Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 259: Sacrifice of Fushimi Deer

The sound of the bell echoed in the empty hall, and the lingering sound was heard in the air.

The sound of the water organ disappeared and the stairwell began to drip. Before anyone could react, they saw the assistant rushing over. He held down the twitching tail seam and shouted for others to come and help.

Gen Yuzi reacted the fastest, rushing over to hold down Oe no Sou's arm. Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew the assistant would not harm the captain, just like she would not harm Fushimi-kun.

Ono Ken followed closely behind and helped to hold down the other arm. Fushimi Kakashi and Princess Kiko stood nearby and watched, the former with a frown on his face and the latter with a look of horror on her face.

The assistant took out a bottle of light green potion from his waist bag, bit open the bottle cap, pried open the mouth sewn on the tail, and poured the potion in.

After a while, Oue no Sumire's eyes, which had rolled back to normal, made a gurgling sound from her throat... Ono Ken and Gen Tamako, one on each side, lay beside her and watched with their own eyes as her chest gradually swelled up and a lump formed in her throat like a frog, slowly moving upwards, and finally, with a "wow" sound, she vomited a large amount of pond water.

Snap… Snap… Snap…

The vomited liquid was clear, with green duckweed and a red carp tumbling on the wooden floor.

Oue-no-sou coughed twice and gasped for breath, but she finally calmed down and her voice returned to normal. The assistant covered her with a blanket and asked her to sit on the sofa to rest.

Princess Kiko stared at Onoue with a nervous look, asking what was going on. The latter, curled up on the sofa with sunken eyes, claimed that it was Fushimi Shika who destroyed the spiritual ceremony, causing the evil spirit to backfire, and she had to resist the curse of the evil spirit alone in order to protect everyone.

Just now she was attacked by the dead Akishino Mako, and the vomit on the ground was the best proof.

Miss Akishino died by drowning, and she will make the possessed person die by drowning as well.

Hearing this, the others subconsciously turned around and looked at Fushimi Shika. Before he could open his mouth to explain, Yuan Yuzi asked first: "But, but why did Mr. Assistant hide in the chimney? What about the signal transmitter?"

Ojou closed his eyes, seemingly disdainful of answering.

The assistant smiled bitterly and explained that this was all to fool laymen. In fact, Mrs. Onoue could type on the keyboard and relay the whispers of the dead. But if she did that, no one would believe her and everyone would think she was acting. In desperation, the assistant suggested "tapping on the keyboard in the air" to fake the appearance of the dead. In this way, onlookers would think that Mrs. Onoue had successfully communicated with the spirit.

This is just like the service industry. Consumers have to think that the money is worth spending. After a haircut, the barber has to pretend to trim it. When cooking, the rice cooker has to put up a sign that he is a rice fairy. There are also some sayings like "I only make this pot of soup for a hundred years", "The ramen fairy who studies the secret formula", "Super invincible fried rice"...

It's a marketing tactic after all.

But Mrs. Onoue is different from other scammers, she has real skills. If Princess Kiko is not satisfied, they are willing to pay a compensation, just as if they had never come today, and the evil spirits of Wulinan have nothing to do with them.

"This... this is nothing to be satisfied with..."

Princess Kiko was troubled by her daughter's last words. When she learned that her daughter did not die by suicide, she wanted to find out the truth even if it was just the mumbling of the dead. She couldn't help but ask Mrs. Onoue to communicate with the spirit again.

Ojouchi glanced at Fushimishika and said in a hoarse voice: "The wandering souls here are restless. They smell the scent of strangers... I have warned them, but some people didn't listen." Of course, everyone knew who "some people" referred to.

Fushimi Shika wanted to refute, but then he thought it was unnecessary.

Being stubborn now would only make Princess Kiko unhappy, so he simply admitted that his practice was not good enough and he did not see Mrs. Onoue's profound spiritualism. He glossed over the matter lightly and did not mention an apology.

Yuan Yuzi quickly winked at him, reminding him that if he did something wrong, he should say "sorry". Fushimi Shikaku pretended not to see it. He was in a very bad mood. There must be something wrong with the Feng Shui of this damn place. He felt uncomfortable all over since he came here.

Princess Kiko didn't care about it. She begged Onoue to communicate with the psychic again, and she would negotiate no matter how much it cost. Onoue shook her head and said the classic line: "It's not about the money."

"Just tell me what you want. I will try my best to satisfy it no matter what your request is." Princess Kiko said in a very serious tone.

Ojou lowered his head and buried his face in the shadow of the blanket: "I'm afraid you can't satisfy me... This is not my request, but the request of the dead souls lingering here... They have remembered the smell of that man. Only by offering him as a sacrifice to the dead souls can the restlessness in this old house be calmed down."

Hearing this, everyone had complicated expressions, and Yuan Yuzi looked worried.

Princess Kiko certainly couldn't sacrifice anyone alive, even if Fushimi Shika was a stranger, she wouldn't do such a thing. In desperation, Princess Kiko had to soften her tone and ask if there were any other ways to mediate.

Ojou said nothing, but her assistant spoke for her, saying that the reason why this old house could trap so many wandering spirits was because it was absorbing the "royal spirit" of the owner and using it to bully others. If she wanted to communicate with the spirit again, she had to solve the problem from the root, and she had to cut off the royal spirit of Wulin'an...

To put it bluntly, it means letting Princess Kiko pass on the old house to someone else, preferably someone with great skills and a strong destiny.

Although the assistant didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood what it meant - professional matters should be left to professionals, and since this is a haunted house, let's leave it to the psychic to suppress it!
After the assistant finished speaking proudly, Onoue spoke again and made the final decision, claiming that as long as the haunted house was sold, she would be able to communicate with spirits again and fulfill Miss Akishino's last wish, allowing her to become a Buddha.

Princess Kiko was about to agree, but was stopped by Ono Ken. She interrupted and said, "This is a serious matter. Please let Madam consider it..."

Ojou Feng did not comment. She curled up on the sofa and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ono Xuan took the opportunity to pull the mistress away and took her back to the bedroom, saying that he would take a short rest and would be back soon, so the guests were invited to make their own way.

Fushimi Shika could guess with her toes that the two of them must have gone back to the bedroom to discuss. He didn't want to stay in the living room for long, so he made up an excuse and planned to go out for some fresh air. Yuan Yuzi was worried that something had happened to him, so she hurriedly followed him, and the two left the hall one after the other.

The two stood on the porch, rain falling under the eaves, blocking their view with a curtain of water.

Yuan Yuzi turned her head, carefully observed his expression, and asked in a low voice: "Are you angry?"

"No." Fushimi Shika shrugged.

He was just threatened by a charlatan that he would be sacrificed alive. How could he get angry over such a small matter?
