Chapter 290 The First Spiritual Medium's Grand Exorcism
Chiba is part of the Tokyo metropolitan area. Although it is not the core area, it is not far away, so it was also one of the locations where Kotoko Higa gathered people.

An elderly woman with a wrinkled face sat in a van, with her granddaughter beside her, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Grandma, what is the exorcism summons?"

The bored granddaughter asked her grandmother beside her.

The old woman smiled and said, "This is an order that can only be issued by the first person in charge."

"Miss Higa Kotoko is the number one in Japan, and she is also one of our spiritual mediums. Born in Okinawa, she started exorcising demons at a young age and has been doing so for more than ten years. Many people like us across the country have come into contact with Miss Higa and have even received help from her."

“Take us for example. You survived because Miss Higa helped Grandma. Now that she’s issued a summons, Grandma has to go.”

"Besides, a call to action of this scale will attract a lot of people, so how can we not go and see it for ourselves?"

She smiled and patted her granddaughter's head.

The granddaughter looked on incredulously, "Higa Kotoko, you're amazing!"

"You should call her Miss Higa."

"Uh-huh."

At this time.

The old woman's expression changed, her eyes rolled back, as if she had seen something. The next moment, a bloody handprint appeared on the car window with a splatter, leaving a huge crack.

The driver was terrified and panicked, and the vehicle began to go out of control.

"Don't panic! Keep control of the car!"

Wow!

The old woman immediately scattered a handful of soybeans, but it was too late.

Amidst the terrified screams of the granddaughter and the driver, the vehicle was propelled by a powerful force and overturned.

boom!
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz——

Accompanied by the sirens of emergency vehicles, a pool of blood gradually appeared on the road.

After a while, a somewhat childish hand reached out.

at the same time.

The Shinto shrines in other wards of Tokyo also sent representatives, all of whom were elderly people with white hair, wearing robes and crowns.

They were sitting on the subway, all solemn and dignified, when suddenly they received a phone call confirming that something was hunting them down and preventing them from reaching their destination.

Several elderly people, the youngest of whom were seventy, exchanged glances.

They all chose to get off the bus without prior arrangement.

"We can't let these people get involved. From now on, let's split up and take action."

"We must make sure that someone goes there."

Their murky eyes showed no fear of death. They picked up their luggage, straightened their backs, got off the bus, and walked in different directions.

Meanwhile, mysterious forces began to appear one after another, hindering their progress.

This situation kept occurring in various places, all involving mysterious individuals who had been invited to come to Tokyo.

Onmyoji, Shintoists, mediums, monks, shamans... there's something for everyone. These are all people with real skills, not those charlatans who swindle and deceive.

This is the appeal of Japan's top spiritual medium, and also the powerful network of connections that Higa Kotoko has accumulated over the years in this industry.

It's no wonder that the owners of those grand shrines and temples were willing to acknowledge Higa Kotoko's number one status, and even once believed that Higa Kotoko could rival Louis...

Closer to home.

Although the interception by the Po-Xu Demon had a wide impact, it ultimately failed to achieve its goal. Under Louis's Yang God power, it was forced to restrain its actions. In addition, these people all had real skills and were not as easy to kill as ordinary people, so a large number of the invitees survived and successfully arrived in Tokyo.

They arrived at the location where Higa Kotoko's ceremony was being held, which was also the home of Tahara Hideki's family.

However, at this time, there were no ordinary people within a three-kilometer radius of Hideki's family. Outside the area, the police chief, at Higa Kotoko's request, personally led a team to surround and guard the place.

At this time, a large number of people had gathered here.

Workers, accompanied by a construction ceremony, are laying white pebbles, symbolizing purity, to create a white stone path.

They also built a square platform, only one meter high, under Hideki's house, which could accommodate four people.

Aside from the workers, the rest of the people were dressed in all sorts of bizarre ways. You could see traditional Shinto attire, shamans with a slightly wild look, shrine maidens in shrine maiden robes cleansing their bodies, and in the corners, modern exorcists with modern equipment...

The blend of traditional and modern styles doesn't appear chaotic at all.

Everyone was in an orderly manner, making their own preparations.

As the core of this ceremony, Higa Kotoko has also changed her clothes, shedding her usual cool and stylish black clothes and putting on a loose and soft shrine maiden outfit.

