Chapter 525 A Very Bold Idea
The sky gradually darkened.
When the entire Suizhi was completely shrouded in the night, there were a few figures walking in the dark and deserted mountains.
These people are naturally Aize, Yoshino Asatake and Mako Hitachi.
At this time, Aize had changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, Asatake Yoshino also put on Chihaya and the shrine maiden's clothes, and Hitachi Mako put on the ninja clothes. The three of them also held weapons in their hands and slowly walked deeper into the mountains.
Aize took the lead and walked in front, followed by Asatake Yoshino and Hitachi Mako, who walked side by side with serious faces.
No, that's not right either.
To be more precise, behind Aize, in front of Asatake Yoshino and Hitachi Mako, there was a being that no one else could see floating...
"Where on earth is the evil spirit? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Cong Yu clutched Aize's clothes tightly, looking around and shivering.
"Come out quickly... Come out quickly... Come out quickly..."
It was like a spell, mixed with thick whispers of fear. It was even more terrifying than the pitch-black darkness in the mountains. It was like the curse of an evil spirit.
"…Didn't I tell you that there wouldn't be any ghosts here?"
Aize didn't look back, but just walked forward, squinting his eyes and making such remarks.
"Who said that? What if there is a ghost?" Cong Yu was still trembling with fear, and refuted Aize's words, saying, "Even evil spirits haunt the mountains, so even if a ghost suddenly appears, it's normal, right?"
It's normal indeed, like you, you look like a ghost now.
Glancing at Cong Yu floating behind him, Aize spoke weakly.
"Or you can go back first, we are here."
Anyway, I have the divine power to provide to Cong Yuwan to make it work. Even if Cong Yu is not here, it will not have any impact.
But as soon as Aize said this, Cong Yu immediately refuted it.
"We are one with Cong Yuwan. Wherever Cong Yuwan is, there we are!"
Then you should not leave Cong Yuwan alone and wander around in Suizhi...
Aize was too lazy to complain and could only walk forward, hoping that the evil spirit would appear soon.
"Mozi, did you find anything?"
"No, I don't feel the aura of the evil spirit at all. Where is Lady Yoshino?"
“I didn’t notice anything…”
"It seems we need to go deeper."
Asatake Yoshino and Hitachi Mako were also talking in low voices. Their highly prepared appearance, compared with Aize and Cong Yu who were still able to bicker with each other, fully demonstrated what it meant to be on guard against a formidable enemy.
The two girls didn't dare to be as disrespectful as Aize.
For them, the evil spirit is still a very scary existence, and they can lose their lives if they are not careful. This is the vigilance they have developed from their long-term activities to exorcise the evil spirit.
Especially since both of them were still somewhat cautious.
Chao Wufang felt that he was not strong enough and was afraid that he would fall behind again, so he was fully focused and did not dare to relax at all.
Hitachi Mako is indeed quite powerful, but she has no means to directly exorcise the evil spirit, so she can only provide assistance from the side, so she dare not be careless.
Only someone like Aize, who is both extremely powerful and has the means to exorcise evil spirits, can be so calm and relaxed.
In fact, now Aize no longer takes the evil god seriously.
There was no way. He already had the ability to kill the evil spirit instantly, so how could he possibly take it seriously?
His behavior fully illustrates what it means that a person with great skill and courage is a person of great courage.
At least, he now has a very bold idea, and is waiting for the evil god to come out and implement it directly.
"I hope it's of some use..."
Aize thought so and lifted the object on his shoulder.
His actions immediately attracted Cong Yu.
"Speaking of which, Master, why do you carry a bag up the mountain?"
Cong Yu finally raised this question.
Looking closely, Aize was carrying a shoulder bag, which was bulging and obviously filled with things.
"What's inside?" Hitachi Moko had actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago. When she saw Cong Yu asking, she immediately asked, "Is it a secret weapon?"
"Impossible?" Chao Wu Fang Nai was a little skeptical and hesitant. "What secret weapon can be used to deal with the evil spirit?"
Besides, Aize doesn’t need it, right?
If they can kill instantly, what secret weapon do they need?
Wouldn't it be enough to just draw your sword and rush forward to chop?
However, when Asatake Yoshino was thinking this, Aize echoed what Hitachi Mako said.
