What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Chapter 169 This is when the power of the priestess is needed.

"When did Li Chen become so stubborn?"

After venting their anger, Lu Jie and the others, having calmed down, began to realize that something was wrong when they saw Li Chen with a bruised and swollen face. Then they remembered that there was a "supporter" on the sidelines, so they looked at Misaki Shokuhou with pleading eyes.

"Even if you beat him to death, it won't do any good. This person has been affected by some kind of ability or magic and cannot reveal the mastermind behind it all."

Misaki Shokuhou crossed her arms and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Li Chen:

Upon hearing this, Li Chen, who was lying on the ground panting, trembled violently, as if he had been told the truth. The trembling caused by the pain lessened.

"Huh?! Then we dialed the wrong number?"

Li Linghan and the others were stunned upon hearing this.

However, Misaki Shokuhou immediately dispelled their misunderstanding.

"No~ You didn't hit the wrong person. After all, he wasn't forced. Moreover, this student Li Chen has a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment towards your student council president, and even—jealousy."

Li Chen's body began to tremble violently. He felt as if he had been stripped naked, with no secrets left on him!

Damn it! If I had broken the remote control in her hand just now—

"Hmm? You think breaking this remote control will disable my abilities? Hehehe~ How naive."

As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou opened her bag and showed him a bunch of remote controls inside.

"I can 'use' any remote control!"

Upon hearing Misaki Shokuhou's words, Li Chen finally couldn't hold back any longer and cried out in pain, "Damn it!"

"Miss Shokuhou, what should we do now? Should we wait for the officials to come and handle it, or—"

Li Linghan walked over to Misaki Shokuhou and asked with a worried expression.

After all, when faced with events involving higher levels of power, these ordinary superhumans who have awakened their superpowers are no different from ordinary people.

"No rush, let me make a video call and have a friend check on her so we can determine whether it's a superpower or magic."

Misaki Shokuhou raised her hand to soothe Li Linghan's emotions and indicated that she still had a way.

"Wow, this senior really has a wide network of connections!"

Li Linghan showed little surprise upon hearing this, only offering this one sigh.

Clearly, they were stunned into numbness by the shock of Misaki Shokuhou and the others. Even with this escalation of the crisis, they didn't feel much anxiety. Instead, they felt at ease, as if any problem could be easily solved as long as their senior's friend arrived.

Misaki Shokuhou then left the ward with Junko Hokaze and took out her phone to call for more people from her collection of figurines.

However, the first person Misaki Shokuhou shook was not the extraordinary powerhouse in the display case, but Yotsuya Miko, who had only recently become a substitute Shinigami.

"Oh, shall I take a look?"

When Yotsuya Miko heard Shokuhou Misaki specifically mention her in the video call, a helpless expression appeared on her face, as if to say, "Am I going to die too?" She hadn't even mastered her spiritual pressure yet, and now she was already being exorcised?

"No, no, no, I'm not asking you to exorcise spirits, I'm just asking you to see with your own eyes~"

In the picture, Misaki Shokuhou waves her hand.

She was then seen returning to her ward with her phone in hand.

At this moment, the ward was divided into three groups of people. One group consisted of Li Chen's old subordinates who were guarding him and dragged him to a corner of the ward. Another group was Sun Yue, who hoped that Misaka Mikoto, the big boss, could give him some pointers. The last group was Li Linghan and others who were guarding Zhao Qing's bedside.

Upon seeing Misaki Shokuhou return from outside the ward, Li Linghan eagerly went to greet her.

Has your friend agreed to come?

"Of course, but there's no need for that. She's right here, I'll show you right away!"

Misaki Shokuhou held up her phone and shook it. Everyone could vaguely see Miko Yotsuya in the video, who looked like a beautiful girl.

Although they had said this to themselves many times, they still couldn't help but wonder, just how many incredibly talented and beautiful girls did that senior know?!

For an ordinary person, encountering an Ability User like Misaki Shokuhou and her three companions, even just one of them, is a less likely chance than winning the lottery!

But then everyone realized that if the friend wasn't actually there, how could they watch it on a mobile phone video?

"This isn't cyber fortune telling, Miss Shokuhou. Can you really tell anything just by looking at something on a phone?"

Seeing that Misaki Shokuhou pointed her phone camera at Zhao Qing on the bed, Li Linghan couldn't help but ask a question, even though he trusted his senior's female companions.

"Ah, I see it."

"As a result, before Misaki Shokuhou could even explain, Miko Yotsuya on the phone had already noticed something amiss."

Li Linghan: ————

You're making me very embarrassed.

Couldn't you have waited for Misaki Shokuhou to say something before you spoke?

"This woman was surrounded by a strange black aura, and one of the lines connected to the outside through the window, but it was unclear where it connected to."

Yotsuya Miko briefly described what she had seen to everyone.

"And the person sitting there (Li Chen) also has a layer of black mist on his body, though not as thick as the one on the bed, but there is also a line connecting him to some unknown place outside the window."

After hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhao Qing on the bed and Li Chen next to her, but no matter how they looked, they could not find the black mist that Yotsuya Miko had mentioned.

"Clearly, this is not caused by superpowers—but by some kind of evil magic."

Because most of the Xuanmen people I had met before were righteous people who obeyed the government. The only one who could be considered a villain was Haji Gao, who was invited by the Gao family. But he wasn't an evil cultivator; he was just after money.

And what they encountered this time was probably the genuine Xuanmen evil cultivator from the Divine Land.

Unfortunately, when Li Linghan called the police, he was unaware that this was the work of evil cultivators. The people who came to investigate also treated it as a possible case of superpower-related crimes. Otherwise, Huang Qingque from the Shanghai Abnormal Events Management Bureau would have known everything when she came to take a look.

"So, the student council president is cursed?"

Li Linghan asked in a low voice.

"I guess so."

Misaki Shokuhou nodded.

Since it was Yotsuya Miko who saw it, it must have been a curse.

"curse?"

On the other end of the phone, upon hearing the word "curse" in Li Linghan's words, the figures related to exorcism in the display case all turned around. Several figures from the Tokyo Ravens and Twin Star Exorcists display cases couldn't wait to raise their hands and suggest that they take the stage.

Only Kikyo and the others in the Inuyasha display case seemed very laid-back, showing no signs of fighting or grabbing.

"Ha! Looks like it's finally my turn to shine!"

Meanwhile, Sanae Kochiya in the Gensokyo display case had an eager look on her face. She had been robbed of her chance by Reimu Hakurei before, and this time she was determined to make her appearance!

Let everyone witness the power of the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine!

Reimu Hakurei: If you want to go, then go. Why are you dragging me into this?
