A comic book, but a librarian

Finally, the Guanyin soldier stopped roaring like a wild beast, shouted its first word, and waved the six weapons in its six hands, stabbing at Baoyue Yexiao together.

She nimbly dodged the two weapons in front of her, jumped high on the stone arm of the Guanyin soldier, and aimed the chisel in her hand at the right ear of the hideous head. But at this moment, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, and in that instant, the knife in the Guanyin soldier's hand had locked onto the target and swung towards Ye Xiao.

Baoyue Yexiao was naturally caught in a dilemma. If she gave up the attack now, forcibly twisting the attack away in the air would make it difficult for her body to exert force afterwards. More importantly, she would most likely not be able to defend against the opponent's subsequent pursuit. The strange Buddha's light did not seem to intend to give her a second chance, but if she kept stabbing like this, she would probably be cut in half by the sharp knife.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she did not waver in the end. She held the chisel straight and stabbed the Guanyin soldier's right ear.

The sound of the chisel piercing the flesh sounded so strange. Rather than piercing the flesh, Baoyue Yexiao would rather describe it as the sound of piercing a piece of paper. A muffled groan came from not far away, and she was surprised to find that she was not hit by the knife. Instead, it was Guanyin Soldier who was pierced in the right ear and swayed precariously, as if he had been stabbed in a fatal point.

On that head, whose face could no longer be seen, there appeared a smile that seemed to be one of relief.

"Ah, it seems there is no need to ask..."

Baoyue Yexiao seemed to give up the idea of ​​using the puppet to retrieve the evil spirit of the Guanyin Soldier in front of her with some regret. The other party seemed to be just forcibly controlled and ran away. What's more important is that she had no way to prevent the Guanyin Soldier from disintegrating and dying so quickly. It seemed that the other party had been waiting for this day to come.

"Instead, it was me... who actually traveled through the age of form and found me precisely?"

Baoyue touched her neck. Although there was no difference in the feel, she felt a sharp pain in her neck when she launched the final attack on the Guanyin soldier. Now that she had successfully killed the Guanyin soldier, she understood what that pain was.

"As expected... that guy, right? The death mark on my body hasn't been removed either."

Uesugi Cheng walked over holding his abdomen, and Baoyue Yexiao clearly felt that something seemed to be wrong with his body.

"It's okay. I just blocked it a little bit at the last moment. It won't be a big problem."

Uesugi Cheng touched his abdomen. It was certainly very convenient and fast to interfere directly with the soul operation, but the price was that the counterattack of the Guanyin soldiers hit his soul hard. Although it was not a serious injury, it did make him a little weak now.

"I'm sorry, but we probably don't have time to rest. Uncle Yashiki, can you still move?"

Baoyue Yexiao started to pack her things. She brought two dolls with her this time. One of them had lost its combat capability for a long time, and the remaining one was now staying in her bag, and seemed reluctant to come out.

"It's okay...it really will be..."

Yashiki Kazuo looked at the mark on his hand that had not yet faded, lay silently on the cold floor, closed his eyes, counted to ten in his mind, and then stood up.

"No matter what, we have to go out and meet them first, and then go..."

"Let's go back to Kujo-kan, right, uncle? After all, the remains of the doll should still be stored in Kujo-kan."

Baoyue Yexiao finished what Yaoshiki Kazuo said before he could finish it, and the latter nodded seriously.

"Yes, after all, Daimon and Master Bansi are still waiting for us outside, and I can't let them go on the adventure with me. In fact, if I wasn't so outnumbered and you were also hit by the Death Mark, I would have planned to go back to Kujo Hall alone."

The three people walked out of the underground passage and met the remaining three people outside who seemed to be finally relieved.

"When the marks on my body and the old man's body fade away, I'll know you succeeded."

Damen's expression still looked a little gloomy, but compared to the look when he first arrived, which looked as if he would faint and die in the next second, he is now sunny.

"It will take more than a day or two to finish the underground laboratory and the tunnel, and it's already midnight. How about we disband today?"

