The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 856 The Beginning of the War (35)

"Officer Naoki, thank you so much this time! I will go back to the apartment first. If there is any situation, I will come here immediately."

Ryusei Sasaki finally dealt with the matter at the police station. He hurried out of the police station. At the street corner near the door, there were already a dozen hooligans with baseball bats and other weapons waiting for him. But this time he was not afraid, but walked over with dignity.

Because he called these people over.

"Mr. Sasaki." The leading gangster greeted him. "Why did you suddenly wake us up in the middle of the night? What's the matter?"

Sasaki Ryusei looked at the street not far away and found no enemy, so he said: "Thank you for troubling everyone in the Brave Association. I will definitely reward you handsomely later! Anyway, some people came to my apartment, and they seem to be gangsters, so I need your help. Now come back with me and be prepared for a conflict."

"Understood~" The leading gangster, holding a cigarette and a baseball bat, said with a smile: "Hehe~ Mr. Sasaki, it's just a fight. We are professionals in this field, so don't worry."

They walked towards the apartment in a mighty procession. At the corner, a social figure retracted his head and reported on the phone, "Sasaki is ready to go back."

On the other side of the apartment, the members of the Chuan Dao Society had been blocking the door waiting for the other party to arrive, just like a gang showing off their horses. As soon as Sasaki Ryusei arrived here, the thugs around him immediately rushed over and clashed with the Chuan Dao Society who were blocking the door.

"What are you doing? Why are you blocking someone's door? Get out of here! You bunch of scum."

"Huh? What's that tone of yours? Did you eat shit? Do you want to fight?"

"Asshole, do you think we dare not? What are you yelling about here in the middle of the night? You have no sense of public morality at all."

"You guys should scream louder, right? You bastards!"

As soon as they met, a conflict broke out between the two sides. At first there was shouting and cursing, then pushing and shoving, and then pulling and tugging, but no one went further to attack with the sticks in their hands. They were just pretending, not to mention using hot weapons such as pistols.

Both sides are restraining themselves and do not want to make a big deal out of it. On the Knife-Crossing Society's side, their boss is still in the apartment, while the other side does not want a bloody conflict to break out. If the situation really gets out of hand and a large number of police forces are attracted, the building will be searched by the police and neither side will be in a good situation.

So both sides tacitly kept the conflict outside the apartment building. Ryusei Sasaki had already changed clothes with a gangster and blended in with the crowd, waiting for the opportunity.

At this time, Ryusei Sasaki was extremely anxious. Now that the enemy had discovered this stronghold, he had to transfer the children in the building as soon as possible!

"I have to go in!" Ryusei Sasaki whispered to the gang leader next to him, "Give me a hand."

The gang leader understood what was meant and immediately rushed out with a loud voice, leading his men to attack their colleagues from the Sword Society.

At this time, Ryusei Sasaki mixed in with them, and under the cover of his companions, he successfully reached the inside of the yard, and then rushed into the apartment building in one go.

Then, Ryusei Sasaki simply closed and locked the door of the apartment to block out the noisy sounds outside. According to the plan, the people he called would direct the conflict far away. Even if the police were called, they would prioritize dealing with community conflicts rather than inside the apartment building.

Leaning against the door, Ryusei Sasaki breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he came in, he felt a cold breath irritating his back. Now it was dark inside and he couldn't see anything clearly. He came to the staircase with the help of the light of his mobile phone. The iron door was closed tightly, and a trail of blood spread from the staircase to the door.

Ryusei Sasaki tried to open the door of the guard room, but found it locked. The cold air continued to accumulate around him. The noisy sounds outside gradually faded away. It was as if he was the only one in the whole building. "What's going on in here? Uncle? Are you in there?"

There was no response from the guard room.

"Damn it!" He forced himself to calm down and think about the current situation and countermeasures.

"This feeling... is it a ghost realm?" He took a deep breath, feeling the strange aura around him: "The ghost realm has not been lifted, which means that those people are still fighting with my people in the building. There is blood on the ground, which means that someone has been injured. It is obviously done by the guards. The iron door has also been closed. I'm afraid it was done by Gao Si, in order to lock the enemy in. So, the situation is in my favor!"

He figured out the key point and calmed down immediately. The most urgent task now was to transfer those children. In order to achieve this goal, the ghost domain must be lifted, the little ghosts must be awakened, and then they must be allowed to follow. Otherwise, even if there were dozens of dead pigs, it would take them a long time to carry them.

"Anyway, we have to contact that guy Takadera first and find out the situation." Sasaki Ryusei muttered as he took out the key to the iron gate from his pocket. As the coach, he carried the key to the iron gate himself. Except for the spare key in the guard room, he was the only one who had it.

He opened the iron door, closed it, and headed upstairs in the darkness...

In the ghost realm, Terao Yu was running, and in the darkness behind him, a bald head was looming behind him.

"Only one was attracted? I hope Heitaro can deal with the remaining one..." The "Curse Book" in Terao Yu's hand was opened, and colorful and ugly smoke continued to spread from it, interfering with the vision of the guards and causing deviations in their teleportation every time.

"I don't know what happened to King Kong. It seems that an enemy chased him... No, now is not the time to think about this!" Terao Yu quickly flipped through the "Curse Book": "Just now, that Gaosi Xian has said that these guards have been brainwashed and their own thoughts have been suppressed, so they can appear in the spirit world and reality at the same time... Wait! In this case, doesn't it mean that the spirit world is just a space imagined by humans, and at the same time, our real bodies are still in reality?"

Terao Yu, who came up with this idea on his own, broke out in a cold sweat, but after getting the "Curse Book", he had actually been mentally prepared, but he just didn't think about it carefully until now to confirm this.

"What am I thinking about!" Terao Yu shook his head: "Anyway, maybe I can break this state by stimulating their thinking! Time, I need time! If there is enough time... No, this idea is too idealistic. I am afraid that only after a lot of experiments can we find a way to get rid of their state. Now it is obviously impossible. Moreover, if my original body exists in reality, it means that I will be forced into a dead end by this guy sooner or later. Damn it, is this the end?"

Just when Terao Yu was about to despair, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the front.

Another bald man flew out from the darkness and landed in front of Terao Yu, forcing him to stop.

"This is..." Judging from the way the bald man fell to the ground, he probably didn't do it voluntarily. Terao Yu looked forward in disbelief and asked, "King Kong? Is that you?"

He didn't notice that the guard who had been chasing him had quietly appeared behind him, raised the fire axe in his hand with a smile, and was about to chop down.

"Be careful behind you!" Zhang Chunfa stepped out from the darkness and swung the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand upwards with all his might to block the attack for Terao Yu. The two weapons collided with a loud noise, which made Terao Yu break out in a cold sweat.

"Handsome boy, stop looking and run." Zhang Chunfa turned to Terao Yu and said. The ghost tattoo on his back had completely faded away with sweat. The long-forgotten Guan Erye now had his eyes wide open and looked lifelike.
