The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 867: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (8)

A bus stopped by the side of the road, and Gui Teng Longguang led a group of exorcists out of the bus.

"What fresh air~" Terao Yu sniffed and looked towards the sea of ​​trees not far away: "But... this aura is also quite bad~"

What was originally a sunny forest in the suburbs, at this moment, in the eyes of the exorcists, was emitting a thick black aura that covered the sky and the sun.

"After all, it's here, the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees." Miha turned her head and looked to the other side. More than ten kilometers away, another dark cloud was slowly approaching, like a storm that was about to come. Soon, the two dark clouds would merge together, forming a large-scale [rainfall] that would drown everyone.

Excluding those scammers, the circle of real exorcists is actually not that big, so everyone always exchanges some information with each other on the forum, thus forming some basic common sense in the circle, such as the real haunted places in various parts of Japan.

Whenever there is a commission involving these places, exorcists will usually raise their prices, because they know that even if there are no ghosts in the commission, coming to these places is dangerous in itself and requires special treatment.

The Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees is one of those special places that is passed down by word of mouth among exorcists.

This sea of ​​trees is located at the foot of the northern part of Mount Fuji. It is originally a complex forest and is located on a volcanic vein. A large number of magnets make the magnetic field here chaotic. It is very common for people to mistakenly enter here and get lost and become "hidden". In addition to the wabi-sabi and intricate environment, some people choose this place as the preferred place for suicide to avoid being found.

A few decades ago, not many people chose to commit suicide here. It was not until the development of the media that this place gradually became famous and became the well-known "Suicide Forest".

Especially in the last 10 to 20 years, the police have been able to find hundreds of new bodies here every year. Everyone seems to have reached a consensus that if you want to commit suicide, you will come here. Aokigahara Forest is like a magnet, constantly attracting suicide seekers.

A national highway passed through the sea of ​​trees. Exorcists were now standing at the entrance of the road. Near the entrance, there were signs discouraging exorcists everywhere.

【Life is precious! 】

[The world is still beautiful, please don’t commit suicide! ]

【Think about your family! 】

Seeing these slogans, Terao Yu sneered. As an exorcist, he had also helped many clients with abnormal mental states. For those who really wanted to end their lives, these slogans would only add fuel to the flames and deepen their determination. Many people had such thoughts because they could not feel the beauty of the world, or the source of their pain was in their family.

——Who knows, seeing this kind of sign might make those people want to die even more.

"They don't care about these suicides at all," said Inuyama Heita. "They just think that their death here will cause trouble for everyone."

"Well said." Terao Yu gave a thumbs up.

Dong, Gui Teng Longguang paused his heavy Zen stick and said, "Let's go."

The exorcists followed Gui Teng Longguang into the road that passed through the sea of ​​trees.

Why don't they just drive the bus in...

"This kind of attire, he's an exorcist..."

"What is the Exorcist doing here?"

"These people are very suspicious. Are they here to cause trouble?"

In fact, on both sides of the parade route, there were always scattered believers walking towards the end of the parade. Because they could not get a good position next to the floats, they simply chose to speed up their pace, set off early, and wait for the arrival of the float team at the end.

The aura of this forest of trees just covered the entrance to the highway, which could easily affect the state of the exorcists. Once the bus entered the forest of trees and was attacked by the other side's psychics, causing the car to lose control, it would be terrible, so they simply stopped here and walked inside on foot.

"These people have bad intentions, we must report them to our superiors!"

Among these believers, there were many senior believers who knew a little about the dispute between the Church of Hope and the exorcists, so their hostile eyes were focused on the exorcists.

"Wow... these people are looking at us." Suzuna whispered beside Kidou Ryuko, "Do we really want to continue going inside? The aura of this place feels very bad."

Gui Teng Longguang gritted his teeth, lowered his bamboo hat, and walked forward in silence, knocking his Zen stick heavily on the ground, as if to remind everyone not to let down their guard or be frightened. "We didn't do anything out of the ordinary." Suzuki comforted him, "They don't dare to attack us at this time."

Terao Yu said, "Don't shake the morale, Suzuna. You should know that the pressure on Teacher Qian's side is much greater than ours! Even Master Gui Teng is not afraid, so what should we be afraid of?"

Suzuna glanced at Kifuji Ryuko and immediately noticed that his knuckles were white when he was holding the Zen stick, and it was obvious that he was holding it very hard, so Suzuna rolled her eyes and closed her mouth. She decided to hide at the back and not stand up when she encountered danger.

After they walked for a while, a group of people came over aggressively and blocked their way.

"Ha~ What are the exorcists doing here?" The leading young man put his hands in his pockets with a rather disdainful expression. Behind him followed many believers, staring straight at the exorcists.

"That man is... [Eleven Saints] Saito Yuichi!" Inuyama Heita has not forgotten this face. At that time, this man brought a dozen Aquarius messengers to the downstairs of the apartment building to block him and Nanajo Masato. He will never forget this incident.

"Ninety-nine... How dare you come here? You did a lot of bad things yesterday." Saito Yuichi also saw Inuyama Heita, but he didn't care. He looked at Kidou Ryuko and sneered, "Hey, exorcists! Get out of here. You are not welcome here."

The believers behind him also started shouting.

"Do you want to cause trouble?"

"You will never be allowed to disrupt this parade!"

"Despicable exorcists!"

The believers had ferocious looks on their faces, and many of them were holding vases in their hands. Dozens of evil spirits emerged from the vases, chanting filthy words, and were ready to attack the exorcists. The exorcists also took out their magic tools, ready for battle, and the battle was about to break out.

Gui Teng Longguang was not moved at all. He raised his bamboo hat slightly and asked with a puzzled expression: "Oh? You are not allowed to go through? But I clearly remember that this should be a public road, right? Or did you hope that the Church bought this road?"

"Anyway, I won't let you pass!" Saito Yuichi shouted in a very rogue manner: "Who knows what you are planning to do?"

Gui Teng Long Guang didn't say anything, just stood there waiting.

"Are you scared?" Saito Yuichi shouted, "Then go back!"

Gui Teng Longguang remained silent. He was waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Now was not the time for a conflict.

As Gui Teng Longguang fell silent, the exorcists also quieted down, forming a sharp contrast with the arrogance and domineering on the other side, like a group of stones standing there.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and the believers of the Church of Hope were becoming more and more angry and were about to take action, the reinforcements that Gui Teng Longguang had been waiting for arrived.

"What's wrong? What happened here?" A traffic policeman came here on a motorcycle. Because there were so many people in the parade, many policemen came to patrol the roads and maintain order.

"We just wanted to get through here." Gui Teng Longguang said, "We didn't do anything."

The traffic police frowned and looked to the other side.

"Tsk... Mr. Officer, nothing happened here." Saito Yuichi spread his hands: "We were just chatting with them just now, we didn't cause any trouble."

Then he took the lead and made way.

Kito Ryuko led the group over, and Saito Yuichi followed beside him, staring at Kito Ryuko viciously: "No matter what you want to do, I will keep an eye on you."

He didn't dare threaten too loudly because the traffic policeman was right behind him, riding a motorcycle slowly following the team.

After all, anyone who sees these strangely dressed people appearing here will be on high alert, and this just happens to provide the exorcists with a perfect shelter, allowing them to pass smoothly.
