316 The Price of the Observer
Hearing the voice behind him, Higashino Kohei trembled and let go of the man in his hand, with a look of disbelief on his face, and slowly turned around.
This voice, which had long been buried in the softest part of his heart, he would never hear it wrong.
In the darkness behind him, a petite, OL woman stood looking at him with tears in her eyes.
It was the one who died in that explosion, Reiko Shirasui.
"Reiko !!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Higashino Yuhei stumbled towards Reiko Shirasui not far away.
In every sleepless night since Reiko left, he practiced ......
When I "go down" and see Reiko, what kind of expressions and words do I have to use to repent and ask for her forgiveness?
But at this moment, all language turned pale.
There was only one thing he wanted to do.
Hold her tight.
He was afraid that all this was just a dream.
The next second he opened his eyes, the woman in front of him would disappear from his life again.
But even if it's just a dream, please let me just sleep forever and don't wake up.
In the darkness, Reiko Shirasui also stretched out her hand to hug him, but it shook like a reflection on the water, and passed through Kohei Higashino.
"Kohei...... Are you okay?! ”
With Reiko Shirasui exclaiming, Higashino Kohei slammed into the wall so hard that even the entire basement was shaken off with dust.
"Wow, be careful, I've managed to keep her wandering at the scene of the accident in her purest spirit state...... A trace of resentment has not been contaminated. ”
Chado Nord scratched his head in some annoyance, as if he had done something inconspicuous.
"However, in the current state, before she has a 'body', I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to get in close contact."
"Spirits? Possess...... Body?! ”
Ignoring the blood flowing from his forehead, Higashino Kohei looked at Chateau Nord with an excited expression.
"Yes, I was still struggling with how to keep Miss Reiko's spirit pure. But for now, it looks like you've got pretty good containers. ”
The other party's fingers pointed directly at the pink diamond ring hanging from his chest.
"Mr. Xiado, please tell me if there is any way to resurrect Reiko......"
Without warning, Higashino fell to his knees solemnly, his forehead slamming against the floor, and a flame of hope ignited in his eyes.
"No matter what the cost, I am willing to ......"
After going through so many things, he naturally knows that this world is not as simple as he knows.
Since there are so many unknown possibilities, Reiko's soul is still there, and there may be a way to resurrect her.
"Kohei...... You don't have to ...... for me."
Reiko Shirasui crouched down and hugged Kohei Higashino who was kneeling on the ground sadly and helplessly, but she couldn't make contact with the other party because she was a spirit.
The two are obviously close at hand, but they seem to be far away.
"Is it a price, as a businessman who is interested in it, I like your word!"
Without answering Higashino's question, Chado Nord dragged his chin with one hand and looked at the computer screen.
"Resurrection from the dead in the true sense of the word, still belongs to the realm of the gods......
He seems to have entered the state of "off-topic" caused by being too talkative.
"However, according to my observations over the years, there are many alternative methods, but they all have flaws of one kind or another......"
"Please tell me very often...... I'm willing to do anything for it......"
Hearing the other party's words, Higashino Kohei's head kept hammering on the ground, smashing out blood flowers.
"Heh, do anything? It seems like a good thing to have an immortal Asammet bloodline as an assistant and observer......"
Looking at Kohei Higashino at his feet, Shado Nord smiled playfully.
At the same time, the computer screen on the side automatically switches to a certain interface.
Glancing at the computer, Chado Nord scratched his head in annoyance: "I'm sorry, let's go upstairs to catch up first...... I'm here for an important meeting that is about to begin. ”
"Yes, Shado-sama."
Higashino Yukihei bowed respectfully, and walked upstairs with Reiko with Reiko with joy and caution......
Xia Duo's voice sounded behind him again.
"By the way, you Japanese are just too disciplined. I don't like people to use honorific titles, you can just call me Shado, or you can call me another code name ...... "Observer". ”
……
"Four, you brought that 'artifact' with you, and you came back so embarrassed......"
In the dark room, the president of the Aum Truth Society, Jiro Kenmine, was sitting on the top.
"And, even the number five is dead...... The whereabouts of that item are unknown......"
The words were full of irrepressible anger.
"I'm sorry for living up to the expectations of the grown......"
"Four", covered in scars, was trembling and kneeling below.
"Originally, I already had the victory in my hands, and even the Blood Clan and the Holy Light Arsenal were suppressed by me......"
"Oh? What exactly happened after that......"
Hearing the words of "Four", Yan Feng Jiro asked thoughtfully.
"Four" has been following him for more than ten years, and he can be described as loyal and quick-witted, and this time he paid the price to trade "that" thing for him, and he actually returned home.
"It's all to blame on that boy with stockings! If it weren't for the fact that he took advantage of the interval between me using that artifact to sneak attack, he saw through my figure and made my divine power ineffective......"
Feeling that the injuries on his body were still aching, "No. 4" was full of unwillingness in his eyes.
