[3. Ghosts]

Following his partner back to the first floor from the ceiling pit, Sun Rin, who had escaped from the illusion, was still in shock, and he was still a little dizzy when he walked.

"Ah Dai, are you alright?" Wan Qier asked with concern.

"I'm okay......" Sun Rin cheered up, but still said cautiously, "I just had to drink a drink, if I also change or something, you must hold me down quickly." ”

"You dare to drink the enemy's drink?" Wan Qi'er raised his voice, "I'll let Zhou Zhou show you it right away!"

"I can't help it, the other party's yin and yang are weird, which makes me a little panicked......" Sun Rin generously admitted his weakness, "Anyway, be careful." ”

"We get it. Okay, the crowd has been evacuated, and all that is left is the Pure Spirit and ......" Zhaohua was saying, and hesitated again when he looked at the south exit in the commotion, which didn't look very smooth.

"What's wrong?" Feeling that he had endured it for a long time, Sun Rin rushed forward with one hand to condense the black mist minions, frightening the crowd to retreat.

"Ah take you to be fine!" Cedar, who was trying to communicate loudly, turned his head, his expression was like crying and laughing, "Those suspected infected people who were caught suddenly returned to normal......

"Recovery?" Sun Rin subconsciously looked at Alicia's side, the people who were surrounded by the power grid were either frightened or annoyed, but they really couldn't see anything unusual, "Are they pretending to be normal?"

"In short, people can't let it go yet. Harden, who came back from the atrium, said strongly that Cedar is not a professional soul purifier after all, and now he naturally can't let go of suspicious people casually. Fortunately, the crowd is almost evacuated now, and their pressure will not be too great.

"We'll have to figure out how the spell spreads, and then we'll see if there's anything like a magic stone to maintain ......" Cedar remembered Carey's teachings, but the commotion outside the mall caught his attention again, "Hey, it seems like something happened out there, too?

Sun Rin hurriedly squeezed out, the sea of people was chaotic, and the vaguely heard topic was still "zombies", and some people had already run back and waved and shouted at them.

"Looks like something really happened!" Cedar stomped his foot in frustration, which should be considered his mistake, and Abel hurriedly patted him on the shoulder soothingly.

"What—" Harden loudly communicated to the panicked ones, then looked suspiciously at his stunned companions, "Now the necromancers are out there?"

"And what we caught—" Cedar shook his head resolutely as he looked at the man who had tried to attack him, "nothing wrong!"

Harden frowned and stepped forward, ignoring Alicia's obstruction, he directly grabbed the arm of one of the "suspected infected" and looked at it, turned the person around and looked at it again, and then snorted.

"Alicia, Ata, Marina!Quarantine all suspected infected!" he commanded loudly, "This is a necromancy that can be possessed and transferred!"

"What about the 'rioters' who have been discovered?" asked Cedar in annoyance.

"Leave it to me! look at my Great Entanglement—" Ivan opened his hands and unleashed the seal, and the pale fire chips quickly coalesced into jelly-like demons that enveloped the "zombies" chasing them down the street, exposing only the air holes for the struggling and writhing victims.

"Good! can you hold on?" asked Harden, turning his head as he checked.

"It's okay, let's think about how to cure the root cause!" Ivan clenched his fists, "It's not a way to go on like this!"

That's right, even if they can suppress the "zombies", the situation will still be in the necromancer's favor - the city will not lack a source of people, in other words, there will be no shortage of materials to cast necromantic spells. It doesn't matter if the possessed person dies - they can then turn into new necromancy, be reclaimed, and let the necromancer possess them and attack them, and so on and so forth, and if the city doesn't respond accordingly, it can almost completely destroy the city. But it stands to reason that the arcane arts, as the largest city in the Blue World and the imperial capital of white magic, will not be defenseless.

"Why didn't the circle activate, this level of commotion should have been detected!" Harden still wondered.

"It's weird......" After discussing with Abel while perceiving, Cedar asked, "Now I can be sure that there is an enchantment here, but the people on the edge of the enchantment...... Don't you feel the chaos, no one leaves!"

"Probably because it's an illusion enchantment, I've seen it too...... You may not be able to get out at all!" Sun Rin knew that feeling in his heart, Yakushi Temple would not let go of its prey until it achieved its goal.

"In that case, you'll have to kill the caster......" Harden continued to command, "Marina, Ivan, and Snow Crane, you guys go and calm the scene first, Zhou Zhou, can you feel the source? On the second floor?"

"It's not clear, wait......"

