Public opinion collapsed, and the tengu sank.

The Tengu incident created by the decapitation cycle ended sadly and ended miserably.

The decapitation cycle became the first player out of this mysterious game.

Comparatively.

Ninety-nine-eighty-one ghost king's resurgence of strange news.

Because the Oni Throne and the Spider Oni King appeared, showing the shock of "executing" the tengu in public.

As a result, it will spread more vigorously in the circle of psionic people.

Ninety-nine eighty-one is equivalent to stepping on the corpse of the defeated in the cycle of decapitation, taking a step forward and pushing his own mysterious construction.

Mystery games, especially large mystery games.

There will always be some sacrifice.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

……

The anchoring battle that started with the recovery of the ghost king is expected to have a long operating line.

At present, 9981 obviously occupies an extremely crucial position.

The failure of the decapitation cycle can only be regarded as a sacrifice to this large-scale mystery.

He was the first to fall in this anchor battle and fade away, but not the last.

……

Tokyo, the streets of Ikebukuro.

Shanruzod has taken back Alibaba.

The prosperous business district was crowded with people after a while, and in addition to passers-by, there were also people who knew about the things circulating on the Internet and came to see them.

The streets of Ikebukuro are as prosperous as ever.

There are no exploding cars, no ruined streets, no dead people, no tengu, and no so-called self-defense forces on the Internet.

Sure enough, all the rumors were lies.

……

All the psionics had also left at this time, and hurriedly returned to report to each other, and although they saw that the Tengu crisis was over, the fear in their hearts did not diminish.

Because, the appearance of the ninety-nine-eighty-one ghost king!

They saw that the true terrifying strength of the revival of the ghost king this time hurried back to report, so that they could pay attention to it and be fully prepared.

This night, the local forces of the major psionic powers in Tokyo are destined to have trouble sleeping and sleeping.

……

"Let's go too."

Green said, Tengu has sunk, and there is no need for the Kurome to stay here.

"There's someone else waiting for us to deal with."

A few people were about to leave, Su Qi looked back at the tengu, then at the current time, and said:

"It's that time on my side, you guys go first, I'll go over as soon as I'm done."

Hans Christian Andersen and the others knew what Su Qi was talking about, so they left first.

……

Su Qi looked at his watch and waited.

When it was nine o'clock, Su Qi walked up to the tengu that only he could see.

Looking up at this, the tall ghost god who had sunk into the Moho layer.

"You can see it...... You can see ......."

An eerie whisper rang in my ears.

Chilling fear shakes the heart.

"You can see it! You can see it! ……”

The feeding logic of the horror ghost is triggered.

Meanwhile.

There was a "buzz" and a jolt.

Su Qi's phone screen lit up.

In the midst of the crowds of people on the streets of Ikebukuro, a scarlet figure holding a kitchen knife suddenly appeared.

"Hello, I'm Miss Mary......"

……

On an SUV parked in the back alley of Ikebukuro.

Kurome sat inside.

There was also a masked decapitation loop sitting in the back seat, and the car was quiet and no one spoke.

Until the car door opened, Su Qi got into the car.

The car starts.

"Done?"

Shan Ruzod asked.

"It's done."

Su Qi nodded.

At this time, in the middle of the intersection of Ikebukuro Street, there is a dense flow of people, and no one can see the deep sea layer.

The tengu is gone.

Instead, a large number of corpses of ghosts and gods were scattered in the deep sea like whales, gradually being eaten by some ghosts and gods.

Miss Mary, kill the tengu.

……

The world is materialistic.

Materialism also takes precedence over spiritualism in the occult.

The mystical world and the material world influence each other.

Changes in the material world often greatly affect the mystical world, just like public opinion, anchoring, ghosts and gods, all of which are produced in human society.

And the influence of the mysterious world on the material world is very small, although it is small, but it is not nothing.

After the disappearance of the tengu ghosts.

To a certain extent, it will still affect the direction of the material world, for example, people will unconsciously mention it less and less, it will disappear quickly, and it will accelerate the process of forgetting.

Can people remember it again after death and resurrect it? This only exists in theory, in practice it is simply impossible, which is much more difficult than ascending, not of a difficult order.

The death of the ghost god Tengu is basically equivalent to putting an end to this matter.

……

Now, the final wrap-up.

Only the decapitation cycle remains.

Su Qi sat in the car, watching the masked decapitation cycle on his face, and the two were silent with each other.

Then, Su Qicai said:

"President, take off your mask and speak."

"To be honest, Su Qi, I didn't expect you to appear here, it turns out that you are also from this world."

The decapitation cycle takes off the mask.

The face of Chairman Tsuda was revealed.

The true face of the beheading cycle is the student president of Suqi School, Toru Tsuda.

