I Am a Heroic Spirit

There are a few monsters whose strength exceeds that of second-rate heroic spirits, and they are very rare. They are either in Kyoto or in Ukiyo-e-cho. As for Tokyo, the immortals are still sealed and will not be unsealed for at least one or two years.

"Forget it, I can't sleep anyway, so I'll go check it out."

Having been awakened, Zhang Luo had no intention of continuing to sleep. He turned over and jumped out of the window, running towards the direction where the evil spirit came from.

Not far across the street is the Maori Detective Agency. At the second-floor window, Conan, who was awakened by an ominous aura, lay on the window and watched Zhang Luo leave with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Is he going to meet his accomplices?"

When Conan thought of the chill he had felt before and looked at Zhang Luo's strange behavior, he immediately thought in this direction. He had never relaxed his suspicion and vigilance towards Zhang Luo.

He wanted to catch up with Zhang Luo, but Zhang Luo disappeared from Conan's sight in a few seconds. Conan didn't even have time to take out his watch, and could only go back to bed unwillingly.

Following the direction of the evil spirit, Zhang Luo walked for more than 500 meters and bypassed two streets before he stopped. What appeared in front of him was a college.

"Qingdeng Academy, an unknown school, doesn't seem to be the setting of any plot."

After looking at the name of the college in front of him, Zhang Luo went around in another direction, climbed over the wall and entered the college.

Relying on the skills he learned from the gymnastics team, Zhang Luo avoided the sight of patrolling security guards and sneaked all the way to his destination - a seemingly abandoned school building.

"Abandoned school building? Why are haunted places always in abandoned school buildings? It was in Nura: Rise of the Nuratsu no Mago and Natsume's Book of Friends." Hidden in the darkness, Zhang Luo complained silently.

"Tattoo..."

Just as Zhang Luo was about to enter the school building to find out what was going on, heavy footsteps were heard and light shone from another direction. Zhang Luo hurriedly stepped back to avoid it.

A security guard holding a flashlight came from the side of the teaching building and passed by the abandoned school building without even looking in this direction.

After the security guard's figure disappeared from sight, Zhang Luo was about to walk out of the shadows, but he saw the figure of an adult man walking out from the grass not far away.

Zhang Luo straightened his body, then slowly retreated and observed carefully in secret.

Before the adult man could come out of the bushes, another figure came from another direction.

"Huang Quan?" Zhang Luo was a little surprised, but he soon understood. Although the demonic energy only erupted for a moment and disappeared the next second, Jianshan Huang Quan, who had been working outside, would not neglect it. It seemed that the adult man was also a person in the spiritual industry who discovered the demonic energy.

The adult man and Isayama Yomi each spotted the other, but neither of them attempted to evade the enemy. After all, anyone who came at this hour was either a staff member of the academy or an exorcist investigating the demonic aura. Unlike the adult man's composure, Isayama Yomi watched him warily.

"Hello, I'm the freelance exorcist Nueno Meisuke, a teacher at the elementary school next door." When the adult man saw Isayama Yomi's wary look, he suddenly understood what was going on. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he quickly took out an ID.

"Hello, I'm Jianshan Huangquan from the Countermeasures Room." When Jianshan Huangquan saw the ID of the adult man, his expression relaxed and showed some kindness.

Both sides' reactions were perfectly normal. After all, the demonic energy erupting from this place was already equivalent to that of a major demon. A bit stronger, it could rival the Nura clan's chief dog general. No normal exorcist would be willing to intervene here unless they had a special reason. Isayama Yomizumi came because he was a member of the Countermeasures Office, and Nueno Meisuke came because he was a teacher in this area. Both had their reasons to be there. "Yomizumi, see you again," Zhang Luo emerged from the shadows and greeted Isayama Yomizumi...

Neither Isayama Yomi nor Nue No Meisuke noticed Zhang Luo hiding in the shadows. When they saw Zhang Luo appear, they were startled and subconsciously assumed a fighting stance.

"It's you. Why are you here? I don't have money to ask you for help." Seeing that the person was Zhang Luo, Jianshan Huangquan breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a bad mood.

