The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

After all, none of the things he possesses are things that those psychic families in Tokyo could possibly have.

But he never expected that Kagura Tsuchimiya would be able to produce the Killing Stone...

Shifting your gaze to the inside of the wooden box, several scarlet stones of varying sizes are neatly arranged in a row, lying quietly at the bottom of the box.

Judging by appearance, all the stones combined are about half the size of the one Hachiman Hikigaya exchanged before.

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look. But I can't guarantee a cure."

"Thank you so much!"

...........

"Hey, Onii-chan, you're going out again?!"

Having successfully persuaded Hachiman Hikigaya to help, Kagura Tsuchimiya didn't want to delay any longer.

Upon hearing that her friend was going to kidnap her older brother, Komachi, who had been happily playing games with Alice Feuer, suddenly became complicated.

"Don't overthink it! I'm going there on business!"

Seeing Komachi's eyes darting around, Hachiman Hikigaya guessed that the guy was daydreaming again.

"hey-hey...."

Having her thoughts exposed in public, Komachi awkwardly scratched her cheek, then told Hachiman Hikigaya to go home early.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Hachiman Hikigaya followed Kagura Tsuchimiya into her family's luxury car.

Just as the car was heading towards Tokyo, Kagura Tsuchimiya received a phone call and her expression suddenly turned serious.

"what happened?"

"Um, Sister Ming is in trouble too."

Putting down her phone, Kagura Tsuchimiya said weakly, her head bowed.

"The same situation as that of Isayama Yomi?"

Upon hearing Kagura Tsuchimiya's explanation, Hachiman Hikigaya raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, she was found by the roadside early this morning. Sister Ming is in the same situation as Huang Quan now. And there were many signs of a struggle where she was found..."

"So that means someone is deliberately targeting the Isayama family?"

Although Hachiman Hikigaya had only met Mei Isayama once, Mei was one of the few psychics whose strength had reached a high level.

Unless it was deliberately targeted, Hachiman Hikigaya found it hard to believe that two outstanding descendants of the Isayama family would both suffer misfortune in such a short period of time, and that they would even appear to be in the exact same state afterward...

"It's not certain yet, but the Isayama family is really in crisis this time!"

Chapter 333 Poverty is the main reason

At the same time that Hachiman Hikigaya and Kagura Tsuchimiya were heading to Tokyo, the hospital where Yomi Isayama was staying became incredibly noisy.

"Damn it, who did this?!"

Looking at Isayama Mei in the ward, whose condition was exactly the same as that of the outsider, Isayama Yu angrily slammed his fist against the wall.

"Calm down, You, this matter is not as simple as we thought!"

Seeing his younger brother's angry expression, Isayama Naraku sighed inwardly, but put on the dignified demeanor of the head of the family.

"But brother, You..."

"Of course I understand how you feel right now. I'm just as heartbroken as you are about what happened to You. But it's precisely in situations like this that we need to stay calm, right?"

"Indeed, please forgive my rudeness!"

Yu Isayama, who had been suppressed by Naraku Isayama for many years, was originally angry, but under Naraku's power, he had no choice but to compromise.

Seeing that Isayama Yu had temporarily calmed down, Isayama Naraku turned his gaze back to the ward.

When he saw Mei Isayama's empty, lifeless eyes, he finally couldn't help but sigh again.

Have the heads of each branch family been notified?

With his back to Isayama Yu, Isayama Naraku inquired about the current situation of the Isayama family, trying his best not to reveal his emotions.

"When the incident happened in Ming, the heads of the three branch families were already notified, and I think they will arrive soon."

"Is that so? Have the other families in Tokyo been notified?"

Although Isayama Naraku's desire to become the head of the Kai family made him feel very uneasy about his younger brother.

However, the other party's high efficiency in handling the matter eased Isayama Naraku's expression considerably.

After all, with the main family's heir already in trouble, the Isayama family cannot afford any more accidents.

"The Tsuchimiya family and other families have been notified. As for the Iizuna family..."

At this point, a troubled look suddenly appeared on Isayama Yu's face.

What happened to the Iizuna family?

Unfortunately, it was the Iizuna family that caused the problem, which surprised Naraku Isayama.

