Offer a savior to the infinite world!

Iino had finished asking his questions while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

However, the old man’s reaction seemed to be no different from before.

"Young man, it's very easy to get lost in the southern suburbs at night, let's go quickly..."

The old man said this and slowly turned around and walked away step by step.

Are you leaving now?

Lin Yi frowned and watched the other party's slow movements like a slow motion.

[Wow, no reaction at all, what’s wrong with this old man?]

Iino's voice sounded with a hint of complaint.

[She asked you if you were human when you first started talking, Iino, which proves that she has the ability to sense and judge and communicate. But then she started repeating the same words again. If this was not her intention...]

Is there some limit to what this old man can do, and must he be careful not to cross that line?

if it is like this……

【Follow her】

Having made the decision, Lin Yi acted quickly and followed directly behind the old man.

When Jianzi saw Lin Yi taking action, he quickly followed Lin Yi, and the drone controlled by Iino also followed.

As Lin Yi and the others began to move, the old man, who had been walking slowly as if in slow motion, also began to speed up. Unknowingly, he was even walking so fast that he could hardly catch up with his son even if he ran. It could be said that he was almost floating on the road and moving forward.

Couldn't she just tell us directly and lead us in the direction of our goal?

Lin Yi roughly confirmed this fact.

[Iino, compare the maps, record the route that the old man took us, compare the satellite map of the southern suburbs and the original route that Uncle Lin planned for us, and confirm whether there are any differences between them. I suspect that we may have walked into some special areas.]

【learn】

After giving a brief instruction to Iino, Lin Yi noticed that Jianzi was having some difficulty keeping up with the old man in front of him. After a slight hesitation, he reached out and picked her up, holding her in his arms like a princess, and continued to keep up with the old man in front with light steps.

“Senior?!”

The girl with wide eyes subconsciously shrank back, her cheeks flushed.

"Don't be distracted. Pay attention to your surroundings. Only your eyes can see the most accurate truth here."

Lin Yi didn't have any thoughts on this. He just gave a casual reminder and continued to focus his eyes on the old man who was moving forward unsteadily in front of him.

The other party seemed to be leading them towards the center of the southern suburbs.

However, something seemed to be wrong.

Lin Yi couldn't explain exactly what was going on, but he had an instinctive feeling that something was gradually changing.

In the dilapidated building surrounded by silence and darkness, the indescribable strange atmosphere seemed to gradually intensify. It seemed that more and more things were beginning to catch up with him and Jianzi, or were they gradually leaving the real world and heading somewhere else?

[The connection with the external network is interrupted, and the coordinates of teammates are blurred. Mr. Lin Yi, we may no longer be in the real world.]

Iino's voice sounded calmly in Lin Yi's ears.

And at this moment, the old man in front suddenly stopped, stopped on the dirty street, slowly turned around, and looked up in a certain direction.

Lin Yi put down the dice and turned to look at the direction the other person was facing.

He saw a tall building.

A high-rise building that is particularly eye-catching in this dilapidated southern suburbs, it is estimated to be at least 20 stories high.

[Commercial Building] Four large characters were hung on the top of the tall building, lighting up with bright light, and the tall building itself was also lit with lights of varying sizes, as if many people were coming and going inside, making it look very prosperous and lively.

The tall buildings standing there are completely different from the dead and dilapidated buildings and streets around them. It is like another world.

"It's... right here..."

Jianzi's voice was trembling, and he took several deep breaths before calming down.

The source of the anomalies in the southern suburbs, this missing high-rise building is the place Uncle Lin calculated must be reached to solve the problems in this place.

Lin Yi turned around and found that the old man had disappeared.

"Now that we are here, as a guest, we should go in and greet each other."

Lin Yi sighed casually, then motioned for his son to follow him, and walked towards the tall building in front. The drone controlled by Iino continued to fly on the other side. Looking at the two people who were a little close, the assistant seemed to be hesitant to speak, but considering that this was a very urgent and dangerous time, she finally said nothing, but just conscientiously performed her duties as a system assistant.

-

Under the cover of night, in Zhang Yuan's ward in the mental hospital, the walls and doors were covered with many yellow talismans.

Zhang Yuan himself was tied to the hospital bed. He said nothing and just stared at the people in the room.

