Chapter Thirty-Seven - Darkness, Evil
[NO.37-Darkness, Evil]
"Don't underestimate the power of darkness!" Obic threw away the silver-white wig on his head, waved his wand, smashed the street lamp above with a beam, and after a few low laughs, he disappeared in an instant.
The conductor sighed, the night was in vain.
At this moment, a hoarse laughter suddenly sounded around them, and everyone covered their ears in pain.
And this laughter made Tianxiang completely stupid, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle's eye.
This laughter is
Kaos !!!!!!!
After perceiving it carefully, Tianxiang suddenly shouted, "The voice is coming from the east!" Then he took the lead and ran to the east.
"Everyone, get back in the car and stay vigilant!" Zong Fang shouted in a low voice, and also led everyone to follow, but after passing a corner, he could no longer find Tianxiang's figure, and he didn't care about it in a hurry, and continued to lead everyone to the parking lot.
At the same time, Tianxiang has teleported to the extreme south of Hikono Street, in fact, he doesn't know where Kaos is at all, if Kaos doesn't take the initiative to show up, he basically can't find Kaos, but he believes that since Kaos is not dead, then he is definitely here to find him, so he only needs to branch the group of people from GUTS.
"Kaos! You're not dead yet!! After making sure that there was no one around, Tianxiang said in a loud voice, "Get out of here!" β
"Hey, hey~~~"
The piercing laughter still kept coming from the surroundings, as if it was provoking and mocking, and although Tianxiang was angry, he had no choice but to shout angrily again: "Come out!" β
"Hey, hey, hey, hey"
A familiar ball of light suddenly appeared in front of Tianxiang, and disappeared immediately after condensing the hideous head, and at the same time, the oozing laughter finally stopped.
What does this mean, Kaos? There was no offensive tonight, which meant that he just wanted to tell himself that he was not dead, or that he was resurrected.
What's to be done? Threat? Intimidate?
How did he survive? That's Zaki's power!
One mystery after another surged up from the bottom of Tianxiang's heart, but it was really useless for a while, and he angrily hammered the wall and walked in the direction of the mountain on Hikino Street.
On the other side, after the laughter stopped, GUTS naturally had no way to track it, and just when a group of people were at a loss, Dagu suddenly said: "Anyway, the laughter has stopped, let's continue to track Obic, right?" β
Xincheng glanced at him: "To put it lightly, Obik has long disappeared without a trace, how can you track it?" β
"Stupid, don't talk nonsense if you don't know," Horii on the side patted Xinshi, and then asked, "Dagu, I seem to have seen you throw something into the pot at that time?" β
Da Gu smiled, took out an instrument, and said lightly: "Monster tracker~"
In the early morning of the next day, everyone followed the display of the monster tracker to the foot of the mountain on Hikino Street, but they never saw Obik.
"Ah, why can't I find it?" After walking all night and finding nothing, Lina couldn't help but complain.
Shinjo agreed, and at the same time looked at Horii with suspicion: "Could it be that the machine is broken?" β
"Absolutely impossible!" Seeing that Xincheng dared to doubt his invention, Horii couldn't help but be furious and glared back fiercely, "The things I invented are all very practical, and they are unusual, durable, and useful!" β
"Wait!" Lina stopped the two of them arguing and pointed to the old well not far away, "This seems to be the place where the young man was found?" β
"Are you looking for this?"
An old voice came, and everyone followed the sound to look at it, but it was a man dressed as a monk, and what he was holding in his hand was the monster tracker.
The commander glanced at everyone and stepped forward to ask, "Master, where did you find it?" β
The master was not ambiguous and replied, "In the middle of the night last year, I was on my way back from the donor's house after doing the rituals. β
"So that pot," Dagu suddenly realized, "Maybe it's connected to this well!" β
The conductor nodded, and said in a deep voice, "From darkness, to darkness." β
"In other words," Lina pointed to the well, "that young man must have also passed through this passage and was transferred from the city to here!" β
"That's right!" Horii shouted exaggeratedly.
