Chapter 337

With a crackling sound, a bolt of lightning shot out from the shield and struck Tang Kannonji.

"Ahhh~" "Ohhh~" His screams quickly changed, transforming from a human voice into a piercing and eerie shriek. Then, a strange black object emerged from Tang's body.

"As expected!" Li Pu drew his Holy Sword and rushed forward to stab the black thing.

When the sword pierced the black object, the piercing shriek became even sharper, and a black, mist-like substance, along with the wind that formed the Barrier of the Wind King attached to the Holy Sword, shot out.

Within seconds, the black object deflated like a punctured balloon and quickly disappeared.

Tang Kannonji collapsed to the ground.

"Um..." The situation changed abruptly in just a few seconds, leaving Ichigo dumbfounded. "What was that just now? A Hollow?"

It seems so, but it doesn't seem so either. At least in Ichigo's experience, he had never seen a Hollow with such a strange appearance.

"It's the phantom of a bound spirit," Lucia explained. "It looks like it has already transformed into a Hollow. The one from before was probably one of the Hollow's abilities, or it was also controlled by a Hollow. It was an evil spirit that was bound here and was about to transform into a Hollow."

Lucia took out her cell phone, or rather, a fake detection radar disguised as a cell phone.

Still nothing. Lucia frowned.

They still haven't detected anything by now; this Hollow seems really troublesome. Do we really have to ask these two Goddess to complete the Shinigami's mission?

"Vivian!" Ying Yi asked anxiously in the channel, "What just happened? This hospital looks... looks a bit off."

"Ah! Something shocking has suddenly happened!" the host exclaimed, seizing the opportunity. "What exactly happened? We couldn't see anything clearly. Could it be that Mr. Tang's guess..."

"Shut up!" Li Pu roared, unable to stand the host any longer. "This guy has just been possessed by a vengeful spirit!"

"I knew he was new here, how could he know so much about the situation here?"

It wasn't just that he understood; this guy's targeting and focus were far too strong. No matter what she said, he seemed to completely ignore the even more bizarre scene behind him, focusing all his attention on her and Belldandy.

Sure enough, there was a problem.

'Mind Shock~' Li Pu instantly unleashed her mind shock, and a 3D map of a hospital quickly appeared in her mind. The terrain constructed by the mind shock seemed to make everything clear.

But this seemingly all-encompassing mind radar is missing one crucial element.

Enemy!

The radar showed everything except the enemy.

He found everything except the enemy; it seemed as if it didn't exist at all, completely absent from Li Pu's radar. But the battle just now told Li Pu that the enemy was right there.

But why didn't they appear? Did they spend so much time outsmarting thin air?

Is this a congratulatory message from Ainz Ooal Gown?

"MEI!" Kevin suddenly spoke up at that moment, "Don't rush, Honkai is a very cunning thing. It doesn't always exist in the form we see most often; it may exist in other ways as well."

"Don't be impatient. Your judgment should be correct. Trust yourself. I believe in you too! Don't rush, you will definitely find him."

Kevin's words seemed to offer Li Pu some comfort. After all, at least Kevin's judgment on some matters wasn't wrong. And he chose to trust himself; glancing at Belldandy, she too chose to trust him.

This is why trust and respect are fighting power!

If Li Pu had just been reciting a sentence he had seen on television verbatim to Belldandy, now he truly felt how simple yet real those words spoken by the Republic's predecessors were.

Respect and trust are the keys to fighting power!

'No, the enemy must be here!' Li Pu closed his eyes and focused all his energy on the map. That Hollow, no, it should be said, the Honkai Beast is here; it's just hiding.

But where could he be hiding?

'Mind Shock!' Li Pu unleashed another Mind Shock, but the map he obtained was exactly the same as before. He found everything except the Honkai.

'Honkai is cunning; it can exist in any form.'

Li Pu pondered Kevin's words repeatedly: Honkai could exist in any form. Yes, it was indeed possible; the most obvious example was the Herrscher of Corruption, Hi-Fyūmaru, from the previous era!

