"It's a really good knife."
The campground owner looked at the kitchen knife in his hand, which was polished to a gleaming shine, and then glanced at the survivors huddled like quails in the corner. "This will save us some pain."
It’s not that the survivors didn’t want to rely on their numerical advantage to defeat him - in fact, after being lured into the convenience store and realizing they had been tricked, some grumpy travelers wanted to take action.
Then, in front of the other survivors, they were twisted into a knot by some invisible strange force.
It's not an exaggeration, it's a literal translation. He turned into a human stick like a twisted dough stick, and blood and internal organs splattered all over the ground like a crushed tomato.
The scene was so exaggerated that several timid passengers fainted from fright.
As several female survivors were cursed and shed their human skin in front of their relatives, friends and loved ones, and joined those twisted invisible monsters, the remaining survivors completely lost even the last bit of resistance in their hearts, leaving only the bottomless fear of their boss after their San value plummeted.
DuangDuangDuang.
Someone knocked on the rolling door.
The boss stopped sharpening the knife and looked a little surprised.
Then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and as he whispered a strange and obscure spell, the invisible force pulled down the wooden bars nailed on the side door, and the boss put down the kitchen knife and walked out quickly from the side door.
"Oh, isn't this the young guest who was so high and mighty this morning? Where's your JK travel companion?"
Looking at the young man standing in front of the rolling shutter, the boss smiled a deceptively kind smile and said, "Did you get caught in the mudslide? That's truly unfortunate... Anyway, come back here and you'll be safe. My convenience store is certified by the disaster relief department. Come on in."
Li Mo glanced at him with a half-smile, then made a 'this is the last time' gesture towards the rolling door (note).
The flames exploded, burning a hole two meters in diameter on the thickened steel rolling door that was said to be able to withstand even natural gas explosions, revealing the strange scene inside.
"Oh, this is so safe."
Li Mo sneered with a wry smile.
Although Muggles couldn't see them, he could clearly see the mountain creatures. Some of them were lurking in the dark corners of the room, some were climbing on the walls like geckos, and some were lying at the doorway, eager to try something. Their limbs were not exactly the same, and their body shapes were subtly different, but their eyes full of malice were the only thing that was the same.
"...It seems that the disappearance of the two divine messengers before was caused by you? Boy, how did you find out?"
The smile on the camping ground owner's face disappeared instantly, and he began to glare at Li Mo fiercely.
"It's all too obvious. Mount Kumotori is a tourist attraction, but there's no cell phone signal in a campground like this. Did you destroy the nearby base station? Besides, the muffled sound before the landslide... probably something like explosives. Those things don't look like they'd be used to bury explosives, so doesn't that mean there must be some human 'accomplices' out there?"
Li Mo said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm sure of this. The main reason is that you clearly said you'd called the police, but up until now, not to mention the search and rescue team, there's not even a police car to be seen. The people down the mountain don't even know what's going on. You even informed the people down there via wired communication about the landslide to prevent anyone from entering the mountain and noticing anything wrong, right?"
"[The dark offspring who dwells in the darkness, gave birth to the mother of the ever-growing Senluo, and commands the invisible shepherd's whip——"
"【snake】"
The campsite owner quickly uttered strange and obscure words that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, while Li Mo looked at him coldly and just whispered a word.
"H…Gah!"
The next moment, the campground owner's spell was interrupted, and his tongue turned into a small snake spitting out its tongue, making his voice sound unclear, as if he had a big root in his mouth.
Perhaps due to the backlash of the spell or other reasons, the middle-aged man coughed up a large amount of black mucus with a strong fishy smell from his mouth. Even the white area around his pupils was stained with black blood.
He tried hard to control the little snake in his mouth that was still connected to the root of his tongue, and roared out an unclear command with hatred and fear: "Sha... kill him!"
So those mountain pieces that were originally ready to go squeezed out from the hole burned by Li Mo like a pack of wolves and pounced on Li Mo.
The boss himself used his hands and feet to escape into the convenience store through the side door in a panic.
The monster Shan Zhizi, which is extremely terrifying to ordinary people, poses almost no threat to Li Mo.
