The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 853 The Beginning of the War (32)

"But Mr. Zhang." Suzuki wanted to stop him. She calmly deduced: "Even King Kong was injured like this, which means there are enemies in the ghost realm who can harm the real body of the psychic. Inuyama and others are also very powerful in the ghost realm. Even if you join, I'm afraid it won't be of any help..."

"I don't understand what you are talking about. I am not a ghost exorcist like you. Come on, I am an adult, and it is not your turn as a high school girl to speak." Zhang Chunfa ignored Suzuki's dissuasion and made a firm conclusion: "I will go with you, it's settled!"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhang, I'll call Brother Yi..." Suzuki sighed. Since he couldn't persuade the other party, he could only tell Qian Xiaoyi about his current situation.

Of course Zhang Chunfa would not object. When encountering an emergency, one must consult an expert. It would be a fool's action to rush in without knowing anything. In fact, even if Suzuki did not mention this matter, he would have told Qian Xiaoyi before going in.

"What? King Kong is injured?" After hearing this, Qian Xiaoyi immediately reacted: "Was he injured in real life? I roughly know what the situation is. You handled it in time. Fortunately, King Kong is fine, otherwise..."

Suzuki heard a sense of self-blame in Qian Xiaoyi's tone, and she said, "Brother Yi, this is not just your problem. Everyone here, including me, has made up our minds, so please trust us."

Qian Xiaoyi sighed and said, "Really... I'm so sorry that I had to be comforted by a high school girl, but this is all I can do now. Tell me more about what's going on inside."

Suzuki said: "I don't know the details. King Kong's mental state is not very clear, and he didn't tell us too much. But now Inuyama and the others are still in the building, and there is no other exit here, so they are probably heading upstairs to divert the enemy so that King Kong can escape smoothly. So they should be waiting for my rescue, but Mr. Zhang said he wants to go in with me..."

"He's nearby, right?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "Let him go with you. I'm too far away from you. It will be too late if we send someone over from here. Although Brother Zhang is not an exorcist, he has experience in dealing with these things. You don't have to worry about him. He will take care of himself."

"Since you said so, Brother O..." Suzuki nodded: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chunfa seemed very proud.

"See? I told you Xiao Yi would agree. Let's go and save them." Zhang Chunfa led the way into the building. He turned around and said, "Little girl, follow me. Don't get lost. Although I don't understand ghost realms and auras, Xiao Yi has told me how important you are. Anyway, I will protect you."

Suzuki nodded. With a reliable adult around, even she would feel at ease. After all, she was just a high school student. So she followed Zhang Chunfa in.

On the first floor, because there was no electricity, Zhang Chunfa took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight for lighting. He found the guard room at the back, pushed it hard, and frowned and asked, "Is it locked?"

Then, he wanted to use his pistol to break the door lock and force his way in. His idea was that since the ghost domain was so troublesome and it was created by his exorcist, wouldn't it be better to just have someone remove the ghost domain?
"Wait! Mr. Zhang!" Suzuki said, "Inuyama-san and the others are still in the ghost domain. The ghost domain is created by utilizing the aura of the entire environment. This alone cannot eliminate the entire ghost domain. Moreover, Ms. Miwa is the person responsible for maintaining the entrance and exit of the ghost domain. If the entrance and exit disappear, Inuyama-san and the others will still be aware of being in the ghost domain, which may put them in a more difficult situation."

"Is that so? All right." Zhang Chunfa nodded: "Then let's go upstairs directly. Tsk, I feel a little chilly as soon as I come in."

In the cold corridor, goose bumps appeared on his skin and his scalp felt numb. This long-lost feeling reminded him of the scene when he "changed his fate" in Hong Kong. At that time, under the guidance of Taoist Jingde and Taoist Lingkong, he went to various strange places to perform rituals. If he was not careful, he would be doomed, which was similar to the current situation.

However, this feeling did not make him afraid. Instead, it aroused his long-lost competitive spirit, and the impulse of his youth reappeared in his heart.

"It's nothing but a ghost!" Zhang Chun sneered: "I don't know how many times I encountered this when I was young! It's just a small scene. Let's go upstairs." He held a gun in his hand and walked upstairs with Suzuki. There was an obvious bloody footprint on the ground. It was the mark left by King Kong before. Now under the light of the flashlight, this series of bloody footprints looked particularly abrupt on the floor, adding a touch of horror to the scene in front of them.

Suzuki stared at Zhang Chunfa silently from behind. She didn't dare to walk to the front, otherwise when she looked back, she would probably find that the person was gone.

But if she was in front at this time, she would find that Zhang Chunfa's eyes had slowly lost focus, and he was just walking forward with an expressionless face.

"Strange, is this building that big?" Zhang Chunfa asked himself.

Behind him, Suzuki remained silent. Zhang Chunfa turned around and made sure that Suzuki was still following him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhang Chunfa asked, "Did you also take this long to come down last time?"

Suzuki looked at him calmly, which made Zhang Chunfa a little nervous: "What's wrong with you?"

But his question meant something different to Suzuki.

In Suzuki's field of vision, Zhang Chunfa suddenly turned his head and looked at Suzuki with strange eyes without saying a word. Suzuki got goose bumps all over her body because she found that Zhang Chunfa's eyes were rolled back, and he was obviously in a strange state.

"Mr. Zhang?!" Suzuki asked tentatively.

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Chunfa seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something. He started running forward and disappeared in the corridor, leaving Suzuki alone.

"I knew it..." Suzuki covered his face, sighed, and thought to himself: "Even if there is an objective observer like me next to him, at most I can prevent the psychic from finding the entrance to the ghost domain and entering. But if the psychic is already within the range of the ghost domain's aura, even I can't stop them from falling. After all, I'm not like Brother Yi, who can interfere with others with his own cognition. I can only control my own cognition."

Although he had figured out the key point, Zhang Chunfa suddenly went crazy and left her behind, which made his previous bold words seem a little ridiculous. From then on, Suzuki had to save one more person.

"As expected, I still have to rely on myself..." Suzuki patted his face to cheer himself up, and at the same time made himself more clear-headed, maintaining a clear cognition, so as not to be swallowed by fear. After all, once he was overwhelmed by fear...

She also has her limits. She is not some bloodless and tearless robot. In this strange aura, if she cannot save others before her sanity is exhausted, then she may become like those psychics, trapped in the ghost realm and unable to extricate herself.

At this point, Suzuki sorted out the items in her bag, made sure everything was there, and then she resolutely followed the bloody footprints and headed upstairs.
