Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 244 Underground Antique Shop

The power of resentment doesn't simply vanish into thin air. If it can't be found, the only possibility is that it has been absorbed by someone.

As for who absorbed it, that goes without saying.

"What kind of impact would it have if that vengeful superhuman got out of control?" Yang Liu couldn't help but ask.

Based on the residual aura on the bead, Uga Shouji made some calculations and roughly came to the following conclusion:
"According to estimates, the person who died out of control would have created a negative energy field, with a diameter of about ten meters. Fortunately, the vitality of the living can resist the erosion of negative energy. Unless they are the unlucky ones who are terminally ill, ordinary people within this area will at most feel unwell."

"That doesn't sound too serious," Yang Liu said, stroking her chin thoughtfully.

Such a large area is equivalent to a small open space, and the only result is that people feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, that is, provided that the superhuman only absorbed the power of one bead," Yokota Teru said quietly.

Yang Liu was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the wooden box, her eyelids twitching involuntarily.

Yes, absorbing the power of just one bead wouldn't have a significant impact.

Although such power is quite terrifying in the eyes of superhumans, the harm caused by losing control is not exaggerated.

But this thing is shaped like a rosary.

Based on the remaining fragments of the bead, the complete bead was not very large, roughly the size of a regular longan.

As we all know, a string of prayer beads usually has at least seven or eight beads, and if there are more, it's impossible to count them all.

“The harm of negative energy to the human body does not increase linearly, but rather increases precipitously once it breaks through the life force barrier. If we take the life force of a healthy adult male as the standard… I’m afraid that if the other party absorbs the energy field released after the uncontrolled death of more than five beads, it would be enough to kill him.” Uga Shouji quickly calculated the more detailed data.

The result was quite unsatisfactory, as it was far less than the number of beads in a normal rosary.

"Moreover, based on the characteristics of negative energy, the area affected by that guy's death will expand rapidly. If we're unlucky, we might even get to witness a negative energy nuclear bomb."

Teru Yokota had intended to tell a lame joke to lighten the mood, but he found himself unable to laugh as he spoke.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, he stood up with a dark expression on his face: "I'll go ask my dad if he knows anyone who knows anything about this. You guys can help me investigate too!"

Watching Yokota Teru's departing figure, Yang Liu and Uga Shouji exchanged bewildered glances.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Liu decisively got up and left.

"Are you also planning to investigate?" Uga Shoji asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yang Liu turned her head to look at him blankly, then shook her head: "No, I just suddenly realized that lunch break is almost over and I have to go back to school."

As for helping with the investigation or something... forget it!

As the saying goes, those who reap what they sow, and all these messy things were caused by the Japanese themselves, and had nothing to do with Yang Liu.

Besides, given Yokota Teru's strength, he wouldn't be affected even under such a negative energy field, so Yang Liu didn't bother to care about the mess the Japanese had created on the other island.

……

"So...why did I come along?"

In a secluded alley in Fukuoka City, Yang Liu stared speechlessly at the sign of the underground antique shop. Sasaki Reiko, who had come with him, couldn't help but complain, "Tsk, do you think I wanted to come here? The problem is, my family has some connections with Sumiyoshi Shrine. Even Grandpa Yokota has approached me, so I can only help him look for relevant clues."

"So why did you bring me here?!" Yang Liu rolled her eyes.

"There's no other way. This place is the best for investigating the whereabouts of this kind of random stuff, but I had a bit of a falling out with the people here before, so I asked you to come here as a precaution..."

"So you hired me to be your bodyguard?"

“This old man is best at all kinds of ghost-related techniques, and you are especially good at fighting ghosts, so you are definitely the most suitable person to work with!” Sasaki Reiko reached out and patted Yang Liu’s arm.

"Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. I'll give you half of the payment Mr. Yokota gave me. Besides, the underground antique shops here are full of things related to ghosts. You might find something that interests you."

"Fine……"

Yang Liu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Money was secondary; what really piqued his interest was Sasaki Reiko's last sentence.

These are all items related to ghosts. Even if you can't find something you can use, you can find a few small items that have sealed away demons to absorb and strengthen your body.

After all, since her physical fitness has improved to this level, Yang Liu has long since stopped being able to find ghosts.

Not to mention showing up in front of him, even the area within a few kilometers of him becomes a zone where ghosts and monsters avoid.

jingle.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the doorbell, Yang Liu followed Sasaki Reiko into the underground antique shop.

At first glance, this shop doesn't seem special; it's just like any other secondhand shop.

Apart from a few antiques, the store mainly displays various second-hand electrical appliances, bicycles, and toys.

"Welcome... Ah!!! Boss, enemy attack!"

Before the welcoming staff could even finish their greetings, they screamed in surprise upon seeing Sasaki Reiko's face.

The store suddenly became lively after the clerk yelled like that.

With Yang Liu's hearing, she could clearly hear a dense chorus of footsteps coming from behind the seemingly small shop.

"This...is what you mean by 'a little...controversial'?!" Yang Liu gritted her teeth and stiffly turned to look at Sasaki Reiko beside her.

"Oh dear, I was naive when I was young, so I offended a bit more people," Sasaki Reiko said shyly.

"What are you shy about!"

Despite saying this, Yang Liu proactively raised her hand to meet the spell cast by the shop assistant.

boom!
A dull thud was heard, and Yang Liu casually dispersed the spell. Her expression froze for a moment, then turned to ecstasy—the main energy that constituted this spell was not spiritual power, but spiritual energy refined through special means.

Using her Qi-absorbing ability, Yang Liu absorbed the scattered spiritual energy, licked her lips, and looked at the dozen or so shop assistants running out from the back room with a "kind" expression.

"In order for us to communicate better later, I think it's more appropriate to beat them up first."

Sasaki Reiko glanced at Yang Liu with some surprise: "I didn't realize you were so fierce? I have no objection."