Although that cold, indifferent face didn't look like a witch at all...

Beside her were Hideki's family, who, in a sense, were also the protagonists of this ceremony.

At this time, Hideki's family was embroiled in internal strife.

Hideki, who usually dressed himself very well, now had bloodshot eyes, held a torn amulet in his hand, and glared angrily at the woman in front of him, his wife, Kana.

A woman whose appearance is merely plain.

"Family discord is what led to this guy's existence! Haven't I been good enough to you? Why are you treating me like this? Do you think I don't know about you and that guy Tsuda?!"

Hideki Tahara held the amulet up to Kana's face and said this.

However, Kana acted out of character, as if she had given up after her secret was exposed. She curled her lips into a smug and unrestrained smile.

"Heh, you're good to me? You keep saying family is important, but you won't even change the baby's diapers. You only create a good husband persona on your blog and don't care about your family at all! How have you been good to me?!"

“You insulted me, you looked down on me. Yes, my mother is… she is that kind of person, but you promised me when we got married that you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t look down on me.”

With her hair in her hands and disheveled, Chanel looked like a madwoman.

"Tsuda is much better than you. He's gentle, he doesn't look down on my background, and he's even better in bed! Hahahaha!"

Hideki's expression was not so intense at this moment. Even the words that insulted his male pride did not provoke his rage. He calmed down, which was unusual for him, and asked, "So, you really put this amulet in for me?"

"Correct!"

"Tsuda found this. He said it's for guiding magic, and using this will make you die! Die! Die!"

Hideki snorted and took a deep breath, then sneered, "You talk as if it's all my fault. Clearly, clearly I was the one protecting you. You just keep exaggerating your own achievements. Besides, weren't you the one who caused Chisa's injuries? You're just like your mother! You don't understand what family is at all! Trash!"

"What?! You caused Chisa's injuries?" Higa Makoto, who was holding Chisa's child and covering her eyes and ears, was stunned.

She couldn't understand why a mother would inflict violence on her own child. Motherly love isn't supposed to be like that, is it?

"You bastard!" Makoto Higa roared.

Because of her inability to conceive, Makoto Higa has developed feelings for Chisa over the time they've spent together, and she appears quite angry at this moment.

Fortunately, her boyfriend Nozaki was there and quickly pulled her away.

"What's all the noise about! You really like Chisa, right? I'll give you that troublesome thing! Here you go! I don't want it anymore!" Kana said with a strange laugh.

hum! ! !
The moment those words were spoken.

A slight fluctuation trembled within Zhi Sha's body.

The little girl, who had been silent all along, just watched her mother and father. Unfortunately, the two went back to arguing, and neither of them looked at her.

Kotoko Higa, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, glanced at him briefly.

at this time.

The ceremony finally began.

The four elderly Shintoists, kneeling in the four corners, began chanting, "Ka~ Kou~". Despite their advanced age, their voices were unusually loud and long, carrying a certain inexplicable charm.

And then came the three crows of the rooster, signifying the arrival of dawn.

Boom!
dong dong!

Boom boom boom!
The deep, resonant sound of drums began to beat, and the people around started chanting, officially setting the ceremony in motion.

The torch was lit.

Monks are chanting mantras, shamans are communicating with nature spirits, and mediums are reciting incantations to open the eyes of the spirits...

Meanwhile, Higa Kotoko, now dressed as a shrine maiden, stood on the high platform, surrounded by several other shrine maidens. The four shrine maidens began to perform their movements in unison.

At the same time, Higa Kotoko's lips moved slightly as she quickly and softly recited the Great Prayer, a prayer used to ward off impurities.

"The gods residing in Takamagahara, by the command of the Imperial Ancestor God, eight million gods gathered together..."

Accompanied by recitation.

The sky began to show unusual changes.

The sun, which was already nearing dusk, suddenly dimmed, and the space took on an unusual quality, with day and night alternating in a very short period of time.

Louis, who was watching the ceremony from above with Carrie and Sadako, raised an eyebrow. In his eyes, the three-kilometer radius below was actually experiencing spatial overlap, as if a strange alien space was squeezing in.

That's why the strange phenomenon of the continuous alternation of day and night occurred.

