"To break this barrier, you either find the core of the barrier and suppress that Evil Spirit."
Or...
You can only use pure power to forcefully break this barrier.
"Monk, this doesn't concern you, hurry up and get lost!"
A resentful voice suddenly came from behind Hayato, who turned around to look.
An Evil Spirit wearing a JK uniform, covered in blood, was staring at him with a face full of malice.
As if sensing the threat from him, the Evil Spirit did not approach, but only warned him.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This humble monk is here to deliver the layman, the layman should not be stubborn."
Hayato bowed with one hand, his expression calm.
Although it wasn't his business, whether it was for Sano Chiho's sake or for the merit of delivering the Evil Spirit.
This guy, he was going to take care of.
Seeing that he had no intention of backing down, the Evil Spirit snorted coldly.
A pool of blood spread from her feet, instantly reaching Hayato's feet.
The sticky blood was like a swamp.
Hayato's feet sank into the blood, unable to break free at all.
Just then, the Evil Spirit's figure suddenly appeared before him. Just as she was about to attack, she saw Hayato's mocking eyes.
Buzz!
Buddha light permeated, and the protective Buddha light that suddenly erupted from his kasaya directly repelled the Evil Spirit.
Retreating to the corner of the classroom, the Evil Spirit's pair of pitch-black eyes became even more ferocious.
She had completely underestimated how troublesome this Monk was.
"Stubborn!"
Hayato snorted coldly, condensing his magic power into a giant palm, which directly pressed down towards the Evil Spirit.
An Evil Spirit of this level would have given him some trouble before.
But now, his strength was far greater than before.
A mere Evil Spirit couldn't cause any waves.
Boom!
The golden great hand condensed from magic power suddenly slammed down.
However, the Evil Spirit's figure suddenly disappeared.
"Monk, you forced me!"
The voice of resentment came from behind him. Hayato turned around and saw the blood-covered Evil Spirit staring at him fiercely.
Suddenly, she extended her palm and plunged it into her own stomach.
The next second, Hayato felt a heart-wrenching pain emanating from his own stomach.
Hayato frowned. Although his body was in pain, he didn't feel any substantial damage.
"Illusion technique?"
This guy, is she underestimating him a bit too much?
Did she think a mere illusion technique could defeat him?
Hayato's expression was indifferent, and he directly flung out the Buddhist beads in his hand.
Raising one hand, he lightly shouted.
"Vajra Subduing Demons!"
The golden Buddhist beads turned into more than a dozen streams of light that shot towards every corner of the classroom.
Immediately, the entire room was enveloped in dazzling Buddha light.
The Buddha light spread indiscriminately, and the hidden Evil Spirit let out a painful wail, being directly heavily injured and revealed.
Thump, thump, thump!
Low footsteps gradually approached.
The Evil Spirit looked up and saw the black Monk's robe, and those cold eyes without any emotion.
"What other tricks do you have now?"
"If not, This humble monk will send you to be reborn as a Buddha."
Hayato looked down at the heavily injured Evil Spirit.
The life and death of this Evil Spirit were now only a thought away for him.
Their eyes met, and Hayato suddenly noticed a malicious smile on the Evil Spirit's face.
What was this guy smiling about?
Hayato couldn't help but frown.
Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Lily, what are you doing here?"
Hayato looked at the girl who suddenly appeared behind him in surprise.
When did this Woman appear?
In the instant of his daze, Hayato suddenly found that the entire classroom was filled with figures.
This is...
An illusion?
Hayato was surprised in his heart. He didn't expect this Evil Spirit to have pulled him into an illusion without a sound.
"Lily, don't just stand there, hurry up and go to class."
Just as he was thinking, the girl from before spoke again.
Lily?
Who was this Woman calling?
Hayato lowered his head to look at his hands, and was suddenly surprised to find that his Monk's robe had turned into an ordinary JK uniform.
He looked around with a look of shock and uncertainty.
Hayato saw the girl who had jumped from the building and whom he had caught.
At this moment, she was gathered with several other male and female classmates, their attitudes towards each other ambiguous, clearly indicating an unusual relationship.
Through the glass on the window, Hayato saw his current appearance.
A young girl's face.
"Hiss..."
Isn't this the appearance of that Evil Spirit?
Hayato had a strange expression.
However, compared to the ferocious and malicious face in his memory, it seemed much gentler.
Tired, timid!
Her whole body exuded a solitary aura, feeling out of place with the surrounding crowd.
A typical social anxiety personality.
Why would a girl with such a personality commit suicide?
And why would she turn into an Evil Spirit to harm others after death?
Of course, the most important question now was why he had turned into this.
"Things are getting more and more interesting~"
Hayato stroked his chin.
Although he didn't know the purpose of this Evil Spirit, he didn't mind continuing to play this game.
The class bell rang, and the surrounding students successively went downstairs to gather on the playground.
Hayato followed behind the crowd and walked out of the classroom.