"By the way, the policewoman with different eyes in the end is even more terrifying, even after I put on that artifact, she seems to be able to see me......"
His scythe power comes and goes like the wind, invincible with his uncatchable form, indestructible sharpness, pain-removing trickery, and whip legs that force trips.
Before leaving, the president gave himself a "grudge object" that could eliminate the wearer's sense of existence and force the enemy into endless fear by asking questions.
Although the side effects are also obvious, the power of one's own sickle can also temporarily eliminate the adverse effects of pain.
It can be said that it is an existence that perfectly matches his divine power.
Originally, he suppressed the whole audience as soon as he appeared and was about to end perfectly, but he kicked the "steel plate" with a whip leg, and was hit hard by the opponent's ruthless iron knee, shattering several front teeth, and now he is still leaking when he speaks.
By the time he woke up, Kazuo Tento had turned into a puddle of meat sauce.
And when he was escaping, he was shot by the policewoman who looked like a foreigner.
Encountering two soul slayers who restrained themselves one after another and almost lost their lives, it felt like just having a 998 and being beaten into a pig's head when they went out.
"The abilities of those official soul slayers should not be underestimated, and it is not unusual to see you......
Hearing the words of "Number Four", the eyes under the mask of Yan Feng Jiro gradually became deeper.
“…… However, the divine power is ineffective and feels familiar? It's a pity that the man was wearing stockings......"
This elder seems to have remembered some bad memories.
“…… You go down to recuperate first, I have a meeting here. ”
……
Late at night, Roppongi.
"Enough, you online religious scams, delay and ......"
A soft and angry loli voice echoed through the room.
“…… I'm going to uninstall this app and send you even more powerful weird sanctions......"
Moonshadow Chigusa's saliva squirted wildly on the laptop screen in front of her.
"Prepare for the wrath of hell......"
The "sincerity" promised to be displayed by these Form 2 groups, which call themselves "Evil Flowers", has been postponed again and again.
So far, there has been no substantial progress, even if there is still a face to communicate with him.
"That's right...... Even took me on a trip in vain...... Although there was an unexpected bonus......"
On the communication interface, the node representing the "observer" also echoed his words.
"Your Excellency Hell Revolution, please control your anger, in the transcendent world, any 'accidental' appearance is understandable......"
The node representing "Honmine Jiro" flickered slightly.
"Every object that can make people step into the extraordinary has a price for countless lives lost...... I've also lost a lot of my right-hand men for the sake of 'that thing,' and there's a lot of mess to deal with, so I won't waste a few people's time. ”
After saying it confidently, the node of "Yan Feng Jiro" was directly extinguished.
Five minutes earlier, at the beginning of the meeting, "Tonamine Jiro" had already said that he had officially withdrawn from the mission because "that thing" had been destroyed in the fight.
After all, Evil Flower is a loose organization with a points-based system, and there is no mandatory subordinate relationship between members, and no one else has a position to condemn him for failing his mission.
"Well, I said, it's useless to be so stiff, I happen to have a collection here that qualifies...... It's not as good as the sincerity that you want to see in the "Hell Revolution", so let's pay in advance below......"
After a long silence, for some reason, the "observer" actually opened his mouth to be a "peacemaker".
"Afterwards, Your Excellency the Dark Web Lord only needs to pay me the corresponding recruitment points......"
The internal points of "Evil Flower" are blockchain coins encrypted by the "Dark Web Lord", which can be used to exchange items, information, knowledge, or request help from other members.
"That's very good. If you are a dealer with a wide range of channels, then you have Your Excellency the "Observer...... Let's talk to the two of you separately about the rest of the matter......"
The "Lord of the Dark Web" said this in his emotionless voice, and then went offline.
"Hey...... Didn't anyone ask me for my opinion......"
Moonshadow Chigusa whispered in a loli voice, but her hand clenched the mouse excitedly, her eyes flashing with excitement.
"Well, in that case, let me introduce that thing first......
"Before I introduce it, let me confirm that Your Excellency must be very clear about the existence of [Resentment], right?"
"The Observer" asked sincerely.
"Hmm."
Moon Shadow Chigusa's forehead burst, and she responded with an unknown meaning.
Resentment? All I know is the stains......
But you have used a rhetorical question, do you want me to answer, "I don't know at all, please be merciful and tell me"?
“…… For ordinary transcendents, resentments that are condensed by resentment and obsession, and which are equally powerful and indestructible, can only be used with minimal or negative effects......"
In line with the logic of "the weird maker must be well aware of the resentment", the talkative "observer" begins to talk to himself.
"However, the Evil Flower is different."
Listening to the other party's words, Moonshadow Chigusa was like a good student in the first row of the classroom, quickly taking notes.
"As a member of the "Evil Flower", after paying a high amount of points, you can decompose, extract and fuse the rule fragments in the resentment through a special alchemy style, so as to obtain a ...... without side effects."
With the words of the "observer", the gate called "transcendental" finally opened to the moon shadow Chigusa, who could only hide behind this computer, shivering.
