The demon monk in the second dimension

In her view, she was just walking normally.

But in Xia Zhi's eyes, Yotsuya Miko's legs were like a piece of wood or plastic, without any bend, and she walked straight around the room, like a person on stilts, which looked very strange.

On the other hand, without the wrestling leg as a piece of the puzzle, Xia Zhi inevitably becomes weaker.

However, he devoured more than ten ghosts in the Heavenly King's Palace, which was not enough to cause him to fall out of the sixth level of the Ghost Realm.

After Yotsuya Miko mastered the wrestling leg technique, her unique physical characteristics were also concealed and disappeared by the wrestling leg, and she would no longer attract attacks from vengeful spirits.

While Yurikawa Hana also has some issues, they aren't major, and she's not as appealing as Yotsuya Miko.

Moreover, her own life energy also endowed Yurikawa with some resistance.

"Things here are basically settled, let's go take a look across the street."

Summer Solstice recalls the scenery and people she saw and met a thousand years ago.

"I wonder if I can find any similar places in this world..."

When Yotsuya Miko appeared before everyone at dinner, they immediately noticed something was wrong with her.

It wasn't just that Miko Yotsuya's feet were wrapped in bandages, but also her unusual way of moving.

Kyosuke Yotsuya didn't think too much about it, but he said to her with some concern.

"Sister, did you twist your ankle?"

Seeing that his daughter was taken aback, Yotsuya nodded in agreement.

"Ah, um. I twisted my ankle by accident."

But Yotsuya Takakawa doesn't think so.

He could tell that the bandage on Yotsuya Miko's foot was not a medical bandage, but was exactly the same as the bandage on Natsumi's body.

In the past, as a father who cared about his daughter, he would definitely have gotten to the bottom of things.

But now, his mind was affected, so he only glanced at it indifferently before looking away.

"This is probably what the master wants; there's no need to ask further."

……

Just a few days later, when Xia Zhi was sure that Yotsuya Miko was alright for the time being and was preparing to revisit the place across the sea, he suddenly received a call from Mishima.

"Your Excellency, I apologize for bothering you again."

Mishima gave Xia Zhi a wry smile and said with particular helplessness.

"After you left the exorcism club, President Maeda personally went to the ghost temple to investigate and then went missing. Yesterday, we confirmed through special channels that he was dead."

Summer Solstice: ...

Doubt.jpg

As mentioned before, there are hundreds of ghosts in the Ghost Temple, including some that are extremely terrifying. Even I was forced to leave. How dare Maeda Miki go there?

I am really not afraid of death!

Or did he think he could be on par with me, and that since I went to the Ghost Temple without any problems, he could also get away unscathed?

If his reckless actions cause the seal of the Ghost Temple to be broken, and the Ghost Well, which even he cannot deal with for the time being, escapes, that would be hilarious!

But Mishima wasn't referring to that incident; he was referring to another one.

"Because of President Maeda's death, the exorcism society is in a bit of a mess, and to make matters worse, an A-class paranormal incident has occurred. We have no way to deal with it at the moment, so we can only ask for your help."

Xia Zhi was quite interested in this.

He didn't want to miss either the large number of ghosts he encountered in Rank A events or the powerful ghosts he faced.

Xia Zhi said to Mishima with a slight smile.

"tell me the story."

Mishima breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xia Zhi did not directly refuse.

The Ghost God Pavilion went to the Ghost Temple and came out safely that same day, bringing back a lot of information, which led to the Ghost Temple being upgraded to an S-level paranormal event.

President Maeda went to the haunted temple with great confidence, bringing two supernatural items with him, but he never returned.

Doesn't this mean that this demon is even more powerful than the former number one demon tamer of the island nation?

Truly worthy of being called "God"!

If even the Lord of Ghosts and Gods cannot resolve this matter, he will have no choice but to lose face abroad and seek help from foreign ghost tamers.

Mishima didn't mention this over the phone; instead, he came personally from the exorcism organization's headquarters and handed a stack of documents to Natsumi.

"This Class A paranormal event is codenamed 'Knocking Ghost.' It manifests as an old man wearing a black jumpsuit and possesses a ghostly aura resembling black mist. His killing rule is that whoever knocks on the door will die. So far, three ghost controllers have died in this incident."

"The Knocking Ghost's tracking range is all over the world. It uses a knocking sound as a medium. As long as someone hears the knocking sound, it will appear around that person and kill the people in the ghost realm."

This information immediately reminded Xia Zhi of the ghost bell that Yotsuya Nanami had encountered a few days ago.

"Another paranormal event related to sound transmission?"

Seeing that Xia Zhi was looking at the documents, Mishima picked up the black briefcase next to him and took out two strangely shaped porcelain pieces from it.

The porcelain was black and red, roughly in the shape of a human, but with a pained and distorted expression, reminding Xia Zhi of the golden statue in the Ghost Temple.

Mishima explained the two pieces of porcelain.

"This is a supernatural item called Ghost Porcelain, the latest research of our Exorcism Society. If you place an item representing your identity under the porcelain, it will absorb a portion of the attack from a ghost. To resolve this incident, in addition to one billion yen, we can also provide two pieces of Ghost Porcelain to the Ghost God. Two more will be provided after the matter is resolved!"

"Ghost porcelain?"

Xia Zhi picked up a piece of porcelain and examined it, trying to understand its workings.

Upon seeing this, Mishima smiled.