Listening to their conversation, Sun Rin unconsciously gritted his teeth - very bad, the source of the illusion is probably that Medicine Temple! If he had to kill back to find the Medicine Temple, how could he keep his current stable position, could he really only kill Marina and then push it to the Star General?

"Brother?" Seeing that he was absent-minded, Sally gently shook his shoulder, "Did you see that illusionist?"

"Maybe ......," Sun Rin tried to narrate bitterly, "I saw a shrine with a red torii gate, and it was black and enshrined in strange things, and then the guy was talking to me in the shadows, and he gave people a terrifying feeling, like he was very kind but scared me everywhere......"

Listening to them with a worried face, Zhiyao Ying hesitated and asked, "...... Sun Jun, that person...... Is it Japanese?"

“...... It seems to be—"

"Is he a beautiful man with a gentle demeanor and a little weird?" asked Zhi Yaoying eagerly this time.

“...... I can't see the face, he's wearing a fox mask with red patterns-" Now it's almost certain that they are talking about the same person, Sun Rin also poured out the information in one go, "The surname is Yakushiji, you really know each other, right?"

"Yakushi Temple?" both Cedar and Harden subconsciously repeated-

I'm afraid this is the person they checked, right?

"You know him too?" asked Sun Rin in surprise.

“...... No, I don't know, I haven't seen it. What about Sister Shadow?" Cedar hurriedly looked at the shadow of the plant.

Zhi Yaoying paused for a moment, then lowered his head with a wry smile, and whispered to himself: "He did it......"

"You all know him, right? What is his origin?" Sun Rin asked, "Please, if you know each other, it should be very clear, if we drag on like this, we will all die today!"

Seeing Zhi Yaoying's silent appearance, Cedar pulled Zhi Yunying again: "Yunying, do you know something?"

"Mom!" the pale Zhiyun also looked up, "It's really him, right?

"Crazy bones?" Cedar repeated inquiringly.

After exhaling deeply, he raised his head to look at the shadow of the plant in the twilight sky, and his expression finally revealed determination: "That big demon was once called 'Kyoto's ghost and god boy'......"

The head ...... Cedar was stunned for a moment, then tried to confirm: "That is, ......"

"Well, in Kyoto at that time, Hyakki thought it was the same character as your Zen-sensei," Uekakage's voice was still trembling, "so you can roughly understand what kind of opponent it is, right?"

If it's the same as Tono Sheng, it's quite ...... That's not good.

"I know my father is guilty, but he ...... slaughtered my clan for this," Zhiyun Ping, who clenched his fists as if he wanted to insert his fingernails into his flesh, his pale lips trembling and confiding fear and hatred, "I can't forgive!"

"You're not a bird, are ......you? A child who was adopted by Sister Ying?" In fact, there have always been questions, and Cedar asked cautiously - the obsession of the deceased mother turned into a bird, and it was a bit strange that the monsters that were not born naturally called each other mother and daughter, and Yun Fei said that it was too young if she said that it was the spirit of the mother.

"Gu Shou Bird is not a demon that can continue with blood. Uekashi lowered her eyes and nodded, "When I fled to Kyoto, I served an onmyoji incognito, that youkai - Crazy Bone, he was the same Shikigami as me, but he killed the lord instead...... Yun Fei is the only bloodline of the lord, and he was bewitched by him to fall into the demon ......"

"I won't be deceived anymore......" Yun Fei threw herself into Zhi Yaoying's arms, "Sister Mingzi is my mother!"

Holding Zhi Yun and gently stroking the girl's silver hair, Zhi Yaoying looked directly at Cedar: "The Crazy Bone once reigned for a while, and then fought against the Kyoto branch of the Heavenly Punisher Yuan Branch, and finally your white sage surrendered to Nara Yakushiji Temple. ”

"Nara?" Cedar's eyes widened, "Ah Suiya...... It can't be that coincidental......"

"Surrender to Yakushiji......" Harden and Cedar looked at each other, then asked, "What happened later?

"I haven't seen him since, and what happened should have been known to you," said Phytoying, confused, "and if you don't know anything about it, this beautiful Heavenly Punisher who has finally been redeemed and ushered in a new life is still falling, and if you don't know anything about it, I'm afraid ...... He's so bad that the Order's archives have been blocked. ”

"That's the enemy we're going to face now?" Sun Rin exhaled when he finally felt that he was afraid of Yakushi Temple.

"So this guy ...... Yakushiji right?" asked Harden with a frown, "What is he good at?"

