In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

A girl with flaxen hair with a touch of pink highlights was blushing as she tried again to lift the suitcase and put it on the luggage rack. However, she was gritting her teeth, and her delicate cheeks were red from excessive force. She could only lift the suitcase halfway. She tried hard but failed the first time, and she had even less strength to do it the second time.

"Let me help you put it on."

Not wanting to continue being bothered by the noise, Reimu decided to take action.

"How can this be embarrassing? My suitcase is packed with a lot of things and it's quite heavy."

"I'm strong, and you're just a box."

Are you from mainland China? This accent always gives me a sense of déjà vu. Isn't this the same accent that Ouyang, that bastard, had when he first came to the island nation?

Under the girl's surprised gaze, Reimu lifted the suitcase with one hand, which she couldn't lift with both hands, and placed it on the luggage rack casually as if it were an empty cardboard box.

"What did you put in here? It's really heavy."

"They're some clothes, cosmetics, and the merchandise I recommend. Oh, and some local specialties I brought back from China for my brother, along with some local foods. They're delicious snacks, but since you can't bring food into the country, I bought all of this at the mainland specialty store at the Kyoto airport."

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet."

The girl remembered that she had talked to Reimu for so long but hadn't formally introduced herself yet, so she extended her hand towards Reimu, "Hello, my name is Tang Keke, and I'm from the mainland visiting my brother who's studying abroad on the island."

"Hakurei Reimu."

It’s okay as long as your surname is not Ou.

"Hakurei? Your last name is the same as the largest shrine in Kyoto."

Coco said in surprise.

“That’s my family’s property.”

"She's actually the lady from the shrine?!"

Coco suddenly became excited. "It feels like something out of an anime! When I went to Hakurei Shrine, the shrine maidens said they were all part-time workers from nearby high schools. They were pretty and cute, but they didn't have that shrine maiden vibe. Miss Hakurei, you... feel more like a high school girl."

"Are you secretly saying that I don't look like a witch?"

"No, no, I'm not very fluent in Japanese. Maybe I just used some words incorrectly."

Facing Reimu's frown, Coco quickly waved her hands to explain.

Oh, why do I feel like I've heard this girl say this before? Didn't that bastard Ouyang use the same phrase when he was secretly mocking me before? When in doubt, I'm a foreigner, right? Damn outsider!

Gulu~

The sound coming from Coco's stomach interrupted Reimu's thoughts. When Reimu was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, her own stomach started to growl, even louder than Coco's. However, compared to the somewhat embarrassed Coco, Reimu seemed much more open and confident. It was nothing, she was just used to it.

"Miss Hakurei, you haven't had breakfast either. That's perfect. To thank you, I'll treat you to breakfast."

"Let me be clear, I'm a bread pie, and I don't eat grilled fish and pickled radishes for breakfast."

Reimu said seriously that it was just because the breakfast at Hakurei Shrine had been grilled fish, pickled radish, miso soup and rice for decades, and Reimu wanted to change the taste.

"There should be bread for sale on the dining car. Let's go check it out."

There were not many people on the dining car early in the morning, and even the attendants were not there. Fortunately, the way of ordering food on this dining car was no different from that in restaurants on the ground. You just had to buy the ticket for the set meal you wanted at the meal ticket sales place and then put it directly on the attendant's table. When they came to work later, they would bring the prepared breakfast.

Just as they had said, Reimu ordered a Western breakfast of coffee and a croissant, while Coco ordered a Japanese set meal of rice, grilled fish, and kimchi.

"I often eat bread for breakfast at home, but now that I'm traveling abroad, I want to change my taste."

Coco said so.

As expected, traveling means moving from a place you are tired of living in to a place others are tired of living in, and replacing the food you are tired of eating with the food others are tired of eating. Anyway, Reimu doesn't want to eat the rice and grilled fish set meal anymore.

Coco and Reimu had just sat down when the train started moving with a slight shake. Although there were many people on the Shinkansen that departed at six o'clock, it was too early and most passengers chose to take a nap on the train. This left only Reimu and Coco in the dining car. When the steward came to the dining car, he didn't need to check any tables and directly served breakfast to Coco and Reimu.

"This is your breakfast set. It's just been loaded onto the truck. Please enjoy it."

The female flight attendant in a fitted hip-hugging short skirt brought breakfast with a smile. The sweetness of this smile was so great that if some people who love uniforms saw it, they would feel that they didn't need to add sugar to their coffee, because this smile already made the coffee super sweet. But the one who saw this smile was Reimu, and she just felt like she was just a sugar pill.

"Eh~~"

Looking at the coffee and croissant in front of her, Reimu sighed deeply.

"What's wrong? Miss Hakurei."

Looking at the exquisite breakfast in front of her, Coco immediately took out her phone to take a picture. After hearing Reimu's sigh, she couldn't help but look up and ask, "Is the coffee too bitter? If you don't mind, I can trade it for miso soup."

Coco can totally accept the grilled fish with rice and kimchi, but she feels that she still cannot accept the miso soup for the time being. This thing... has no taste. It tastes like a bowl of brown hot water. It feels worse than the Sanjidi soup that her brother made in three minutes.

