Give Two-dimensional a little Hong Kong comic shock

Chapter 4 The Shrine
"What's wrong?!"

Soon, a mother-in-law ran out in panic. Seeing the strange movement in the shrine, Link, who was tall and standing under the torii, suddenly fell to the ground.

Just as Link was about to step forward to help him, he saw the mother-in-law take out a handful of salt from her pocket and throw it over. She threw it back and shouted:
"The demons are gone!"

"The demons are gone!"

Link speechlessly used his arms to block the salt thrown at his face, but the salt was still scattered all over his hair and collar. He couldn't help shouting: "Old woman, what are you doing!"

The sun moved up, and the sunlight was cut into pieces through the branches of the wisteria tree. It was scattered on his body like spots. His bulging muscles stretched his clothes tightly, and the broken hair around his ears hung down casually, like a dream. The sunlight gave his face a sense of divine sanctity.

"K-Kami-san [Lord God]..." Mother-in-law said, stumbling and staring at Link.

"What are you talking about, mother-in-law." Link broke the atmosphere of this god's arrival. He really didn't understand the other person's brain circuit.

But it is obvious that this old lady in priest's uniform should not be able to exorcise evil spirits.

The mother-in-law coughed and slowly got up. Only then did she notice that the rope and the bell were no longer shaking. For a moment, she wondered if it was a coincidence. Then she saw Link with grains of salt all over his head and body, and said awkwardly : "This, this guest please come in."

Link shook his clothes and squeezed out the salt grains stuck in his neck. Shaking his hair, he followed his mother-in-law from the side past the main hall that was forbidden to humans and came to the inside of the middle hall. As he walked past, he could see vaguely Arriving at the gods enshrined in this temple——

A young man wearing a red robe, squatting on the ground, with dog ears.

"Strange, are there such gods in Japan?" This thought flashed through Link's head and was forgotten. Japan claims to have 800 million gods. It is normal to encounter gods you don't know.

In the past three days, he has also visited seven or eight nearby shrines and temples. Basically, they have nothing to offer. The so-called exorcism and spirit removal are no different from what he used to do before. They are all based on deception, and their comforting nature is far greater than the actual meaning.

The small shrine in front of us has the vision just now, which is the closest to the supernatural. Unfortunately, the priest in front of us has no magic power at all.

After the mother-in-law priest asked Link to sit down, he went to the back and came back with a teapot and cup, and gave him a live performance of what a Japanese tea ceremony is. It looked good, but the thing he made was just like that.

Link didn't understand tea anyway, so he drank the tea in one gulp like a cow chewing peonies. Then, under the distressed eyes of his mother-in-law, he said bluntly: "Mother-in-law, do you know how to exorcise evil spirits?"

"Ah?" The mother-in-law looked very old and her hair was white. She was stunned when she heard this. She scratched her hair and said: "If you don't believe that I can exorcise evil spirits, why did you come here?" If you encounter any incident or have any troubles, you can talk to me about it."

Link nodded and didn't ask any questions. He embellished his experience of encountering two monsters and told the whole story. He deleted the fact that he was killed once and the process of destroying the client's body, and focused on describing the three-eyed crow's integration into the body. And the changes in his body after killing that weird tree root.

"Huh?!" After hearing this, the mother-in-law took a look at Link's teeth and fingers and was shocked. She stood up and left the middle hall in a hurry, and came back shortly with a book in her arms. "It is indeed a monster!" She firmly flipped the yellowed thick book to the middle, pointed to the picture on it, and asked, "Sir, is this the monster you encountered?"

The picture above is that of the familiar three-eyed crow.

After seeing Link nod, the mother-in-law said according to the script: "The book said that this monster is called Corpse Dance Crow, a bird monster from the Warring States Period, with jet black feathers and three red eyes. Because it has the power to control corpses in battle, it is called the Corpse Dancer. In addition, its appearance and cry resemble a crow, so it is also called the Corpse Dancer. Its character is insidious and cunning. It is an evil and dangerous monster that likes to eat people. He is very good at using dead bodies as hosts to disguise himself..."

After the mother-in-law finished reading, she said with some distress: "That's what the book says, but I don't think I can help you." She paused and said frankly: "My ancestor was a demon slayer during the Warring States Period, but At that time, monsters had disappeared, so the shrine was opened. As for taking out the power of monsters in your body..."

"Forgive me for being helpless." She shook her head and pushed the book over. "If this book can help you, please accept it."

"Mother-in-law, don't you have any ancestral methods for eliminating monsters?" Link took the book and flipped through it. As expected, there were all kinds of monsters drawn in it. There were more than 100 pages, but there were no records. How to get rid of demons.

The mother-in-law shook her head and said nothing more.

Link sat in the nave and flipped through the handwritten book for a while, and found the page recording the tree root. However, he still had no idea how to get out the power that slowly turned him into a monster. After donating some money, he said goodbye to his mother-in-law and left.

He planned to go to a few more shrines and temples and stop bothering. He might as well get some exercise. Compared to the monster transformation that currently has no side effects, the battle with Huiguang Memory that will soon come is more threatening. , he needs to set aside time to prepare.

[Flying root is shaped like a plant root. It is very small. It is only about the size of a human face when fully stretched. It can directly invade the brain and control the host body through the eyes. Organisms parasitized by flying root will have roots appearing next to their eyes. The lines and actions are completely controlled by Feitougen. Feitougen itself is very aggressive and will control its host to attack everywhere in order to find a more powerful host. It will run away decisively when its life is threatened. It is a very cunning parasitic monster. . 】
-
Afternoon, Inumaki Shrine.

The mother-in-law, who had eaten and drank enough, leaned against the wall of the main hall, recalling the rude boy she had seen in the morning, and slowly laughed,

"Kami-san [Lord God]..."

"Ta" A red-haired man in a white robe fell aside at some point and asked in a daze: "Why don't you try something?"

"Hee" the mother-in-law turned her head and looked over with a smile, "How can believers change gods?"

"Hmph." The red-haired man snorted, his two fox ears twitching slightly, and said, "How will you know that you can't change if you don't try?"

"Hey, hey, hey, this doesn't look like you." The mother-in-law put her fingers on her lips and asked softly, with a mean look on her face:
"Anada [husband]."

In the breeze, the red-haired man disappeared again.
