Chapter 25: Exorcism is as simple as that
Do supernatural things exist?
You can’t believe in all the supernatural stories, but you can also have no faith in them.
Horii Suzune vaguely remembers that when she was young, her father would sometimes say things that she couldn't understand, and her mother would comfort him.
They had discussed supernatural things many times, and later their mother died, and their father gradually showed signs of mental abnormality.
For this reason, when she was choosing clubs in high school, she created her own Psychic Club in order to find out more about the supernatural.
Exorcising evil spirits was something she had once fantasized about and was now putting into practice.
Stepping into the bathroom, Horii Suzune put away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, reached into the cloth bag with her right hand, tightly grasped a corner of the Vajra Realm Mandala, held the mobile phone in her left hand, and silently turned on the flashlight.
Because whether it is in movies or TV dramas or supernatural stories, the first sign of supernatural events happening in the bathroom is the flickering lights, or suddenly the light bulb explodes and everything goes dark.
In order to prevent herself from being too busy, she felt she needed to make some preparations in advance.
The lights were still bright, without any flickering.
Horii Suzune felt a little relieved and looked around nervously to prevent the evil spirits and ghosts mentioned by Hiramiya Chiya from suddenly jumping out from the corner.
She glanced around the corners of the bathroom and found nothing unusual.
Do I have to check every bathroom one by one?
Just as Horii Suzune began to check, her peripheral vision caught sight of the upper right corner of the large mirror, where there seemed to be a dark shadow curled up.
Is it hidden in the mirror?
Come on, don't be afraid.
Horii Suzune encouraged herself several times in her heart, and walked to the front of the mirror with firm but slightly trembling steps.
This time, she really saw the dark shadow curled up in the mirror.
It is about the size of a fist, like a miniature human figure.
Horii Suzune did not take out the Vajra Realm Mandala from the cloth bag immediately because there were two girls washing their hands next to her.
The innocent must not be harmed.
Horii Suzune took a few deep breaths and suppressed the nervousness, excitement, fear and other emotions in her heart.
The black shadow in the mirror seemed to be aware of something. It flowed out from the corner of the mirror like a pool of black water, forming a huge head on the mirror facing Horii Suzune.
It has a long and slender neck, a huge head, and long black hair that spreads out, like a venomous snake with self-awareness.
Its face is 9% similar to Fujiwara Kaori, which makes it not look that scary or horrible.
What is certain is that the abnormal phenomena occurring to Fujiwara Kaori are definitely related to it.
It is the evil spirit that Pinggong Qianye mentioned, hiding in the bathroom.
Looking at each other face to face, although Horii Suzune was frightened, she pretended not to notice its existence just like the two girls beside her.
It seemed to have a certain consciousness. Its head turned up and down several times, and its slender neck was tied into several knots, but its eyes were always fixed on Horii Suzune's eyes.
When the two girls left the bathroom, Horii Suzune gradually became unable to bear the pressure and pretended to lower her head to wash her face.
When she lowered her head to reveal her snow-white and delicate neck, the evil ghost in the mirror seemed to have waited for the most appropriate moment.
It rushed out of the mirror with a roar, opened its mouth which was much larger than that of a normal person, and bit towards Horii Suzune's neck.
As the shadow poked its head out of the mirror, the bathroom light began to flicker.
Coupled with the cold touch coming from the back of her neck, Horii Suzune was almost getting goosebumps.
She knew that the evil ghost was about to attack her!
Without further hesitation, she tightly grasped Vajra Realm Mandala in her right hand and quickly took it out of the cloth bag.
Look up and place the front of the Vajra Realm Mandala toward the mirror in front of you.
Faintly, a Buddha's light burst out, and a golden barrier extended from the Vajra Realm Mandala in Horii Suzune's hand.
Various squares and circles continuously emerged from the Vajra Realm Mandala in her hand and floated in front of Horii Suzune.
Golden lines interweave between the squares and circles, transforming into Vajra Buddha statues.
