Chapter 54 The Girl Possessed by an Evil Spirit
The Suzuki family's current guardian deity is named Yato, though his real name remains unknown. Before becoming a household deity, he was a savage god who relied on killing to survive.
In other words, Yato has no ability to bless anyone.
——He can indeed choose to kill demons and protect whomever he wants at his own will, but because he does not possess the ability to [bless], he cannot accurately perceive the fortune and misfortune of his believers like a true god of fortune, nor can he, like an ordinary god of fortune, still rely on the attributes and power of the godhead itself to give blessings to his believers even when he is dormant.
For this reason, Yato has been trying hard to do good things.
Rather than expelling demons, it is better to kill sneaky people.
However, as his only divine weapon, Ichigo Kurosaki has to attend classes, take basic tests, and also serve as an external aid to help the track and field club participate in the national competition.
Not only does he only get to go out with Yato two days a week, but when a Hollow appears occasionally to cause trouble, the artifact brother throws his body away and swiftly fulfills his duty as a proxy god of death to chop down the Hollow, leaving the god who is ready to protect mankind squatting there in grief and anger.
——Forget about catching ghosts. His role at the moment is just to help his own magic weapon take care of his body.
For Yato, the only good news recently is that the site for his shrine has finally been chosen. For a wandering god with no household registration in Takama-ga-hara, no fixed shrine, and no fixed believers, this is a milestone progress.
To celebrate this great event (Yato's words), he decided to treat his devotees and the sacred objects to a meal.
But he had no money in his pocket.
Yato's original plan was to celebrate by practicing cooking with Yukihira Soma, but Totsuki just agreed to a training camp. Yato touched his wallet and really didn't want to recall how much a glass of juice cost in the restaurants that Sonoko often went to.
However, because he had already said it, later on, Yato even began to think: why don't the two of them just go to eat in the cafeteria of Ichigo Kurosaki's school!
——The email from Soma Yukihira seemed to be his reborn parents.
The address is in a remote town, which means that the prices are not very high. The recommender is the leading Totsuki restaurant, which means the taste is absolutely guaranteed. With such a comparison, this small shop is simply tailor-made for him!
Namimori Town is a very peaceful place.
It's a small town, and the buildings are mainly residential. There are only one or two schools. Although the shopping street is bustling, it only takes about ten minutes to walk from one end to the other. The only shopping mall has discounts almost every day. Because the alley is not big and it is not convenient to drive, after arriving, the three of them simply walked slowly on the street.
Yato was still thinking about the issue of changing his career as a clergyman, and while walking, he muttered about catching ghosts and slaying demons. Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student who had just escaped from a math test, began to count the time for his English test on his fingers.
Suzuki Sonoko walked between them, muttering to herself with her head down and the same mysterious expression as the people on her left and right.
After calculating her favorability with the money tree, she began to calculate the farm construction in the city. She was sad to find that not only could she not buy the soybean farm, but even the mountain she had recently set her eyes on and planned to grow raw mushrooms had an owner. Moreover, this owner was the same as the soybean farm. He had no shortage of money or power, so he didn't care about selling it for money even if he left it there.
The three of them strolled for more than an hour, each of them immersed in the stroll. Almost no one looked up at the road. Fortunately, there were few cars in the area and the manhole covers along the way were in good condition. They strolled around without any distractions until noon, and apart from getting lost, no serious bloody incidents occurred.
"So," Kurosaki Ichigo, who hadn't had breakfast, was the first to come back to his senses, "where is that Take Sushi?"
Sonoko was still counting money on her fingers. When she heard this question, she raised her head blankly. There was only a rough address in Soma Yukihira's email, so she guessed that this store should be quite famous in Namimori.
"Do you need directions?"
It is usually Sonoko who asks for directions. Ordinary people will subconsciously ignore Yato when they see him. Kurosaki Ichigo looks very fierce, so only Sonoko can talk to him properly - but unfortunately, she looked around for a long time and there was no one on this road.
There was a corner of a small alley not far ahead. Yuanzi sighed and was about to take a few more steps to ask a local for directions. But before his feet touched the ground, he suddenly felt a huge pull on his wrist.
