"Get ready, we'll set off immediately."
"Quick victory."
The atmosphere in the living room became somber because of his words.
A hunt for an unknown evil spirit is about to begin.
Chapter 99 Exorcism 2
Zhou Ye opened his phone and skillfully operated the map application.
The location of Hoshigure Shrine is clearly shown.
He put away his phone, and without further ado, directly activated the imaginary space.
In an instant, the scene in the living room distorted and folded, and the next second, everyone was in a completely different environment.
Miko Yotsuya and Utaha Kasumigaoka both let out a suppressed gasp almost simultaneously.
The scene before them suddenly changed from a familiar living room to a desolate foothills; this transformation was too abrupt and beyond their comprehension.
"This...this is..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned against a tree trunk to steady herself, her face filled with disbelief.
Miko Yotsuya's pupils constricted, and her body trembled slightly from the sudden spatial jump.
This was the first time they had personally experienced a teleportation ability that only existed in their imagination.
Zhou Ye's expression, however, remained unusually calm.
"It's nothing."
He spoke casually, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
"High-level mystical powers such as demons and angels can perform cross-dimensional teleportation."
"It is common for people to be transported from the human realm to the demon realm or the heavenly realm."
"You'll learn it when you study it systematically later."
His words carried a certain certainty that left Miko Yotsuya and Utaha Kasumigaoka speechless for a moment.
Saeko Busujima looked around, a hint of excited smile on her lips, quite satisfied with this efficient method of movement.
Jill and Nanrika, on the other hand, observed their surroundings warily, more concerned about the application of this ability in actual combat.
Shizuka Marikawa's face was a little pale, but she still tried her best to straighten her back and curiously looked around at the unfamiliar environment.
Nami remained calm, seemingly used to this kind of scene.
Zhou Ye's gaze fell upon the ruins of the Hoshigure Shrine at the foot of Mount Tsukuba not far away.
A faint, acrid smell filled the air, mixed with a nauseating odor, like rotting flesh burning.
Amidst the burnt-down ruins of the shrine, some blurry figures began to emerge, their bodies twisted and carrying an ominous aura.
"Ah-le-le".
Zhou Ye uttered a cryptic sigh.
"We were given a warm welcome by the evil spirits as soon as we arrived."
His tone was relaxed, as if he were talking about a chance encounter on a casual outing.
"Were most of them burned to death?"
Not only Zhou Ye, but Saeko Busujima and the others also clearly saw the evil spirits wandering in the ruins of the shrine.
Some were dressed in tattered shrine maiden costumes, while others were in modern everyday attire.
Their only common feature is that they are covered with hideous burn marks, some even with missing limbs, and they exude a strong sense of resentment.
The moment Yotsuya Miko saw those things, the shock she had just experienced from the spatial teleportation was immediately replaced by a deeper fear.
She instinctively grabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha's arm; her fingertips were icy cold.
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't see the clear forms of those evil spirits, the biting cold in the air and Miko's sudden tense body made her heart tighten.
The fear that had temporarily dissipated because of Zhou Ye's strength surged back into my heart like a tide.
The two clung tightly to each other, trembling.
Zhou Ye remained noncommittal about their reactions, his attention focused on the burning ghosts that were gradually gathering around him.
He stretched out his palm, palm facing up.
A transparent sphere, seemingly composed of pure space, slowly condensed and rotated in his palm.
Zhou Ye casually tossed the transparent sphere into the air.
"blockade.!"
With his deep voice, the transparent sphere suddenly expanded as it reached the sky above the shrine ruins.
An invisible barrier instantly enveloped the entire area of the ruins of the Star Rain Shrine.
Those burning ghosts that were originally wandering around and trying to get closer let out a shrill but silent scream when they touched the edge of the barrier. Their bodies emitted black smoke as if they were being burned, and they all retreated.
After Zhou Ye finished doing all this, his expression remained calm.
"These small fry are secondary; the key is that evil fox spirit."
He pondered in his heart.
"Using the rules to set a curse is interesting, but that's about it."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was overwhelmed with shock as she looked at the invisible yet real barrier and the sight of the evil spirits retreating.
She felt that her worldview was being refreshed again and again.
“Zhou Jun…this is…”
Zhou Ye glanced at her.
"Simple spatial enclosure prevents things inside from escaping and also prevents outsiders from spying on them."
"After all, the commotion that's about to happen might not be small."
Saeko Busujima gripped her katana tightly, the blade shimmering with moisture. Her eyes, sharp as blades, were already locked onto several seemingly resentful ghosts who had been burned to death.
"Boss, can these guys be served as an appetizer?"
Jill and Nanri exchanged a glance. They also began to try to construct weapons in their minds and attempted to incorporate the "meaning of lightning" that Zhou Ye had mentioned into them.
Although it was their first time trying it, they could feel the wonder of [All Things Weapon].
Shizuka Marikawa nervously clutched a small first-aid kit that emitted a soft green light—a kit she had just conjured using the Heart of Life.
Nami stood beside Zhou Ye, her orange eyes calmly analyzing the energy fluctuations of the evil spirits.
"These ghosts who were burned alive have a lot of resentment, but they are not strong individually."
"They must have been trapped and died in that fire, and then affected by the special magnetic field of this place or other evil spirits, which is why they were formed."
As Yotsuya Miko watched Zhou Ye calmly set up the barrier and heard Nami's composed analysis, her fear seemed to dissipate somewhat.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Having chosen the second path, she could no longer simply run away like before.
Zhou Ye looked at the sealed-off shrine ruins with a calm expression.
"Alright, let's begin the warm-up exercises."
"Saeko, Gil, Rika, Shizuka, Nami, these little ones are yours to practice on."
"Remember, don't hold back, they won't be polite to you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Saeko Busujima was the first to rush out.
Saeko Busujima had sharp eyes and exuded a fierce aura.
The moment the katana was drawn, water vapor swirled around its blade, but this time it was mixed with an unusual blue halo.
She leaped up, her whole body like an arrow released from a bow.
Water Breathing Collapse Secret Technique!
The katana's trajectory created a stunning flash of light in the water, but this flash contained a strange power.
That was Honkai energy, a new power bestowed upon her by Zhou Ye.
Wherever the blade passes, the air is cut, and the water flow and Honkai energy intertwine to form a deadly blade.
Several burning ghosts didn't even have time to let out a wail before they were cleaved into pieces by this water breath mixed with special energy.
The moment the fragments scattered, their resentment was completely purified by the Honkai energy.
Nami stood still, her Clima-Tact slightly raised.
"I'm not weak either."
Suddenly, the tip of the weather stick burst out with lightning, making a crackling sound.
The next instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Boom!
The lightning struck straight into the area where the evil spirits were most concentrated.
The dozens of burned ghosts didn't even realize what was happening.
The power of thunder tore their forms apart, completely erasing even their resentment.
Saeko Busujima turned around and smiled sweetly.
You're not bad either.
Nami gave a soft hum, and the Weather Stick was recharged.
trivial.
More lightning danced at her fingertips.
Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.