His whole body bloomed a fiery red.
The [candle] that would have gone out quickly without "fuel" was now clinging to the [scales] covering Li Mo's body, making the originally invisible [scales] appear like a long, wide crimson thing.
At this moment, Li Mo, who was wearing the blazing fire candle, looked more like the god of death who was reaping lives rather than a wizard - those monsters that could easily kill adult men would be burned to ashes by the flames of the candle the moment they touched the fire candle.
"Even the grimoire doesn't describe combining these two spells... In that case, let's call this move 'Cursed Flame Scale'. It has a beauty that will be limited to one in strength."
Li Mo spoke some nonsensical words casually and walked into the convenience store with ease, the entire rolling door of which was melted by the cursed fire scales.
Note: I originally wanted to use "What dirty fireworks" here, but the Dragon Ball meme is the tears of the times after all, so I changed it to the Naruto meme.
Chapter 126: The Taste of Justice.
"Don't come over here!"
Inside the convenience store, watching Li Mo, who was glowing like a god, slowly approaching, the campground owner mumbled and yelled at him in panic, "If you dare take another step forward, I'll take these innocent people with me!"
Li Mo frowned.
However, some of the survivors who were taken hostage also mustered up the courage to shout: "Don't worry about us, just defeat this monster!"
Li Mo nodded.
"it is good."
Then he snapped his fingers, and the survivors were burned by a fire, screaming miserably in the flames.
"Okay, now you don't have any hostages."
Li Mo said with a smile.
"You, you are the monster!"
The campground owner was dumbfounded: Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?
"When did you develop the delusion that I was a messenger of justice?"
Li Mo spread his hands while pressing harder: "Besides, whether it's destroying a base station or tinkering with explosives to cause a landslide, your methods are definitely not perfect. It wouldn't be difficult for modern criminal investigation to find evidence of your crime..."
"The strange story about the Mountain Item has been going on for half a year. That means you've been at Yunqu Mountain for at least half a year. Why was everything peaceful before, with only a few minor incidents like the disappearance of a woman or two, but this time you've gone on a rampage and left no room for retreat?"
"There's only one reason. That's because you intend to perform some kind of act, such as a sacrifice, a ritual, or a sacrificial ceremony. In short, including this victim, you've already gathered the necessary numbers. As long as you can accomplish your goal, Mount Kumotoriki will no longer be necessary for you. You can fake your own death or escape by some other means."
"Then the easiest way to stop you is to prevent you from gathering enough people."
Li Mo's smile became even more cruel and distorted under the light of the fire: "Right?"
"You stinky brat!"
The campground owner picked up the kitchen knife nearby and rushed towards Li Mo.
Although it was impossible for the opponent to hurt Li Mo, and even because of the counter-injury effect of the cursed fire scales, he would only be burned to ashes, but Li Mo felt that this was too easy for the opponent.
"【snake】"
The campsite owner's heel and tendon collapsed, turning into many earthworm-sized snakes crawling all over the ground. He fell heavily and couldn't even stand up.
"Damn it, damn it!"
The boss, with blood all over his mouth, was still struggling.
"Your power..."
Li Mo looked down at him, then glanced at the mountain creatures around him who no longer dared to approach him, and asked coldly: "Where did these things come from?"
"Hehehe, if you just hold on to these questions, you'll never get the answers in your lifetime..."
The campground owner sneered and said something like, "Broken Jar".
Li Mo didn't respond, but just moved his fingers, and the boss screamed in pain as several snakes fell from behind.
Only then did Li Mo say in a relieved tone, "Actually, I'm not that interested in those things, but I have a lot of novel ideas for my own spells. Usually, I have no subjects to experiment with, so I have to keep them to myself. But now I have a scumbag like you who I can experiment with without any psychological burden. It's really great."
This was not to intimidate the other party, but Li Mo was really interested in what happened when many spells took effect on people, just like he turned the boss's heels and tendons into small snakes, and the other party's feet were like they were born deformed, except that the original tissues disappeared, replaced by a piece of intact skin.
