Since he ran slowly, he was held directly around the waist. In this situation, how could he pay attention to the details? Li Muzhi also grabbed a fixed position.
She was already embarrassed enough after being held and run for so long, and now she was yelled at by her daughter in this situation, which made her feel extremely ashamed and angry for a moment.
"It's none of your business!" Li Mu came to his senses in an instant, his face darkened, and he reached out to hug her around the waist without saying a word.
After Uesugi Xia Xiang expressed her position, she knew that this was not the time to act out, so she cooperated very well and let him hold her on the side.
The mother and daughter were sandwiched between Li Muzhi, looking at each other with extremely complicated expressions.
Li Muzhi also noticed a man lying next to him. He took a look and thought he looked familiar, but he didn't remember who he was, so he said, "Follow me."
Then he ran away.
Watanabe Izumi recognized Li Muzhi the moment he appeared and thought he was dead.
But when he saw that he didn't seem to recognize him, he felt extremely insulted and his mood was extremely complicated for a moment. However, his survival instinct still drove him to get up quickly and run after Li Muzhi.
A total of seven monks behind him had lined up again and were chasing in the direction the four people were fleeing.
As Li Muzhi ran, he glanced at the seven monks behind him. The body of the female monk who had just been burned to a charred corpse had obvious signs of recovery.
The parts of the other six people that were injured by his strikes have now healed to their original state.
Although the seven people seemed stiff, they could not find a solution to this strange recovery ability for a while.
Li Muzhi led the three of them to the back of a woods, turned around and took a closer look, and found that he had gotten rid of the seven monsters.
Only then did he stop and put down the two people in his hands.
After Uesugi Meiki stood firm, she immediately pulled her clothes. Since she was wearing a yukata, she was not worried about her underwear being caught and deformed.
"Mom!" Shangshan Xia Xiang rushed forward and threw herself into her arms, her eyes red, obviously she was frightened by what happened just now.
"Um..." Watanabe Izumi panted heavily and looked at Li Muzhi: "Are you a demon slayer?"
"Just understand it this way." Li Muzhi nodded. At this time, he had already recognized Watanabe Izumi, but did not speak actively.
You can't just say that your fiancée is awesome, after all, Fujiwara Ryoko has physically become his shape.
Although the relationship between the two is still very bad, it does not hinder other contacts.
"Take me out." Watanabe Izumi said anxiously, "I won't care about you and Ryoko. I will satisfy any request you make, whether it's money or other things!"
At this time, Watanabe Izumi also knew that Li Muzhi had definitely recognized him. In order to survive, he would not feel any psychological pressure to be humble to this love rival.
"It's obvious that we can't get out." Li Muzhi shrugged and pointed around: "This mountain is not very high. Judging from the distance we ran, we should have almost reached the hotel in the middle of the mountain, but the actual distance has not shortened. In other words, we are trapped in this space by these monsters. If we don't get rid of them, we can't get out."
"Ah?!" The one who spoke was Shangshan Xiaxiang. She raised her hand from her mother's arms and looked horrified: "What should I do?"
"Monsters won't attack humans for no reason." Li Muzhi glanced at the few people and said, "There is only one possibility now. We have triggered some mechanism of theirs, so they are chasing us."
"But I didn't do anything!" Shangshan Xiaxiang pouted: "I just took a look and they kept pestering me."
"Plaguing you?" Li Muzhi looked suspicious.
At this moment, the nightmare-like footsteps and whispers in the distance sounded again.
“Here we go again!” Shangshan Xiaxiang’s expression was about to collapse, and her eyes were full of helplessness: “How about I go and apologize to them.”
"Xia Xiang..." Perhaps because her daughter's remarks were too idiotic, Uesugi Meiko couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to stop her.
Li Muzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked into the distance and said to Shangshan Xiaxiang, "Don't move here."
