In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

You don't need to experience it once to know that this is very painful. Qianshu bit her lips and endured it, but her slightly trembling lips and gradually pale cheeks betrayed her.

"It hurts a lot, please bear with it, Miss Qianzhu."

"Chizuka." Takina knelt beside her and grabbed Chizuka's hand.

"It's okay, it just hurts a little. I'm the strongest Licorice, so this little pain doesn't matter." Qianshu forced a smile.

Mika looked at Qianshu lying on the ground, and walked to Ouyang Xuan with a serious expression, leaning on his crutches.

"Sir, what are you going to do with the current situation at the bottom of the mountain?"

"What should we do? He's beyond saving. Is there any other way besides killing him?"

The pistol with a hole in Shanxia's stomach was now raised by Ouyang Sun and pointed at Shanxia's drooping head.

"Those two girls don't know. They've never seen anything like this. You've probably not only seen this, but you've also killed quite a few." Ouyang Falcon looked at Mika. "I've seen you before when I went to the Island Nation's Supernatural Province for work. But that was one-way glass, so you couldn't see me."

"Your Mightiness.."

"He's completely turned into a water ghost. The only reason he was able to leave the river or lake where he drowned and come here today is because today is the seventh day after his death. His obsession allows him to move freely temporarily, but it doesn't mean he can be saved. Do you understand?"

Ouyang Xuan made it clear directly that Shanxia had completely turned into a water ghost and was no longer a human being, but a complete monster and evil spirit. His only destination was to kill him before he killed the next person. In this way, he could be freed and there would be one less water ghost scapegoat in the world.

“Curry…Curry…”

Frowning slightly, Ouyang Jun didn't expect that Shanxia was so obsessed with the curry in this store. Even though he was suppressed by the soul-suppressing spell, he could still speak. Although he just kept talking about curry, it also opened Ouyang Jun's eyes a little. But this kind of thing didn't matter.

Like the pistols of Likolis and others, the one in Ouyang Sun's hand is also a Glock. There is no need for unnecessary actions such as loading the gun. He just needs to pull the trigger directly. The bullet with magic power can blow the head of the mountain down to pieces and liberate his soul from this unjustly dead body.

Pulling the trigger, Ouyang Sun was just doing what he had done countless times before. All he needed to do was wait for the bullet to fly out of the gun barrel and smash the head in front of him. The job would be done. But this time, the bullet shot out when Ouyang Sun pulled the trigger did not fly in front of him, but flew downwards, towards his legs at the foot of the mountain.

The fragile calf was directly broken by the bullet and flew off. The bullet retained its kinetic energy and was deeply embedded in the floor of Liko Liko.

At the moment when Ouyang Xuan was about to pull the trigger, a pair of hands tightly grabbed Ouyang Xuan's sleeves and pulled his raised hands downwards, causing the bullet from the pistol to change its original flight trajectory, extending the life of Yamashita, which was already over, for a little longer. The person who did all this was Qianshu.

"You, didn't you hear it?" The water ghost's poison in her body had not been completely eliminated yet, and Qianshu's short three-meter sprint had already made her feel completely exhausted.

"Didn't you hear Mr. Yamashita say he wanted to eat curry?"

"Amano, you still have some rope in your bag, right?" Ouyang Sun looked at Yang Cai, "Take it out and tie this girl up, then gag her."

"You inhumane fellow!" Chizuka's eyes widened. "Even after his death, Mr. Yamashita came back to eat our signature curry. Don't you even want to fulfill a dead person's last wish?"

"I don't want to." Ouyang Xuan said.

Qian Shu had already used up all his strength at this point and could no longer hold Ouyang Xuan's arm. He also had no extra strength in his legs and was about to fall face first onto the ground this time.

"Are you planning to commit fraud?" Ouyang Xuan grabbed Qian Shu's collar from behind to prevent her from landing hard on her face.

Chapter 44: Exorcism

Takina ran over and took Qianshu's soft and weak body from Ouyang Xuan's hands. Even though he had no strength in his body, Qianshu still wanted to fight with Ouyang Xuan for a while.

"Aren't you Onmyojis and Exorcists supposed to fulfill the last wishes of ghosts and monsters first, and then kill them if you can't? Why don't you follow the rules?"

"I'm not an Onmyoji."

Mika shook his head and had no intention of going forward to stop Ouyang Xuan. Ruixi lowered his head to drink beer, and Kurumi turned his face away. Haimeng and Ruizi wanted to say something, but after seeing Hina shaking her head at them, they could only shut their mouths and sit back in their chairs quietly.

Unlike the others, Yang Cai has dealt with many incidents during this period of time with Ouyang Xuan, and has experienced things like what happened at the bottom of the mountain. Those people who have turned into zombies only seem to have a certain degree of rationality, but as soon as the control over them is released, they will turn back into ferocious beasts in an instant.