At close range, the evil ghost, unable to withstand the Buddha's power, let out a shrill scream.
All the light bulbs in the bathroom exploded at this moment.
The evil ghost was also shocked and flew back into the mirror. The originally smooth and intact mirror surface now had several cracks on it.
Is this the power of the Vajra Realm Mandala? Horii Suzune's naked eyes could not see the golden barrier in front of her, she could only vaguely feel that there was a warm and bright force in front of her protecting her.
And a conflict had just broken out, otherwise the light bulb would not have exploded for no reason, and the mirror would not have cracked for no reason.
In the mirror, the figure of the evil ghost had become much dimmer and smaller than before.
At this moment, he was curled up in the corner of the mirror, not daring to move at all.
How to subdue evil spirits and liberate them?
Horii Suzune thought for a while and pulled out the entire Vajra Realm Mandala from the cloth bag.
Put the phone aside, hold a corner of the Vajra Realm Mandala with each hand, face the mirror, and then slowly cover it on the mirror in front of you.
The evil ghost in the mirror had eyes full of horror. In its field of vision, the golden Buddha wall was approaching its hiding place little by little.
The only wisdom it had told it that if it continued to wait like this, it would definitely be completely liberated, and not even a trace of its soul would be left.
It gathered all its strength, bypassed the coverage of the Vajra Realm Mandala, and launched a sneak attack on Horii Suzune outside the mirror from the other corner of the mirror.
At this moment, Horii Suzune's shoulders felt slightly hot, and a golden Buddha's palm as big as a palm-leaf fan stretched out, grabbed the evil ghost's head that was sticking out of the mirror, and pulled it gently, just like pulling a carrot, pulling out its entire body by the roots.
Then, the Buddha's palm, with its body, slammed heavily towards the golden Buddha wall in front.
Golden light burst out, and the evil ghost's body completely melted away.
As the evil ghosts dissipated, the golden Buddha wall formed by the Buddha's palm and the Vajra Realm Mandala also slowly disappeared without a trace.
Is this the end?
Horii Suzune sensed something and lifted up the Vajra Realm Mandala that was pasted on the mirror.
There was no trace of the evil ghost in the mirror.
It's all over.
Isn't this too fast?
Is it that simple to exorcise evil spirits?
Horii Suzune always felt that she didn't seem to have done anything except taking out the Vajra Realm Mandala.
Become the Jinchūriki of the Vajra Realm Mandala?
Is this my only contribution?
Well, anyway, my first exorcism was successful.
……
In the birthday party hall, on the stage, Fujiwara Kaori, who was leading the singing and dancing, suddenly let out a violent, terrifying, almost crazy scream.
The scream was amplified exponentially by the microphone in her hand.
Many people who were listening with fascination quickly covered their ears with their hands, and some were so scared that they fell to the ground.
The scene was once very chaotic.
"My face, how could it be like this..."
"no, I can not!"
"I also want to become the most beautiful celebrity in Japan..."
Kaori Fujiwara threw away the microphone in her hand, covered her cheeks with her hands, and blood kept dripping from her face.
The performers who were closer to Fujiwara Kaori could see more clearly at this moment.
Fujiwara Kaori's originally flawless face now looked like a melted candle, with blood mixed with flesh continuously sliding down her face.
Although Fujiwara Kaori tried her best to cover it up, it was of no use.
The melting perfect face is just like her inner world which is constantly collapsing at this moment.
Amid the horrified and panicked gazes of the crowd, Fujiwara Kaori covered her face and ran towards the ladies' room on the right like a madman.
No, I have just become the most sought-after celebrity artist in the agency.
My career has just started.
But why did it suddenly become like this?
Who harmed me!
When Horii Suzune, who was walking towards the banquet hall, saw Fujiwara Kaori again, her pupils suddenly shrank and she subconsciously hid behind Hiramiya Chiya.
At this moment, Fujiwara Kaori's appearance was even scarier than the evil ghost in the mirror just now! Even more terrifying!
