a breath of white air, even though it was not that season yet.

"Are we going to enter the ghost realm?" Nanajo Masato felt a little distressed: "Even though I've experienced it so many times, I'm still not used to it..."

As Terao Yu murmured his spell, the rusty art knife began to react. It slowly rose into the air, then emitted a bright light, dispelling the darkness.

After a while, Nanajo Masato opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the ward, but in a park.

"Ghost realm..." Nanajo Masato saw that besides himself, Terao Iku and Hiruda also came here.

At this time, Hiruda had completely gotten rid of the restraints, and appeared in front of them with her original feminine image with long hair draped over her shoulders.

"Don't alarm him." Terao Yu held down Nanajo Masato and whispered in his ear, "Now is the most critical moment."

Hiruda didn't seem to notice them either. Nanajo Masato followed Hiruda's gaze and found that besides them, there was another person sitting on the park bench, a woman.

"That's..." Nanajo Masato didn't recognize her.

"Ms. Terao Keiko." Terao Yu's tone was a little sighing: "Hiruda's... mother."

Hiruda slowly walked to the bench and looked at Terao Keiko without saying a word.

Keiko Terao looked up in surprise and asked in surprise, "Xiao Cheng?"

"Why...why did you abandon me?" Hiruda asked with his head down.

"It's not like that, it's because of the curse..." Keiko Terao was a little anxious: "Blood can pass on the curse, I can only do this..."

"That's right, that's why grandpa kicked me out..." Nanajo Masato murmured not far away.

"Do you know what I've suffered?" Hiruda asked, "The great witch, who loves the world like the Virgin Mary, but doesn't care about her own son at all?"

Keiko Terao sighed deeply: "I... I didn't know what would happen after I left. I'm sorry, I thought your father would take good care of you..." "Don't mention that bastard anymore!" Hiruda sneered: "He's dead, just like you! My body is about to collapse because of those curses!"

He suddenly grabbed Keiko Terao's neck. Keiko Terao's expression was extremely painful, but it was not because of lack of oxygen, but because she failed to protect her son.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Terao Yu finally couldn't help it: "Do you want to destroy the last memory of your mother? This is your only chance for redemption!"

"Redemption?" Hiruda turned around and said, "There is no hope for me anymore. The curse has already broken out. The best I can do is regain my sanity and linger on for a few more years. That is not the ending I want!"

"Then what do you want?" asked Terao Yu.

"I want all of you to die! All of you to die!" Hiruda said viciously, "It's all because of this woman who abandoned me and died inexplicably! That's why I'm like this now. I want revenge! On Qian Xiaoyi, on all of you!"

Nanajo Masato stepped forward and asked, "In that case, then... do you want to take revenge on the person who killed Miss Keiko?"

"Who killed her?" Hiruda was a little surprised: "That wasn't the slit-mouthed woman..."

"No, someone else killed her." Nanajo Masato said, "The slit-mouthed woman is just a cover."

Hiruda let go of Terao Keiko and looked at Nanajo Masato: "Go on."

Qijio Zhengren took a deep breath and recounted what happened that year. Qian Xiaoyi had sent him several messages before that, explaining what happened very clearly. Even Qijio Zhengren was very surprised after reading it.

"...That's it. Now, the man who killed you is possessed by my grandfather." After a brief statement, Nanajo Masato said, "So I need you to do me a favor. This way, we can have hope of killing that man once and for all!"

"Why do you think I will help you?" Hiruda sneered.

Nanajo Masato said, "We can help you get revenge and kill the man who attacked Miss Keiko."

Hiruda glanced at Terao Keiko who was looking at him worriedly, and asked, "But you can see that I am just a fool who cannot control my own strength and even needs external help to temporarily regain my sanity. How can I help you?"

"You have the ability to absorb curses! We need you to bear the power of the curse and awaken someone!" Terao Yu said: "With the help of Miss Keiko, you can definitely withstand these curses!"

"Haha... I understand." Hiruda laughed wildly: "That sounds great! I didn't expect that I could accomplish such a great feat in the last moments of my life! Killing the leader of the Hundred Demons? That's exactly what I want!"

He stared at Terao Yu madly and said, "I understand what you mean, so come on! What are you waiting for?"

“Xiao Cheng, don’t…” Keiko Terao tried to dissuade him, but Hiruda turned around and yelled, “Shut up! Bitch! I don’t want to avenge you or anything… I just want…”

His eyes were gleaming with excitement: "-I want to pull down those guys who think they are so high and mighty and smash them to pieces! Hey, you can really kill that guy, right? If you dare to deceive me, I will curse you no matter where you escape to!"

"Of course!" said Shichijo Masato.

"Let's get started without further ado!" Terao Yu took out the curse book and looked at Nanajo Masato.

Patting his face, Nanajo Masato said, "Come on!"

……

On this night, fierce battles were taking place in some places, while strange curses were surging in other places.

In the intensive care unit of the Shichijo Family Private Hospital, a man who had been lying there for several years and was almost at the end of his life suddenly opened his eyes.