Yashiki Kazuo did not tell anyone about the incident at Kujo-kan, as it had nothing to do with the people who had already escaped from the Death Mark.

However, after leaving the gate, Bansi suddenly called out to Yashiki Kazuo.

"Regarding what happened five years ago, I remember that you came to the underground passage and asked me about the 'Tianfo Project'. At that time, you said that the Kujo family was the collaborator of the Tianfo Project, but you never came again. Also, we met once ten days ago!"

"Ten days ago?!"

Yashiki Kazuo widened his eyes, because ten days ago was the day he stood at the gate of Kujo-kan after losing all his memories.

"Please tell me in detail!"

"At that time, it seemed like you had just returned from abroad. I happened to run out because I was scared of the big Buddha statue underground. We ended up meeting on the street. You said you wanted to treat me to a meal to celebrate this wonderful fate. At that time, you still remembered me, and you had that mark on your hand. It seemed like you often couldn't remember what you wanted to say."

As he spoke, Bansi took out a wallet and a watch, saying that Bafu had forgotten them in the restaurant.

"Inside the wallet... there was only some money and a business card of Kujo Saya, but no ID."

Yashiki Kazuo rubbed his head helplessly. Even now, he still didn't know who he was.

"Also, you said something very strange at that time. Although I don't know what it meant, I remember it very clearly."

Bansi spoke, as if recalling what Yashiki had said.

"You said that the paranormal phenomena that occurred underground 50 years ago were not caused by the Tianfo Project, but by... 'her'"

Chapter 138: Facing Mary.

"It was 'she' who marked you, and enjoyed watching you lose your memory and fear death. You defeated that guy once, but he resurrected the next day... In the end, you said that you had to use the same method as fifty years ago."

"The same method as fifty years ago..."

Yashiki Kazuo's heartbeat quickened, sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and some fragments of memory flashed through his brain. But just like Bansi said, he had almost forgotten all his memories due to the influence of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Did I say, who is that she?!"

I don't know if he asked this question out of hope or for some other reason.

"No, I asked you at that time, but you said you couldn't remember clearly. However, you said at that time that if you didn't remember anything when I saw you again, let me take you to a place."

So Bansi also got on Yashiki's car, and Baoyue Yexiao got on Baoyue Yongzi's car. The two cars went to the forest in the suburbs of H city one after the other, which was the place where the group had observed that there was a lot of resentment.

"You asked me to take you to H Shrine to retrieve something."

Uesugi Sumire sat silently in Yashiki Kazuo's car, breathing steadily, but he felt that the mark seemed to have accelerated the absorption of vitality, as if it couldn't wait to kill them.

However, when they arrived at the H Shrine, no one just stared at the empty shrine.

"There should have been a fist-sized Buddha statue in there."

Yashiki Kazuo murmured to himself. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what should have been placed here, but he could not find any trace of the Buddha's presence, as if someone had stolen it in advance.

"No matter what, we have to go to Kujokan, otherwise..."

Baoyue Yexiao and Uesugi Cheng also wanted very much to find the very important Nenchi Buddha in Yashiki Kazuo's memory, but they both felt that after the second half of the night, even Baoyue Yexiao, who had just been marked, could feel the threat of death approaching step by step.

Even though he had a physical substitute, even though he had been able to transfer most of the curses and damage to the evil spirits to bear them for him, the curse called the 'Mark of Death' engraved on the porcelain doll named Meili was really special. It was so special that if possible, Baoyue Yexiao wanted to subdue her into his own hands as much as possible.

"What a pity that we didn't bring the 'graduate' with us. If we had brought the 'graduate' with us, we would have been able to capture Miss Meili with almost no difficulty. I never thought that there could be such a powerful curse."

Baoyue Yexiao touched his neck and said to Baoyue Yongzi, who was looking at him with a slightly worried look.

"It's okay. It's not difficult to deal with that evil spirit. Although her power is very strong, since the people fifty years ago were able to seal her once, we can seal her a second time."