"How did you know it was mine?"

"I saw Fukuda Momome, and he told me about the transfer students who had changed their school uniforms in the video.

I remember the president told me that there was an older sister among the three children in the family, and I went to check it, and she was also a graduate of our school, and she was the same student as Sakurai Tamako's seniors. ”

"And you're sure it's me?"

"Until you just took off your mask, it was just speculation."

"It seems that I showed my own flaws, and for the first time I confirmed the details of the ghost story, and I didn't ......change it later."

"It's the same."

Su Qi interrupted him

"We'll meet here."

"You're right."

Chairman Tsuda did not refute it.

"For the sake of Tsuda Kaede, I will grow your sister."

Su Qi asked.

……

Chairman Tsuda pondered for a moment, and instead of answering the question directly, he stretched out his hand and shook it.

A quaint hand-held mirror appeared in his hand.

Chairman Tsuda, who is reflected in the mirror, has a terrifying and weird deformed monster behind him.

The deformed monster is clinging to Chairman Tsuda's back, his mouth close to the chairman's ear, and he never stops whispering about indescribable temptation and depravity, like a devil from hell.

"This is Mephisto, a devil who can grant my wishes, and if I pay a sufficient price, it can grant any wish, including saving Kaede.

But I failed, I underestimated its greed, and those costs were still not enough to wake up Kaede. ”

"At what cost?"

"Panic, panic of the majority."

Sure enough, Kuromon's speculation was basically correct.

A wishing machine-type divine object, a divine object that can fulfill a wish within certain rules at a cost.

In this way, the motives and behaviors of the decapitation cycle are basically explained.

Green interjected on the side and said:

"It's really thanks to you that you came up with it, by becoming a broadcaster, you can accumulate heat a little bit, and finally carry out today's grand horror reality show......"

The dangerous eyes of Shanruzod stopped Green's continued play, making him quickly admit it.

"Hey don't do that, I'm amazed, and I think you're all curious about that, huh...... He is obviously an ordinary person, he can't even see ghosts, how did his divine object come from? ”

Shan Ruzod glared at Green several times before he said:

"We checked that your background is very clean, it has nothing to do with our world, and you don't have the qualities to be a mystery, you don't have enough deep sea.

You shouldn't have access to the mysterious world, so what's going on? Where did your divinity come from? ”

Chairman Tsuda apparently did not understand the mysterious world, and could not even see ghosts, and as Yamaruzode said, he behaved as an ordinary person who had acquired a divine object by chance.

However, by operating a horror video, we were able to create a tengu floating......

"Did you think of these for yourself? You don't know the rules of the mysterious world, how do you know that the mass anchor can create and float ghosts? ”

Shan Ruzod asked.

Chairman Tsuda was silent, he had only talked to Su Qi from just now to now.

He did not answer any of the words of Green and Shan Ruzod at present, but asked in his own words:

"What are you going to do with me?"

As soon as this question was asked, there was a brief silence in the car, and Su Qi, Green, and Shanlu Zodd were unable to answer this question.

……

After a while, Andersen spoke:

"Son, be glad that your wrongdoing has not had serious consequences, and we will not treat you like a true mystical criminal."

"I don't know your world, but, can you save Kaede, I'm willing to pay any price."

"No, no, child, neither can the mirror in your hand, neither can the devil, the so-called wish is but a trap that tempts you to fill your desires."

"You're going to take it? It seems impossible, this devil says that once the pact is made, no one can be separated, and it will eventually take my soul. ”

"No, we will save your child, we will take this devil out of your body, and then, you will return to the life of ordinary people."

……

Su Qi heard Hans Christian Andersen's words and asked:

"Can we safely take this divine artifact out?"

"It will take his cooperation."

Hans Christian Andersen said, and the car stopped, as if it had reached its destination.

"We're here, get out of the car."

……

The sea breeze at night has a salty and wet smell.

They arrived at the port.

Andersen walked to the dock and there was a small boat.

The flatbed boat is not big, it may be a salvage boat used to salvage garbage in the inland river in the past, and it looks like it should have been abandoned for a long time.

Hans Christian Andersen took out the chalk, prepared to draw the ceremonial array on the boat, and turned back to explain to Su Qi:

"I need to make some preparations, you go and enlighten him, and want to take out the divine object in his body that will kill him, we need his cooperation."

Su Qi nodded, turned around and returned to the side of the president.

"President, we need your cooperation, you know that thing is going to kill you, and we are saving you."

The president was silent, silent, and then asked:

"Do you remember the question I asked you about 'pursuit'?"

Su Qi nodded, they talked about it in the hospital, and the president said that he was very envious of his sister, who had something he clearly loved in his life and pursued it with perseverance.