But now, the little snake he transformed from the boss's back was as if it had directly cut the flesh from the other person. The other person's back was covered with wounds, which were bloody and looked very creepy.
"Kill, kill me..."
The campground owner pleaded.
"It's a beautiful thought."
Li Mo refused without hesitation.
"Are you... a demon..."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Then he turned half of the opponent's body into a bunch of snakes, and controlled the snakes to drill in and out of the opponent's remaining body.
"My power... suddenly appeared in my mind... It appeared after I saw the messenger of God..."
The campground owner finally seemed unable to bear the torture and broke down in hysterics, saying, "Kill, kill me!!!"
Perhaps it was too painful, he didn't even realize that his tongue had been freed from the curse and he could speak normally.
"I have one more question."
Li Mo touched his chin and asked, "Half a year ago, were you the first person to post something about the Mountain Article on 2ch?"
"it's me……"
The other party answered with a weak breath.
Li Mo asked seriously: "In the story, what happened to your daughter in the end?"
As a result, the campsite owner stopped talking and just stared at Li Mo with a strange look.
After a moment, the other party slowly said: "She was the first person to become a divine messenger. My wife was the second."
"You're just looking at it?"
Li Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not... I tricked my wife into assimilating with the messenger of God."
"What an outstanding scumbag."
Li Mo said with disgust.
"Hey hey hey..."
However, the other party did not continue to answer, but instead let out an unpleasant laugh.
"what's so funny."
Li Mo frowned.
"You claim not to be a messenger of justice... yet you're dissatisfied with something like this. In the end, didn't I prove you wrong? You're still a good person after all! Those hostages... hmph, they were just unconscious, right? The flames that could instantly burn a messenger to ashes haven't extinguished even now, burning those ordinary people. Were they just deliberately trying to hide their presence from me..."
"At this point, do you still want to turn the tables?"
Li Mo calmly looked at the campsite owner who only had half of his body left and could be killed by his curse at any time.
"Hehehe... Of course I no longer have a chance. Everything was doomed to failure the moment I underestimated you."
The middle-aged man stared at Li Mo intently. The fierce glint in his eyes even made Li Mo feel as if he was staring into the malicious eyes of the Mountain Item for a moment. "But this doesn't mean you win... Haven't you noticed that half of the gods are no longer in the room?"
"I'll destroy them all later."
Li Mo said: "Killing them is no more troublesome than crushing an ant."
"Hehehe, I've given up control of the Divine Messengers... They're free now, no longer trapped on this mountain... If even just one Divine Messenger escapes and enters human society, their numbers will explode exponentially! Everything has already... Wah-ah-ah!"
Li Mo glanced at his boss who was engulfed in flames, then took a deep breath.
"I hope it's not too late...it's just the reserves of magic power...never mind, now is not the time to worry about that."
The surrounding mountain creatures who were only covering their own escape seemed to realize something, but it was too late.
"【candle】!"
Chapter 127: Cannon Pig.
Wildfires usually refer to fires that occur in mountains and forests and are difficult to control.
Ordinary forest fires are often caused by coincidences such as a cigarette butt or a lightning bolt that happens to hit a tree. Although once the fire accumulates to a certain level, it will spread very fiercely - otherwise there would be no saying in military strategy that invasion is like fire - but it still takes a considerable amount of time for the fire to gradually ignite from a small spark.
"So this fire that ignited the entire mountain in an instant is definitely not a normal wildfire!"
Wen Shui He Yan, who was not far from the trailhead at the foot of the mountain, looked at the fire that suddenly broke out around him and felt that he was about to become Boiling Shui He Yan.
But after running a few steps, he felt something was wrong again.
There was a raging fire all around, and although one could indeed feel the heat coming towards them, it didn't seem to be that hot... It was rather too mild. Even the thick smoke and the feeling of suffocation caused by the consumption of a large amount of air that should have appeared in a fire were not there.
Not only that, through the flames, one could see that the trees that should have been on fire, regardless of their leaves or branches, showed no signs of being burned to charcoal, as if the flames were not burning the trees themselves, but something else...
Of course, even so, Wen Shui He Yan had no intention of touching this strange flame.
