No one in the room cared about the fat boy who was rolling on the ground in pain, except Youjing.
"How are you?" he asked, squatting down.
"It hurts... it hurts... let's run... " The little fat man's face had been distorted by some unknown force. He was not like this when Youjing just came in. The little fat man didn't look ugly, just a little fat. But now, his face can no longer be considered human. His facial features twisted clockwise first, and then counterclockwise, as if someone was putting his hands on his face from an invisible place, trying to pinch his face into the shape he wanted.
This round fat guy is most likely Haruta Toneri who sent a message to Yanami before. Ukyo needs to know what exactly happened just now so that he can judge what kind of "ghost" is attached to him based on the situation.
"Yanagi, to cut a long story short, tell me what just happened?"
"Just..." Yanaijian didn't need to reorganize his words because everything happened so suddenly -
"We were just having a normal meal, and then Haruta suddenly stood up, and then it became like this..."
"I know he wants to confess his feelings to me, but this shouldn't be the reason why he became like this, right? I've never heard of any kind of weird creature that specifically tortures boys who are about to confess their feelings..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the necks of several men in the room shuddered inexplicably.
Ukyo said, "Think about it more carefully, about the details."
"Details?" Yanai was startled, then suddenly asked, "Before Haruta confessed, his eyes were darting around nervously, as if he was looking in the mirror. Does that count?"
"Of course!" Ukyo asked quickly, "Where is the mirror?"
Yanami pointed to the life-size mirror in the box.
In ancient Western biographies, mirrors are the medium through which demons enter reality, and all objects that can reflect light are the entrance for demons to descend into the world.
But these "mirrors" were not opened by Jesus himself. The gates between the human world and Hell can only be opened at the moment of death. Besides that, demons that visit the human world at other times are considered sneaking in!
Ukyo grabbed Haruto Sheren's shoulders and brought him to the mirror over there.
"——Haha——!" A strange sound like phlegm stuck in the throat came from the mirror. A flesh-colored, skinny creature, like the strange species in "Attack on Titan", was waving its arms wildly in the mirror!
Its eyes were wrapped in a layer of translucent mucus and could not be opened. Its slender arms spanned longer than its body. Despite having such long arms, its legs were frighteningly short, like the legs of a bullfrog that had been skinned in scalding water.
"——Dong!" It knocked hard on the mirror.
"——Bang bang!" The dull sound shattered the mirror.
It continued to knock on the mirror, trying to break down the "wall" that trapped it, but after looking in the mirror, Haruta Toneri's expression had relaxed a lot.
Ukyo moved the mirror away, and Haruta's expression immediately began to look painful.
His fat was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his rosy skin began to turn bloodless.
The demon seemed to be unable to wait any longer. It wanted to suck the "beast" dry as quickly as possible so that it would have enough strength to struggle out of the mirror.
Ukyo thought of Detective Nishio who died in the villa.
There was also a mirror in the master bedroom of the old lady's villa! Many houses would place a mirror in the master bedroom during renovation. This was so common that even the "veterans" didn't think about the mirror when they were inspecting the site.
The decadent energy of the elderly is like poison to demons, but the fresh energy and blood of young and middle-aged people are like nectar from heaven to them!
Ukyo now understood why the old lady saw the hunched-over baby every night. That was the original form of the "lower demons" described in the Bible.
It chose the villa as its smuggling location, but the blood of a dying person was like poison to it, so it delayed attacking the owner of the villa until the self-righteous detective Nishio appeared on the bed, wanting to use the same method as Ukyo, using himself as bait to lure out the devil.
Youjing finally understood that the culprit of the villa case was not a domestic fox demon, but a low-level demon who wanted to sneak from hell to the human world. No wonder the Guhuo Bird did not sense the demonic energy in the room. In this way, except for the assistant whose heart was dug out, all other clues were correct!
Ukyo moved the mirror back in front of the little fat man, and the mirror reflected the low-level demon that looked like a skinned bullfrog.
His mind began to flash through all the works related to demons that he had learned.
Constantine in "Hellblazer" once used a mirror to reflect a demon that possessed a girl. He used a "forbidden spell" in the Bible to trap the evil spirit from hell in a mirror that was as long as his body, and then threw the mirror from the fourth floor. The moment the mirror shattered, the demon died along with the mirror.
It was an old movie, an old movie full of pretentiousness and coolness that was Ukyo's favorite. He watched that movie over and over again and could remember all the plots in it. Every time Constantine recited the exorcism spell, there were no subtitles, either in English or machine-translated Chinese, so Ukyo didn't know what to recite. He was also different from Constantine. That guy could scare most low-level demons just by reciting his own name, but the name of the Japanese swordsman Ukyo Tachibana was not very effective on demons.
He didn't have time to find an exorcism spell now, as the fat little boy Haruta Toneri looked like he was about to be sucked dry.
Fox demons suck away people's essence. Taoist priests have many ways to replenish people's essence, but demons covet people's souls and flesh and blood. Once the soul is extracted, it is difficult to get it back.
Caojie and Hualian found quite a bit of salt.