Yang Cai also asked Ouyang Xuan, for a person who has turned into a zombie like this, is there really no possibility of turning back?

Absolutely impossible, this was Ouyang Xuan's firm answer. There was an extremely small possibility that people who had transformed into corpses could regain a little bit of consciousness in a very short period of time. The time ranged from one second to one hour. Not only was the time short, but the probability was also low. Ordinary Taoists would not take such chances, but would directly take action like Ouyang Xuan did.

Ouyang Xuan had also encountered people who seemed to have regained consciousness. Their families thought they had recovered and would hug each other with tears in their eyes. But the moment they lost consciousness again, they were torn to pieces in their arms.

"Curry... Mom's secret recipe curry... I really want to eat it one last time... Mom..."

Shanxia's murmurs did not affect Ouyang Sun's movements at all. He raised his arm, which had been pulled away by Qianshu, back to its original position, and the black muzzle of the gun was pressed against Shanxia's forehead.

Monsters learn to speak human language in order to deceive and prey on humans, and evil spirits speak human language in order to gain even a little more chance of survival in the hands of humans. This is a lesson that any Taoist priest needs to learn: don't believe their every word and every sentence. Unfortunately, many Taoist priests have not been able to do this completely. After all, human hearts are made of flesh.

"I will free you. I will also find the water ghost who made you a scapegoat and have him come down to see you."

"That..." Takina shouted with determination, "Mr. Ou, curry, the curry Mr. Yamashita is talking about is the exclusive secret recipe his mother taught to the store manager before she passed away."

"Mr. Yamashita has always said that the curry made by the store manager tastes exactly like the one his mother used to make for him. That's why he has been coming to our store for so many years. For him, curry is more than just an ordinary bowl of curry; it represents his longing for his mother."

"Although we don't know what happened to Mr. Yamashita, can we give him one more bite of that curry that tastes like my mom's before he goes on his journey?"

"Takina~~"

Qianzhu raised her head from Takina's arms, and together with Takina, she faced Ouyang Xuan's eyes, which were expressionless.

"President, with you here, Mr. Yamashita can't move or cause any trouble. Why not fulfill his last wish?" Haruna stepped forward. "There's no need to put him down. Just let Mr. Yamashita hang there like this. It won't hurt Takina and Chizuka, and they won't be able to escape either."

"Senior is so powerful, he is definitely not afraid of this person." Hai Meng agreed.

"Senior Ouyang..." Lei Zi wanted to say something but stopped.

"What time is it now?" Ouyang Xuan did not answer, but asked about the time.

"Ten thirty in the evening." Walnut replied.

"He has two hours at most. After two hours, he will completely turn into a water ghost. Neither his soul nor his body will have any trace of humanity left. If you want to offer sacrifices, do it quickly."

"In two hours, he will go berserk again. No matter what you say, I will kill him directly."

Ouyang Xuan put away his gun and sat back in his original position.

Seeing that Ouyang Xuan had compromised, Takina and Chizuka looked at each other and struggled to get up from the ground. Mika had already entered the kitchen and began to make curry in a hurry. Several people and a water ghost were strangely staying in the same room.

"Senior Ouyang, can't people like Mr. Yamashita be liberated like ghosts?" Lei Zi asked.

"It's difficult." Ouyang Sun shook his head. "Ghosts have no carriers. They simply rely on some kind of obsession to stay in the world. A water ghost like him has already deteriorated his soul. It's difficult to liberate him by fulfilling his obsession. Killing him and freeing his soul is the fastest and most effective option."

"Watching your soul gradually degenerate and your body transform from a human into a water ghost or other monster is a very painful thing. It's not surprising that people with poor mental endurance will turn into bloodthirsty lunatics during this process."

Lei Zi fell silent after hearing what Ouyang Xuan said, as if letting Ouyang Xuan shoot her down the mountain was the most gentle way for him.

"Well, what do you mean by letting Mr. Yamashita be the scapegoat?" Qianshu couldn't wait to ask after he regained some strength.

"Literally, he was killed as a scapegoat. The water ghost who killed him should be living in this city now."

"The guy who stole Mr. Yamashita's life is in this city!?" Qianshu said gritting his teeth.

Chizuka cherishes her friends very much. Although Yamashita is an uncle who is more than ten years older than Chizuka, she gets along very well with Chizuka. Yamashita often complains about his subordinates and superiors to people in the store. He also often participates in the board game activities after Liko Liko closes the store. He gets along well with everyone in the store.

Although he had never met Yamashita's wife, Qianshu knew that their married life must be very good from the happy expression on Yamashita's face every time he mentioned "wife". Qianshu also sent them blessings. After learning about Yamashita's promotion, Qianshu even paid for Yamashita to have a piece of cake out of her own pocket, and encouraged him to come to Liko Liko for dinner with his subordinates more often when he became a department head.