It's safe to say that Hi-Fyūmaru is undoubtedly a prime example of 'Honkai can exist in any form.'

The essence of the Herrscher of Corruption is a virus with extremely strong corrosive capabilities; humans, beasts, and even machines cannot escape its erosion. The manifestation of the Herrscher of Corruption is Hi-Fyūmaru.

The Honkai of this world is not quite the same as the Honkai of that world, but it is certain that they will appear in some unexpected way.

So...

This Honkai Beast must be here, but it must exist in some way that it couldn't have imagined.

In what form does it exist?

Just now, Ying Yi seemed to keep saying that there were unusual things happening at the hospital.

Hospital...

Could it be?!

Chapter 392 Honkai is truly ingenious

"I... Ni...O...of..."

Li Pu opened his eyes and looked at the hospital in front of him, saying, "Could it be... this hospital itself?"

This...

What kind of nonsense is this? Buildings can turn into Honkai Beast?

This operation...

Li Pu had never seen anything like it before! It was extremely rare.

"Is this really possible?" Li Pu looked at the hospital in front of him, and at this point he was just guessing. He guessed that the hospital might have been infected by the Honkai and turned into a Honkai Beast that looked like a hospital.

Hmm... is that even possible? It seems that in that world, the Honkai can infect machines and electronic AI.

Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for a building to be infected by the Honkai... it's perfectly reasonable...

What the hell!

This is simply incomprehensible! How did this thing get infected by the Honkai? If the Honkai Energy infect this kind of building and launch an attack, then in the original world, with this level of infection, that world would have already become Herrscher and Honkai Beast.

Not a single living person can be found.

So...

This isn't scientific! It's not about Honkai! It's not True Magic!

"Perhaps Vivian's guess is not wrong." Belldandy said, standing next to Li Pu. "All things have a spirit. I can hear the resentment of this building being abandoned. Moreover, too many bound souls have gathered in this building and have become one with it, so Vivian, your guess should be correct."

"Ha..." Li Pu was speechless.

This...

Is this really all nonsense?

The seemingly outrageous guess actually came true! That's really outrageous!

"Ah~~~~ My head hurts a bit." At this moment, Tang Kannonji, who had fallen and seemed to have fainted, rubbed his head and got up from the ground, saying, "What happened here?"

"Spiritual medium! Mr. Tang!" The host seemed to regain his sense of place when he saw Tang wake up, and said, "Could it be that the master was really possessed just now?"

"It seems she has no memory of what just happened."

"Possession?" Kannonji seemed to be stunned for a moment, but his years of acting experience allowed him to recover quickly. His motto since his debut has been that he must never lose face in front of the audience.

"Ah! Even a medium as strong as me makes mistakes sometimes." He stood up and said without any embarrassment, "But it doesn't matter at all now. I am fully prepared! Those vengeful spirits wandering here, now is the time for me! Tang Kannonji, the messenger of hell, to strike back."

"Hahaha~" he burst into laughter.

Li Pu really didn't want to deal with this guy; he just wanted him to get lost.

But...

Li Pu still didn't say it aloud. How should she put it? What if this guy is still somewhat useful? She meant that if he was still somewhat useful, they could observe him for a while.

'These people...' Kannonji seemed to have become a little cautious, observing Li Pu, Belldandy, and Kevin. Although the memories of being possessed were basically blank, it couldn't be said that there was nothing at all.

His physical sensations and the last vestiges of his memory told him that the group of two men and one woman in front of him was definitely not someone he could handle.

However, with two men and one woman around, he absolutely doesn't need to worry about any unexpected accidents.

"It looks like the situation is already quite critical," Kannonji said, looking at his hospital building, which was meant to serve a purpose. "We must take this seriously."

"Oh~ Is Mr. Tang finally getting serious?" the host said. "This is a serious expression we've never seen on any of his previous shows!"