After all, the Tsuchimiya, Isayama, and Iitsuna families have been allies for over a hundred years, and their loyalty to each other is extremely high.

Not to mention, his adopted daughter, Yomi Isayama, is engaged to the next head of the Iizuna family.

Logically and emotionally, it's impossible for anything to happen to the Izuna family at this point.

"The head of the Iitsuna family said he hopes his son can break off his engagement with Yomi..."

Having said what Isayama Mei had said before his accident, Isayama Yu was naturally quite happy to hear this news.

After all, without the support of the Iizuna family, it would be easier for Mei Isayama to seize the position of head of the Isayama family.

However, at this critical juncture when both Isayama Yomi and Isayama Yuu are facing unexpected misfortunes, the Iizuna family is proposing to dissolve the engagement. This clearly indicates their lack of confidence in the Isayama family's future and their desire to sever ties as soon as possible...

As a man of the Isayama family, he obviously could not tolerate such a humiliating situation!

"Should we annul the engagement?"

Compared to the extremely agitated Isayama Yu, Isayama Naraku was also furious upon hearing the news, but in the end he managed to restrain himself.

There is no other reason.

Just as the Iitsuna family feared, if the Isayama head family cannot get out of its current predicament, the huge family will soon fall apart.

"If you want to annul the engagement, then so be it."

After a moment of silence, Isayama Naraku agreed to this almost shameful request.

After all, even if we don't expect the Iizuna family to lend a helping hand, we can't let them kick us when we're down.

"Big brother!"

"That's settled then! Go and give the Iitsuzu family your answer."

"Yes, I understand..."

No matter how unwilling he was, Isayama Yu had no choice but to grit his teeth and obey Isayama Naraku's orders.

"The Iizuna family..."

Watching his younger brother's departing figure, Isayama Naraku gripped his cane even tighter.

Although he didn't understand why the Iizuna family would so easily break their alliance, if the Isayama family could overcome this difficulty, he would definitely repay this insult tenfold!

.........

When Kagura Tsuchimiya arrived at the hospital with Hachiman Hikigaya, Naraku Isayama had already returned to the Isayama family's residence with Yu Isayama and was discussing matters with the heads of the various branch families.

"Big brother, I'm counting on you from now on."

Thanks to her status as the heir of the Tsuchimiya family, Tsuchimiya Kagura easily led Hikigaya Hachiman into the ward, which was heavily guarded by the Isayama family's spiritualists.

Looking at the two people in the room who seemed to have lost their souls, Kagura Tsuchimiya earnestly made a request after sending the guards away.

"I will try my best."

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't give a definitive answer regarding his expectations for Kagura Tsuchimiya.

After all, he didn't understand anything about medicine; the diagnosis was actually made by the system in his mind.

If the system is also unsure of the cause, or if the treatment plan provided by the system is too complicated, then he can only apologize.

After seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya was about to be diagnosed, Kagura Tsuchimiya wisely left the ward.

The already spacious ward fell silent the moment the door closed.

"System, what's wrong with those two?"

Silently urging the system to scan the two people on the bed, Hachiman Hikigaya then asked for the reason.

"The examination revealed that both individuals were physically healthy, but there was a gap in their spiritual development."

"vacancy?"

"Simply put, the two people before you are merely empty shells; their souls are nowhere to be found. Incidentally, the system also detected control marks on their bodies. Based on these clues, it's highly likely they have been turned into puppets."

"puppet!"

Upon hearing the system's deduction, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly turned around and looked at the two people on the bed.

He didn't know the exact strength of Isayama Mei, but it was definitely high-level, while Isayama Yomi was an existence that was infinitely close to the special level.

Without exaggeration, their strength is among the best of humanity, excluding psionicists.

Even those two were turned into puppets, doesn't that mean...?

Is there a way to save them?

Upon receiving the unexpected bad news, Hachiman Hikigaya's mood instantly soured.

However, the most urgent task at hand is to wake up the two people in the bed. As for whether there are any other puppets and who made the puppets, those questions can only be asked after the two people wake up.

"There are many ways, but the host does not meet any of them at present."

The system's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Hachiman Hikigaya, chilling him to the bone.

"why?"

Hachiman Hikigaya frowned and asked for the reason.
