"It seems this body died without my knowledge... Thank goodness... I was just scaring myself..."

"Hey, what exactly are you? Why can you move even though you're a skeleton? And what is your purpose in capturing me and Mai-sensei?"

Rika questioned the skeleton, seemingly having overcome some of her fear of it after this period of adjustment.

Faced with the girl's barrage of questions, the skeleton merely glanced at her before continuing with his work, while talking about other things.

"This woman is a teacher? And the nearest school—you're a student at Tokyo Gakuen, right?"

"so what?"

"It seems this woman I happened to grab has brought me quite a few surprises! Since she's a teacher, then the endless stream of students at Tokyo Academy will become my vessels. I'm really looking forward to it, hahahahaha—"

Crunch!

Because it laughed so hard, its jaw fell off. The skeleton just tilted its head, bent down, picked it up, and put it back in place with a few snaps.

How disgusting...

Rika looked at its actions with disdain, but also noticed the unusual nature of its words: "Vessel? What does that mean?"

At this moment, the skeleton finally finished what it was doing. After showing a satisfied expression at the unknown liquid in the test tube, it turned to face Rika, pointing at Mai, who was unconscious in the cage, while its mouth opened and closed.

"It's very simple. My true form... is not what you see. Once I possess this woman's body, I will have another life. Not only you, but also the students of other academies will suffer the same fate!"

"You bastard..."

Hearing the skeleton's ambitious words, Rika realized that it seemed that because of her words, the other party had extended its clutches to the students of Tokyo Academy, and she immediately felt a little guilty.

If I still had my whale clip with me, I could have stopped this guy's plot...

"Out of courtesy, let me introduce myself. My name is Soul, but you can also call me by my code name—S!"

……

Chapter 90 Eroding the Holy Light!

Soul?

soul?

Rika's face was filled with surprise.

"Are you... a member of the Illuminati?"

Not long ago, she heard from Xia Mu that members of the Illuminati were spread all over the world. It was already outrageous that three of them would appear in Tokyo, so how could there be a fourth?

Her words instantly piqued the skeleton's interest: "Young man, I'm surprised you know about the Illuminati! But you're right, I am indeed a member of that organization, hahaha!"

"really……"

Rika's eyes blazed with fury.

Since the incident where Z used the demon fox statue to corrupt the shrine, her hatred for the Illuminati has reached level 999, which is enough for Rika to completely suppress her fear of skeletons!

As a result, the skeleton in front of her completely ignored her murderous gaze and turned to walk towards Mai's cage.

"I thought I was already incredibly lucky to have such a special woman, but I never expected that this little guy who came to my door would also be hiding a secret I didn't know about!"

"But that's alright. Now that we've captured you, there will be plenty of opportunities to uncover your secrets. The most important thing now is to verify whether the potion I developed will actually work—"

As it spoke, it casually picked up a test tube from the table; an unknown liquid inside was bubbling and gurgling, as if it might burst out at any moment.

"Hey! What are you planning to do to Mai-sensei? Stop it right now!"

Rika couldn't help but yell at them.

She finally realized that this guy was extremely obsessed with Mai-sensei. Judging from his words, it seemed that he had even specially developed a corresponding potion to achieve certain goals, which made Rika even more puzzled.

At this moment, the skeleton had arrived in front of the cage. It bent down slightly, and as it lowered its head, its empty eye sockets looked into the hemp clothing inside, as if filled with a burning desire.

"It won't hurt to tell you."

"Speaking of which, when I first discovered her, I noticed that there seemed to be a strange power within her!"

"This is a power I've never seen before!"

"It's not powerful, but I can feel that the soul within me felt a long-forgotten fear the moment I touched that power!"

"Unfortunately, this foolish woman seems unaware of the existence of this power. Fortunately, I happen to possess the ability to transfer the vessel!"

"Once we possess this guy's body, this power won't be wasted. Who knows, there might even be a chance to rejoin the organization later, hahaha..."

Rika couldn't listen to what the skeleton was saying after that, because she noticed that the power the skeleton was talking about seemed to have a strange sense of déjà vu!

Considering her relationship with Natsuki-sensei, Rika suddenly had a guess in her mind: could it be that the true nature of the power mentioned by the Illuminati member was—

Sure enough, while Rika was pondering, the skeleton had already extended its skeletal claws. Before it could even touch the unconscious Ma Yi in the cage, a golden light suddenly emanated from her body!

hum!

The intense aura of holy light confirmed Rika's thoughts. She instantly realized that Mai-sensei must also possess something similar to a "holy artifact"!

