The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 858 The Beginning of the War (37)

The expected attack did not come. Inuyama Heita opened his swollen eyes, but found nothing in front of him, as if the Royal Guards had never existed.

The talisman guiding the way floated quietly in the air, emitting a warm light, which made him feel at ease.

"Huh... Is that Suzuki-san?" Inuyama Heita was completely relieved. To be honest, when he was executing this plan, he was always worried about what to do if Suzuki encountered danger. In that case, not only would Suzuki, the insurance, be ruined, but they would also lose hope because they had reached a dead end.

It can be said to be a last-ditch effort.

But now it seems that they succeeded, at least in the first stage.

Inuyama Heita wiped the blood that was blocking his vision. Just as he was about to sit down and take a breath, he felt the talisman emitting a warm light, as if it was wiping his wound, and the bleeding soon stopped.

"Thank you, Suzuki-san..." Inuyama Heita felt a little embarrassed. He must look very embarrassed now, and he didn't know whether his real body in reality could convey his gratitude.

Suzuna poked her head out from behind him: "Are you okay? Where are the enemies?"

"He must have been knocked down." Inuyama Heita was about to say something when he felt a pulling force from the talisman, as if it wanted them to go inside.

Inuyama Heita responded immediately: "Ms. Suzuna, Mr. Takuya, let's go a little further inside."

Now in reality, they are probably stuck at the entrance of the stairs and have to make room for the next companion or enemy to arrive.

"I hope Mr. Terao is okay..." Inuyama Heita thought, "We must create an opportunity for Suzuki-san to launch a one-on-one sneak attack. If the enemy comes in pairs, Suzuki-san will be in danger."

He did not follow the guidance of the talisman to go further away, but stood not far from the entrance. Once multiple enemies appeared, he was ready to pounce on them and create an opportunity for Suzuki. According to his speculation, those guards might be able to see the scenes in the ghost realm and reality at the same time, and he could not let Suzuki be discovered by them.

In reality, Suzuki felt that Inuyama Heita, who was being led behind him, suddenly stopped moving. Looking back, he saw that Inuyama Heita had just sat down cross-legged and could not be moved no matter how hard he tried. He muttered, "I'll just stay here as bait."

"Ah... what an idiot." Suzuki understood what Inuyama Heita meant and could only shake his head. He turned around and dragged away the electrocuted guard and hid him in the darkness. Then Suzuki wiped the sweat from his head and hid in the corner of the stairs, holding the stun gun nervously in his hand.

"Please. Not two people at a time..." Suzuki prayed.

Soon, footsteps were heard downstairs. Zhang Chunfa, supporting Terao Yu, stumbled up. At this time, Zhang Chunfa was covered in sweat and had a mop in his hand. Like everyone else, his eyes were rolled back and he looked very scary.

They walked past Suzuki without noticing her at all. This was natural. Even if they were not in the ghost realm but in reality, Suzuki's whereabouts would be difficult to detect in the pitch-black environment.

"Brother Zhang and Mr. Terao..." Suzuki's heart sank: "So... there are two enemies?"

Sure enough, two guards appeared behind them, holding weapons in their hands, and approaching the enemy in front of them calmly. Because they were brainwashed, they had no fear. They just smiled and raised their weapons, constantly attacking the people in front of them.

Zila! A piercing sound was heard, and the guard in the front looked back and saw that his companion had convulsed and fallen down in front of him, and in the corner, there was a petite girl holding an electric shock device.

Suzuki's hands were shaking. Even if there were two of them, she had to go. The first one to be killed was the guard holding the kitchen knife. Even if the remaining one was holding a wrench, it probably wouldn't be fatal if it hit someone...

perhaps.

“…Ahhh.” Seeing his companion fall before his eyes seemed to have irritated the guard. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by endless anger.

In the ghost realm, a roar came from the only remaining guard, and a huge amount of black lines burst out, he went crazy!
"What happened?" Zhang Chunfa and Terao Yu looked back and found that the two guards behind them had become one, and the remaining one was still running wild. The guard stared at the talisman floating in front of them and rushed over waving a wrench.

"Stop him! Mr. Zhang, Mr. Terao!" Inuyama Heita rushed past them: "His target is Suzuki-san! Let me deal with the [Despair] in him! We must stop him!"

Although they didn't know what was going on, when they saw Inuyama Heita here, Zhang Chunfa and Terao Iku chose to do as he said and followed Inuyama Heita to rush towards the enemy.

“Me too…” Takuya gritted his teeth, covered his stomach and followed. Suzuna stomped her feet and said, “Really? Just leave it to them, stupid Takuya!”

But seeing that everyone else had already taken action, Suzuna could only sigh, took out a military commander's Noh mask from her bag, put it on, and ran over to help.

In reality, Suzuki was surprised to see that everyone rushed over to hold the mad guard. Even if they couldn't use much strength, they would hold the other person's hands or feet to prevent him from moving forward. They were now like a strange conjoined twin, moving towards her with difficulty.

Among them, the ones who put in the greatest effort were Inuyama Heita and Zhang Chunfa. One of them locked the guard's neck with a mop stick, and the other held the guard's legs tightly to prevent him from attacking her.

"Come on, Suzuki-san!" Inuyama Heita shouted.

Suzuki was a little hesitant. In this state of contact, using the stun gun would likely cause harm to everyone who came into contact with the Royal Guards, but she understood that she could not care about all this now. The most important thing was to kill the Royal Guards first!
So she stepped forward and stabbed the guard's neck with the crackling electric shock device.

At this moment, everyone whose body touched the guards felt an electric shock, and their hands and feet unconsciously released their control over the guards.

This guard seemed to be crazy and did not fall down. He stared at Suzuki with bloodshot eyes and held the wrench high in his hand.

Seeing this, Suzuki gritted his teeth and increased the power of the electric shock. In just a moment, the guard's body stiffened and fell directly to the ground, with his limbs twitching continuously. It seems that even if the human body explodes, it still cannot exceed the objective physiological limit.

It was not until a foul smell came from the guy's lower body that Suzuki let go of the electric shock device in her hand. She sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

She looked at the three strange bald heads lying on the floor in the corridor, and the people stumbling around them, and then she opened her eyes wide as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"I...I did it? I defeated three enemies?!"
