Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 252 Liberation
This roar, imbued with Yang Liu's powerful will, directly struck at the deepest obsession and pain within Moriyama Tetsu's heart.

Along with Yang Liu's roar, the rosary beads in the center of Moriyama Tetsu's body emitted a warm light.

The moment Yang Liu touched the rosary, she already knew the reason.

Why would such a strange bead appear in a rosary of cancer beads whose primary purpose is killing?

Yang Liu now understands that, strictly speaking, this bead was not something that originally existed, but rather an extra "contingency plan" added by someone.

The bead did not contain any negative power filled with resentment, but rather the name of someone Moriyama Tetsu knew very well and could never forget—his wife.

The person who gave Moriyama Tetsuya this rosary must have seen the soul of his wife attached to his back, which is why they added an extra bead of "hope" to the rosary.

Yang Liu had no idea how strong a willpower this ordinary woman possessed to keep her husband sane amidst so many negative emotions.

However, Yang Liu clearly sensed that as time passed, the aura of the bead that sealed the remnant soul of Moriyama Tetsu's wife, Eri, was weakening at an alarming rate, which meant that the remnant soul inside was about to collapse and dissipate.

The brief contact just now allowed Yang Liu to sense the other party's desperate pleas, and it was for this reason that Yang Liu decided to try using "talking techniques" instead.

Fortunately, the results were good.

As if doused with ice water, Moriyama Tetsu's frantic movements abruptly stopped, his blood-red pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, a clear struggle and astonishment appeared on his face, which was contorted with pain and resentment.

“Eri…” he whispered hoarsely, the name seemingly carrying some kind of magic, causing his semi-spirited body to tremble violently.

Eri... waited for him for ten years... not to... see him become like this...

Military pawns... monsters...

Fragments of memories surged forth like a tide: Eri's gentle smile in the sunlight, the sunflowers blooming on the windowsill, her worried eyes when she left, and that cold, fabricated suicide report... as well as the cold-blooded experimental records of the military that she had just "seen" in the basement!
"No... I'm not... I'm not a pawn...!" Moriyama Tetsu screamed in anguish.

He looked at his translucent, cracked hands, felt the violent and uncontrollable power within him, and the rapidly weakening rosary that belonged to Eri…

He got it.

If this continues, not only will he fail to achieve his revenge, but he will also completely lose himself, and even the last trace of Eri will be completely devoured and annihilated by this filthy power!
No! This cannot happen!
A resolute glint flashed in Moriyama Tetsu's eyes.

He suddenly raised his trembling left hand, not to attack Yang Liu, but to tightly grasp the last bead of the broken rosary on his wrist—the bead that maintained his sanity and sealed away the love of his life!

"Eri... I'm sorry... I kept you waiting..."

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Moriyama Tetsu used his last bit of strength to crush the rosary beads!

"Crack!"

A soft sound, yet it seemed to strike the heart of everyone.

Instead of violent vengeful spirits rushing out, a gentle, warm light slowly emanated from the broken beads.

In the light, a female silhouette dressed in a white dress with a gentle and serene face slowly coalesced into a physical form.

It was Eri Moriyama.

Her ethereal figure carried a hint of sorrow, but even more so, an endless longing. She reached out and gently stroked Moriyama Tetsu's cracked, nearly collapsing face. "Tetsu..."

Moriyama Tetsu's half-spirit body trembled violently, and for the first time, hot, blood-red tears streamed from his blood-red eyes.

He reached out the same illusory hand and tightly grasped his wife's hand.

“Eri…I…”

All the words in the world ultimately amount to nothing more than a fleeting yet powerful embrace.

The ghostly figures of the couple embraced tightly on this ruin filled with poison gas, resentment, and carnage.

The moment they embraced, a miracle occurred.

It wasn't a malevolent force of resentment, but rather a power born from the combined strength of ten years of unwavering devotion, the love at the moment of death, and the determination to reunite at this moment. It transformed into a dazzling golden light that burst forth from where the two embraced!
This golden light is pure, warm, and possesses unparalleled purifying power!
Wherever the light passed, the surging gray-green poisonous fog melted and was purified as if it were ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!
Those humanoid figures formed from resentment and poisonous gas emitted silent wails in the golden light, instantly vanishing. The cold, violent resentment that permeated the air was also soothed and dispelled by this warm light.

Even the backlash from the Jizo mantra on the prayer beads that Uga Shoji felt while reciting the Heart Sutra vanished into nothingness in this golden light.

In just a few breaths, the gloom that had shrouded the abandoned courthouse was completely dispelled by the golden light that was formed from obsession.

A light drizzle fell, washing the ground, leaving only the freshness of the rain and a faint, warm scent like that of sunflowers in the air.

The poisonous fog dissipated, and the crisis was over.

As the golden light faded, Eri Moriyama's illusory figure wore a satisfied and relieved smile.

It nodded gratefully to Yang Liu, glanced at Moriyama Tetsu one last time, and then turned into specks of light that dissipated into the air, leaving only a single, undetectable golden ray of light in place.

Because Moriyama Tetsu lost the support of all the vengeful spirits and the rosary beads, his spirit form disappeared, and he re-formed his original human form.

He staggered and knelt on the ground, his body extremely weak, his life force like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Moriyama Tetsu raised his head and looked at the willows not far away. His eyes were no longer filled with madness, but only with a complex weariness and emptiness, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

"It worked pretty well. Looks like I'm quite good at talking my way out of things. Maybe I'm even suited to be a psychologist."

Seeing Moriyama Tetsu's condition, Yang Liu's bulging muscles also slightly contracted, dispelling her fighting stance, and her corroded, pitted skin healed at a visible speed.

He was dead.

This was the conclusion Yang Liu reached the moment she saw Moriyama Tetsu.

He appears weak now, but that's just an appearance. His physical body has long since dissipated during the process of spiritualization, and what stands before us now is merely a weakened soul.

Moreover, due to the excessive use of his power, his soul itself was extremely weak and could dissipate at any moment.

Moriyama Tetsu raised his head and looked at the willows not far away. His eyes, which were once filled with madness and resentment, were now only filled with a look of almost relieved weariness.
