Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 209 Only Killing Can Solve the Problem
“Mr. Li Xuan, I’m about to open the door to ‘inside the mountains’.”

Higa Kotoko sat upright on the ground and said something. The tone of her voice began to change, making it sound more like she was singing a folk song using various tones.

The back of her left hand, which was forming a mudra, was covered with burn scars.

The pristine white Shinto robes concealed countless horrific old wounds, a fact unknown even to his younger sister, Makoto Higa.

Li Xuan: "Mm."

Higa Kotoko smiled slightly, and her voice grew louder and louder.

The sky outside the balcony began to change back and forth, sometimes daytime, sometimes nighttime, and finally back to dusk, which foreshadowed that the entire community had fallen into a spirit world.

A thin layer of mist had somehow appeared on the ground in Hideki Tahara's house, and the breath exhaled by Li Xuan and Kotoko Higa turned into white vapor.

The green plants on the balcony have been covered with countless green caterpillars.

These insects fell from the leaves to the ground, and their numbers increased to almost form a green carpet, a scene three or four times larger than in the movie.

The front door clicked open automatically when the handle was pressed down, and a thick, eerie aura rushed in from the dimly lit corridor.

A little girl's voice rang out: "Are you hidden well? I'm coming!"

The clear, childlike voice carried a strange and sinister undertone in the environment. Li Xuan saw a small figure hiding behind the curtains, with only one shoe visible beneath the curtains.

Higa Kotoko noticed it too, and instantly her spiritual power erupted, causing the house to shake. A five-year-old girl, bound by rope, appeared beside her—it was the missing Chisa.

She took out a white talisman and affixed it to Zhi Sha's body. Looking at the sleeping little girl, she said with some emotion, "Mr. Li Xuan, you are right. Just as you said, this child did indeed actively summon the Soul Demon. She is deeply entangled with the Soul Demon in the 'mountain,' and is now nothing more than an evil spirit with a human body..."

Before preparing for the exorcism ritual, Li Xuan talked to her for a long time.

The "future storyline" concerning the exorcism ritual includes the possible appearance of Chisa, as well as the changes in her sister Makoto and Nozaki.

Finally, Li Xuan also talked about the dragon and tiger portrait mirror.

It turns out that this world was already in ruins. When people's "lifespan" was about to end, a powerful figure in the underworld sacrificed himself to oversee reincarnation, just so that people could have another life.

The dragon and tiger image mirror was originally one of the seven treasures on the gate of the underworld, and it was also a key.

The ghost who came to her a few years ago to ask for the Dragon and Tiger Image Mirror was a ghost messenger from the underworld. Unfortunately, they attacked each other as soon as they met, and the misunderstanding was too great. If Li Xuan hadn't appeared here, she would still have attacked the ghost messenger.

The world is in ruins, but some people are fixing it up.

At this moment, Higa Kotoko saw the aura of "kindred spirits" in Li Xuan, who was wearing a magic robe—a figure constantly wandering and fighting alone...

For a moment she was in a daze, her left hand reaching out towards Li Xuan's back, wanting to touch him.

"Miss Kotoko, what do you think?"

Li Xuan fiddled with the talismans on the table and said.

Kotoko Higa pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted. She looked at Chisa and said, "This child is deeply entangled with the Po-Xu Demon. I want to use her as a vessel for the Po-Xu Demon and seal it in the Spirit World. At least for a long time, the Po-Xu Demon will not be able to appear in the mortal world to do such things."

Chisa is a pitiful and pathetic child.

She was given the cursed name "Chisa" by Hideki Tahara, which acknowledged the existence of the Pokémon.

Li Xuan said, "Try severing the connection between Zhi Sha and the Soul Demon. If we can kill the Soul Demon, that would be the best option..."

Kill?

This word is so unfamiliar.

In Higa Kotoko's understanding, ghosts and evil spirits can only be driven away or sealed away, because if they are scattered, they can be resurrected as long as the conditions for their formation still exist.

What was she trying to say...? Li Xuan said, "What I mean by killing is to completely eliminate it, erasing any possibility of regeneration."

Higa Kotoko's pupils contracted slightly, if she could do that.

This is indeed the best choice.

Li Xuan had placed seventy-two peach wood swords on the altar, densely packed together. Each sword was inscribed with a demon-slaying talisman in cinnabar ink. These were not ordinary talismans, but rather the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques for slaying demons.

He wrote diligently and said, "Give me a minute or two."

Upon hearing this, Makoto immediately took the dragon and tiger portrait mirror off the shelf and nodded, saying, "Then I'll buy some time and try to force the Soul Demon out and fix it inside this child's body..."

She chanted a spell: "One, two, three, four, five..."

This is the "One, Two, Three Blessings," which has multiple effects: purification, severing, and manifestation. It is almost an all-purpose blessing, and its effect depends on the mindset of the person reciting it.

The mirror with the dragon and tiger image was polished to an incredibly smooth finish, so smooth that it reflected a person's image. It showed Zhi Sha's ferocious face, with bloodshot eyes and numerous veins extending from the corners of her eyes.

Chisa's voice turned somber: "Chisa belongs to 'the mountains,' you liars!"

The Demon of Souls has arrived.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the front door. Makoto and Nozaki appeared, looking exhausted. After entering, they stared intently at Chisa, who was lying there.

Makoto looked at her older sister and said, "Chisa's back, sister, thank you!"

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up Chisa.

Kotoko Higa held a mirror in her left hand and formed a hand seal with her right, pointing it at Makoto in mid-air: "You've already fallen for it. Your current will is entirely guided by the Soul Demon..."

Makoto felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, collapsed to the ground, convulsing, and vomited a large amount of filth and worms.

"Sister, why? I just want to take her with me."

"Take her away?"

Kotoko Higa looked down at Makoto and said, "There are two options now. First, kill the Po-o-ma and free Chisa! Second, if the kill fails, seal Chisa and the Po-o-ma in the Spirit World."

seal?

No, no!

Makoto struggled to move her body, reaching out her hand towards the lying Chisa: "She's just a child..."

Kotoko said, "I clearly instructed the Tokyo Action Team to guard the hospital, and even arranged for local exorcists like Osaka Kimiko to assist. How did you manage to escape?"

Makoto was unaware that she and Nozaki were trapped in a hospital room when suddenly many children appeared running around in the hospital. The action team and exorcists guarding the hospital suddenly collapsed to the ground and fainted.

The old woman, Osaka Kimiko, also lay in a pool of blood, weak and feeble, but she was not dead.

She sensed Chisa's presence and rushed over with Nozaki because Chisa told her that her older sister, Higa Kotoko, wanted to leave her "in the mountains" forever.

Chisa can no longer play with Makoto.

Makoto, who was unable to have children, was heartbroken and rushed here despite her weakened state.

Nozaki rushed up to try and snatch Chisa away, shouting, "What a joke! This is just a child's prank. Her fate shouldn't be entrusted to this gambling game."

Kotoko Higa didn't get the reason why they escaped from the hospital from Makoto, but she knew that something must have happened.

With her and Li Xuan in charge, Po Xuan probably felt it was a problem and used some means to release these two guys to cause trouble.
