Sigh, I should have guessed it. Someone who managed to become a leader of a national department couldn't be a good person … No, he had to be someone who knew what was going on.
I rubbed my chin and looked at Akuraba Of Goguryeo. He was quietly kneeling in front of the fire with a faint smile on his face.
Sigh, I wasn't good at dealing with people like him. I hated people who always smiled. After all, Ichimaru Gin had betrayed my former Adonis, Aizen.
After all, Fuji Shusuke had defeated my former Adonis, Shiraishi Kōsuke.
His smile was unforgivable!
I thought about it for the whole night. The next day, I would tell Akuraba Of Goguryeo that he wasn't good and why he didn't want me to work anymore. Then, I thought about all the possible conversations and prepared a draft.
The next day, I threw all my luggage to Akuraba Of Goguryeo.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo summoned his Spirit-branded Retainers to help carry the luggage!
Me:???
Then what were you doing before?!!!
"It was just a small lesson," Akuraba Of Goguryeo said with a smile.
Wow, you're tall, but you don't have a big heart.
However, with the help of the Spirit-branded Retainers, our speed increased a lot. Soon, we arrived at our destination.
This was a noble city. It was said that a powerful demon had appeared in this city. Several Onmyoji had come, but they couldn't find the root of the problem. So, Akuraba Of Goguryeo came to deal with this matter.
On the way, Akuraba Of Goguryeo would occasionally teach me some knowledge about Yin Yang Jutsu. However, he never taught me how to use Yin Yang Jutsu.
"It's because your power is too strong. Before you have the temperament to use your power, I won't teach you Yin Yang Jutsu that can harm you."
Good, good, good. You're right.
After we entered the city, the nobles received us respectfully. They even arranged a place for us to stay and prepared food.
The quality of the food was still average, but it was much better than what I had eaten a few days ago. I enjoyed the meal and took a walk in the courtyard.
As I walked, I heard whispers. At first, I didn't pay much attention to them, but when I heard the name 'Akuraba Of Goguryeo', I hid in the bushes and listened.
"Did someone die again yesterday?"
"That's right. It's Lord Lu Zheng this time."
"So it's because of Tomiko, right?"
"Is she here for revenge? How scary."
"After all, it was Lord Kang Fu and Lord Lu Zheng … who treated Tomiko that way …"
The two maids whispered to each other for a while before leaving.
From this conversation, I could already imagine what kind of monster it was.
I was so angry, I didn't expect to meet this kind of scum here! My blood rushed to my head, and I decided to avenge this female ghost.
If the laws of this world cannot punish the wicked, then let me use the most primitive method!
With a sense of justice in my heart, I fell into deep thought.
… How am I supposed to help him?
… I'm sorry, I'm just an incompetent human!
After thinking about it, I threw this matter to the back of my mind. However, to my surprise, an opportunity came quickly. On the second day of Akuraba Of Goguryeo's arrival, he found the ghost and caught her.
"As expected of Lord Goguryeo, you're really powerful." The nobles were respectful with a trace of fear, and they had a flattering smile on their faces. "Lord, please stay for a few days and enjoy the scenery here."
Akuraba Of Goguryeo shook his head, "I can't leave the capital for too long. I'll have to pack my luggage tonight and leave tomorrow."
"Yes, yes. After all, even the Emperor can't leave you." The nobles took out a box from one of their attendants, "You've spared no effort to help me. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"It's part of my duty." Akuraba Of Goguryeo took the box with a smile, "If there's anything similar, please tell me at any time."
… Wow, these two really have a face-to-face transaction.
I was dumbfounded as I watched Akuraba Of Goguryeo give the box to the Spirit-branded Retainer next to him with a smile. Then, the two of them slowly left the place. I couldn't help but look at the jar Akuraba Of Goguryeo used to seal the female ghost.
That must be the female ghost who met with a pitiful situation. Since I wasn't afraid of death, I moved closer to the jar and opened it. I saw a small woman sitting inside.
"Save me … Sob sob sob. Is there anyone who can save me …"
"You're that female ghost?" I asked. The small person inside the jar nodded pitifully.
"Save me, I'm in so much pain, so unbearable …"
The moment I reached out to take the little person out of the jar, someone grabbed my shoulder.
"What are you doing?"
"… I, I'm just looking."
The smile on Akuraba Of Goguryeo's face disappeared, "What are you doing?"
Wow! Scary! The teaching director found out that I was playing with my phone in class!
