Aozaki Orange's words hit the nail on the head, and Aruba's pride came to an abrupt end.

Since things are always associated with many obstacles, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Even though it is perfect in itself, there are always unpredictable obstacles in the outside world.

"I don't know what the specific plan of that guy is, but that guy's purpose is to reach the Root Vortex, so I'm afraid I need an open body-"

Aozaki Orange extinguished the cigarette and said as if she didn't care.

"The reason why the inhibition is so desperate to prevent man from going to that path is because it is a power that man cannot attain and that belongs to the Creator, and this action is also the cause of the return to nothingness."

Want to open the way to the roots? It's a no-brainer, because it's something that all orthodox magicians dream of, but what exactly does it take to succeed?

Theoretically, there are not no ways to reach the root, in fact, there are many, whether it is the Holy Grail War made up by the three families of Dongmu City, or the Taiji Jialan tossed by the Huangye Zonglian of Guanbuzi City.

In theory, it is possible to open the way to the roots, but in practice it is never possible to succeed, at least Aozaki Orange does not think that it has any chance of success.

Aruba whispered angrily, "It's a perfect place!" With such an otherworld, the laws of matter in the outside world can be cut off. In preparation for opening that passage, we've been investigating for a long time, Aosaki. ”

“……”

“……”

"Heh, so what? This building can indeed open the road, because this is the embodiment of the Taiji diagram, so the road will definitely open, and this is a matter of course......"

The puppeteer's eyes narrowed, and there was a clear sarcasm in his amber eyes.

"But the first thing that will emerge from that path will only be the guardian of the primate. Since we exist as egos, we can never overcome that thing. ”

That's right, know that magicians are human beings first and magicians second. The former is the race, the latter is the profession.

And human beings undoubtedly exist in this world as the primate of this world, because of this natural fact, so there is absolutely no chance of winning in the face of that thing.

This is not a hot-blooded royal comic, everyone gritted their teeth and exploded, reminiscing about killing a few times to increase love and bonding.

Then, the echo of true love can solve all problems, and the power of remorse can overcome all strong enemies.

The brutal truth is that no one can open the way without alarming the inhibition force, and no one can fool that thing. Even if you find a way to defeat the inhibition force, that thing will still appear with more power.

Magicians are not naïve, it's just that everyone is so tragic, after all, the pursuit of magic itself is to turn the "impossible" into reality.

The reason why there is a disagreement between Aozaki Orange and Araya Soren is only because the former acknowledges the reality while the latter does not, and it is only a small but decisive difference.

"And the embodiment of the Taiji diagram will definitely not be your idea, right? You're simply underwhelming, so there's nothing to brag about. ”

Aozaki Orange waved her hand disapprovingly, then turned her head to look around again, no longer caring about the magician in red, or rather she never cared.

So—

"You're always like that!"

The evaluation she gave seemed to be words piercing into her heart, making the red-clothed magician's body tremble slightly, and he raised his head with all his might, looking at her with murderous eyes as if he was about to cry.

"That's right, you're always like this, always underestimating me like this."

"Huh? What stupid thing are you talking about, is it a loss of blood and delirium? Aozaki Orange turned her head a little inexplicably, and at the same time felt that the man's eyes were a little disgusting.

"I specialize in Lun writing first, and I got the reputation of a puppeteer first, obviously it's all the same, but your attitude has deceived those imbeciles. Your attitude of belittling me has made those guys think I'm inferior. ”

It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, and his hatred of the other party couldn't figure out what the reason was, so Aruba began to shout angrily-

"Just think about it! I'm the next abbot of Schuppenheim Abbey! I've been studying magic for over 40 years, so why should I be ranked behind a girl in her twenties......"

I don't know where the strength of the dying body comes from, and with a tearing, sharp voice, his words are so fierce that they resound through the air around him.

The research goals of the association overlapped with Aozaki oranges, but oranges came behind in both aspects. For Aruba, who is quite fame-conscious, Orange's ability to override him and his attitude of underestimating him is intolerable.

So, that's why he killed the other party.

That's right, why is this happening?

I came first, obviously I came first, whether it was studying Norse ancient scripts or studying the magic concept of human imitation...... But why is this happening?!

"Although there is no beginning or end to what you said, I don't really understand what you are talking about...... But now I have an inexplicable urge to kill you. ”

The puppeteer sighed and calmly gave his final evaluation: "Learning has nothing to do with age, Aruba. Although you look young on the outside, you always only pay attention to your appearance, so you can't catch up on the inside. ”

The orange magician said this with a wicked smile, and there was no more provocative insult than this.

When the young man over fifty heard this, his beautiful face suddenly distorted with disgust.

