473 The Power of Being
Just when Yuji Sakai looked at the girl who suddenly appeared, the girl's eyes also fell on him, but unlike Yuji Sakai's distinct expression, the girl's fiery appearance was an indifferent and cold expression, especially when she looked at Yuji Sakai's eyes, as if she was not looking at a person, but just a prop and an item.
Buzz –
Suddenly, the necklace pendant hanging from the girl's chest floated up with the wind, showing a red lotus-like light and shadow.
"How's it going, Alastol?"
"Hmm...... It's not a vain, it's just a phosphorus. The fiery red pendant made a deep sound.
"In other words, the main body is still hiding, but we seem to be late...... Who is that guy? The girl turned her head, and her gaze gradually looked towards Tang Hao, but what attracted her attention even more was the figure floating in the air, bright.
"At least not in vain." The member she called Alastol said in a deep voice, "It's not a fire mist, it's just an ordinary human from the outside, but it's impossible for an ordinary human to act in the blockade, and ...... Strange ......"
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing. In short, he doesn't look like he can use the power of existence, so let's find the enemy's body first. ”
"Hmm."
The girl answered softly, her eyes drooped, and she just met Tang Hao, who was walking from the front, and subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not your enemy." Tang Hao smiled and raised his hand, he knew that this person who would be called Xia Na in the future but who had no name now was very vigilant, and even a little unkind, and he might be treated as an enemy if he wasn't careful...... After all, even the Fire Mist Warriors are not harmonious, but full of competition.
"Urusse! I'm not nervous! The girl scolded unpleasantly, and then asked, "Since you are not my enemy, then who are you?" Neither disciples nor fire mist, why can they act in the Seal? ”
"I'd like to know that, too." Tang Hao shrugged his shoulders, made an innocent appearance, and pointed in the direction not far from the girl's side, "Actually, I'm just a stand-in messenger who passes by, and I came to Japan to play with my friends, but I encountered such a thing, my two friends were disabled, and even I almost died...... Unfortunately. ”
"Stand-in messenger?" The girl had a puzzled look in her eyes and lowered her head, "Alastol, do you know?" ”
"Haven't heard of it, what is a stand-in messenger?"
"Oh, is it the pendant that speaks? It's incredible. Tang Hao pretended to be surprised and looked at the pendant in front of the girl Yima Pingchuan, "The so-called stand-in messenger is to activate the shadow-like stand-in in his body through the power of the soul to fight, and the one above is my stand-in, and it is normal that you have not heard of it, because even I have never seen a second stand-in messenger...... By the way, what are the disciples and fire mist you just talked about? ”
"Alastol......" The girl lowered her head again, as if to confirm it.
"Well......" Pendant pondered for a moment, "I don't really have any information about the stand-in in my memory, but the world is so big that it doesn't mean that he is false, and his eyes and tone don't look like he's lying." ”
Her Royal Highness the Princess: I'm afraid that this Red World Demon King is not a blind man, Tang Ritian is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open!
Sage Megumi: But I also think that Da Clumsy's expression is very sincere.
Under the Snow: Let's get used to it.
Her Royal Highness: So you ignorant girls will be deceived by men.
Dr. Roman: However, as if you don't know, you do have an assistant approaching you.
Aides:???
Dr. Roman: Sorry, I made a typo, but I helped.
Assistant: If I'm not mistaken, you're in Japanese, right?
Dr. Roman: I was using Chinese just now.
Before, Tang Hao's situation was even, everyone was nervous, and they didn't dare to talk out loud, until they finally reassured at this moment, and started the usual discussion and shameless appeal to Tang Ritian, but they just talked about it.
Sealed inside, to put it mildly, the two sides finally reached a consensus, although Xia Na's temper is indeed not very good, but she will not make enemies for no reason, not to mention that she is still a person who doesn't even know the details of Alastol.
"Anyway, it was only the phosphorus that you knocked down just now, and its body is still hiding nearby, pay attention."
"Phosphorus?" Tang Hao twisted his eyebrows, he had a little impression of this word, but he couldn't remember the specifics.
"Phosphorus is the servant of the Red World." The girl explained in place of Alastol, "Although the Red World is powerful, they are only one after all, and for convenience, they will make a lot of servants to do things for themselves, which are divided into prop type and puppet type type, collectively known as phosphorus, and the performance of phosphorus depends on the ability of the master. ”
"I see, that is, although we knocked down two of them just now, it didn't have a real effect."
