Chapter 580: 198. Visitor from Yomi Country_2
Kasahara Asuka squinted her eyes involuntarily, "Wasn’t Rashomon sealed? How did you Yomi Country dead people appear?"
"Oh, it’s a pretty girl..." The ghost woman chuckled.
"Don’t block the way." Kasahara Asuka said impatiently.
"That won’t do, you still have to taste the scalding copper juice before I let you go." The ghost woman smiled slightly.
"Let me make you die once more."
Kasahara Asuka reached into her pocket.
Divine Power is the best thing to deal with ghosts, any Spirit Talisman thrown out can take her life.
However.
The girl rummaged in her pocket for a moment, her face stiffening.
The Spirit Talisman and Magic Artifacts were all in the drawer... She had gone out just to find something to eat, who would remember to bring those things.
"Hehe, so it’s a confused little sister..." The ghost woman’s pretty face bloomed with a bright smile, her body pouncing in midair, "Don’t run, come play with your big sister~"
Pouncing midair, she transformed into a red-eyed blue demon.
Her whole body exuded a stench of rot.
Kasahara Asuka clenched her fist, ready for a hand-to-hand fight.
"Miss, dodge quickly!"
A rocket launcher sound came from behind.
Relying on her intuition, Kasahara Asuka’s body flashed, directly crashing into a room on one side to hide. Moments later, a tearing sound swept through the air, and the explosion boomed through the entire corridor.
The smoke filled the air, the door frame deformed.
"Cough, cough~"
Kasahara Asuka peeked her soot-covered head out of the room.
The ghost woman from earlier had already been blasted into a puddle of black sludge by the Divine Power-imbued rocket blast. However, in the mist, there were more ghosts manifesting.
Two Nine-section agents holding heavy weapons fired to cover, one agent rushed forward to pull Kasahara Asuka back. Amidst gunfire and explosions, one pressed the intercom: "Captain, calling captain—"
Moments later, Kasahara Fumi’s voice came over the intercom.
"What’s the situation?"
"We found the young lady, and also, Yomi Country’s forces have appeared..."
Hearing this news, Kasahara Fumi’s heart sank, ordering: "Plan your route well, cover Xiangxiang to Chairman Kasahara’s side or come to me."
"Roger that!"
The communication was cut off.
Soon after, the white mist rolled in.

In the utility room, Kawashima Miki had just finished tidying her clothes, putting on high heels.
Outside, continuous explosions and gunfire, Fujiwara Reya’s hearing was fully activated. In the sound-constructed world, he could sense that intense battles were happening on the lower levels of the cruise ship, and there were also skirmishes in the corridors on both sides of the ship’s hull.
In the faint distance, he could also hear human voices.
"Not good, the first line of defense has been breached..."
"Hurry up and move upwards!"
"Something’s wrong, these things aren’t right..."
"The white mist, that white mist!"
"It’s ghosts!"
Ghosts?
Fujiwara Reya frowned.
Vengeful spirits?
"Where do we go now?" Kawashima Miki asked standing at the door.
"To Chairman Kasahara..."
Fujiwara Reya had just spoken halfway, and an extremely faint voice echoed in his ear.
"Miss, be careful..."
It was Xiangxiang.
A flash of his junior’s image went through his mind, and Fujiwara Reya rushed out of the room in one step, running towards where his junior was located.
At this moment, the cruise ship had become a complete mess, the corridors were in utter disorder.
Tables, chairs, utensils, food everywhere, most doors and windows were deformed, shattered glass was scattered all over the ground. Broken wires sparked in the darkness, emitting a "zzz" sound of electricity.
Fujiwara Reya rounded a corner.
Kawashima Miki stuck close, running in high heels which was quite difficult.
This corridor had countless bullet holes on the walls on both sides, but not a trace of blood. As Fujiwara Reya ran, he suddenly braked sharply, and a corpse in a Nine-section uniform tumbled down from above.
There was a hole in his forehead.
Oddly, there wasn’t a drop of blood flowing from the wound.
Fujiwara Reya crouched down, touched him, the body was still warm.
"The blood’s been drained." Kawashima Miki said with a frown.
Fujiwara Reya nodded.
"Zzz~"
Sound came from the walkie-talkie on the corpse’s chest.
"Kubo, report your position."
"Repeat, report your position."
"Hello?"
Fujiwara Reya picked up the walkie-talkie: "He’s dead."
Opposite, Kasahara Fumi took a breath, calmly saying: "Find Xiangxiang and protect her."
"I’ll contact you later." Fujiwara Reya cut off the communication, carefully moved the body to the nearest room to avoid trampling, picked up the walkie-talkie, and continued forward following the sound ahead.
※※※※※
Blood, death, fear... Surrounded by the white mist, only one of the three Nine-section agents remained.
Finally, they encountered a small team halfway, but more white mist also spread over, and various unimaginable monsters appeared one after another from the white mist, the fighting Nine-section agents kept falling.
Sometimes sharp angles stabbed from various directions, sometimes silky tentacles set secret traps, sometimes there were foul-smelling bloody mouths. Often when no one anticipated, the person trailing at the forefront or the last of the team would suddenly spew blood and die convulsively. Shocked and grieved, the Nine-section agents carried out a difficult and inefficient counterattack.
Kasahara Asuka was protected in the middle.
Each ghost attack inevitably led to someone falling, no one could ensure their own safety.
They hurriedly crossed a large door, entering the back kitchen of the restaurant, in the darkness, the tiny echoes of their hasty footsteps seemed particularly desolate. Surrounded by heavy darkness, fear was almost an instinctive response.
