Chapter 71 Main Storyline Acceleration

——It’s really, really shameful.

Sakiru never thought that she would fall to this point. After swallowing the dragon jade, her body continued to "shrink" and became smaller and smaller.

At first, when she "shrank" to the appearance of a fifteen-year-old girl, her demonic power was only reduced by one third.

Sakiru didn't take it too seriously at the time, as she thought she could control the "Dragon Jade" and regain control of her demonic power.

She didn't take this matter too seriously and immediately set off for Dewa Province.

However, after arriving in Dewa Province, Sakiru discovered that the "shrinkage" phenomenon had intensified further. Her body regressed to that of a fourteen-year-old, then a thirteen-year-old, then a twelve-year-old... and her demonic power further diminished.

Later, she turned into a ten-year-old girl with very little demonic energy.

As a result, he fell into the trap of villains during the journey and was almost captured by human traffickers.

Fortunately, she was rescued by the people from the Tzu Chi Institute before that.

"Although I am very grateful to the Tzu Chi Center, I also have important things to do and cannot continue wasting my time here."

She was just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape while being forced to take a shower, but she was still caught.

However, Sakiru never expected that when she was at her lowest point, she would have such an awkward reunion with the "Young Master" in this way.

Fortunately, the other party did not recognize her.

It should be that he does not remember himself, and his memory may be manipulated.

Besides, there is no way the young master would recognize himself after he “shrank” and turned into a ten-year-old girl.

Saki sighed inwardly.

"This time, I'm pretty sure that even if the aura has changed, the blood shouldn't be fake. Furthermore, the core should be at the soul level..."

Last time, there wasn't much contact and she wasn't very sure. This time, the young master stayed in this orphanage for a long time. She observed him secretly and became more and more certain of her guess.

Baijie didn't notice that he was being peeped at by a young girl in the corner.

"We've disturbed you for a long time today, and it's getting late," he persuaded Ye Ya, who had been chatting with "Miss Zhenyu" for half a day.

Afterwards, Baijie also needs to send back the leaf buds and the purchased items.

"Ye Ya, we should leave too."

"Ah, that's right."

Ye Ya finally came to her senses and felt a little embarrassed.

"I came out to buy something, so I have to go back early."

"Well... next time if there's a chance."

This was also the first time Hiiragi Hiruko had met a same-sex friend whom she could talk to. She took a deep breath to adjust her mood and spoke hesitantly:

"We can find another chance to talk."

"Of course no problem."

Ye Ya put on a happy smile.

Hiiragi Hiruko seemed to be infected by her smile, and a small, shy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

……

"Who are they?"

After Baijie, Yeya and their group left, the aunt-like woman, Achen, the director of this Tzu Chi home, asked Hiiragi Hizashi in confusion.

Hiiragi Hiruko said hesitantly, "That... that's my friend."

"Friends?"

Achen sighed, "Miko-sama, I shouldn't say this from my position... But you should also be aware that friends are a bit of a burden for you."

When Hiiragi Hiruko heard this, her head drooped slightly. When Tatsuko saw this, she didn't say anything else.

"never mind."

Achen shook his head.

"Anyway, this isn't the main Shinzakura Club, so I can't control you. You can make your own decision. Besides, I can't kick you out..."

"Achen, you...?"

Hiiragi Hiruko was stunned.

She kept blinking, as if she was chewing on what Achen meant, and then showed a surprised expression.

"did you mean."

"Next time, you should take the initiative to invite people over to play."

Achen smiled.

"By the way, would you like some yokan?"

"want!"

……

It was dusk, and as the sun was making its last struggle, a ragged figure staggered along the street.

This man looked like a beggar, with wounds all over his body and rags on his clothes. He was barefoot and panting.

"Hey... man, you look a little bad!?"

A kind passerby approached to ask, but was pushed away by the man.

"W-what are you doing?"

Passersby were thrown to the ground.

"roll!"

He roared, pushed aside several pedestrians in his way, and stumbled forward. Every step the barefoot man took left a trail of blood on the road.

Passersby on the street stared at his back with wide eyes.

……

The man walked faster and faster, his skin began to turn red, his shoulders shook up and down, and he kept breathing heavily.

Passersby quickly stepped back, as they all realized that this man was not normal.

"It's so uncomfortable... so hot... so painful..."

The man's skin turned dark red, his forehead bulged, he let out a cry of pain, two tumors grew on his temples, his muscles and bones bulged unnaturally, and his spine made crackling sounds.

Next, his body became more and more distorted, a horn-like object emerged from his forehead, his face became more and more ferocious, steam came out from the left and right corners of his grinning mouth, and his raised eyeballs were filled with murderous intent.

"A ghost?"

Someone pointed at the man and screamed.

The man who had turned into a ghost glared at the people fiercely. "Aa ...

He let out a ferocious cry.

——In an instant.

A strong wind suddenly blew, and the lanterns in front of the shops swayed together. Many dead leaves and paper scraps on the street made a rustling sound and flew from near to far.

The crowd also let out a cry of terror. The shop assistants and clerks stifled their screams, their bodies frozen, all eyes fixed on the ghost.

At the intersection, passersby were panicking, running in all directions, mothers clutching their wailing children, and street vendors, too busy packing up their stalls, ran out.

"what happened?"

When Baijie and Yeya were returning, they just crossed the intersection and noticed this scene - the road was full of shouts and roars, and the crowd was rushing towards this side from behind. Baijie immediately realized that something was wrong.

