Chapter XXXVIII - Light, Justice
[NO.38 - Bright, Justice]
"Okay, don't make any noise," Zong Fang stopped the two of them in time and clapped his hands, "Everyone is tired, take a good rest first, and wait until the evening to act." β
"At night?"
"At night, Obic should be with the shadow in the pot," Munakata said in a deep voice, "I have a good idea!" β
At the same time, on the hill of Hikino Street, Obic sat next to the pot, looking down at the town covered with a layer of gold under the reflection of the sunset, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he muttered in a low voice: "Shadow~ Only the beautiful sunset is the same as usual, I think we still have to leave this place." β
The lid of the pot was opened, and the shadow came out and looked at Orbik: "Leave"
He knew what Orbick meant by "leaving."
"It's like a dream," Orbik rested his head on his arm, "the former village has disappeared imperceptibly, and so have the friends on and off the mountain." β
The confusion in Obic's eyes gradually disappeared and turned into a resolute one, Obic reached out and stroked the lid of the pot, and said, "I said that the shadow is the last night, let's have a good job!" β
"Good!"
As the sun sets, the sun is about to set, and the town is already in a panic, and everyone goes home early, hiding in their homes and never going out, and the lights of the town go out quickly, taking away the last bit of light from the town.
"It was a dark night." Next to the ancient well, Tianxiang looked up at the moonless and starless sky, and his heart was also covered with a haze, he always had an ominous premonition, tonight, it was destined not to be quiet.
"No matter what the weather, we still have to work." Munakata assembled the long-range gun and aimed it at the wellhead.
"Let's hope this retrograde method really works!" Horii loaded the long-range gun and stood up and aimed it at the wellhead as well.
"It's hard for us to be like this"
"Ready to shoot!"
Five flares were fired into the ancient well, and in the next second, the flares rose and exploded not far away.
"There it is!"
Everyone was in good spirits and rushed over quickly, and just as they were about to rush to the place where the signal flare was launched, Dagu suddenly stopped and looked at the sign that "Yanye Street Health Park Construction Reservation Site" was stunned for a moment.
"What a stupid way," Tianxiang, who was deliberately soaking in the end, rushed up unhurriedly at this time, "With Obick's ability to teleportation in the dark, if you really find him this time, there is only one possibility." β
"Obik doesn't want to hide anymore," Da Gu understood what Tianxiang meant for the first time this time, and his eyes became solemn, "He wants to end everything tonight." β
"The best way is to knock Obik unconscious," Tianxiang walked to Dagu's side, "wait until the construction team evacuates and keeps the mountain, and then persuade Obik not to be too late." β
"I said it, this method is not advisable!" Dagu glared at Tianxiang, "There is a better way, we will definitely find a quiet place for Obik to live!" β
"Dagu, how did your brain grow?" Tianxiang glanced at Da Gu and walked around him to the top of the mountain, "It's not that Obik doesn't have long legs, if he really just needs a quiet place, won't he go find it himself?" β
"This"
By the time the two reached the top of the mountain, the others had already pushed Obic to the edge of the cliff, and Obic was holding the pot with his back to the crowd.
"It's exactly the same as before, the same darkness." Obic looked at the silent town below, suddenly turned around, pointed behind him and said excitedly, "Look! That was the night in the old village! Our village is back, the old village is back! β
Orbik laughed a few times, but these few laughs were genuine, but in the eyes of GUTS, they were so sad.
"It's the village lookout, and there's a clear river," Orbik said emotionally, as if he had forgotten who he was and who he was, "and on the other side of the river is an endless lotus root pond!" The village is back! The village is back!! β
Obik's voice became more and more excited, and in the end he even danced with his hands, suddenly, Tianxiang, who felt that there was an outsider approaching, looked at the rear vigilantly, but saw that in the hidden place behind, there was a group of monsters standing there, they collectively stretched out their hands, Tianxiang could feel a steady stream of dark energy flowing out of their hands, slowly flowing in the direction of the village, these dark energy was extremely thin, and there was no attack effect, and even ordinary people could not feel it at all, but the formation of illusions was rich and surplus.
