"This is a battle where the reputation of the Fuma family and the careers of all of you ninjas are at stake. Only success is allowed!" Fuma Kotaro pointed in the direction of Uesugi Yue. "You are all elites of the Fuma family. You should understand the mission of a ninja. Please carry out this mission with the determination to die. I am also prepared to sacrifice my own life."
After saying this, Fuma Kotaro couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted, but the old man's weathered eyes were full of determination, without any wavering... The ninjas of the Fuma family also had faces as hard as carved rocks, and their wills did not waver at all.
Maybe others don’t understand, but Fuma Kotaro and all the Fuma ninjas know what “the mission of the ninja” means.
The so-called "mission of a ninja"... is death!
Since ancient times, ninjas have been trained to serve as their lord's death warriors. They have honed their skills and bodies, constantly tempering their will in practice. Their ultimate goal is not to kill, but to die calmly... Every apprentice ninja will experience the "death" test before becoming a qualified ninja. Maybe it's being pushed off a cliff by their master, or maybe it's living in a jungle full of wild beasts for ten days... In short, when every apprentice is given the title of "ninja", they must have seen through life and death and put their own lives aside.
Even Fuma Kotaro, the highly respected head of the family, is no exception. This is what his father told him before he succeeded the position of head of the Fuma family... Being the head of the Fuma family is not an honor, but a duty. The man sitting in this position will shoulder a responsibility heavier than a mountain. When the head of the eight Snake families encounters danger, other heads of families can choose to protect themselves, but the head of the Fuma family must die before the head of the family.
Of course, the ninjas of the Fuma family also heard about the issue of the number of people on the helicopter that Chu Zihang and Caesar discussed, but none of them said anything about it... because these ninjas knew in their hearts that they were not included in the number of people who would retreat. From the moment they boarded the helicopter to the island of Sea Forest Park, the ninjas of the Fuma family knew very well that they would not have the chance to board the return helicopter. For each of them, this was a war from which they could not return!
"Action!" Fuma Kotaro gave the order.
All the ninjas quickly dispersed and moved quickly towards the coast. No one responded to Fuma Kotaro's orders, but they showed their most resolute attitude with their actions. Such an answer was more resounding than shouting at the top of their lungs.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fuma Kotaro also rushed out quickly. Although his speed was not as fast as Ange and Inuyama He, the ninja's speed was beyond reach.
At the same time, the "Black Sun" also began to collapse. This was the drawback of this super word spirit. After being exhausted, Uesugi Yue was unable to control the strongest "Black Sun". This black sun began to collapse from the edge after losing control. A powerful force field began to form in the center of the "Black Sun" area, and the atmosphere was stirred into an invisible vortex by this huge pulling force.
Unlike the "Black Sun" when it was controlled by Uesugi Yue, the out-of-control "Black Sun" no longer has the person who released the Word Spirit as the center of gravity. Just like the sea water, the corpse guards, and the ghost-toothed vipers in the sea, Uesugi Yue will also be pulled by this gravity... In other words, when this Word Spirit collapses, it will kill its master!
A sky-covering tide surged up in the area centered on the "black sun." The water was no longer evaporated by the high temperature, but was shrinking wildly. It seemed that with the collapse of the black sun disk, space had collapsed, and everything was pulled into the invisible void... There was no doubt that any creature affected by this gravitational wave would have absolutely no chance of survival!
Uesugi Yue felt like he was floating in the clouds. His consciousness was still in a state of perfection in swordsmanship, but his body was exhausted. All his physical strength had been exhausted by the super word spirit "Black Sun" and the non-stop swinging of the sword. Uesugi Yue could not squeeze out any more strength from his body... He had no intention of escaping. Uesugi Yue's state at this moment was between coma and dozing.
Just when Uesugi Yue was about to be swept into the center of the storm, a grappling rope entangled his body. The one who shot out the grappling rope was Fuma Kotaro. He caught Uesugi Yue before the situation became irreversible. Fuma Kotaro had another grappling rope in his hand, and the claw hook at the end was nailed firmly to the root of a huge cedar tree in the Sea Forest Park.