Yanami sprinkled salt on Haruta and the mirror at the same time, but the salt that was usually effective against demons had no effect this time. Its body had not yet sneaked into the human world, so salt was naturally useless to it. Moreover, the function of the salt demon was to "expel" rather than "harm". Holy water was more effective than salt at this time, but neither of them had holy water.
Ukyo raised his middle finger towards the demon in the mirror. He felt that these deformed children with low IQ and incomplete physical development should be easily provoked. Their rationality could not be high. If he could make it change its target of attack and change the person it wanted to suck to himself, then maybe he could save this innocent fat man.
Today was the first time Ukyo saw him. How should I put it, the chubby boy who dared to confess to a popular girl in public was actually quite brave. Although it was annoying that he threw dead sparrows into girls' textbooks when they were young, when Ukyo helped him up for the first time, the words he said were "it hurts" and "let's run quickly."
Look, how bad can a 15-year-old fat boy be?
Ukyo's middle finger really angered the demons in the mirror, and their sanity couldn't say "0", and might even be negative.
"Yanaimi, surround me with salt!"
After saying this, Youjing felt as if his brain was hit all around at the same time. It was not a "local" position like the back of the head or the top of the head that was hit. The feeling of being possessed by the devil was like his head was strangled by a golden hoop, as if his brain was about to be shaken evenly.
Ukyo's eyelids rolled upwards, and his black pupils suddenly disappeared. Then he began to twitch on the ground like the fat guy just now.
His consciousness was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
He could see that in reality, Yanami didn't sprinkle salt around him, but instead picked him up and shook him a few times. When she realized that his black pupils hadn't returned, she actually started to shed small pearls. This made Ukyo very angry. He asked Yanami to surround himself with salt because he was afraid that if he lost the battle with the devil, his body would be used as a vessel for others to descend into the human world. Salt can repel devils, so as long as he was surrounded by salt, he would most likely not run out and hurt others.
But what was Yanami doing? What good were your tears? Could they help your boss defeat the devil? You came to the reunion today to show off in front of your classmates. You should have stayed calm and shown them how a professional "Watson" methodically managed the situation, instead of letting a dozen people watch you cry while hugging your boss.
Fortunately, Yanaijian reacted quickly. Her tear glands were just working faster than her brain, and she was not really stupid. She quickly sprinkled all the salt that Caojie had brought, formed a circle around herself, and then knelt in the circle and stared at him.
well.
This way he can concentrate on dealing with the demon.
The other half of Ukyo's consciousness was on a dilapidated western highway, which seemed to be somewhere in the western United States. Only the four numbers "1891" were clearly visible on the road sign stained by wind and sand. Ukyo saw many cacti and tumbleweeds, and groups of lower-level demons crawled out of the broken car shell like cockroaches, densely packed like a tide, drowning and swallowing him.
Volume 76: Chapter The Third Game "Heart"
He finally understood why Xiaopang's face was distorted...
It was a swarm of low-level demons stepping on his face.
The reason why Xiaopang cried out in pain.
It was because groups of demons were gnawing at his body.
This is the world where Jesus banished demons, a paradise for lower-level demons, but it is also where half of Ukyo's consciousness resides.
Ukyo wished he had a sword that could kill demons, and so he really had a sword in his hand.
It was Murasame, the one he was most familiar with.
He drew his sword from its sheath, and the mercury-like blade easily chopped the bodies of the lower-level demons into pieces, but soon more "cockroaches" came up. With only one person and one sword, there was no telling how long it would take to finish cutting them all.
Ukyo remained rational.
He was not thinking about how to kill the demon, but how to get out of this area.
The people outside looked at him with a full-length mirror, and he seemed to be able to come out of the Devil's Paradise, and the devil who pulled him into the Land of Exile would also be trapped in the mirror.
So the mirror is the key?
Maybe, but not definitely.
Perhaps this land of exile is the key?
Maybe, but not absolutely.
He had never fought a real "demon", not even the half-baked one created by the Lanster people, so when it came to fighting demons, he could only guess.
"Ukyo, think carefully about what can kill the demon and get you out of here."
Countless movies he had seen, literature he had read...even comics and video games flashed through his mind.
Even Jun Yan briefly flowed through his blood, and he thought of Odin riding an eight-legged horse...
But these things were useless and could not get him out of exile.
His thoughts finally settled on a knife.
Yama Sword.
It's not the damned second-year weapon in "Dragon Slayer", but one of the three demon swords recorded in the apocrypha of "Magic Sword Documents". This sword has been given different settings in successive Devil May Cry games. One of them says that the Yama Sword is "the key that can separate "light (human world)" and "darkness (demon world)"" because it can open and close the gates of hell.
The place where he is now should be called a corner of hell, right?
The moment the knife fell into his hand, the lower-level demons, who were as numerous as cockroaches, all fled in panic, with expressions of horror twisted on their faces, as if they had seen the power of the knife.
Ukyo didn't know how to use the Yama Sword, so he could only raise his hand and swing it randomly.
The next moment, a ray of light split the dim land of exile, and his consciousness, which was separated in two places, gathered again in his body at this moment, and his upturned black pupils returned.