"When I first knew that my sister was saved and signed a contract with the devil, I thought I had found my pursuit, but then I realized that there was no such thing as a pact."

Su Qi quietly listened to the president's story.

"I thought I could give everything I had for this 'pursuit' without hesitation, whether it was to create panic or give my life, I was not afraid.

But just now, the moment I stood in front of Tengu to meet death, I was scared, I was shaken, and I realized that I was not like Kaede, who had the pursuit of love beyond life.

When you stood up to help me block it, I even felt a little glad that I survived.

I was deeply ashamed of this, and I thought I could be willing to give everything for what I wanted, but it was so cheap. ”

When Su Qi heard this, he couldn't answer for a while.

Pursuit, the word is mentioned again.

How many people have the "pursuit" for which they are willing to give everything, even their lives.

This word is gradually becoming more subtle in the modern social form.

Su Qi wanted to say that he didn't pursue it, or that most people didn't actually have this kind of belief.

But when the words came to his lips, he shook his head, and somehow, he said:

"I always thought that no matter how much I could pay for my pursuit, even if it was to pay for my life, I should pay for it myself, not implicate others."

Su Qi didn't know how he said this, and the words came out of his mouth.

Not to mention this comfort, I feel full of ridicule, as if pointing at Chairman Tsuda to criticize: Why do you plan to implicate so many innocent citizens in Tokyo in order to realize your pursuit?

Isn't this too explicit and too direct?

It's like slapping someone in the face.

No, Chairman Tsuda was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't get angry or angry, but shook his head with a wry smile and self-denial.

"You're right, I'll never be Kaede."

"I didn't mean that......"

"What should I do, you can really take out this devil?"

Chairman Tsuda seemed to agree to cooperate.

Su Qi was a little uncertain.

"Don't lie to me now, I won't be able to think about it for a while."

"I'm not going to joke with my life, I have to live, I have to continue to wait for Kaede to wake up."

……

"Okay?"

Hans Christian Andersen drew the ceremonial array on the boat, looked at Su Qi who came over, and asked.

"That's it."

Su Qi nodded.

"I'll cooperate with you."

Chairman Tsuda said.

"What should I do?"

"Lie flat in the boat and close your eyes.

Whatever happens, don't open your eyes, don't respond, and don't sit up. ”

"Will something happen?"

Su Qi asked.

"There may be sounds, there may be movements, there may be unspeakable things happening, I can't say, but no matter what happens, remember one thing, don't open your eyes, don't respond.

As long as you don't do anything, you'll be fine.

If you don't follow this rule, it's hard to say what will happen, and there's a good chance that you won't be able to come back. ”

Hans Christian Andersen repeatedly admonished Chairman Tsuda.

"You just have to lie still, and we'll take care of the rest, and you'll be able to open your eyes when we've dragged you ashore and actually touched the land.

Others, even if they hear us, can't do it, remember? ”

"I might even hear some disorienting auditory hallucinations that mimic your voices, right?"

Chairman Tsuda asked.

Andersen nodded.

"Ready?"

Chairman Tsuda nodded, jumped onto the boat, lay down in the middle of the ritual array drawn on the ship, and closed his eyes.

……

Hans Christian Andersen started the ship's engine, and a timer was set on it, and when the time came, the engine would be turned off.

Let the boat slowly drift out of the port for hundreds of meters under the impetus of the engine.

At the same time, a thick hemp rope, attached to the stern, was tied to the mooring post.

In a moment they are going to use this to pull the boat back.

……

The boat drifted away from the sea until it was 100 meters away, when the engine was turned off, and then stopped.

Su Qi watched from afar.

On the dim and quiet surface of the near-land sea, only the sparkling waves of moonlight shine.

However, as time passed, it seemed that there was a sea fog steaming, and as the dark clouds covered the moon, there was no light source at night, and the vision suddenly dimmed.

Su Qi's eyes were dark.

The ship on the surface of the sea seems to have disappeared.

"Snap ......"

A damp, slimy sound sounded eerily in the darkness.

Su Qi shuddered for no reason, his hands were a little cold, and he seemed to hear a strange whisper.

"Bang...... Snap ......"

The slimy voice sounded again, the rhythm of this whisper, reminded him of the cafeteria under the clouds.

The 'crunch' from the cafeteria...... The crunching ......' sound seems to be a similar rhythm.

There always seems to be an even more eerie whisper in this voice, which is hidden beneath the actual sound, not through the eardrum, but as if directly contaminated into the bone marrow.

Indescribable, unspeakable, but it makes people tremble, as if the brain is trembling, and there is something strange polluting their thinking.

Su Qi swallowed his saliva and took two steps back.

Retreating to Andersen's side, he asked in a low voice:

"What the hell is that?"

Hans Christian Andersen replied:

"Mystic Court."