In the thousandth of a second when the perspective changed, Sonoko felt as if she was lifted up from the ground, and the next second, her profile was pressed against the zipper on the chest of Yato's sportswear.
Miss Suzuki, who was suddenly carried like a princess, sighed tiredly. This insecure god in our family is so hard to coax!
Sonoko raised her hand with difficulty to pat Yato's shoulder: "I just went to ask for directions, I didn't mean to abandon you..."
On the other side, Ichigo Kurosaki felt his eyes blurred and shook his head to look again. The person who was originally standing in front of him was already in the arms of the person standing behind him. After all, they had been together for a while. Ichigo glanced at Yato's tense calves and subconsciously knew that this person seemed to be preparing to jump.
"Did you...see the sushi restaurant sign?"
Faced with the hesitant question of his own artifact, the unreliable god shook his head seriously: "I didn't see it at the sushi restaurant, but just now, I felt sneaky."
Ichigo was taken aback by what he said, "Is it a wandering spirit?"
Yato shook his head: "No, it's just a ghost."
After he became a patronus, his abilities had some subtle changes, but because they were still very weak, he could only sense them occasionally, and usually they were things that were harmful to humans.
Hearing this, Yuanzi, who had been struggling to get off the ground, instantly calmed down. She nestled quietly in the crook of Yedou's neck, and asked with fear but hidden anticipation, "Is there any danger?"
"well?"
Yato blinked blankly at her, then suddenly pulled her into his arms and shook her. Under Sonoko's bitter gaze, he told her in a particularly sunny tone, "It's not because there's danger that I want to take Sonoko away, but because I discovered a ghost haunting us. As a reserve god of fortune, I have to protect people's safety!"
Suzuki Sonoko: "...Then go ahead, why are you hugging me all of a sudden?"
"Because I want to take Sonoko with me!"
"I think," Sonoko raised her hand and touched his cheek, saying earnestly, "You don't need to call me for this kind of dangerous extracurricular activity..."
"It's not dangerous," Yato tilted his head and rubbed his palm against hers more proactively. "That's why I want Sonoko to come along because it's not dangerous at all. You can also watch my handsome moment!"
Suzuki Sonoko: "...That's fine."
Before she even uttered the word "吧", her mouth was already filled with wind. This was the first time that Sonoko was taken jumping between buildings. She looked down over Yato's shoulder several times. To be honest, she felt dizzy.
Ten minutes later, they were completely away from the sushi restaurant and landed in the open space in front of Namimori Hospital.
Yato gently placed Yuanzi on the ground, and she jumped several times on the spot before she got used to the solid touch of Mother Earth again.
Five minutes later, Ichigo Kurosaki, who had taken a shortcut through the alley, also ran to the scene with a dark face.
"Is there something haunting this hospital?"
Yato closed his eyes and sensed something, then raised his arm and pointed at a window on the third floor of the inpatient department. He frowned slightly and said in a very troubled tone, "I feel a powerful soul slowly enveloping a relatively weak soul."
Ichigo Kurosaki took a deep breath and couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"You mean someone in the ward is possessed by a ghost?"
"I am being possessed by a ghost."
Yato corrected, having opened his eyes.
After saying that, he moved his wrist very deliberately, then turned his head exaggeratedly to look at the window of the ward on the third floor, and then turned his head with the same exaggerated posture, looking at Kurosaki Ichigo with shining eyes.
[Please help me by turning back into a divine tool, my dear Kurone-chan! ]
However, Hei Yin-chan remained unmoved.
Yato clasped his hands in front of his chest and said "hmm" to him shyly.
Ichigo Kurosaki was very upset: He is wearing a body now, so even if he agrees, he can't turn it into a divine weapon!
Yato seemed to have just realized this, and his enthusiasm was instantly dampened. If the ground wasn't really dirty, he would have collapsed and rolled over like a boneless person.
"...Yato?"
"Leave him alone," Kurosaki Ichigo grabbed Sonoko by the back of her collar, preventing her from trying to pull the idiot god. He then kicked Yato's calf, "If you can't act cool, there's no passion. Do you want to be a god of fortune just to look cool, or do you want to be a god of fortune to protect humanity?"
