I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Chapter 141 Soul Demon

"Stop!"

A semi-transparent, pale white barrier separated the inside from the outside, creating a world between the man holding the child and Akira Higashino.

'Observe the aura!'

[Name: Kazuhiro Nozaki]

[Fortune: Light Blue]

[…]

[Qi consumption 100]

[Name: Chisa Tahara (***)]

[Luck: Blue]

[...]

The former was fine, but the little girl who was unconscious was in a strange condition.

In this situation, either she herself is very special, with some remarkable hidden identity, such as a reincarnation of a god, or the daughter of some great deity, or her true name was not read out by the Qi Observation Technique which only consumes 100 points of luck.

Or perhaps she isn't just herself; there's something else inside her.

"what!"

In this situation, when Nozaki Kazuhiro suddenly saw two adults and one child, one man and two women, three well-dressed figures, he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and glanced at the building behind him. He quickly limped forward, wanting to escape as far away as possible. As he walked, he shouted a warning to the three guys.

"Hey! It's dangerous here! Get out of here!"

The instant he approached the edge of the barrier, a white arm appeared out of thin air and gently touched his leg, instantly creating a wound from which blood flowed. Nozaki Kazuhiro, who was already limping, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground with a groan, the child he had been holding falling to the side.

Fortunately, the power that prevented the wound from healing was contained by Senkō Kagenji under Akira's will.

Nozaki Kazuhiro wanted to pick up Chisa.

Keigo Akira, who had been observing all of this, spoke up, "I advise you not to do this. Get away from her as soon as possible. There's something wrong with her."

"What nonsense are you talking about! She's just a child!" Nozaki Kazuhiro roared, his bloodshot eyes wide, as if suddenly provoked.

"I've never met a child whose true name I can't understand at a glance," Higashino Akira said calmly, not angry at the other party's attitude, after all, he was not a person who was easily angered or held grudges.

"You can leave, but she can't."

"I don't have time to argue with you. You can only choose to accept or refuse and continue to stay inside the barrier with her."

As he spoke, Higashino Akira's superhuman spiritual power emanated, slightly affecting his emotions. "Tell me, what happened inside? Have you seen this woman, Higa Makoto?"

Upon suddenly hearing the familiar name, Nozaki Kazuhiro's pupils contracted, and the words he was about to say remained on his lips.

"She's my girlfriend. Do you know Makoto?"

"We're not very close; I just received her call for help and came to check on her."

Looking at the other person's young, clean, and handsome face, Nozaki Kazuhiro's lips twitched, and his head slumped slightly. Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief after his gaze swept over the stunningly beautiful woman behind that guy, a woman with long brown hair who was many times prettier than his girlfriend and whose beauty was on a completely different level.

Afterwards, having let go of his resistance and influenced by the other person's extraordinary charm, Nozaki Kazuhiro gradually recounted what had happened in the building behind them.

The story begins with a man who had previously sought an exorcism from Makoto Higa, but failed and died. Unable to let go of his obsession, he continued to haunt his family. Furthermore, the man's wife had an affair with his best friend, and even his death was related to his brother. The long-term lack of family love caused the lonely little girl to summon a being called the Po-nu-ma, a being composed of the vengeful spirits of all abandoned children since ancient times. The Po-nu-ma wanted to take Chisa away, while Makoto Higa wanted to keep and adopt the girl, leading to a confrontation between the two sides, and she was severely injured.

Even so, half-dead, she still refused to give up and even called for her awesome older sister to save her life. In order to save her strength to deal with a stronger being, her older sister called for a bunch of support to prepare to use a ritual to banish the Po-Xu Demon. However, the other party was too persistent with the little girl Chisa, and Higa Makoto was too reluctant to part with her. She was controlled by the Po-Xu Demon several times to interrupt the ritual process.

This guy wasn't much better. It's just that other people's younger sisters have their older sisters tolerating their silliness when they act foolishly, but when he acted foolishly, he got punched by his sister-in-law and fell into a peaceful sleep. When he woke up, he still wanted to act foolishly, saying that Chisa was still a child, completely ignoring the fact that this little girl had actively summoned and tamed the Poki, causing the exorcist group downstairs to be wiped out. Together with Higa Makoto, he refused and stopped his older sister from banishing the little girl along with the Poki.

In the end, the awesome older sister gave in, not wanting to waste any more time dragging it out. She cast a protective spell on him and used a powerful backhand strike to knock him off the balcony of a seven or eight-story building while he was holding the child.

Then, as Higashino Akira saw, he not only survived the fall from such a height, but also bounced around quite quickly, except for limping.

As Nozaki Kazuhiro recounted the story, Higashino Akira, whose physical condition had improved and whose eyesight had twice been enhanced to levels far exceeding those of ordinary people, noticed a short-haired woman with pink hair jogging out of the apartment building entrance, leaning against the wall.

It is Makoto Higa.

Bao Yue tugged at the hem of Dongye Ming's clothes, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

This time, Akira Higashino nodded and did not refuse her again.

According to Nozaki Kazuhiro, the big boss inside, Higa Makoto's older sister, is indeed a very strong being. If it weren't for conserving power, he probably would have already resolved everything. With her as a backup, there's no fear of any unexpected events.

Let's go!

Xiao Yexiao gave a soft cheer, her expression still calm, but you could faintly feel her excitement.

