The moonlight was hazy, but I could still make out who it was—Yamamoto Taro!
What was he doing here in the middle of the night? I remained hidden in the corner, curious to see what he was searching for in this old building.
“Who’s there?” Yamamoto Taro asked warily.
I thought he had spotted me and hesitated, unsure whether to reveal myself.
“Matsushima Kazumi exclaimed in surprise, “Master, what are you doing here?”
Yamamoto Taro looked at her with suspicion. “Kazumi, how did you end up here? And who is that behind you?”
With that, he began to form hand seals and chant a spell, preparing to confront Matsushima Naoko.
Matsushima Kazumi stepped forward with her arms outstretched, shouting, “Master, please stop! She is the spirit of my grandmother. I came here to bring her back home!”
Only then did Yamamoto Taro break off his incantation. “Is it really that simple?”
Kazumi replied coldly, “This is also my father’s dying wish. I hope you can grant it!”
Matsushima Naoko floated closer to Yamamoto Taro. “When did the Yamamoto family become so rude?” she asked.
“And you are?” Yamamoto Taro inquired.
Naoko responded, “During the war years, I came here with Commander Yamamoto and never returned!”
Upon hearing Matsushima Naoko's words, Yamamoto Taro stood up straight with respect and bowed deeply.
“What brings you here at this hour?” Naoko asked.
Yamamoto Taro replied, “I have come at the behest of my family to search for the long-lost Five-Pointed Star Formation!”
“Isn’t that the heirloom of the Yamamoto family—the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk?” Matsushima Naoko asked.
The Five-Pointed Star Formation can attack, reinforce seals, and summon Shikigami. It is indeed a remarkable artifact.
Yamamoto Taro exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, you actually know so much about it?"
Matsushima Naoko smiled and replied, "The treasures of the Yamamoto Family are known throughout J Country. After all, that is the foundation upon which the Yamamoto Family was built."
Yamamoto Taro respectfully asked, "May I ask if you have ever seen this thing during your many years here?"
Matsushima Naoko shook her head and said, "I have been here both in life and after death, but I have not seen your artifact. Could there be a mistake in the information?"
"That cannot be! This time it was calculated with great effort by the high priest of the Yamamoto Family, risking his life to do so. There is absolutely no mistake," Yamamoto Taro asserted confidently.
Matsushima Naoko looked puzzled as well. Having been here for many years, she was intimately familiar with every corner of this place; there was no reason she wouldn't have noticed it if it truly existed here.
Yamamoto Taro's expression changed suddenly as he anxiously asked, "Senior, what you just said means that after you died, you were trapped here and could not go anywhere, right?"
Matsushima Naoko nodded, looking at the seemingly frantic Yamamoto Taro with confusion.
"I understand now! I understand! If it weren't for the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk being here, how could you be trapped? It must be like this; it has to be!" Yamamoto Taro laughed and cried alternately, pacing back and forth like a madman.
Matsushima Kazumi also became excited. "If we find the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk, will you be able to leave!"
Only I felt a sense of gloom. What kind of place do we think this is? You can just come and go as you please? Take it back so you can come back and harm our country again?
Regardless of various motives, I cannot allow Yamamoto Taro to take back this so-called powerful array disk.
However, I had already searched the entire old building and found nothing.
"Master, please hurry and perform a spell to retrieve the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk! That way I can fulfill my father's last wish and bring Grandma back home!" Matsushima Kazumi urged while tugging at Yamamoto Taro's sleeve.
Suddenly, Yamamoto Taro looked at Matsushima Kazumi with shining eyes and tightly embraced her in his arms.
The mouth was incessantly nibbling at Matsushima Kazumi's face. Matsushima Kazumi seemed startled, momentarily forgetting to fight back, only shouting "Yama Die" in her mouth.
I only understand J Country language; the rest is beyond me. However, I can still comprehend "Yama Die" and a few other phrases.
Matsushima Naoko angrily exclaimed, "What do you want, you beast?"
Yamamoto Taro chuckled, "Of course, I'm here to save you!"
He then buried his head in the crook of Matsushima Kazumi's neck, his hands starting to tear at her clothes.
Matsushima Kazumi bit down on Yamamoto Taro's ear, causing him to howl in pain and step back a few paces.
He then glared fiercely and said, "Aren't you trying to save your grandmother? Aren't you fulfilling your father's dying wish? The Yamamoto Family has a natural connection to the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk. But the array has been outside for many years now, and the connection has weakened significantly. Only during times of heavy Yin energy can it be activated through union with a maiden, which will enhance my connection with the array. Only by finding the array can you hope to achieve your purpose for coming here. Everything depends on whether you are willing!"
Tears streamed down Matsushima Kazumi's face as she clutched her clothes tightly. Matsushima Naoko anxiously urged, "Kazumi, please don't agree to him! You mustn't!"
Before she could finish her sentence, a talisman thrown by Yamamoto Taro sealed her words.
Matsushima Kazumi looked tearfully at Matsushima Naoko, who was suspended in mid-air, and then nodded.
Yamamoto Taro rubbed his hands together lewdly and said, "Kazumi, Master will take good care of you!"
With her eyes closed, Matsushima Kazumi resignedly gave up struggling.
I couldn't believe it—was I really going to witness a live performance of a spring palace scene right before my eyes?
I had only seen such things on DVDs before; I had never witnessed it in real life.
Although I didn't know if Yamamoto Taro's words were true or not, I couldn't take that risk.
If he took away the so-called Five-Pointed Star Array Disk tonight, wouldn't I become a sinner?
I let out a loud shout and then walked down from the second floor. Yamamoto Taro paused his hands that were unbuckling his belt, his face showing impatience and anger as if disturbed from something good. "Ling Sang, what are you doing here?"
"It’s a long night, and I couldn’t sleep, so I took a walk and ended up here. What’s the problem? Mr. Yamamoto isn’t resting at the hotel; why did you come here?" I retorted.
Yamamoto Taro smiled sinisterly, "Since you’ve already eavesdropped from the shadows, why ask questions you already know the answers to?"
As I descended the stairs, I also released Matsushima Naoko's seal. At that moment, Matsushima Naoko floated over to Matsushima Kazumi. "Kazumi, if this is how I can return to my homeland, I would rather not go!"
I chuckled, "It seems tonight's plans are falling through. Mr. Yamamoto, why not bring another one tomorrow? After all, this Five-Pointed Star Array Disk isn’t going anywhere!"
Yamamoto Taro replied with a grin, "I know a saying: only the dead keep secrets. So Ling Sang doesn’t need to leave tonight."
With the conversation reaching this point, I directly brandished the Ruyi Stick and made my move first. Yamamoto Taro formed hand seals, and suddenly a gust of wind appeared as a massive Phantom blocked my path, its enormous claws gripping my Ruyi Stick tightly.
Is this what they call Shikigami? It’s not much different from raising ghosts, is it?
