Chapter 323: Grotesque: The Coffin of the Seven Stars (Part II)
May 28, 3 p.m
"Can't we split up? And let me down immediately" Chong, who was walking down the street with the collar of the ghost curse, felt ashamed
"Of course it's okay to act separately, but I'm going out this time to act as your bodyguard," Ghost Curse Lan said solemnly, "Because you are the most vocal genius of the younger generation"
"Or just because I'm my mother's firstborn?" Chong Leng said, "Everyone knows that I will not be in the army in the future, and at the same time, I only wear a military uniform and not a white robe, and I am only involved with Kyoto now in order to block gossip with merit in the future, and it is my sister who really wants to take over my mother's work."
"Well, let's be honest, your sister doesn't have any talent as a witch," Ghost Curse Lan also hesitated and didn't know whether to say this, "When you were born, you all had a witch girl who probed the spiritual power and spiritual strength in your body, and the results showed that your natural spiritual power and spiritual power are extremely strong, but your sister has none at all, it stands to reason that even if you are the eldest son, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen, the witch's spiritual power is yin, so it should be a woman."
"Why do you keep sweeping it on me, I have an Adam's apple" You see where I look a little bit like a woman?!
"Ahem, it's rude, but remember, maybe those in the military department or the academy city can easily enlist you, but for those of us who stand on the edge of the mystery...... Let's say something big, even if the princess or the crown prince dies, you can't die" Ghost Curse Lan lowered his voice, "Of course, we can't have the idea of usurping power, whether it is Ise Jingu or the rest of the annexes, it is the strongest shield in Japan, and Tokyo will have three capitals to stand is also a symbol of deterrence, even those madmen in the academy city know what to do and what not to do, if you really want to fight, the three parties will not get any good results, but the consequences will be very serious"
"You know too much as a ghost witch"
"That's because everyone actually understands" Ghost Curse Lan smiled, "Tokyo wants a thousand years of national fortune, Gakuin City wants to always be ahead of the times, and we just need a place to live, everyone says that the mysterious side is a bad person who has escaped from the magic side, and if we lose the national residence, maybe we will end up with the witch, which is why we need to draw a clear line with the monsters"
"Is that to pick up the knife they threw down in order to survive?" Chong was silent for a moment before speaking, "What do you want to express?"
"It's very simple, although it's not good to tell you now, after all, you're still young" Before you knew it, the two of them had already arrived in the alleyway, "The academy city advocates absolute force, Tokyo has a supreme status, and we need talents to maintain the inheritance of the century-old incense"
"To put it bluntly," Ghost Curse Arashi slowly raised the blade after putting himself down, and then swung it hard at the wall in front of him, "We want to grab people from Tokyo!" ”
“!” The other side of the wall was not a tall building, but it was dark, and the ugly and thin youkai who were climbing on the ground raised their heads and glared at the uninvited guests in front of them
"Corpse worms, I didn't expect the evil qi to be so strong" Ghost Curse Lan coldly aimed the blade at them, "Give you three seconds, even if you can't speak, it doesn't matter, use your fingers to tell me where your original host is"
"Yikes!!" They didn't answer, they just pounced on the ghost curse Lan one after another
"Disobedient guys" shook out a few pieces of rune paper from the cuffs, and then the ghost cursed Lan half-crouched down and slowly put the knife into the sheath, "Since that's the case"
"Huh~" A vigorous flame burned on the rune paper, and only the skeleton of the demon god held a knife and stared coldly in the flames
"Just die," she drew her long knife again, and the fire turned into a tide of fire that spread in all directions
"The fact that there are corpse insects here proves that the living corpse has been here, and it may have eaten it" The corpse worm that was burned to ashes slowly fell from the sky, and the demon curse Lan was unceremoniously prepared for the worst, "Judging by its size, it should have rested here three days ago, so it has never left the gate of Tokyo"
"Don't you think there's one person missing?"
"It's okay, just put it in the harbor if it's in the way" Ghost Curse Lan didn't want to care about Ara Liangmu Li, in their eyes he was just an ordinary middle school student, and the curse Gu he retreated from was also a little pediatric, of course, they wouldn't abandon him directly, it would be good for him to do so, after all, it would make him safer
"So Chong didn't say much, their hierarchy concept is already very strict, it's okay if you have a little strength, but a guy like Ara Liangmu Li, who has no spiritual power and spirit medium ability, will accept it, which can be regarded as an extrajudicial favor."
(But to put it bluntly, they only value my so-called "mother") Chong secretly laughed at himself in his heart, if he confessed that he had nothing to do with her in front of people, then presumably they wouldn't look at themselves a few more times
"Something is wrong," the ghost curse Lan suddenly glanced around, "There is no evil spirit, but why do you hear the sound of something approaching, it's not good!" Get out of place right away! ”
(Another one that will dig a hole?!) Chongjian didn't have time to simply draw his knife and stab it into the ground, and a pool of green blood slowly seeped into the ground, but then he was pulled directly into the ground by a pair of hands, and there was not even a single hole in the ground
"Bastard!" Oni Curse Lan struck the stone face several times with his scabbard, but not even a single debris splashed out
"How can you be so careless" Knowing that the ground is now as hard as steel, the demon curse Lan gritted his teeth and cursed his incompetence "No, now the time is almost up, it must be rescued, and the nearest shrine from here is"
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the corpse
"Chong is now confronting a living corpse in an underground pipeline, and its whole body is already rotting, and it somehow pulls itself into the pipe and stands still, but who knows when it will suddenly pounce on itself
(But why didn't the imprint on his hand shine) took the time to look at the back of his hand, and the two dots were still a dim scene, could it be that it wasn't this one?