"Ukyo!" He ignored Yana's surprised call and instead looked into the eyes of the demon in the mirror! They were back together!
A more accurate description would be looking into its young eyes that had not yet fully opened beneath the white mucous membrane.
Youjing immediately stood up, clenched his hands, and suddenly exerted force to pull the tablecloth off Yuan's table and cover the mirror with it.
This low-level demon was trapped in a full-length mirror. As long as it didn't find another target, it couldn't get out of the mirror.
Toyohashi City probably needs one more special cell built to accommodate the "Lanster people".
Ukyo plans to go home and rewatch Hellblazer today to see what the binding spell is that Constantine used to lock the demon in the mirror, so that he can completely get rid of this demon.
When Mao Li and a group of police officers arrived, Ukyo looked at Yana's classmates. Most of them were still confused, but that didn't stop a few of them from recording the scene with their phones. Ukyo warned them to delete all the videos. Any mirror could be a medium for the demon to "smuggle in." Now it was trapped in that large mirror. If you don't want your phone to become its smuggling tool, and your body to become its next smuggling medium, then delete the video honestly.
Everyone seemed to value their lives, and anyone who recorded the event deleted it.
They speculated in their minds about the relationship between Ukyo and Yanami, and some wanted to ask but didn't have the courage to speak up.
Only Kusai and Karen knew both of them, but if you asked them what the relationship between Ukyo and Yanami was, they would just say they didn't know. They didn't talk to each other in class, so who would have guessed that they were actually a demon-hunting duo in private?
"Get in the car." Ukyo stepped into the driver's seat and turned to look at Yanami. She was still instructing her old friends about something, as if she was checking their video deletion status. After he got in the car, the atmosphere between them was obviously much more relaxed. Yanami was actually talking and laughing with Karen, while Caojie was the one who was excluded and could not get a word in.
Yanaijian didn't say a word to Kusaki from beginning to end. It was not until she returned to the passenger seat that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost can't help but speak. From now on, I should be considered...completely saying goodbye to the past, right?"
Ukyo didn't answer, but started the engine. He saw Kusuke's dazed eyes in the rearview mirror, like a puppy that couldn't find its home. Even if he felt regret for only a few seconds, Yanaijian would have considered it a success today.
It was not until the car drove away that You Jing told her what he had always wanted to say -
"You look like a calico cat now."
"What?" The azure pupils faced the rapidly passing lights on the highway, revealing the girl's confusion about the word "calico cat".
"I mean......."
"You didn't wipe the hot pot sauce off your mouth."
Yanajian shifted her dazed gaze to the rearview mirror at the side, and saw the funny corners of her lips. At that moment, she wanted to go crazy and tried desperately to open the car door, wanting to crash to death on the highway, but she still had not learned how to open the scissor doors of a Ferrari.

But anyway...
I only pretended to be 100% of the 10%, but it still counts as pretending.
"Thank you...thank you for coming all the way back..." Yanaijian wiped her mouth with a tissue from her bag, then took off her high heels that were rubbing against her feet. She hugged her knees with one hand and rubbed her aching heels with the other. These shoes were so painful, she never wanted to wear them again.
"You're welcome." Ukyo said, "Exorcising demons is what I'm supposed to do. I thought this would be a chance for Kusuke and Karen to look up to you, but it didn't work out. We're both embarrassed today, but I actually killed a bunch of them in the demon world not long ago, but your classmates didn't see it."
"Haha~," Yanaijian tilted her head and looked at him with a grin, "That thing you did at the hot pot restaurant was quite mysterious. I almost thought you were going to die. From the looks on their faces, it seemed like they all admired you quite a bit."
"It doesn't matter what your other classmates think. What matters is what Caojie thinks. As long as he regrets it, you've achieved your goal today. I just looked at him in the rearview mirror, and he doesn't seem to be in a good state."
Yanami said, "I hope he can be happy with Hualian. I just want to... stand up in front of him. Let him know that I asked him to go find Hualian because I really didn't like him. I want to make this lie come true... Everything is my fault. Caojie didn't cheat, and Hualian is not a thief. Ajing, I noticed that you seem to have a lot of hostility towards them."
"Okay, okay, good boy Yanaijian, I'm so worried." Ukyo turned the steering wheel, not paying attention to the strange nickname Yanaijian said this time. The car drove into the suburbs, and it was still five minutes to his home.
"Then I also wish that Hua Lian and Cao Jie will be together forever, breaking the curse that high school students break up after a year of dating."
"..."
The Ferrari drove into the underground garage, and the battered red beast calmed down.
Yanai didn't know how to open the car door, so he could only climb out from the main driver's door which was missing.
Ukyo took the elevator in the basement to go upstairs. Yanami curled her lips. It was just a short while. Was it so difficult to take the same elevator with her?
She suddenly remembered that Youjing had to go to the old lady's villa as bait tonight.
Although the demon issue has been resolved, their commission has been received.
However, the cause of death of Assistant Nishio has not yet been determined.
A low-level demon that has not obtained enough soul and flesh and blood cannot come out of the mirror, so who took away Nishio Assistant's heart?