Sure enough, looking back, the original town had changed into a different appearance in a distortion, and everyone at GUTS was shocked, the village appearance of the lookout, the river, and the lotus root pond at this time was exactly the same as what Orbike described!
Orbik danced and laughed, screaming "back" all the time, excited like a child.
"Orbik!" Da Gu, who knew that this was an illusion, finally couldn't stand it, and he didn't want Obik to continue to indulge in the illusion, "That's not the village!" There was no village left in that darkness! β
Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Da Gu, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a huge dark energy suddenly joined the energy flow that those monsters were trying to release, and the monsters hiding in the distance trembled in unison, their energy compared to this energy, it was simply the difference between a small stream and a big river! However, when he realized that Tianxiang had no malicious intent, he didn't make any other moves, just threw a grateful look at Tianxiang.
The illusion of the village in the distance was more real, Da Gu looked at Tianxiang in surprise, they both stood at the end, the others didn't notice Tianxiang's movements, but he could see it clearly, the huge dark energy, and he also felt it clearly!
"You're lying to me, I saw it!" Obick's voice came, "The old village! β
"The former village has long since disappeared!" Da Gu decided to put aside his doubts about Tianxiang for the time being, and stepped forward, and the attention of the others was also attracted by Da Gu - they all knew that this was an illusion.
Da Gu stretched out his right hand, although he also felt that Tianxiang's words made sense, but he still wanted to try: "Come with me, I will find a quiet place for you to live, I will definitely find it!" β
"I don't want it!" To Dagu's surprise, Obik roared angrily, "If this is not the previous village!" If it weren't for the previous village."
Orbik put down the pot, didn't hide his tears, and shouted, "I'm going to destroy this place!" β
Obic roared and transferred all the power of the shadow to himself, and at the same time, the youkai hiding in the distance also dissolved the illusion, and all the youkai on the mountain contributed their power to transfer the power to Obic's body - what Obic did at this time was also their common wish.
In the darkness of light, Obik became a giant and shouted, "Disperse, everyone! β
"Understood!"
After scattering, Da Gu, who deliberately ran to the hidden place, took out the divine light stick for the first time, but she didn't transform for a long time, and she felt for the first time that the divine light stick in her hand, this light, was so heavy.
He didn't know how to fight, he didn't even know if he should fight, but he had to fight.
In the night, it was a particularly dazzling light flashed, Diga blocked in front of Obik, Obic rushed to the town at first, after Diga stopped it a few times, Obic seemed to have found a punching bag and turned to attack Tiga, even if the power of more monsters gathered together, it would not be strong after all, Obic could not be Tiga's opponent, just because Diga didn't know how he was going to face Obic, always to dodge, supplemented by prevention, without an active attack, For a while, he was overwhelmed by Obik's untechnical offensive.
After dozens of rounds, Obic suddenly shot a flame bomb, Diga didn't expect him to attack from a distance, he didn't have time to react for a while, and was knocked to the ground, and at the same time, by Diga's side, a purple pillar of light rose into the sky.
The pillar of light was shattered, and Beria appeared next to Diga, who was stunned for a moment, stood up and was about to rush to Obic again, but was blocked by Beria raising his hand.
"Stand down," Belia's icy voice came, "it's a dark battle. β
Pushing Diga away, Beria slowly walked towards Orbik, Orbik hesitated, rushed forward quickly, and punched Beria in the chest, Beria also punched Orbick in the chest, Orbik took two steps back, and slapped Beria in the face, Beria tilted his head, and then slapped back silently again.
Diga was stunned, and the GUTS below was completely stupid, at this time Beria was like a robot, standing in place and letting Obik attack, how Obike attacked, he returned exactly the same, Obike roared again and again, but Beria was silent.
Finally, Obic roared and slapped Beria in the face five or six times in a row, and Beria slapped him fiercely, knocking Obic directly to the ground.
"Enough dreams, it's time to wake up," Beria's voice said without a hint of emotion, "you and you, you should have had enough." β
Orbik stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouthβBeria had hit him hardβand continued to attack Beria, who kicked him away.
