Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 266 Cleaning up
The abandoned warehouse under the cover of night was filled with a complex smell of gunpowder, blood, and sea breeze.

Realizing they wouldn't get any more information by staying any longer, the group cleaned up the sumo wrestler's body and left.

Because Miyamoto Yuya's injuries were too serious, Uga Shouji did not immediately go to Sasaki Reiko to ask about them, but instead prepared to take him to the hospital first.

"Miyamoto's injuries are severe. He has lost too much blood and his internal organs have been shaken. He must be taken to the hospital immediately."

Uga Shoji carried the unconscious Miyamoto Yuuki on his back, his usual gentle demeanor replaced by a hint of anger and worry: "I'll contact Sasaki-sensei later. Yang-kun, Koizumi-kun, please be careful as well."

"I need to go back to the shrine." Yokota Teru neatly cleaned up the traces of the battle around him, his expression serious.

“This matter is strange, and I need to ask my father and grandfather immediately.”

He nodded slightly to Yang Liu and Yuhe Zhaoer, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night, clearly anxious as well.

Watching the two figures leave, Yang Liu patted Xiao Quanling's shoulder, trying to soften her voice as much as possible: "Let's go, it's getting late."

“Okay…” Koizumi Rin nodded.

Just as she was about to lift her foot, a piercing pain shot through her, causing her to hiss involuntarily and nearly fall.

Yang Liu immediately reached out to support her, and after a glance, she understood.

The girl's face was still pale with shock, and her school uniform was covered in dust and bloodstains, especially the wound on her calf. Although the bleeding had stopped, it was deep enough to expose the bone, and it still hurt a lot when she walked.

Yang Liu decisively turned her back to Koizumi Rin and half-squatted down, patting her own shoulder: "Get on, I'll carry you to the ferry first, and then we'll find a hospital to bandage you up when we get to the city."

"it is good."

Koizumi Rin wasn't shy at all; after all, Yang Liu had carried her on long journeys several times before, and the two of them were used to this way of traveling.

She carefully avoided her injured leg, placed her hands on Yang Liu's broad shoulders, and gently leaned against his back.

Yang Liu's back was very broad and muscular; even through his clothes, one could feel his amazing strength and stability.

As soon as Koizumi Rin leaned close, she could smell a faint scent mixed with sweat, seawater, and a hint of gunpowder.

However, the smell didn't bother Koizumi Rin, who had just experienced a brush with death; instead, it gave her a strange sense of peace.

Yang Liu reached behind her with both hands, firmly supporting her knees, and then slowly stood up.

Koizumi Rin's weight was almost negligible to him; he stood extremely steadily, as if he were carrying only a feather.

"Hold on tight."

Yang Liu said something in a low voice, then started walking towards the ferry crossing.

His steps were long and extremely steady, and even in this uneven, abandoned area littered with rubble and debris, Koizumi Rin on his back barely felt any bumps.

Only the night breeze ruffled her hair, and the steady, powerful heartbeat of Yang Liu reached her ears.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

As they moved further away from the warehouse, the smell of blood gradually faded, leaving only the tranquility of the night and the monotonous sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

The moonlight peeked out from behind the clouds, and the streetlights cast long shadows of the two people.

Lying on Yang Liu's back, feeling the slight rise and fall of his muscles as he walked, Xiao Quanling's tense nerves slowly relaxed. The fear, tension, and pain she had felt earlier seemed to be soothed by this broad back.

"Hehe!" Suddenly, she couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Liu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Teacher, according to what they do in TV dramas, you should be carrying her in a princess carry in this situation!" Koizumi Rin giggled. Yang Liu couldn't see her expression, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You have so many wounds on your body right now. Carrying you horizontally might cause your wounds to reopen while walking—don't you feel any pain?"

"You really don't know how to comfort people."

"Don't follow your own example, Unit 2."

"Alright, alright." Koizumi Rin rolled her eyes and asked the question that had been bothering her, "Teacher, how did you find me so quickly?"

Yang Liu paused upon hearing this, his expression immediately turning somewhat awkward, thankfully Koizumi Rin couldn't see his expression:
"Ahem... Do you remember the talisman I gave you before?"

"Teacher, you mean this amulet?" Koizumi Rin pulled out the yellow talisman rolled into a triangle from around her neck and waved it in front of Yang Liu's eyes. "But didn't you say you just bought this online?"

"It's this... This thing was indeed bought online, it only serves as a psychological comfort, but I put a tracker in it..." Yang Liu's eyes darted around.

He did this because he had only recently come into contact with the supernatural and wanted to be prepared for the possibility of not being able to find this "kindred spirit" later.

Koizumi Rin paused, then looked at the triangularly wrapped talisman in front of her eyes again, a mocking smile suddenly appearing on her face:
"Oh? Teacher, using this method to track down female high school students... that's a crime!"

Yang Liu felt goosebumps rising on her back: "It's my fault, I'm sorry... and please don't talk to me like that."

"Hehe..." Koizumi Rin couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassed look.

"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you saved me, teacher. Remember to buy me ice cream, okay?"

"No problem... but we'll have to wait until your wound has healed."

"Teacher, you're really clueless about romance."

Koizumi Rin pouted, glanced at Yang Liu, then at the talisman in her hand, and chuckled as she put it back around her neck.

……

……

On the huge holographic screen, the battle that had just taken place in the warehouse on Nenggu Island was being played in slow motion from multiple angles in high definition.

Every detail of Yang Liu's punch, the flow of runes on the sumo wrestler's body, the energy fluctuations of the Onmyoji's spell, Uga Shoji's Buddhist light, Yokota Teru's Shinto power, and the final earth-shattering "breath" were all clearly recorded and analyzed.

In front of the screen stood a tall, beautiful young woman dressed in a black special operations uniform.

She had a pair of slightly upturned, fox-like eyes, and was watching with great interest the scene on the screen where Yang Liu unleashed his final ultimate move, a cold and playful smile playing on her lips.

She is none other than Chida Ezuko, the eldest daughter of the Chida family and Yangliu's former "junior."

“What excellent material…” Chida Ezuko stuck out her tongue and lightly licked her red lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement and calculation. “Yang Liu… is even more interesting than the report estimated. Its upper limit of pure physical destructive power is extremely high, its recovery ability is amazing, and it even hides the trump card of this energy absorption and release… Tsk tsk, truly a perfect 'chess piece'.”

A researcher in a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses respectfully reported, "Lord Chida, preliminary data analysis is complete. The target Yang Liu's physical resistance, energy resistance, burst power, and sustained combat capability all far exceed expectations. The energy composition of the 'breath' is complex, and its destructive power level is determined to be A+ (tactical level), but it does not exceed expectations. It is speculated that there are no other abilities."

“Very good.” Chida Ezuko nodded in satisfaction, her gaze returning to Yang Liu’s slightly weary figure on the screen, her eyes fixed on a precious collectible. “Continue to maintain the highest level of surveillance. Notify ‘over there’ that they can prepare for the next phase of ‘contact’.”

Isn't my good older brother also in charge of the 'God-Making Project'? I heard he's planning to take action against the monster at the bottom of Lake Mikazuki?

"Yes, according to the plan they submitted to the military, they intend to reuse the colossal spirit at the bottom of the lake."

"Then let's send him a surprise, and see just how capable this 'beast' I've chosen really is!"

After she finished speaking, a smile full of ambition and cruelty appeared on her alluring face.
