"Police?"
The evil spirit said in confusion.
When did the police start getting involved in ghost stories?
Aren't they afraid of dying?
Even if it's not a Pillar coming to find me, it should at least be a Demon Slayer!
The demon frowned; she felt as if she were being looked down upon.
Oh well, what Lord Muzan told me to be careful beforehand!
Let this child find another place to eat after they finish!
"Yes, it seems one of the villagers called the police while they were out!" The village chief nodded meekly from the side.
"Alright, I got it!" The demon waved his hand dismissively at them, his gesture clearly showing his impatience, signaling them to leave quickly.
"This..."
Upon seeing this, the village chief hesitated slightly.
He had originally planned to wait until the ghost finished eating before going back together, since he didn't know where the two policemen were if they went past, but now...
"What? Is there anything else?" the demon spoke again, its words brimming with malice that seemed to seep out so tangibly that the surrounding air felt colder.
Upon hearing this, the village chief dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately began to bow and scrape, his posture so humble that he was practically groveling.
"No, that's all! Well... remember to come over after you finish eating! I'll be waiting for you at the village entrance!"
"Fine, I know!" the evil spirit replied impatiently, its eyes already showing its annoyance towards the village chief and the others.
The village chief stood there, glancing nervously at the evil spirit again, before reluctantly turning around and slowly leading the remaining two back.
However, he had only taken two steps when he stopped as if frozen in place.
The village chief stared in astonishment at the figure slowly making its way up the winding mountain path, his voice rising involuntarily.
Why are you here?
"Of course I came with you!"
Teiichi looked up and gave the village chief and the others a bright smile, then looked at the evil spirit behind them.
It looks pretty much the same as what I saw at the shrine before.
It had two prominent horns on its forehead, and two bent branches stuck in its messy hair, making it look particularly strange.
However, her face was not as ferocious and terrifying as that of a typical low-level male demon; instead, she possessed a certain beauty.
"Big brother!"
When Delia saw Teiichi arrive, her eyes instantly filled with tears, her little mouth twitched, and she burst into tears.
With a single step, she was about to rush towards Teiichi, but the quick-reacting village chief grabbed her tightly.
The village chief, while tightly holding Delia, pointed a finger at Teiichi and shouted loudly at the evil spirit:
"My Goddess, it's him! He's the policeman! There's another policeman in the village!"
Upon hearing this, the Wood Demon frowned again, a hint of displeasure flashing in its already cold eyes as it looked down at the figure that was still climbing up.
She originally didn't want to get involved in this matter; she just wanted to quietly enjoy the offerings and then leave.
However, since this policeman is so reckless and lacks common sense, we might as well just get rid of him.
After thinking it over, the Wood Demon slowly stretched out his hand and gently waved it.
In an instant, several thick vines grew and extended rapidly from behind it like serpents.
Then, these vines shot towards Ding Yi like arrows released from Teiichi bow, their passage creating a hissing sound.
Teiichi slightly raised his eyes, quietly watching the vines shooting towards him, and gently placed his right hand on the Nichirin Blade at his waist.
Accompanied by a gentle application of force with Teiichi wrist.
The next moment.
exhausted--!
The sound of swords echoed long and deep!
A bright silver light flashed past Teiichi.
The next moment, all the menacing vines were severed, the cuts clean and smooth, as if they had been cut by the sharpest blade.
The remaining vines, losing their support, collapsed limply to the ground like lifeless snakes, raising a cloud of dust.
Upon seeing this scene, the village chief gaped, his eyes wide, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.
He only realized what was happening after the policeman took a step forward with the knife, then turned and shouted:
"My Goddess! Quick, quick, give me this..."
However, his words were cut short.
What came into the village chief's view was a figure fleeing desperately into the depths of the forest!
Is the goddess... on the run?
A sudden realization flashed through the village chief's mind.
His mouth opened and closed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The next moment, the village chief suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep past him, so strong that he almost lost his balance.
soon.
The dazzling glint of blades flashed once more in the forest.
The head of the goddess, which had been worshipped in Kuroishi Village for two years, had flown high into the air!!
exhausted--!
With a long, drawn-out sword cry, the Nichirin Blade slowly returned to its sheath.
Ignoring the evil spirit that was turning to ashes and dissipating, Teiichi slowly turned around and came to the village chief and the others.
Even now, the village chief and the people around him still had their mouths agape, their faces filled with shock and disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that the breathtaking scene they had just witnessed had actually happened.
Teiichi looked at the crowd before him and slowly began to speak:
"Now, can we let the Delia bloom freely?"
His voice was calm yet firm, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be slightly awakened from an extremely terrifying nightmare, their eyes still filled with fear and shock.
The village chief opened his mouth, about to say something, when suddenly a man from behind, like an enraged bull, charged forward, his face flushed.
"Damn it! You actually killed the goddess! Die!"
" Shinichi!" the village chief called out anxiously.
He wanted to stop Shinichi, but even that demon who easily killed more than ten people was no match for the policeman in front of him, so what could Shinichi possibly do?
However, Shinichi was blinded by anger and wouldn't listen to any advice.
He swung his fist and charged towards Teiichi.
Teiichi slightly turned his body, easily dodging the fist, and then smoothly tripped and accurately hooked Shinichi's ankle.
Shinichi lost his balance and fell forward, landing heavily on the ground with a "thud".
Teiichi then gently lifted his right foot and firmly placed it on Shinichi's back. The force was not great, but it was enough to prevent Shinichi from getting up.
Finally, Teiichi slightly raised his eyes, his gaze coldly fixed on the village chief and the remaining villager.
"Can you let Delia go now?"
His calm words carried an indescribable sense of immense pressure.
