He deliberately chose a powerful ghost nearby, with a strength about 5 times that of a Bakeneko.
Therefore, after shattering it with his ultimate move, the power that exploded was enormous, and the shockwave it created wiped out 99.9% of the ghosts!
This kind of 5 times stronger ghost is very rare.
Each one has considerable intelligence.
They know how to divide territory, rule their respective areas, like kings and overlords, controlling all the ghosts in their territory.
“So…so amazing!”
Yotsuya Miko stared blankly, muttering, “All the ghosts in this area were wiped out, not a single one left!”
“This kind of power is too unbelievable!” Yurikawa Hana looked at the big hole on the ground, her mouth agape.
The two were completely shocked by the power displayed by Higashi no Shou.
【Roar!】
Suddenly, a cold roar came from afar.
“That is!?” Yotsuya Miko looked up, her pupils constricted.
She saw streams of black smoke rising, spreading in all directions, exuding a deep malice.
They were all powerful ghosts!
They were awakened by Higashi no Shou’s single strike.
“There are so many, and they’re all so strong!” Yotsuya Miko’s face changed, her face filled with deep fear, “There are so many terrifying ghosts in this city!”
“Moreover…”
Yotsuya Miko’s heart skipped a beat, she couldn’t believe her own eyes.
She seemed to have seen a man in a suit suddenly tear open his human appearance, transforming into a malicious ghost.
“Ghosts…can actually disguise themselves as humans?” Yotsuya Miko muttered, a chill running down her spine.
Fortunately, she didn’t encounter this kind of ghost!
The other’s disguise was perfect, she could easily be fooled into thinking it was a human and talking to it.
This would break the invisible restriction of 【Seeing】, giving the ghost an opportunity to attack her.
“What’s wrong, Miko?” Yurikawa Hana looked at her with concern, “Why are you suddenly sweating?”
“Eh?”
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko touched her forehead, feeling cold and clammy.
She realized that, without her noticing, she was already sweating profusely, her face pale.
“I’m fine, I was just startled.” Yotsuya Miko shook her head.
“Oh oh, the ghosts must look really scary.” Yurikawa Hana misunderstood, and comfortingly put her arm around Yotsuya Miko’s shoulders.
“Yeah, they’re really scary.” Yotsuya Miko smiled helplessly.
…
【Hoh…!!】
The ghosts from all directions roared at Higashi no Shou.
【Human!】
【Are you provoking us?】
【Leave!】
【This is my territory!】
They all stared at Higashi no Shou with malicious eyes.
But if you listened carefully, you could hear the hidden fear and trepidation in their voices.
They were afraid of Higashi no Shou.
The power of that move just now was too terrifying, even the reverberating shockwaves had injured them quite a bit.
“I only have one request.”
Higashi no Shou looked around, his eyes filled with disdain, “I’ve taken this area.”
“You guys take care of the guys in your own territories, don’t come here looking for food.”
“I find one, I’ll kill you!”
The ghosts on all sides fell silent.
After a long time.
They gave their reply.
【Fine.】
【That’s our bottom line.】
【Don’t enter our territory either.】
After saying this, the ghosts glanced at Higashi no Shou with apprehension and disappeared.
“Humph.”
Higashi no Shou sneered, retracted his gaze, and walked out of the big hole.
He waved to Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana in the distance, and the two of them ran over.
“Higashi no Shou-kun, did…did you succeed?”
As soon as they ran up, Yotsuya Miko couldn’t wait to ask.
“Yes, from now on, there won’t be any ghosts in your home area, within a 5 kilometer radius.” Higashi no Shou nodded and said.
Yotsuya Miko’s face beamed with joy.
“Higashi no Shou-kun, how did you do it?” Yurikawa Hana asked.
She couldn’t see the ghosts, she only saw Higashi no Shou seem to be talking to someone.
She had no idea about the specifics.
“Using ghosts to fight ghosts.” Higashi no Shou said.
“Using ghosts to fight ghosts?” Yurikawa Hana gasped, “Can you do that?”
“Of course!” Higashi no Shou nodded and explained, “High-level ghosts have already developed intelligence and thinking abilities comparable to humans, they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they divide up territories, I forced them to restrain the subordinates in their own territories, if anything happens, I’ll kill them.”
“Those ghosts are afraid of being killed by me, they naturally know what to do.”
Higashi no Shou spoke eloquently.
Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were so surprised that their mouths dropped open.
“Higashi no Shou-kun, ghosts can have human intelligence?” Yotsuya Miko asked fearfully.
“Yeah, high-level ghosts, yokai and other spiritual phenomena, all have intelligence comparable to humans, and…” Higashi no Shou looked at her, his expression pensive.
“What’s wrong?” Yotsuya Miko asked in confusion.
“Speaking of high-level ghosts, there’s something even more terrifying, I’m not sure if I should tell you.” Higashi no Shou stroked his chin, his expression hesitant.
Yotsuya Miko was taken aback, she couldn’t help but look at Yurikawa Hana.
The two girls exchanged glances.
Soon, they nodded firmly, and earnestly asked Higashi no Shou, “Please tell us, Higashi no Shou-kun!”
Now that they’re involved with ghosts, they can’t back down.
They should be proactive and learn about the danger!
“Your attitude is great, keep it up.” Higashi no Shou smiled exaggeratedly, then began, “As I said, high-level ghosts have human intelligence, but above high-level ghosts, there are even more top-level ghosts, they can completely hide themselves and disguise themselves as other things, for example, humans… and deities!”
Boom!
These words shocked Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.
Their minds felt like a bomb exploded.
“Dei…deities!?”
They both exclaimed in disbelief.
“You’re kidding, that’s the deity!” Yurikawa Hana’s face turned pale.
“Yeah, Higashi no Shou-kun.” Yotsuya Miko also trembled, “How could the deity be a ghost!”
Higashi no Shou didn’t speak, he just looked at them.
The answer was obvious.
The two girls’ expressions turned to fear.
Thinking about the shrines they worshipped in the past, knowing that the deity living inside wasn’t a deity but a ghost disguised as a deity, they shivered with fear, their hands and feet freezing cold.
“That’s why I hesitated to tell you.” Higashi no Shou sighed, “The truth is always hard to accept.”
