Chapter 324: Grotesque: The Eight-Head Pattern (I)
May 28, 7 p.m
"At the moment, Ise Jingu and its affiliated three shrines have not expressed any opinions on why the Jinjin volcano erupted suddenly, and it is also very strange that the weather has been different from the forecast of the academy city many times recently, so please listen below."
After "Di" Chong turned off the TV, he sat on the sofa and was stunned
"There may be a disaster in your country, the flash flood or the awakening of the alien beast are the precursors, and it won't be long before something extremely terrifying happens" At that time, the sky fox told himself, now that the beast and the flash flood have arrived, what will make a sky fox who already belongs to the mysterious side describe it as extremely terrifying?
"I looked around to make sure there was no one, there was a temple fair in Tokyo tonight, Tamamo was simply taken away by others after Bai persuaded himself to go with him to no avail, although Cerberus wanted to stay, but he was also separated by himself, and as for Ji Si Xiuta, he said that he was going to meet an old friend and left, but it was also convenient for himself
He rolled up his sleeve to reveal the hideous pattern on his arm, and then he meditated on an object in his mind
The pattern rose from the arm as if it had come to life, and then the lines of the eight snake's heads overlapped to form a delicate black crossbow, the handle of which was imprinted on the arm, but the rest of the place was the same as a normal crossbow arrow
"Whew!" Chong's crossbow arrow was nailed to the wall next to the dining table, and then the arrow slowly turned into a dot of ink and penetrated deep into the wall
"It's like it's alive," Chong grinded his palm against the wall, then used his patterned left hand to point a little bit of ink on the wall and returned to his arm, taking a hole in the wall with him
"It's a good thing not only to be able to change the shape freely, but also to be able to suck the objects it touches into the print," Chong could only sigh like this, this is definitely a good thing, of course, he has also prepared for side effects, but presumably the benefits should outweigh the bad results
"The problem must be in this head-like place," Chong reincarnated the sigil back into his body and looked closely at the snake-like head, four of the eight "heads" on his chest and the rest on the four sides of his arms, all pointing south
"Could it be a treasure hunt?" Of course, I don't know if it's a treasure or not, but since the martyred samurai will give this thing to himself, it means that there is still something unfinished that he wants to finish, and besides, it will definitely not be bad if it is taken from the emperor's corpse
"There's a ninja suit in the basement, let's see if I can still wear it."
Ten minutes later
Chong finally gave up his plan to go out in that suit, not to mention that it's modern now, it's unrealistic to parkour on the roof in a ninja costume, the key is that the costume seems to be a women's limited edition, and it's still a crotch cloth I really don't know what the ninja wears inside. Clothes go out!
(Turned around?) The head of the snake, which had slightly exposed its cuffs, suddenly turned to the left
"While blending in with the crowd around me, I kept an eye out for the turn of the snake's head, because there was a temple fair today, so the crowd was much larger than usual, and most of the people were wearing kimonos and clogs, so the crowd moved slowly
“?” Soon after following the snake's head, Chong suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the color of the tattoo began to change, first reddish-brown, then purple to red, and from time to time it glowed red, and the already hideous appearance looked even more like it wanted to devour people
"Look around a few times, but all you can see is people, and he can't feel the existence of any evil energy, which can basically rule out the possibility of demons disguised as humans and mixed in the city
Suddenly, a pale hand reached out behind his back, and then quietly rested on his shoulder
“!” Grab the other person's arm hard and pull it to your side, trying to do it directly when the crowd is chaotic?!
"Chong actually realized that something was wrong when he first pulled it over, because no matter how bold a youkai was, it would be impossible for him to dare to mess around under the noses of so many people, and once his guess was wrong, it could cause very serious consequences
-- That's right, it looks like I'm forcing a girl into my arms. State the same
"Wow~ What does Senior Chong want to do to me in public?" But fortunately, the other party is not a girl who will make a big fuss.,On the contrary, she still whispered in a tone full of mischief.
"Sorry, I made a mistake" After letting go of his hand, Chong took the lead in apologizing, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, but you have to pay a little bit to compensate for it," the girl smiled heartily, "Do you have time to accompany the two of us to the temple fair?" ”
"If you really want to, then I have time now" Chong replied hesitantly, it wasn't boyfriend and girlfriend anyway, and it was okay to deliberately get lost with them in the temple fair when the time came
"Thank~" The girl directly and boldly grabbed her arm and walked forward, while the slightly shy sister smiled apologetically
Here's what I want to introduce.,The two sisters in front of me are called Ara Liang Huo Ren and Ah Liang Liang Yuehuo.,That's right, it's the brother and sister of the pale man Ah Liang Liang Mu Li.,This appearance is to help his brother brush up on his sense of existence cough cough.,I didn't say anything just now.
