Chapter 67

As Aoyama and Suginami Fukuyuki walked deeper into the black mist, they noticed that the mist only confused their senses when they tried to leave the school grounds. However, when they tried to move towards the school’s interior, the mist did not affect their perception at all.

Soon, Aoyama and Suginami Fukuyuki saw the vague outlines of the school buildings ahead. As they passed by a gymnasium, Aoyama stopped and looked at it.

"Is there something over there, Lord Aoyama?" Suginami Fukuyuki asked.

"Take this, and you will see." Aoyama raised his hand, and a jade talisman slipped out from the bag of holding in his sleeve. He handed the talisman to Suginami Fukuyuki.

Suginami Fukuyuki took the talisman with some confusion. In the next moment, she saw several ghostly figures floating in the black mist, slowly approaching them from the direction of the gymnasium.

"What are those?" Suginami Fukuyuki asked, startled.

"They are just some minor spirits that haven't yet gained any power. In any other environment, their antics would have already caused them to dissipate. However, you should still be careful when facing them. If they manage to latch onto you, it could be troublesome for you now," Aoyama said calmly.

These minor spirits were even weaker than the white ghost Aoyama had first encountered, which at least had the ability to manifest. These spirits couldn't even do that.

If not for the special environment filled with black mist, these spirits would have no chance of influencing humans, let alone controlling those with weak wills. Even a slight collision with human yang energy could cause them to dissipate.

"Lord Aoyama, what is this?" Suginami Fukuyuki asked curiously, holding up the talisman.

"This is a spirit communication talisman. It can connect the realms of the living and the dead. I'm giving it to you; you might find it useful in the future," Aoyama replied.

"Thank you, Lord Aoyama," Suginami Fukuyuki said gratefully.

"Don't mention it; it's not a precious item," Aoyama waved his hand.

As they spoke, the ghostly figures finally approached them.

Suginami Fukuyuki slowly drew her katana and swung it at one of the ghosts. However, the lethal strike that would have killed a living person only made the ghost's body waver, and it continued to lunge at her. If she hadn't quickly dodged, the ghost would have possessed her.

"Lord Aoyama, these ghosts have no physical form. What should we do?" Faced with the incorporeal ghosts, Suginami Fukuyuki was at a loss and turned to Aoyama for help.

"Killing intent, release your killing intent! Ghosts fear the killing intent of evil people," Aoyama stood aside, offering guidance.

"Killing intent? How do I release it?" Suginami Fukuyuki was completely at a loss. If he had asked her to use a specific sword technique, she would have understood, but this intangible killing intent was beyond her comprehension.

"It might be difficult for an ordinary person, but it should be easy for you! Have you forgotten the desires you deliberately suppressed? The urge for blood? Now, don't hold back. Recall the feeling when you killed someone!" Aoyama said.

"I understand," Suginami Fukuyuki said in a low voice.

Blood, blood, blood. I want blood, so much blood, and those pink chunks of flesh. Just the smell of it is enough to make me drunk.

That sweet scent of blood! I want to taste it again!

Recalling the scenes of her killing living people, the suppressed desires were released. Instantly, Suginami Fukuyuki's entire presence changed.

"Very good, just like that! But your killing intent is not pure enough; it's mixed with too many desires! When you can freely control your killing intent and rid it of those desires, you will have mastered it," Aoyama nodded.

"I understand, Lord Aoyama," Suginami Fukuyuki replied and swung her katana at the ghost again.

This time, it had an effect.

The ghost let out a silent wail and dissipated.

In this way, Suginami Fukuyuki eliminated one of the minor spirits.

She then repeated the process and eliminated the remaining ghosts.

However, just then, a new situation arose. Perhaps attracted by their conversation, several stiff figures began to shuffle towards them from the gymnasium. From their clothing, it was clear they were students from a sports club who hadn't managed to leave the school in time.

"Lord Aoyama, are they being controlled?" Because of the spirit communication talisman, Suginami Fukuyuki saw the small ghosts on their heads and asked.

"Yes, they are possessed!" Aoyama nodded.

"What should we do? Can they be restored?" Suginami Fukuyuki frowned.

"Don't worry. As long as we eliminate the spirits possessing them, they will be fine," Aoyama said.

"What should I do?" Suginami Fukuyuki's hand holding the katana trembled. She was afraid she would lose control of her bloodlust and strike the students.

"You can't do it. Your killing intent, while powerful enough to eliminate the spirits, is too violent and would harm their consciousness. I'll handle it," Aoyama shook his head.

With that, Aoyama extended his hand towards the approaching figures.

A bolt of lightning appeared in Aoyama's hand, and with a few crackling sounds, several thin bolts of lightning struck the heads of the figures, easily eliminating the spirits.

After the spirits were eliminated, the possessed people collapsed one by one, unconscious.

"Alright, that's taken care of. Let them lie here for a while. I'll deal with the situation," Aoyama retracted his hand.

"Yes, Lord Aoyama," Suginami Fukuyuki replied.

The two continued forward and soon reached the base of the school building. At the same time, Aoyama's divine sense detected what was happening in the staff room upstairs.

Aoyama frowned and looked at Suginami Fukuyuki. "There's a situation. I need to go up directly. You take the stairs to the staff room and find me."

"Okay, no problem," Suginami Fukuyuki replied without asking any questions.

"Give me the katana," Aoyama extended his hand.

Suginami Fukuyuki immediately drew her katana and handed it to Aoyama.

Taking the katana, Aoyama infused it with pure yang energy from his body. The ordinary blade hummed and trembled under the power of the pure yang energy, and a milky white glow emanated from it.

"If you encounter possessed people, using your killing intent to attack them would cause too much harm. Use this instead. The pure yang energy I've infused into it should last for at least an hour. Remember to strike the ghost's core with the back of the blade to eliminate the spirit from the body," Aoyama handed the katana back to Suginami Fukuyuki.

"I understand," Suginami Fukuyuki replied, taking the katana that still glowed with a milky white light.

"Alright, I'll go up first," Aoyama nodded. He infused his feet with pure yang energy, leaped lightly, and rose from the ground. As he reached the top of his jump, he stepped on a protruding part of the school building's wall and shot up another four or five meters. In this way, Aoyama quickly made his way to the staff room.

The votes for the Three Rivers have been overtaken by a brush! Sigh!

The brush used to boost votes is simply too outrageous. I'm at a loss! My votes have been rising steadily, but his are different. They remain unchanged for a long time, then suddenly jump by fifty votes in a few minutes, and then another hundred! He never asks for votes in his books, yet his Three Rivers votes keep rising mysteriously. This is too outrageous!

Suddenly, I feel like a fool for working so hard to get votes...

Perhaps this is what it means to be rich and carefree!

However, I still need to ask for votes. Just enter the Three Rivers section, click on the Three Rivers vote button on the right side when you first enter, and you'll get a Three Rivers vote. Then, vote for this book. Thank you all for your help!

Also, I'm asking for recommendation votes!
