342 Wipe away the darkness before your eyes

Just when His Excellency of the "Revolution of Hell" unwillingly gave up the position of "trampling the world under his feet......

A helicopter suddenly appeared in the night, ignoring the fireworks that bloomed around it, and approached the gate in the sky, as if to find out.

"Hey...... The incompetent government, this time the response is quite fast......"

No longer bothering with these "mortals", Moon Shadow Chigusa, who was forced to the corner by the crowd, raised her hand to look at the time, picked up the binoculars on her chest, and looked at it carefully.

"It's a pity that no one can stop the world from moving forward. And the revolution will also be accompanied by blood! ”

At half past eight, the fireworks in the sky have gone through the climax of blooming, and gradually entered the stage of tastelessness.

Only the bright red wooden door still stands abruptly in the night sky.

At the same time, on the roof of the Kuramae apartment, the pitch-black iron door suddenly started from the top and slowly spread down a crack with the light of lava fire.

As if echoing each other from afar, on both sides of the dark red wooden door in mid-air, two huge skeletons emerged like reliefs, stretching out their bare arms and slamming their palms in the middle of the door.

"Wow, it's really a naked-eye 3D holographic show, is this an aftershow after the fireworks show?"

"The helicopter was supposed to be used to carry projection devices or disperse gas that acts as a 'projection screen'."

"Look at this pixel detail, it's definitely more than 500 yen special effects, it must be a bloody investment!"

"In the future, if Love Dead uses this technology to hold a concert, won't I have a chance to see the bottom of the skirt, who can withstand this?"

The crowd that was about to end on the Skytree saw this scene and immediately became excited again and talked about it.

"Holographic projection? Ignorant mortals...... It is up to you to contribute to the fear in your hearts. ”

Hearing the frolic beside him, Moonshadow Chigusa, who was squeezed into the first row by the overcrowded crowd behind her, couldn't move, and her face, which was slightly deformed when she was squeezed on the glass, showed a sickly smile.

In the night sky, with the two huge skeletons that suddenly appeared on both sides of the door, their arms pulled hard......

The huge dark red door started in the middle and slowly opened a gap.

On the surface of the wooden door, drops of blood began to drip downward.

The blood dripped into the air, and immediately dispersed into a thick mist-like black aura that even those without spiritual power could vaguely see, and began to surge towards the surrounding area of Taito.

Under the giant gate, the originally brightly lit building was shrouded in black gas, and all lights were immediately extinguished, turning into pitch black.

“boom!”

With the soft murmur of Moon Shadow Chigusa, the helicopter, which had already approached the dark red giant gate infinitely, was contaminated with the black gas in mid-air, and suddenly fell straight down as if it had lost power.

"Boom!"

The falling helicopter spun and crashed into the roof of a building, erupting in huge flames.

"This, this doesn't look like a stunt show......"

"Ah!!h

Inside the Skytree, the people who witnessed this scene let out a frightened scream after a long pause.

……

"It's ...... Grievances? I'm afraid you don't need inspiration to observe this equivalent......"

Directly below the gate of hell, around the apartment in front of the house, because of the black aura falling from the head, all the energy and light have failed, and the originally hot "demolition site" has now turned into a dead silence, darkness, and cold place.

Looking up at the black gas gushing down like a waterfall from the crack in the door above her head, Mochizuki Ayano trembled and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Anyone who can hear it...... Anyone...... Apply to Sakurada Gate to enter the wartime state!! ”

"Sakurada Gate" is a gate in the moat of the Imperial Palace, and it is also the location of the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department, so the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department is also commonly known as "Sakurada Gate".

"Immediately let the people of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Fire Department ...... Rustling...... Continue to expand the scope of mass evacuation, and prepare for the evacuation of Taito District and adjacent areas...... Hey, hey? ”

In Mochizuki Ayano's hand, the anti-grievance interference communication equipment dedicated to the ninth lesson also failed because of the too thick resentment in front of him.

"Where are the Soul Destroyers?"

She turned her head to look at Takeshi Iwata beside her.

"I don't know...... Due to the fireworks festival just ended and the emergency evacuation, the traffic nodes are now in chaos, and the communication here is also interrupted......"

Takeshi Iwata clutched his head in pain and replied with difficulty.

Several detectives behind him also looked uncomfortable.

Suddenly rushed down by this rich resentment, the people in the ninth lesson who did not have spiritual power to protect their bodies only felt that the temperature around them had plummeted, and there seemed to be countless fragmented and maddening voices whispering in their ears......

