Chapter 18: Awakening
What was supposed to be a quiet night was an untimely muffled sound.
Next to the flower bed in front of the ward building, Aozaki Orange frowned as the corpse fell into the flower bed, crushing a large area of plants.
Then she turned her head to look at the girl who landed on all fours gracefully like a civet cat in the dust of the atriumβ
"What a scare me, are you a cat?"
Even in the darkness of the night, she could see clearly what had happened to the two ceremonies and the moment the dead man fell from the window on the third floor.
To be exact, it is the two rituals that grab the collarbone of the deceased and throw it underneath.
The moment she approached the ground, she pressed the deceased's body down, and she jumped directly into the air. The body of the deceased was knocked to the ground, and the maiden jumped horizontally before hitting the ground.
The corpse landed in the flower bed in front of the ward building, but the two ceremonies slipped into the atrium a considerable distance away.
This kind of operation can be regarded as a magic skill for ordinary people and even magicians, and Aozaki Orange is completely ashamed of herself, and as for Asakami Fujino, who was behind her, her eyes widened in surprise.
ββ¦β¦β
The two ceremonies didn't answer, just felt the pain in their throats, and even though they managed to land on the ground with a magic technique that they hadn't done in the dojo, her limbs were still paralyzed by the weight of the third floor.
After a long time, she asked, "Is that you?" Why here? β
Although she didn't look back, she was still enduring the shock from the moment she landed, but she could hear that it was the voice of the woman who claimed to be a life consultant.
Aozaki Orange replied in a tone full of boredom, "Because I'm going to spy on you, I just think it should be tonight, so I'm just here to try my luck." β
"That or this, it's all the chess pieces you arranged." The two ceremonies said through gritted teeth.
"Well, this was indeed my mistake. Although it made an enchantment so that spirits could not enter, it borrowed a body to bypass it. Generally speaking, those guys shouldn't have this kind of intelligence. β
The orange magician laughed happily.
"In the end, it's a hospital, and we can still find a good corpse. Those guys can only exert their power by entering tangible things through spirits, so they plan to borrow corpses to kill you and then possess them. β
For the spirits here in the hospital, the girl's body is a particularly high-quality container, and there is a hole in her heart, and she is too easily possessed.
Planktons pursue bodies, they have no will, only instinct. I want to return to my former self, I want a human body.
"Well, why don't you do something!"
Feeling a little annoyed for no reason, she tried to stand up, but felt her feet a little numb, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the deceased in the flower bed had slowly stood up.
Obviously, both legs have been broken, but it seems that he can move just by relying on his muscles, and he walks towards her again.
"Yes, after all, if you accept the commission, you really can't get hurt, otherwise the employer will deduct my money......"
With a snap, Aozaki Orange snapped her fingers and smiled even more happily.
But after hearing her words, the two ceremonies frowned, what commission? Can't put yourself in harm's way? Who is the employer?
Aozaki took off the cigarette and used the flames of the cigarette to engrave words in mid-air, and the strange words reunited with the body of the deceased not far away like a projector.
The distant place formed by the straight line alone, the magic mark in the distant world, the circuit that called the mark surged with magic, and the body of the deceased suddenly burned.
It's just that it doesn't seem to be affected at all, and it still slowly continues to stagger towards the two rituals, and the fire on its body disappears in a short time.
"Hey, you liar."
The corners of the two ceremonies' mouths twitched slightly, is this guy here to be funny?
"Ahem, I didn't expect such a situation, I didn't have time to arrange, the medium I have at hand is too weak." Aozaki Orange explained with some embarrassment.
"It's very difficult to destroy an object the size of a human being, and if you're still alive, you can just burn your heart, but it won't work for the dead. Because I'm dead, it doesn't matter if I don't have hands or feet or I don't have a head......"
"Don't explain it over there, in short, it's your level that is insufficient!"
The two ceremonies retreated, and her speech seemed to traumatize Orange Aosaki.
ββ¦β¦ Magic is not omnipotent, equivalent exchange is the basic, in order to achieve the goal must be paid, isn't it a matter of course? β
The puppeteer frowned disapprovingly.
Although magic can make things happen or complete in an instant, it also requires all kinds of preparations in advance, but if she knew that such a thing would happen, wouldn't it be better to stop it directly?
So of course, Aozaki Orange didn't have any preparation.
It's justβ
With a tooth-aching sound, the moving corpse was suddenly frozen in its original space, and then ...... It was twisted into a twist by some invisible force.
The scene is quite terrifying.
Aozaki Orange was slightly stunned, and then turned to look at the eldest lady with long black and straight hair behind her, and the other party's eyes were blooming with beautiful light at this time.
She exhaled a little helplessly: "It's really a mistake to forget Fujino's ability." β
The spiral ignited in Asakami Fujino's eyes went out, and then she also breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded very reservedly, after all, this was the first time she had used her magic eye to distort the target......
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the kind of hideous-looking corpse of a dead person, she might not be able to overcome the psychological barrier.
