Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 198 Jingu Seiji
"A wired phone can be used to call evil spirits, thus getting rid of the evil spirit's attack in front of you, but the price is to forcibly trigger the pattern of the ghost who answers the phone."

"This thing is quite interesting. It's like robbing Peter to pay Paul. But if you use it with a scapegoat, maybe it can imprison the evil spirit in one fell swoop."

Cao Yang casually stuffed all these containers into the human skin pocket. This time the human skin pocket was relatively well behaved and did not cause any trouble.

About twenty minutes later, Akimoto barely recovered. All the body parts that had been eaten were replaced by black ghost mud, making him look more like a real evil ghost. There was an aura of death all over his body, and his expression became numb. The ghost mud's erosion of him intensified.

"In your situation, it's hard for me to tell whether you are a human or a ghost."

Cao Yang looked at Qiu Ben, who had been mending clothes for another three years, and said in a bad tone.

"I'm sorry, Master Cao Yang. I have no choice. Ghost Mud is so special. I can understand your distrust, but I think I should still be considered a human being."

Akimoto spoke, and a lot of dirt fell out of his mouth as he spoke, looking very disgusting.

"Qianye, keep an eye on him. If he shows any abnormality, lock him up directly. I know you can't bear it, but I hope you know that if I take action, his fate will be even worse."

"Understood. I will restrict Akimoto-kun and prevent him from causing any harm to Lord Cao Yang."

Qianye nodded heavily. Cao Yang's words were cruel, but they were all true. Cao Yang was the main force in solving supernatural events. He would never allow anyone to affect his actions, not even Qiu Ben.

"Go to that house and have a look."

This time, Cao Yang did not let Qiu Ben lead the way, but directly opened the ghost den, and several people instantly appeared in front of the door of the detached house.

This wooden house is very old, at least several decades old, but it does not look desolate or dilapidated. On the contrary, it still retains its original simplicity and elegance. However, the so-called "supernatural things" suppressed in the wooden house made Cao Yang feel inexplicably uneasy, so he decided to find out.

"I'm sorry to bother you, guest, but visitors are not allowed here."

Under the eaves of the wooden house, a middle-aged man in a kimono stood there with a smile. He did not speak, but his voice reached Cao Yang's ears. It was strange that Cao Yang could understand the meaning of this sentence even though he could not understand the island language before.

Cao Yang's face suddenly changed. It was obvious that this was an incomprehensible supernatural method, and the source was the man in kimono in front of him.

"You are...Senior Jingu?"

Chiba exclaimed.

But the man in kimono did not respond. He just smiled at Cao Yang, as if he could not hear Qianye's voice at all, or he heard it but did not care.

"You can't hear him?"

Cao Yang was not panicked, but asked slowly. Although the man in kimono was the strongest ghost rider Cao Yang had met since he came to the island country, that was all. The ghost in his body did not give any warning, which meant that the other party's strength was not enough to pose a threat to him.

"Of course I can hear it, but the words of the weak are not worth paying attention to. But you are different. I have met many ghost riders in my life, and your strength is enough to rank among the best among them."

The man in kimono still maintained a smiling expression.

"Your name is... Jingu?"

"My name is Jingu Seiji. I am the last surviving Jade from the Exorcist Society forty years ago. All the Jade in my batch have died. They were all the most loyal defenders of Bushido."

"What is suppressed in the room?"

Cao Yang asked.

"A knife and a ghost."

Jingu Seiji did not hide it, but said it directly. "The most famous samurai sword in the island country is the demon sword Muramasa. This sword suppresses the Hundred Eyes Demon, and it is also the most ferocious demon that has appeared in the island country so far."

"The Demon Sword Muramasa, the Hundred Eyed Star Lord, are these myths true?"

Cao Yang seemed to be thinking about something.

"You can ask me any questions you have. As a relic of the past, I know some secrets that may be able to answer your questions."

Jingu Seiji is very generous, unlike the stingy image that is common in island countries.

"The Exorcist Society is on the verge of extinction. Why are you still guarding this room? Are the lives of the Exorcist Society and even the people of the entire island country less valuable than this one hundred-eyed demon?"

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I have been entangled with the Hundred Eyes Demon for decades. It's not that I am unwilling to show up, but that I am unable to do so. To be honest, the Hundred Eyes Demon is my body. I am using Muramasa to try to complete a great plan!"

Shen Gong's emotions were somewhat agitated, but Cao Yang roughly guessed the truth from his words.

"This Jingu Seiji tried to control the Hundred Eyes Demon, but the Hundred Eyes Demon was extremely terrifying, so he used the magical item, the Demon Sword, to help himself, but the process was very long..."

"Interesting, is there anything else in the room?"

"There are also some supernatural objects that exist to serve my great plan. I have an unwelcome request, and I hope you can agree to it."

There was a flash of scarlet in Shen Gong's eyes, which looked very strange. Cao Yang noticed this detail, but he did not expose it.

"The great plan has come to an end at this moment. I implore you to enter the room, pull out the demon sword, and set me free. The Exorcist Island Nation needs me to save it now."

"You can't do this yourself?"

"The demon sword suppressed my body. I can only appear in this half-human form. My goal is to see the light of day again one day and save the island nation from danger."

Shen Gong bent down and bowed deeply to Cao Yang. But a scarlet eye suddenly tore through his flesh and grew out of his body, scanning the world restlessly.

"Ghost eyes?!"

Cao Yang's eyes suddenly condensed. This ghost eye was very similar to Yang Jian's ghost eye in terms of shape and color. It was hard not to be suspicious...

"Hundred-Eyed Demon, Demon Sword... Considering the terrifying level of the Demon Eye Master, he shouldn't be imprisoned in this island country. Moreover, this person also said that he has been entangled with this demon for decades, and the time does not match."

"What good can I get from pulling out the demon sword?"

Cao Yang asked.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a few ghost eyes grew on Shen Gong's forehead, looking particularly creepy.

"The demon sword is yours, and you can choose any other conditions as long as they are within my ability."

Just as Jingong finished speaking, seven or eight ghost eyes stretched out the skin on his face, and the eyeballs of the ghost eyes rolled around, looking at this strange world.

"Senior Jingu?!"

Qianye's face suddenly changed. In his opinion, this was a sign that the evil spirit was about to revive. But what frightened him the most was that the kowtow ghost in his body was instinctively retreating, as if it was afraid of encountering a natural enemy.

"You are a half-human, half-ghost thing that has been entangled with evil spirits for decades. Even if you are an alien, your humanity should have been eroded away long ago."