"yes, that makes sense." The old master chimed in.
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Master, do you know what we're talking about? β
"No, it's about Young Master Ayan." The old master had a look of seeing through everything.
Da Gu took the lead in expressing everyone's doubts: "Young Master Ayan? β
"Talk as you go." The old master nodded, then turned and walked up the steps, and everyone looked at each other, but they had to follow.
The old master walked forward with his hands in his hands, walked in front, and whispered as if telling a story: "Obik, formerly known as 'Young Master Ayan', legend has it that he has been living in a dark corner of this area for a long, long time, but in recent years, Young Master Ayan has also lived very unrestlessly" Walking up to the top of the mountain, the old master pointed down and continued: "It is said that this area used to be an endless lotus root pond, and it was also a comfortable and peaceful village. β
A group of people looked in the direction of the old man's finger: the lotus root pond was occupied by cold houses and barbed wire, and the tranquility was replaced by the noise of large machines such as excavators, and there was still the old man described.
"It's pathetic," Lina said, shaking her head.
The old master seemed to be immersed in the memories and did not hear Lina's words, and continued: "At night, the whole village will be immersed in darkness, but now it is different! This mountain will soon be built into a health paradise, and it was supposed to break ground tomorrow, and by that time, it will definitely be lively. β
At the end of the old man's speech, his tone couldn't help revealing a trace of sadness and loneliness, in order not to be noticed by the people of GUTS, the old master hurriedly handed the tracker to Zong Fang and said, "Farewell." β
Zongfang looked at the tracker in his hand, sighed imperceptibly, and ordered: "That's the end of tracking Obik, let's go back to the headquarters first and redraw the battle plan." β
"Understood!"
In a hidden place in the distance, looking at the old man and GUTS who had left one after another, Tianxiang said to Obic, who was holding a black umbrella beside him: "Your friend? β
"Sort of," Orbik put down his binoculars, "he's a youkai who lives in this area, but he's been busy moving out lately."
"If you want to keep this mountain, you will definitely pay the price," Tianxiang glanced at Obic, "A certain number of deaths are inevitable, why don't you understand?" β
"I understand!" Obic roared, then pondered for a moment, and finally sighed heavily, "It's just that what if you save it, the lotus root pond, the peaceful village, the old friends in the mountains, and even the darkness here are all leaving little by little!" β
"The construction of a health paradise is also for the good of the people in the village," Obik looked up at the bottom of the mountain, "In the final analysis, it is actually us monsters who are reluctant to do it"
Tianxiang was about to say something, but Obic had already turned into smoke and disappeared.
At this time, the people of GUTS who had not found anything all night were driving tiredly to the TPC Far East Headquarters Base, and when they arrived at the hospital near Hikino Street, they saw a group of people gathered in the open space in front of the hospital, including many reporters and policemen. Examine.
"How can there be so many people at the entrance of this hospital?" Horii asked with a frown.
Xincheng also looked at the crowd: "I also think it's a little strange, let's go, go over and have a look!" β
After everyone got out of the car and walked over, they realized that these citizens and reporters were all coming for the rumors of Obic, and as soon as the "authoritative" GUTS arrived, they were immediately surrounded by a group of citizens and reporters.
"His face is white, is it true?"
"He must have been drained of blood!"
"I heard that after he was beaten by the pot, he was drained of blood!"
"I heard that Obik has a pot on his head?"
"I heard that Obic's head is as big as a pot?"
One question after another gave the GUTS crowd a headache, and just when they were about to be driven crazy by this group of people, Commander Zongfang stood up in time: "Listen, everyone! The man who saw Orbik is still alive! It's in this hospital! So please hurry home and avoid going out after dark! And don't go near the unfamiliar nighttime soba stalls! β
After listening to the command, there was another commotion, and then it gradually dispersed, but there was still a discussion about Obic, and there were many people who claimed to have seen Obic.
Da Gu looked at the people who were scattered while discussing, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart: "I know, I know!" β
"Know what?" Seeing that there was progress, the commander hurriedly asked.
