The words fell.
Following the guidance written on the paper from Glasses, Huahua went to search for those ghosts and monsters.
On the other side.
Some distance from the suburbs of Tokyo, in a sewer.
At this moment.
In this dark sewer, where rats occasionally scurried past, a figure sat on a thick water pipe, cursing aloud:
"Damn Onmyoji, they've been investigating so strictly lately, I can't even go out. Onmyoji, you just wait."
It was a yokai, extremely powerful. Not long ago, it had taken advantage of a supernatural event, stirred up trouble, and ascended to the rank of Ghost King. However, after its promotion, it had been targeted by the Onmyoji. As soon as it appeared, it would be hunted down shortly after.
Hm?
Just as the Ghost King yokai was about to continue its curses, it seemed to sense something and its words abruptly stopped. It looked in a certain direction:
"Who's there! Damn it, are the Onmyoji crazy, they've tracked me all the way here... Hm? A cat yokai?"
The Ghost King yokai froze.
As it focused its gaze.
A petite and chubby figure walked in from the sewer entrance. It was an orange cat, plump and round. In this foul-smelling sewer, its adorable figure was particularly striking. It ignored the Ghost King yokai, disdainfully flicking its paw, hating the filth and mess.
It stopped not far from the Ghost King yokai and said:
"Meow~ Searched for so long, and you were hiding in the sewer. But it's good that I found you."
With its words.
The cat, in its soul form, didn't hesitate. It unleashed its full power and attacked the Ghost King yokai.
"Ghost King level?!"
The Ghost King yokai was startled, not expecting the seemingly harmless cat before it to have reached Ghost King level. But before it could question this, Huahua had already charged forward.
Instantly.
The two engaged in battle.
However, the battle was as quick as it was fierce. Without Glasses by its side, Huahua unleashed its full power, borrowing the system points from Zhang Wei, doubling its strength. Moreover, with the protective magical artifact given by Zhang Wei, the Ghost King yokai was subdued in no time.
"Don't kill me, Great Ghost King, I have no enmity with you, please don't kill me."
The Ghost King yokai, pinned down by Huahua's paw, had lost all its former arrogance. Spitting blood, it begged for mercy.
As its words came out.
Huahua produced a mobile phone from somewhere. After real-time translation of the Ghost King yokai's words, Huahua quickly typed on it. The phone's voice immediately followed:
"Meow~ Alright, I won't kill you."
"Ah! No, don't kill... me, Huh?????"
The Ghost King yokai showed fear upon hearing this, but the next second it froze, thinking it was hallucinating:
"Great Ghost King, you're not going to kill me?"
Huahua's plump cat face showed a smile, and it nodded in acknowledgment.
At that moment.
The Ghost King yokai was stunned... What was going on? This Ghost King was so easy to talk to?
But there was no time to ponder.
Huahua's phone transmitted again:
"Whether I kill you or not, you have to answer one question for me and help me with one thing."
As the voice sounded.
The Ghost King yokai's pupils constricted. Before it could resist, Huahua swiped its paw at its forehead. Instantly, it felt a tearing pain and looked at Huahua in terror... I knew it, how could it be so reasonable? You're playing dirty, actually cursing me.
Huahua ignored the Ghost King yokai's gaze and continued to translate using its phone:
"I've placed a curse on you. With just a thought from me, you'll die. So I advise you not to play any tricks. Tell me, who is the biggest yokai force in Sakura Country? Meow~"
"?????"
Although it didn't know what was happening, the Ghost King yokai still answered Huahua's question truthfully.
Soon.
Huahua received the answer and nodded with satisfaction.
Just then.
"Great Ghost King, I've answered, can you lift the curse now?"
"Meow~ Not yet. You still need to help me with something."
"What is it? Great Ghost King, you're not going to ask me to help you deal with Shuten Doji's forces, are you? I can't deal with them, I'm just a newly promoted..."
"Meow~ I'm not asking you to deal with them. What I need you to do is something you can handle, it's very simple."
Huahua spoke.
The Ghost King yokai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"What do you need me to do, Great Ghost King?"
"By evening tonight, wait for me near the shrine. Remember not to be discovered. Oh, and if you can call more ghosts, bring more."
"?????"
...
A moment later.
Huahua emerged from the sewer, a satisfied smile on its face. It didn't rest, picking up the paper from Glasses and following the guidance to the next ghost's location.
Thus.
Just like dealing with the Ghost King yokai, although most of the yokai it encountered were not as strong as the Ghost King yokai, Huahua would question each one it met about the biggest yokai force in Sakura Country, ensuring the information it had was correct, and then instruct them to go to the shrine, bringing other yokai along if possible.
It busied itself until evening.
Huahua finally stopped searching for ghosts and checked the time. It was now 6 PM.
"Time to go to the appointment, meow~"
Saying this.
Huahua went as promised to the place where it had met the bullied individual the previous night.
"Kamisama, you're here."
The bullied individual, upon seeing Huahua arrive, eagerly stepped forward.
In response.
Huahua paid no mind and asked the bullied individual to lead it to the shrine.
"Yes, Kamisama, I'll take you right away. There's a subway ahead, we'll take the subway. By the way... Kamisama, can I ask a question? What are you going to the shrine for? Are you going there to take office..."
The bullied individual asked cautiously, but before they could finish, Huahua's voice came.
"Exorcism."
"Ah? Exorcism???"
"Yes, exorcism. The shrine is a gathering place for evil. The resentment of those enshrined before their deaths is too deep, giving rise to many ghosts. I was asked to help eliminate them."
"Hiss! So that's how it is."
"Of course, you might not be able to see the ghosts. If you don't believe me, you can take out your phone and look. Phone cameras can allow ordinary people to see things invisible to the naked eye."
...
After a while.
Led by the bullied individual, Huahua arrived at the shrine.
Looking at the hall enshrining war criminals before it, Huahua's cat pupils flickered. However, it didn't act. Using the curses it learned from Glasses, it followed its senses and found the Ghost King yokai gathered by the shrine.
It could be seen.
At this moment.
In the bushes beside the shrine, hundreds of ghosts and yokai were gathered, with varying strengths. The strong ones reached Ghost King level, and the weak ones were at the level of Red-robed Vengeful Spirits.
"Great Ghost King, you gathered us all here, we've all arrived. What do you need us to do?"
The Ghost King yokai asked.
Huahua heard this, raised its small cat paw, signaling it to stay quiet, and then picked up its phone to send a message to Glasses.
[Huahua]: Damn it, come help me, I've been targeted by the local yokai forces here, I'm surrounded, quickly! Come save me, I might not last!
Then.
Huahua looked up and said with a smile:
"Come and kill me."
As the words fell.
At Huahua's command, the curses planted within the Ghost King yokai were all triggered.
Instantly.
Including the Ghost King yokai, over a dozen ghosts screamed, their bodies exploding on their own. Huahua then raised its cat fist and punched itself in the face several times, spitting blood, and shouted to the surrounding ghosts:
"Meow~ Quickly! I'm heavily injured, come and kill me, if you don't kill me, I'll kill all of you!"
With these words.
Huahua unleashed its full power and charged into the group of yokai.
...
