Sakurai Tong received another piece of equipment to deal with monsters from the Ota District Branch of the Tokyo Monster Countermeasures Department - a Japanese-style kendo sword with a black blade.
This thing is made of solar meteorite iron, and is called the Solar Blade for short. It is very effective against monsters and ghosts. Her previous sword was damaged when she dealt with the Fox Cult gathering point.
With the weapon, Sakurai Tong was more confident in removing the earthbound spirit. That was all her money, and she couldn't wait.
Monsters can gain power by eating human hearts, but once they have eaten a human heart, they can no longer control their desires and will become monsters that endanger human society.
As the number of human hearts eaten by the monsters increases, they become stronger. Low-level monsters with low IQs will also become cunning, increasing their intelligence but losing their rationality.
Ghosts are similar to monsters, but they do not eat human hearts. Instead, they absorb the negative energy of people before they die to strengthen themselves.
Arakawa Ward.
At midnight, in front of an ordinary Japanese-style two-story house with a separate courtyard.
Sakurai Tong had no money to take a bus, so he walked across most of Tokyo and came here. According to the investigation, a family of three was harmed by an earthbound spirit. The landlord called the police, and the police handed the case over to the Tokyo Strange Countermeasures Division.
Before the earthbound spirit was removed, no one else rented here, so it became half-abandoned.
She pushed the door open and walked in. If the earthbound spirit dared to come out, she would kill it with a single blow. Sakurai Tong was not afraid that the earthbound spirit would discover her coming.
and……
The place where the earthbound spirit resided was like a body. She entered the second-floor house but could not hide from the strange eyes, and being cautious was of no avail.
…
The depths of the endless corridor were as dark as ink.
The corridor walls were stained black with smoke and smelled of burning.
The solid wood floor under my feet was black and rotten, as if it had been burned by fire, and it made a creaking sound when I stepped on it, unable to bear the weight.
Faintly, one could hear the sound of flames rising, the sound of wooden boards burning and cracking in the flames, and even the screams of adults and children.
Is it an illusion?
It wasn't an illusion. A faint green flame suddenly rose from the cracks in the floor and on the walls of the corridor.
The entire corridor was surrounded by flames, as if in hell.
The green flame was hot and burning, spreading towards her from all directions. Sakurai Tong felt a tingling sensation on her skin.
“Help…Help, save me.”
“Save…save…me.”
Standing in the middle of the dark green flames, cries for help were heard all around.
The sound gradually became clearer.
A hand as black as coal suddenly stretched out from the corridor wall and grabbed her arm.
Sakurai Tong turned her head, like a burnt stick crawling out of the flames. She could vaguely make out a human face, with only the eyes remaining on the face, looking into hers.
There was pain and pleading in his eyes.
Sakurai Tong swung the small sword and chopped it directly, and the charred stick monster's arm was instantly cut in two.
The monster wailed, and hatred replaced pain in its eyes. Suddenly, the facial features except for the eyes were torn apart from the mouth, and its teeth became sharp and gradually became hideous because of the pain.
He opened his bloody mouth and bit her fiercely.
Sakurai Tongzhen passed down the ancient swordsmanship Shinji Ittoryu, the core concept of which is to kill with one blow. She was not panicked by the attack of the charred stick monster. She slid back a step and adjusted her posture. Facing the charred stick monster's outstretched neck, she chose to use sword skills to go straight into the center and win with one blow.
"Bury."
The small sword cut into the charred stick monster's head. Sakurai Tong shouted and exerted force again, and the head split in two. Before it could even scream, the charred stick monster's body turned into carbon ash and fell to the ground.
This is what a disaster level E earthbound spirit is like. After getting 80,000 yen, Sakurai Tong smiled and prepared to go back to hand in the task.
but……
She was only happy for a moment, as the dark green flames around the corridor did not disappear but continued to burn.
What's going on?
Sakurai Tongzhi frowned. The charred stick monster should have been destroyed by her. It was dead and could not be alive. Even the carbon ash it turned into was still there.
The dark green flames burned more and more vigorously, and Sakurai Tong suddenly thought of a possibility - a family of three in the house were killed by the earthbound spirit.
Damn earthbound spirit.
Sakurai Tong cursed when she figured out what the charred stick monster she had just pulled out was. If she thought so, there should be two similar charred monsters in this two-story house and an earthbound spirit hiding in the dark and spying on her.
Possessing the ability to create and control charcoal monsters, it's no wonder that it became a disaster level E monster. The earthbound spirit is a bit tricky for her.
Use the charcoal monster to test her strength, and once you know her strength, you can launch a sneak attack or give her a thundering blow.
Cunning and shrewd.
Originally, the Earthbound Spirit was just a vengeful spirit bound to one place by obsession. This thing acted based on obsession. It seemed that absorbing the negative energy after the death of three people allowed it to awaken its spiritual intelligence.
The dark green flames were gradually approaching. Without much time to think, Sakurai Tong chose the room closest to her and broke in.
Just as she thought, there were two charred stick monsters in the room, dragging their lower bodies and crawling on the floor.
In the cracks of the floor and walls of the room, as well as in the corridor outside, there was a faint green flame burning.
One is big and the other is small. Under the carbon-black appearance, Sakurai Tong could recognize that the big one was a woman in her previous life, and the small one was a child.
She struggled in pain and uttered a vaguely recognizable sound from her throat, hoarsely saying, "Help...Help, save me."
Having turned into a monster, he had already lost his consciousness. Asking for help was just an obsession or a reluctance before death. Sakurai Tong did not hesitate. She swung the small sword and made a mid-section start, then took a step forward and pounced.