The moment he caught Uesugi Yue, Fuma Kotaro quickly pressed the retraction button of the hook rope. The nanofiber steel rope pulled him and Uesugi Yue's bodies towards the center of Sea Forest Park. The pulling force of the rope and the traction of "Black Sun" acted on each other. Fuma Kotaro was trapped between the two huge forces. He felt that his body was about to be torn apart by these two forces, but his strong willpower allowed Fuma Kotaro to hold on and not let go.
As the hook rope retracted, the corpse guards along the way swarmed up like locusts, but they couldn't touch the bodies of Fuma Kotaro and Uesugi Yue because the ninjas of the Fuma family stopped them... Some ninjas even used their flesh and blood to block the sharp claws and fangs of the corpse guards. Even if they were torn into a bloody mess, they didn't make a sound. This was the ambition of the Fuma family ninjas.
Seeing that the grappling rope was about to retract to the end, Fuma Kotaro and Uesugi Yue were only one step away from the Sea Forest Park, but an unexpected bad situation occurred. The huge cedar tree that the grappling rope locked had begun to fall, and huge roots emerged from the soil... The immersion of sea water made the soil moist and soft, and the giant tree was also pulled out by the pulling force of the collapse of the "Black Sun".
Fuma Kotaro's face quickly turned ugly. If this continued, he and Uesugi Yue would still not be able to escape the affected area of the storm... At the critical moment, a pair of hands firmly grasped the end of the steel cable.
It was Caesar, his lower body nailed to the back of a stone chair, his hands tightly grasping the hook, and he yelled at Fuma Kotaro: "Don't let go, Fuma family master!"
The palms of both Caesar and Fuma Kotaro were rubbed bloody by the steel fiber ropes, and Caesar's position was about to be affected by the storm, but no one gave up. At this moment, they were the most reliable comrades, and they were even willing to risk their lives to save each other.
Fuma Kotaro and Uesugi Yue fell in front of Caesar. Without even taking a breath, Caesar carried Uesugi Yue's body and ran away from the coast with Fuma Kotaro.
Everyone has already rushed to the other end of the island in the Sea Forest Park. The power of the collapse of the "Black Sun" is so terrifying that even a helicopter has difficulty taking off from the coast on the other side of the island.
Caesar and Fuma Kotaro grabbed the helicopter's ladder, released the stability lock, and the two helicopters soared into the sky.
Chapter 643 Victorious War
Caesar and Fuma Kotaro climbed into the cockpit of the helicopter breathlessly. Caesar threw Uesugi Yue aside, gasping for breath as if there was a hole in his lungs... It was not that Caesar did not want to be gentler to Master Yue, the hero of this war, but his physical strength did not allow him to treat a ramen uncle weighing more than 100 pounds with care. If he moved any slower, Caesar was afraid that he would lose the ladder and fall out of the plane with Uesugi Yue before he climbed into the cabin.
"Thank you." Fuma Kotaro bowed to Caesar, "Not only in my own name, Fuma Kotaro, but also in the name of the head of the Fuma family."
Fuma Kotaro's attitude of thanking him was very sincere. After all, at the last moment when "Black Sun" was out of control, everyone was preparing to evacuate. The cedar tree that the grappling hook fixed fell down, and the steel cable in Fuma Kotaro's hand lost its force point in an instant. If Caesar had not turned back and pulled the rope tightly, Fuma Kotaro and Uesugi Yue would have been swept away by the violent storm... Caesar's actions were also extremely dangerous. At the critical moment, he himself might be affected by the storm, but he still did it without hesitation, which made Fuma Kotaro sincerely admire this young man.
"Those ninjas from the Fuma family..." Chu Zihang looked back at the Sea Forest Island that was gradually disappearing in his sight. He didn't finish the rest of his words, but everyone understood what Chu Zihang wanted to express.
"The ninjas of the Fuma family were born for this purpose. From the moment they bore the name of the Fuma family and the name of ninja, they knew that this moment would come in their lives," said Nanami Sakurai. "On the day they officially became ninjas, each of them had already drafted a will and instructions for their families. Before leaving the family, Kaguya had already sent their wills to their families' phones, and the pensions prepared by the Yaki Eight Clan for their families had also arrived."