Uncle Lin placed a table on one side of the ward, lit some incense and candles, took out a thin black rope and connected it to Zhang Yuan's finger and the finger of Zhang Yuan's mother, who was standing beside him with a worried look on her face.

"That spirit has almost merged with Ayuan's soul. Taking it out directly will endanger Ayuan's consciousness, so we must use more cautious means."

"Later, I will let you call out A Yuan's name. You must face him and keep calling out his name. You cannot untie the rope, and you must never untie the restraints on him."

"Your child's condition is already very dangerous. You must cooperate with me to save him."

Uncle Lin said a lot of things to the mother as he was giving her serious instructions, but the mother just nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely not disobey.

After roughly preparing the necessary things, Uncle Lin turned around and signaled, and Suzuran closed the door of the ward, while Tanjiro stood outside the door, responsible for opening the door and letting them out in an emergency. Then, with a "click", the entire ward became a closed environment, and the ventilation fan whirred, as if the temperature of the entire room had dropped a lot at this moment.

It's almost time.

Uncle Lin stretched out his hand and reached into the small bowl that he had prepared in advance. A grain of glutinous rice fell on his finger. He then lit it on the incense and candle, and then pressed it directly on Zhang Yuan's head on the restraint bed.

Almost in an instant, Zhang Yuan, who had been watching everyone quietly, suddenly became ferocious in expression, and his whole body began to tremble violently at this moment.

Suzuran on the side clenched her staff slightly tightly, and her mood became nervous. Tanjiro outside the house was also paying attention to the situation inside the house, carefully guarding against possible unexpected situations.

The exorcism ceremony has begun.

Chapter D-11: Exorcism - The Hour of the Dog

call--

The dim candlelight swayed gently at this moment.

Is it the wind?

Lily of the Valley looked around and realized that this was a completely enclosed special ward and there was no way that wind could get in.

There was something else moving in this room.

"Deep erosion... This area has been completely transformed into the domain of those things. Linglan, you must protect Ayuan and his family and never let anything happen to them!"

Uncle Lin frowned when he realized that the situation was not good. He picked up the peach wood sword, bit his index finger, and then smeared the blood directly on the sword. His finger quickly formed a mark. Then, in a way that the girl could not understand, Uncle Lin turned around on the spot, stepped on the ground, and then swung his sword to cut. The wind in the house instantly subsided, as if something that wanted to invade here had been blocked back.

It was at this time that Linglan noticed that the talisman papers on the walls and doors had almost all been burnt without her noticing.

The talisman paper was burning without anyone noticing. Was it because the thing that came was extremely dangerous?

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

What followed was that A Yuan, with a ferocious expression, suddenly let out a shrill roar.

The entire ward shook violently at this moment, as if there was an earthquake, and the walls and the ground began to twist.

The cold air immediately covered the entire ward, and even frost began to form on the ground.

The sound of tearing came from the straitjacket, the buckles that fixed it were squeezed and deformed one by one, and the cloth strips began to tear apart. Although it was just an ordinary human body, at this moment, Ayuan began to show superhuman physical fitness.

"Ah, Ayuan."

As the ward began to shake, the woman who rolled on the ground struggled and screamed, and as she screamed, A Yuan, who had been roaring, suddenly became quiet for a moment, but then he howled again, but the sound didn't seem as crazy as at the beginning, and the vibration in the room also began to slow down.

"Call Ayuan's name! Quick!"

Uncle Lin steadied himself, and while shouting, he took out the jade pendant from his pocket and pressed it to the ground.

As soon as the jade pendant touched the ground, it began to glow and ignite, and then the shaking of the ground began to weaken.

Uncle Lin took off the jade pendant, and the flame was still burning on the ground. Then Uncle Lin stretched out his hand, grabbed the flame and dragged it, actually using the fire as a pen to draw a talisman on the floor of the ward. He then used the flame to burn his fingers, and scraped the burned part of his fingers on the ground, leaving his blood on the ground, thereby greatly increasing the power of the talisman and forcibly stabilizing the ward.

"Ayuan! Ayuan!"

The woman began to call out the name of the young man on the bed, one after another. The thread connecting her fingers to the young man's began to tremble slightly, as if something was being transmitted to them.

The crazy expression on the young man's face gradually subsided, and in the haze, there seemed to be signs that he was about to regain consciousness.

