Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 289 The Water Ghost Legion
"Damn it! Why did this guy break the seal?!"

Chidaikei in the command room could no longer maintain his composed demeanor and angrily slammed his hand on the table, shattering it.

He grabbed a researcher nearby and glared at him fiercely: "Tell me! Why was this thing able to break the seal?! Didn't you say it was impossible for it to break through no matter what?!"

The researcher trembled with fear at his fierce gaze, but could only offer a forced explanation when confronted with questions:
"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed impossible for it to break through the seal... No, it should be said that this thing never had the idea of ​​breaking through the seal in the first place. When this ghost was first born, the person in charge at that time forcibly stripped the divinity from its body and sealed it."

Without the mixed will within the divine harmonizing power, the demon god who absorbed tens of thousands of evil spirits should have no self-awareness at all…

Upon hearing this, Chidaikei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew about this matter, which was why he had been so confident from beginning to end.

"Where did the sealed artifact go?! Where did the artifact that sealed away divinity go?!"

Leaving the researcher behind, Chidaikei's sharp gaze swept over the others in the room.

Among the group of researchers who were bowing their heads and pretending not to exist, one trembling researcher stood out so much that he spotted him immediately.

"Speak! What happened?!" Chidaike rushed over with a sword step, grabbed the other person by the neck and lifted him up.

"No... I'm very sorry, but actually, the patrol team has been unable to find any trace of that wild boar since last month..." (Chapter 30)

"Then why didn't anyone tell me?!" Chidaike's expression was as ferocious as a demon.

The researchers lowered their eyes in fear, gripping his hands tightly as they tried to breathe more air.

"The two patrolmen didn't take it seriously at first. By the time they reported it, more than a month had passed, and everyone had already fled..."

Although the words were not elaborated, Chidaike already understood what the other party meant. Given the character of these Japanese officials, they were probably afraid of being held responsible if the report came up, so they simply chose to conceal it.

Chidaikei was furious at the thought that her meticulously planned scheme had been ruined by these bastards. She wanted nothing more than to kill the guy in front of her on the spot.

But he knew that the other party belonged to the Japanese government and was not under his command. If the other party died, it would only give his sister more leverage.

In her anger, she threw the researcher, who was already somewhat unconscious due to lack of oxygen, to the ground. Chidaike turned to look at the demons on the screen, but could only rage helplessly.

"what!!!"

……

……

On the other side, with the appearance of the demons and gods, the entire waters of Lake Mikazuki seemed to boil!
As the lake water churned, a large amount of water vapor rose from the lake, quickly forming a thick fog that covered the surrounding forest.

slam-la-

Countless dark figures surged out of the lake like a tide, spreading outwards along with the thick fog.

Those are thousands upon thousands of water ghosts!
They come in various forms; some retain the vague outline of the humans before they drowned, while others have long since transformed into twisted and terrifying water monsters, their bodies shrouded in intense resentment and icy lake water.

They swarmed densely, like locusts in flight, instantly covering the entire lakeshore.

These water ghosts had eyes that gleamed with hunger and madness; they had lost their reason and were left only with the most primal desire for the flesh and soul of the living.

"How is this possible? How could a water ghost come ashore?!" Jiang Miaozhi couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw this.

The others also looked grim upon seeing this. The army of water demons at the bottom of Lake Mikazuki was numerous, but in most cases, the extraordinary individuals of the Kyushu region didn't take them seriously. A large part of the reason was the water demons' inherent characteristic—they couldn't leave the water where they drowned. This characteristic meant that no matter how threatening these water demons were, they wouldn't pose a significant threat to ordinary people.

But now, these water ghosts have broken this ironclad rule!

These are tens of thousands of top-tier evil spirits. With the characteristics of negative energy, once they get out of control, there is no individual that can resist them. They can be said to kill wherever they go, a true national annihilation-level disaster!

"Water mist! That's the cause of the water mist!"

Yang Liu reacted the fastest, quickly finding the cause based on her experience dealing with ghosts.

"These water droplets maintained the concept of being 'in the water,' which is why the ghosts were able to escape Lake Mikazuki... No! Conceptually speaking, they never left the lake at all!"

"You can do that?!" Jiang Miaozhi was greatly surprised, but her hands moved quickly.

While Uga Shoji and the others were still in shock, she had already grabbed the injured Shen Zhe and ran outside, while also reminding the other three.

"Even in this state, why aren't you running? Are you planning to stay here and feed the ghosts?!"

Yang Liu and the others were slightly taken aback, but they quickly realized what was happening and followed Jiang Miaozhi as they ran out of the mountains.

The freed ghosts and evil spirits made no distinction between friend and foe; in their eyes, all living beings were prey to be dragged into this boundless abyss of suffering.

"kill!!!"

"Drag it out!!!"

"Come and... perish with us!!!"

Countless venomous roars converged into one, and tens of thousands of water ghosts, like a black tide, surged madly toward all the remaining living things on the shore.

What was originally an official siege of the protagonist group instantly turned into a chaotic battle for survival involving multiple factions!

Several government soldiers who had miraculously survived were overwhelmed by the swarming water ghosts before they could fully recover from the shock of the ghosts. They were dragged into the water and torn to pieces in an instant, their souls devoured.

Those officials who had just initiated the "blood sacrifice" procedure were not spared either; they had just exhausted a large amount of their life force and were extremely weak.

Completely powerless against this overwhelming army of evil spirits, they followed in the footsteps of their companions in the blink of an eye.

Even the few remaining alloy golems were surrounded by the angry water ghosts.

Faced with an excessive amount of negative energy, the puppet's core spirit was almost instantly overwhelmed and assimilated.

Supported by a massive amount of negative energy, the alloy puppet, despite losing its manipulator, was still forcibly driven by the spirit within its core and turned to join the hunt for living beings.

"Retreat! Retreat now!" When Chidaike saw this hellish scene in the command center, he finally felt a deep-seated fear.

He screamed hysterically into the communicator, his voice distorted: "Abandon all objectives! Remaining troops, evacuate immediately! Evacuate at all costs!!"

However, with ghosts and evil spirits surrounding them, retreat was no easy task.