"Yes."
"The ......"
"Hey ......"
"I ......"
And in the process of the conversation between the two, Yuji Sakai, who was sitting on the sidelines, wanted to interject several times, but except for Tang Hao's occasional glance at him, the girl ignored it completely, as if he didn't exist at all, so he couldn't help but gradually raise his voice.
"Ah...... Uruse Uruse! Finally, the girl couldn't hold back any longer, and turned around sharply and glared at Sakai Yuji, "How long are you going to be verbose, just a torch, let me figure out where I stand, it's annoying!" ”
"Torch ......?" Sakai Yuji looked dazed, not knowing why she was so angry, and he didn't know how to refute, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found that the girl actually raised the sword and swung it at him.
"Ahh
In the exclamation, a wrist was cut off to the ground, but there was no blood, and when it landed, the blue fire disappeared.
"Is there a third body, I really don't give up." The girl's sword pointed behind Yuji Sakai, where there was a woman with her left hand cut off, "Do you want to get Mystis so much?" ”
"Flame and burning eyes, the fire of the world, the fire mist of Alastol......" The woman crossed her arms, her eyes full of hostility, "Damn crusade props, my master will not be silent!" ”
"Oh, so what?" The girl smiled heartily, "Even if his props were destroyed, he didn't show up, and even if he did appear, he could only scream before he died...... Of course, before that, let's start with you. ”
As she spoke, the girl raised her sword high.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! ”
And at the moment when the girl swung the knife, Yuji Sakai rushed out and blocked in front of the woman. The sudden figure made the girl's movements pause, and the woman sneered, and her right hand thrust like a sharp blade from Sakai Yuuji's back, trying to take the treasure from his body.
But the girl's movements were just a moment, and the next moment, the red-hot sword swung down without hesitation, splitting the woman and Sakai Yuuji's body together.
"Ahhhh......h
"Are you the Being?" The girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately chased after her, and at the same time shouted at Tang Hao without looking back, "There may be a fourth body, you look at that torch." ”
“Ok。” Tang Hao nodded in response, in the original book, Xia Na did not pursue, probably worried that Yuji Sakai would be attacked and robbed of the treasure in his body, but now that there is more of him, he has chosen a different route.
This may be the butterfly effect.
Tang Hao thought in his heart, but the doll flew very fast, and Xia Na might not be able to catch up.
"Ah......hh Save...... Help me......"
Hearing the cry for help behind him, Tang Hao turned his head, and a crack was pulled down from Yuji Sakai's left shoulder, almost splitting his upper body in half, such an injury is undoubtedly fatal for ordinary people.
"Save ...... Help me...... Please......" Yuji Sakai cast a pleading look at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao didn't react, just asked calmly, "Why?" It's all enemies, and when the two monsters were killed before, you didn't block the knife, but you had to block the knife for this woman...... Because she's at least like a person? …… Humans are creatures that are easily deceived by appearances. ”
"Please......"
"Take a good look, if an ordinary person is slashed like this, even if he is lucky enough not to die, most of them will be unable to make a sound, but you are still yelling so energetically, why do you think this is?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Yuji Sakai was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously turned his head sideways, only to find that his severed body did not shed the slightest blood.
"Finally found out, you're just half of your body cut off, don't make a fuss." Tang Hao stepped forward, squatted down beside him, gently poked his drooping shoulder, and asked, "It shouldn't hurt much, right?" ”
"Indeed...... It doesn't seem to hurt......" Yuji Sakai nodded stunned, he thought he was going to die when he saw himself being cut before, so he panicked and asked for help, but now that he came back to his senses, except for his left shoulder being a little immobile, he didn't feel any pain at all, "This ...... What's going on? ”
"Didn't the flat-chested monster just say it, you're just a torch."
"Torch?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know the specifics, I just know that you're not human anymore, as for the rest, wait for the flat-chested monster to come back, you let her tell you...... But then again......" Tang Hao leaned his head as he spoke, and looked at Yuji Sakai's wound, it was pitch black, and he didn't know what it looked like inside.
"You...... What are you doing? ”
"Don't worry, I'll just stick in and take a look, and it won't hurt you."