But he no longer had a trace of vitality, and his vitality and strength quickly passed away from his broken body, and now there was not much left, and anger and resentment made him persist in the world for a while.

But willpower is not omnipotent, anger and hatred obviously can't make him die of anger, after all, no one adds him the buff of "Battle Continuation".

Including Aozaki Orange, even Fujino Asagami and Kuroki Kanya, who had been silent, just silently watched the man's head hang down weakly, and then there was no more sound.

"Let's go—"

Aozaki sighed, turned around and walked back to the apartment building. "Hopefully we can catch up."

……

……

At the same time, inside Ogawa's apartment-

It was viscous darkness, like an inkwell that had been accidentally knocked over.

Dense figures poured out of the open doors, all crowded into the hallway, and swarmed towards the two ceremonies. Such a crowd of people seems to absorb all the light.

Covering the light, cutting away hope, making people feel that there is no light in sight.

The light of the electric lights coming out of the hall could only be barely seen here, and the rest was completely obscured by the dense swaying figures in the hallway.

Only in the depths of darkness, heavy footsteps sounded incessantly, vibrating the eardrum and making people feel a little nauseous.

Among those people who poured over, it can be said that there are both men and women, young and old, age and gender seem to have no effect on them, and the only common point is numbness -

That's right, numbness. Because there was no expression on their faces, there was a sense of danger in their empty sight, and they were all like puppets manipulated by silk threads, and there was no precursor to action.

One, two, three, four...... It's like an endless stream of walking dead, and the residents of the apartments who pour into the corridors from their rooms are killing them like they're dancing stiffly.

Then, he was easily killed one by one by the ancient knife held by the kimono girl.

Soon, the hallway was full of corpses, but the residents still poured in with empty expressions, and they were crowded in dense, and the two ceremonies could only frown and fight and retreat.

As I said before, there is no smell of people in this apartment, because ...... The living are gone.

These guys aren't human, they've died an unknown number of times. This kind of thing is neither human nor dead, but just a puppet. It's disgusting that everybody wants to die.

With a rare expression full of hatred, the kimono girl quickly retreated.

The stamina was drained faster than expected, as the enemies seemed to be endless.

The two ceremonies controlled the rhythm of their breathing as much as possible, and the nine-character combination in their hands never stopped, but no matter how many they killed, the enemy didn't even splash blood, so they were not human.

Because of the fact that they saw the "Raiders" in advance with the help of Cangmi Liuxia's future vision, the two ceremonies knew very well what kind of ghosts the residents in each room had become now-

They were all corpses, some of them for a long time, basically a filthy human skeleton, and something like flesh that was slightly attached to them.

The muddy, rotting flesh flowed onto the floor of the room, piling up into a garbage heap of unknown things.

That kind of scene is not to say that R18, R21 has no way to pass the review, unless using techniques such as holy light or mosaic. It's just that the human eye itself can't be coded synchronously, and the two ceremonies don't want to see it with their own eyes.

It's just that Araya Zonglian obviously doesn't think so, he just wants to consume all the girl's physical strength as much as possible and reduce any risk of his own failure.

So as the girl was alone as she explored the top floor, the doors of every room on each floor opened silently, and the darkness flowed out.

And so this is the situation.

After all, these were originally one of the means prepared by Araya Zonglian, and even if they were left there and not used, the interest would not be calculated.

Besides, even if he felt that he had an advantage, but against the Eyes of the Straight Death of the last two rituals, no magician dared to say that he was completely sure.

- "As long as it's a living thing, even a god will kill you!" ”

Unless it is really lifeless and dead, there is no concept of natural extinction, and it is absolutely incomprehensible to mortals. Otherwise, even if the magician comes, it will be the end of a child.

Either it's too strong to be understood, or it's absolutely impossible to be hacked.

It's a pity that there is no hope for the former for the time being, and although he is sure of the latter, he is not absolutely sure.

Otherwise, this apartment is equivalent to the inherent barrier he built artificially, why does he still need to let Aruba lure away Aozaki Orange with such a home field advantage?

This monk, who has lived for more than 200 years, has an absolutely firm will, will not be easily disturbed by external objects, and will never produce any unnecessary emotional thoughts.

To put it simply, he has full confidence in himself, but in the face of the goal he has pursued for two hundred years, he will still choose a more "rational" approach.

It's good to have faith, but he won't wave, but will focus more on the enemy.

Many people feel that their wave is stable, so they start all kinds of waves, and as a result, at the critical moment of imminent success or when they have an advantage, they are so hard to overturn in the gutter.

But Araya Zonglian would never make such a mistake, in fact, the closer he got to his goal, the more cautious he would be, which was inevitable.

Because, this is not his first attempt. Although all the previous methods failed, he can say that he has done everything he can, and the reason for the failure is not his own.