"In a sense, it really is a secret weapon."
Aize said this with a smile, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
"What secret weapon can compare to Cong Yu Wan? We already have Cong Yu Wan...what other secret weapon do we need?"
Cong Yu no longer cared about being afraid and started to act awkwardly.
"I won't let you see it now." Seeing the different reactions from everyone, Aize said, "You will know what this is later."
Hearing this, Cong Yu and Asatake Yoshino wanted to say something, but were stopped by Hitachi Mako, whose expression suddenly froze.
“Here it comes!”
Hitachi Mako had just finished speaking when a rustling sound came from the bushes in front.
The relaxed atmosphere at the scene suddenly disappeared and became tense, heavy and scary.
"Owner!"
Cong Yu moved quickly this time. Before Aize could pull out the Cong Yu Pill, he had already turned into a flash and disappeared.
Aize could feel that at this moment, the Cong Yuwan in his hand seemed to be infused with a soul, as if it had come alive, emitting an aura that only he could perceive.
Obviously, Cong Yu has already taken up residence in Cong Yu Wan.
She was worried that she would be abandoned by Aize like last time, leaving Aize to fight alone, so this time she didn't even think about it and immediately got into Cong Yuwan, letting the clear spiritual energy resonate in the scabbard.
At the same time, the rustling sound in the bushes ahead became more and more obvious, and a pitch-black shadow, darker and filthier than the pitch-black night in the mountains, emerged from the bushes.
A monster, whose body seemed to be covered with mud and had no shape at all, suddenly appeared.
“Swish!”
The next second, the filthy existence disintegrated like a ball of mud and turned into mud. Then it suddenly bounced out, turned into a beast in mid-air, and pounced on Aize who was standing in the front.
Compared with the previous evil gods, this attack was even faster.
"Could it be that the evil spirit also has the ability to learn?"
Thinking of the other party's strange ejection state just now, this thought flashed through Aize's mind, but his hands moved faster than the thoughts in his mind.
“Bang!”
With a dull sound, the knife in Aize's hand, which had not yet been unsheathed, collided directly with the head of the evil spirit that was flying towards him, knocking both of them away at the same time.
"Mozi!"
When Asatake Yoshino saw Aize being knocked back, she immediately called out to Hitachi Mako.
"yes!"
Hitachi Mako rushed forward without hesitation. Her running movements were very similar to those of the ninjas on TV, or perhaps it could be said that this was ninja running. Her legs moved so fast that they seemed to turn into afterimages, while her upper body remained strangely stable. The kunai in her hand had already been swung out and chopped at the evil god who was also repelled.
“Bang!”
Another muffled sound was heard, but it was not the sound of Hitachi Mako's kunai hitting the evil god.
The defeated evil spirit turned into mud at some point, and then recovered instantly. In this astonishing way, it stabilized its steps and body faster than Aize, and stretched out its dark tentacles, lashing towards Hitachi Misaki, colliding with the kunai in Hitachi Misaki's hand.
“Snap!” “Snap!” “Snap!” “Snap!”…
The tentacles swung several times at high speed, attacking Hitachi Masaki again and again, but were blocked, deflected, and repelled one by one by Hitachi Masaki's kunai, and failed to achieve any success.
"Watch this!"
At this time, Asatake Yoshino also moved, and the hokorin in her hand stabbed directly at the evil god.
There was no obvious change in the movement compared to before, except that the speed was a little faster, which proved that Asatake Yoshino's training during this period was not completely ineffective.
“Puff!”
In the blink of an eye, Asatake Yoshino's hokobell pierced the body of the Suikami.
“————!”
A small part of the evil god's body suddenly dissipated like smoke, making its empty eyes seem to emit pain and resentment. It directly changed its target, waving its tentacles and swinging towards Asatake Yoshino.
"careful!"
Hitachi Mako screamed, but before she could say anything, Asatake Yoshino lowered her head and dodged the tentacles.
Hitachi Masaki didn't know that at the same time as she hit the evil god, a sentence flashed through Asatake Yoshino's mind.
