Not long after those onmyojis returned, many troubles emerged in the Sun Country.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Hua Country urgently negotiated with the Sun Country, hoping to send its own special talents to the Sun Country to help them solve this trouble.
It wasn't that the Hua Country particularly wanted to help the Sun Country. However, they understood the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
The Holy Church's goal couldn't be just to cause trouble in the Sun Country. If that were the case, the Hua Country would never have stepped in to help.
Their target was the entire world. Most of their forces had been driven out of the Hua Country by the locals before.
Otherwise, the Hua Country would be in chaos along with the Sun Country now.
Originally, the Sun Country had conspiracy theories and refused to agree. But recently, no one knew what huge trouble they had encountered. They actually begged the Hua Country for help.
The Hua Country knew that this wasn't the time to be coy. Without dwelling on it further, they sent people over.
That's when those onmyojis were arrested. Some who had nothing to do with the Holy Church honestly accepted the investigation.
Those who were associated with the Holy Church committed suicide at the slightest hint of trouble.
Fortunately, Toyoda Ichido was captured alive. Now he was being held in a secret prison specially built for him. As long as Toyoda Ichido was alive, they had a chance to find out whether the Baku was raised by the Holy Church and if there was a simple way to deal with it.
Meng Chang first called the headquarters. The sun being blocked affected not only the Sun Country.
The headquarters was also troubled by the disappearance of the sun. After all, the sun's function wasn't just for lighting. If the sun really disappeared, it would be a significant blow to humanity.
When the headquarters heard that Toyoda Ichido might know how to solve this,
Without hesitation, they agreed to have the man brought out for interrogation and let the Taoist Master Qingyun do whatever he wanted.
When they saw Toyoda Ichido again, he was haggard beyond recognition. When he saw the Taoist Master Qingyun and the others, he just glanced up briefly and then lowered his head. He no longer had his former arrogant and haughty attitude.
The Taoist Master Qingyun was a tough nut to crack. No matter what methods were used after he was captured, he never said a word. Of course, those so - called methods weren't gentle ones.
If soft methods didn't work, they had to use hard ones. If hard methods didn't work either, they had to resort to psychological means.
Violence was ineffective, so the official of the Sun Country decided to attack from a psychological perspective.
They directly sent the man to a mental hospital and invited a Taoist priest from the Hua Country to deprive him of all his supernatural powers.
Toyoda Ichido wasn't wronged to be locked up here. Although the psychological evaluation showed that he was mentally sound, he was simply evil. He cooperated with the Holy Church just because he wanted supreme power. However, to be willing to drag the whole world to hell for power, to such a crazy extent, he was somewhat mentally abnormal.
During the few days he was in the mental hospital, Toyoda Ichido went from being initially disdainful to eventually collapsing. Finally, he was haggard and felt worse than dead.
There were two other people locked up with him. One had delusional disorder, and the other had dissociative identity disorder.
These two took turns. Sometimes the delusional patient would claim to be a doctor, holding a rusty knife from God - knows - where and gesturing it at Toyoda Ichido. While gesturing, he would say that Toyoda Ichido was sick and was studying where to cut him for treatment.
Sometimes the patient with dissociative identity disorder would change personalities, shouting and saying things that no one could understand. He also liked to harass the people in the same ward and prevent them from sleeping.
One of them caused trouble during the day and slept at night, while the other caused trouble at night and slept during the day. Both were mental patients and had extremely strong immunity to external interference. So when they harassed each other, they could ignore each other and sleep soundly. Only Toyoda Ichido, a "normal person" in the middle, couldn't get any peace.
When the delusional patient came to disturb his rest, Toyoda Ichido could only stare at the other person's every move with his eyes open. Sometimes when he was too sleepy and couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep, the delusional patient would think that the "anesthetic" on Toyoda Ichido had taken effect. Then he would start cutting with the knife. Unfortunately, the knife was so dull after rusting that it might not even cut a single slit for a long time.