Sakurai Nanami's words were filled with inexplicable heaviness. She knew her final fate from the first day of her career and prepared for the moment of her death every day. She was a person who truly lived for death, and this was the fate of a ninja.
Chu Zihang slowly closed his eyes, as if silently mourning for those unknown old ninjas who were willing to sacrifice their lives to save the city.
In another helicopter, Miyamoto Shio looked down at the ticking numbers on his watch. Every time the hands moved, the time until the refined sulfur bomb exploded was one minute closer. Miyamoto Shio whispered, "Only five seconds left."
Ange, who was in the same helicopter, looked through the small window at the rear of the helicopter. Near the east coast of the island in the Sea Forest Park, the "Black Sun" was still collapsing. This super word spirit had been exerting the power to destroy the world from its release to its disintegration. It was hard to imagine that this was a power that humans could control.
Seeing this scene, Ange suddenly remembered the moment when Cassel Manor was destroyed many years ago. The dazzling light of the Word Spirit burst out from Menech Cassel's body, and all things were annihilated by the power of that super Word Spirit. A night later, the seriously injured Ange crawled out of the collapsed cellar, and the scene he saw made Ange unforgettable for his whole life.
It was simply hell, with blood flowing like a river and broken limbs and debris everywhere. The remains of humans and Deadpool hugged each other, not because of how good their relationship was, but because they both wanted to bite each other's throats. All the buildings within a few kilometers collapsed, the quartz castle turned into ruins, glass and crystal shattered into dust, the fire burned all night and was still not extinguished, and the sky-covering fog lingered around the entire ruined manor... Ange staggered to find Menech Cassel in the center of the manor, walked in, and found that it was a dead human figure. When the wind blew, the remains of the human figure turned into smoke and dust and floated in the air. Ange collapsed to the ground in a daze, and he realized that his brother, Menech Cassel's vitality had been drained by his out-of-control top-secret word spirit.
If Uesugi Yue had not pulled himself out of the collapsed "Black Sun" in time, he would have ended up like Menech Cassel. Ange didn't want to see such a hellish scene again. In the long history of war between humans and dragons, countless powerful half-blood leaders of humans fell on the battlefield fighting with dragons. They desperately wanted to resist these species that were about to destroy human civilization, and even sacrificed their own lives, but the dragons were resurrected again and again... Ange's hatred for dragons did not arise overnight. He was like a collection of contradictions and hatreds between humans and dragons for thousands of years.
Ange's thoughts were pulled back. In the center of the Sea Forest Park where they were just now, there were groups of corpse guards gathered there. These snake-like monsters rushed towards the refined sulfur bomb, their faces full of excitement and greed.
These hybrid ancestors left over from ancient times have become single-celled monsters, losing their wisdom and basic judgment. They have no idea how devastating a blow this cigar-shaped giant emitting the smell of sulfur and gunpowder will cause them. They will be destroyed by their most primitive greed and desires.
These corpse guards actively approached the refined sulfur bomb because there was something on the bomb that was enough to attract them... Before leaving, Chu Zihang smeared his and Ange's blood on the surface of the bullet. Their blood had a fatal attraction to the corpse guards. This was the simplest trap, but it could have the greatest effect.
When the hands of Miyamoto Shio's watch jumped to the last moment, the Sea Forest Island erupted with a huge roar, flames shot up into the sky, the entire island was shaking violently, and the strong wind swept the flames to a height of dozens of meters. The flames were mixed with light yellow refined sulfur dust. The combustion of these dusts produced a foul-smelling gas that was lethal to both the Shikigami and the hybrids. The flaming red and light yellow colors filled the entire Sea Forest Island and quickly spread to the sea in all directions.
At the same time, the super word spirit "Black Sun" completely disintegrated, and the huge sun disk shattered from the edge all the way to the center. Originally, only the edge of the "Black Sun" emitted light, but now the entire sun disk emitted dazzling light, as if a dormant supernova was about to explode, and the space collapsed drastically.
Everything was dragged over by the shattered "Black Sun". The atmosphere seemed to have leaked a huge cavity, sea water, soil, corpses, and exploding refined sulfur bombs... Flames, tides, and strong winds ravaged this small island east of Tokyo. The elements within a radius of several kilometers were completely disordered. The frenzy of corpses erupted in hysterical roars in the light and heat emitted by the collapsed "Black Sun" and the overwhelming refined sulfur, but in the end they could only die powerlessly.
