Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 64 Seeing Through
"Kyo-san Tachibana!"

Amid exclamations, the surrounding guests scrambled to a corner, and naturally, Uta Kasyapa and his companions could not remain seated.

On the edge of the hall, Jia Yezi grabbed Uta Kasyapa's arm in fear, not daring to look in that direction.

At that moment, the sound of guests making a disturbance could be heard from the side.

"What just happened? How could that person..."

"I saw it! That person changed in an instant, in a split second!"

"moment?!"

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, that man twisted into a ball like a building block doll!"

The panicked discussions among the surrounding guests reached the ears of Uta Kasyapa and Fukie, who exchanged a puzzled glance.

Utakayo pondered to himself, Fukie's ability was more inclined towards mental pollution, and Jia Yezi was still alive, so they had accidentally intervened in the scene of a superpower crime?

Thinking of this, Uta Kassapa, holding one of the two women in each hand, cautiously and warily surveyed the surrounding crowd, fearing that the murderer hiding in the crowd might suddenly strike.

Police quickly cordoned off the crime scene.

However, besides the police, there was also a group of serious-looking exorcists among those who came to investigate the case today.

Just as Asahi Junfu was about to leave work after finally catching his breath following the incident on the pedestrian street during the day, he was called to work overtime again. Upon arriving at the scene, he saw the group of exorcists trying to touch the corpses to change the environment, and his anger flared up immediately.

"Gentlemen, please do not obstruct our officers' work."

Seeing Toshifuku Asahi's police badge, Tachibana Kyo's three companions finally stood up from the ground.

"This is no ordinary murder case!"

Asahi Toshifuku glanced at Tachibana Kyo's body on the ground, which was twisted and contorted like building blocks, and frowned.

This is indeed not something an ordinary person could do. Putting aside the time involved, just breaking an adult's bone without the help of equipment is something that most people could not do.

“I know this is not an ordinary murder case, and I understand your anger over the death of your colleague, but please calm down and cooperate with our procedures. You need the truth, and so do we.”

Upon hearing this, the exorcists glanced at Asahi Toshifuku, then at the intense malevolence emanating from Tachibana Kyo's corpse on the ground, and nodded, suppressing their anger.

Subsequently, the two sides cooperated, with the police investigating witnesses in the surrounding area and the exorcists setting up a ritual in an attempt to find the evil spirit that killed Tachibana Kyo.

In the rest area next to the restaurant, the guests who had been temporarily placed there by the police were very anxious, waiting to be questioned.

However, no one wanted to use connections to leave early, because someone had died and an exorcist was involved, and no one wanted to cause even more trouble because of their impatience.

As the investigation progressed, it soon came to the turn of Uta Kasyapa and his two companions.

Looking at Jiayezi sitting in the corner, not daring to lean directly against Uta Kasyapa, but only leaning against the back of his chair, and Fue playing with Uta Kasyapa's fingers out of boredom.

The police officers conducting the investigation were stunned for a moment, then immediately informed Asahi Junboku of the situation.

Upon hearing this news, Asahi Junbok was taken aback and subconsciously asked if the others were injured. After receiving an affirmative answer, he pondered for a moment.

"Don't disturb them, just follow the normal procedure."

"Hi!"

Following instructions from Asahi Toshifuku, the police went to Uta Kasaya and the other two and questioned them.

With Jia Yezi's timid expression and Fu Jiang's bored attitude, it was Uta Kasyapa's turn to be questioned.

Just as Uta Kasyapa was about to finish his questioning, Higa Kotoko, dressed in a black suit, walked in surrounded by a group of exorcists.

"President Higa! Kyo Tachibana, he...!" Before Kyo Tachibana's three companions could speak, Kotoko Higa abruptly raised her hand to interrupt his shout, giving them a cold look.

"I will make my own judgment."

She strode confidently to the crime scene under everyone's watchful eyes, completely unaware that Fukue and the other two were observing her from the corner.

Upon arriving at the scene, a pungent smell of blood emanated from Tachibana Kyo's body. Asahi Toshifuku knew Higa Kotoko and immediately went up to her to tell her about the body.

“Aside from the visible fractures, almost all the bones in his body were shattered, and they shattered in an instant, but he died five minutes later.”

"Because his throat was broken, Kyo Tachibana was unable to send any distress signal."

Asahi Toshifuku's judgment made Higa Kotoko frown. It was impossible to crush a person in an instant. The only explanation was that Tachibana Kyo had been dragged into the demon realm by the other party.

After being brutally murdered by the other party, he was then released back into the real world.

Being killed by evil spirits is a normal thing for psychics like them, after all, the relationship between hunter and prey is never absolute.

However, instead of killing Tachibana Kyo directly, they released him and let him die in despair in front of everyone. This was a blatant provocation!
Thinking of this, Kotoko Higa, her anger rising, began forming hand seals without saying a word, wanting to find the hiding place of this evil spirit through Kyo Tachibana's corpse, and then drag it out and kill it on the spot.

A massive surge of spiritual energy erupted instantly, causing the clothes of everyone around to taut as if being blown by a gale.

"I humbly beseech you, all gods and immortals, to descend and slay countless demons! To banish evil spirits and prolong life! Hurry, hurry!"

However, just as Higa Kotoko was about to finish reciting the incantation and her spiritual power began to fill the entire restaurant, her powerful senses made her notice the traces left by the snake crawling on the ground, which had been cleaned up by someone.

Recalling Tachibana Kyo's reputation in the exorcism world for wantonly toying with young women, but because of his covert methods, he was never caught red-handed.

Higa Kotoko dispelled her formation and went to the chair where the last trace of the snake had disappeared. Then she turned to look at Tachibana Kyo's companions behind her.

"Where did the snake go? What are you planning to do now?"

As Higa Kotoko coldly questioned him, Tachibana Kyo's companions' expressions changed. Just as they were about to lie, the immense spiritual power blasted them away.

Kotoko Higa slowly walked up to the people lying on the ground and stared at them coldly.
"So, Tachibana Kyo used tricks to rape women first, and after being discovered, he suffered retribution. And you want to use me to kill him and vent your anger."

At the same time, it's a way to intimidate those you've manipulated before who might rebel, and those who might rebel in the future, so that it's easier for you to do your wicked things afterward, right?

Seeing that their plan was about to be exposed, the three exorcists turned pale and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

Realizing she had almost been used, Higa Kotoko's expression turned frighteningly cold.

Amidst the pleading, Higa Kotoko remained silent for a moment.

"break!"

With a clear shout, the three exorcists collapsed to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses.

"Chief Tomorrow, what should we do with these people next? The Exorcism Association will fully cooperate. Thank you for your help with today's farce."

After saying that, Higa Kotoko turned to look at the hall and bowed slightly to Tachibana Kyo's corpse. After standing up, she scratched her palm with her fingernail and sprinkled the blood into the air.

"We apologize for our offense."

After saying this, Higa Kotoko walked out of the restaurant with a cold face, leaving Asahi Toshifuku and the others looking completely bewildered.

As darkness fell in the parking lot of the resort, a black sedan suddenly stopped beside Uta Kassapa and his two companions, who were walking along the roadside preparing to head to the main road to hail a taxi.

As the car window rolled down, Higa Kotoko's face, with its complex expression, was revealed.