Chapter 185 Mrs. Uesugi takes action
"Wait." When the beautiful concubine Uesugi saw that Li Muzhi was going to face those strange things alone, an anxious look instantly appeared on her face.
With deep worry in her eyes, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "We can wait for rescue here. When the Metropolitan Police Department receives the news of my disappearance, they will send people from the Special Affairs Division to investigate. Right now we don't know what those strange things are. You are not ready yet."
Li Mu was stunned. The words of the beautiful concubine Uesugi made him recall the scene of him and his aunt in the spring.
At that time, he retreated in the face of the truth. He instinctively resisted the unknown and uncertain things.
He reached out and held the hand of the beautiful concubine Uesugi, gently lowered it from his sleeve, looked at this beautiful lady with a worried face, and spoke softly:
"If you choose to wait for rescue, you will be spreading the danger to you. I don't want you to be in danger."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the strangeness in the distance: "Wait for me to come back."
"This guy actually feels so safe." Shangshan Xiaxiang came up from behind, looked at his mother, and his expression froze: "Mom, why is your face so red!"
The beautiful concubine Shangshan took her eyes off Li Muzhi. Her thoughts were exposed by her daughter, and she looked very flustered. She hurriedly explained: "I just ran so far, I'm a little out of breath."
"But wasn't you being hugged just now..." Uesugi Xia Xiang had a strange expression on his face and looked at his mother's chest. The collar of her kimono was half-unbuttoned, and there was still a thin layer of sweat on her exposed collarbone.
She just saw Li Mu's hand grasped there, but she didn't say anything because the situation was urgent. Now she saw her mother looking shy.
Thinking of Li Muzhi holding his mother and running all the way, at this moment, she felt that she had grown up.
"Is he an exorcist?" Watanabe Izumi, who was standing nearby, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Muzhi dealing with those monsters. He came over and asked the two of them.
As a superior, he felt extremely embarrassed that his life and death were in the hands of others.
"Yeah." Uesugi Meiko didn't explain much. She glanced at the handsome man. From his clothes and manners, she could tell that he came from an extraordinary family.
But there was a hint of hostility between his brows, which made him completely unlike Li Muzhi, who made people feel at ease.
Mrs. Uesugi's cheeks turned red again. She wondered why she would involuntarily compare other men with Li Muzhi whenever she saw them.
He quickly turned his head and looked at the figure disappearing into the darkness.
At this time, Li Muzhi was holding the Fox Fire Sword formed by his own demonic power and was confronting seven monsters.
He was a cautious man. If it were in the past, he might have chosen a safer approach, taking advantage of these strange and stiff characteristics of his movements to buy time and wait for rescue.
But that would increase the risk of ordinary people like Mrs. Uesugi being attacked, and no one knows what strange abilities these monsters have.
This time he intends to take on the responsibility of protecting his companions.
The seven monks all looked in his direction and tapped the ground with their staffs, making strange "dong dong" sounds.
Li Muzhi held the Foxfire Sword in his hand and glanced at them. The monster in front of him was obviously difficult to deal with, and the conventional attacks composed of demonic power were completely ineffective.
Their true bodies are obviously not flesh, otherwise they wouldn't be able to revive after being burned.
If the demon sword boy cuts your hand, you can also try physical sealing.
His eyes swept over the seven people and when they fell on the last weirdo, his eyes suddenly focused. It seemed as if he had just seen this face not long ago.
"Could it be..." Li Muzhi had a strange expression on his face and quickly found this face from his memory. This was clearly the face they saw when they went up the mountain.
The body encountered was now one of seven, and the total number of weirdnesses had not increased.
At this time, Uesugi Meifei could no longer hear Li Muzhi's voice and could only sit on the ground and pray for him silently.
"I remembered!" Uesugi Xia Xiang suddenly clapped her hands, attracting the attention of the two people next to her.
"What did you remember?" Uesugi Meiko was a little dissatisfied with her daughter's startled behavior.
