Chapter 980: Doubt
Takayama Kaguya remembers very clearly, even though he is just a wisp of remnant soul now, and his memory of the past is vague in some places, but he remembers even the smallest details of what happened at that time.
At that time, he was still the exorcist of the Gao Shan family, and during a certain exorcism mission, he noticed an abnormality in the Meili River in S City, and after some investigation, he found that there was a spatial crack in the river.
At that time, he was already a very experienced exorcist, so he naturally knew how much impact the existence of this crack would have on the present world, so he thought of a way to use the magatama that sealed the ghost as a prop, and laid a large magic circle around the crack.
The process of arranging this circle is a matter of words, but it is actually quite time-consuming and laborious, and it also consumes a lot of financial and material resources.
Although the Gao Shan family, as the leading family of the exorcist, now seems to be very strong in all aspects, but due to the environmental constraints of that era, the Gao Shan family at that time did not have such strong assets, and did not dare to be too public, so it was actually very difficult for him to arrange such a magic circle at that time.
Just when he felt a little tricky, a person appeared, just to solve his current difficulties.
It was a man with a lot of status in S City, and he was also quite rich, and he took the initiative to find him, hoping that he could help solve a fierce female ghost.
Normally, he is somewhat interested in why ghosts hurt people, especially certain people, and his small interest is also regarded as an anomaly in the Takayama family, but this time, he didn't dig too deep into the reason, and directly agreed to the man's commission.
Because he knows very well that those clients who are greedy for life and afraid of death, in order to get rid of the entanglement of powerful ghosts, will obey the words of the exorcist.
Such a client was of great help to him in setting up the magic circle in the Meili River, and he couldn't easily let go of this opportunity.
Everything was ready, and just as he began to work on it, there was a small episode, or rather, an uninvited guest.
At first, Takayama Kaguya thought that the wandering spirits floating nearby were attracted by his magic circle, and the souls of the humans who had just died were still ignorant of the power of the exorcists, and if they encountered a nearby exorcist who was exorcising ghosts, most of them would hide away because of instinctive fear. Of course, there are exceptions, some ghosts are curious by nature or have been influenced by some life, and have some overestimation of themselves, which will run counter to instinctive fear, and instead of avoiding them, they will come forward to find death.
Takayama Kaguya didn't mind dealing with such a ghost easily, or kindly letting it go, a small ghost wouldn't have any effect on the circle he was working on.
Soon, though, he realized he was wrong.
His eyes were not ghosts, but living beings.
Occasionally, this happens. While the body is still alive, the soul spontaneously separates from the body, which is called "out-of-body". It's just that this kind of situation is very rare.
Since it is a living being, of course he can't make a move, otherwise the soul will be destroyed by him, and the body will not wake up, and it will become a vegetative state, so that he will be equivalent to killing a living human.
He didn't quite know how the creature had appeared in front of him, and since he was busy setting up the circle at the time, he didn't delve into the matter and left the episode behind. It's just that even he himself at that time didn't understand why he was so obsessed with the last glance that met his four eyes.
What Takayama Kaguya didn't expect was that a few days later, when he was busy setting up the magic circle by the river, the creature appeared again. And this time, the other party even invaded his body.
Takayama Kaguya was shocked, and afterwards, he thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that it was he who attracted the creature.
Because he himself is an exorcist, his physique itself is closer to ghosts than ordinary people, and he is usually easy to attract the attention of ghosts, and the probability of being possessed by ghosts is higher than that of ordinary people. It's just that what he doesn't understand is that with his acuity and strength, it stands to reason that he will not be possessed so easily, let alone this kind of situation that he only feels after being possessed.
In addition, he didn't find it the first time, but after being possessed, he obviously felt that this living soul was a little different, and the ghost aura was stronger than that of ordinary ghosts, giving him the feeling that he was possessed by a powerful ghost.
Kaguya Takayama had always been puzzled by this, but it was precisely because of this incident that he later had the idea of separating a part of his soul.
That's right, the reason why he made that decision later was that what happened at that time really gave him a lot of inspiration.
It wasn't until later that he met Mingchuan himself in the circle he had set up.
He vaguely knew that the person he was waiting for must have something to do with the living souls he had seen before, but he didn't dare to conclude that they were the same person.
At first, Takayama Kaguya was also a little surprised, Mingchuan's soul traveled through time and space and wanted to meet him, it seemed to be to bring him substantial help in the future, and the so-called "fate" and "destiny" seemed to be nothing more than that.
However, Takayama Kaguya is a person who does not believe in fate. He believes that there must be a specific connection between himself and Mingchuan, and it is this connection that makes this entanglement between them.
At first he thought that the association was driven by himself, but now, he doesn't think so.
Maybe all of this is a play directed and acted by Ming Chuan.
Mingchuan's soul travels through time and space to meet with himself, just to guide himself to make that choice, in order to let himself meet him in the future and become Mingchuan's envoy, give Mingchuan all kinds of teachings, teach him how to control his own ghost qi, teach him how to use the magic circle, and give him various suggestions in the subsequent battles.
Ming Chuan knew that he would encounter various situations in the future, and because of his own physique, he needed a "mentor" who could help him, and the most suitable candidate for this "mentor" was Takayama Kaguya, an exorcist with rich experience in exorcism and at the same time knew how to control "anger" freely.
The reason why I made that choice and got to where I am today is entirely because of Mingchuan?
Looking at Mingchuan's back, Takayama Kaguya had such a thought for the first time.
Once a thought comes to mind, it lingers.
For the first time, Kaguya Takayama had questions about his decision.