The light on the sea was suddenly as bright as the rising sun, and the sea surface was reflected with a golden glow. People as far away as Tokyo noticed this huge phenomenon, but the light quickly went out after lighting up the dark rainy night in an instant. Everything returned to deathly silence. Only the whistling sea breeze swept across the sea with a sky full of yellowish dust and tiny sparks of fire. There was not even any corpse remains of the corpse guards and dragon subspecies creatures, only white smoke slowly dissipated above the island of Sea Forest Park.
Ange couldn't help feeling relieved, not because he was lucky to have survived, but because he was lucky that Uesugi Yue and the people from the Snake Family had arrived at the critical moment. Otherwise, with only him, Caesar and Chu Zihang, it would have been impossible to defend the Sea Forest Park Island. The refined sulfur bomb would have had no chance of exploding, and the army of the corpse guards would have swarmed into Tokyo City to the west of the island like locusts, and all the citizens in the city would have become food for the corpse guards.
What made Ange feel even more fortunate was that they all survived, his students, and his old friends... Uesugi Yue was one of the few friends Ange had in this world. This old man who had almost no worries had almost nothing left to lose.
"The Supreme of the Underworld?" Ange turned his gaze away from the island in Sea Forest Park and murmured softly, "Congratulations, old friend. In the end, you managed to hold on to the glory that belongs to the 'Emperor'. I'm sure your sons will be proud of you."
……
Tokyo Meteorological Bureau Hall.
Deafening cheers filled the entire hall of the Meteorological Bureau. Joy was written on everyone's face, and the atmosphere was as festive as a Christmas party with a bonfire.
EVA data showed that in the direction of the island of Sea Forest Park, after a few minutes of high temperature and abnormal climate on the sea surface, the temperature and elemental turbulence suddenly reached a peak value, and then quickly fell back. After a few minutes, it returned to silence, and the sulfur content in the air rose rapidly.
Even those who were far away at the Tokyo Meteorological Bureau could smell a faint stench of sulfur in the air, which indicated that the refined sulfur bomb had been successfully detonated. Then the satellite aerial image provided by EVA showed that the number of corpse guards in the Tokyo waters was controlled at an extremely considerable number. Even if there were still a small number of corpse guards who escaped from the explosion, the remaining number was within a controllable range.
The most excited people were the researchers of the Rock Flow Research Institute and the psychopaths in the Equipment Department of Kassel Academy. Originally, the psychopaths had planned to pretend to be aloof, because they had always looked down on the guys in the Rock Flow Research Institute whose technology and ideas were far behind theirs. Seeing these guys' relief at having survived the successful detonation of the refined sulfur bomb and the annihilation of the corpse guarding frenzy, the psychopaths in the Equipment Department felt that they would not be as useless as these guys.
But when the vice-president announced that the combat mission was successfully completed, everyone couldn't help but burst into earth-shaking celebration. The researchers from the Rock Flow Research Institute and the psychopaths from the Equipment Department of Kassel College hugged each other and poured half-drunk Coke into each other's mouths.
They originally thought that there was no hope this time, everyone would die in Tokyo, the vision of restoring Gundam Unit-01 and migrating to Mars would be shattered, the elites among mankind would have to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the nation, civilization would regress, and the human race would be extinct... But they didn't expect that they actually succeeded!
There was no reliance on US troops stationed in Okinawa, no reliance on aircraft carrier formations, and no reliance on nuclear bombs and biological weapons... Just a refined sulfur bomb, a refined sulfur bomb and twenty or so people stopped tens of thousands of zombie guards and earth dragon subspecies that invaded human society from the bottom of the sea. This is simply a miracle... A miracle greater than the Battle of Vienna in the Middle Ages!
Even Miyamoto Sawa, the director of the Meteorological Bureau, couldn't help but show a relieved expression. The Tokyo Governor Yukiheiji Kozene, who had been slumped in his chair, jumped up like a catapult. He didn't know what the Shiki were, nor did he know that the human side had just won a war with a huge disparity in numbers. But Chiyuki Yuki told him that the hidden dangers from outside Tokyo Bay were almost resolved, which made Yukiheiji Kozene, who was already almost in despair, want to cry for joy.