"Click, click" may have been because it was so old, and the living corpse made a tooth-aching sound all over its body after trying to move, but it still struggled to raise its arms and stretched out its fingers
-- Then he aimed his thumb down at himself, and after putting it down, he raised the middle finger of his other hand with great difficulty and aimed it upward
Chong glanced at it silently, and then aimed his middle finger at it as well, but the difference was that purple flames came out of the tips of his fingers
"Any idea what this is?" Two crossroads erupted in Chong's head, "This is called a priesthood, a function taken from a god called the royal husband, and this fire can make you directly free"
"Click!" The other party suddenly shook his head sharply, making the onlookers worry about whether it would shake its head directly
"And last words?" Chongjiang extinguished the fire temporarily, but still did not relax at all, "Your Excellency, you have enough nonsense during your lifetime"
"Go to the sea"! How dare you let me go to the sea in front of me? It's lawless! What do you think I am!
"Under the sea" desperately pointed his finger at the ground, and only then did he see clearly that the other party had only one finger on both hands
Hesitantly, he withdrew his knife and took two steps back, then stomped his shadow twice as hard as he summoned the land god
"What's the matter?" Ji Si Xiu obviously just woke up, and even her tone became much softer, "I just fell asleep, not long after I cut people, you came by yourself."
"Can you go underneath here," Chong asked
"Isn't this already an underground pipeline, right? You wait" I didn't expect Ji Si Xiuta to speak so well when she was confused
"I'm going to kill you!! There's the ocean down there!! After a while, he was pinched by Ji Si Xiute's neck and dangled, "I hate water!" Unless it's a shower and there's foam!! ”
"--" After tearing away Ji Si Xiute's hands like iron tongs, Chong inhaled heavily, "I'm sorry, but it says there's something underneath."
"For the sake of your apology, I forgive you for your great disrespect, although it is very vague, but I do see things" Kiss tried to dry the sea water from her hair, although she didn't know how she did it, "It seems to be a figure, do you want to go down and take a look?" ”
"How to do it" Chong finally gasped for breath, "You can bring someone?" ”
"Bringing someone? No," Ji Si Xiuta raised her fist, and here I want to say that the other party can maintain the form of her heyday after sucking her own blood every day, so it's amazing to say that her blood can be used in medicine, break the barrier, and make Lori a big sister
"You want" Before the words were finished, Chong saw Ji Si Xiu Tee punch the pipe through
"I'm waiting for you here, because I hate water," Lady left for a moment and threw the living corpse down with her, "Let him accompany you"
"Gollum (your uncle!) Maybe it was because she couldn't hear clearly, so Chong just sweared
"But helplessly, Ji Si Xiute will not stay by the cave to pull herself up, so Chong can only try to swim into the water, and as for the follow-up treatment, it is not his own responsibility
"The two dots on the hand glow brilliantly in the water, this time it's the deity?"
After seeing the corpse in rich and splendid splendor, Chong wanted to continue to explore, but was kicked away by the living corpse
"Ahh
"There's no place down there anymore" Chong looked up at the sea, the scenery on the ground was already a little blurry, and he could still hold on, but the broken body would definitely not be able to continue
"Ah" continued to swim downstream, and the already tattered clothes on his body were shattered into pieces, one of which happened to float in front of his eyes
Chong couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the clothes that had not been embroidered on his body after more than a hundred years, and it was another hymn of loyalty, and he also understood why no one else could find the emperor's body, because it was at the bottom of the sea
“?” I suddenly noticed that the two stars on the back of my hand had disappeared for some time, and it was clear that two days had not passed
“?” Just when Chong couldn't hold back and wanted to swim upstream, he suddenly noticed a bright light coming from the sea, a searchlight or a rescue boat? No, this is the bottom of the sea below the city, how can there be such things?
“!” The living corpse, which had only bones left, suddenly snatched something from the emperor's body and threw it at himself, and it seemed to have a spirit and went straight into his sleeve
The next moment, a huge pillar of light broke through the sea and shot straight into the corpse, and then he didn't know anything
postscript
"Ahem!" When Chong woke up from his coma, it was already dusk, and Oni Curse Lan was kneeling beside him, his head bowed and silent
"You almost killed countless people," Chong's first sentence said, "What would happen if the corpse was in the middle of the city?"
"The prohibition attached to the Seven Star Coffin will only work on the person who enters the tomb, as long as you don't come into contact with it, it will be fine," Ghost Curse Lan lowered his head and said indifferently, "It is a great crime for the corpse to be defiled or to defile others, and this heavenly punishment will not have any effect on the living."
"It's such a boring excuse" Chong struggled to get up from the tatami mat "It's over, and the follow-up won't have anything to do with me"
"No, there will be" Oni Curse Lan took a deep breath "Forgive me for being nosy, I have already told your mother about this matter, she thinks you can take over the rest of the matter, and the Shrine has already agreed"
"In that case, then I'll do it" Chong just opened the sliding door and walked straight away
(Why would she agree to such a trick?) Could it be that she also wants to make herself one step to the sky? But I don't need her to help me like this at all! Doing so won't do me any good at all!
(And this thing) I had already seen a little rough just now, and now when no one pulled back the cuffs to look at it, I realized that I was no longer good
The black tattoo-like pattern is faintly derived from the lower arm to the left chest, and the shape is like an eight-headed demon snake trying to devour people, but in the end it is still thankless
-- Speaking of which, Araragi seems to have been messing around in the harbor, so why should I mention this when I'm so serious?
