I became the emperor in the comic book series.

The little girl confidently said something that made her older sister blush.

"Ah, me?" Baoyue Yongzi pointed to her nose.

Bao Yue turned her little face away, winked at her, and gave her a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Baoyue Yongzi understood, and somewhat embarrassed, she composed herself and nodded earnestly to her senior, "Yes, I like you, senior!"

"Also, I like God too..." Little Night Snack continued her offensive.

However, this time, Hozuki Eiko panicked a little, "Wait a minute! You're too old for Midnight Snack Sauce to say things like that!?"

Higashino Akira, feeling looked down upon, laughed disdainfully, pinching the boy's chubby little face and pulling it apart. "Who do you think I am? Would I lose my mind over a little woman? Especially over an elementary school student?"

"How rude of me! I will grow up too. In ten years, I will grow into a great beauty with a figure like Eiko!"

"Then wait until ten years from now before you say that to me."

Releasing his grip, Higashino Akira no longer insisted that the two sisters leave with him.

It wasn't because he was out of energy and had fallen into a loli-obsessed habit, nor was it because the junior was an intellectual and gentle beauty who was actually a hidden sickly beauty.

Instead, over at the apartment building, a figure fell from the sky, probably from the balcony of the most bloodied room. He crashed into a crooked tree, bounced off the roof of the nearby carport, and finally rolled to the ground. He was still able to carry an unconscious little girl and limp out of the community.

I glanced at the disheveled man and estimated the height from which he had fallen. I felt that even if I were in his current state with 20 points of attribute, I would probably be half-crippled if I were hit like that. But the guy was still able to move.

Akira Higashino's brow twitched involuntarily; this must be a little painful!

I just finished dealing with several urban legends and my strength has improved, but suddenly I feel like I'm falling behind the current version again.

Even Jackie Chan wouldn't dare to fall like that.

Japan has a Wolverine now?

It's incredibly meaty.

With a thought, the Thousand Souls Huayan Self-Slaying Child appeared beside him, unfolding a barrier that enveloped the apartment building and half of the neighborhood.

Akira Higashino stepped forward, extending an arm in front of him to block the man's approach.

Chapter 141 Soul Demon

"Stop!"

A semi-transparent, pale white barrier separated the inside from the outside, creating a world between the man holding the child and Akira Higashino.

'Observe the aura!'

[Qi You 100]

[Name: Kazuhiro Nozaki]

[Air-cooled Blue]

[…]

[Qi You 100]

[Name: Chisa Tahara (***)]

[Qi Lu Core]

[...]

The former was alright, but the little girl who was unconscious was in a strange condition.

In this situation, either she herself is very special, has some extraordinary hidden identity, such as being the reincarnation of a god, or the daughter of some great god, or her real name has not been extracted by the 100 Qi Knocks Nyx.

Or perhaps she is not just herself, but something else is inside her.

"what!"

In this situation, seeing three well-dressed figures—two adults and one child, one man and two women—nozaki Kazuhiro paused for a moment, then glanced back at the building behind him. He quickly limped forward, wanting to escape as far away as possible, while loudly warning the three of them as he walked.

"Hey! It's dangerous here! Get out of here immediately!"

The moment he approached the edge of the barrier, a white arm appeared out of thin air and gently touched his leg. Instantly, a wound appeared, and blood flowed out. Nozaki Kazuhiro, who was already limping, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground with a groan. The child he was holding fell to the side.

Fortunately, the power that prevented the wound from healing was contained by Senkyou Kagen's self-inflicted wound under Higashino Akira's will.

Nozaki Kazuhiro wanted to pick Chisa up.

Akira Higashino, who had been observing all of this, spoke up, "I advise you not to do this. Get away from her as soon as possible. There's something wrong with her."

"What nonsense are you talking about! She's just a child!" Nozaki Kazuhiro roared, his bloodshot eyes wide, as if suddenly provoked.

“I have never met a child whose true name I cannot understand at a glance.” Higashino Akira said calmly, not angry because of the other party’s attitude, after all, he was not a person who was easily angered or held grudges.

"You can leave, but she can't."

"I don't have time to argue with you. You can only choose to accept or refuse and stay inside the barrier with her."