"Of course it's for protection."
"Then you should get up!"
Ichigo slammed his foot on the ground again. "There might be an innocent person being devoured by a demon upstairs. Why are you so worried about saving them?"
"...Because I've been really looking forward to it," Yatoko puffed up one cheek dejectedly, "I was looking forward to letting Sonoko see my super handsome and capable side. After all, I'm a guardian angel, but before this, I was always dealing with the mess of you, an unfilial son..."
A vein jumped on Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead, and he resisted the urge to kick him a third time: "I don't know how to catch ghosts. Do you know how to deal with the situation in the ward upstairs?"
In any case, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent when seeing innocent people being harmed.
Yato was just disappointed because of the psychological gap, but he didn't just ignore it. In order to fulfill his duties as the God of Fortune, he had previously looked up a lot of additional information.
"Actually, I don't have any special methods to deal with ghosts, and I can't use you to kill him now." Yato rolled his eyes at Ichigo and said, "But, in fact, there are ways to eliminate the root of the problem without fighting."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a possession by a ghost," Yato spread his hands. "I'm not afraid of this kind of thing. Kurone-chan should be immune to it. We'll go and force that thing out of the person's body, and then..."
"And then what?"
"Then it's time for gardening!"
Miss Sonoko, who thought she was just a logistics support and watching the fun, found two pairs of bright eyes turning towards her. She was confused to find that she might be included in this inexplicable battle plan.
"What... do you want to do?"
She couldn't help but tighten her clothes on her chest, but she warned them seriously: "Although I claim to have learned Yin-Yang magic, I only know half of it! The talismans I draw are not even afraid of a six-year-old vixen, let alone crossing the border to catch a ghost..."
"No, no, no," Yato took two steps forward and put his arm on Sonoko's shoulders like a good brother: "I promise it won't be dangerous."
What Yato meant was that Sonoko had a BUFF that scared away all kinds of demons. Although he didn't know why the range of the light seemed to have become smaller, it seemed to him that the light had become very solid.
Sonoko didn't need to use her half-baked Yin-Yang magic to help catch ghosts. When he and Ichigo drove the ghost out of the victim, she could just pounce on it and hug it tightly.
Once she hugs him, the evil ghost will surely die!
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized what I meant and said, "Oh!" Then she asked, "Since the ghost will disappear when I hold it in my arms, why don't I just go to the ward and hold the person who is possessed by the ghost?"
"Wouldn't it be better to just kill the ghost inside her body?"
Kurosaki Ichigo clicked his tongue, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, then suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"Have you ever seen a drunken man act crazy?"
"well?"
Sonoko didn't understand the reason behind this, but Ichigo Kurosaki, who had followed Yato through the streets and witnessed many supernatural events, did understand it.
Although ghosts and spirits are afraid of Suzuki Sonoko and will indeed disappear when touched by her, there is a time lag in the disappearance.
When a ghost possesses a person, the ghost and the person become one. The ghost struggles because of the pain, and the body controlled by it also struggles. The situation is similar to that of a drunkard going crazy, and it is impossible to suppress it without three or five people.
Ghosts will not cause harm to the garden, so she can hug a ghost; but if she hugs a person and that person scratches her, she will probably end up with blood.
So she didn't need to contact the person who was possessed by the ghost. She just needed to contact the four ghosts after they had dealt with the victim.
Ichigo Kurosaki could sense that Yato seemed to have always wanted Sonoko to get in touch with the things in that world, but he was also very concerned about her personal safety. Although today's possession incident was a coincidence, he was not sure whether Yato was lying when he said that there was nothing he could do.
But it doesn’t matter…
Ichigo Kurosaki flexed his wrists while climbing the stairs. The fact that the unreliable god dared to let Sonoko get involved in this matter meant that there was probably no danger in it.
Even without using the power of the God of Death, Ichigo Kurosaki is still a human with very strong spiritual power. Yato is now more like a chaotic body between the god of fortune and the god of evil. He has no control over his power, so the task of forcing the ghost out later will mainly be done by him.
