When Xiang Sheng and the others went to kill in the direction of the elevator, they didn't know that the red lion had reached the edge of the nightmare underground at the same time, and they didn't know what happened to the three of them. At this time, Onizuka was also busy slowly absorbing the spiritual power obtained from the spirit extractor, that is, the twin souls of the three white horses. In order to gain trust and make the three of them voluntarily open the shrine to reduce the time required for operation, Onizuka set up an enchantment adjacent to the entrance to the real hell, that is, the fake underworld in the shrine, and finally made the three of Hakuba tie their hands and obediently submit.
Now, Xiang Sheng and Lotte are already in the elevator. There are only two operation buttons for the elevator: close the door, emergency stop, they did not choose emergency stop, and pressed the door to close and waited quietly.
The sound of bar music outside the door faded away, and Lotte asked, "What's the plan?" ”
Xiang Sheng said: "If the people of Hakuba are below, we can only look at the situation, and if they have already caught Tanaka, then we can only sigh that we are incompetent." But I don't think they made it, and it's a bit of a surprise to me. ”
Lotte asked: "If there is a backstage in the field, will the three Hakuba dare to do it?" ”
Xiang Sheng said: "In recent years, as long as it is the task of the guild, no Spirit Eater organization has dared to come forward to obstruct it, since we are sure that Tanaka is the murderer of the Spirit Eater Clan, even the owner of the Divine Tomb may not be able to cover it." ”
Lotte said: "I always feel that things are a bit strange, the Japanese police dare not enter the tomb of the god of the gods, but if the owner of the tomb of the gods knows about Tanaka and still let him in, is it not self-sabotaging the friendly order?" It's impossible for a guild not to save face easily! ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly flashed and said, "Not good! ”
Xiang Sheng is indeed stronger than Lotte's reasoning ability, and he quickly found the point of the problem. According to Lotte, the owner of the tomb is undoubtedly taking the initiative to provoke the guild. What's in it for him? The question is, does anyone know that the three of them came here to find Tanaka? If the owner of the tomb can ensure that no one knows the truth, the guild will not know.
How to make sure? The key is Officer Fukada, if Fukada is the person who owns the tomb, then no one knows. So why do you want to do this? If they want to protect the murderer named Tanaka, they can not ask the guild for a task, of course, Tanaka will still attract the attention of the guild in the long run, but at least not so quickly. So Fukada must have other purposes for asking the guild for help, but what is this purpose?
Tanaka kills people in order to collect grievances and spiritual power, so why does the tomb owner do this? The possible explanation is that it is to suck up a higher soul, the guild students. If that's the case, it's appalling.
Legend has it that there is an organization that specializes in hunting lost spirit children, but I have never heard of hunting soul students.
Of course, it is not impossible, but this assumption is also quite reasonable.
So how to face the guild's subsequent investigation? Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng shuddered, even if Fukada explained to the guild that the three of Hakuba were here to chase the murderer, but since this is the entrance to hell, if the three of Hakuba are killed at the entrance (referring to being sucked out of spiritual power). And then push it to the relevant parties of hell to come forward to receive it, which is like in a police movie, where the police officer takes action and "mistakenly kills" the deceased who is "committing a crime", even if the guild asks for judicial review from hell, under the tradition of hell "death does not admit mistakes", it must be like a stone sinking into the sea to get news from the intricate relationship of the underworld.
Xiang Sheng's reasoning is already very complete and quite close to the truth, but he has not yet thought of the "spirit absorber" and the scene of the holographic avatar clone that tricked the three people from the white horse to open the shrine, and the pre-setting of Tanaka being sacrificed as a scapegoat in the future.
But in any case, Xiang Sheng has already sensed the most dangerous part.
Lotte's years of learning are not in vain, and he is also using the method of elimination to reason: Tanaka is violating hunting laws on a large scale here, and if he is not stupid enough to think that no one will know the way, or he thinks that someone can protect him. Who would that be? If he ran here on his own, it proved that he felt that there were people here, and it was likely that the owner of the tomb could protect him. However, the spirit eaters with common sense all know that if the guild insists on enforcing the law, even the tomb owner will eventually hand him over, so unless he is stupid, he will believe that he can really be protected. Assuming Tanaka wasn't stupid, he must have a bigger and darker purpose.
Tanaka wouldn't be stupid, so I don't need to explain it.
So what is his purpose? If the current progress is within his plan, it means that he wants to lead the three of the white horses here.
Oops! I came here again as a yellow finch, and at any moment I became the prey of an eagle pretending to be a cicada. Why didn't you notice it until now! That's right! Because things were going so fast tonight, the three of them were in a hurry, and we followed. Why are they in such a hurry? may be tempted by Fukada, hell, if Fukada and Tanaka are the same party, then it is called Zhongji. It may also be that the three of them saw that we were pressing, so they were in such a hurry! Unexpectedly, we also became Fukada's comrades.
Lotte and Xiang Sheng glanced at each other, each with a bitter smile, and they thought at the same time that if the three of Baima were really brought here with a plan, then the four people of the public school were the accident of the plan, and as an accident, how would they be handled?
Lotte said to Xiang Sheng, "It doesn't seem to be as simple as I imagined!" ”
Xiang Sheng nodded and wrote: "Inform the Red Lion and tell them not to come in." ”
Lotte was about to activate the telepathic application, but the elevator had already stopped, and then the door opened, and the strong music that I had just heard because I was thinking rushed to my face. At this moment, they smelled danger.
The dance floor in the basement was as huge as ever, and all the people who were supposed to be partying under the music stopped at any moment and stared at them fiercely, even in the dark of the taxico, they felt that they could see clearly from a few meters away.
It's normal! The people who had just finished beating them on it were naturally not welcome here. Lotte and Xiang Sheng thought so.
At the same moment, Aoki made a decision: the icing on the cake.
Aoki is a man of few words, but he thinks a lot and is much more silent than Onizuka.
The cooperation between the two has been started since before World War II, and in order to absorb higher-level spiritual power, Onizuka has used this place as a base since before World War II. If you want to trace the origins of Onizuka, it is before the Meiji Restoration, when he participated in bloody battles as a prince who supported the most shogunate. At that time, Onizuka was a "lost spirit child", he had special spiritual powers, but no academy or family found him, if the public school found him at that time, he could also become a part of the public school, and then if he had outstanding grades, he would also be absorbed into some colleges.
But that wasn't his fate, fortunate or unlucky?