"It doesn't matter. I just came here to take a look at the situation. I have no intention of fighting with real weapons. It's the same for you. Or rather, do you have the ability to face such a big monster face to face?" Zhang Luo said calmly.

After exchanging a few words and confirming the purpose of the three parties, the three entered the abandoned school building.

"It's really shabby. I don't know how many years it has been abandoned." Walking in the school building, Zhang Luo complained while using a black key to cut through a spider web.

"Keep your voice down." Jianshan Huangquan followed Zhang Luo closely, looking at the spider webs around him with an expression of agreement on his face.

"It's a very normal situation. Almost every school has an abandoned school building. My elementary school also has one. When it is not in use, it is just left there and cleaned up when needed." Nueno Meisuke, who was walking aside, said in a low voice.

After walking around the first floor, the three found nothing and went up to the second floor.

"Tsk, there's nothing."

"That shouldn't be the case. I heard from my cousin that they only completed it once. Maybe they didn't complete a hundred, so it didn't work."

"But it's full. I counted them clearly. There are a hundred in total, five for each person. That's more than enough."

"Then why is there no movement?"

At this time, the voices of men and women were heard from upstairs. The three of them looked at each other, retreated quietly, and hid in a secluded place.

After more than ten seconds, twenty students who looked like junior high school students came out of the corridor one after another, chattering.

"How about we do it again tomorrow?"

"Okay!"

"Let's go somewhere else tomorrow. It's too dirty here."

"No, only an abandoned school building that has been haunted can increase the success rate. If you go to an ordinary place, you won't be able to summon it."

"Forget it. I won't come tomorrow. It's not interesting at all. Besides, the ghost stories are too scary. I didn't summon the ghost, but I was scared enough by a hundred ghost stories."

"Me too, it's better not to play this kind of game."

"It doesn't matter if you don't come. We'll continue tomorrow."

"it is good."

The faces of the three men darkened. It was obvious that a few students wanted to play a supernatural game to commit suicide. Who knows which big monster they summoned, and they want to commit suicide again tomorrow.

"It seems that we need to teach these naughty kids a lesson." Jianshan Huangquan said with a dark face, and was about to stand up.

"That's right. As a teacher, I want to let these children know what they should and should not do." Nueno Meisuke also stood up and was about to walk out.

"Don't be impulsive," Zhang Luo grabbed the corners of the two people's clothes with one hand each and pulled them back. Then he whispered, "If you go out like this, how are you going to explain your problem? We are not from this school. You ran to someone else's school in the middle of the night for no reason. You don't want to explain that you are here to catch ghosts, do you?"

"Then what do you say we should do? Just watch these nasty brats leave." Jianshan Huangquan squatted down again and looked at Zhang Luo with Nueno Meisuke.

"Don't they want to see a ghost? Then let them see it," Zhang Luoyin said with a smile. "Anyway, since those students came out alive, it means that the big monster they summoned has left. We don't need to worry about anything else."

"Good idea." Seeing Zhang Luo's malicious smile, Jianshan Huangquan immediately reacted, also revealed a sinister smile, and gave Zhang Luo a thumbs up.

"I agree. It's time to let these naughty kids know how powerful we are." Nueno Meisuke also nodded.

"Leave it to me, my illusion is not an ordinary trick." Zhang Luo said, sneaking into the dark and moving outwards. Jianshan Huangquan and Nueno Meisuke also followed him out of the school building.

The incident started seven hours ago when Class 3, Grade 2 of Qingdeng Academy was leaving school.

As soon as the school bell rang, all the students went to the classroom to pick up their backpacks and went home. However, there was a student A who did not follow the usual path.

Student A grabbed Student B, who was about to leave, and asked mysteriously, "B, do you know Amway?"

Student B was confused. What the hell?

"No, do you know the abandoned school building behind our teaching building?" Student A changed the topic and continued asking.

"Abandoned school building? I heard it's haunted!" Student C suddenly rushed over from the side and said nervously and excitedly.

"Not only that, you don't know, someone once disappeared in the abandoned school building, and the school building was abandoned after that." Student D was about to leave, but after hearing ABC's conversation, he stayed and spoke.

"No way, are there really ghosts?" Student E passed by and interrupted.

