The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 834 The Beginning of the War (13)

"Of course we will win in the end." An exorcist raised his doubts: "I have no doubt about this fact, but, Lord Ashiya, what should we do specifically? The previous actions of the alliance have proved that the founder of the Church of Hope will not take risks on himself. Even if all his saints die, he can still continue to create a batch of new saints. Does this mean that we already have information about his whereabouts?"

"There is one more point that everyone is most concerned about." This time, Gui Teng Longguang did not remain silent. For his own safety, he asked directly: "Even if we use the methods of exorcists to get rid of Amahara Mari, will those believers go crazy and resort to suicide attacks in retaliation? If we don't figure this out, everyone will not let go of their worries."

Everyone present nodded repeatedly, and the buzz of discussion sounded again.

They all said that they, the exorcists, were not afraid of the enemies of Hope Cult in their own field. However, as Kidou Ryuko said, how to completely put an end to the crazy revenge of the cultists after defeating Amahara Mari was the issue that everyone was most concerned about.

The suicide attacks a few days ago had already frightened them. Grenade attacks, truck attacks, shootings, many people would never encounter such things in their lives, but they all happened at the same time a few days ago. Even if Ashiya Yoshisuke could suppress it with his personal prestige, the morale of the exorcists would still collapse when the enemy showed this trend again.

Ashiya Kichisuke smiled and said, "I will answer these two questions one by one. First, regarding the location of Amahara Mari, to be frank, I don't know. It should be said that no one knows his exact location."

This made everyone present a little disappointed. They didn't know the location of the enemy leader, and if they continued to waste time like this, they would definitely lose.

"But..." Ashiya Yoshisuke changed the subject and said, "Thanks to the crusade of several powerful exorcists led by [Psychic Detective] Qian Xiaoyi a few days ago, we successfully dealt a heavy blow to the enemy and made them lose their composure. The desperate attack that night was proof of that. And it was precisely because of the action that day that the enemy moved out of the dark and into the light, and came to our door on their own."

"Delivering himself to our door?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

He said with a smile, "Although I don't know where Amahara Mari is now, according to the information I have obtained, the Church of Hope will make a big move in a month. They will hold the [Aquarius Festival] on Amahara Mari's birthday. At that time, believers of the Church of Hope from all over the country will gather at the foot of Mount Fuji. In the teachings of the Church of Hope, Mount Fuji is a sacred mountain, and at that time, Amahara Mari will also appear in the event."

"I see! So that's when we have to act?"

"But, Amahara Mari will definitely be heavily protected at that time. How can we assassinate him in public?"

"Is it a curse? But a curse can't be so easy to take effect, right? At least you have to be able to get close to the other person, right?"

"Could it be that they hired a gunman to assassinate me from a distance with a sniper rifle?"

Facing everyone's doubts, Ashiya Yoshisuke shook his head and said, "It is not appropriate to announce the specific plan now. All you need to know is that we will take action on the day when the other party holds the Aquarius Festival. For the detailed action plan, just wait for Guifuji's notification."

King Kong raised his fist excitedly: "As long as we know the target, it will be fine! Anyway, that day is the day of the decisive battle between us exorcists and the Church of Hope, right?"

"But..." Suzuna couldn't help asking, "Lord Ashiya, after we defeat Amahara Mari, you haven't told me how to prevent the revenge of those lunatics."

Everyone looked at Ashiya Yoshisuke eagerly.

Ashiya Jisuke still shook his head: "Although it is not convenient to tell you now, I can tell you clearly that we will not take crazy measures like the Church of Hope, such as assassination, hot weapons, etc. We will use the most exorcist methods to deal with him! This is what we do! Please believe me, as long as we can succeed, revenge actions like a few days ago will never happen again, and the Church of Hope will be completely defeated by us."

Seeing Ashiya Yoshisuke's assurance, Kidou Ryuko nodded: "I believe in Ashiya-sama."

Since Gui Teng Long Guang said so, naturally the others had no objection.

"Me too!" "Of course we believe what Lord Ashiya says."

"Forget it, don't think too much about it! Let's leave this kind of brain-twisting matter to the higher-ups. We just need to carry out our mission well."

"That's right! We are exorcists, those cultists are nothing to be afraid of!"

"Come on! As long as we kill Hope, the ghosts won't be a problem!"

The lights in the bar were turned back on, and Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "Now that the enemy has been identified, we are just waiting for the day of the decisive battle. After this battle, we exorcists will have unprecedented opportunities! I hope you can work together to fight against those enemies in the darkness."

Ashiya Jisuke raised his glass and said, "So, please enjoy yourself tonight. All the drinks today will be paid for by me!"

"Oh!"

"Long live Lord Ashiya!"

The bar erupted in cheers.

The general meeting was almost over. Some of the exorcists left directly, while others stayed to chat and drink with acquaintances. Maria and Mike also returned to the bar to provide service to everyone.

Yoshisuke Ashiya called Tachibana Mio and Nanajo Masato together, and they discussed in a corner how to unite the victims and other connections to attack the Hope Cult.

As an exorcist who also lost his spiritual powers that night, Yoshisuke Ashiya could only do his best in this regard.

Hoshiba Rang came to Inuyama Heita. Inuyama Heita and Suzuki were having a video conversation with Qian Xiaoyi at this time. Hoshiba Rang knew very well that in terms of combat, Qian Xiaoyi was the real commander-in-chief.

"You've come just in time." Qian Xiaoyi saw Xingchangrang through the camera: "Arrang, gather our people together. It's time to have a real meeting."

Xingba nodded, then left to inform others.

"A real meeting?" Inuyama Heita was a little confused: "Doesn't what happened just now count?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "That is just a mobilization. The personnel who will actually participate in the battle will mainly be you, especially you, Heitaro."

"Eh? Can I really do this?" Inuyama Heita hesitated.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't. After all, in my current state, I can't enter the ghost realm, so you can only rely on yourselves when the time comes."

"I understand." Inuyama Heita nodded solemnly.