Tang Hao said as he stretched out his hand to Yuji Sakai's split body, he didn't have the idea of taking the zero-hour fan for himself, after all, without this thing, Yuji Sakai would be dead...... Although there are many fantasy fairy tale sets next door, he feels that he hasn't been bad enough to do so, just a little curious.
There's nothing you can't do even with a few phosphorus.
However, according to Xana, it is dangerous to open Mystis without permission......
That's right!
Tang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he cast a look at it, "Radiance covers me!" ”
Swish!
In an instant, a white light sprinkled from the brilliance, enveloping Tang Hao's body, faintly turning into a film of light visible to the naked eye on the surface of his body, making people feel a sense of security.
After putting on the mother's love shield, Tang Hao felt that there was nothing to fear, and immediately put his hand into Sakai Yuuji's body......
"Ahh
"What's it called?" Tang Hao frowned, "A lot of people are watching, can you stop making a sound?" It makes me feel like I'm doing something weird...... Shut up! ”
Ignoring Sakai Yuji's resentful expression, Tang Hao was concentrating on exploring in his body, and it was strange to say, obviously his body was only so big, but the space inside was very spacious, not only could his hands not touch the edge, but even the silk threads made by Tang Hao with limited spiritual power could continue to extend to the depths, as if this was a bottomless abyss......
Where the hell are the zero-hour fans? At least get in touch with it!
Tang Hao was a little anxious, after all, Xia Na might be back soon.
Pregnant!
Suddenly, Tang Hao trembled slightly, he felt that his Lingzi line touched something strange, and when the two touched, a strange force immediately spread upward, and there was a sharp stinging pain from the tips of his fingers, but also took advantage of this opportunity, Tang Hao grasped his fist and pulled away from Yuji Sakai's body.
Then, Tang Hao quickly stood up and turned around, opened his fist with the gaze of Sakai Yuji behind his back, and there was a wisp of blue fire in his palm.
This is the power of Yuji Sakai's existence!
Fortunately, I finally got it.
Tang Hao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, if it was a zero-hour fan, he probably had to stuff it back in.
Bang Bang –
At that moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.
It should be that Xia Na is back, Tang Hao immediately put the blue fire in his favorites, and then turned around casually, and sure enough, he saw Xia Na walking forward with an indifferent face.
"Didn't you catch it?"
"It ran away."
"Oh, that's a shame."
"Urusse!"
may not only have run away, but also been ridiculed, the girl's expression looked a little angry, and Tang Hao didn't ask more because he was a thief.
"Save ...... Help me......"
At the same time, Yuji Sakai looked at the girl with pleading eyes.
The girl lowered her head and muttered, "I was so startled just now, I almost forgot that this thing could move, it's true, it's just a torch, and it's all causing me trouble." ”
Tang Hao smiled, "He looks pitiful, you better help him fix it first." ”
"Hmph." The girl snorted softly, seemingly reluctantly, but eventually crouched down and pressed half of Yuji Sakai's body to put them back together.
Then, a blue flame burned on Yuji Sakai's body, causing him to jump in fright.
This is the power of existence...... Tang Hao couldn't help squinting his eyes, what the girl did was not a simple splicing, but repaired Yuji Sakai's body through the power of existence, if you compare his body to a figure, then this power of existence is equivalent to the role of 502.
And as Sakai Yuuji's body was repaired, the girl reached out to the sky and pointed at it, and bright light overflowed from her fingertips, and gradually, dozens of blue flames rose around her, and these blue flames once again turned into the people who had been devoured by the monster before, and even their postures were perfectly reproduced.
"Is this the torch?" Tang Hao asked.
"That's right, those people have already devoured the power of existence, but if so many people disappear at the same time, everyone will feel discordant, and it will even affect the collapse of the current world, so the existence of the torch is very necessary, but it will take several to repair the environment."
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her finger again, only to see that the street that had been destroyed by the battle before had been restored like going back in time, but on the contrary, three of the people who had just been "resurrected" had completely disappeared.
Then, when the girl lowered her wrist, everything around her came to life again, with footsteps, noise, and laughter, as if nothing had happened before.
Bang!
Tang Hao was looking at his surroundings when he was suddenly hit on the back.
"Wow, when did you stop in front of me?"
