I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

"Seven teams have been deployed and the area lockdown is complete."

"Alright, all teams, stand by." Inside the command vehicle, Inspector Yamato, dressed in a black suit and with well-developed pectoral muscles, calmly issued the order.

He picked up a miniature headset and held it behind him.

"Master Yu Chuan, everything is ready. The target is the spirit that we failed to exorcise two weeks ago. The blockade period we applied for is three hours. Please make sure to finish within three hours."

"If you encounter any problems, please let us know immediately, and we will provide assistance from outside."

"The rest I'll leave to Master Yu Chuan."

In the back seat of the car, Yuukawa Arashi, who was silently reciting scriptures, slowly opened her eyes.

An old, gilded monk's staff lay across her lap, taking up the entire back seat. The twelve gold rings on it gleamed in the darkness.

She had just rushed back to the temple to retrieve this; there would likely be a fierce battle tonight.

"Okay, leave it to me."

She took the headset and fastened it, then calmly got out of the car, one hand in a palm shape, the other holding a Zen staff, the golden rings clinking crisply, as she walked into the Bluestone Park.

"May Master Yu Chuan's martial arts prosper!"

The rest of the action team shouted into their headsets.

Hanekawa Arashi was familiar with the route because she had been here before.

Upon entering Qingshi Park, under the cover of night, we walked straight through the cherry blossom grove in the southeast and quickly made our way to the waterfall hill along the wooden boardwalk in the woods.

"Everything is normal at Waterfall Hill. It seems the target hasn't appeared yet, but please be careful." Inside the command vehicle, Inspector Yamato put on his headset, ready to play the role of off-site support.

"Got it?"

Yuukawa Arashi's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

"What happened?" Inspector Yamato stood up nervously. The red dot representing Hanekawa Arashi on the screen was still at least a kilometer away from the yellow triangular area.

“There’s something else outside the target area, possibly some other supernatural phenomenon.” Yu Chuanlan stared intently at the strange black shadow on the boardwalk not far away.

The power of Buddhist scriptures imbued her eyes with a Buddhist light, allowing her to see through the dangers lurking in the darkness.

Although the dark figure in the distance was stumbling and unsteady, it was clear that she was its target.

"Supernatural? What are the characteristics?" Inspector Yamato gestured to the person next to him to open the database and prepare to match the most similar file records.

"It has four heads, many tentacles, and makes a lot of noise when it walks."

Inspector Yamato looked at his subordinate, who took off his headphones and shook his head: "No, Inspector. The compatibility is too low."

“Understood. It might attack with sound waves. Just to be safe, I need to cut off communications.” Yu Chuanlan remained remarkably calm.

Before Inspector Yamato could speak, Arashi Hanekawa reached out and turned off her headset.

With a flick of his right hand, the staff in his hand jingled.

In an instant, the power of the Buddhist scriptures flowed throughout my body.

She gripped the staff at an angle, the tip pointing at the dark figure.

With a light touch of the toes, he burst into motion.

The staff swung around in the air, creating a whooshing sound.

As the staff moved, it carried rays of Buddhist light, and when it reached Shiramoto Jun, it transformed into a small, crystal-clear Buddha.

The fat-headed, big-eared Buddha, with his staff, chuckled and stretched out his hand, clapping forward.

With just one palm strike, one can suppress evil spirits!

The moment Hanekawa Arashi struck, Shiraki Shun, who was already panting heavily, recognized him.

He was overjoyed and immediately raised his arms and shouted.

"feather--"

boom!

The tip of the staff made a dull thud as it struck something solid.

Shiramu Shun shuddered, a tingling pain shooting through his right arm, almost causing him to let go and drop the girl on his right.

"Hanakawa-san! It's me—"

"Hey! Prajnaparamita Hum!"

Hanekawa Arashi remained unmoved.

Some ghosts can see into a person's mind. The best way to deal with such ghosts is to ignore whatever they say.

Believe this: corpses cannot speak!

The blows came one after another, relentlessly falling without mercy.

Seeing that Yuukawa Arashi wouldn't listen to him, Shiraki Shun frowned.

Do you think that by restricting your actions, you have no way to cope?

Don't underestimate people, monks!

He spoke decisively before the next blow came.

"3--"

The staff paused for a moment.

Yu Chuanlan's pretty face was full of doubt.

The idea of ​​someone reciting pi is truly unprecedented.

Could it be

She took out her phone and turned on the flashlight.

He exclaimed in surprise.

"Shiroki-kun!!"

After a buzzing sound, the communication frequency returned to normal.

"Inspector Yamato, mission complete. The target has been released from the dead, and the missing person has been found. Please dispatch rescue personnel and prepare three more stretchers." Hanekawa Arashi's voice came through the earpiece.

Inspector Yamato was stunned: "Master Hanekawa, are you sure? You're still over a thousand meters away from the target area."

"Yes, I'll explain the details when I get back." Yu Chuanlan then ended the call.

He turned around and bowed deeply to Shiramu Jun, feeling extremely guilty.

"Shiraki-kun, I'm sorry! It's all my fault. I should have investigated more thoroughly."

Shiraki Shun leaned against the tree trunk and waved his hand weakly.

He no longer wanted to talk.

First, I carried a 150-kilogram load for nearly 1,000 meters.

Then, for no reason, he was beaten up.

Exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Even though he wasn't feeling well, Shiraki Jun still mustered his spirits and asked.

"Hanakawa-san, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I was hired by the police station to perform an exorcism here."

Do you have a job?

Shiraki Shun urged, "Then Hanekawa-san, you should go and get on with your business. Don't waste time here."

Now that they have made contact with the outside world, they can simply stay put and wait for rescue.

Don't delay Yuukawa Arashi's exorcism of the spirits.

Yu Chuanlan remained silent for a long time before finally saying something with a hint of helplessness.

"That shouldn't be needed anymore."

Shiraki Shun sensed that something was off and tentatively asked a question.

Could it be that...?

"I robbed it again?"

Yu Chuanlan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then what about your commission?" Bai Mujun hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"It's over." Hanekawa Arashi clearly knew what Shiraki Shun wanted to say.

As if sensing Shiraki Jun's frustration, she took the initiative to comfort him.

"But this kind of thing is not important, Shiraki-san, don't take it to heart, as long as the supernatural thing is eliminated."

"That won't do." Bai Mujun was a little angry.

You're just going to give up a reward of hundreds of thousands of yen?

What kind of family are they?

A well-fed girl doesn't know the hunger of a starving man!

He said decisively, "Even if Yuukawa-san eliminates this ghost, consider it repayment for the favor I did for robbing your spirit yesterday."

"Ah? Shiraki-kun, this, this can't be!" Hanekawa Arashi waved her hands frantically, her staff nearly injuring Shiraki Shun again.

Even though she did nothing, she still took credit for Shiramu Jun's work.

Such a nun should go before the Buddha to apologize!

"No need to say anything, just promise me." Bai Mujun's tone left no room for refusal.

Only in this way can we avoid waste.

Although it seems like I haven't earned anything.

But once Hanekawa Arashi receives her payment and offers her a hundred thousand yen as a token of gratitude, how could she possibly refuse?

Sensing the sincerity in Shiraki Shun's words, Yu Chuanlan remained silent for a moment.
