The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 876: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (17)

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the believers of the Church of Hope and the exorcists were just singing hymns and reciting scriptures. Although their momentum was somewhat confrontational, and even made the onlookers who did not know the truth feel a little suffocated and want to stay away from them, that was all. Apart from that, there were no extraordinary actions and both sides were very restrained.

But in the eyes of the psychic, the two groups of people have actually been killing each other to the point of darkness. The holy white light is constantly devouring the land, and magnificent buildings are rising from the ground, as sacred as the kingdom of God in heaven.

On the other side, a giant with red lotus fire burning behind him was bombarding the buildings with his six arms, preventing them from taking shape. Different beliefs were colliding, old, new, pious, fanatical, dark, bright... They were competing for the ownership of the sacred peak of Mount Fuji.

This competition was extremely fierce. Sweat broke out on the forehead of every exorcist who participated in it, and the singing of the believers of the Church of Hope was no longer peaceful, but instead became urgent and aggressive.

Only a few people from Inuyama Heita's team could stand in the back and watch the battle leisurely. After all, they couldn't intervene in this situation.

"It's really amazing..." Suzuna looked at the huge back of the Acala in front of her and felt very safe. She couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Mr. Qian asked us to come over here. I was thinking that he was trying to trick us into working for free again."

Terao Yu retorted: "How could Mr. Qian do this? What kind of image do you have of Mr. Qian? A black-hearted boss? Isn't that right, Heitaro?"

“……” Inuyama Heita remained silent.

Terao Yu: “Hey!”

In fact, Inuyama Heita's attention was not focused on the fierce battle in front of him, nor did he hear other people's conversations. He was staring at the RV in the corner of the campsite, looking a little uneasy.

He recalled his previous conversation with Qian Xiaoyi.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Qian Xiaoyi asked as he sorted out the Taoist robes he was going to wear later. "You guys must have been very tired last night. Why don't you leave here and have some rest?"

"I want to help." Inuyama Heita was very determined.

Qian Xiaoyi paused and asked, "But your mission has been completed. You know that even if you go there, you can't help Master Gui Teng and the others, right? You should know the plan."

"Yes, I know." Inuyama Heita said, "Although Mount Fuji is the holy place of the Hope Church, it is also a holy place in the eyes of other religions in Japan. Even if they gather thousands of believers and transform it into a [holy land], the team of exorcists led by Master Kitano can fight against them by digging into the thousands of years of religious beliefs in Mount Fuji."

"That's right." Qian Xiaoyi said, "In this battle of faith, you haven't gone to Liuliyuan for further study like Master Gui Teng and the others, and you don't even have the means to summon Acala. You don't even have a god to believe in, so your presence is completely useless. Besides, you went through a big battle last night, and you might even be a hindrance."

Facing Qian Xiaoyi's dissuasion, Inuyama Heita said calmly: "Brother Yi, it seems that you have forgotten one person, right? That person is also there, she is there, I will go and stop her."

Qian Xiaoyi stopped what he was doing: "So? Even if it's Chizuru Hayafune, she can't participate in this battle of faith alone, right? No matter how powerful she is, she's still just one person." Inuyama Heita didn't answer, but just said to himself: "Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees is the end point of the float convoy. After all, it's basically impossible for so many people to climb Mount Fuji together. This sea of ​​trees is also the legendary [Suicide Holy Land]. This should be the reason why the Church of Hope chose this place."

"Go on." Qian Xiaoyi looked at him.

Inuyama Heita took a deep breath. "According to our guess, the Church of Hope probably wants to use the resentment of the suicides in the holy land of Aokigahara Forest to make the believers of the Church of Hope feel happy and feel the beauty of life. Then, they can use this huge group cognition to truly create a [Sanctuary] or [Heaven] that is stronger than the monster's lair, but..."

He adjusted his mentality and said in a somewhat depressed tone, "Once our tactics take effect and successfully disrupt their plans, is it possible that they will use more drastic means to produce cognition? For example... mass suicide.

Brother Yi, you should also know this, right? So your plan is to let those people commit suicide, and then use the power of the victims of the Church of Hope and the media to completely nail the Church of Hope to the pillar of shame, attach the label of cult to it, and then use the cognitive power of the entire country's people to attack the culprit, Amahara Mari. "

Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "You can actually think of this, so I don't want to let you go, because..."

"Because...she will take the lead in doing this, because she is a saint, and only she can do this and make those people follow her willingly." Inuyama Heita calmed down at this time: "She...is a good person, a real good person. She is too tired, so she will never allow herself to survive and let others die. I want to save her, just like she saved me that year."

"You want to save Chizuru Hayafune?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "But how do you do that? That girl has probably been completely brainwashed by Jingde and her father, Mari Amahara. Do you think you are the protagonist of some shonen manga and can convince the other person with just your mouth? You've only known her for a few days, Naruto?"

Inuyama Heita put his hand on his chest and argued: "I can also use that power! I can interfere with her and prevent the ritual from taking place! If the ritual fails, and those people don't commit suicide to draw out the resentment of the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, wouldn't that be more beneficial to our side? Please let me try, Brother Otoko, I know what I'm doing."

Qian Xiaoyi saw what was hidden in Inuyama Heita's eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"

Inuyama Heita nodded firmly: "Yes, just like what you did when you came to Japan, I also have things I have to do."

“Okay…” Qian Xiaoyi waved his hands in disdain: “Go ahead and give it a try. When you see your first love die in front of you, don’t come back crying.”

"She's not my first love!" Inuyama Heita immediately retorted.

At this moment, ignoring the battle between Acala and the believers led by Father Kamino, Inuyama Heita stared at the RV, but he did not notice that Suzuki was also staring at him from behind with a thoughtful expression.

"It's out!" Inuyama Heita murmured in a low voice.

The door handle of the RV in the corner quietly turned...