Tanjiro, who was outside the other door, was nervously paying attention to the situation inside the house. He was on guard when he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening on one side of the corridor. Then he saw a security guard coming out and walking straight towards Tanjiro.

Is it the security guards from the mental hospital? I remember Uncle Lin had informed the people from this mental hospital in advance that they would not patrol this floor at night to avoid being involved in the exorcism ritual and getting into danger.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Tanjiro, realizing something was wrong, looked alert and shouted to the security guard who was walking nearby.

The other party did not answer, but just kept a steady pace and slowly walked towards this side.

Why didn't you reply? Didn't you hear me? Or did you just not want to pay attention?

No, wait, every step he took seemed to be exactly the same, and he looked like a normal person, but in fact, it was extremely stiff.

And the smell on him... is totally not what a living person should have... Is he a dead person? !

“Please stop!”

Tanjiro immediately drew out his Nichirin Sword and shouted loudly, then contacted Suzuran and Uncle Hayashi in the house through the team communication and explained the situation outside the house to them.

The man in the security uniform was less than ten meters away from Tanjiro. Tanjiro could clearly see that his face was extremely pale, which was impossible for a living person. He could even see ice fragments that had not been completely thawed, as if he had just been fished out of the morgue a few hours ago. The security uniform on him was wrinkled and didn't fit him well. There were some bloodstains on it, which didn't seem to belong to this person.

Did he hurt a security guard and then steal his clothes?

Regardless of the situation, the other party now obviously does not look like a friendly person, so Tanjiro did not hesitate. He gripped the Nichirin Sword tightly and stepped forward, slashing at the other party's leg with the back of the sword, hoping to temporarily stop the other party's ability to move.

when!

Then the next moment, the crisp sound of a collision caused the boy's expression to change drastically.

The blade's feedback... the opponent's body was as hard as iron, and it was absolutely impossible for a human to have such a strong body. This was——

The sense of crisis came in an instant.

Tanjiro suddenly took a step back and saw the thing stretched out its hand and punched the wall next to it, directly smashing a big hole in the concrete wall.

He followed the thing and took another step forward. At the moment when the boy retreated to defend himself because he was not sure of the nature of the other party, he turned directly to the ward where Uncle Lin and Linglan were, and stretched out his hand to smash the door of the ward.

Oh no, his target is Uncle Lin and the others!

With no intention of holding back, the young man took a deep breath and rushed forward the next moment.

[The God of Fire Kagura·Yokato! 】

Bang! ! !

Amid the loud sound of a violent collision, the Nichirin Sword directly pierced into the man's arm, and then the young man unleashed an inhuman strength, pinning the man in front of him to the ground.

The touch of the blade confirmed to Tanjiro that the other person was actually dead, and had probably been dead for a long time. It seemed that some strange secret technique had driven the corpse, allowing it to come back to life and possess powerful powers that humans did not have.

However, compared with the Twelve Demon Moons, this level of power is still far from enough.

"excuse me!"

After confirming the opponent's situation, Tanjiro's eyes became stern, and before the opponent could struggle to break free from him, he swept his blade fiercely, and the zombie's hands flew into the air.

Then the young man slashed with two swift blows, and the zombie's legs and neck were cut off, and it fell to the ground in six parts.

Lost the ability to move.

Tanjiro retreated to the door of the ward and observed the zombie not far away for a while, and confirmed that this thing would not stand up again.

Something like this must be controlled by someone behind the scenes, right?

Just like Uncle Lin said, the reason why the southern suburbs of this city had such a situation must be that someone was behind the scenes. Evolvers from other worlds who acted without any bottom line were secretly leading all this, and now because of the intervention of their saviors, they began to act against them?

If this is the case, the other party will never give up, and there will probably be more attacks next.

The young man frowned slightly and leaned against the ward door behind him, becoming more cautious and alert.

We must not let the enemy enter the house and interfere with Uncle Lin’s exorcism ritual!

The young man, who had made up his mind, clenched the Sun Blade tightly. His senses were magnified to the limit at this moment, and spots gradually appeared on his forehead.

What the boy didn't see was that on the top of an apartment building not far from the mental hospital, there was a figure staring at him with gritted teeth.

"Why did so many of them appear at once at this time? Damn savior, why do you always ruin other people's good deeds at the right time?"