"How many corpse guards are left?" asked Deputy Minister Karl.
"The area is too vast to give a precise number, but we estimate the number of surviving Shikigami to be under 500," the thick-spectacled researcher reported. "The Tachibana, Minamoto, and Sakurai families have already dispatched personnel to intercept them along the harbor coastline. They won't allow any Shikigami to escape into human cities."
"The remaining corpse guards are no longer a threat," said the Mediterranean researcher. "They were affected by the explosion and the toxic effects of the refined sulfur bombs. Their combat effectiveness is only about one-tenth of its original level."
"We must remain extremely vigilant," Deputy Minister Karl said in a serious tone. "Just like at Kassel Academy, we must uphold the fine traditions of our Equipment Department and adhere to the principle of 'no success until the lab doors are open!'"
In the Equipment Department of Kassel Academy, there is a strange rule. When a researcher decides to conduct an epoch-making research, the door of the laboratory will not be opened until the research is finally successful. Everything from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating to living and sleeping must be solved in the laboratory. If the researcher cannot eat fresh hamburgers or drink Coke, he will naturally be extremely alert and try every means to complete the experiment as soon as possible... This is the ironclad principle of the Equipment Department. Although it is very crazy, it has to be said that it is precisely such perverted rules that have created such a legendary department.
"Where are the principal and his family?" Deputy Minister Karl asked, "Can you contact them?"
"The explosion of the refined sulfur bomb and the elemental turbulence generated by a certain word spirit have disrupted communications." The researcher with thick glasses shook his head. "We can't reach the helicopter channel, but according to EVA's report just now, both helicopters have successfully evacuated and are flying from the island of Sea Forest Park towards Tokyo."
Cheers and applause rang out again. Since both helicopters had successfully left the battlefield, it at least meant that there were still survivors in this war, and there were quite a few of them. Otherwise, the two helicopters would not have taken off calmly from the island of Sea Forest Park just before the refined sulfur bomb exploded.
The result of this war can be said to be a great victory for the human side.
Chapter 644 Memories and Dreams
The vice-president sat in front of the French window, drinking beer in silence. He did not interrupt the cheering crowd because he knew that they really needed some encouraging news right now. It would be difficult to win the battle if he kept putting pressure on the soldiers and telling them how cruel the war was and how slim the hope was... But at the same time, the vice-president knew very well in his heart that it was still too early to achieve a real victory. The crisis of the corpse guards had been temporarily resolved, but the real disaster was still brewing.
"But this result is much better than I thought. At least you, my old friend, survived." The vice principal clinked his glass in the air and took a sip of wine.
He was happy that Ange was alive, although he felt a little regretful that he could not succeed the old man as the principal of Kassel College. But if the old man died here, the vice-principal would be even more sad. Moreover, the otakus and psychopaths in the hall of the Meteorological Bureau who could only use their brains and type on keyboards could not stop the corpse guards and save the city.
The blue virtual girl tapped her toes silently on the floor and quietly came behind the vice principal.
"The principal is exhausted, and those two little bastards, Caesar and Chu Zihang, must be pretty tired too. The high temperature reaction in Tokyo Bay just now was Uesugi Yue's word spirit, right?" The vice-principal rubbed his chin. "That's right. If this guy doesn't go, it won't be so easy for Ange and the others to stop the corpse guards. So, this precious fighting force can't participate in the battle for the time being, right?"
"According to the communication just sent back, the group also included Fuma Kotaro, head of the Fuma family of the Snake Eight Clan, Sakurai Nanami, head of the Sakurai family, Miyamoto Shio, head of the Miyamoto family, Uesugi Eryi, head of the Uesugi family, and 24 ninjas from the Fuma family," Eva reported to the vice-principal. "These people also suffered varying degrees of casualties. None of the Fuma family ninjas survived, but the heads of the families are all alive. Among them, Eryi Uesugi has lost her ability to fight. The heads of the Fuma, Sakurai, and Miyamoto families should still be able to fight."
