Girls, welcome to the Desire Bus

He can condemn one person and forgive everyone.

Seriously...he is really strong.

But the watchmaker was not optimistic about his work style.

Too flamboyant, not cautious enough.

But... forget it.

Having the master of the Church of Thorns as a teammate this time is undoubtedly the most powerful helper.

Desire Bus owner...I'm sorry.

For me, for my town, for my future...

You can only die.

"I only want one." The watchmaker stated his request: "I only want Oboro Muramasa."

"She was one of the Ten Espadas under the previous owner of the Desire Bus. She is very powerful and has special abilities."

"I need her abilities."

The man in white suit drank the flaming rose in the cup and breathed a sigh of relief.

"no problem."

"Except for Oboro Muramasa, the rest of the Nine Blades will all belong to me."

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Then... the deal is done."

In the bar, two people began to discuss how to surround and kill the owner of the Desire Bus.

the other side.

The Binqi City, which was originally filled with the night sky, was gradually covered with a layer of thick fog and black clouds.

Miss Sachiko in a red dress and Nanako with a cute school bag on her back are looking at the foggy Hamasaki City.

Ms. Sachiko: “It’s starting…”

Nanako: “Oh, this is so annoying!”

Miss Sachiko: "Protecting... the master... is my duty."

Nanako: “Okay, okay, I get it!”

Ms. Sachiko: "Show... the results."

Nanako put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Okay, okay, if we don't protect Amakawa Ryo, we will die too, right?"

"In that case, let's go all out!"

Chapter 123: Believers, Confrontation, Winners and Losers

Accompanied by Miss Sachiko's reminder.

Nanako took a deep breath, jumped, and fell rapidly from the tall building.

However, Nanako did not fall to the ground and turn into a pool of blood, but turned into pieces of paper scattered in the sky.

These pieces of paper all contain missing person notices in different versions and formats.

Like snowflakes, they flew to the streets and alleys of the city.

Although Missing Person's ability to kill alone is very weak, she has an ability that other urban legends cannot compare to.

That is... the scope and the number of people affected.

For example, although Ms. Sachiko is very powerful, without the help of a medium, she can only influence one person at a time.

On the other hand, Mr. Faceless is also very capable. He can borrow the identity of the other party through imitation, thereby performing something similar to [Field].

For example, after pretending to be a policeman, you can generate a police station or prison area.

If it is a doctor, a consulting room will be generated.

But no matter what, Mr. Faceless can only influence one person.

But missing person notices are different.

Her abilities are extremely wide-ranging, and if they reach their extreme, she can even affect an entire city of people at once.

But correspondingly, the conditions for activating her abilities are also extremely harsh.

Only those who are willing and want to find her can enter the hunting field of missing person notices.

In other words...her ability is only for those with a strong sense of morality.

Since learning that Hamaki City has become the main battlefield of [Conflict], Miss Sachiko has begun special training for Nanako.

Now, she no longer looks like an elementary school student, but an adult girl who looks slightly more mature, but still has the height of a child.

And her abilities have also evolved after training.

Her ability...is no longer limited to the so-called "sense of morality". As long as someone sees the missing person notice, even the most evil person will have their remaining sense of morality aroused.

Then, he tore off the [Missing Person Notice] uncontrollably.

From a passive trap, it has become an active means of attack.

If she continues to strengthen... maybe one day, she will be able to devour all the people in the city overnight.

Maybe... as time goes by, she will grow into an urban legend comparable to the [Espada].

Miss Sachiko thought so while standing on the roof.

"City...Invaders..."

"The Thorn Sin...Church..."

"The faithful...are numerous..."

"Master...Danger..."

"Nanako..."

“Excuse me, do you believe in the existence of God?”

On the street, a man in a very smart suit stopped a young girl and asked her.

"Eh?"

"What? Is this the new and popular way to pick up girls?"

"What a strange uncle."

The girl ignored him and turned away.

But the man did not get discouraged and continued to look for the next person.

“Excuse me, do you believe in the existence of God?”

"Sorry...I'm in a hurry."

However, the man did not give up.

Just as he was about to look for his next target, a fluttering piece of paper fell from above.

The man picked up the paper subconsciously.

There is a cute boy printed on it.

"Ok?"

"Is it a missing person notice?"

"Is this little boy lost?"

"Oh~ This is terrible! Such a kind and lovely lost lamb, I must rescue him!"

The moment the man saw the little boy, a dark and deep desire in his heart instantly broke out.

There was only one thought left in his mind.

That is...rescue the little boy.

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, the world began to spin in front of his eyes.

When the man came to his senses, he was already standing in a street filled with thick fog.

In the thick fog, there was only one voice guiding him quietly.

"Go ahead, the little boy is right there~"

"Go find him and rescue him, brave knight~"

There was an unprecedented light in the man's eyes.

He followed the voice's instructions and walked towards the thick fog little by little.

One step, one step...and finally disappear.

At the same time, many strange missionaries appeared in Binqi City.

These people are men and women, old and young.

At the same time, many missing person notices appeared in front of them.

----

Ok?

The man in the white suit, who was discussing countermeasures with the watchmaker in the bar, suddenly felt something strange.

The believers I brought with me are disappearing at a very fast speed...

One, two, three...

Ten, twenty, thirty...

The speed is getting faster and faster, and there is even a tendency to spread further.

However, the man in white suit did not seem to care too much. He glanced at the little boy beside him and smiled calmly.

"I didn't expect that the owner of the Desire Bus would take action so quickly."

"It seems that he is more difficult to deal with than we thought."

The little boy giggled.

"They are just some soulless believers. They are dead if they die."

"If we can take this opportunity to get some clues about the owner of the Desire Bus, it would be a good thing."

The watchmaker saw something.

"Aren't you going to save those believers?"

“Save? Why should I save him?” The man in white suit looked at the watchmaker in disbelief, as if lamenting the watchmaker’s stupidity.

"I am the master of the Thorn Sin Church and the only Lord they believe in."

"Isn't it their happiness to devote themselves to their Lord?"

"How can I bear to deprive them of their happiness?"

Watchmaker: "......"

Knew it.

The [Defenders] of each city have different personalities.

Some are greedy, some are humble, some are violent, and some are simply indifferent, like the owner of the Church of Thorns.

The man in the white suit gave the watchmaker a cold look and stopped talking to him.

In his opinion, the watchmaker was a very cowardly guy.

As the [Defender] of the city, if you don't even have this level of awareness, then everything you do in the future will be half-hearted.

Throughout history, those who have accomplished great things must have been heroes who had their success built on the sacrifice of countless others.

When a few insignificant believers died, he showed that expression.