Tang Hao turned around and saw Mikoto Misaka rubbing her head and complaining. Before the closure was launched, the two were separated by four or five steps, but because Tang Hao was not trapped by the closure, the distance between the two was closer, and Mikoto Misaka maintained the previous trend, and naturally bumped into it.
Tang Hao didn't answer, but asked, "Do you feel anything strange?" ”
"Strange place? Of course there is, you guy is walking in front of me in a dignified manner, why did you suddenly come to me and cause me to bump into ...... By the way, you learned to teleport? ”
"That's not what I'm asking."
"What's that?"
Mikoto Misaka asked puzzled, just when Tang Hao was disappointed, Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple suddenly frowned, "There are three people missing." ”
"Huh?" Mai Trito turned her head.
Youzhu stared ahead, "I have been observing before, within twenty meters, there are several people around, what kind of people, I remember it clearly, but now...... No, although there are three fewer people around, there is one more ...... that didn't exist in the first place Why? Is it my delusion? ”
"Not a delusion." Tang Hao shook his head, "Your feeling is correct, because we were hit just now." ”
The three people missing are the torches that Xana used to repair the environment, and the extra person is Xana. Mikoto didn't notice this detail, but Yuju did...... I have to admit that lonely people are really good at observing.
"Hit? When was this? Mai Trin was still at a loss.
"Actually......"
"Wait! What the hell was going on with all that? Flames can be seen in the bodies of Hirai-san, and the people around them, what happened to them? And the child, who disappeared all of a sudden, where did he go? You ......"
"Ah, it's noisy!"
Just as Tang Hao was about to explain, there was a sound of quarrel in front of him, but it was Yuji Sakai who pulled Xia Na and kept asking questions, which finally made her unhappy again.
"I'll explain later." Tang Hao greeted the two and immediately walked forward.
"Since you want to know so much, I'll get straight to the point...... That's right, you're not human, you're a thing! Just as Tang Hao and the three of them approached, Xia Na, who had changed from burning eyes to black and straight, glared at Sakajin Yuji and said coldly, "It's not just you, those who can see the flames in their bodies are, just now, their existence has been eaten by the Red World, not simply death, but has become non-existent from the beginning, no one knows them, no one remembers them, even if they disappear around people, humans can't realize it." ”
"But you didn't ...... them just now?"
"It's just a torch made by the power of being, a substitute for humanity."
"Replacement?"
"It's called a stand-in." Tang Hao approached the two and said, "It's like a school, there were originally two hundred students, but suddenly a hundred people were eaten and existed, even if no one remembered them, the people around them would feel strange, and extending this phenomenon to the whole world, such as factories, armies and even governments, would cause the world to lose balance, so make a substitute for human beings, let them disappear one by one over time, so that no one will feel abnormal, after all...... Humans are habitual creatures. ”
"Exactly." The pendant on Xana's chest sparkled as she said, "Take the earth under your feet, if you let it collapse suddenly, humanity will be greatly affected, but if you replace the earth with a glacier and let it melt slowly, the impact will be minimized...... However, whether it is an iceberg or an earth, the conclusion is the same, they do not exist. ”
Yuji Sakai's eyes widened, and there was a chill in his heart, "That is to say, ......"
"That's right." Xana looked him straight into the eyes, "The real you have long since been eaten and disappeared, and now you are just an empty shell, a thing...... It's just the dregs of your predecessor. ”
Hearing this, Yuji Sakai lowered his head and looked at the blue fire coming out of his chest, not only frightened, but also unable to accept the fear of reality.
And for Xia Na, whether it is Yuji Sakai or Tang Hao, they are just passers-by on her journey, if it weren't for Yuji Sakai pestering her, she wouldn't have said it, and after she finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Tang Hao withdrew his gaze from Xia Na's back, looked at Yuji Sakai with a dull face, and muttered, "It seems to be very hit." ”
"I don't understand what happened, but we met the main master, right?" Meiqin asked Tang Hao in a low voice.
"Well, I'll explain it to you in detail later, as for ...... now" Tang Hao nodded, now he is faced with two choices, follow Xana? Or follow Yuji Sakai?
Thinking of this, he immediately took out his mobile phone.
At this moment, the mission interface has finally been updated with new content, with two more names.
Yuji Sakai: Causal point 5.
Flame-Burning Crusade: Causal Point 1.
Although there are some surprises, it is also a natural result.