The car arrived at the gate of Kujo-kan. The old man Bansi had already got off the car on the road. Among the remaining four people, only Baoyue Eiko had not been engraved with the death mark, so as the last guarantee, she would park the car far away where she could observe Kujo-kan. If things became irreversible, she would immediately follow the instructions given by Yexiao in advance and go with Hotarou to take out the graduates, and then bring them over to solve everything here.

Although it seemed that Yongzi was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, after all, because the Death Seal could directly curse one through the form, even Yexiao did not intend to let her take the risk now.

Clearly, when I left, no lights were on in Kujo-kan, but when I returned to Kujo-kan, it was already brightly lit.

The face of the porcelain doll that should have been broken appeared intact in front of the three people. The doll named Meili slowly opened her eyes, revealing emerald green pupils.

"Nice to meet you again, Lord Yashiki."

Behind the elegant words is the thirst for blood that can no longer be concealed.

"You regenerate quite quickly..."

Yashiki Kazuo spoke, and at the same time, the shortest Baoyue Yexiao had begun to slowly retreat. The whole house was filled with that ominous and creepy spiritual power.

"You gave me a whole day, which was more than enough. I admit that the black rabbit's attack was a bit of a surprise, and the boy and girl over there also made me feel very strange. It turns out that unexpected things are the most interesting."

She spoke slowly and calmly, as if she had already decided what to do with the three humans in front of her.

"Who am I?"

Yashiki Kazuo asked, he was indeed very curious about this matter.

"It is up to you to decide. Once you know this, you can find the answer yourself. However, now that my mark is engraved on your body, this is impossible."

Yashiki Kazuo sighed. Meili was the source of all the weird things happening recently. Her power was sealed by the Kujo family fifty years ago, but she regained consciousness in the Kujo family's warehouse five years ago. Her awakening alone caused a series of ripples. All kinds of weird things and evil spirits were affected and ran away. They were also given the ability to carve the mark of death. The source of all the weird events he experienced started five years ago.

A month ago, Meli's strength had been fully restored. The reason why she had not taken action against Yashiki Kazuo was that she was just waiting to see what Yashiki Kazuo could do when he said he wanted to fight against the mark.

As Meili's flawless porcelain face cracked, the lights in the Kujo Hall began to flicker.

"Finally, I don't have to endure it anymore. For the past ten days, I have been tasting your fear through the mark. It is thick and heavy, and as sweet as honey. Every time I taste this, I can't help but want to destroy you completely, but I have been enduring... just for this moment."

The lights in Kujo Hall went out completely, and everyone's thoughts became hazy in an instant. Even Baoyue, who was having a midnight snack, began to shake her body and her breathing became rapid.

"Of course, since you brought so many helpers with you, I naturally cannot be too careless. The mark's absorption of you should have made you feel unable to move."

In the darkness, there was a creaking sound from the sofa as Mary stood up, along with the sound of broken porcelain and the spreading black fog.

"Investigate the red in my room."

The voice rang in Yashiki Kazuo's ears. He knew he had to run away, but...

"Whatever you need to do, go ahead! We are here!!"

With fierce light flashing, Uesugi Cheng and Baoyue Yexiao stood up, exposing the ugly and twisted evil spirit hidden inside the beautiful doll to the light.

139

Chapter 139 Gradually waking up.

Yashiki Kazuo started running upstairs. Mary didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him. Instead, she looked at the two people in front of her with interest.

"It's really interesting. As a human being, we can easily fight against monsters. And that little girl has actually started to drive evil spirits. It really reminds me of a guy in your history."

Meili's voice also removed its disguise, changing from a sweet female voice to a hoarse and resentful voice. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to fight with Uesugi Cheng and Baoyue Yexiao, as if she was venting her desire to talk.

"Cough cough cough..."

Uesugi Cheng and Baoyue Yexiao looked at each other and nodded. They could both feel that the other party's delaying time was not just telling them these meaningless words. The Death Mark had been playing the role it was supposed to, ignoring all alternatives and obstructions, and directly absorbing the person's vitality.

"on!"

The puppet's head began to twist, and the cotton filling inside burst out from the gaps as if it was squeezed and twisted by something. At this moment, an evil spirit that seemed to have been peeled off its skin and exposed blood-red muscles pounced on Mary.