The moment he walked out of the classroom, he suddenly felt a loss of control over his body.
Hayato frowned, but quickly calmed down.
If he wasn't mistaken, it should be that Evil Spirit, manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
"I'd like to see what Hayato is up to."
Crossing his arms, Hayato watched the events unfold from a bystander's perspective.
During gym class, the simple training ended.
Lily, who was sitting alone in a corner reading a book, was suddenly approached.
Hayato glanced over and had some impression of the person who approached her.
The female student named Yongmei just now was surrounded by several boys and girls, and one of them was this person.
Their relationship was close; even if they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, they were likely in a ambiguous relationship.
Lily obviously knew this and directly rejected the male student's approach.
The rejected male student left awkwardly.
However, this scene was seen by Yongmei from a distance.
After class, Lily was surrounded by Yongmei and a few other girls in the restroom, stripped naked, and had nude photos taken.
Over the next few days,
being shoved into the toilet, slapped....
Lily endured all sorts of inhumane abuse.
Finally unable to bear it, Lily secretly wrote a letter to tell her teacher, Sano Chiho.
However, not only did she not receive help from the teacher, but the letter ended up in the hands of Yongmei and the others.
As expected, Lily was beaten severely again.
Hayato looked at these scenes, his expression turning ugly.
These people's methods were even more malicious than an Evil Spirit.
He had never imagined that a group of teenage girls could display the evil in human nature so thoroughly.
However, what made him even more strange was.
Why didn't Sano Chiho help this bullied student?
Was it because she didn't dare offend Yongmei's politician Father?
From Lily's memories, he learned that the Father of the female student named Yongmei was a government official.
And his status was very high; even the principal didn't dare offend him.
However, based on his understanding of Sano Chiho, even if she didn't dare intervene in this matter, she wouldn't have handed the letter to Yongmei.
After all, if that were the case, how would she be different from an accomplice?
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding?"
Hayato suppressed the doubt in his heart and continued watching.
In the following time, Yongmei and her group escalated their actions, even finding several men to gang-rape Lily and record a video.
Even though he wasn't experiencing it himself, he could feel the despair within it.
And Yongmei, as the instigator, treated all of this like a joke, even commenting on it.
Finally unable to bear it, Lily chose to commit suicide out of despair and resentment.
The final scene in the illusion.
Lily stood on the classroom window ledge, with Yongmei and a few others mocking her from behind.
Their words showed no regard for a human life, and they were even provoking Lily to commit suicide.
"After you jump and kill yourself, I'll post all those videos of you online so everyone knows you're a promiscuous Woman."
"You seduced them, you're a slut who seduces other people's boyfriends."
Looking at that face that was smiling but spoke with such malice.
Even viewing all of this from a spectator's perspective, Hayato felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Not to mention Lily, the person involved.
The despair and resentment at this moment had even overflowed the scene.
Under this provocation, Lily chose to jump and commit suicide.
Before dying, her gaze was fixed intently on those few people.
And Sano Chiho, who arrived late with a face full of panic.
"These people all deserve to die!"
A voice full of resentment echoed in Hayato's mind.
The next second, he found that the person standing on the window ledge had become himself.
His body lost all control, and he lifted his foot, about to jump directly from the building.
"Alas!"
Hayato slowly sighed.
Having personally witnessed what this Evil Spirit had gone through.
He suddenly understood a little.
It was no wonder that this girl named Lily became an Evil Spirit after committing suicide, taking crazy revenge on her classmates.
At the most beautiful age, she suffered the most tragic torment.
If it were him who suffered the same things, he would only be more extreme than Lily.
Some people, although wearing a layer of human skin, are ten times darker in their bones than an Evil Spirit.
However, sympathy is sympathy.
This farce should also come to an end.
"All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew and like lightning. Thus they should be regarded..."
Hayato pressed his palms together and silently recited the Diamond Sutra.
Accompanied by the ethereal chanting, all the illusions before him quietly shattered like dream bubbles.
Vajra Illusion-Breaking Mantra!
A Buddhism divine ability he comprehended from the Diamond Sutra.
When this mantra is recited, the surrounding illusory realms, hallucinations, and dreams will all be broken.
This divine ability specifically counters any illusion techniques.
He hadn't used it before, just wanted to see what this Evil Spirit wanted to do.
When he opened his eyes again, Hayato found himself standing on the edge of the classroom window.
The cold wind blew against his body, and Sano Chiho's anxious shouts came from downstairs.
He was just one step away from jumping from the building.
Although with his current physique, even if he really jumped, it wouldn't cause a fatal injury.
However, it would definitely hurt for several days.
"layman, if you have no other means, then it is This humble monk's turn."
Hayato looked at Lily, who was frozen in place.
He slowly extended a hand.
Boom!
A violent aura emerged.
Vajra power blessed his body, and the terrifying aura made Lily even smell the scent of death.