As he spoke, Higashino Akira released his superhuman spiritual power, which slightly affected his emotions. "Tell me what happened inside. Have you seen a woman named Higa Makoto?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Nozaki Kazuhiro's pupils contracted, and the words he was about to utter remained on his lips.

"She's my girlfriend. Do you know Makoto?"

"We're not very close. I just received her call for help and came over to check on her."

Looking at the other person's young, clean-cut, and handsome face, Nozaki Kazuhiro's lips twitched, and his head sank slightly. Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief after his gaze swept over the stunningly beautiful woman behind that guy, with long brown hair who was many times prettier than his girlfriend and even looked completely different from her.

Subsequently, setting aside his resistance and influenced by the other person's extraordinary charm, Nozaki Kazuhiro gradually recounted what had happened inside the building behind them.

The story begins with a man who had previously sought an exorcism from Makoto Higa. He failed and died, but his lingering obsession led him to haunt his family. Adding to the turmoil, the man's wife had an affair with his best friend, and even his death was linked to his brother. This long-term lack of family love caused the lonely little girl to summon a being called a "Pakumo," a vengeful spirit formed from the vengeful spirits of all abandoned children throughout history. The Pakumo wanted to take Chisa away, while Makoto wanted to keep and adopt the girl, leading to a confrontation where she was severely injured.

Even so, half-dead, she still refused to give up, and then her awesome older sister came to her rescue. In order to conserve her energy to deal with an even stronger being, her older sister called for a bunch of support to prepare to use a ritual to banish the Po-ni-ma. However, the Po-ni-ma was too obsessed with the little girl Chisa, and Higa Makoto was too reluctant to part with her. She was controlled by the Po-ni-ma several times to interrupt the ritual process.

This guy wasn't much better. It's just that other girls' older sisters tolerate their silliness when they're younger sisters, but when he did something silly, he got punched by his sister-in-law and fell into a peaceful sleep. When he woke up, he still wanted to be silly, saying that Chisa was still a child. He completely ignored the fact that it was this little girl who actively summoned and tamed the Po-mu, causing the exorcist group downstairs to be wiped out. Together with Higa Makoto, he refused and stopped his older sister from banishing the little girl along with the Po-mu.

In the end, the awesome older sister compromised, not wanting to waste any more time dragging it out. She cast a protective spell on him and then used a powerful shoulder strike to knock him off the balcony, which was seven or eight stories high, while he was holding the child.

Then, as Higashino Akira saw, not only did he not die after falling from such a height, but aside from limping, he also bounced around quite quickly.

As Nozaki Kazuhiro was speaking, Higashino Akira, whose physical condition had improved and whose eyesight had twice been far beyond the level of ordinary people, noticed a short-haired woman with pink hair jogging out from the entrance of the apartment building, leaning against the wall.

It is Makoto Higa.

Baoyue tugged at the hem of Dongye Ming's clothes, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

This time, Higashino Akira nodded and did not refuse her again.

According to Nozaki Kazuhiro, the big boss inside, Makoto Higa's older sister, is indeed a very powerful being. If it weren't for the need to conserve power, he probably would have already resolved everything. With her as a backup, there's no fear of any unexpected events.

Let's go!

Xiao Yexiao gave a soft cheer, her expression remaining calm, but her excitement was palpable.

Watching this little third-grade girl, with her short legs, carrying a bunch of round dolls in a large net, rush into the barrier and set up another array around the apartment building, Higashino Akira summoned another of his top henchmen and assigned him to her side.

"I'll lend you the courtesan first. She's good at protracted battles and large-scale warfare, so you won't have trouble getting those graduates back later."

"Lord Higashikata, I like..."

"Thank you, but I'm not interested in little li."

Behind her, Hōgetsu Eiko covered her mouth and chuckled as she listened to their amusing conversation. Although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't go in and take the risk, there was nothing she could do about it.

I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm out alone with the midnight snack sauce.

Meanwhile, Akira Higashino turned his gaze to Makoto Higa, who had finished talking to her boyfriend about the current situation, picked up the little girl again, and was looking at him with stubborn, pleading eyes, without saying a word.

"Mr. Higashino..."

"Feel sorry."

Higashino Akira interrupted her before she could say anything rude. Two pale gold female spirits dressed as shrine maidens appeared out of thin air on either side of him. They raised their hands toward the woman, or rather the little girl in her arms, gathering their spiritual power. They were ready to attack at any moment if the woman took another step forward.

