I have found out your real name

Chapter 34

It is said that Tengu was once created as an enemy of Buddha.

The flying Yaksha and the demon Hashun, who were once hostile to Buddhism, both had a history of being called Tengu.

However, with the evolution and integration of mythology, a sectarian belief called Shugendo was born on the land of Sakurajima, which was a fusion of Shingon Buddhism, Tendai Buddhism and local Shintoism.

Shugendo practitioners who believe in this belief are collectively called "Yamabushi", that is, those who have obtained the magical method and go to the mountains to practice hard.

Obviously, there is a certain overlap between the image of this type of practitioner and the prototype of the Tengu, and even the rise of Shugendo has adversely affected the legend of the Tengu.

In the end, the tengu, who was originally against the Buddha and was fierce and violent, turned into a protector mountain god holding a feather fan, wearing wooden clogs on his feet, and waving a diamond staff to protect the Buddha's Dharma.

In the extraordinary world, legends have their own meaning. From a mystical perspective, the delusion-breaking power from Fudo Myooh controlled by Li Wu is exerting a restraint on the Tengu.

Therefore, he first used words to confuse the enemy's mind, and then seized the opportunity for the opponent to attack with all his strength, and uncovered the trump card hidden until the end.

As if the myth was reenacted, the tengu who was about to take out Li Wu's head was frightened, and his ferocious face seemed to soften a little in an instant, becoming closer to a human image.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Wu to transform the monster into a protector on the spot, but the moment of freezing was fatal.

Before the crowbar fragments were cut and thrown into the air, the fist wrapped in flames had penetrated the Tengu's chest, igniting the wrathful flames inside with all its strength!

The smell of burning and bits of fire emanated from the wound. Even a cat demon with nine lives would probably die from such injuries.

Knowing that he had been defeated, Tengu's expression calmed down. He lowered his head and looked at Li Wu: "The victory has been decided. I lost."

Li Wu withdrew his fist, and the body of the monster in front of him gradually began to collapse under the erosion of the power of expelling evil.

He turned back into a human, with a face that was supposed to be exactly the same as Takehiko Nagai's. He looked down at his dissipating body and the looming black ball of flesh with orange eyes blinking in his body.

The Tengu who folded his wings finally showed a wry smile: "You are right, I am not Nagai Takehiko. Even if she heard some nonsense about playing with dolls and thought that I just lost most of my memory, in time I can be the same as before. It’s impossible for me to meet this expectation.”

"Please end me completely, just like my friend, just like Ochiai wants to do. Even if I survive, I am just a puppet controlled by others, and one day I will cause greater damage."

He put down the arrogance of Tengu and asked Li Wu.

Nodding, Li Wu lit a cluster of flames at his fingertips and pressed towards the exposed negative realm monster.

In the small sizzling sound, the black eyeball turned into a ball of charcoal.

The Tengu also completely turned into ashes along with the sword in his hand.

Only a piece of black feather was left, dangling from the sky.

Li Wu caught it, feeling the familiar power surging from his body every time he defeated a monster.

Ignoring collecting the dismembered crowbar remains, he ran towards the courtyard of the hot spring hotel.

When they arrived at the scene, they found that the puppet master had been choked by Ochiai and pinned to the ground.

Her body turned into the same mercury-like material as the doll destroyed by Li Wu, with a layer of frost covering it, restricting its movement.

When she met Aoi Hoshikawa who was rushing out, she stopped the car in surprise.

"Has classmate Li Wu already defeated the enemy? So quickly?!"

"It's my victory, so you should be responsible for cheering."

"Classmate Li Wu has grown to this point, wow, wow, I'm so happy."

Hoshikawa Aoi wiped away the non-existent tears.

"Are you my mother?! And don't forget that I also solved the problem of Prajna Ghost myself!"

Although there is another enemy on the field, he automatically enters the crosstalk mode when he encounters this guy. Why is this?

Judging from the marks on the puppet master's body, the snow girl also made her own choice.

"Oh my, I remember, isn't the Tengu a big monster in the legend? It's so useless if it can't defeat high school students or anything like that."

Although her neck was strangled, the puppet master was still able to speak freely. When she saw Li Wu walking in from the punctured wall, she maliciously said to the snow girl who was standing quietly aside: "The hope of my husband's resurrection has been lost." Was it killed?"

By the way, probably because of the trick of turning into wind and snow to withstand attacks a few times in the battle that just ended, the appearance of the boss lady has shrunk to that of a primary school student.

Yuki-onna shook her head: "Takehiko will never kill his friends, even if the other party wants to kill him. That's just a... fake created by you."

The admission made her frown sadly.

"Stop talking, Yuki-onna. Let me kill her."

Ochiai increased the strength on his hand.

"Wait a minute, do you mind if I ask you a question first?"

Li Wu quickly interrupted him. He finally encountered a character who was suspected to be related to the core of a series of events. Of course, he could not let go easily.

Ochiai glanced at him and snorted: "Of course I don't mind, Detective-kun."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't ignore other people's thoughts. Instead of being interrogated, I might as well die."

The puppet master laughed sarcastically, and a layer of complex runes suddenly appeared on his mercury-colored skin.

"It's some kind of self-destruction technique. It's too late for classmate Li Wu."

Hoshikawa Aoi seemed to recognize the meaning of the runes, and her expression changed.

Her body lit up with a fiery light, forcing Ochiai to loosen his grip and retreat.

She was clearly heading towards death, but she was still smiling happily, and the spiritual heterogeneity revealed in her made people shiver.

"Ah hahaha, just rack your brains and think about boring questions like which organization I am from and what my purpose is. I will appreciate your troubled expressions in the afterlife, okay?"

Li Wu walked closer and asked, "Is the Guiyi Hui the organization you belong to?"

The question cut off the other person's laughter like a choked duck.

"Wait a minute, how did you know this name? This is unreasonable and no one should have leaked it. Tell me, who did you hear this name from?!"

Li Wu shrugged: "Afraid? Who told you to choose suicide? Otherwise we would still have a lot of time to chat. Just rack your brains and think about how I found out the true name of your organization. I will live In the human world, can you occasionally imagine your crazy expression?"

Just as the puppet master had time to show off his angry face, his body had already turned into a puddle of solution under the influence of the runes, and he just drove away with a look on his face.

"Occasionally I feel that there are some twisted elements in Li Wu's character."

The magical girl looked at him sideways.

"But the reunion will be...?"

Li Wu signaled her to talk later, and just as he was about to discuss the aftermath with the other two people, another angry voice suddenly rang out: "Everyone, don't you have any concept of obeying the law in your eyes?"