"You waited until the car started moving before getting out. Once inside, you couldn't wait to seal both doors. You even poisoned the coffee and miso soup. Where did you come from? You're so clumsy, it's like your first mission. Are you a new youkai?"

"I, I don't know what you are talking about, passenger."

Although the flight attendant was still smiling, it looked like the smile was about to fall apart.

"I'm suddenly old-"

Reimu suddenly stopped and looked behind her head warily, then looked around cautiously. After confirming that Yakumo Yukari was really not there, she continued with confidence, "I'm already very annoyed that this old woman suddenly forced me to go on a business trip to Tokyo. Now you want me to work overtime when I can finally have bread for breakfast. You are already seeking your own death."

Hmm? Could it be that Japanese people really become inexplicably like in the anime?

Coco, who was confused about the situation, looked at Reimu who suddenly spoke incomprehensible but very childish words, and silently took a bite of the grilled fish, thinking that it was just the characteristic of Japanese people suddenly being childish. Then Coco almost got a fishbone stuck in her throat because she saw the flight attendant who was smiling a second ago suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed it into Reimu's neck.

Chapter 13 Memory Clearance.

"Not only do I have to work overtime to clean you up, but I also have to do extra work to clear my memory. I clearly just want to sit back and relax, so why is work pouring down on me like raindrops?"

With just two fingers, Reimu easily caught the flight attendant's dagger.

"Blood vampire poison—"

"Okay, okay, shut up."

The flight attendant opened her mouth as wide as she could, seemingly preparing to use something like a poison gas spray, but Reimu covered her mouth with a talisman. The talisman was like it was sewn to her mouth, not only did it block the poison gas back, but she couldn't remove the talisman from her mouth even if she pulled with both hands.

Are you a witch!?

The flight attendant, who had just become a ghost for a few days, suddenly remembered that when serving breakfast, Coco called Reimu Miss Hakurei, from Kyoto, with the surname Hakurei, who could use talismans to seal her mouth. It was almost like writing "She is a shrine maiden" on her face.

"You want to ask me if I'm a miko? Right now, I'm just a high school girl on a business trip full of resentment!"

"Take my hit and the Hakurei Shrine baseball team will hit a home run."

Reimu swung the Royal Coin, a magical weapon, like a baseball bat, and hit the conductor by the tail end. The thin body hit the closed door as if it had hit a train. There was a loud noise, and Coco could even feel the train shaking under her butt, but the door was intact.

"This this……"

Coco curled up into a ball, like a poor little squirrel.

“Just treat it as a roadshow.”

Reimu said to Coco: "Anyway, after we defeat this weak demon, I will have to clear your memory. It doesn't matter whether you watch it now or not."

"Can I take a picture of it then?"

"Of course not. You don't want me to smash your phone just because I can't find your video file, do you?"

Reimu said unhappily.

The flight attendant got up from the ground. The talisman paper on his mouth was still not torn off. All the blood that came out of his mouth was blocked and flowed back into his stomach. The flight attendant spat out a mouthful of blood and then drank it himself.

Although "smoke coming out of all seven orifices" is just an idiom, it also illustrates to some extent that the human body is not a completely enclosed space. For example, if you suck your snot too hard, you can feel a salty taste in your mouth. Since the nose is connected to the mouth, the poisonous gas in the mouth can naturally be sprayed out of the nose.

The originally small nostril suddenly expanded from a peanut to half a boiled egg, and purple poisonous smoke spewed out of the flight attendant's nose. Reimu couldn't understand why another guy used poisonous smoke to attack. Are all the evil spirits in Kyoto so uncreative that they only know how to use the poisonous smoke skill?

"Don't just sit there, come behind me."

Reimu pulled Coco behind her, drew out a piece of talisman, and erected a protective shield to isolate the poisonous smoke from herself and Coco.

"If I were alone, I could just go and kill her in the toxic smoke. But now there's an ordinary person around, so I have to figure out what to do."

"Um, sorry?"

Coco cautiously asked if she wanted to apologize.

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong. How come you like red bean paste more than me, a Japanese?"

Reimu looked at the flight attendant on the other side of the poisonous smoke, "If anyone wants to apologize, it should be these guys who inexplicably emerged from the ground, inexplicably poisoned our breakfast, and then refused to let me kill them directly."

"Hey you."

Reimu yelled at the flight attendant: "Did you hear me? Apologize to me quickly. You should apologize for being a human being."

"Human? The moment I drank the adult's blood, I was no longer a fragile species like human."

The flight attendant finally tore off the talisman, but only tore off a large piece of flesh along with it. "You humans are only worthy of being nutrients for me to become more beautiful."

"Every time I eat a person, my skin becomes smoother and I age a little younger. It is an honor for you, the people of the old times, to be a stepping stone on my road to beauty."

"What's this about Chuunibyou? Hey, can you please not act out in front of foreign tourists? This will only reinforce the stereotype that Japanese people are all Chuunibyou."