"He's a water-friendly monster, as you can see, he's good at illusion enchantments!" said Uekashi, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I think there must be the tools needed to activate the formation at the edge of the enchantment, as long as you destroy those things, you can lift his enchantment!"

"We'll find out...... So we're going to group up again, right?" asked Cedar.

Harden thought for a moment, and then asked, "We have two people who are the best at detection, one stays here to be responsible for the command of the general direction, and the other is responsible for liaison and finding objects, okay?"

Cedar glanced at Abel and then proposed, "Bobo's ability is more accurate, so Bobo is the right to find the object, right?"

"Good. Abel nodded.

"And how do we know we're really on the right path in this illusion?" said Alicia, a little anxious.

"Wild intuition. Even if you fall for the illusion, if you look at the direction right now, it's no problem!" Harden has always been flexible and resolute, "Zhou Zhou, let's test the sense of direction a little, if it's okay, you can release your vines radially, and we will follow your vines straight." ”

"That's good, come and test it for me!" Cedar nodded repeatedly, his determination to make up for his mistake was quite firm.

"Ah Dai, you are in a group with Bobo and Han Feng. Harden consciously allocated his combat power, "Freshman, you have to protect your brother's body, you keep Zhou Zhou and Alicia as our core, Tya and I and the shadow mother and daughter group, and Sally your last group, how about this?"

Although it was a little overbearing, Harden's decision was still very necessary at this critical juncture, and everyone approved of this arrangement.

"Let's go, then!" Sun Rin replied cheerfully, following Abel as he set off and passed by Marina.

"Three blocks straight ahead...... It's around here, let's take a closer look. Abel brought them closer to a source of magic, but the source of the spell was obscure, and it still gave them a sense of uneasiness like falling into a dream.

Although it is not as fine as Abel's "sensory extension" in terms of detection, Sun Rin has been in contact with the Medicine Master Temple head-on after all, and he can't forget the cold and mysterious aura like a snake and scorpion. After closing his eyes at the intersection for a moment to sense the direction, he suddenly opened his eyes and rushed into a Chinese restaurant on the side of the road with his two partners. The restaurant was a mess full of smashing marks, and broken red lanterns hung with tassels.

"Where...... Abel unleashed a tactile thread, the pale golden thread stretching out in all directions, glittering faintly in the mess.

"Be careful, there may be an ambush!" Han Feng rummaged through slowly on alert, "Did you see anything that looked like a magic circle rune?"

Could it be that easy?" Sun Rin walked slowly in the dim light, and after a moment of palpitation, he suddenly turned around and looked up, the shrine of shadows on the ledge shrouded in red veils faintly lit up.

It's uncomfortable and frightening...... Wanting to get closer but feeling a subtle movement that made the cold hair tremble, Sun Rin took a step back, touched the table and chair, and hit the wind blade horizontally......

Sun Rin felt his heart sink again, and when he looked closely, he saw a terrifying smile damaged in the shadows, it was a statue of Jizo Bodhisattva wearing a red scarf, but that weird demonic aura-

"I found it!" finally remembered to shout, Sun Rin waved vigorously to Abel, who was groping in the distance.

"Found it?" Abel and Han Feng surrounded him, but at this time, there were babies crying from nowhere, Sun Rin trembled, and directly smashed the Jizo statue with the wind blade!

“...... The demonic qi has indeed dispersed!Yes, yes, Ah Dai!" After being startled, Han Feng clenched his fists again and applauded, "Bobo, it's really gone, right!"

"Well, great, we've got one place! Can the cedars hear me? Well, let's find the next one!" Abel reported as he high-fived them, "Let's go!"

Leaving the follow-up task of the purification to Cedar, they returned to the street, following their feelings to the next object.

"There's a 'zombie' coming!" "It's not easy to get out of control in the illusionist's enchantment, they didn't go far before they were intercepted again, Han Feng took the lead in opening the way for them, and struggled to fight against the increasingly frantic "infected", "Before you can really purify your soul, you must really control them!"

"Wait, don't scatter—" Seeing Han Feng running away unconsciously, Sun Rin nervously chased after him to remind, but his mind suddenly went blank, and when he regained consciousness, both Han Feng in front and Abel in the rear were gone!

"Sun Jun, remember your mission. Yakushi Temple's gentle and smiling voice swept past his ears, which made Sun Rin turn his head suddenly-

"You-" There wasn't any matching figure in sight, but the voice was clearly past my ears!

"Sun Jun, you're not too tight-mouthed. Do you still want to get close to them?" The girl and man who passed by didn't even have time to see their faces, but Sun Rin heard the brisk voice from the crowd in a trance.

