"This is …"
Everyone was stunned as they watched the originally luxuriously decorated modern living room transform into an ancient building.
Spiritual Ability users at their level were neither too strong nor too weak. They weren't as slow as ordinary people, but they weren't as strong as high-level Spiritual Ability users either. In web novels, this would be the type where you wouldn't even be able to tell if there was a problem or not. All you had to do was chant some sort of incantation.
"Telepathy?"
"No, it's more like PLK!"
"To be able to create an illusion of such a level, it's unbelievable!"
Everyone kept saying all sorts of terms, not knowing how to react. Fortunately, they were all professionals. Seeing how serious Hayashi and Hidaka Crimson were, they knew that this was all their doing, so they all shut up.
Mai Taniyama, who was standing nearby, was completely flabbergasted. She used to be just an ordinary high school student. Apart from her love of telling ghost stories to her classmates, she had never come into contact with any supernatural incidents. Although she joined the research institute, the first supernatural incident she experienced wasn't actually caused by any spirits. It was simply a problem with the building itself due to the underground water sinking.
And this time, she finally personally witnessed a true Spiritual Ability user's method of dealing with a problem.
Although everyone was staring at her, Hidaka Crimson wasn't too nervous. She had been constantly connecting with her own ability under Hayashi's guidance, and had a certain level of understanding and knowledge of her [Backtrack] ability. Although the current Hidaka Crimson wasn't a qualified Spiritual Ability user yet, she was already quite good according to the requirements of an ordinary Spiritual Ability user.
Of course, she was only able to manifest her [Backtrack] ability because Hayashi was strong enough.
As the saying went, a brick could fly if it was strong enough. If it was strong enough, a brick could fly out of the atmosphere, so what was this minor matter?
Through Rewind, everyone saw the entire process of what had happened.
Actually, the reason for this house could be traced back to over a hundred years ago. At the time, there was a family living here whose eight-year-old child was kidnapped by human traffickers and disappeared without a trace. The mother was so grief-stricken that she finally committed suicide — yep, judging from this, it was similar to Shuho Yatsuru.
But what happened next was different.
Unlike the Ice Room, which was normally deserted, after the woman committed suicide, the place had changed hands more than ten times, but the woman's spirit did not give up. She continued to search for her own children, and because of that, the woman targeted the children of the other families that lived here. Her hatred and obsession took away the souls of the children one by one, trapping them by her side.
But even so, the woman was not satisfied at all. She continued to search for traces of her child …
"Alright, we've figured it out."
Tian retracted his hand, and the surrounding images disappeared. The room returned to its original state. Looking at this scene, everyone was surprised and surprised.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is …"
Sako Hara Masako frowned and whispered to herself, while Mai Taniyama sighed.
"That woman is so pitiful …"
"So, Miss, what do you plan to do?"
At this moment, Tyrant stared at Yu curiously and asked. Yu glanced at him and smiled faintly.
"Since the crime is clear and conclusive, what we need to do next is very simple."
As he spoke, Yu snapped his fingers.
"Come out, Frostmourne!"
Along with Yu's call, a bone-chilling aura soon emerged, and a pitch-black greatsword slowly appeared in front of everyone. Seeing this, the half-baked psionic ability users were even more dumbfounded and speechless.
"Do it."
Hou paid no heed to the astonished gazes around him as he calmly gave the order. In the next moment, the crowd saw several streaks of light shoot out from the pitch-black sword and shoot forward at lightning speed. Accompanied by a shrill scream, a transparent female ghost wearing a kimono was directly bound by chains and pulled out from the darkness.
"Let me go! Let me go! I want my child!! Child!!! "
The female ghost gripped the ground tightly, having no intention of letting go at all. But Frostmourne would not care about the wails of a vengeful soul. The chains suddenly tightened, directly tore off the female ghost's lower body, and then devoured it into the sword. The female ghost's upper body was still clinging to the ground tightly, screaming in pain.
"No …! Don't!!! "
"Uh … Miss, what do you mean by this?"
Looking at the screaming ghost in front of him, Tyrant broke out in cold sweat, while Yu shrugged his shoulders.
