Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"What's there to be afraid of snakes? Just show some strength and they'll be so scared they won't be able to move their hands or feet!"

Ryoko yelled.

"I'm not afraid, I just find it difficult to cope with."

Shiraizumi tried to protest, but Ryoko ignored him.

"Even if a Hydra's head is cut off, a new one will grow immediately, so all its heads must be cut off at once, or it must be burned to death."

"I know you wanted to set it on fire, but arson is wrong, and I don't want to be charged with arson."

"Rest assured, just let Chushen and Hyakumeki shoulder all the blame. Oh, ha ha ha! As the saying goes, 'Dead men can't testify.' This is a great proverb that can purify all right and wrong, second only to 'Winner takes it all.'"

"Goddess Exorcist, don't forget the saying that goes, 'God won't forgive you!'"

"Can you please stop talking! If God doesn't know what's good for him and dares to stop me, I'll put an end to him one day!"

"Please, both of you, please stop having such a meaningless quarrel at this time!"

Hydra's movement increased, and Ryoko, Yukiko, and Shiraizumi Masu leaped in three different directions. Yukiko used her only free right foot. Suddenly, Hydra, now at the center of the triangle formed by the three of them, stopped.

The seven heads split into three groups, each pointing in three directions, thus restraining the body. Seeing the seven heads looking in three directions while the body struggled in place, Bai Quanyi looked up to confirm the position of the large chandelier on the ceiling.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Quanyi immediately aimed at the ceiling and fired a shot. He aimed at the lock of the three chains supporting the chandelier, and the large chandelier cut through the air and fell straight down.

A local earthquake was caused on the spot, and the vibrations and rumblings shook the entire "Nightmare House".

In an instant, the seven heads of the Hydra were crushed beneath the lamp, shards of metal and glass scattered across the ground. Amidst the swirling dust, the massive snake continued to tumble, its rhythm increasingly slow, until it finally came to a stop.

"Izumi Yi, you are so awesome, you deserve to be my subordinate." Ryoko's eyes lit up.

"Inspector Shiro is truly a trustworthy man." Yukiko now understood why the self-righteous Ryoko had such a good relationship with Shiraizumi Masu.

Bai Quanyi couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is this monster?"

Ryoko: "According to Greek mythology, Vengedona is the mother of Hydra and Chimera..."

Bai Quanyi: "That means it will come to avenge the child."

Yukiko: "Well, I don't know if it understands family affection. It might sound strange for me to say this, but it's rare that it's here. You can ask it yourself."

Shiraizumi: "'It's rare that it's here too'?"

Shiraizumi Yi questioned, only to see Ryoko raise her cane and point it behind him.

Bai Quanyi turned around and saw Hydra's mother approaching from a distance of five meters.

With the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a giant snake, Wenjidona has an ancient Greek-style bun and a face that looks as beautiful as a goddess. However, when it opens its mouth, rows of sharp teeth are exposed, completely revealing its true face.

"Be careful! Vengedonna loves to eat human flesh!"

Ryoko told me this fact which is not funny at all.

In some ways, Venjidona is more difficult to deal with than Hydra. Since her upper body is human, she must have two hands. On the other hand, her lower body has no legs, so she can approach the enemy silently.

Shiraizumi quickly dodged as Bunjidona attacked with astonishing speed and agility. Its left hand swept forward, only to miss just in the nick of time. Its right hand, from a lower position, snatched up Yukiko's right foot. Yukiko fell to the ground. Her courage, perseverance, and martial spirit were remarkable, but her sprained left ankle slowed her reflexes.

Wen Ji Dona grabbed the ankle of the falling Yukiko with one hand.

Yukiko screamed, not from fear but from pain. Wen Ji Donna grabbed Yukiko's sprained left ankle.

Ryoko complained, "She's so clumsy! But there will probably be some stupid men attracted by her distressed expression... It's a headache, Izumi, go save her!"

Bai Quanyi was speechless. This woman was really thick-skinned. Even when her companions were in danger, she still looked relaxed.

Bai Quanyi immediately pointed the muzzle of his Togarev rifle at Wen Jidona. He fired two shots into the snake's body, prompting Wen Jidona to let out a shrill scream. The sound was not only loud but also aroused a strong physiological disgust, like the sound of a nail scraping against frosted glass, amplified a thousand times.

Shiraizumi Mashi pushed away Fumikidona's hand that was holding Yukiko's ankle, and then Ryoko grabbed Yukiko's hands and dragged her out of Fumikidona's reach.

"It's time to go!" Ryoko shouted. There were too many monsters here. If they stayed any longer, who knew what other monsters would appear.

Hearing what Ryoko said, Shiraizumi Mashi immediately put the Togarev into his inner pocket, reached his hands to Yukiko's back and the inside of her knees and picked her up, while also noticing the appearance of another monster.

A Minotaur with the physique of a wrestler and the head of a bull.

Attack from both front and back!