“…… Grab everyone on the scene and get out of this area immediately!! ”

Faced with the unexpected situation in front of him, Mochizuki Ayano decisively gave orders to Takeshi Iwata and the agents in the rear.

People who do not have spiritual power to protect their bodies continue to stay in the center of this increasingly resentful area, and there is a possibility of going crazy, committing suicide, or even turning into a resentful spirit immediately after death.

"Section Chief, we can't leave you here alone......"

Takeshi Iwata reached for the pistol on his waist and seemed to prepare to fight to the death against an enemy who did not know where he was.

The agents behind him also took out their weapons without saying a word, and had no intention of leaving.

"Deputy Section Chief Iwata, Gentlemen, this is an official order from the head of the Ninth Section......"

Mochizuki Ayano pulled out two spears from her waist and spun them quickly at her fingertips, smiling at the men in front of her.

"And I'm not asking you to be deserters...... Faced with the predicament that is beyond your ability, instead of sacrificing your life to hold on to this place in vain, it is better to leave the battlefield to the right people, and you ......"

"When evacuating, it is better to take away all the people you can meet along the way, or to organize the evacuation and blockade of the perimeter immediately after you go out...... In short, fight for your life to live, and do everything you can within your ability! ”

Looking around at the black aura that was spreading around the Kuramae apartment, Mochizuki Ayano's expression became solemn.

“…… Before the Spirit Destroyer arrives and the Yin Yang Liao activates the formation, every minute and second you win from this resentful hand and every life you save is extremely important! ”

"Section Leader......"

Listening to Mochizuki Ayano's words, Takeshi Iwata's eyes flashed with a look of struggle, and then he put his hands to his side and straightened up.

"Lesson 9 all staff, line up!"

Led by him, several men stood solemnly.

“…… Salute! ”

"I wish you good luck! Lesson 9 All the staff will fight with you on different fronts to the end! ”

This group of strong, fierce elites who were not afraid of death raised their hands respectfully to the petite figure in front of them and saluted, and quickly turned to leave.

"There is no need to be reckless, everyone is entitled to contribute equally important efforts under the unequal 'talent', but this is something that someone has taught me recently......"

After everyone left in the ninth lesson organization, in front of the gate of the desolate and dilapidated Kuramae apartment, only Mochizuki Ayano was left with her petite and lonely figure.

"Next, let me see how terrible the legendary Gates of Hell are......"

She rushed up the stairs to the roof of Kuramae's apartment, trying to shoot at the gates of hell in the air.

It's a pity that the height of the gates of hell is already beyond the effective range of the pistol.

In mid-air, the two huge skeletal arms that appeared on the door were still struggling to pull the entire door open to the sides.

It seemed that a giant beast was striking the inside of the gate so fiercely and silently that the drops of blood on its surface were splashed by shaking.

As the crack in the door gradually opened, the cries, murmurs, and screams that lingered in the resentment became more and more dense......

Suddenly, a huge skeletal arm slammed out of the slightly widened crack in the door.

"The gap between hell and the world will cease to exist, the departed will return to the world, and there will be no boundaries between life and death......"

In the video, the words of the self-proclaimed "Hell Revolution" echoed in Mochizuki Ayano's ears again, making her shudder.

The Bon festival is the day when the deceased return to the world.

……

The apse of Akagi Shrine.

"Boom......"

Yumayu, a bird who had changed into a shrine maiden costume, hurriedly opened the heavy sliding door.

Behind the wooden door is a room where the "Akagi Three Artifacts" are enshrined.

Due to the urgency of time, she must immediately call out the Akagi Three Artifacts and go to Taito Ward with Araki-sensei.

But her hurried steps stopped outside the door tremblingly.

Because, a thin and old figure was kneeling reverently and silently in front of the shrine.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of him, the little bird Yu Zhen covered his mouth stiffly.

"Grandpa......"

For as long as she could remember, the emaciated figure had often stayed in this room, kneeling in front of the shrine without saying a word.

"Grandpa......"

The young and naughty self often picks up the door as now, peeking curiously at what his grandfather is doing in the "God-sama's room".

Looking at this familiar but non-human scene, tears slipped down from the eye sockets of the birdie Yu Zhengong like pearls with broken threads.

"Makyumi-chan ......"

The old figure turned his head and beckoned to her flatly.

Little Bird Yu Zhengong tried to calm down, walked slowly into the room, and knelt in front of the old man obediently, but couldn't say a word.

The old palm rubbed affectionately against her head.