Unexpectedly, Qianshu saw Yamashita for the last time that night. When she saw him again, he had become like this, neither human nor ghost. He was about to enter a new stage of life, but his life was so abruptly stopped.

"Can you find that guy? Aren't you an exorcist? Please kill that guy and avenge Mr. Yamashita!"

"Please, Senior Ouyang!" Qianshu bowed ninety degrees, imitating Hai Meng's way of calling.

Looking at the girl in front of him who bowed to him for her friend, Ouyang Jun just patted her head, then got up and left, asking Hu Tao where the toilet was.

Ouyang Xuan came to the bathroom not because he really wanted to use the toilet, but because he was looking for a place to make a phone call. The person he called was one of his lovers, Kotoko, the monster, ghost, and weird god of wisdom.

"Ouyang, are you going to do XX today? You actually took the initiative to call me. But it might be too late. I'm watching a movie with my parents at home now. You'll need it tomorrow." Qinzi's lively voice came from the other end of the phone.

"A water ghost found a scapegoat and should have run into Tokyo by now."

"Hmm..." Qinzi's tone suddenly became serious, "Ouyang, tell me in detail."

No one knew what Ouyang Xuan and Kotoko talked about specifically, but that night, all the monsters in Tokyo took action to look for this guy who had violated the rules and was looking for a scapegoat in human society. According to the rules set by Kotoko, he had to be eliminated by the monsters themselves in front of the Miko Shrine in the other world.

The water ghost had no idea that all the monsters in the city were looking for him and were ready to borrow his brother's head. He was now in the bar street full of lights and wine, using the money he got from the mountain to enjoy this thing that he had not seen for decades.

"I haven't been to the human world for decades. Haha, that feels great."

After kissing a few times with a group of bar girls, the water ghost staggered out of the bar and walked on the street, staggering from side to side, but no one said anything to him because all the people on this street were similar, and many of them tied their ties on their foreheads.

The water ghost himself has forgotten his own name. After all, decades have passed. He was originally a person who jumped into the river to commit suicide, but by accident he became a water ghost. He was trapped in the river for decades. He finally pulled Shanxia into the water, let Shanxia be his scapegoat, and returned to the world again.

"It seems today is the seventh day after the death of that idiot." The water ghost suddenly remembered the mountain and then said indifferently, "That idiot's spiritual intelligence will dissipate after today. Haha, not every water ghost can be like me, who can maintain his spiritual intelligence after becoming a water ghost."

"Decades have passed, and women nowadays are so beautiful, especially the black socks on their legs. They are so beautiful. Why didn't I have such beautiful socks back then?"

With lustful eyes, the water ghost lowered his head and looked at the pairs of thighs under the neon lights, which were not seen in his time. His eyes were almost glued to the legs.

Jingle bell~~

In the noisy street, a clear bell sound passed through countless figures and fell into the ears of the water ghost, and his whole body was instantly refreshed.

The water ghost looked anxiously in the direction of the bell sound, and saw a girl wearing a windbreaker hood, walking barefoot on the street. She kept looking left and right as she walked, as if she was looking for something.

Although he has been a water ghost for decades, he has not seen many monsters. Living at the bottom of the cold and dark river all year round, the most he has seen are some fish monsters or shrimp soldiers and crab generals. He has never seen any monsters on land.

The moment he saw Honghong's back, the water ghost felt his heart beating faster and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Just smelling the scent emanating from Honghong made the water ghost feel like he was about to get wet and was about to pee out of fear.

He was clearly still dozens of meters away from Honghong, but she was like a giant. Just standing there was enough to scare weak creatures to death.

The water ghost didn't know what Honghong was. He only knew that his instinct and body were warning him that he must get away from Honghong immediately, the farther the better, so he ran away without looking back!

Following his instinct, the water ghost lowered his head and ran quickly in the opposite direction of Honghong. When Honghong was completely blocked by the crowd, he immediately ran away, constantly pushing away the passers-by in his way, just wanting to run a little faster.

Turning from the street, the water ghost ran into an alley. Only after he was completely hidden in the shadows did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"What was that woman just now? Just looking at her made me feel like I was about to be beaten to death. Could she be the legendary witch?"

"No, there's such a dangerous woman in Tokyo. I can't stay in Tokyo any longer. I have to leave quickly and go back to Kyoto. I should have descendants in Kyoto. I need to find a way to get some money from them."

"Why did you run away when you saw me just now?" A clear girl's voice, accompanied by the sound of bells, descended from the sky in front of the water ghost.

"Hmm..." Honghong glanced at the water ghost uncertainly. "There's a mixture of human energy and demonic energy, and a lot of cold and gloomy energy. Did you find a scapegoat, the water ghost?"