Shiraizumi Mashi held Yukiko and dodged quickly to avoid the Minotaur's attack.

Ryoko quickly looked around and immediately noticed the corridor on the side.

"This way, quick!"

It is very likely that a more terrifying monster is waiting around the next corner, but now is not the time to think too much. Shiraizumi Mashi hugged Yukiko and ran into the corridor closely behind Ryoko who was holding a cane.

After running five or six steps, I looked back and saw that the Minotaur and Vengedana were entangled tightly together. I wondered if they were mating?

Perhaps it was because Vengedonna was far more attractive to Minotaur than to humans.

However, they can't care so much.

Ryoko and Shiraizumi Masu, who were about to leave the house through the entrance, suddenly stopped in their tracks. Standing right in front of us was Kazuji, the deputy director of the branch office, with messy hair and a dirty suit. Upon seeing us, he gave us a hostile look and shouted, "Hey! How dare you trespass on the sacred grounds of the Ministry of Finance?"

"Run away!" Yukiko in Shiraizumi Masaru's arms reminded Kaji, but unfortunately his eyes had lost their rationality, and he was holding an object that looked like a small flute in his hand.

"You bunch of unidentified people! Do you think you can get into the Ministry of Finance branch? This place belongs to the elite. Only those who pass the selection can enter this mansion. NONCAREERS, get out! Commoners, get out! All those who overestimate their abilities, get out!"

Kaji took the flute in his mouth and blew, but he couldn't hear any sound even after blowing hard for a long time. At this time, the Minotaur, who was still mating with Wen Jidona, stopped, looked around, and then pounced on the human who disturbed his pleasure again.

Seeing this, Ryoko flipped over, jumped behind Kaji, and threw him over.

"what--"

Kaji screamed as the Minotaur grabbed him with both hands. Effortlessly, it tore Kaji into pieces, sending blood and viscera spilling onto the ground.

"Let's go." Ryoko said.

Shiraizumi Masu held Yukiko and quickly left the passage with Ryoko.

As soon as I stepped out of the entrance hall, I was immediately engulfed by a clamor. The rain had stopped completely, and the mist formed a thin haze before my eyes. As the gate opened, a fire truck rolled into the front yard. Several cars, attempting to exit, were blocked by the fire truck. The fire truck's sirens mixed with the honking of cars, creating an agonizing cacophony. Firefighters, partygoers running around, and dozens of high school students who had trespassed could be seen, some pointing at the building while chatting on their phones.

As the three approached, the firefighters who were about to meet them were startled and froze in their tracks. The Minotaur, pressing closely behind them, had appeared.

The final battle

Bai Quanyi thought that everyone would scream and run for their lives, but the facts proved that he was extremely wrong.

Minotaur was immediately bathed in a sea of ​​sarcasm and mockery. "So ugly!" and "So lame!" were the crowd's reactions.

Besides the laughter, Coke bottles and popcorn bags also flew towards the Minotaur. This was a common crowd reaction, except that the target of the bottles and bags was not an ordinary creature. The Minotaur roared and threw Kaji's torn body back at the crowd.

At that time, half of the human body was covered in blood and flesh, and its stomach was broken and intestines were leaking. When this object fell to the ground, the audience realized that this was neither a TV recording nor a puppet show.

Only then did everyone start screaming.

If those intellectuals, who were passionately protesting the grammatical chaos of Mandarin, heard lines like "Motorcycle!" and "What the hell, airplane! Turn your head!", they would definitely faint in anger. In short, they desperately tried to escape, either knocking over firefighters or tripping over the hoses of fire trucks, making the scene even more chaotic.

The Minotaur began to walk slowly towards the vestibule and headed towards the main door. If it were to walk out of the door, it would surely cause a commotion far greater than the one in Ginza last night.

"Actually, it would be fun to become like that, but we still have to stop it. We have to put on a show for others to see." Ryoko said.

So Shiraizumi Masu helped Yukiko sit down by the bushes in the front yard, and then he and Ryoko ran quickly towards the Minotaur.

At this moment, a black Mercedes rushed over from the rear. These people had been waiting for an opportunity to leave here. Now that they saw the door was open, they immediately wanted to take the opportunity to break out by force.

The rear windows of the Mercedes were covered with black film, making it impossible to see the faces of the passengers inside. However, one could still guess that they were definitely people who were afraid that the news would be exposed and cause them harm. However, the license plate was already clearly visible, so there was no need for them to hide it.

The Mercedes continued to ram the car, knocking an unfortunate firefighter away and colliding with other vehicles. Just as it was about to run over another person, it turned its front end in time and saw the Minotaur passing by in front of it.

Half of the Minotaur's body was illuminated by the Mercedes' headlights. It slowly turned around and collided head-on with the Mercedes that was coming straight at it. Only a heavy, dull thud was heard.