The strong evil energy irritates the skin and the air is filled with murderous intent.

Whoops!

A strong wind blew, and the long flag hanging in front of the rice shop fluttered violently as if it was torn into thousands of pieces.

The next moment, there was a deafening roar of shattering sound.

“W-What happened!?”

Ye Ya turned around and saw the street behind her was filled with dust.

Wails and screams were heard, followed by the sound of something breaking, and the crowd ran over.

Bai Jie's nerves were tense and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"...filthy ghost?"

His sight was also locked on the monster that was covered in red.

"Ouch! Ouch!!"

At the end of the cross street, on the straight path with rows of paved roads on both sides of the street, a big red ghost stood in the middle.

The ghost was nine feet tall, with red skin covered with black patterns, and was surrounded by an evil miasma that was invisible to ordinary people.

——Damn it?
——Why does this thing appear here?
In an instant, Baijie's face turned gloomy. At the same time he noticed the evil ghost, the nine-foot-tall monster also stared at him.

"Is it because I'm a psychic that I was targeted first?"

In an instant, Bai Jie felt like he was being locked in, and he quickly stuffed the invisible amulet into Ye Ya's hand.

"Brother Baijie..."

"I've infused the amulet with spiritual power. Ghosts won't notice you without it. Get out of here quickly, or find a safe place to hide."

Baijie didn't have time to say much. He pushed her hard and turned to run forward. Since he had been targeted, there was no point in using invisibility.

"People attacked by demons will also be transformed into demons. If the number of victims increases... the number of demons will also increase. Damn it!"

Baijie did not bring the seven-section gun when he went out. He only had a ninja sword in his hand. He drew the sword and ran towards the evil spirit with all his strength.

The evil ghost was originally holding a vendor with one hand, but his attention was attracted by Baijie, so he dropped the man.

The man fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.

"Strange, what's going on? Since the commotion started, no other demons have appeared. Why is there only one..."

Bai Jie has been emitting spiritual power wavelengths for detection, but he has not sensed the breath of other evil spirits.

By the way, Tenshin Sakura didn’t collapse either?

As he ran, he looked up at the giant tree covering the sky. The cherry tree was still emitting a faint light.

boom!
The ghost overturned the open-air stall and threw it towards him. Bai Jie came to his senses and quickly dodged. He decided to buy some time and used the collar to convey the information to the second lady Ge Hua.

"We'll just have to buy some time. Kasumi Castle has the lord's guards, as well as the people from the Kamizakura headquarters. Furthermore, the main family's exorcist is also here... If it's just one evil spirit, there's still a way to deal with it!"

As long as Tenshin Sakura remains safe, the various powers of the filthy demons will be suppressed, preventing widespread infection. According to the game, as long as timely action is taken, the crisis can be averted.

Baijie decided to give it a try.

"Go."

He raised his right hand and threw a flash bomb. The flash exploded, and the ghost roared, enraged, and jumped up hard.

A chill ran through his body, and Baijie activated the "Shrinking the Earth" technique without hesitation. The next second, a huge figure stepped down hard.

Peng!
The filthy ghost fell from the sky, and its huge body shook the earth.

The street was struck, shaking violently. The heavy impact caused the stone slabs on the ground to flip, and countless pieces of gravel were sent flying into the air.

At the critical moment, Baijie successfully "shrinks the earth" and moves to the roof next to him. He jumped down from the air and the tip of the ninja sword pierced the right arm of the evil spirit.

The evil ghost roared and waved his right hand. Baijie disappeared in the air again and used the "shrinking the earth" to jump behind the ghost.

"Hey... come to the side."

He wanted to suck the evil ghost to a place far away from the crowd, and ran on the eaves of the shops. The ghost let out strange roars and also ran, chasing Baijie's figure like a clumsy bear.

"What a hassle... This thing is impossible to kill."

Baijie jumped around on the roof while looking at his ninja sword. The blade seemed to be corroded by something, and the runes engraved on it were blurred.

The Yellow Springs Filthy Ghosts are worse than the Returned Soul Corpses. They possess the characteristic of being immortal and can recover from any attack - they themselves are created from the Yellow Springs netherworld and are naturally immune to death. After all, the Filthy Ghosts themselves are "dead things".

"To completely defeat the Yellow Springs Fiends and eliminate them, we need to obtain the quest item 'Yellow Springs Household Deed'... However, that quest is too difficult for me."

While Bai Jie was running and thinking, a huge figure fell from the sky, blasted the tiles with a bang, and stood in front of him.

"This guy--"

The huge arm came crashing down with full force, so fast.

Baijie's consciousness was a beat slow.

"well done."

Suddenly, a very faint voice sounded.

The sword flashed, and dirty black blood splattered everywhere.

The demon's right hand flew out and fell on the street.

The knife flashed again, and the ghost's skull shattered, and its eyeballs flew out.

"...With your limited strength, you've been able to hold on for this long. I'm impressed."

The man's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

In an instant, the evil ghost flew in all directions as if it had disintegrated, and its broken head and eyeballs fell to the ground.

At the same time, several figures appeared. They were the "Night Walkers" dressed in black. As they landed, they used barrier techniques to seal the ghost's remains and then sealed them in a container.

Uncle?
Baijie was extremely shocked. Behind the shattered body of the evil ghost, he saw the figure of Jiujiutsu Ichigui again.