"Oh, you use this method to make them obedient? What a pity... This kind of thing is not worth mentioning in front of me."

Meili looked like she was "smiling". The twisted and spreading black mist turned into tentacles and pierced into the body of the muscular evil spirit. Then, countless marks appeared on its body. The evil spirit, which was originally muscular, instantly became like a dry skeleton, shaking and screaming in pain.

However, the next second, a dagger flashing with faint fluorescence cut through the black fog. Light extended from the dagger, and the black fog illuminated by the light dissipated instantly, just like ice and snow melting under the sun.

"Disgusting light...disgusting breath, human, what on earth are you?"

Meili looked at Uesugi Cheng with some confusion. In her memory, no human being made her hate him as much as she did. No matter if they were monks, exorcists or clergymen, they were nothing more than delicious souls on the plate for her, objects suitable for savoring despair and fear, even the little devil who was driving the evil spirits.

But it only had a feeling that it did not want to touch Uesugi Sumiya, only this male human being, as if he were its natural enemy. Its heart was madly warning it that it must strangle him in the cradle and must not touch him.

"Whatever happens, go to hell!"

The black fog collided with the light, and Uesugi Cheng took two steps back. There was a wound on his upper body. That was the corresponding wound on the body caused by the soul that was hit hard by the Guanyin soldiers.

"Ahem, this is really a ghost... I'm not afraid of death."

Uesugi Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood. He was surprised to find that he had lost his fear of death. There was only one thing left in his mind, which was to smash the puppet opposite to him into pieces, beat up the thing inside it, and then let it disappear quietly into the air under the first light of dawn.

In a place he didn't notice, the scar on his body was emitting a faint light, as if something was struggling to wake up from there.

"right!"

Baoyue Yexiao rolled over while shouting. Her breathing had begun to become difficult. Even though the light emitted by Uesugi Cheng in a special way had slightly dispelled the power of the Death Seal, as long as the Death Seal was still running, she could not avoid being cursed continuously. In fact, even the graduates could not cast such a brutal and precise curse that directly bypassed countless defenses and engraved the mark directly on her face, and it could not even be suppressed in a short period of time.

Uesugi Cheng only felt a gust of strong wind whistling past from the right. His body barely reacted, but he began to feel dizzy in his right eye.

But even though his vision was obstructed, Uesugi Cheng felt that his perception became sharper, and the weakness of his body did not seem to affect his strength. Using [Fortitude] as a carrier, the dagger with a little heat made the spiritual power that was spreading unbridled appear to hesitate.

"Uesugi!!!"

Something was thrown down from the second floor. They only confronted each other for a few rounds, and then Yashiki Kazuo seemed to have found something. He used all his strength to throw a small cloth drawstring bag down from the second floor.

Baoyue Yexiao clearly felt that the things in the drawstring bag were surrounded by the same uncomfortable spiritual power as that on Meili.

"Ah, so it's that thing... You Kujo family really haven't made any progress at all, even though that thing does work."

Meili seemed to be very familiar with the things that Yashiki Kazuo threw out, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

The cloth bag fell to the ground. In Uesugi Cheng's hand was a palm-sized Buddha statue stained with ominous blood. The black bloodstains were stained on something on the Buddha statue, making the Buddha's originally peaceful face look hideous.

"Ah, damn Kujo Saya, but it doesn't matter, no matter where you run to, I can find you..."

Although it said that it didn't care about Nianzhi Buddha, when Nianzhi Buddha appeared in front of Meili, its tone became ferocious.

"Take... take the thing to the place where I died. It needs to be purified one last time."

Saya Kujo's weak but firm voice sounded in Yashiki Kazuo's ears.

Yashiki Kazuo was stunned. He didn't expect that his final decision would become the last straw that caused the deadlock. If he shouted it out now, it would be tantamount to telling Meili what to do next. But if he didn't say it, would Uesugi Sumika and Baoyue Yexiao really understand how to purify the Buddha's mind in the end?