Ling Meng said angrily: "Just let me save you with a piece of talisman paper. I promise to make your death painful."

"I can't beat a violent witch like you."

"what!?"

Reimu thinks that talisman paper cannot be used, and she should use the imperial coin to smash her head.

"My poisonous smoke can't hurt you, but the humans behind it can't stand it."

The flight attendant's hand was already on the door. This seal on the door was also the result of cooperation with Quan Xing. However, she had only been a ghost for a few days and had not learned any magic yet. Instead, she got a refined magic weapon from Quan Xing. The function was also very simple, which was to lock the door. Not only would it prevent the door from being opened, but it also had the effect of dispersing idlers, making people outside subconsciously avoid this door.

After only being a ghost for a few days, the attendant had already eaten several people by relying on her advantage as a dining car attendant on her first train. Her hunting method was simple. She added her own poison to the food, but it would not take effect immediately. She wanted to watch the poison take effect on humans, then bang on the car door in despair, and then die in front of the locked door. This would greatly increase her appetite.

The carriage is now filled with deadly poisonous smoke. Once the door behind them is opened, none of the passengers who are still asleep will be able to get off the train. Now, as long as the attendant unlocks the door, they will all die.

Reimu didn't say anything, and the pervasive poisonous smoke prevented the flight attendant from seeing Reimu's face clearly. They could only vaguely see that Reimu's face had turned dark.

"Ms. Boli, this won't work. There are dozens of people behind that door. If the door is opened, everyone will be poisoned to death!"

Even though her legs were weak from fear at the drastic changes in the world and her voice was trembling, Coco still held Reimu's hand, hoping that she could save the passenger behind the door.

"It's no use! Because I'm going to open this door now!"

The flight attendant burst into laughter, then pulled hard, trying to open the door that separated the dining car. However, the door did not open. Instead, the flight attendant's elbow touched the door. It was not that the flight attendant's hand slipped and hit the door with his elbow, but that his entire forearm had been cut off and fell to the ground like garbage. Because the speed was too fast, the flight attendant did not feel the pain, and his arm kept sliding by inertia, causing the bloody and cut elbow to hit the door.

"Eh……"

The flight attendant looked blankly at the missing piece of his arm. What happened?

"With me, the most powerful miko of Hakurei Shrine, here, you still want to hurt others? You really don't know your place."

With her arm raised and talisman paper on her finger, the big red bow under her long hair was particularly eye-catching. The red magic power in Reimu's body, which had entered a serious state, was like a volcano waiting to erupt. Just by being glanced at by Reimu in this state, the flight attendant felt that all the blood in his body was flowing back into his gallbladder.

This... this person is so scary! Is this the so-called head priestess they told me about?!

Ms. Hakurei, so handsome!

The flight attendant standing in front of Reimu was so scared that her gallbladder was shaking, but Coco behind her had golden eyes. So cool! This is simply the shrine maiden from the animation running out. This is the real shrine maiden I want to see!

"Don't try to catch me!"

Hit him, then run. The door behind him cannot be opened. Reimu cut off his hand just after he touched it. If he wants to rush through the door and run away, forget it. As the saying goes, since the door of the vault is as solid as a rock, why not break down the wall?

The attendant accelerated and ran to the side of the carriage, hoping to use his strengthened body to smash the car body that was not locked and strengthened. He was a ghost now, and his self-healing ability was terrifying. Even if he jumped from the speeding Shinkansen and broke a powder fracture, it would heal in less than an hour.

"Hey, Ms. Hakurei, I can't see. Did you just slap a piece of paper in my face? I want to see you exorcise demons. I want to see a miko defeat evil spirits in the real world. You're going to erase my memory anyway, so just let me watch for fun."

"The following content is not suitable for children, so don't read it."

"I'm already a third-year junior high student, so I'm considered an adult."

"You're still a kid after high school, stop arguing."

The talisman that Reimu used to cover Coco's face was not pasted on her face, but floated in front of her, eliminating all possibility of her looking forward. Coco could turn her head left and right to see things elsewhere, but the only time she looked towards the flight attendant was when the talisman completely blocked her vision.

The flight attendant took a step, and her foot in black stockings and high heels kicked something round. She subconsciously looked up, but saw her legs lying across in front of her. She rolled her eyes upwards and saw that there was no head on the dark blue uniform, because the head was now at the feet, looking up at her side.

Even faster than her movements was Reimu's spell. The silent cutting spell was very suitable for use in densely populated areas. She had already killed the evil ghost and chopped off her head, and people outside couldn't hear any sound. It could be said to be an essential spell for killing ghosts and demons in modern cities.

"I just became a ghost, I just got the method to stay young forever, I just became young again, no, no! I don't want to die here!"

After her head was chopped off, the attendant quickly turned into a wisp of flying ash, and her body and clothes completely disappeared in the carriage.

"Finish work."

Even though she hadn't touched the flight attendant, Reimu still dusted off her hands.

"It's time to start the second phase of work."

Reimu looked at Coco, who was slumped on the ground. "Don't worry, I just feel a little dizzy, but it will be fine soon."
