Listening to the words of the person from the overseas country, Jiang Wen looked at the men in black chasing after him.
He walked to his side and casually took the round bead, feeling the old woman's soul inside, and his heart relaxed slightly.
Now that he had obtained the old woman's soul, it was time for him to return to the shrine. He didn't intend to attack Natsume this time, because someone would do it for him.
"I, I don't want this either. This isn't the life I wanted..." Natsume sobbed.
"This is your choice," Jiang Wen said. "The path you choose will determine the course of your life. The outcome is your own choice, not whether you want it or not."
"I, I don't want this either," Natsume knelt on the ground, crying with his head lowered. He knew that he could no longer escape at this moment.
After only a brief delay, those who were chasing him had already arrived.
They surrounded Natsume and began to attack amidst his desperate cries.
Jiang Wen simply watched from afar, observing everything like an invisible man.
The black-clothed men were dressed like Takenoue Hon, but their bodies were filled with a thick demonic aura. Jiang Wen was very familiar with this demonic aura, it was exactly the same as the former Akakui.
However, these people seemed to have no living souls, their bodies were empty, like zombies. They should be controlled by someone, specifically to hunt down this person named Natsume.

Although Natsume inherited Akakui's power, it was only a part of the fragments. His power was far less than that of several men in black, and he could only resist weakly.
The life-saving means from last time were gone, and he was just a weak mortal. In a sense, apart from the abilities granted by Akakui, Natsume didn't have much that exceeded ordinary people.
It was just that these abilities seemed to be restrained by others now, and it was difficult for him to use them.
The men in black pinched Natsume's hands and feet, and one of them made a claw with his hand, piercing fiercely into his abdomen.
Hearing a scream, Natsume's internal organs were pulled out by the men in black. They found something in it, confirmed it with each other, and then left.
Only Natsume was left, panting heavily, as if he was about to die at any moment.
Jiang Wen silently watched all of this, walked up to Natsume, squatted down and looked at him, and then asked, "Do you have any last words?"
"I, I miss my mom," Natsume said softly. "Can you help me tell her that I actually love her very much?"
Jiang Wen looked at it for a while, then said to Natsume, "Don't worry, I will help you deliver the message."
"Thank you," Natsume showed a relieved smile, and then slowly closed his eyes. His blood slowly spread in the underground sewer, and then merged into the sewage.
After taking one last look at this person, Jiang Wen took out his phone and called the police. This was the last thing he could do.
After all, when he saw this person, he was full of evil aura. That was the evil aura no different from a great demon, a sign of having eaten innocent people.
For this kind of person, it was already merciful that he didn't take action to solve it himself, saving people was impossible.
As for the other black-clothed puppets, Jiang Wen speculated that they should be controlled by another part of Akakui, and their appearance here was also to retrieve Akakui's shattered internal organs.
The fact that the other party could ignore his existence meant that these puppets were not communicating in real time. They had only received instructions and were just carrying out what they were told to do.
Since this was the case, Jiang Wen was not in a hurry to destroy them. He had already left marks on several of them, just wanting to see what kind of situation would eventually occur.
Akakui's main body had already died, so what if those internal organs were completely fused?
Jiang Wen looked at his hundred thousand plus merit points and couldn't help but smile.
He was preparing for something big, rather than searching for the traces of Akakui's organs little by little.
"Let me see what you can become in the end," Jiang Wen left with the round bead, and soon hurried footsteps came.
Back at the shrine, Bai Jing was lying on the ground resting. When Jiang Wen came, she sniffed the air and opened her eyes to look at him.
"Master, did you encounter Akakui's clone?"
"Yes," Jiang Wen nodded.
"Is he okay?"
"Dead."
"That's right, last time this servant accidentally let him escape with his divine power, this time he encountered Master. He certainly couldn't escape," Bai Jing nodded in agreement.
"I didn't kill him, but another half of Akakui," Jiang Wen said with a smile. "I want to see what kind of thing they can stir up in the end."
"Do you want to wipe them out in one fell swoop?" Bai Jing asked with wide eyes.
"I just want to trap them," Jiang Wen said gently. "Our visa time is running out, we have to go back in a few days, so let's speed up the pace."
"Many people will die like this," Bai Jing murmured.
"More people will survive," Jiang Wen said, then walked to the old woman, put the round bead into her mouth, and then reached out and tapped the old woman's forehead.
Kamimoto Katsura and Bai Qing watched attentively from the side, and saw the old woman's eyes twitching before long, and then she opened her eyes and looked around blankly.
"This, what's going on?" the old woman asked weakly.
"Grandma! You're awake!" Kamimoto Katsura was overjoyed and rushed up to hold the old woman, crying.
The old woman comforted her granddaughter, listening to her granddaughter's narration of everything. After hearing that Jiang Wen had saved her, she knelt on the ground and saluted him.
"Thank you, Venerable One, for saving my life," the old woman said gently.
"You should know all the conditions for me saving you," Jiang Wen said slowly, drinking tea leisurely. "The shrine worships me, and I will give protection."
"This is naturally our honor," the old woman agreed without hesitation. She looked at the unusually handsome young man in front of her, and only felt that he had an unspeakable charm.
Perhaps, this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for the Kodama Shrine. The old woman prayed sincerely in her heart.
After solving the affairs of the shrine, Jiang Wen looked at Bai Qing. The purpose of his visit this time was for this guy, after all, he was going to take her back.
Bai Qing hesitated for a while after hearing Jiang Wen's request, and then agreed. Although Kamimoto Katsura and her grandmother were very kind to her, Bai Qing still wanted to go back and see her family.
"I will come to take you away in five days, and then we will return to the country together," Jiang Wen left after saying this.
Leaving the few people in the shrine to reminisce, he and Bai Jing stood in the sky overlooking Kyoto. He could already see the thin demonic aura shrouding the entire Kyoto.
"It seems that those monsters that have fallen here will not hide for long."
"They will come out sooner or later," Jiang Wen said. "Take a look at that Wang tomorrow, don't reveal your identity first."
"This servant knows," Bai Jing said with a smile.