How can this be refuted...... Sun Rin made a guttural sound, but finally fell silent.

"It's okay, you're still young, I can forgive you this time. Yakushiji's cheerful voice came from the shadows of the figure, "As long as the result is good, all this childishness is irrelevant. Remember that the strong side will dominate life and death, don't be on the wrong side. ”

I thought that I would forget the feeling of fear after returning to my partners, but at this moment, Sun Rin could only respond dryly: "...... Thank you for your magnanimity...... I understand. ”

"Don't worry, just complete your mission," the empathetic voice smiled and soothed, but the end note suddenly picked up viciously, "If you can't kill people, we'll take care of them." ”

"Yakushi Temple senior!" Sun Rin's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but shout in shock. But the ringing of a bell seemed to shake in his ears as if the other party chuckled categorically, and when he looked around as if he was awake from a dream, the heavy pressure that seemed to be haunted by resentment in his heart had slowly dissipated, and there was only a staggered light and shadow on the street shrouded in night.

"Ah Dai, can you hear me?" suddenly came from the voice of the cedar in the communication note, which made Sun Rin suddenly come back to his senses.

“...... Well. Where's the next place?"

"Go left, and you'll probably be a block away. Cedar asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, at least my consciousness is still my own," Sun Rin smiled self-deprecatingly, "I really shouldn't drink a suspicious person's drink......"

"Oh, how can you drink it......" Cedar said in surprise again, "Okay, drink it all...... I'll give you a remote purification, it's okay, don't have too much psychological pressure. ”

"Please......" With Cedar still feeling relieved, Sun Rin continued to ask for help, "I can't find Bobo and them now, Cedar, can you help me feel it?"

"Eh, are your breaths still together?" Cedar's voice was full of confusion, "I'll see—"

His voice was suddenly interrupted, and the girl's delicate voice came from the communication note: "You are the Heavenly Punisher, right?"

"Ah...... Yes, we are. Cedar replied curtly, it must be the girl who asked for help, and it is not surprising that the crowd will hope for the punishment of heaven in the event of a commotion.

"Good work...... You can do it!" the girl said with a sincere enthusiasm for courage, "if you don't mind, please have a cup of tea first!"

"No need!" was just discussing the topic of not drinking strangers' drinks, and Cedar immediately overreacted and refused.

"Hey Cedar, what's wrong with you over there?" After hearing the invitation to tea, his stomach suddenly warmed, Sun Rin intuitively felt bad, so he hurriedly asked, "Don't drink it yet! Is Alicia next to you?"

But all that was left on the other side of the cedar was a terrifying guttural voice, followed by broken words and the sound of objects falling to the ground—

"Hehe......" The soft voice smiled softly, the tone and gentle tone were so familiar, full of ghostly seductiveness and gloom, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

...... Even the blood turned cold when he realized this, Sun Rin clenched the communication charm and confirmed in vain: "Cedar?"

"Cedar!" Alicia's scream of terror was faintly heard on the other end of the call, confirming his fearful conjecture—

Fear, give in, get rid of evil, take a firm stand, and if you can't do it, bear this insatiable pursuit! Even the night is dyed with vermilion, and the hundred ghosts swaying in the darkness and crimson are thirsting for the comfort of flesh and blood, violence, hatred, desire, and thoughts, and if you can't find a target for revenge, you can use your unrelated death talk as a catharsis!

—

Preview: "He killed Cedar?"

"What are you talking about? impossible!"

"Cedar ...... Dead?"

"No...... Even more painful is yet to come, we have to take back Cedar's body!"

"No, no, no...... What does he want to do with Cedar's body! Don't let him insult Cedar's talent!"

"Brute, why the hell are you doing this!"

Heaven and earth seem to have been thrown into chaos, and the sudden murder shocks the young warrior, and the cruelty that must be experienced is ruthlessly exposed in front of him, and the world has never been kind to any child.

"Don't thank me, someone has to die. ”

"He's a demon! can't lose anymore, can't let him stay in the world!"

"Yun Fei, since you are an opponent of the old vendetta, then use your determination to crush his plan!"

"We will all cooperate with you, come on, get rid of the impure, and use the identity of Onmyoji!"

The fact that you can't return the yang creates a miserable situation in the world where ghosts cry and tweet, understanding, sympathy, righteous indignation, and strength are indispensable if you want to eliminate disasters and disasters. Expelle the hundred ghosts, calm their souls, pour pity and determination into the hands that drive the power of all things, and straighten out the yin and yang——

In the next part, Ghost Cry Reincarnation: Onmyoji
