Harusa's body stiffened and seemed to fall into a strange realm.

The poem was gone, a black mist appeared, and bright red flowers slowly rose on the ground, blooming gorgeously.

Syllable!

A pair of green arms protruded from the ground and grabbed his feet hard, bringing with them a rotting stench.

These hands Harusa recognizes that they are the hands of ghouls!

It seems to be called Yamamoto or something?

The distorted face that followed confirmed his thoughts.

Hair is messy, eyes bulging, covered with green threads...... It's the anomalous creature that was once a human being that was dealt with in the first place!!

"Woo-hoo-" A mournful cry came from the ghoul's mouth.

Its claws grabbed Harusa's feet and pulled it down with great force!

"Uh-huh......" Haruji felt a sharp pain as he saw his feet sink down, into an ominous situation of cold, sticky, and pitch black.

He tried to move his right hand, trying to do something, but suddenly he was grabbed by a hand reaching from behind!

This hand has wide blue-white sleeves, which are human hands but appear strangely pale.

Harusa first recognized the sleeve as the sleeve of the hunting suit, and then recognized whose hand it belonged to-

Akatsuki Mite!!

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't.

A cold, biting chill came from Mite's hand, seeping into his arm, quickly freezing the blood in it and spreading to his body.

Return of the Dead...... Is it?

In the face of such a terrifying situation, Harusa not only did not fear, but the corners of his mouth curled.

This kind of plot is too old-fashioned! If you want to scare me, at least do some new tricks!!

Having realized that this was the realm of the soul, he immediately used his imagination.

Suddenly, the golden light flashed, and Harusa's right hand instantly turned into a mechanical arm, and his fingers shot out lasers, and his palm was flipped three hundred and sixty degrees, cutting off Mite's hand at once!

Then the mechanical arm stretched down, and the palm of the hand expanded and grabbed the entire face of the ghoul, and the palm erupted with fierce flames!

"Woo-a

"I don't want to die...... It's all your ......."

"Ahh

Harusa burned the ghouls, then turned into a lightsaber in his left hand and stabbed it backwards, stabbing something with a pop.

"I feel guilty, but that's not for you!"

"I feel guilty, but not for you!"

"Dead guy, just shut up and get away!Don't think you can pull me along!!"

Bang...... Golden light erupted, drowning out shrill cries of hatred and resentment.

"Jingle Bell~"

It was like the sound of a bell shaking again, faintly far away.

The black fog disappeared, the flowers on the other side disappeared, and the sound of the sea breeze was heard again, and Xiao Shi looked at him worriedly.

“…… I'm fine. Harusa smiled at her.

Then he looked around...... Didn't see anything.

"Brother......

"I must have fallen into the soul realm just now, and someone may have used a soul spell on me. ”

“…… I didn't see anything. Xiao Shi frowned.

"This means that the caster is very hidden, or ......" Harusa thought for a moment, then reached out and touched the head of the righteous sister, "It's not your fault, don't care." ”

"I'm my brother's Shikigami ......"

"Well, I'm relieved to have you by my side. I felt something wrong just now because you disappeared from me, and if it was just me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have reacted so quickly. Harusa smiled.

Xiaoshi felt warm, but she couldn't accept the comfort with peace of mind.

As a Shikigami, the righteous brother was attacked by his side, but he didn't even notice the caster...... It's a shame!

To be able to cast a soul spell so covertly, the enemy is undoubtedly very strong.

How can you stop the same thing from happening? Kagura thought of a simple way.

She silently shook Haruji's hand.

Qing Sima Shang understood what Yimei meant, and also held her hand.

Holding hands can greatly enhance the connection with each other, effectively increasing resistance to soul attacks.

Of course, if the enemy's spell is too strong, it will end up dying together...... But judging from the experience just now, the caster is not strong enough to do that, or he doesn't want to do that.

If it's really dangerous, there's still Huangquan A-dream.

Whether the female royal soul wakes up voluntarily is already a benchmark for Harusa. Huang Quan did not take the initiative to speak, which means that the danger is relatively limited.

Of course, you can't rely on her too much, after all, she is not really a cat-like robot from the future.

What just happened was more like a warning.

After telling Xiaoshi about the situation, Harusa thought silently.

……

When I saw Saito again, the curly-haired man was alone with his back to the railing, looking up at the sky with a cigarette in his mouth, and his posture and expression were a bit literary.

"Mr. Saito......"

"Uh...... Mr. Haruta, have you come back from your walk?" Saito said, looking at Harusa, taking the cigarette from his mouth.

Then he noticed that Qingji and Xiaoshi were holding hands, and immediately smiled: "The relationship is so good~"

Harusa stared at the other man's face.

"Mr. Saito, I would like to ask you, why did you come forward and suggest playing cards?"

Hearing this, Saito's gaze froze.

This change in expression was subtle, but Harusa, who was looking at the other party carefully, noticed it keenly.

"I just want to fight, because it's boring to sit dry...... Mr. Haruta, aren't you too?"

"Well, I was really bored, and I thought you and everyone else were like this, but something happened just now that made me think again. Harusa said in a low voice, "What is happening on this ship, and you deliberately attract the attention of other people, it is likely that it is the initiator or the participant." ”

Saito: "............"

"You may think I know something, but in fact, I don't know anything. Harusa said bluntly.

"I think Mr. Saito is a trustworthy person, so I'll be honest with you: I'm a son of the Haruta family, but now I'm in a state of exile, and although I'm related to Haruta Junto, I haven't crossed paths at all, and I've never even met each other. ”

"Boarding the ship was free and hassle-free, without any particular purpose. ”

Saito looked at him, his eyes flickering.

"I want to know what is happening, or what has happened, and I hope Mr. Saito will tell me. Harusa said in a sincere tone.

The scene fell silent.

Saito took a deep puff of his cigarette, slowly exhaled it, and finally flicked the end of the cigarette into the sea.

"Whether what you say is true or not, it doesn't matter if you talk about it. ”

"After all, even people like me can know that people at the top should also ...... No, I must have known it for a long time. ”

"'Avengers'...... Let's just call it that. ”

"'Avengers'?" Haruji was stunned for a moment.

The name reminded him of a famous superhero group from his previous life!

"Well, in the Blood Wine Ceremony, it is an alliance of revenge for the high-ranking guys such as the Seven Onmyoji Masters and the Samurai Imperial Three Families. Saito explained.

"As long as you join, you can gain great power in battle to kill those people. ”

"It is said that a mysterious person who has the entire list of participants in the war has approached certain hateful combatants and proposed an alliance that will allow them to spread information and attract more people to join. ”

"'This is revenge, it is also revolution, a new era has come, it is time to overthrow the old order'...... The mysterious man said something like this. ”