It's sizzling!

Bathed in holy light, the skeleton was clearly affected. White smoke rose from its skeletal claws, as if it were being corroded. Even its exposed bones were creaking, as if it were afraid of encountering a natural enemy!

However, the skeleton burst into laughter again:

"Hahaha, this is the power! Sure enough, no matter how many times I touch it, it makes my soul tremble!"

"I'm getting more and more excited!"

"If I could completely possess this woman's body, I might even be able to put up a fight against those who wield forbidden species!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

It laughed loudly and poured the test tube directly towards the holy light. At that moment, the unknown liquid inside surged with a strange black light.

That was the power of a demon concentrated to its limit!

As the blackness surged, roaring heads emerged from within, appearing frenzied and filled with terrifying resentment!

It is unknown what method the skeleton used to extract the power of these ghosts and concentrate it as much as possible. This concentration of ghost power already has the potential to erode the Holy Light!

Sure enough, when the black light mixed with the power of various ghosts appeared, the holy light was constantly dissolving. Especially at the moment the two touched each other, the holy light was severely affected and visibly shrank back into Mai's body.

Even at this moment, Mai's brows were deeply furrowed, and her expression was quite distressed.

She writhed restlessly, beads of sweat instantly gathering and soaking her clothes, while also highlighting the hazy curves beneath, adding a strange allure under the reflection of black and gold light.

"Um……"

Mai let out a weak groan. Even though she was still unconscious, she seemed to sense that something terrible was about to happen to her.

Physical resistance is the most obvious symbol!

"The power of the Holy Light has diminished!"

Rika couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Thinking about what was about to happen, she kept ramming into the cage, trying to break free.

However, it is clear that after losing the sacred artifact, Rika's physique returned to its previous state. Even with all sorts of methods, she could not change it and could only watch helplessly as the power of the holy light completely disappeared!

The moment the golden light faded, the power of the demon enveloped Mai's entire body, the ropes binding her hands and feet snapped, and she floated into the air under the influence of the demon's power.

"Hahaha, it finally worked! I can finally... possess this body and use this power!"

The skeleton laughed loudly, and a thick ghostly aura also appeared on its body. The next moment, it condensed into a pale purple soul. Its face could not be seen, but its evil aura was still revealed, bringing an even deeper darkness to the surroundings!

Having lost its master, the skeleton collapsed to the ground, while its soul rushed straight into the air towards Mai, who was being controlled by the ghost's power!

"Humans, I've arrived!!!"

At the same time, although Mai's eyes were tightly closed, her pale lips slowly opened, uttering the name of a certain man:

"Xia...mu..."

……

Chapter 91 [The Disqualified]

boom!

A loud bang suddenly came from the ceiling above, accompanied by cracking sounds, and a huge rock suddenly fell from above!

Rumble!

Thick dust instantly filled a large area of ​​the space, and Rika couldn't help but cough. She squinted and looked at a figure slowly emerging from the dust, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

It's that man, he's here!

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Natsuki spoke softly to Mai.

The ghostly power emanating from the woman in his arms had dissipated. She seemed to feel a strong arm and a familiar presence. Even though she was not yet awake, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing this, Xia Mu felt a pang of shame. Fortunately, he was relieved to find that Mai was alright.

What followed was an uncontrollable surge of anger!

Whoosh!

At the same time, a broken stone flew over. Xia Mu didn't even look at it, and kicked it away, sending the stone flying into the distance with another booming sound.

"Damn it, who dares to interrupt my good time?!"

The skeleton reappeared. Due to the failure of the previous operation, its soul returned to the skeleton frame. Its white coat turned into strips of cloth hanging on its body, revealing the bones underneath. It looked somewhat disheveled.

But it is clear that it is not as fragile as an ordinary skeleton. It was able to easily throw away a rock that weighed at least 200 pounds. Its bone strength must be amazing!

Bang bang bang!

It slammed its fist into the ground, producing a series of dull thuds, and in just a few moments, it left clearly visible cracks in the ground!

After venting his anger, the skeleton seemed to have finally calmed down a bit, and then looked at Xia Mu again with his dark, hollow eyes.

"Impressive physical attributes. Are you one of us...? No, you don't have any ghostly aura. What is your background?"

In the skeleton's perception, the man seemed to be just like an ordinary person, not showing much of a unique aura, but recalling what had just happened, it couldn't help but feel wary.

On the other side, Natsuki did not respond to the skeleton's words after hearing them, but instead walked to the cage where Rika was imprisoned.

"Teacher Xia Mu! I..."
