Chapter 022: Summoning the Demon

After Meng Bo fell silent, Wang Bo turned his gaze once again to Imamura Kiyoko's face. "The code name Fox Demon doesn't necessarily mean a seductive fox spirit; it could also be a Qingqiu fox that has possessed Su Daji's body, wouldn't you say?"

The other party closed her eyes, unwilling to answer Wang Bo's question.

Wang Bo continued, "I'll ask you once more: where is Miss Imamura Kiyoko?"

The other party remained silent.

Meng Bo said anxiously, "What do we do now?"

Wang Bo said, "No need to worry. I have a way."

A mocking smile involuntarily appeared on Imamura Kiyoko's face.

Wang Bo raised his right hand, grabbed Imamura Kiyoko's head, and a surge of powerful magic instantly pierced through her brain, penetrating deep into her mind.

Ever since the incident with Himiko, Wang Bo had realized that he should learn some soul-related techniques, at least enough to distinguish the fluctuations of a soul.

That was also why, upon seeing Imamura Kiyoko, he immediately discerned that her soul had been swapped.

Because the other party's soul fluctuations were incompatible with her body, unable to merge perfectly.

Thus, Wang Bo saw through Imamura Kiyoko's trick.

What he intended to do now was to pull the soul inside Imamura Kiyoko's body out. Since learning this spell, Wang Bo had only experimented on small animals, never on humans.

Imamura Kiyoko would be the first.

As the magic delved deeper, Wang Bo quickly found the alien soul hiding within Imamura Kiyoko's body.

The next second, the magic, like a large net, swept toward that soul.

Imamura Kiyoko's face changed drastically, as if she wanted to struggle. But unfortunately, it was useless. The sea of consciousness, neither too large nor too small, made finding a soul not particularly difficult.

After several casts, Wang Bo's magic net easily caught the alien soul.

Then, Wang Bo began to pull outward with force.

Since it was his first experiment on a human, his technique was inevitably somewhat rough, and Imamura Kiyoko involuntarily let out a hysterical scream.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

There was no help for it; this kind of soul pain was more unbearable than any physical torture, for the soul is a very delicate existence.

Without the protection of the body, it cannot even stay outside for long. So the pain of a wounded soul transcends the human classification of pain levels. What are twelve levels of pain? In matters of the soul, they are utterly insignificant.

Fortunately, Wang Bo had prepared in advance and set up a barrier, so no one outside the car could hear any screams.

"Spare me, please spare me, ahhhhh!"

As a result, before Wang Bo could even pull the soul out of Imamura Kiyoko's body, the other party completely caved.

Wang Bo sneered and did not stop.

When I asked you to speak earlier, you wouldn't. Begging for mercy now is a bit too late. Wang Bo planned to pull the soul out and interrogate it slowly.

He wanted to know more about Hades.

Seeing that Wang Bo had no intention of letting it go, the soul inside Imamura Kiyoko's body, while screaming in agony, seemed to make a decision, shouting angrily between screams.

"You forced me to, you forced me to..."

Wang Bo raised an eyebrow and looked seriously at the soul that had taken over Imamura Kiyoko's body. Could this guy have some other trick up his sleeve?

At that moment, the soul suddenly began chanting obscure and mysterious incantations—praises to demons, spells to summon them. A wave of obscure energy emanated from the soul, and then it began to burn.

Wang Bo realized in an instant: this was a sacrifice.

This guy had sacrificed his own soul to summon a demon.

Wang Bo immediately thought of Nakazato Takeshi.

That skeleton knight was actually Nakazato Takeshi, who had sacrificed his soul at the moment of death to summon a demon.

As the soul burned, Wang Bo saw a man inside Imamura Kiyoko's body shouting in panic, "How can this be? How can this be? You tricked me, you tricked me..."

The next second, his soul was burned to ashes.

Or rather, completely sacrificed.

Imamura Kiyoko closed her eyes and slumped limply in her chair. Having lost her soul, she had neither inner nor outer self; from a medical perspective, she was a vegetable.

Sagami Saeko looked at the unconscious Imamura Kiyoko and couldn't help asking, "What exactly happened?"

The clash between souls was not something an ordinary person like her could see.

What she saw was Wang Bo grabbing Imamura Kiyoko's head with his hand, pulling at something, and then Imamura Kiyoko suddenly closed her eyes and fell unconscious.

There was no music or special effects; the two of them looked like they were acting.

And a mime show at that.

Meng Bo was also concerned, after all, this matter involved his one-million-dollar bonus.

Wang Bo said, "The soul inside Imamura Kiyoko sacrificed itself using a special method, attempting to summon a demon to descend upon the human world."

"What? A demon?" Sagami Saeko was taken aback. "Wasn't this guy a follower of Hades? Why is he suddenly involved with demons?"

Wang Bo said, "I'm actually curious about that too."

At the same time, a wave of obscure energy was released from Imamura Kiyoko's body. Wang Bo saw a powerful surge of magic coming from the void, entering Imamura Kiyoko's body and beginning to transform it.

Seeing this, Wang Bo understood.

That soul had indeed summoned a demon after sacrificing itself.

But this demon was a bit cowardly; it didn't descend directly but used its power to transform Imamura Kiyoko's body into a suitable vessel for its descent.

Wang Bo naturally wouldn't let the demon succeed and unhesitatingly confronted it.

The Key of Solomon detailed the seventy-two pillars of demons and the abilities of many demons, including methods for summoning and exorcising them.

Moreover, Wang Bo had many demons under his command and could definitely be considered an expert on demons. Coupled with his own strength, he had no fear of demons below the level of a demon lord.

Facing this demon that had not yet descended, Wang Bo didn't flinch. He directly severed the connection between Imamura Kiyoko and the demon, expelling the power that had invaded her body.

This action undoubtedly angered the demon that had been trying to descend through Imamura Kiyoko.

A demon's desire for the human world is like a human's pursuit of money—it's ingrained in their bones.

Wang Bo's destruction was, to the demon, a grave offense.