The nurses and doctors turned a blind eye to this situation. Who told Toyoda Ichido to be a "big shot" specifically instructed by the higher - ups to be "taken special care of"?
So Toyoda Ichido would be woken up by the pain every time he just fell asleep. Just when he finally waited for the delusional patient to fall asleep and he could sleep, the patient with dissociative identity disorder would get energetic. He would punch and kick Toyoda Ichido and wouldn't let him sleep no matter what. He insisted on pulling Toyoda Ichido up to chat. If Toyoda Ichido didn't talk to his second personality, he would say that Toyoda Ichido looked down on him, and then there would be another round of punching and kicking.
Everyone has the instinct to survive. Even a person who wants to die will hesitate at the moment of suicide. Toyoda Ichido naturally had the instinct to survive. To be precise, he just wanted to die quickly. He didn't want to be slowly hacked to death by a rusty knife or beaten to death by a mental patient at all.
In less than three days, Toyoda Ichido felt that he was on the verge of collapse. He had been pampered since childhood. How could he endure such suffering?
Physical pain might not have much of an impact on him. After all, who among those who practiced magic didn't have a big heart?
When facing those demons and ghosts, who wouldn't get hurt?
But this kind of mental torture was something new to him.
Toyoda Ichido tried every means to commit suicide to end his suffering. As soon as this thought emerged, the entire hospital mobilized. They took turns to "protect" him 24 hours a day, but they still wouldn't interfere with the harassment from his roommates.
Looking at Toyoda Ichido's heavy dark circles and chapped, pale lips, which were in stark contrast to his arrogant appearance a few days ago, if it weren't for the fact that he still sounded like a pervert when he opened his mouth, the Taoist Master Qingyun would have thought that this was Toyoda Ichido's twin brother with an opposite personality.
"Stupid Taoist priest, why aren't you going to save your precious disciples? What are you doing here looking for me?" Toyoda Ichido said sarcastically.
The Taoist Master Qingyun was too lazy to argue with a prisoner. He just asked straightforwardly, "Is the Baku related to you guys?"
"The Baku?"
Toyoda Ichido suddenly looked up. There was a sudden glint in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he continued, "Hahaha, the Lord finally released the Baku, right? It seems that the doomsday plan has been launched."
"So it was really you guys. You're quite capable," the Taoist Master Qingyun raised his eyebrows and said.
"You didn't expect this, did you, dead Taoist priest? If you hadn't arrested me, the Lord wouldn't have released the Baku so soon. Now that you've arrested me, the Lord probably was afraid that the plan would be ruined, so he started the doomsday plan in advance. Hahahahaha, it's really great."
Toyoda Ichido excitedly slapped the table in front of him and laughed maniacally. The handcuffs clanged against each other.
"To tell you the truth, I was only responsible for catching some little ghosts, practicing some magic, and burying some insignificant little mines. The real big things are in the hands of the other two leaders and the Lord. We don't interfere with each other. We have no contact except for sending things to that hospital. If you think you can get information from my mouth, you've miscalculated."
Toyoda Ichido's tone was full of excitement. After saying that, he even raised his head and bowed to the sky, "My God, even if I die, He will surely save me."
The Taoist Master Qingyun frowned slightly and stared directly into Toyoda Ichido's eyes without moving.
The glint in his eyes and the emotions he expressed indicated that there was an 80% chance that he wasn't lying.
After determining that he couldn't get any information from him, the Taoist Master Qingyun could only wave his hand and give up.
Before Toyoda Ichido was taken back down, he kept struggling and gritted his teeth. Staring closely at the Taoist Master Qingyun, he said word by word:
"I'll watch you all go to hell one by one."
In the face of Toyoda Ichido's provocation, the Taoist Master Qingyun laughed. Thinking of his little disciple's popularity in the underworld, he showed a mocking smile and imitated Toyoda Ichido, saying word by word, "Everyone in hell is my relative."