It made her feel like she was back in the precious memories of ten years ago, when she was reluctantly called in by her grandfather and prayed to the gods together.

"You've grown up......"

It's just that the old man in front of him is now struggling to reach his head.

Tears rained down her low-hanging face, soaking the tatami mat in front of her.

“…… Why...... ...... want to cry?"

The old man's hoarse voice rang in her ears without hurry.

"Because, I ...... I haven't been able to fulfill my grandfather's instructions, and the mission of reviving the shrine ......"

Thinking of his grandfather's request to hold his little hand weakly before he died, the little bird You Zhengong swallowed even more.

The daily exercises, the task of removing spirits, and the various sacrifices at the shrine, she has worked hard, but ......

It is still far away from grandpa's expectations.

"Gods, tell me all...... You've ...... Well done enough......"

The old man's words made the little bird You Zhengong slightly stunned.

“…… Look, aren't the three artifacts of Akagi all back? With that alone, you've fulfilled a wish that the Little Bird Wanderers have been unable to fulfill for 200 years. ”

"But...... Land of the Gods......"

"It's okay, it's enough...... Even Jiro's guy ...... He's working hard in his way......"

A kind smile appeared on the old man's face, as if injecting a force into her heart.

"I'm here because of ......"

However, his next words made the little bird Yu Zhengong's face pale.

"The gates of hell have been opened, and the line between life and death is blurred...... The Little Bird Wanderers have been soul scavengers for generations and have due obligations. ”

It turns out that is the gates of hell?

Thinking of the dark red giant door in the night sky of Taito District, Xiaoniayou Zhengong folded his hands in front of him and bowed slightly: "Zhengong is here precisely to ask the gods for the three artifacts of Akagi and fulfill the mission of the Xiaoniayou clan." ”

"Go, just pray with your heart, and the gods will give you a response......"

The old man turned around, bowed respectfully to the shrine twice, clapped his hands gently, and then bowed to the ground again.

"By the way, you come here with your ears......"

The little bird You Zhengong bowed her head slightly, and the old man whispered a few words in her ear.

"I see, I remember."

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Tori Yuzhen showed surprise on his face, and then nodded solemnly slightly.

"Tonight, the first duty you have to fulfill as a soul destroyer......"

But the old man's next sentence made her eyes dilated and her face became extremely pale.

"That's me."

At this moment, she noticed that in the dim room, a trace of resentment was constantly pulling out of the old man's body and heading towards the shrine.

"What...... No, grandpa...... I ......"

“…… When the gates of hell are fully opened, I am afraid that the shrine will not be able to prevent me from becoming a resentful spirit completely. ”

The old man's sharpened face showed a relieved smile.

"I have long been a person who does not belong to the world, and I have no regrets when I can see you flying high today...... Let's do it, as a priest, I don't want to turn into a resentful spirit in front of the gods......"

"Yes."

After being stunned for a long time, the little bird Yu Zhengong held back the tears in his eyes, and trembled from his cuffs and took out a rune paper.

"In the name of Akagi Himemei......"

The huge spiritual power blessed by the gods slowly condensed at her fingertips.

The old man sat solemnly and solemnly like a believer waiting for baptism, watching her movements with satisfaction.

“…… Wipe off ...... The darkness in front of you. ”

The huge spiritual power gently floated down on the old man's body along with the rune paper.

“…… Nice spells. ”

Wrapped in the spiritual power, the old man closed his eyes, smiled, and slowly folded his hands in front of him.

"In the past, because of the guilt in my heart, I imposed the family's long-cherished wish on you, and I was too harsh and harsh on you......"

"But I forgot that you, like every ordinary girl, deserve to live your own life."

"No, Grandpa, I've never ......"

As if the power of his whole body was drained by this charm, the little bird You Zhengong couldn't help but sit on the ground and cry bitterly.

"From now on, you just need to fly freely as you do now, and pursue the ...... you want."

The smiling old man turned into white light little by little, leaving only the words echoing in the room.

“…… Remember, only the smile on the shrine maiden's face can make the gods feel happy. ”

"Cheng ...... Becoming a Buddha? ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, the little bird You Zhengong's face showed a complex look of pain, relief, and reluctance.

She never imagined that when the "Buddhahood" that she pursued all her life was presented through her own hands, her inner feelings would be so mixed.

"Oops, Araki-sensei is still waiting......"

After being stunned for a long time, she came back to her senses, didn't care about wiping away the tears on her face, hurriedly high-fived and bowed to the shrine, grabbed the things in front of the shrine randomly, and hurriedly ran out of the house.

There is no mistake