Although Honghong seems particularly naive and innocent when facing her other self, like a harmless little fool, but don't forget that they are essentially the same person and have the same knowledge. In the book that Ouyang Xuan read in order to learn more about the human world, there is an introduction to water ghosts.

"No wonder you acted so strangely. I thought you met a monster again, but it turns out you're just a water ghost." Honghong shook her head in disappointment. A water ghost that just crawled out of the water would not know anything about her Taoist brother or her other self.

"Haha." The water ghost laughed awkwardly, "Yes, this, my lady, I am just an ordinary water ghost, not one of those evil monsters who harm others. It's getting late, my lady, please rest first, I'll leave first."

"If a Taoist brother encounters a water ghost like you who harms people, he will definitely take action to subdue you." The red and white little hand clenched into a fist lightly, and blood-red evil spirit attached to the small fist.

"Then I will also subdue you, the water ghost, like the Taoist brother."

"Ha? Ha!?" The water ghost screamed twice in a row, then started to run away. Fight? Just standing in front of Hong Hong, the water ghost felt scared to death, and he still dared to attack?

"Want to run?" Hong Hong flashed and blocked the water ghost's way, "Watch out, exorcism!"

Chapter 45 This curry is too disgusting

At the entrance of an alley on a bar street in Tokyo, several ferocious-looking men were blocking the alley entrance, baring their teeth and threatening every passerby, regardless of whether the passerby wanted to enter the alley or not.

At this time, in the alley, a group of monsters came here with their god of wisdom. The leader was a cat-like monster, who brought the group to a place in the alley, a dead end.

Unlike ordinary dead ends, this dead end has some more decorations on the wall at the end. The water ghost who killed Yamashita and made him a scapegoat is now embedded in it. The whole person forms a regular concave circle with the water ghost's back as the center point. The circle is so standard that it makes people wonder if it was made by some instrument.

The water ghost was hanging there with his eyes rolled back and blood coming out of all his orifices. It was obvious that he was dead. A fist mark was imprinted on his abdomen, silently announcing to everyone that he was killed by a punch. His body was also knocked flying and hit the wall, forming such a regular circle.

"Princess, when I found him, his soul had already dissipated. He can make the souls of dead monsters dissipate in a short time. I think that person, who is not a top-level Onmyoji, must be a powerful demon." Nekomata explained the situation on the scene to Kotoko.

"There was absolutely no fighting involved. Not only was he killed in one blow, but the water ghost didn't even try to defend himself or resist. He was simply beaten to death while standing."

After listening to Nekomata's report, Kotoko walked forward and personally confirmed that the water ghost was really dead. At the same time, she raised her cane and poked the fist mark on the water ghost's chest, which looked like a branding iron. Then she clenched her fist and placed it in front of the fist mark.

"It's only slightly bigger than my fist. Was it a woman who killed this water ghost? Or was it a female monster?"

"Princess, we don't have any female demons with such strong physical strength here." Hippo Taro said, "Hippo can do it, but Hippo's fist is not so small. The fist that Hippo hit me in the face yesterday was almost one-third the size of my face."

"Who said there aren't any female monsters with such strong physical strength in Tokyo?"

"Really not, Princess."

"Weren't you knocked away by that punch?" Kotoko recalled for Kawabatarou.

"I was beaten away." Hippo Taro murmured, then squatted on the spot with his hands on his head, muttering, "I don't remember, there was no such thing, it couldn't have happened, how could such a thing happen, Jiro said it was just a nightmare, yes, just a nightmare."

Looking at Hippo Taro squatting on the ground and muttering to himself to escape reality, Kotoko put away her cane and waved her hand, and a monster took away Hippo Taro, who was in psychological trauma. After being knocked away by Hong Hong's punch, Hippo Taro's brain triggered a protective mechanism, forcing Hippo Taro to forget that memory. This was just to protect Hippo Taro's fragile heart.

"I didn't expect to find her here. Judging by the power of her fists, the injuries Ouyang inflicted on her healed so quickly. She looks like she's back to her best form. We need to have Yang No pay more attention to her and have 2B protect her closely. We, Ouyang's lovers, are her main targets."

Kotoko looked at the water ghost that was beaten to death and embedded in the wall, completely unaware that her guess was only half right. Although it was indeed killed by Honghong, it was not the Honghong that Kotoko knew and had seen.

Qinzi took a photo at the scene and sent it to Ouyang Xuan, telling him that he didn't need to bother looking for the water ghost because it no longer existed.

Ouyang Sun in Liko Liko picked up his phone when he saw it light up, opened it and saw that it was a photo sent by Kotoko.

In the photo, Kotoko herself occupies 80% of the space. She holds her left hand next to her head with a "V" sign and blinks at Ouyang Jun on the other side of the camera. In the very corner of the upper left corner, you can barely see the water ghost's body embedded in the wall.

Ouyang Jun stretched out his two fingers several times before he could barely see the appearance of the water ghost.