"I know why Orbick let that young man come back."
"Why?"
"I want everyone to be afraid," Da Gu said confidently, "In a place where rumors are spreading, if there are really victims, the whole town will definitely be in chaos!" β
"The purpose is to make the people of the town scared," Munakata concluded, and the others also had "I see" expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, there was a familiar flute sound around.
"Orbik!" "It's Orbik coming!" "Run!!"
As soon as the flute sounded, the surrounding crowd immediately exploded, screaming and running in all directions.
The people at GUTS were also startled, and hurriedly rushed to the direction where the sound came from, but when they got there, the sound stopped abruptly, and Obic was nowhere to be seen.
"Doesn't he live in a dark place?!"
"Good! Search the dark corners of town! β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
For a whole day, the sound of the whistle never stopped, and a few people from GUTS ran around the town, but there was nothing they could do about Obic's magical teleportation in the dark, and even everyone took a few hits to a greater or lesser extentβbut they were just minor injuries that didn't hurt.
"Why the hell is he scaring the people of the town like this! Why-" Xincheng rubbed his sore waist, as if he was about to shout out the resentment of the whole day.
The roar of the new city was also everyone's voice, Lina sighed, and looked at the photo of Obic in her hand helplessly.
Dagu saw the photo in Lina's hand, and when he saw that it seemed to be Obik, he snatched it and asked, "What is this?" β
Lina explained, "It's a picture from Orbik, but it seems that he struggled to endure the flash, he must be afraid of light, right?" β
"That's it~This is really weird~" Horii, who had regained some of his energy after drinking the water, immediately interjected, "You know, right? The most feared thing for youkai is the light, and if you are exposed to the light, you will die! So no matter what, it's impossible to run here and that in broad daylight! Tsk, it's so weird~"
Listening to Horii's words, Dagu's eyes changed as he looked at the photo in his hand, and he suddenly asked, "Why take such a risk?" β
"Huh?"
"There must be some special reason to risk death to scare the townspeople!"
"Didn't you hear what the old master said?" Tianxiang, who was hiding in the distance, finally couldn't listen anymore and walked out.
"What?" Da Gu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses, "Could it be that you want to keep this village?" β
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately unanimously approved by others, but Tianxiang shook his head.
"I thought so at first, but now I realize that I was wrong," Tianxiang walked over and took Obic's photo, "After this period of investigation, I found that it was not so much to protect the village as to be in everyone's sight." β
"Want to be in everyone's sight?" Xincheng was puzzled.
"It's like you never knew about the existence of 'Young Master Ayan', and it was my guess that he wanted to appear in everyone's sight at the end," Tianxiang put the photo in his pocket without hesitation, "However, I do know that Beria wants to help Obik keep the village." β
"How do you know?"
"The construction team that rushed over this morning was all wiped out again, and the method was the same as last time."
Tianxiang's cold words surprised everyone, they really didn't know that Beria had already killed the second wave of people.
"Beria's method is clearly undesirable!" Da Gu's emotions were a little excited, after all, those were all human lives one by one, "Is he going to come and kill a group of people in waves, is this endless?" β
"You're wrong," Tianxiang immediately retorted, "at most four or five waves of people, and then you can keep that mountain for more than ten years or even decades, this is a very simple thing, Beria's murder methods are very strange, after two deaths in a row, as long as a little rumor is spread, everyone will believe that it is haunted." β
"I see, is it the opposite of Orbik?" Zongfang immediately understood Tianxiang's words, "Obic first spreads rumors and then creates victims, while Beria creates victims first and then spreads rumors. β
"Either way, this approach is simply not advisable!" Da Gu still didn't retreat, although the others didn't say anything, but it could be seen that they also maintained the same idea as Da Gu, "That's dozens of living lives!" What is the difference between Beria and the devil by doing this! In Beria's own absence, Dagu subconsciously poured his anger on Tianxiang, "I wanted to try to change my mind, but I found out that I was wrong!" Darkness, after all, is evil! β
