Chapter 450: Chapter 301: Departure (4000 words)

Time had flown by, and soon it was April 30th.

In fact, Yamanashi Prefecture wasn’t particularly far from Tokyo. How close, exactly? A rapid train could get you there in about fifty minutes and even taking a coach would only require an hour and fifty minutes to reach the destination.

Yamanashi Prefecture also boasted various beautiful attractions.

The so-called "Mount Fuji Five Lakes" was located in Yamanashi Prefecture and had long been a famous site in Japan.

Thus, numerous campsites had sprung up there, and now was the perfect season for tourism, camping, and sightseeing. Coupled with the additional draw of Golden Week, the local guesthouse rooms were all fully booked.

If Tanaka Takashi and his group hadn’t pulled some strings to reserve three rooms in advance, Beichuan Si and his party might have had to consider spending the night on the streets.

"Brother Temple! Brother Temple, look quickly! Mount Fuji! Mount Fuji has got its hat on!" Beichuan Hui Li leaned against the car window, her face alight with excitement.

"Hmm," Beichuan Si nodded, glancing at the view of Mount Fuji, "Indeed, it’s pretty nice."

No wonder so many people in Japan liked to leave poems praising Mount Fuji. Even seen from the narrow window of the vehicle, it looked exceptionally beautiful.

After disembarking at Lake Kawaguchi Station, Beichuan Si handed the luggage of Beichuan Hui Li and Nakajima Michika to them and instructed, "You two go ahead, and don’t cause trouble for anyone, especially you, Nakajima. Be mindful of your influence and try not to draw attention."

"I know, I know! Do you think I’m a child? I’m older than you, Beichuan," Nakajima Michika waved her hand dismissively, irritation in her tone.

She was now in her typical disguise for going out.

Wearing large sunglasses, her hair tucked under a hat, her sleek neck exposed, she had the air of a cosmopolitan woman—if you ignored the large face mask.

Beichuan Si couldn’t be bothered to entertain Nakajima Michika’s comments. This pop diva often engaged in nonsensical actions, and her assurances were something Beichuan Si seldom took to heart.

The trio walked a bit further and soon saw Otomoto Ai and her group at the exit.

"Go ahead," Beichuan Si patted their shoulders.

"Okay! See you in a few days, Brother Temple! Don’t worry!" Beichuan Hui Li waved at Beichuan Si.

Then... as Beichuan Si watched Beichuan Hui Li waving one hand while dragging her suitcase and bumping into a nearby load-bearing column, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

Honestly, if it weren’t for having urgent matters to attend to here, he would definitely have accompanied them.

These two were sources of unease from any and every angle.

After seeing off the two, Beichuan Si pulled out his phone and checked the message on LINE.

The meeting point was a guesthouse near Jishi Park, where Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu had already arrived.

"Then I should get going as well," Beichuan Si muttered to himself and walked toward another exit.

Following the directions provided by the navigation, Beichuan Si took a bus and finally arrived at the inn mentioned by Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu after about half an hour.

As soon as he alighted, Yamakou Hideyasu and Tanaka Takashi greeted him, "Mr. Beichuan, you’ve finally arrived. Everyone’s here now."

"Let’s go," Beichuan Si nodded and, slinging his travel pack over his shoulder, followed Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu.

Led by Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu, Beichuan Si quickly got the accommodation sorted and made his way to the large room.

Tanaka Takashi and Yamakou Hideyasu had booked three rooms in total—one small room and two large ones.

The small room was no doubt for Gongben Naoki, while Beichuan Si shared a room with Hobu Tian.

Once Beichuan Si had settled down, the gazes of everyone turned towards him, their eyes wide with curiosity:

"What should we do now?"

None of them had any experience in exorcism, and naturally, they were all clueless, pushing the responsibility to Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si was unfazed and, putting down the travel bag, simply said, "First, let me check what preparations you have made."

"I bought an exorcism talisman!"

"I heard this evil warding prayer bead is very effective..."

"I secretly cut off a section of the shimenawa that isolates external forces from the shrine..."

At first, everything seemed normal, but as the suggestions continued, they became less serious, making Beichuan Si raise an eyebrow involuntarily.

The table in front of them was laid with various items.

Prayer beads, talismans, peace charms, the severed shimenawa...

There was even one who had boldly brought out a Buddha statue.

Beichuan Si glanced briefly at the assortment, then withdrew his gaze, his tone slightly odd, "Doesn’t anyone buy practical things like flashlights or folding shovels?"

"A folding shovel? Flashlights?"

They looked at one another, puzzled.

How materialistic!

Aren’t spiritual entities supposed to be about idealism?

We’re discussing exorcism, and you’re talking about embracing science?

Seeing their confused faces, Beichuan Si rubbed his temples and calmly said, "First off, these items... I can’t say they’re useless, but given the level of the resentful spirit we’re dealing with this time, prayer beads, talismans, and peace charms... they’re all ineffective."

Indeed, he didn’t know where these amateur ghost hunters had sourced their supposedly powerful items—these prayer beads, talismans, peace charms were indeed entwined with some traces of faint golden benevolence.

However, that faint hint of benevolence... Beichuan Si felt that he merely needed to release a whiff of his own upgraded death energy to completely snuff it out.