"Those two white o'clock!" Kevin really couldn't stand the pretentious Kannonji, and he also looked down on the host who was trying so hard to set the pace. They hadn't done anything, yet it felt like they were the ones doing all the important work.

This is really annoying!

"Don't be in such a hurry," Li Pu said with a wicked grin. "Let's see what this guy does."

This was the first time Li Pu had encountered this Honkai, and he wasn't in a hurry to act against an enemy he didn't fully understand. Li Pu, even now that he knew this building might be the opponent he was facing, he couldn't find any breakthrough.

Let's send this Kannonji first; he seems to have a lot of luck and won't die anyway.

Of course, if his good luck has run out by now, Li Pu would still be happy to give him a proper send-off.

As Li Pu said, Kevin calmed down and watched coldly from the sidelines to see what Kannonji could do.

"It looks like we've reached a stalemate." Kannonji kept an eye on Li Pu and the others out of the corner of his eye. As a professional actor and an amateur spiritual medium, he also had his own killer instincts.

He keenly sensed that the group was stuck in a stalemate and was looking to break it himself.

Since that's the case, I'll break the deadlock myself.

With these people around, there's nothing to be afraid of!

"Tang Dynasty Kannonji! The Profound Truth!"

"Kannonji Ball!"

Lightning flashed from Kannonji's hand as he concentrated all his power into his right hand. Even an ordinary person could see the changes in his arm at that moment.

"Oh! It's here! It's here!" the host exclaimed excitedly. "Mr. Tang's signature move! The Kannonji Flick!"

As the host got excited, a small ball of light, only slightly larger than a quail egg, appeared in Kannonji's hand and floated towards the hospital at a speed slightly faster than a balloon.

Under the watchful eyes of the Goddess Group, the Death Group, and a small number of spectators, it floated onto the outer wall of the hospital.

Thud! A crater the size of a bowl was blasted into the outer wall of the hospital.

"Hmm..." Kevin said, both amused and exasperated, "That... the legendary medium, is this... all the fighting power you have?"

"That's it? That's it? Is that all?"

Kannonji didn't say anything and didn't seem too embarrassed. Well, he's always been the kind of person who, if he's not embarrassed, no one else will be.

"Wait a minute~" Li Pu said to Kevin, "It seems that this Tang Kannonji is still somewhat useful. This guy really lured the enemy out."

The next second, another scream rang out from the hospital. Countless chains smashed through the hospital windows and flew out, each one like a tentacle waving in the air. Then, a cloud of purple smoke emerged from the broken window.

The entire hospital seemed to come alive, becoming even more restless and agitated.

The evil spirit that Li Pu had previously killed surged out again like a tide with the smoke.

This Tang Kannonji has really stirred up a hornet's nest!

Chapter 393 Capturing the Honkai

Tang Kannonji stirred up a hornet's nest, and then...

"Mr. Tang has suddenly left!" the host exclaimed excitedly. "Did something happen? Or...?"

'That guy from Shakou runs really fast.' Li Pu said with disdain.

"I think I know what kind of person this guy is," Li Pu said. "Satan."

"What?" Kevin asked curiously, not understanding.

"No, it's nothing." Li Pu shook his head and said, "It's just a little bit of sentimentality. Let's hurry up. Now that this guy has really hit the Honkai Beast's sore spot and lured it out, it's our turn to do the rest."

Anyway, Li Pu of Kannonji had probably seen through him; this guy was just a Satanic figure. He always managed to appear at the most crucial moment to reap the rewards of victory with his invincible luck. You could say he always got the victory he wanted, and even when he was unlucky, he wasn't too unlucky.

Anyway, he has his own way of justifying himself when faced with reality.

The building seemed to come alive, with flying evil spirits and chains that made people's hearts pound.

"Yoshi~" Kevin pulled out his dual pistols and said, "Although I'm not quite good enough, I'd still be happy to have a battle where I crush the weak."

As Kiana's ancestor and the original user of Gun Fu, Kevin fired with his arms crossed, each bullet hitting either an evil spirit or a chain.
