As for Koizumi Akako, she hid under the covers early on, not wanting to be force-fed dog food by the unbridled display of affection.
Although the old monk only provided three rooms and three meals a night, he still provided enough bedding.
After Sherry and Akemi went to sleep, Izuki Karuta left only one candle in the room and then lay down on the bedding to doze off.
The divine sense continuously scanned the temple, observing all movements.
I discovered a young monk making some plans...
However, since the plan had nothing to do with Itsuki Karuta and the others, they did not continue to pay attention to it.
Now, Sherry, Minmei, and Vermouth all have 65,000 units of malevolent energy, totaling nearly 200,000.
The malevolent aura emanating from the four young monks had reached its peak after repeated failures, totaling 40.
Adding Koizumi Akako's 10 units of malevolent energy, the total is 70.
Absorbing this 70 units of malevolent energy now would be a considerable gain.
However, the demon was well hidden, and its malevolent energy originated from the same source.
Izuki Shigeta's divine sense was unable to detect the location of the demon.
Absorbing it rashly will only alert the evil spirit, who might withdraw all its malevolent energy midway and escape.
We need to lure the evil spirits into taking the initiative.
To this end, Izumi Karuta deliberately caused Koizumi Akako to sprain her ankle.
However, it was indeed an accident that Koizumi Akako pounced on him.
"Hey... wake up..."
At 11:45 p.m., Koizumi Akako's voice rang in my ears:
"I need to go to the restroom."
"It's inconvenient because of my sprained ankle."
"You...stay with me..."
Koizumi Akako climbed up to Itake Karuta and whispered something.
I should have gone to the bathroom before going to bed; I wouldn't be in such a hurry to pee now.
Moreover, there seemed to be some strange footsteps in the temple during that half hour.
Koizumi Akako is already suspecting that the evil spirits are preparing to take action.
"Be patient."
Izuki Shizuta replied in a low voice.
It's almost midnight, the time of day when the yin energy is at its strongest.
Once the evil spirit realizes that ordinary people cannot defeat it, it will likely reveal itself.
Izuki Karuta didn't want to leave the room right now.
"I've been holding back for half an hour, 327."
"Stop arguing and take me there now!"
"Otherwise, otherwise..."
Koizumi Akako bit her lip.
"What else can you do?" Izuki Qingtian glanced at him.
Koizumi Akako blushed slightly: "Otherwise, I'll tell them."
"When I collapsed on top of you earlier, your heart was racing!"
"They'll be jealous then, let's see when you can fall asleep!"
I never expected Koizumi Akako to use something like this to threaten me.
This left Izuki Karita somewhat helpless.
After a moment's thought, Izuki Karuta picked up Koizumi Akako and led her toward the restroom.
There were no electric lights, and the whole way was very dark.
Only the candle held by Koizumi Akako emitted a dim, yellowish light.
There's a candle that stays lit at night near the bathroom entrance, making it easy to spot.
Izumi Karuta stood guard outside the door while Koizumi Akako went in to relieve herself.
"Hey, you're still outside, right?"
Koizumi Akako would ask a question every now and then.
"Don't you call yourself a witch?"
"Why are you so timid?"
Itake Karuta inquired.
"It's just that we know ghosts and monsters really exist."
That's why I'm scared!
"And those things love to come out in the dark!"
Koizumi Akako said it as a matter of course.
This reason left Izuki Karuda speechless.
was saying,
A gust of wind blew in and extinguished the candles by the bathroom door.
The candles in the restroom were also extinguished at the same time.
"what--!!!"
A scream erupted from the restroom belonging to Akako Koizumi.
Chapter 140 Forced to Prove to Hongzi that it was him
There was a loud bang as the door was slammed shut.
There was another person in Izuki Shizuta's arms.
"Are you a witch?"
"Can't you at least calm down?"
Izumi Karuta began to have serious doubts about Koizumi Akako's professionalism.
"I, I am..."
"I did it to save you!"
Koizumi Akako asserted matter-of-factly, "Haven't you noticed? We're no longer in the same place!"
While talking,
Izumi Karuta noticed that Koizumi Akako was hugging him tighter, and his heart raced.
He was clearly afraid.
As for the current situation, Izuki Karuda is also well aware of it.
As the candles went out, the evil spirits used their malevolent energy to create a completely dark labyrinth.
No matter which way you go in this maze, you can only return to the starting point; every path is a dead end.
But the evil spirit still did not appear.
It seems they wanted to keep him and Koizumi Akako trapped until midnight.
There are only ten minutes left until midnight.
Izuki Karuta wasn't sure if the demon had discovered anything.
Otherwise, why do something like this at such a delicate moment?
"Miss Akako is joking, isn't she?"
"I've been standing still the whole time."
"This is the entrance to the restroom."
Izuki Shizuta pretended not to know the situation.
Then, a ball of light condensed at Koizumi Akako's fingertip, illuminating the surroundings.
It illuminated the labyrinth, which was surrounded by darkness.
"Now you should believe me!"
"We have been targeted by evil spirits."
"This is a labyrinthine illusion created by condensing evil energy."