"You don't believe it, do you? The incident in Tokyo District 11 a few months ago clearly showed that there are ghosts in this world." Student C asked in surprise.

"Where are the ghosts in Area 11? Heroic spirits are not the same as ghosts." Student E retorted.

"Why not? Heroic spirits are spirits, ghosts are spirits, and there are also exorcists and gods of death. Don't they all prove that ghosts really exist?" Student F also joined the discussion.

"There's no doubt about ghosts. Now listen to me, I heard that every year a few students who don't believe in superstitions take candles to the abandoned school building in the middle of the night to play Hyaku Monogatari, but in the end they can't find even a hair." Student A's voice became lower and lower, as if he was deliberately trying to create a horror atmosphere.

"A, you don't want to go, do you? Even if there weren't those scary background stories, I wouldn't want to go to a place like an abandoned school building in the middle of the night!" Student B said excitedly.

"It's okay, it sounds exciting. By the way, speaking of the monsters in the Hundred Tales, it is said that the Aoandon will appear when the 100th ghost story is told!" Student D became inexplicably excited.

"Aoandon? Is it the lantern-shaped monster in Hyaku Monogatari? I've seen the picture scroll and it looks quite scary." said student F.

"Speaking of Qingxuandeng, I have some reliable information!" Student A said with a blush on his face, quite proudly.

"Tell me about it." Student C asked with interest.

"I heard that our school was named after Aoandon. There used to be a legend about the powerful Aoandon and Onmyoji in this place, and a Aoandon was sealed in the school." Student A said mysteriously.

"It sounds interesting. When are we going to the abandoned school building?" Student F also joined in.

"Gather at school at 8 o'clock tonight and go to the back building," said Student A.

Chapter 144 Green Lantern?

Back to the present, the students and their classmates have arrived in front of the wall and are about to climb over it to leave.

At this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew over, and a faint sound was heard.

"What is that?" Student A stopped and looked around curiously.

"Little A, what's wrong?" Student B asked in confusion when he saw Student A didn't move.

"There seems to be some sound." Student A said.

"Sound? No, maybe you heard it wrongly?" Student C listened carefully and found nothing, so he spoke.

"Is this really a ghost?" Student D asked timidly.

"Don't scare yourself, there are no ghosts!" Student E curled his lips. "What about the Green Lantern? What about the students disappearing every year? It's all a lie. If someone really disappeared, why hasn't the old school building been sealed? And what about the Green Lantern? Why would someone name a school after a ghost? It's clearly just a coincidence."

"There really is a green lantern!" Student A was about to explain, but a gust of wind blew, and large red maple leaves were stuck on the faces of the naughty children.

"Where does the wind come from?"

Student A brushed off the red and asked curiously.

"You, you, your face..."

The classmate next to him did not answer Student A's question, but pointed at Student A's face trembling with fear.

"Face? What's wrong with my face? Ah!!!" Student A reached out his hand to touch his face in confusion, then looked at his palm, only to see a pool of blood red in his hand, which was very thick and gave people a sticky feeling. Immediately, Student A screamed in horror.

"My sister carried her doll on her back and went to the garden to see the cherry blossoms. The doll cried for her mother, and the birds in the tree laughed... One day, Dad got drunk and picked up an axe and walked towards Mom. Dad, Dad, chopped her many times, and the red blood dyed the wall red. Mom rolled under the bed, her eyes still looking at me. Dad, Mom, why, why, it hurts so much. Then Dad asked me to help him, and we buried Mom under the tree. Then Dad raised the axe, peeled off my skin and made a doll..."

At this time, a gloomy wind blew from all directions, blood-red maple leaves flew everywhere, and a heart-pounding song was heard from among them.

"No way! There really is a ghost!"

A group of naughty kids huddled together, looking around in fear and trembling.

"I won't play anymore!"

A white ghost passed through Student B's sight, scaring him so much that he ran away. Perhaps because of the fear, his potential was unleashed, and Student B climbed over the wall, which was originally very difficult to climb over, in one go. Seeing this, the following students also plucked up their courage and prepared to climb over the wall to escape.

