Ling Qi 2 (Spiritpact 2)

~Bond of the Underworld~

Episode 11 Things I Want to Say

So Shinryuu Shouken didn't betray Tanmoku Ki, after all.

What a heartbreaking reality.

If I hadn't tried to run, if I hadn't tried to hurt anyone,

Shouken wouldn't have had to die.

No. This is surely something he decided to do in his heart.

Just like a contract to seal time, he made a promise with his soul.

He wanted to be your spirit shadow.

But his soul never came to me.

Was it because of this circle?

The soul-binding circle.

Remember this.

If you learn this spell,

you will become the enemy of all those with spiritual abilities.

This spell was once used to make living corpses.

If you use it, it will certainly have a reciprocal effect on your body. Understood?

Living corpses?

In order to keep his body from putrefying,

Shouken's soul has been trapped inside his body.

Who's there?!

So this is where you were hiding my brother.

I finally found him.

Shinryuu Sekijin!

Keika!

Keika?

Keika...

You're always by the Youmeishi's side, aren't you?

I'm going to have to separate you two a bit.

Become my puppet.

What the hell?

Why?!

Why did you destroy him?!

Was I being controlled all along?

Keika, what's wrong? Keika!

I filled your body with poison. One word from me, and you'll go bang.

Keika? Keika!

Keika!

Let's go.

Wait!

My lord!

What is happening? My spiritual powers aren't working?

That's weird... There's no one nearby.

Grandmother?

Grandmother, I'm coming in.

No one's here...

Ouyou You?

Where are the members of the Tanmoku family?

What's going on?

How are things with you? I'm at my limit.

You're useless. You're supposed to be the best, right?

Figure something out.

Only if you kiss me.

Stupid!

What happened to the Tanmoku family?

Where's Shinryuu Sekijin? And Shouken?

Keika...

I thought that if I destroyed that stone, it would free you from the poison,

but I was too naïve.

Tanmoku?

Keika, there's something I have to tell you.

Please hurry.

Now that the soul-binding circle has been destroyed, his soul doesn't have long.

Yes, ma'am.

Running around here like you own the place...

Have you mistaken this mountain for the Shinryuu family gardens?

Don't think you're going to be leaving here without my permission.

I knew you'd come.

What?

Iku Sashi, return with Shouken.

What about you, my lord?

I have an idea.

Let's do this.

Right!

Capture them!

Wait.

You all are my special chess pieces.

You will be working for me.

Collective hypnosis spell!

Where's the getaway car?

It is arriving.

Once we get down the mountain, it will take us straight to the Shinryuu residence.

Okay.

Going down the mountain?

You may leave.

But Shouken stays here.

Otherwise, I will make you suffer.

When I gave this to you,

you promised me that you would come home when your mission was completed.

But all that returned was this key.

Behold.

You didn't keep your promise.

While that boy lived on carefree.

So I will wipe your slate clean.

Shinryuu Sekijin!

Impressive, master. You've already caught up to me with your dog.

You've been quite the show-off. I'll hack you to bits!

Accept your punishment.

You're Shouken's brother.

I might be able to reduce your sentence.

Oh? You'll make appeals for me?

You can still turn back now.

Do you even have the strength to make me turn back?

That's...

Tanmoku Ki!

What have you done to Tanmoku Ki?

This is the Qian Lunar Mirror.

Just like the Kun Solar Ring made by the ancestors of the Shinryuu family,

it is a magical tool to use against the Youmeishi.

The Qian Lunar Mirror absorbs your spiritual powers,

while the Kun Solar Ring restricts your powers.

It would be wise to obey me.

That's why my powers didn't affect you...

Hey, redhead, what are you trying to pull?

This is...

No way.

All the players are in place.

Shall we proceed with this evening's performance?

I am not trying to rebel against the Tanmoku family.

I just want to take Shouken home.

Please, I am begging you. Let us go.

My grandmother saw right through your plan.

If you withdraw now, I will let you go. But how shameless.

You are the ones who started this!

Shouken leaked information and betrayed the Tanmoku family,

so of course the Tanmoku family was going to punish him.