Suzuki Sonoko's dressing style is mainly determined by her stylist. Since she started working seriously, the overall shape of her clothes, whether Japanese or Western style, has become more complicated.
The hem of her skirt was very long and had many pleats. She kept tripping while climbing the stairs. By the time she ran to the corridor of the ward where Yato sensed the incident, Sonoko was completely annoyed by the annoying skirt. Instead of being afraid, the novelty gradually took over.
Ichigo Kurosaki pulled her to squat beside a chair across the ward, where Yato was analyzing the action plan with her.
"The signal will be the shout. When you, Sonoko, hear me yell your name, I will open the ward door. Ichigo will then restrain the struggling victim and use his violent spiritual power to force the ghost out of the patient's body. All you have to do is rush through the door and embrace the shadow with all your heart. Got it?"
Yuanzi nodded quickly.
Yato and Ichigo looked at each other, nodded seriously, opened the door and walked into the ward.
Suzuki Sonoko was very excited at the moment. She was actually very curious about these things, but she was taught not to do anything stupid since she was a child, so no matter how curious she was, she had never really done anything.
Now two great guys are ready to take her flying, just to experience it and satisfy her desire, it feels really good!
Thinking of this, Yuanzi took out a notepad from her bag, recalled Chao Li Yuyue's slow and leisurely teaching course, and quickly drew several talismans in a row.
She squatted at the door of the ward and took three deep breaths, but there was still no signal from the ward. Her legs were a little numb from squatting, and she was afraid that the patrolling doctor would mistake her for a criminal and hand her over to the security guard, so she held on to the chair next to her and kept peeking at the ward opposite.
Speaking of which, Yuanzi turned his bored eyes to the nameplate in front of the ward door, thinking that this was clearly an intensive care unit. Not only were there no doctors or nurses patrolling, but why wasn't there even a family member visiting?
As for this little girl named Nagi...
Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh at her birth: It was bad enough to be in the ICU at such a young age, but she was even targeted by a ghost.
Before he could finish his sigh, he heard a loud shout from inside.
"Garden—"
Suzuki Sonoko was startled by the loud male voice and subconsciously wanted to answer "Here", but then she remembered that this was a ghost catching scene.
She took a deep breath, placed a painted talisman on the palm of each hand, concentrated her mind and closed her eyes, and the next second after she heard the creaking sound of the door being opened, she rushed into the ward.
Without even looking, guided by some strange sense, she directly hugged the black shadow rising in front of her.
In the blink of an eye, the garden almost collapsed along with the illusory shadow!
Suzuki Sonoko originally thought that she would feel cold. In her opinion, ghosts are a collection of yin energy and should be very cold. And according to Yato, the ghost will dissipate after she touches it. So when she found that her feet had slipped, Sonoko immediately prepared to fall on her face.
I just hope you don’t disfigure me, Amen.
As the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, Sonoko found that she was indeed hugging a figure, but instead of being cold, this person slowly warmed up in her arms.
Her eyes were still closed at the moment. Although she was curious, she didn't have the courage to actually see the ghost's face. She could only rely on her sense of touch and groped and pinched it up and down with her hands.
She felt the thin clothes and the neat lines of the back underneath.
“Ahhhhh~”
A light and pleasant male voice with a sticky ending sound, Sonoko felt a warm palm gently pressing on the back of her neck. The man rubbed the thin skin at the vertebrae gently, and before Sonoko could react, he directly held her face.
Suzuki Sonoko blinked blankly, and was met with a pair of unusually red-blue eyes and a pineapple-like hairstyle by a young man who touched the corner of her lips with interest and asked with a smile, "I just wonder if the person who gave me the body is actually a lost nightingale—"
In the sight, there was a cynical smile on the boy's fair face under his indigo hair.
"Or is it a snowy owl that was specially hunted for these two stupid hunters?"
The author has something to say: The girl possessed by an evil spirit: Chrom.
Devil: Her Corpse-sama.
The light around Sonoko is a source of blessing. Ghosts that are touched by it will die, but weak souls (such as Mr. Rokudo Mukuro's spirit) will be nourished and thus materialize.