However, just when Student A's hands were pressing on the top of the wall, a cold touch covered the back of Student A's hands. At this moment, Student C suddenly screamed, loosened his hands, and fell off the wall. Student A was terrified, knowing that Student C must have been touched by the ghost hand as well. He wanted to go down, but his palm was grasped tightly. A huge force came, and Student A was dragged over.

Seeing this, the naughty kids quickly backed away from the wall. The next second, something was thrown from the other side of the wall and fell heavily on the ground. The naughty kids looked in the direction of the sound and suddenly heard louder screams. They saw more than ten pieces of body parts fell to the ground. On the head of Student A, the dead eyes were staring at them, making them feel cold in their hearts.

"Run!"

With a loud yell, the naughty kids fled in all directions. However, before they could run far, dense green flames surrounded them from all directions, blocking their escape route and slowly shrinking the encirclement. Accompanied by faint mournful music and ghostly figures appearing and disappearing from time to time, the psychological defenses of these naughty kids were destroyed in a few seconds, and they were scared unconscious one by one.

After the naughty kids fell down one after another, the funeral music stopped, and the figure of the female ghost in white and the green flames disappeared completely. After all, it was just an illusion, and it would naturally cease to exist if the recipient lost consciousness. In the eyes of the naughty kids, the broken bodies turned into a few pieces of soil.

"It's really scary."

A figure flipped over from the other side of the wall. It was Jianshan Huangquan, the one who sang the nursery rhyme just now.

"I hope this will teach them a lesson and they won't think about playing supernatural games again."

The ghost that appeared and disappeared in the darkness stopped moving and walked out from the darkness. This person was Nueno Meisuke.

"Of course, I guess they don't have the courage to do that." Zhang Luo also walked out from a corner of the wall.

"By the way, do you think that the things they talked about are related to the big monsters before?" Isayama Yomi frowned, thinking about the previous events and the conversation with the naughty kids, and felt extremely confused.

"According to them, the big monster should be Aoandon from Hyaku Monogatari, but..." Nueno Meisuke paused and frowned.

"But Aoandon is just a little devil from hell wandering around the gate of the underworld in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade. Although his strength is not weak, he is not a powerful monster either, at least not compared to those famous ghosts. It is impossible for him to burst out such a powerful demonic energy. With such a powerful demonic energy, the general of the Nura clan is probably no more than this." Zhang Luo knew what Nueno Meisuke meant and added.

Aoandon, from "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", the earliest legend was in the Edo period of Japan. It is said that the appearances are different, but they are all very scary ghosts. He is not a human being, but a little devil from hell. He often wanders at the gate of the underworld and will turn into the appearance of people we are familiar with to instigate people to play a game called One Hundred Demons Lantern, which can also be said to be a game of one hundred stories, and pull people into the ghost gate. Therefore, it is called a relatively dangerous monster in Japan.

"Indeed, the only high-level monsters like this are recorded as belonging to the Nura clan in Ukiyo-e-cho, which exists in Kumamoto Prefecture. It is said that there are also high-level monsters among the monsters sealed in Kyoto." Isayama Yomi nodded. Judging from the demonic energy that had erupted before, the owner of the demonic energy was already far superior to Type A. Even if he was weaker than the recorded monsters, he would not be much weaker.

After a brief and meaningless exchange, the three of them left, leaving only the naughty child on the ground.

A few seconds later, the cyan flames that should have dissipated appeared in this area again, but compared to the dense ones before, there were far fewer of them. The cyan flames quickly turned into more than ten butterflies emitting cyan light. A cyan lamp and a silver-haired girl in cyan clothes sitting on a lamppost suddenly appeared surrounded by the butterflies.

"Master Qin Luo, are you really not dead?"

The girl in green watched Zhang Luo leave, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

……

The next evening, on the first floor of the office, Zhang Luo, who had just completed a commission, had not yet sat down when he heard someone knocking on the door. He turned his head and looked outside, only to see a young man outside the glass door.

It's work again so soon.

Zhang Luo was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. The faster and more work came, the more benefits he would get, so there was no need to think about anything else.

Zhang Luo shouted, "Come in."

The young man outside pushed open the glass door and walked in. He looked around before looking at Zhang Luo. "Hello, is the director of this exorcism agency here?"