"You protect the mountain, well, I'll help you, but," Beria paused, then exclaimed, "If you want to ruin the current village and die in your memories, I'd rather wake you up and kill you with my own hands!" β
Orbik stood up and clenched his fists.
"Protecting memories is different from dying in memories, the former is respectable, the latter is sad," Beria's tone was no longer calm, "I don't care what means you use to protect this mountain, find your friends on the mountain, or even rebuild the village to its former state, but if you want to destroy this place, it is absolutely impossible!" β
"Because it's not just me who is stopping you," Beria raised his right hand, and an energy bullet quickly formed, "and yourself." β
The energy bomb was thrown at the village by Beria, but Obic, who had been saying that he was going to destroy the village, did not hesitate to pounce on it and blocked the energy bomb with his body.
Orbik was knocked over by the energy bullet, and when he stood up, he was facing the town, the original illusion had disappeared, and the former village was long gone.
Obic walked towards the mountain of Hikino Street, this time Beria did not stop him, walking past Belial, Obic thought for a moment, aimed at Tiga, crossed his hands in front of his mouth, and quickly accumulated the flame bomb.
Tiga, who had suffered a loss once, subconsciously threw out a light bullet, but Obik did not fire the fire projectile, allowing Diga's light bullet to hit his chest.
Hearing the sound from behind, Beria was shocked and looked back, only to see that Obic had fallen to the ground.
Beria didn't expect that in the end, things would turn out like this.
Diga wanted to go over and help Obik, but was preempted by Beria, Beria half-knelt beside Obik, supported his upper body with his left hand, and pressed Obik's chest with his right hand, and the lilac [Huitian] quickly poured in, but for Obik, who was full of death, even if it was a real technique to return to heaven, I am afraid it would not be able to recover.
"This is the way of the light," Beria lowered his head and said in a cold voice as he tried his best to continue Obic's life, "Now Obic's body has the power and life of all the monsters on the entire mountain!" Tiga, you call me cruel, you say I'm a demon, but what about you who killed hundreds of lives with one blow? β
I don't know if it was deliberate, but Beria didn't use the way of voice transmission, but said it directly in Japanese, and the people at GUTS heard it clearly.
Tiga didn't reply.
"Your future battles will be destined to bear these hundreds of lives, this is the price you pay for tonight, this is the price you must pay for fulfilling 'justice'!"
Beria's word "justice" is particularly important, and Diga can't help but start wondering, is what he is doing really justice?
No, it's not, as the people of Kiri Elrod say, he Tiga, he Dagu, is also a demon.
What has he done since he had this power? Killing, constantly killing.
He is just an ordinary human, so since he has this power, he must protect the human race, and at the same time, he must also destroy those species that threaten the human race.
Yes, the price of protecting one side is always to destroy the other.
After destroying those two Gakumars, Dagu had tried to understand those monsters, and even the cosmic people, but he never dared to think about it, because once he thought about it, he would find that what he had done was just the most selfish thing he had done from the perspective of human beings.
Even if it was really humans who were wrong, even if it was really humans who hurt those monsters, it was humans who forced those monsters to come out and resist, he had to destroy those monsters, and he couldn't and didn't dare to think from the perspective of those monsters.
For humans, Tiga is a savior, and for monsters, Tiga is not a demon.
The light he firmly believes in is the light of salvation, and it is not the light of destruction.
Is darkness really evil? At this time, Beria, who is desperately trying to save Obic, is it really a demon?
Is light really justice? At this time, Diga, who killed Obik with his own hands and killed the entire mountain of youkai with his own hands, is he really a hero?
Da Gu couldn't help but think: What is the difference between the light that is too powerful and the darkness?
What is the difference between an overly powerful hero and a demon?
He's just an ordinary person, why should he think about this, why should he bear this power!
"Damn!"
Tiga was dragged back to reality by Beria's scolding, only to see that Beria's hand on Obik's chest was clenched tightly, while Obike waved his hand and turned his head to look at the village.
And at this moment, a huge ball of light suddenly appeared above, quickly smashing towards Obik.
"The power of youkai is very rare, how can it be wasted like this? Hey, hey~~~~"