"Oops~ Brother and Sister Zhan Yuan went to the temple fair alone and left us at home, and I don't want to think about how this kind of thing can stop me by locking the door~" Ara Liang Huolian, who is energetic and action-oriented, is likely to take his sister directly over the wall or jump out of the window, and here is one more thing, the two of them have met many times with themselves, and for some reason they suddenly became very familiar with themselves, and the reason why they met many times is because they often go to a café called "Rabbit.House", Others think that they are going to see those loli waiters and the two of them are simple guests, but in fact, the positions of both sides need to be reversed, they are going to buy cakes and occasionally do it, and they are the real uncles (positive faces) At least once I have witnessed their feat of drinking a cup of coffee for five hours, of course, it can't be the whole thing, it's just that I passed by the café when I went out and came back
"yes, brother, it's too much," Moonfire nodded as well
"Ahh
"That's just going to make my brother burn himself to death" Ara Liang Yuehuo obviously realized that what he had to worry about when showing affection in front of his brother was not the low-level problem of preparing a first-aid kit, but the problem of what should be burned for both of them during the festival
(Have you already left that thing...... When the two sisters were chatting enthusiastically, he noticed that the tattoo had quieted down again, and it was difficult to do it in such a conspicuous place, and if it was not good, it might hurt a lot of innocents
"That's right, senior Chong, I'll be promoted to high school next year, please be sure to help me reserve a place in the Discipline Department when the time comes~" Ara Liang Huoren suddenly saluted, "Thank you~"
"When the time comes, it's not my responsibility" In addition to the student union, all the personnel of the social department will change when they are promoted, and there are many seniors in the current discipline department who are in the third year of high school to support themselves, and I am afraid that they will step down as soon as the second year of high school is over
"It's impossible for seniors to lose the general election in the sophomore year of high school," Ara Liang fires his confidence somewhere
"I think so too," Arara Yuehuo nodded in agreement
"Perhaps" the premise is that he is still living in the city at the time of selection
"Ah~ Tonight's temple fair is so lively~" Before they knew it, they had arrived at the temple fair, and it was indeed a very lively scene, and there were many acquaintances inside
"Then Chongsenpai thank you for escorting the two of us here~ Anyway, when the time comes, you will definitely pretend to be separated from us and leave alone, so just separate from us here~" Arara Huo Ren let go of his hand and jumped a few steps forward, "Goodbye~Samurai~"
Chong nodded and watched them leave, then walked in the opposite direction, continuing to follow the seal
"Lots of food"
"Delicious Humans"
"I can't help but drool" Chong suddenly heard such a discussion around him, so he hurriedly looked back, but there was no one around at all, let alone a youkai hidden in the crowd
(Not a single one?) Chong realized that something was wrong, as if he had been separated from society, and no one passed by him, but the other roads that came into view were crowded with people
"It's just a small price to pay for using my powers," replied hoarsely from his arm, "You're in another world now, that world is called weird, and the sound you just heard is also made by the monsters in this world"
"I know you humans like to make deals, so let's have a fair conversation, I can obediently stay by your side and help you at all times, but only if you do me a small favor" The voice suddenly changed to a thick middle-aged man, "This world has been opened a passage, I just warned you but you didn't pay attention, now I want you to return to that place and help me seal the gate"
"Why," Chong asked, "you should also be the embodiment of a monster, could it be that you are a good demon?" ”
"In your eyes, there are no good monsters in the world, and Lao Tzu is not a monster! I'm the monster Yabi Orochi! At the beginning, your guy who cut off my tail distributed my power to the generations of descendants, and stipulated that when they died, they should divide a part of me and burn it on their lute bones with fire, which means that their souls can be escorted by me to heaven or hell" The mark said angrily, "Good luck for you, the body of the unlucky, unknown emperor was taken from his soul, so my ban was also lifted, and then the samurai who cut off eight fingers in order not to be manipulated threw me to you, I don't know why your soul is so powerful that I can actually speak when I am attached to you."
"Cutting off your fingers so you don't get manipulated?" Thinking of the living corpse with only two fingers left, could it be that there is something hidden in this? By the way, this guy probably witnessed the whole process of the incident
"I advise you not to listen to it, this is a very horrible story" He could clearly feel the chill of the sigil "That thing is even more terrifying than the guys who caused me in the first place, that thing shouldn't be haunted by the world"
"Anyway, listen to me, go and seal the passage first, and then I can tell you something about it" I don't know why it seems to be very anxious, "If you don't hurry up, it's too late"
“…… Chong obviously understood the pros and cons, so he threw the windbreaker on the ground and ran out of the temple fair
(There's still an hour left, so you can't do it,) the eight heads thought to themselves at the same time
-- If you don't hurry up, the thing will hatch successfully!