"It's very simple. I want Frostmourne to swallow her. She'll live in pain forever. Unless I let her out, she'll never see the light of day again … Of course, that's on the premise that her soul can hold on until the day I want to let her out. Otherwise, her soul will vanish."
"Hiss …."
Everyone gasped when they heard Yu's answer. Mai Taniyama could not help but cry out.
"Why are you doing this to her? She's pitiful too!!"
"She's pitiful, yes, but that's not a reason for her to attack innocent children."
As he spoke, Yu snapped his fingers. Then, two more chains shot out and pierced through the female ghost's shoulders, lifting her up alive.
"Just like criminals, we can't just pay attention to why the criminal committed the crime. We need to pay more attention to the victim … Miss, if you think she's pitiful, then aren't the families whose children were taken away because of her obsession also pitiful?"
"That …."
Mai Taniyama was speechless for a while.
"God will give her a fair ending."
At this moment, a young man dressed like a priest finally couldn't help but speak up, while Dusk only glanced at him silently.
"Forgiving her is God's business, but not mine."
Following Yu's words, the female ghost finally could not hold on any longer. She was pulled into Frostmourne. Soon, the cold wind dissipated. The black greatsword that had swallowed the female ghost's soul retracted its aura and disappeared into the air again.
At the same time, childish laughter that sounded like silver bells rang out, and specks of light appeared in the surroundings.
"This is …."
"These are the souls of those children."
Tyrant looked at the spots of light around him with a complicated expression.
"They've broken free from the female ghost's shackles and regained their freedom."
"That's right."
Yu nodded and raised her hand. Along with her movement, a holy light descended from the sky and illuminated the room in front of them. Under the warm radiance of the holy light, they clearly saw several children standing around them, looking at them with smiles on their faces. Then, the girl in the lead bowed to Yu.
"Thank you, Big Sister."
"You're welcome. It's time for you to return to your parents."
"Okay. Goodbye, Big Sister!"
The children's souls waved at Yu, then turned around and disappeared into the holy light. Everyone watched all this in a daze. They only came back to their senses when the holy light disappeared again. At the same time, Yu had already packed up everything.
"Then, my work is over."
Yu nodded to the people in front of her and walked straight out of the room.
"Let's go, Crimson."
"Okay, Big Sister Yu!"
Hearing Yu's greeting, Crimson was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly followed Yu out of the room. At this time, Shako Hara also seemed to have reacted.
"I'll send you guys off too."
While saying that, she also hurriedly followed Yu out.
Only the other Psionicists remained standing there with complicated expressions on their faces. They did not say a word.
"This is the first time I've seen an exorcist exorcise a demon. I didn't expect that girl to have such a cute face, but she's so merciless …."
Tyrant scratched his head and couldn't help complaining. The expressions of the others were not much better. Psionicists like them usually thought about how to expiate the souls they encountered and how to fulfill their wishes so that they could ascend to heaven. They had never seen someone like Yu, who just came up to them without saying a word, beat them up, and then killed them ….
"In any case, the work is over, and the spirits have been exorcised."
Miko sighed as she looked at the empty room in front of her.
"Let's go."
After saying goodbye to Shako Hara, Yu and Crimson drove back to the office. On the way back, Crimson hesitated for a moment as she looked at Yu. She couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Yu, why did you do that? Everyone was scared by you."
Crimson wasn't a fool. She could tell that the Psionicists, including Shako Hara, were quite shocked by Yu's way of killing people. They were even a little nervous and afraid. Of course, Crimson herself was a little surprised by the result.
"It's a matter of principle."
She leaned against the window and stared at the scenery that flashed by outside.
"You see, Crimson, I told you that people in our line of work are similar to the police. No matter what the perpetrator is hiding, a crime is a crime, and a crime must be punished. Take that female ghost for example. It's pitiful that her child was kidnapped, but that's not a reason for her to kill other children at will. If she hadn't killed those children and bound their souls to her, I might have helped her find her child and fulfilled her wish. But unfortunately, she's crossed the line, so … she must be punished. "
She looked at Crimson as she said that.
"This is how the world is. You've made a choice, and you must bear the consequences. There's no motive, no reason. Everything is the same. "
Yu stared into Crimson's eyes and said in a low voice.