"Although the Hokorin you used can also cause damage to the Suishin, the effect is obviously not as good as the Souma Maru. If you don't hit the vital point, it will be difficult to kill the Suishin with one blow. So you must remember that even if you succeed in taking a blow, you must not be careless. You must be prepared to dodge and retreat at the same time as you successfully hit the opponent, otherwise you will be defeated by the Suishin who counterattacks."
This is what Aize said to Asatake Yoshino during morning exercise.
At that time, they were training their temporary reactions.
In order to adapt to the current situation, Aize would use a jump rope to hit Yoshino Asatake every morning, and let Yoshino Asatake try to dodge and practice her dodging reaction.
Thanks to this, Asatake Yoshino reacted immediately. When she heard the sound of the tentacles cutting through the air, she immediately squatted and dodged, causing the evil god's counterattack to fail.
At the same time, there was a sound of running from the side, and a figure ran over quickly, swung the knife in his hand suddenly, and smashed it hard on the evil god.
“Bang!”
The powerful blow successfully knocked the evil spirit away.
However, the effect of this attack stopped there and did not cause any harm to the evil spirit at all.
The mud-like figure bounced on the ground, and its whole body melted immediately. Then it quickly recovered to stand on all fours, and stared at this side with empty and terrifying eyes.
"Are you alright? Lady Yoshino!"
Hitachi Mako ran in front of Asatake Yoshino.
"fine."
Asatake Yoshino quickly shook her head, holding the hokobell, looking faintly excited.
She also realized her progress.
Although it wasn't much, being able to not fall behind undoubtedly made Yoshino Asatake very satisfied.
On the other hand, Aize, after swinging the evil spirit away with one blow, confronted it while listening to Cong Yu's complaints in his mind.
"Why don't you draw your sword, Master?"
If Aize had drawn his sword and attacked with that strike just now, the evil god would have been dead long ago.
When Cong Yu saw Aize rushing towards him, he thought that he would perform the amazing sword-drawing technique like he did last time and kill the evil spirit in one blow.
As a result, Aize had no intention of drawing his sword, but just swung the evil spirit away, making Cong Yu angry and anxious.
She was also prepared to be of use in this battle, in order to avoid falling into the embarrassing situation of being unwanted again.
Unfortunately, Cong Yu, who thought so, was destined to be of little use this time.
no way.
"I had no intention of exorcising it here."
Aize stared at the evil god and expressed his bold idea word by word.
"I'm going to capture it alive."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly looked at Aize.
“W-what?!”
At this moment, whether it was Asatake Yoshino, Hitachi Mako, or even Cong Yu, they all let out sounds of astonishment.
Capture alive?
What to capture alive?
Capture the evil spirit alive?
Are you kidding me?
"I'm not kidding."
It was as if Aize could read minds. Even without looking at the girls behind him, he could clearly feel their eyes and expressions filled with astonishment.
So he said this very calmly.
"If we simply exorcise the evil spirit, it will undoubtedly be the same as before. Nothing will change. We can only temporarily purify the filth and make the curse disappear temporarily. After a while, new evil spirits and filth will appear again, and the curse will reappear."
“Why should we continue to treat the symptoms but not the root cause and repeat the same mistakes?”
"If we want to completely resolve the Chaowu family's curse and Ms. Chaowu's dog spirit possession, we must change our previous practices."
With this idea in mind, Aize came up with the idea of capturing the evil god alive.
"If we want to completely resolve the curse, we must first study the composition of this evil spirit, or at least see if there are any secrets hidden in it." Aize confronted the evil spirit and said without looking back: "In this case, it is necessary to capture this evil spirit alive."
This statement was undoubtedly shocking, at least it had a significant impact on people like Asatake Yoshino who had been insisting on purification for a long time.
"But, but how can we capture the evil spirit alive? This is simply impossible, right?"
Cong Yu's voice echoed in Aize's mind with a hint of helplessness.
It can be seen from the evil spirit's activities so far that it has no real form at all, and its body can melt and disintegrate at any time. There is no flesh and blood on its body, only filthy black air.
How to catch it?
Whether you tie him up with chains or put him in a cage, it's impossible, right?
"rest assured."
Aize naturally knew this, but a smile appeared on his face.
"That's why I made this preparation."
As he spoke, Aize took off the shoulder bag he had been carrying and took out the secret weapon inside.