Once the smile on his face disappeared, Akuraba Of Goguryeo suddenly looked unapproachable. I said timidly, "This, this, I think she was killed. Those people haven't been punished yet … so I …"
"So, you want to release her?" Akuraba Of Goguryeo sighed, "She's no longer a human. She's completely turned into an evil ghost. An evil ghost who kills people will only become more and more addicted to …"
"But, can you let those people who should be punished escape?" I wasn't convinced, "Why?"
"The crimes of the living shouldn't be judged by the dead," Akuraba Of Goguryeo closed the jar again and stuck a talisman on it.
"Then, what if the laws of the human world can't punish them?"
Akuraba Of Goguryeo suddenly stopped. He smiled and turned to look at me.
"I can't answer this question. Let's give it a try."
I shouldn't have asked Akuraba Of Goguryeo this question. At this moment, he didn't look like the gentle Onmyoji of the past. It was as if he had turned into another person.
"If you must see," Akuraba Of Goguryeo said and handed the jar to me, "Let her go."
“？？” I didn't know why Akuraba Of Goguryeo changed his mind. I took the jar and looked at him, dumbfounded.
"Revenge doesn't sound bad," Akuraba Of Goguryeo looked at me and smiled. "Isn't it?"
In the end, I hesitated and let Tomiko go. However, my heart was still filled with uneasiness and nervousness.
My uneasiness was confirmed at night. Tomiko started a massacre in the city. Not only did she kill the nobles, but she also killed the servants who worked with her and her family members. She began to attack them crazily.
"Ye, Goguryeo -sama! Didn't you already catch that monster?! " The nobleman cried and knelt at Akuraba Of Goguryeo's feet. His tears and snot flowed out. "Please save me!"
"It seems that she has more power than I thought. The one we caught earlier was just her clone." Akuraba Of Goguryeo helped the nobleman up and smiled comfortingly. "It's okay. I will purify her."
After comforting the nobleman, Akuraba Of Goguryeo looked at me with a smile. "Let's go. Let's go and see the real evil spirit."
Why is he still smiling at this time?
He could have stopped me from the beginning and explained things clearly to me. I'm not an unreasonable person. I won't let more people die like this.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo looked at me. There were many complicated emotions in his eyes that I couldn't understand. In the end, they turned into a pool of tranquil water.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Akuraba Of Goguryeo asked me.
"Yes, I know. Let's go and save her!" I hurriedly grabbed Akuraba Of Goguryeo's hand and tried to pull him out.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo followed me to the courtyard. When we were out of everyone's sight, he stopped and said, "We don't need to go there. I've already sent my Spirit-branded Retainers to prevent this from happening again."
I heaved a sigh of relief. Then, I saw that Akuraba Of Goguryeo was still looking at me.
Is he going to praise me?
But he's already so old … He doesn't need to act like this, does he?
I was already guilty of making a mistake. Now, I carefully looked at Akuraba Of Goguryeo. "Then … Are you really a good person?"
"… I'm not a good person." Akuraba Of Goguryeo pulled my hand away. "Let's go."
He seemed to be in a bad mood. I didn't remember what had happened.
When I saw Tomiko, she had already turned into a huge, pitch-black monster. She had completely lost her rationality as a human. She kept muttering words that the living couldn't understand.
"Do you see? This is the consequence of letting an evil spirit go free." Akuraba Of Goguryeo said and raised his hand. A faint fluorescent light gathered under his hand and formed the shape of a pentagram. In the end, it turned into a black hole and swallowed Tomiko, who had already turned into an evil spirit.
But, can't I just release her soul?
I was conflicted. However, I didn't understand what this world was like. Since I had already made a mistake once, I didn't mention it again.
Then, we returned to the capital. I originally thought that after this, I would obediently learn Yin Yang Magic. Then, I would finally be able to control my huge spiritual power.
However, after returning to the capital, I didn't even have a peaceful time for a few days before I was locked up.
"You must have seen it. This world is full of evil spirits and monsters that take people's lives." Akuraba Of Goguryeo sat across from me with a faint smile. "Therefore, the Emperor ordered the construction of a magic formation to cover the entire capital and expel the evil spirits from the capital."
At that time, I didn't react. I stupidly said, "That's pretty good."
"The core of the magic formation must have a huge amount of spiritual power. It's equivalent to a living sacrifice."
When I heard about the huge amount of spiritual power, I had a bad premonition. As expected, his next words confirmed my suspicions.
"I divined the location of the living sacrifice and went to find you."