"The most formidable Uesugi Erii is incapable of combat? This is truly dire." The Vice Principal burped. "Fuuma Kotaro is somewhat useful, but that old man is no match for a 'god'. Sakurai Nanami is even more of a mortal. Miyamoto Shio... oh, forget about that guy. He's no different from those nerds in the equipment department. His combat effectiveness might even be less than two individual bazookas."
"If the effect of the Word Spirit is taken into account, the head of the Miyamoto family and the two individual rocket launchers may still be converted into equivalent quantities." Eva said truthfully.
"Eva, do you think we will be the final winner of this war?" the vice-principal asked casually.
"I don't know. There are too many uncertainties. The only ones on our side who can pose a threat to 'God' are probably Yuan Zhisheng, Fengjian Liuli, and Lu Mingfei, but I have no information about their whereabouts or whereabouts," Eva said. "The enemy is also a big uncertainty. The principal said that Japan has been shrouded in a huge layer of darkness for many years, isolated from the outside world. Under this layer of darkness, there are many unknown secrets... Maybe our real enemy is not 'God'."
"Whatever our enemy is, I can probably guess he's definitely there now." The Vice Principal's gaze traversed most of Tokyo, gazing westward at the icy, snow-white mountains that led to the Red Well. "The same goes for those little guys you just mentioned. Those who weren't here are all there. That's the very center of this storm. This war is far more than the simple 'god-killing' we initially thought it would be. The direction of this war is unpredictable."
"The head of the Pompeii family has been trying to contact us. Maybe he will have some ideas." Eva asked, "Should we try to ask the Gattuso family for help?"
After a long silence, the vice-principal finally spoke slowly, "Don't we still have those little guys? Lu Mingfei is the 'S' rank that the principal has always placed high hopes on. We haven't lost this war yet. Asking for help before the time comes to win is not a testament to the integrity of our Kassel Academy."
The vice-president's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood. In fact, the most important reason why he did not choose to seek help from the Gattuso family was that he could not see through Pompey's purpose. The playboy-like man was definitely not who he appeared to be. The Gattuso family was not satisfied with just being the largest board member of Kassel Academy and dominating Europe. Whether it was the violent, mysterious behemoth-like family or Caesar's father, whose family was hailed as the most useless patriarch in history, they all possessed devilish ambitions.
Asking them for help to kill "God" is equivalent to asking a devil to kill another devil.
The vice-principal finished the beer in his hand, and the can slowly deformed in his hand, making a "crunching" sound... If there is something in this world that can kill the devil, he can be a holy god, a knight who saves the princess, or even an unknown person who suddenly uses a cheat.
But if it ended with one devil devouring another, plunging the whole world into despair, that would be a terrible ending to the story.
……
Gen Chisheng suddenly woke up. He looked around and saw a sea of green and vitality. The drizzle of autumn rain fell from the sky. The sound of the shrine's bell seemed like a song that could cleanse people's hearts. Gen Chisheng subconsciously hummed a familiar tune along with the bell. It seemed that he often did this, humming melodious tunes accompanied by various sounds.
In the distance, a stream gurgles through the mountains and passes through the center of the town. Now it is nightfall and the whole town is sleeping quietly in the night, with twinkling lights illuminating a corner of the town.
Yuan Zhisheng pressed his temples, his head ached as if it was splitting. He felt as if a large piece of his memory had been scraped off, leaving a blank in his consciousness, and someone forcibly stuffed something that did not belong to him in. Yuan Zhisheng even felt that he had difficulty controlling this body... but he still remembered where this place was.
This is Shikatori Town, where he has lived for more than ten years. Gen Chisheng spent his entire childhood in this town. This long-lost, familiar yet strange feeling makes him feel like he hasn't been back to this town for a long time.
Gen Chisheng looked down at his clothes and suddenly remembered why he appeared in the town of Kanto... He had not been back for a long time, about three years. Gen Chisheng was wearing a long black windbreaker, a long knife on his waist, and a pistol hidden on his back. This was the attire of the Execution Bureau.
Three years ago, he was taken away by a masked man named "The Masked Man" and became the heir to a gangster family and joined the Enforcement Bureau.