As the old saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

Your Excellency is indeed very powerful, but this Ghost Porcelain was painstakingly researched and developed by our Exorcism Society's researchers; it is a unique supernatural item of the Exorcism Society.

It's not that easy to see through.

But who is Xia Zhi?

An officially certified ancient demon!

Although he had not been in this world for long, he possessed extensive knowledge of demonic arts and was quick to make discoveries.

Chapter 433 Controlling the Door-Knocking Ghost

In Xia Zhi's perception, this porcelain was less a protective supernatural object and more a special kind of curse.

Once the porcelain is destroyed, the people involved will also suffer corresponding harm, which is similar to a curse that involves stabbing someone with a voodoo doll.

Moreover, given the circumstances of this world, the curse on this porcelain is likely connected to a ghost controlled by an exorcism society.

Being attacked by other ghosts while cursed by this ghost is equivalent to ghosts fighting against each other, which actually protects the cursed object.

However, one must also carefully hide this fragile porcelain. Otherwise, if the porcelain breaks, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Moreover, since this ghost could be subdued and studied by the exorcism society, and porcelain is a standard fragile item, its level of terror is probably not high, and it cannot fight against a ghost that is too strong.

Putting down the ghost porcelain, Xia Zhi asked Mishima.

"Who is the new president after President Maeda's death?"

Mishima smiled happily.

"Considering that the Exorcism Society needs to handle paranormal events throughout the island nation, and given the sudden passing of President Maeda, Interpol headquarters has temporarily appointed me, the vice president who knows the Exorcism Society best, as the successor to the position of president, in the hope of stabilizing the domestic situation."

Hearing Mishima say this, Xia Zhi suddenly understood.

No wonder he didn't seem sad at all when he saw Mishima.

So, Maeda died and that's when he got promoted!

"Hehe, congratulations!"

Xia Zhi accepted the two pieces of ghost porcelain that Mishima brought over, but did not intend to use them.

This thing isn't very useful to him; perhaps he could trade it with other ghost tamers for some supernatural items that interest him.

"Give me that knocking sound, I'll go and deal with this knocking ghost."

Mishima lowered his head slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

"The knocking ghost is currently in Kobe. Please ask the Ghost God to go to Kobe and not bring him to Tokyo."

He feared that if Xia Zhi couldn't get rid of the knocking ghost, it would cause unnecessary losses to Tokyo, the capital of the island nation.

After all, dealing with the knocking ghost is very difficult, and the A-level rating of the supernatural world is not an exaggeration.

As soon as Mishima finished speaking, Xia Zhi immediately used Ghost Domain to take him, the tool, with him and head towards Kobe.

As the surrounding scenery continued to change, Mishima looked at Natsumi speechlessly.

No, come again?

The last time I went to the Ghost Temple, it was the same thing. Without saying a word, it took me to Kagoshima. And this time it's Kobe!

Not long after, Xia Zhi arrived in Kobe with Mishima.

Mishima reluctantly took out his phone and contacted the Kobe branch of the exorcism society.

"Never mind, the knocking ghost is an A-level paranormal event, so my presence as the new president is a sign of my importance."

The Kobe branch was very touched when they received a call from Mishima asking them to send someone to pick them up.

Class A paranormal events are extremely dangerous even for exorcists. Although Mishima is the head of an exorcism society, he is just an ordinary person. His willingness to come in person demonstrates a great deal of responsibility.

When Mishima and Natsumi were brought to the Kobe branch, the person in charge there reported to Mishima.

"President Mishima, we are planning to try to confine the Door-Knocking Ghost to this area to prevent it from continuing to wreak havoc in the island nation."

Mishima raised his hand to interrupt him and spoke to the head of the Kobe branch.

"Stop for now. I've summoned a very powerful ghost tamer to handle the knocking ghost incident. Bring me the audio equipment that recorded the knocking sounds."

The person in charge glanced at Xia Zhi, who was wearing a gray cloak and wrapped in bandages, and nodded after a moment of unease.

"Yes!"

He quickly brought over an audio player.

Mishima showed Xia Zhi a lot of respect in front of the Kobe branch.

He handed the audio player to Xia Zhi, stood with his legs together, and bowed to him at a 30-degree angle with a serious expression.

"Your Excellency, I beg you!"

Even the company president bowed his head, and the other office workers in the Kobe branch quickly followed suit and bowed to Xia Zhi.

"please!"

At the same time, these overworked office workers were also amazed.

"This Ghost Master's codename is Ghost God? With such a cool codename, the president would hire him to handle A-level paranormal cases, so he must be very strong!"

……

Holding the audio player, Xia Zhi arrived at the place where the knocking ghost, as mentioned by the Kobe branch, frequently appeared.

This is a residential area, and the surrounding area is already a dead zone. Everyone was killed by the door-knocking ghost through the door.

Xia Zhi turned on the audio player in her hand, and soon a strange knocking sound came from it.

"Thump, thump-thump, thump, thump-thump..."

Xia Zhi threw the player on the ground and waited for the knocking ghost to arrive.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard coming from the nearby alley.

The footsteps were not loud, but they sounded very heavy.

Inside the alley, a gray mist, like smog, surged in, spreading like ink dropped into a glass of water.

An elderly man with a blank expression emerged from the mist, dressed in a black jumpsuit.

His face and hands were covered in thick lividity, and he exuded a strong, rotten smell mixed with the stench of decay, like the smell of a coffin where the corpse and wood were rotting together. He was clearly not a living person.

The old man's eyes were lifeless and empty, giving off a chilling and ominous feeling.