Chapter 142 I Have a Plan!

A dozen minutes later, a surge of blood suddenly gushed out from the balcony of the apartment building.

Then flames shot into the sky within the barrier, and golden butterflies danced in the air.

Finally, peace returned.

Two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerged from the exit at the bottom of the building.

One was dressed in a pure white shrine maiden's outfit, with mottled bloodstains on her body.

Another small figure was dragging a large, locked doll in a net bag with one hand, while the other hand was tightly wrapped around the neck of a small purple kitten doll that was still trembling and struggling, with blood flowing from its eyes.

The elegantly dressed, charming and beautiful courtesan spirit returned to Higashino Akira's side, her complexion slightly enhanced, but she still dared not rebel. After respectfully bowing to him, she disappeared.

Baoyue approached and nodded to the deity.

Higashino Akira carefully used his aura-gazing technique on them to verify their true names before allowing Senhun to remove the barrier.

[Name: Higa Kotoko]

[Qualification: Shenzhen Gold]

For the first time, what was identified in a woman was not just her temperament, but also her character, and at such a high level.

Is this woman even human?

Akira Higashino pondered to himself.

Without pausing, she walked up to the seemingly promising young human god and bowed respectfully.

"Kotsuko Higa, thank you for your help."

It was only then that Higashino Akira saw her face clearly. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but rather elegant and refined. She had a strong and assertive demeanor, which contrasted sharply with her appearance. However, the long, twisted scar on her face ruined her overall beauty and added to her imposing and unapproachable aura.

"It just so happens to be the right time."

Higashino Akira nodded, not taking too much credit.

After all, they actually got the better deal here.

"May I ask if you, Qinzi, know your name?"

During their conversation, the two rebellious and naive young couple, carrying their child, came to the side, interrupting their communication. Without warning, Higa Kotoko turned around and punched Nozaki Kazuhiro's boyfriend in the face. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep once again.

Then he turned around and bowed slightly to Higashino Akira apologetically.

"Kotoko will never forget your kindness. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me. Makoto has my contact information."

"I still have some family matters and business to finish up here. Please forgive me for not being able to entertain you properly and for not being able to see you off."

With a nonchalant wave, Higashino Akira turned and left with the Takatsuki sisters, showing no intention of staying any longer.

After all, the demonic possession has been dealt with now. So many people died, and they were probably all quite famous figures in the psychic world. We'll be busy from now on.

Those things were irrelevant to him, and he had no interest in getting involved.

Behind him.

Seeing her older sister's still calm expression, Makoto Higa hugged the little girl Chisa in her arms even tighter, and took two steps back in fear.

"The Po-Xi Demon has been severely injured and captured, but as long as there are still aborted and abandoned children, new Po-Xi Demons will appear sooner or later. This child has His mark on her. If it is not dealt with, those vengeful spirits will gather on her first, rather than the one who was captured."

"do not want!"

Makoto Higa thought her sister wasn't going to let Chisa go yet, and as her sister kept getting closer, she could only shake her head and back away while tears streamed down her face.

then…

Snapped--!

The eldest sister slapped her across the face, and Higa Kotoko immediately pulled the little girl out of her sister's arms, pressed her head down, and began chanting a Shinto exorcism incantation.

Ignoring the terrifying scene of the little girl suddenly opening her eyes, her eyes gray and white, and her face covered in purplish-black veins showing through her skin, without the active interference of the Po-Xiu Demon and her silly sister, the spiritual energy flowed smoothly and easily, severing the connection between the little girl and the Po-Xiu Demon.

Then he threw her back into his sister's arms.

"Be prepared, her health will not be good for a long time to come. Given your current life and financial situation, it will probably be very difficult for you to take good care of her."

"You should leave before the cleanup crew arrives."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Makoto Higa thanked her sister Chisa while holding her in her arms, then turned and ran away down the dark concrete road.

"Bring your boyfriend along too."

Kotoko Higa kicked Nozaki Kazuhiro, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, and the violent movement woke him up.

Then I ignored them.

He walked alone toward the altar where corpses lay strewn about, intending to see if there were any people he could save and to perform a ritual to help their souls find peace.
