The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 880: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (21)

After a moment of silence, Inuyama Heita was about to say something when Hayafune Chizuru suddenly launched an attack!
"Wait..." Inuyama Heita dodged the spear made of black lines in a panic, and shouted loudly while running away: "I want to tell you something."

"That's enough!" Chizuru Hayafune's aura had become extremely cold at this moment, just like the way she looked when Inuyama Heita first saw her on that typhoon night.

She instantly appeared beside Inuyama Heita, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"You've delayed me for a long time, Jiujiu." Chizuru Hayafune's right hand turned into a black claw, about to pierce Inuyama Heita's chest: "I still have something to do, and that thing is very important to me, so please forgive me."

Inuyama Heita's pupils suddenly shrank, and at this critical moment, he shouted loudly: "Oda!!!"

"Yes! Section Chief!" A corporate slave rose from the ground and was about to entangle Chizuru Hayafune to create a chance for Inuyama Heita to escape.

Snapped.

Mr. Sato, who was watching with his legs crossed, snapped his fingers and said, "No help, get out of here."

"Yes! Boss!" Oda sank into the ground again swiftly.

"It's over." Chizuru Hayafune muttered softly, then pierced Inuyama Heita's chest with her sharp fingers. He didn't even have time to scream before he was drowned and swallowed by the black lines that burst out from Chizuru Hayafune's palm.

"..."

Chizuru Hayafune turned to Mr. Sato and said without any emotion: "I don't know what you are, but I have no more performance for you now. Let me leave here, otherwise..."

Mr. Sato ignored Chizuru Hayafune's threat and continued to sit there, grinning and saying, "It's over? Why do I feel like the show has just begun? Unless the client cancels the commission, even I cannot easily remove this area."

Chizuru Hayafune then felt something was wrong. She wanted to shake off the body that was pierced by her palm, but found that her arm was held tightly and she could not break free!

The black lines receded like the tide, revealing Inuyama Heita inside. Although he looked miserable with his entire chest pierced, he was alive and well, still breathing, and even grabbed Hayafune Chizuru's arms with both hands.

"One..." Inuyama Heita forced an ugly smile: "Now, can you listen to me?"

Although the black lines covered Chizuru Hayafune's face, making it difficult to see her expression, Inuyama Heita felt that he had finally given her a little shock.

"Since you've already left, why did you come back?" Hayafune Chizuru asked in confusion, "Why did you actively embrace [despair]? It was so hard to get rid of it back then." Inuyama Heita took a deep breath and said, "At that time, I couldn't bear the cruelty of reality. Thanks to you, I was able to escape from that hell. But now, I think I can bear these things, so I stand here, in front of you. I want to save you!"

"Ninety-nine, you don't know what you are doing! I don't need you to save me." Chizuru Hayafune's tone finally fluctuated: "Others are still waiting for me, I have more important things to do!"

The aura around her became more and more violent, and those black lines continued to attack Inuyama Heita restlessly, but Inuyama Heita still gritted his teeth.

"I told you, I can bear this power now!" Inuyama Heita roared, "One! Wake up, they are lying to you! There has never been any kingdom of God! It's all fake. Once a person dies, he is really dead! You are just being used by them."

"Shut up!" Chizuru Hayafune continued her attack.

"No way!" Inuyama Heita tried to make Chizuru Hayafune realize what was happening. "You are not a saint! You were a test subject nineteen years ago, imitating the witch known as the [Cursed Witch] - Keiko Terao! Your father, Father Kamino, and the mastermind behind the Hundred Demons, Taoist Jingde, took advantage of your kindness and empathy, and after continuous experiments, they turned you into what you are now!"

Although it was only Qian Xiaoyi and Ashiya Jisuke's speculation, Inuyama Heita stated this conclusion without hesitation. His face was distorted, and he grabbed Hayafune Chizuru's wrist and refused to let go no matter how he was attacked. He roared: "Don't you understand? Whether it's you or those believers who believe in you, you have all been used! They use your despair and faith to try to make you sacrifice to create what they want!"

"Stop talking!" Chizuru Hayafune continued to beat Inuyama Heita with her other hand, but judging from her posture at this moment, she was not calm inside.

Inuyama Heita gritted his teeth and insisted, telling the truth he knew in one go: "Your father, Amahara Mari, or Hayafune Katsuhiko, has treated you as a commodity to make money from the very beginning. It has been like this since he opened that fraudulent superpower training institution! He only cares about whether he can dig out benefits from you! Cognitive faction! Everything is a conspiracy by the cognitive Taoist Jingde. Please believe me, I can tell you all the truth..."

"I know."

Chizuru Hayafune's answer made Inuyama Heita stand there in shock. She stopped her attack and said in a cold tone: "I know everything you said, including cognitive theory, what I am going to do, and my father's affairs."

Inuyama Heita finally let go of his hand. He couldn't believe his ears: "Then why..."

"I've never been... a saint, I know that." Hayafune Chizuru withdrew her hand, put Inuyama Heita down, and whispered, "I'm just a coward... I'm afraid that the people around me will do something terrible because of those negative emotions. I can't accept that result, so I will accept their despair, including you, Ninety-nine."

Inuyama Heita was stunned. He had never thought that Chizuru Hayafune knew everything. He asked in disbelief: "Since you knew everything, why did you listen to them and do those things? Isn't it scary to take those who believed in you to die?"

"I've seen too many desperate people." Chizuru Hayafune calmed down, and even the black lines that kept wriggling on her face became less manic: "For some people, living itself is a kind of pain. In comparison, death is a kind of relief for them... That's why I said that I'm just a coward. I want to die just to escape from this world. When people die, there is nothing left. I knew this from the beginning."

She looked at Inuyama Heita: "So, instead of living like that, I might as well die here and create a false happy world, so that I can feel the value of my existence."