He is the youngest commissioner in the Executive Bureau. At the age of seventeen, he became an elite backbone of the Executive Bureau. The veteran cadres all admire him because he is very capable, extremely efficient in carrying out tasks, and always does it perfectly. He is very popular in the Executive Bureau, and perhaps in a few years he will become the new director of the Executive Bureau.
This time he returned to Shikatori Town to carry out a mission. The family's enemy is "ghosts". This "ghost" does not refer to real ghosts or spirits, but an association of high-risk half-bloods who defected from the family. The Executive Bureau is the department set up by the family to kill these dangerous "ghosts".
Yuan Zhisheng remembered that besides the mission of killing evil spirits, he had returned to this town to visit his brother... Is it his brother? It seemed like his younger brother. Yuan Zhisheng's head began to hurt again, and his mind was a little confused.
But no matter whether he is an older brother or a younger brother, they are his closest relatives. They depended on each other during their childhood. This time, after the mission is completed, Yuan Zhisheng plans to take the other party to Tokyo. Next week, his song and dance debut will be held in the Kabuki-za in Tokyo. He wants to invite the other party to watch his performance. He expects the other party to encourage and affirm what he loves.
Yuan Zhisheng looked up at the sky. It was going to be rainy tonight. A large dark cloud was slowly approaching the distant horizon. It seemed that heavy rain would come late at night. Yuan Zhisheng tightened the long knife at his waist, thinking about finishing the mission tonight quickly. He took a step onto the path leading into the town. There were overgrown weeds on both sides of the road.
The "evil spirit" tonight is very dangerous and more terrifying than any "evil spirit" that Gen Chisei has faced before. The "Kanodori Serial Murder Case" has shocked the whole of Japan. In just three months, as many as thirteen girls in Kanodori Town disappeared for no reason. Because the number of people was too large, Kanodori Town raised funds to invite Tokyo detectives to come to the town to investigate, but they found nothing.
The reasons for the girls' disappearance were puzzling. Some girls were clearly sleeping soundly in their rooms late at night, but they were nowhere to be found in the entire house the next day. Their parents checked the doors and windows, and found they were all locked tightly, with no signs of looseness or damage.
There was also a girl who was walking home with her friends after school. Suddenly she remembered that she had left her textbook in the classroom, so she turned around to get it. However, her friends who stayed at the school gate waited for her but did not see the girl come out. So they went back to the classroom to look for her, and found that both the girl's textbook and the girl were missing.
Some girls even stayed with their fathers. The father had just taken an ice cream from the store owner, and when he turned around, he found that the girl was missing. He searched the entire town but could not find any trace of his daughter. No one even said that they had seen his daughter. It was as if the girl had disappeared from the world. The people in the town said that she was captured by an invisible evil spirit and taken to the mountains.
When the Executive Bureau received the news, they immediately concluded that it was a high-risk hybrid who was at work. The girl's inexplicable disappearance was probably caused by the hybrid's spirit. The Executive Bureau also determined that the high-risk hybrid was a male, because the targets of the attack were all girls. Some high-risk hybrids will rapidly secrete dopamine and adrenaline in their bodies when their bloodline is out of control, prompting them to develop some unique and violent emotions towards the opposite sex.
If making no one notice that the girls were abducted was the effect of the Word Spirit, then the physical ability of this high-risk hybrid itself should not be underestimated. There was a case in which two girls disappeared at once, and the combined weight of the two girls was close to 100 kilograms. To be able to abduct two girls silently and suppress the girls' resistance without making any sound requires extremely fast speed and strong physical strength.
Before coming, Yuan Zhisheng had read through the list of missing girls. Those girls were people he knew, most of them were even his elementary school or junior high school classmates. There were two or three girls among them that he had secretly loved, but he never confessed his feelings to those girls because those girls liked his brothers. He did not have as many fans in school as he did in the executive bureau, nor did he have such a high voice because he was very cowardly when he was a child and was often bullied.