"I seem to have heard of a similar urban legend." Shangshan Xiaxiang closed his eyes, as if trying to recall, and suddenly said: "Yes, it seems to be called Seven People Traveling Together."
"What is that?" It was Watanabe Izumi who spoke. He kept looking at the place where Li Muzhi left, looking very uneasy.
"It's the monster in the legend of Shikoku." Uesugi Xia Xiang said, "According to the legend, it is composed of seven vicious sinners. Their souls are forever entangled, and their souls are bound and can only wander the world forever. The souls can only be freed under one condition."
Watanabe Izumi's face was obviously very ugly. He lowered his head and asked, "What's going on?"
"Someone is willing to take over their place." Shangshan Xiaxiang said, "And the successor will take revenge. If successful, they will be freed, and then the avenger will continue to wander. Strange..."
She paused here and thought seriously: "When I saw them, they were doing bad things to the victim."
As he spoke, he recalled the group sex scene and his face turned red. "Then why did they keep chasing me? Even if I wanted to do something bad, I don't have the ability to do it."
"Xia Xiang." The beautiful concubine Uesugi next to her suddenly interrupted her, stretched out her hand, pulled her behind her, and looked at Watanabe Izumi.
"The Metropolitan Police Department received a case the day before yesterday where the bodies of two female victims disappeared from the morgue. We initially determined that it was a supernatural incident, so we handed it over to the Special Affairs Division for handling."
Seeing her unfriendly tone, Watanabe Izumi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The autopsy report shows that a girl died of suffocation and had taken an overdose of drugs before her death." Uesugi Meiko said as she carefully stepped back a few steps:
"The other one accidentally fell down the stairs and died. The two deceased were friends. We have already identified the suspect, but because of his special identity, we are investigating him in secret."
"What do you mean?" Watanabe Izumi's face was gloomy: "How could I do such a thing with my status?"
"Really?" Uesugi Mikiko stared at his expression. As the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, he was also very good at observing micro-expressions. This guy was obviously panicking in this situation.
She knew that revealing the truth now would be dangerous, but she couldn't let Li Muzhi face those weirdnesses alone.
If we can figure out why those weird things keep chasing us, maybe we can solve the problem directly.
Even though she looks like a weak lady, with her fighting ability, she is more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.
Investigating the suspect or something like that is complete nonsense. It's just a trick to deceive the person in front of you after analyzing the current situation, but as for the result.
It seems like it was a really good thing.
Chapter 186 Don’t die, I agree with what’s going on between you and my mom!
"Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying." Watanabe Izumi was only briefly flustered, but soon calmed down. He felt that he had been deceived by this woman.
He knew that with his social status, no one could do anything to him unless he took the initiative to admit it.
Under the current circumstances, the other side also has an exorcist with considerable combat power. If a conflict were to occur, it would be overwhelmingly disadvantageous to me.
Seeing that he calmed down quickly, Uesugi Meiko felt helpless. She was just guessing and there was nothing she could do to him without any evidence.
But he is not worried that he will do something bad to him. After all, he has Li Muzhi, a powerful fighter.
Uesugi Xia Xiang also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and hid behind his mother and shrank his head.
At this moment, Li Muzhi's figure staggered over from a distance. In the dark night, the figure seemed a little shaky, with one hand pressing on his abdomen with a painful expression.
"What happened?!" Uesugi Meifei's face changed drastically. She ran over and supported the shaky Li Muzhi: "Where are you injured?"
"Let's go..." Li Muzhi managed to squeeze out the words from between his teeth: "It's impossible to eliminate those guys using normal methods."
As he was speaking, the rustling footsteps sounded again behind him. Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, he seemed to have heard the nightmarish whispers.
"Let me help." Uesugi Xia Xiang also ran over and put one of his hands on his shoulder.
Uesugi Meifei also quickly took his other hand and said, "Let's go!"
The mother and daughter carried him and ran into the forest.
