The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 868: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (9)

In a strange atmosphere, believers of the Church of Hope and exorcists arrived at the final destination of the parade - a camping site in Aokigahara Forest.

There were already a large group of people at the terminal waiting for the arrival of the float. The moment they saw the exorcists, eyes filled with doubt, surprise, hostility, hatred and other negative emotions were immediately focused on them.

"What are they doing here?"

"What a disgusting guy who came uninvited."

“Don’t these guys know the vibe?”

"What's going on? Who are these strange people?"

If there weren't police here to maintain order, the exorcists might have been surrounded and driven out long ago.

At this time, the exorcists also saw their target. Father Kamino was wearing his iconic black Roman uniform and chatting with the believers around him. He looked approachable. Now that he had left the exorcist team, he no longer needed to disguise himself and just stood there openly.

"It's the priest! He's there!" An exorcist couldn't help but shout out.

"Kamino, you bastard traitor!"

The exorcists shared a common hatred for the enemy, and the atmosphere between the two sides became tense again, making the police not far away nervous.

"Well, today should be a happy day. Let's not be like this." Father Kamino came out to smooth things over. He walked up to Kidou Ryuko with a Bible in his arms, took a look, and asked politely, "Is Mr. Kidou the current leader? Where are the others?"

Standing in front of Father Kamino, Guido Ryumitsu felt the pressure doubled. Although this priest was a few years younger than him, he was a real exorcist and was much stronger than him.

Although Father Kamino behaved very humbly, Ryuko Kido felt a hint of contempt, because the other party was looking for a strong person who could communicate with him on an equal footing, such as Ashiya Yoshisuke, Hoshiba Ryou, and Qian Xiaoyi, but not him, Ryuko Kido.

"...Palm Tree." Gui Teng Longguang said expressionlessly, "We are enough here."

Father Kamino looked at Gui Teng Long Guang in surprise and sighed, "It seems that after I left, Mr. Gui Teng, you have also changed a lot. I am sorry... However, I am afraid that I can't let you make trouble here today. Please look around. If something happens, even I can't stop these lost lambs from doing something bad. They have been oppressed by this world for too long."

His words were polite, but Gui Teng Longguang felt like he was falling into an icy cave. This was a threat! This was a naked threat! The believers who were watching him eagerly let Gui Teng Longguang know that what he said was true. These crazy guys would do anything for the faith in their hearts.

However, Gui Teng Longguang did not intend to give in, or rather, he could not give in. Once he showed weakness here, he would die faster. Gui Teng Longguang was always very clear about what to say in what occasion.

"What happens next is not up to you." Gui Teng Longguang didn't even raise his eyelids, and his feet were unmoved: "Please stay tuned, Zhiye, we will crush your delusions."

Father Kamino sighed, "...Is that so? I understand. I hope you can hold on. This Death Forest is our home ground. May God bless you."

As he spoke, he returned to the believers of the Church of Hope and began to lead them in singing hymns. The believers gathered around Father Kamino, like stars surrounding the moon. As the hymns sounded, the aura of the entire sea of ​​trees began to tremble and gathered in the camp.

"This is..." Wei Bo's face changed. She covered her head and said painfully: "I can feel that the remaining resentment of those suicides on this land is gathering... It is obviously a song praising beautiful things, why does it have such an effect?" After Wei Bo, other exorcists also felt a little uneasiness, and the team began to become restless.

Terao Yu took out the Curse Book, frowned and turned to a certain page, and said, "It should be [Comparison]! Or it could be the curse of [Jealousy]. Just like when ordinary people see people who are more miserable than themselves, they will secretly feel lucky for their lives. In this atmosphere, believers will sigh at the beauty of being alive. This happiness created by comparison will activate the resentment in the sea of ​​trees and make them concentrate."

But understanding the principle cannot change their situation. At this time, Gui Teng Longguang stood up.

"Everyone, don't panic." Gui Teng Longguang put down his Zen stick and sat down cross-legged: "This level of attack can't defeat us!"

He slowly began to recite the scriptures, and these familiar scriptures calmed the exorcists.

"As expected, he is Master Gui Teng!" One by one, they followed Gui Teng Longguang's example and sat down with their legs spread out, chanting along with him the Buddhist scriptures they had practiced for a long time. Gradually, a golden silhouette of a giant appeared above them, and the faint golden light resisted the invasion of resentment from the sea of ​​trees.

From the perspective of a psychic, on one side is the Church of Hope headed by Father Kamino. They are radiating white holy light and are enthusiastic and happy.

On the other side were the exorcists led by Gui Teng Longguang. The golden Buddha light was melodious and peaceful, and the sounds of hymns and Buddhist scriptures were intertwined. The two sides were clearly distinguished. If you look at the camp from above, on the outskirts of the camp, there is an abyss-like black vortex slowly flowing around the two rays of light, creating a strange yet harmonious scene.

I just don’t know when this delicate balance will be broken.

"Huh... seems like I'm safe for now." Feeling that the aura of despair was isolated outside, Suzuna breathed a sigh of relief.

Terao Yu snorted coldly: "It's just temporary."

Inuyama Heita did not relax like Suzuna, because he saw a RV parked in the corner of the camp. Several guards in black robes and masks were guarding outside the car. It seemed that there was some important person inside.

"Mari Amahara and Father Kamino are both outside..." Inuyama Heita stared at the RV and thought, "Then the person in the car guarded by these guards should be her..."

Inuyama Heita's heart began beating violently, not because of excitement or excitement, but because of fear and terror.

He didn't feel anything before entering the forest, but after arriving here, he realized that if it was that woman, Chizuru Hayafune, who had mobilized her followers to commit suicide as a trigger, then in this forest known as the "Suicide Forest", thousands of grievances would be concentrated on her alone...

She can do it!

"Only I can stop her!" A drop of cold sweat fell from Inuyama Heita's forehead and landed on the ground.

Now, he had only one thought in his mind.

"This is my mission! I want to stop her, I must stop her! Brother Otoko's plan must succeed! And..." Inuyama Heita stared at the RV:

"——I want to save her! Just like she saved me!"
