Chapter 249

"Mr. Hamada, have you been to any strange places?" Akaso Kaze asked.

Koji Hamada's long hair hung low, his eyes filled with terror. "I, I haven't. I spend most of my time in the lighthouse..."

"Hmm? Where is the lighthouse located? Is it very close to the navy cave?" Akaso Kaze frowned.

"The lighthouse is outside our village residential area, located on the hill in the center of the island, some distance away from the navy cave," Goro Kinoshita replied.

Akaso Kaze nodded and didn't ask anything else.

Although there were many wounds, it was just a matter of a moment.

After all the treatments were finished, it was already very late.

Takeo Mikami led everyone away to take their leave.

Akaso Kaze and the others stayed at the hotel.

Late at night, inside a private residence in the residential area.

Koji Hamada exclaimed in surprise, "That Lord Onmyoji is too powerful. The wounds I got in the navy cave are all healed."

"Hamada, keep your voice down."

The person next to him said in a sinister voice, "If you're so loud, and something that shouldn't be heard by others is heard, our plan will be ruined."

"Yasuo Uehara, don't worry. Because they're afraid of the navy ghosts, no one dares to go out at night now."

"Hey, Hamada, are you still refusing to tell me where the gold is hidden? You should know that my patience is limited."

"I can't." Koji Hamada shook his head. "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you now. After my wounds are healed, we'll go get the gold together and split it fifty-fifty."

Yasuo Uehara was silent for a moment before saying, "Then we'll trust you once, but you'd better not play any more tricks on me, otherwise..."

"Uehara, I am sincerely cooperating with you."

Koji Hamada put on an innocent and pure expression. "However, before that, we have another problem. That Lord Onmyoji from Tokyo will definitely go to the navy cave tomorrow."

"If he discovers the gold hidden in the cave, then that gold definitely won't be ours."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Yasuo Uehara asked.

"We can only sneak in and take the gold while the Onmyoji is fighting those ghosts tomorrow. But with so much gold, how can we take it all away?"

Koji Hamada frowned tightly.

Outside the guest room, a figure stood quietly.

In the night, he was dressed in pitch black, and only the silhouette of a human could be seen.

Clearly, he was the most terrifying, murderous legendary "Black Shadow" of this world.

The next morning, as soon as Akaso Kaze woke up, Takeo Mikami, Goro Kinoshita, and others rushed over to greet him.

Because Kogoro Mouri had to give his speech, Akaso Kaze had to act alone today.

After everyone had breakfast, seeing that it was nearly eight o'clock, Akaso Kaze boarded several off-road vehicles prepared by the village and, accompanied by some brave islanders, began searching for navy ghosts on the island.

Just as the car stopped at the edge of the forest, they heard a commotion among the islanders.

Someone even exclaimed, "In the forest, there are armored samurai in the forest."

"Those are navy ghosts!"

Akaso Kaze looked up.

Sure enough, he found a ghost in the dark, sunless part of the forest.

This ghost was about ten meters away from Akaso Kaze, wreathed in black energy, and its appearance looked just like an ancient armored samurai.

In front of everyone, Akaso Kaze naturally couldn't release Akemi Miyano.

He took a few talismans from his pocket and lit them with a lighter.

Then he cast his Mind Hand to slap the burning talismans onto the ghost's face.

Slap, slap, slap.

Boom.

The entire ghost instantly burst into flames.

The real lethality came from the secretly cast Flame Hand.

A huge palm made of fire gripped the black energy outside the ghost's body.

With a bang, he crushed it.

The black energy scattered, then slowly gathered again, re-forming into a human shape.

Although it had been burned smaller by the flames, it was clear that relying on fire to burn it to death would be very difficult.

Oh, so stubborn?

This magic array is not simple.

There was a churning in the soul space, and Akaso Kaze took a look; the Mist Tengu was jumping up and down excitedly.

Can this thing actually deal with navy ghosts?

Akaso Kaze thought for a moment and threw it out.

"Look! The Onmyoji's shikigami!"

An islander called out in surprise.

A group of people looked at the palm-sized long-nosed dog, all showing skeptical expressions.

What use could such a small thing have?

Wouldn't it be slashed to death by the navy ghost in one blow?

As soon as the Mist Tengu came out, it stepped on water vapor and lunged straight at the navy ghost.

It jumped onto the ghost's head and hugged it, gnawing away.

With one bite, the ghost's head was visibly missing a chunk.

And the Mist Tengu doubled in size.

As one grew and the other waned, the second bite ate the entire head of the navy ghost. ===== CHAPTER 251 =====
