"You can leave now!"

"On your first night with your boyfriend after you go back, you will have a child, but you must not be tainted by anything impure for a month, or all your efforts will be in vain!"

"Think carefully before using your half-baked exorcism skills."

Wu Heng waved his hand impatiently, signaling her to leave quickly.

This woman has already signed his blood oath, and he has her name on his register. Wherever she goes, she is under his surveillance, so he is not afraid that she will cause any trouble.

As for the child, Wu Heng was obviously lying to her. He was just putting a shackle on her to keep her in line. He wasn't a goddess who grants children; he didn't have that kind of guaranteed ability.

After Makoto left, Wu Heng sensed the locations of Kana and Orisa and found that they were still at home.

Just as I was about to stop sensing,

A thought struck him, and he tried using the ability he had just acquired.

Through the link with Kana, I tried to sense her condition.

It actually sensed it remotely!

The sensory abilities that could only be used through contact were somehow made to ignore distance through the curse-like connection of ' Name Inquiry '.

"Blood is flowing!"

A thought was transmitted.

After sensing a faint image of the 'mountain' where the Bogiwan resided, he quickly disconnected.

While at home helping her daughter Orisa and paint, Kana suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, as if something ominous was about to happen. She looked around but found nothing.

The talisman paper bearing the inscription "Fufeng Dashe Shouyi" placed next to the Shrine trembled slightly.

The flowerpots outside the window were crawling with green caterpillars.

"It's It Comes!"

While drawing omelet Orisa, Zhisha suddenly looked up at the wooden cabinet and said happily.

These words filled Kana with fear.

Perhaps because Orisa was in a good mood, she tried to persuade the Bogiwan Bogiwan simply circled around and then disappeared again.

The deathly silence in the room vanished, and warmth returned.

But as Kana looked at her daughter, a sense of estrangement deepened in her eyes. This strange daughter frightened her.

Wu Heng recalled the illusory place he had just been in, which seemed to be a different space located at the foot of a large mountain.

Countless phantom images of children frolic and play inside, appearing innocent and carefree.

But if you look into the eyes of those children, you'll find that their eyes are full of coldness and resentment, and the playground where they play is also built from skeletons.

The ball being kicked back and forth is a dried-up woman's head.

That head most likely belongs to the mother of one of the children in the football team.

The mountain is a place that guides and brings out the innocence and naivety of children to their fullest potential.

Those children didn't know the difference between life and death, had no concept of good and evil, and all their actions stemmed from their curiosity and playfulness.

Even the most wicked person has a moral compass and understands the definition of good and evil.

But only children, when they smash snails into mincemeat, strangle chicks, and drown puppies, always have excited smiles on their faces.

Because they do not know what evil is!

It is unclear whether their actions signify suffering or represent the stagnation of life.

In this respect, only one group of people can somewhat rival them: the followers of evil gods.

Those believers, after being brainwashed, will regard evil as good and give alms to others, but they are still not as good as infants who have neither good nor evil.

Children who don't understand things are the most terrifying creatures if they possess great power.

Because it's all about doing whatever you want, and crucially, this mind is extremely ignorant.

The same applies to Orisa.

Of course, this doesn't mean she's inherently cruel; it's just instinct.

Most children, guided by their parents, grow up to be mentally mature and forget the behaviors and personality traits they developed in their childhood.

This is also the brain's way of protecting humanity.

If an adult remains like a child, unaware of the difference between good and evil, that person is undoubtedly the most dangerous person in the world.

Fortunately, Wu Heng cut off the connection in time; otherwise, the Bogiwan might have killed Kana directly, causing the delaying plan to fail.

Wu Heng was extremely satisfied with this skill combination.

The sensing function was originally a rather useless feature; calling it sensing was more like probing and mocking.

Just like anyone who would be enraged if a stranger suddenly snatched their phone, looked through their browser history, and checked their photo album.

However, with the help of ' Name Inquiry ', it means that Wu Heng can find puppets or scapegoats to go to the supernatural scene.

Then, through the puppets he controls, he can sense the strength of evil spirits and strategize from afar to prevent their invasion.

In an instant, Wu Heng's mind had already come up It Comes dozens of tactics that could be used in conjunction with this ability.

For example, if you place someone tainted by Bogiwan in a fixed location, and then remotely sense their body, the Bogiwan will be attracted to that person's location and erupt.

That person might die, but Wu Heng will be fine.

This can be used to counter other evil spirits, or to lure out snakes from their holes, among other plans.

The combination of these two not-so-strong abilities produced a surprisingly practical effect, somewhat beyond Wu Heng's expectations.

Over the next two days, Wu Heng eliminated many weak floating spirits, provided that the Bogiwan did not riot.

They also visited various spiritual medium sites in the area, including Shinto, Buddhist, and Shugendo.

Shintoism worships evil spirits and monsters; anything that doesn't cause widespread killing falls within their sphere of worship.

Buddhism, on the other hand, is a unique form of Buddhism that has been developed by integrating elements of Esoteric Buddhism, Chan Buddhism, and the Bodhisattva precepts, based on the Tendai Sect in China.

When Wu Heng arrived at the temple, the monks were holding a "marriage matchmaking event for young monks," where they could get married and have children.

The position of abbot in a temple is still hereditary.

Moreover, the monks were in high demand; the 12 young monks attracted more than 40 eligible women to apply.

All of this broadened Wu Heng's horizons.

In island nations where land is scarce, these monks' temples are extremely luxurious and spacious, often covering an area of several thousand square meters.

After Wu Heng revealed his identity as a spiritual medium from the association, he was treated like a VIP.

He also learned some Buddhist rules; not all monks can marry. Monks who practice exorcism are actually not allowed to marry, but they can have relations with women at will.

However, rules are just rules. If a marriage is truly to be formed, in this place rife with evil, no one would dare to oppose a monk who practices exorcism.

What surprised Wu Heng the most was Shugendo.

This sect fully exploited the island nation's tendency to steal and assimilate.

It blends various theories from Tantric Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Shintoism, mountain worship, Daoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, martial arts, yoga, and shamanism into a hodgepodge, creating a "Frankenstein's monster".

One good thing about it is that it sews up everything that can be sewn up.

The downside is that the sewn items are mostly useless, dubious, and their exorcism abilities are among the worst.

Their method of practicing exorcism is through chanting scriptures.

Reciting scriptures all night long, reciting scriptures under a waterfall, reciting scriptures amidst smoke, reciting scriptures by a fire, reciting scriptures in the snow.

Basically, it involves reciting scriptures in various environments.

Those within Shugendo who possess exorcism abilities call themselves 'Yamabushi', and they all enjoy climbing mountains.

After a friendly visit, Wu Heng, to express his goodwill, pointed out the mountain where the Bogiwan was located.

I told them.

It was a sacred mountain imbued with spiritual energy, where he had once witnessed the Buddha's light shining forth from within the mountain.

This is exciting news for Shugendo, who claims to have received Shugendo from Vajra Treasury King Bodhisattva.

Mountains and Buddhism—that's what they love to pursue most.