Her intuition told her that if this palm landed, she would definitely be suppressed.
Lily was unwilling; her revenge hadn't been taken yet.
And she was about to die here.
"Master, I can die, but I beg Hayato to let me take revenge!"
Facing the irresistible power, Lily knelt on the ground and shouted with a face full of unwillingness.
Whoosh!
The palm filled with Buddha light stopped the moment it touched her forehead.
A thoughtful look appeared on Hayato's face.
He thought about the things that happened in the illusion.
Compared to an Evil Spirit, he detested these deranged individuals even more.
Rather than saying they were human, it was better to say they were demons in human skin.
Letting such people live, his Buddha heart felt obstructed.
Therefore, he decided to fulfill the wish of this poor girl.
"...You can take revenge, but you cannot harm Sano Chiho."
Hayato said, his gaze looking at Lily, who had a hesitant expression.
Hearing Hayato's condition, the expression on Lily's face showed some unwillingness.
In Lily's opinion, Sano Chiho was an accomplice to Yongmei and her group; if it weren't for Sano Chiho, Lily wouldn't have suffered that inhumane abuse.
Nor would she have been humiliated to the point of suicide.
It was all because Sano Chiho, the teacher Lily trusted the most, didn't help her back then, which led to her tragedy.
Therefore, on Lily's revenge list, Sano Chiho could at least rank in the top three.
Now, letting Lily so easily let go of Sano Chiho, how could there be such a cheap thing?
She intended to refuse, but her gaze inadvertently met Hayato's cold eyes, and Lily's heart trembled.
Instantly reacted, now was not the time for Hayakawa Rin to bargain.
If Hayakawa Rin didn't agree, this Monk would definitely suppress Hayakawa Rin directly.
Forget about revenge.
Therefore, Hayakawa Rin now had only one choice, which was to agree to the Monk's request.
"Okay, Hayakawa Rin agree to Hayato!"
"Won't lay a hand on Teacher Sano Chiho."
Hayato nodded, glancing at the time.
"Hayakawa Rin give Hayato one hour, after one hour, Hayakawa Rin will act."
Saying this, Hayato flicked the prayer beads in his hand.
The strung-together Buddha beads scattered, enveloping the entire school.
He would agree to Lily's request, naturally having full confidence he could suppress Hayakawa Rin.
Prayer beads transformed into a barrier, covering the entire school.
Can ensure this Evil Spirit cannot escape this school.
Even if some sudden situation really appeared, he could suppress and kill it in a single thought.
Seeing that Hayato really didn't intend to stop Hayakawa Rin from getting revenge, a hint of surprise flashed across Lily's face.
However, quickly replaced by resentment.
One hour's time is limited.
Originally Hayakawa Rin also planned to slowly torment these fellows, letting them die in fear, but now there was no time for Hayakawa Rin to waste.
Following a terrifying wave of resentment erupting, Hayato saw threads of dark energy forming and spreading in all directions.
The end of each thread was connected to a figure.
These fellows, were the people who participated in bullying Lily back then.
"Huh? Yongmei?"
Downstairs, Sano Chiho, who was helping a student, exclaimed in surprise.
Looking at the unconscious student suddenly standing up, like a puppet, walking upstairs with an empty expression.
After hesitating for a moment, Sano Chiho gritted her teeth and directly followed.
A moment later, several figures gathered in the classroom.
Seeing that time was not much, Lily, without any hesitation.
With a wave of hand, the several figures in the classroom all seemed to be controlled, lining up with blank expressions and walking to the window.
Thud!
With a dull thud, one of the male students jumped directly from the window.
"Don't...."
Sano Chiho wanted to stop, but was directly pulled back by Hayato.
Looking at Sano Chiho's puzzled gaze, Hayato shook his head.
"These people, brought it upon themselves."
Saying this, gaze looked at Lily nearby.
One look, Lily immediately knew his idea.
The next second, Sano Chiho directly entered an illusion, personally witnessing everything Lily experienced.
After a long while, Sano Chiho, who had broken free from the illusion, trembled all over, her face still retaining expressions of shock and disbelief.
Hayakawa Rin absolutely didn't expect that her these students, privately would do such things.
For a moment, the look in gaze towards Lily, was unspeakable guilt and self-blame.
Hayakawa Rin regretted that Hayakawa Rin surprisingly didn't discover these things in advance.
"Teacher, Hayato why did Hayato give the letter to Yongmei..."
Lily's gaze full of resentment looked at Sano Chiho, all enemies were already dead.
Now only one Sano Chiho remained.
Although knew this Monk was present, Hayakawa Rin couldn't kill Sano Chiho.
But, in Hayakawa Rin's heart there had always been a question.
Why, Teacher Chiho who was usually best to Hayakawa Rin, would turn a blind eye to Hayakawa Rin's plea for help.
Instead, cruelly backstabbed Hayakawa Rin.