Watching this little third-grade elementary school girl, with her short legs, carrying a bunch of round dolls in a large net, rush into the barrier and set up another layer of formation around the apartment building, Higashino Akira summoned another of his top henchmen and assigned him to her side.

"I'll lend you the courtesan first. She's good at long battles and group battles, so you won't have trouble getting those graduates back later."

"Lord Higashino, you like..."

"Thank you, but I'm not interested in little lolis."

Behind her, Takatsuki Eiko covered her mouth and chuckled as she listened to the amusing conversation between the two. Although it was a bit of a pity that she couldn't go in for the adventure, there was nothing she could do about it.

I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm out alone with Yexiaojiang.

Meanwhile, Akira Higashino turned his attention to Makoto Higa, who had finished talking to her boyfriend about the current situation, picked up the little girl again, and was looking at him with stubborn, pleading eyes, without saying a word.

"Mr. Higashino..."

"Feel sorry."

Higashino Akira interrupted her before she could say anything rude. Two pale gold female spirits dressed in shrine maiden outfits appeared out of thin air on either side of him. They raised their hands toward the woman, or rather, the little girl in her arms, gathering spiritual energy. They were ready to attack at any moment if they took another step forward.

Chapter 142 I Have a Plan!

A dozen minutes later, a torrent of blood suddenly gushed out from the balcony of the apartment building.

Then, flames soared into the sky within the barrier, and golden butterflies danced in the air.

Finally, peace returned.

Two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerged from the exit at the bottom of the building.

One was dressed in a pure white shrine maiden's outfit, with mottled bloodstains on her body.

Another small figure was dragging a large net bag containing a locked doll with one hand, while the other hand tightly hugged the neck of a purple kitten doll that was still trembling and struggling, with blood flowing from its eyes.

The gorgeously dressed, alluring, and beautiful courtesan spirit returned to Higashino Akira's side. Her complexion had subtly improved, but she still dared not rebel. After respectfully bowing to him, she disappeared.

As Baoyue approached, she nodded to the deity.

Higashino Akira cautiously used his aura-gazing technique to observe their true names, and only after confirming that they were correct did he allow Thousand Souls to dispel the barrier.

[Name: Higa Kotoko]

[Qualification: Shenzhen Gold]

For the first time, what was determined in a woman was not her luck, but her aptitude, and at such a high level.

Is this woman even human?

Higashino Akira pondered to himself.

Without pausing, she walked up to the seemingly young, god-like being and bowed respectfully.

"Kotsuko Higa, thank you for your help."

It was only then that Higashino Akira saw her face clearly. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she was quite elegant and had a strong and unique temperament. However, a long, twisted scar on her face below her left eye ruined her overall beauty and gave her an air of authority and unapproachability.

"It was just a coincidence."

Higashino Akira nodded, not taking too much credit.

After all, they are the ones who benefited the most.

"May I ask if you, Qinzi, know your name?"

During their conversation, the young, rebellious couple, carrying their child, came to the side, interrupting their exchange. Without warning, Higa Kotoko turned around and punched Nozaki Kazuhiro's boyfriend in the face, sending him slumping to the ground into a deep sleep.

Then he turned around and bowed slightly to Higashino Akira apologetically.

"I will never forget your kindness. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future. Makoto has my contact information."

"I still have some family matters and business to finish up here. Please forgive me for not being able to see you off properly."

With a nonchalant wave, Higashino Akira turned and left with the Baoyue sisters, showing no intention of staying any longer.

After all, the Po-Xu Demon has been dealt with now. So many people died, and they were probably all quite famous figures in the psychic world. We'll be busy for a while.

Those things were none of his business, and he had no interest in getting involved.

Behind.

Seeing her older sister's still-composed expression, Makoto Higa hugged the little girl Chisa in her arms even tighter, and took two steps back in fear.

"The Po-Xu Demon has been severely injured and captured, but as long as there are still aborted and abandoned children, new Po-Xu Demons will appear sooner or later. This child has His mark on her. If we don't deal with her, those vengeful spirits will gather on her first, rather than the one who was captured."

"do not want!"

Makoto Higa thought her sister wasn't going to let Chisa go yet, and as her sister kept getting closer, she could only shake her head and back away, tears streaming down her face.

then…

Snapped--!

A slap landed on her face from her older sister. Higa Kotoko immediately pulled the little girl out of her sister's arms, pressed her head down, and began chanting a Shinto exorcism incantation.

Ignoring the terrifying sight of the little girl suddenly opening her eyes, her eyes gray and white, and her face covered in purplish-black blood vessels showing through her skin, without the active interference of the Po-Xu Demon and her silly sister, she easily and smoothly severed the connection between the little girl and the Po-Xu Demon with the flow of spiritual energy.

Then he tossed her back into his sister's arms.

"Be prepared, her health will not be good for a long time to come, and with your current life and financial situation, it will be difficult to take good care of her."

"You should leave before the cleanup crew arrives."

Overwhelmed with mixed emotions, Makoto Higa thanked her sister Chisa with a grateful hug, then turned and ran away down the dark cement road.

"Bring your boyfriend along too."

Kotoko Higa kicked Nozaki Kazuhiro, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, and the violent movement woke him up.

Then I ignored them.

He walked alone toward the altar littered with corpses, intending to see if there were any people he could save and to perform a ritual to help their souls find peace.
