Chapter 99 Evil Spirit

Outside, the girl was waiting anxiously for Jiang Chen and his companion to come out.

She was afraid that these two might actually welch on their debt and run away; if that happened, her whole day's work would be in vain, and she would be mocked by her companions.

However, after waiting for a while, she suddenly saw a large group of tourists pouring out of the worship hall, walking outside in a panic.

"Huh, does the Yasukuni Shrine close so early today?"

Although the girl found it strange, she didn't think too much about it.

But a moment later, a scream that could shatter eardrums suddenly rang out from inside the worship hall.

Then, with just a short sound, it stopped abruptly, as if someone had grabbed the person by the throat.

The girl looked at the inside of the worship hall in terror; she didn't know what had happened inside, but she knew that those two people hadn't come out yet.

After an internal struggle, the girl decided to wait a little longer; if they didn't come out by then, she would leave.

However, although she was waiting here, the girl still moved some distance away.

...

Inside the hall, Jiang Chen gently wiped the blood off his sword on the corner of a corpse's clothing on the ground.

Then he looked at Jia He, the only other person alive on the scene.

Jiang Chen casually threw him a Talisman folded into a triangular shape.

Jia He subconsciously caught the Talisman with a dazed expression.

He immediately felt a warm current surge into his heart, and the psychological shock he had just received eased quite a bit.

"Ugh, ugh! Junior Martial Uncle, you just killed them all?"

Jia He dry-heaved twice and asked in disbelief.

Although he came from Maoshan and later joined the 749 Bureau, for all this time, he had only ever killed a small ghost.

The most tragic scene he had ever seen was a supernatural person suffering from Qi Deviation and stabbing himself twice.

"You are adapted now; only then can you better face the changes in the world in the future," Jiang Chen said, then strode inside.

Jia He hurriedly followed behind and asked, "Junior Martial Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

"Did your sect elders not tell you? The Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence is growing day by day, and there is a trend of it accelerating. By then, the demons and ghosts in this world may emerge one after another."

...

The main worship hall was an ancient-style building with high eaves on both sides.

On the side of the eaves, yellow Talismans were pasted, fluttering in the wind.

There was also a teru teru bōzu hanging under the eaves, making the scene appear very eerie.

Inside the room, opposite was a wall covered with memorial tablets, and on the side walls were countless names engraved.

And what was eerie was that these individual names were actually flickering with a faint light, emitting a chilling aura.

The room was covered with yellow Talismans, as if to suppress the house.

In the open space of the room, a figure sat on a cushion.

This person was over fifty years old, with a thin and withered physique, sporting a small mustache, wearing a five-pointed star Yin and Yang sorcerer's robe, and a black cap on his head.

At this moment, he was closing his eyes tightly, with black Qi flowing between his mouth and nose, constantly being inhaled and exhaled.

Just then, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, a series of hurried footsteps followed outside the door.

"It's bad, High Priest, someone has come to the Yasukuni Shrine to cause trouble, killed many people, it seems to be a cultivator from China!"

Abe Otsuka's face instantly turned cold, and he snorted coldly. Immediately, the surrounding black Qi dissipated and poured into the names and memorial tablets on the wall.

"These Chinese people have always been calculating to destroy the Yasukuni Shrine. After so many years, they still won't give up. This time they actually used force!"

"Then let him stay and keep us company!"

Suddenly, a sinister, somewhat excited, hoarse voice rang out in the room.

Immediately, this voice was like a key opening Pandora's box.

As the voice fell, the room suddenly seemed to be dancing with demons; countless black Qi emerged from the memorial tablets and the names on the wall, scurrying around the room.

Vaguely, many small, miscellaneous noises also emerged.

However, it could be seen that the black Qi emerging from the memorial tablets was clearly stronger than the black Qi that only had names.

"My lords, please be quiet!"

Although Abe Otsuka was speaking respectfully, his tone was indisputable.

The black Qi in the room immediately quieted down a lot, and many weak black Qi retreated back into the walls, leaving only some powerful black Qi wandering in the room.

It's just that some black Qi wanted to leave the room, but when they touched the walls, the yellow Talismans on the walls would show light and force the black Qi back.

And finally, a final strand of black Qi slowly seeped out from the highest memorial tablet.

The black Qi turned into a winding snake shape, revealing two scarlet rays of light from its head.

"Abe Otsuka, since someone has broken in, why don't you let me out to teach that ignorant villain a lesson, how about it?"

Its voice was hoarse and cold; although fierce, it actually hid a sense of earnestness.

It had stayed in this small hall for too long, and was constantly being sucked of ghost Qi by generations of High Priests to supply their efforts to Cultivate.

This caused its strength to grow very slowly.

Abe Otsuka thought for a moment and suddenly smiled.

"Okay, my lord, please eliminate the invading enemy!"

Suppressing them all the time was not a good thing; it might be better to let these heroic Souls go out for some fresh air.

That way, they might be more well-behaved.

Although the Yasukuni Shrine had successfully recalled the Souls of many war criminals at that time, many of them had long ago turned into fierce ghosts, and the rest had also turned into fierce ghosts during the long siege.

The entire Yasukuni Shrine actually only enshrined a few Heavenly God lords.

As for these fierce ghosts, they were just ghosts who died in the war. As a Yin and Yang Family, how could the Abe Family go to worship some departed Souls?

However, these few Heavenly God lords only absorbed incense and would not care about the mundane world at all; this had been the case for thousands of years.

Even Abe Otsuka began to doubt whether these lords really existed.

Receiving the instructions, the fierce ghost's scarlet eyes suddenly became even more intense, and even its Soul body was unstable.

"Good, good, good! Abe Otsuka, when I achieve the God position, I will bestow upon you supreme glory!"

A sneer appeared in the depths of Abe Otsuka's eyes; it was just a fierce ghost. After being used, its only fate was to become a Shikigami.

Still wanting to become a god? Simply dreaming!

However, Abe Otsuka did not show it, but still respectfully waved his hand to remove the Talisman on the door.

"My lord, please!"

"Good, good, good!"

The fierce ghost was somewhat unbelievable, let out three "goods" in succession, and then tentatively flew towards the door, discovering that there was no obstacle, and Abe Otsuka had no intention of stopping it.

Only then did a trace of cunning appear in the depths of its eyes.

Idiot, do you really think that once I go out, I will come back?

The memorial tablets and shrines inside are just a shell. Once I go out, it will naturally find a good body to house its Soul body!

"Abe Otsuka, I won't help you clean up any outsiders!"

"I am a bird in a cage, a fish in a net. Stepping out of this door is like a bird in the blue sky and a fish in the sea, no longer bound, hahahaha!"

The moment it stepped out of the door, the spirit laughed wildly, and the voice of a reckless person who loved freedom reached Abe Otsuka's ears.

Abe Otsuka's expression changed slightly, but he was not too worried.

Besides the inside of the hall, Talismans and Formations were also set up outside the hall; it couldn't run out!
