Chapter 208 An Exorcism Ritual with Only Two People

The next day, Nozaki woke up in the ward. He had been trapped in the "mountain" of the Pokémon all night, and just when he was about to collapse, Kotoko Higa woke him up.

Nozaki heard Makoto describe her older sister.

He immediately recognized the woman in the suit standing in the room as Kotoko, but he couldn't quite recognize the young man in sportswear next to her.

Before he could speak.

A groan came from the hospital bed.

Makoto Higa woke up from her coma, her eyes somewhat dazed, it seemed she had also been taken "into the mountains" in her sleep.

Seeing her sister return from abroad, she was both excited and ashamed, and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I wasn't strong enough to keep that child..."

Kotoko waved her hand and said, "I already know everything, you don't need to repeat it."

She looked at Nozaki, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for taking care of my sister all this time. However, it's my business now..."

Makoto looked somewhat dejected.

As her older sister, Kotoko could naturally guess what her younger sister was thinking.

She made up a random excuse to send Nozaki away, and said, "You've fallen for that child?"

Makoto curled up in the blankets, looking utterly dejected, and asked, "I had a dream. Chisa was taken away by the Po-Xiong Demon. That was 'inside the mountains,' right?"

I saw many children there, all under six years old, who were likely longing for love from their parents…

Kotoko has the support of high-ranking officials in the island nation and is very well-informed.

She said, "Kana, you're Hideki Tahara's wife, right? She was found dead in the mall's restroom last night. According to the surveillance footage, she entered the mall with a girl, and the girl's ID card was indeed Chisa."

However, when Kana's body was discovered, witnesses did not see Chisa.

The surveillance footage didn't show Chisa leaving the bathroom; it was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.

"Is Kanae dead too...?"

Makoto recalled the words Kana had said before the Po-Xiu demon attacked at Hideki Tahara's house.

"Since you really like Chisa, how about I give her to you?"

Such words are the key to attracting the evil spirits; the more a child lacks parental care, the easier it is for them to be taken away.

Makoto spoke directly to her sister, saying, "Kana and Hideki are both gone, so I can't have children and therefore don't meet the requirements for adoption."

Speaking of adopting Chisa, the child is still "in the mountains".

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at her sister and said, "I want to go with you and bring Chisa back!"

Kotoko Higa refused outright: "Your body is not strong enough to support this. I will handle Chisa's matter. Just focus on getting better."

While Makoto was unconscious.

Li Xuan had already spoiled the story of Makoto and Nozaki for Kotoko. The two were fine at first, but when the Po-Xu Demon started attacking, they suddenly lost their intelligence.

Despite the exorcists' lives, the younger sister insisted on taking Chisa away.

Kotoko discovers that Chisa is actually the culprit who actively summoned the Po-Xu Demon, and even actively raised the Po-Xu Demon!
She wanted to send Chisa and the demon back to the Spirit World for sealing, but Nozaki disagreed and even hid a knife to attack Kotoko. After being defeated, he uttered an incomprehensible statement: "Enough, this is just a child's prank."

You need to know when you say that.

In the residential area downstairs, hundreds of exorcists were defeated by the Po-Xiu demon, and almost all of them died.

Are you now saying it was just a prank?

Qinzi had seen many of Li Xuan's strange methods, so she accepted the possibility of him having another "predictive" ability and chose to believe his information.

Kotoko contacted Tokyo officials and arranged for special personnel to keep a close watch on Makoto and Nozaki at the hospital to prevent them from causing trouble at a crucial moment, as Li Xuan had predicted. In the following days...

Tokyo officials have notified all residents within a 10-kilometer radius of Hideki's neighborhood to temporarily evacuate, and the government will provide appropriate subsidies.

The reason for the evacuation was simple: an underground gas pipeline was leaking and required meticulous maintenance; the slightest mistake could trigger a massive explosion…

Dozens of local Tokyo shrine staff members arrived at Hideki's neighborhood, wearing amulets and doing carpentry and gardening work.

They paved the community with white pebbles and built an altar and shrine.

Li Xuan sat in the chair, watching expressionlessly.

Kotoko stood to the side and said, "Perhaps it's a matter of cultural differences. In our exorcism rituals, any evil or heretical opponent should be treated as a god. This is the basis of exorcism."

Li Xuan said, "I don't understand."

Today is Christmas Eve.

Ten kilometers away, Christmas Eve music played in the streets and shops, and Santa Claus was handing out candy all over the streets, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

Only this neighborhood exudes a sense of gloom.

Qinzi glanced at her watch and then at the sky, saying, "Mr. Li Xuan, the Divine Man, Dragon and Tiger Portrait Mirror is very precious. May I add another request?"

Li Xuan looked up at her and said, "Please speak."

Kotoko said, "There are even more pressing new problems in the United States. I hope that after we resolve things here, Mr. Li Xuan, could we go to the United States together?"

Li Xuan said, "Okay."

This world is special; as long as the notebook has time left, he can turn the pages inch by inch.

Kotoko smiled and said, "Thank you. It's four o'clock now. Evening is falling, the sun and moon are changing, which is what we in our island nation call the hour of the demons, the time when evil spirits are most rampant."

I'm going to change into my divine robes. Please come up shortly; I'll wait for you.

"Um……"

Kotoko was used to the word "um".

She went upstairs, tied her long hair up with a white rope, changed into a snow-white Shinto exorcism outfit, put on a mask, and took out a wooden box with the words "Mirror of Gods, Humans, Dragons, and Tigers" written on it.

This mirror has been passed down through generations, and only by wearing a face mask can one show respect for it.

She placed the mirror on the table, then spread out a sheet of white Xuan paper. On it was a prayer written in Chinese characters, called the Great Exorcism Prayer, used to expel evil spirits. She took a deep breath, exhaled the stale air, placed her hands on her lap, and read the scripture word by word while looking at the Xuan paper.

The altars and shrines in the neighborhood, which should have had exorcists from various countries present, have now all been replaced with scarecrows with talismans pasted on their foreheads.

These scarecrows are dressed in all sorts of colorful clothes, and their limbs are connected by springs. When the wind blows slightly, they sway up and down, just like real people.

The western sun gradually turned blood red.

Li Xuan stood up from the chair, walked up the stairs, entered Xiu Shu's house, passed Qin Zi who was chanting sutras, and stood on the balcony.

Snapped!
Just moments ago it was dusk with the sun setting, but it felt as if a period of time had been cut off, and it instantly turned into night.

coming!

As Li Xuan raised and lowered his left hand, the altar slammed onto the balcony with a thud. He tapped the incense and candles repeatedly with his index finger, then picked up a brush, dipped it in cinnabar, wrote a talisman on yellow paper, and placed it in the flame to burn…

The wisps of smoke rose straight up into the sky.

A faint aura emanated from him, and suddenly, a judge's robe appeared and he put it on, causing this aura to spread like a whirlwind!

Qinzi, who was chanting sutras, twitched at the corner of her eye, shocked by the aura. She turned to look at Li Xuan's back, but she did not stop chanting. Especially at times like this, she could not afford to falter. So she formed a hand seal with her hands, and spiritual energy burst forth. Her white Shinto robes began to rattle.

Without the help of an exorcist team, she had to go all out from the very beginning!