Unbelievably, the Minotaur caught the Mercedes with its body, gripping the hood and, while being squeezed by the Mercedes, holding onto the car, preparing to lift it aloft. The Mercedes driver, seemingly flooring the accelerator, ignored the Minotaur's grip on the car and rushed forward. The Minotaur's massive body obstructed vision, likely causing panic among those inside. Instead of slowing down, the car hurtled towards the concrete wall at a near-uncontrollable speed.

"It seems we have saved ourselves a lot of trouble..."

Ryoko stood up and shrugged. Shiraizumi picked up the top hat that had fallen at her feet and handed it to her. The Mercedes crashed into the wall, causing an explosion and a blazing ball of fire. Several jets of water poured down on the flames, engulfing the Mercedes and the Minotaur.

Three firefighters ran over excitedly.

"What are you guys still doing here? It's too dangerous, get out of here!"

At this time, it was the turn of the two bureaucrats to introduce themselves.

"I'm Inspector Masaru Yakushiji Ryoko, Director of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"I'm Superintendent Muromachi, a Counselor of the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Department!"

Upon hearing the two beauties' self-introductions, the firefighters were stunned. Because there was a huge gap between the gorgeous attire of the people in front of them and the titles they reported, the firefighters' brain circuits seemed to be faulty. They could only open their eyes and mouths wide, staring at the rare curves.

Shiraizumi explained, "I'm Inspector Shiraizumi of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division. We'll explain the entire incident afterward. I hope you'll notify the police immediately and request the dispatch of the mobile unit."

“Ah, yes, yes…”

The firefighters nodded vigorously as if they had just woken up from a dream. I wonder what procedures the fire department would follow when encountering such a situation?

"By the way, call an ambulance and take this woman to the hospital, you hear me!?"

Ryoko pushed Yukiko's back forward, but Yukiko turned her head in protest.

"I can still fight, don't act on your own!"

Ryoko refused.

"You're a stumbling block! You're only in the way! Get out of the battlefield and get treated properly. Then use your brain and think of a reasonable explanation for tonight's events."

Shiraizumi Masu said, "I'm leaving everything up to you, Inspector Muromachi. You know Inspector Yakushiji is not one to handle things gently. The fighting will be handled by us, and I'll ask for your assistance with the cleanup."

At this moment, a voice of "Everyone!" was heard, and Kishimoto stumbled over.

"Alright, Inspector Kishimoto will accompany you. Please go to the hospital and get well. We'll report back to you once we've resolved everything."

"Okay, let's do this. You are responsible for keeping the Exorcist Lady under control and don't let her get out of control."

Hearing Yukiko nod in agreement, Baiquanyi called out to Ryoko: "Let's go."

Shiraizumi Masu and Ryoko walked back to the entrance door they had passed seven or eight minutes ago.

"It should all be resolved...except for the seven ministers."

"Unfortunately, there's only one left, and it's the toughest one."

"Which one?"

"Gauguin."

Ryoko's tone wasn't cowardly, but she still seemed a little nervous.

It is indeed quite tricky. If this Gauguin also has the magical powers described in the myth, there is really no reason to deny it - anyone who sees its eyes will turn into stone.

Continuing to move forward from the hall, Ryoko and Shiraizumi Masu looked around, not only left and right, but also above and below. Fortunately, the ceiling did not fall down, and the floor leading to hell did not crack. Unfortunately, this hypocritical peace only lasted for three minutes before it ended.

A strange black shadow was reflected on the wall near the corner of the corridor in front.

It looked like a human figure, but its head was very deformed. Its hair was thick, some long, some short, and kept wriggling. The thick hair had dozens of small snakes.

Gauguin was standing at the corner of the corridor! He was lying in wait, waiting to attack us.

Ryoko and I tiptoed back ten steps at the same time. Suddenly, a faint blue smoke rose from behind us, and the fire alarm rang hysterically.

"¨" The arsonist must be Nanajo, Quan Yi, are you mentally prepared?"

Ryoko looked up at me and I responded immediately.

"Compared to Nanajo's black magic, I believe more in the good fortune of the Exorcist Goddess."

"Really? Making the right decision at the most critical moment is your strength. Remember I told you before, as long as you follow me, your future will be bright."

"That's not necessary. Next time we sleep together, I'll be on top and you'll be on the bottom."

"Why are you talking so unlovably?"

She grabbed my tie and pulled Bai Quanyi forward.

"Seven Ministers!"

Bai Quanyi didn't know any other names for him, so he had to call him that.

Ryoko deliberately provoked him, "Stop hiding away, I have something to tell you! Also, all of your most trusted subordinates have been eliminated!"

Suddenly a shadow came over and Qi Tiao Xining came in front of the two of them.

"How dare you come back!"

Following the routine, Baiquanyi could only pretend to be nonchalant and continued: "You use black magic to do evil things, so of course Ryoko and I have to stop it."

Ryoko said, "Give up, Nanajo."

"Only God can judge me. You are not worthy."