This is the place that records Yuan Zhisheng's childhood memories and is a very important part of his life. The hybrid's invasion of this town is equivalent to invading Yuan Zhisheng's life. As the most capable and ruthless law enforcer of the Executive Bureau, Yuan Zhisheng will decisively use the long knife at his waist to end the life of the hybrid. Whether it is out of righteousness or out of selfishness, this battle is full of justice for Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng did not immediately go looking for his brother whom he had not seen for three years, nor did he tell anyone in the town that he was back. He walked along the familiar mountain path and quietly entered the town from a corner without disturbing the people in the town.
When Yuan Zhisheng arrived in the town, the night was gradually deepening. Strangely, the town, which should have been brightly lit, was still dark and silent. Perhaps the recent serial disappearances of young girls had made the residents of the town panic and insecure. At night, every household did not turn on the lights to create the illusion that no one was at home to the terrible serial killer.
Yuan Zhisheng climbed onto the roof of a house and hid in the night. After nightfall, the drizzle gradually became heavier, and soon it turned into a downpour. Yuan Zhisheng did not look for a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but still stayed quietly on the roof, just turning up the collar of his windbreaker to keep warm.
This is a good thing. With no girls going out, the whole town is very quiet. This is perfect for Yuan Zhisheng to hide in the dark and wait quietly for the hungry prey to be exposed to the hunter's eyes.
A long dragon-like light suddenly appeared in the distance, attracting Yuan Zhisheng's attention. Yuan Zhisheng turned his head and looked in the direction of another entrance to the village. Girls were lined up in a long queue at the foot of the mountain. They were holding light controllers in their hands, with their hair tied in buns on their heads. They were all wearing red and white long cotton coats, white socks and wooden clogs on their feet... These were the costumes of shrine maidens.
Gennochi suddenly remembered that this was a custom of the Kadori Shrine called the "Miko Festival". This should have been one of the busiest days of the year for the entire town. Children would come to the street to watch the apprentice shrine maidens holding lanterns and walking gracefully from the foot of the mountain to the Kadori Shrine on the mountainside. They would worship in front of the incense burner of the shrine, singing waka poems belonging to the shrine maidens, and praying for peace and happiness for the entire town for the whole year.
It has been so long since I last visited Sword Town that Yuan Zhisheng even forgot that today is the "Miko Festival".
Chapter 645 Ghost Girl
The Miko Festival is a festival that has only emerged in the town in recent decades, but the history of Kadori Shrine can be traced back hundreds of years.
According to legend, during the Edo period, a hunter killed a snow-white deer in the mountains. When he was about to kill the deer and cook it for dinner, the deer suddenly showed human-like panic, and then spoke in human language, begging the hunter to let her go, and she would definitely repay the hunter handsomely. The hunter was attracted by the ethereal and crisp voice of the deer, and driven by curiosity, he loosened the rope that bound the deer. Unexpectedly, the deer turned into a woman in white clothes with snow-white skin in front of him.
The hunter was so ferocious that he wanted to take off the clothes of the woman who had transformed from the white deer and rape her, but the woman calmly told the hunter that pleasure was only temporary and illusory, but happiness, well-being and harmony were eternal. If the hunter put away his murderous and violent nature, the woman would not only be willing to serve him for the rest of his life, but also to ensure the safety of his descendants for three lifetimes.
The hunter was moved by the woman. He no longer treated her harshly, nor ordered her around like a servant. Instead, he treated her with respect. The two spent twenty years building a shrine deep in the mountains called "Shinako". On the day the shrine was completed, the woman, transformed into a white deer, disappeared in plain sight. She left a letter for the hunter, which read: "I was originally a small mountain deity. I accidentally lost my power and was hunted by you. Now, because of the construction of the shrine you have built, I have regained my power. I am sorry to have kept this secret from you, but I have not deceived you. I will use my power to pray for you. You will surely live to the ripe old age of 100, and your descendants will enjoy ten years of health and peace."
Later, the hunter became the first chief priest of Kanojima Shrine. He really lived to the age of 100 and died of old age. Many people who heard the mysterious story of Kanojima Shrine came from afar to pray for peace and happiness. They spread out and multiplied at the foot of the mountain, and gradually developed into the Kanojima town of today. The hunter's descendants have also inherited the position of chief priest of the shrine. Today, the chief priest of Kanojima Shrine happens to be the hunter's great-grandson, that is, the third life of the deer woman's promise.