"Then again, that guy wouldn't have known such a thing and would suggest you come out with me, right?" Aozaki Orange suddenly looked at the twisted corpse with some suspicion.
"This ...... I don't know. The eldest lady of the Asagami family shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know.
"Hey, I'm talking about you...... What the hell is going on! β
A voice interjected next to him, and the two ceremonies, who were limping a little as they walked, bit their lower lip and slowly paced over from there, looking up and down at the two people opposite with suspicious eyes.
"Re-introduction, Kalantang, Aosaki Orange, is a magician...... This is my employee and apprentice, Asakami Fujino, the eldest lady of the Asakami family. β
"Tricksters?"
"Nonsense, that's not what you think of as a magician!" Aozaki Orange said dissatisfied.
"What did you say before...... Also true? β
The two ceremonies turned their heads and tossed their long hair behind her, her tone becoming firm as she looked at the corpse not far away.
"You said it, you want to teach me how to use these eyes."
"Yes, but before you said that you didn't have the will to live, didn't you reject me?" The puppeteer nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time curled the corners of his mouth in a wicked manner.
"No, I've changed my mind now...... Anyway, I don't have any other purpose than that. The two ceremonies didn't look back at Aozaki Orange, but just said something like this quietly-
"Besides, you seem to know a lot of things, don't you? You've been hinting at me for a long time, you...... What the hell are you trying to tell me? β
"yes, what the hell is it? Maybe it's your delusion. β
Aozaki Orange smiled wickedly, and then she changed the subject of course, "It's conditional, I'll teach you how to use the magic eye." In exchange for you to help me with my work, I don't have any demons anymore, and I just need help. β
"That, can you kill someone?"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Probably so." The corners of the puppeteer's mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't ask how he was treated, he just asked if he could kill someone, and if he wanted to be so cruel?
"Then I'll do it, whatever you want......" The girl said as a matter of course, and then stared at Aozaki Orange, obviously not opening the magic eye, but that kind of gaze made the latter feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
The puppeteer sighed helplessly, and pouted: "Don't look at me like that, it's taboo to leak the employer's information without authorization, and I won't smash the signboard myself...... That's the limit, so if you want to know more, find out for yourself. β
Then, as if disgusted, she saidβ
"The cave of Garan has a lot to fill, you ...... Anyway, I mean, no one knows what the future holds. β
"......" seriously pondered the information revealed in the other party's words, and the two ceremonies bowed their heads thoughtfully.
Then, as if sensing something, she looked up at Asakami Fujino in some surprise.
But at this time, the eldest lady had already lowered her eyes and looked away just right, avoiding the occurrence of eye contact.
The two ceremonies frowned.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cumulonimbus clouds from early summer cascade on the distant horizon.
Occasionally, a cool breeze blew through the hair of Mu Xiu, who was sitting on the edge of the rooftop of the building. He looked condescendingly at the neat streets of the city, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It's already May.
Because of his intervention, the two ceremonies woke up much earlier than expected, and in fact she would not have come to her senses until June 13th, a little over a month later.
But now, she's been working in the orange's Jialantang for about two months, and she's been tracking her tracks latelyβ
Since the day she was discharged from the hospital, Mu Xiu disappeared directly, usually only by phone, and never went back to Jialantang, in order to avoid meeting the other party.
It's just that with the intentional or unintentional assistance of Aozaki Orange, the two ceremonies are still approaching the goal step by step.
"What a nosy guy, but he's kind or something, I've seen too much at eight o'clock......"
Mu Xiu rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, but the mother of Guanbuzi was tight-lipped and didn't say anything that shouldn't have been said, so he was still able to be so leisurely and comfortable, and he still caught people to do experiments from time to time.
There will never be a shortage of worthless and crime-ridden guys in this world, and for Mu Xiu, who can travel the entire earth in a few minutes at any time, his main god game has quite sufficient and perfect blood-forming mechanisms.
Because of his size, Mu Xiu didn't think about becoming a fat man in one bite, but developed the main god game he built step by step from scratch-
According to the mechanism he knew, the formation of reincarnation teams one by one was attached to the platform of the space, and more than a dozen so-called plot worlds were constructed in the quantum space.
A multi-complex miniature world view has taken shape in this way, and because no one can survive the plot more than a dozen times in a row, those dozen mission scenes are actually enough.
For the unlucky ones in the middle of it, this is more than enough to create a sense of "infinity".
"It's a pity that the exchange list still can't be filled up quickly......"
Mu Xiu sighed, and because people had been missing in the city so often recently, Jialantang had even received a relevant commission, and he felt that he would have to recruit people a little further away.
But now, what's more important is that-
Perhaps because of the butterfly effect he brought, the plot of Bombindevil has already begun.
Of course, Mu Xiu didn't care about the impact of the Bomb Demon, he was just a little entangled in the actions of the two rituals - when he heard that the Bomb Demon might be a person with the "measure" type of future vision, the girl decisively accepted the commission.
As for what she hopes to use the other party's future vision to find, it naturally goes without saying.