"Oh, I see. This ritual is both a blessing ceremony for Higa Kotoko and a forced ritual to invite that demon."

"However, this demon is obviously quite resourceful, as it managed to force its own alternate dimension in, giving both sides a home-field advantage."

"An interesting tactic."

Despite saying this, Louis's Yang God power was constantly monitoring the area. He was looking for that demon. This guy had a good ability to hide. During the interception, his Yang God power eliminated the opponent several times, but they were all clones, or rather, only a part of the opponent.

That's why Louis became so interested in it; he felt that this demon might have value in being cultivated and studied, and who knows?

As for now, will that demonic alternate dimension expel him...?

Louis, having used the art of concealment, was naturally impossible to detect.

……

At dusk, at the moment of encounter with demons.

call! !

A sudden gust of evil wind blew.

Standing on the stage, Higa Kotoko slightly raised her head, "They've arrived!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

A jumble of sharp, chaotic laughter, filled with a strange emptiness, began to echo, completely devoid of any childlike innocence. The sound was loud enough for everyone to hear.

The images of the Po-Xiu Demon were also displayed on the instruments of the modern exorcism team, which had been running the equipment continuously.

One by one, the phantom images of children jumping around appeared.

Seven or eight-year-old girls, five or six-year-old boys, two or three-year-old toddlers...

They jumped and laughed, playing hide-and-seek, as if they were immersed in some kind of amusement park.

"did you find it?"

"Here I am."

"Come quickly and find them—"

"..."

The sound was layered and overlapping.

The earth shattered at that moment, countless cracks appeared, debris flew everywhere, buildings collapsed, and the surrounding exorcists were driven back.

puff! !

Several exorcists were blasted away and coughed up blood, but the blood they coughed up was crawling with caterpillars!

These countless cracks all represent the Soul Demon, they are all it!

bang bang bang-

The cracks converged towards the square altar. Standing on the altar and looking around, the surrounding earth was shattered. Most of the exorcists were also knocked to the ground by this simple physical attack, and were still enduring the attacks from the Po-Xu Demon's split bodies.

In the blink of an eye, Higa Kotoko found herself surrounded and attacked.

Kotoko Higa remained unfazed and lightly stomped her foot.

Snapped!
The powerful spiritual energy spread outwards in waves.

boom! !

The two collided.

The attack, which seemed to be targeted and focused by heaven and earth, was immediately forced to stop at that moment.

For a moment, it was as quiet as a chicken's nest.

Available in the next second.

Higa Kotoko suddenly turned around.

A yellow talisman shot out from her fingertip, igniting in mid-air and emitting a blue light that instantly enveloped Zhi Sha, who had approached without her noticing.

hum! !

The blue light blasted the child away, sending him tumbling twice as he landed on the ground.

This caused Makoto Higa and Hideki to gasp in surprise.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Kotoko Higa walked slowly and deliberately to Chisa, raising her hand as she did so.

Snapped!
He slapped Hideki, who was running towards him, to the ground, and then kicked him away.

Then he turned his head and looked coldly at his sister and her boyfriend.

In an instant, Makoto Higa regained her composure, but she still refused to leave. She pulled Nozaki along, looking at her older sister and Chisa lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance. She seemed worried that her sister would kill the child.

Kotoko Higa shook her head, looked at Chisa who was pretending to be dead, and sighed, "What a terrible child."

"elder sister?"

"A part of the main body of the Soul Demon is inside this child."

"Ah? I see, no wonder my sister... Then, is it possible to break free from the possession? Like them, spit out the caterpillars," Makoto Higa quickly said.

"No, it's not that the Po-Xu Demon possessed this child, but rather that the child summoned the Po-Xu Demon, and she is even taming the Po-Xu Demon within her."

"Just now, her attempt to launch a sneak attack was not controlled by the internal system; it was her own decision."

"This child is already broken."

Kotoko Higa said expressionlessly, a barely perceptible hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

"This, this is impossible! She's just a child!"

At that moment, Nozaki, who was holding Higa Makoto's hand, spoke up.

"Even so, it wasn't Chisa's fault. It was just... just a child's prank..."

"If we can find a way to get rid of the Po Xi demon, the child will definitely recover."
