Chapter 16: The Hunt Mission
(Are you not going to vote if I don't ask for votes?) You unconscious fools (β―"β‘β²)β―(β»ββ»)
ββββββββββββββ
The souls of the dead who wander in the world, the spirits who die but do not want to die.
Hospitals will always be a place where this kind of thing comes together.
It is precisely because of the loss of their bodies that they understand the beauty of life and are more eager to return to that ordinary daily life.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The rune array has been breached."
When Nanaya came to the outside of the hospital, Orange, who was smoking a cigarette, looked up and said this to him.
Slightly stunned, the boy glanced back at the dark hospital.
"Those things, can break through the rune array you have planted?"
"No way." Orange clasped his hands on his chest and looked up at the room of the two ceremonies, "But the rune array I laid down is only used to block the spirits. β
"So they were smart enough to find a corpse that had just died and broke through?"
"That's probably it."
ββ¦β¦β
Nanaya didn't speak again, but like Orange, he clasped his hands to his chest and stood here quietly waiting for the reaction from above.
"You're so confident that she won't choose death?"
"Of course ......"
Qiye lowered his head with a smile and said lightly: "Because only those who have really died will understand the beauty of life better." β
The boy is talking about two rituals, and he is also talking about himself.
He's really similar to the two ceremonies.
So the boy can be 100% sure that the other party will not die like this.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, teacher."
"Huh?" Orange turned to look at him.
"Let her vent well," Nanaya put his hands in his pockets and walked in one direction, "I'll take care of it...... Those bugs that are snooping in the shadows. β
Some people are starting to move again.
Nanaya knew what they were spying on.
But I'm sorry, the two ceremonies...... It was a chess piece he fancied.
Nothing else is allowed to get involved!
With light steps, Qiye walked on the rain-soaked grass, with his head down, seemingly aimless, but following one direction.
Now the time is close to the early hours of the morning, and it is only a short time before dawn.
This time period is the most sleepy time for normal people.
The streets were deserted, as quiet as a hospital morgue.
Nanaya raised his head and looked ahead.
Over there, a prostrate figure squatted in the corner, head up and down, making strange movements.
"......" Qiye's brows furrowed slightly.
Things were a little bit unexpected for him.
He made a lot of preparations, and he didn't expect that what appeared in front of his eyes would be such an existence.
"Ghoulsβ"
Three words were softly spat out in his mouth, and the light in Qiye's eyes flashed slightly.
No wonder the exorcism blood in the body will churn violently, it turns out that this kind of non-human thing has appeared.
But...... Why are ghouls here?
"Hmm-" As if noticing his gaze, the figure over there raised its head.
A slightly distorted face was stained with minced flesh and blood.
Lost his mind and turned red, his eyes stared at the seven nights over there.
"A ghoul who doesn't even have a sane mind dares to show his fangs at me?"
Nanaya raised his eyebrows, looking at the ghoul who pounced on him like a wild dog smelling bones, and the boy sneered.
I don't know when it has appeared in my hands.
The blade was slightly slanted, and Qiye stood motionless in place.
Call~!
With a gust of wind, the ghoul crashed into his body, but without the slightest hindrance, it directly penetrated the past.
A line of blood appeared on the other party's neck.
Qiye's figure appeared from the other side, and he glanced at it indifferently.
With a gentle flick, he shook off the blood stains on the nine-character set in his hand and took it back.
Puff~Grunt~
A head stained with blood and flesh rolled at his feet, his blood-red eyes wide open, still retaining his previous emotions.
Death came so suddenly that the ghoul couldn't react at all.
Ignoring this, Nanaya took out the notebook that had been kept in his personal space and turned to the second page.
'Mode β Hunt Mission. β
'SceneβThe Realm of Emptiness. β
'ExecutionerβSeven Nights. β
'Prey - Yoshikage Watanabe. β
'Reason for the hunt - mission failure, obliteration. β
'The goal of the executioner is to destroy the prey. β
'The target of the prey - to escape the pursuit of the executioner. β
'Reward - 50,000 Hunt Points. β
ββ¦β¦β
Next is a basic introduction to the prey, Nanaya glanced at it and closed the notebook.
Things were a little unexpected...... But that's okay, that's what makes it more interesting, isn't it?
With his hands on his chest, Nanaya's face showed an interested smile.
"Is it a Dead Apostle?"
Orange doesn't know when she came to Nanaya's side.
Nanaya glanced at her and nodded slightly.
"The strength is close to the 'ancestor', even if you still have a good relationship with a certain Dead Apostle ancestor?" Orange looked at the contents on it and was a little surprised.
Nanaya smiled: "Since you can get the bloodline of the Dead Apostle, then the other party must have come to this world." The strength is close to the ancestor, which means that the one who turned it into a Dead Apostle has extremely high strength, which is normal, and there is nothing surprising about it. β
Orange glanced at Qiye: "Don't say it so plainly, that's 'Ancestor', the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, none of them are easy to deal with." β
"For us, that's true."
Nanaya nodded approvingly.
He is not the one who will meet the princess in the future.
If he was at that time, he could at least guarantee that the Ancestor of the Apostles, who was on the side of the princess, would not come over to find trouble without opening his eyes.
But now......
"The information in the notebook is absolutely accurate, so it basically excludes most people."
"Mostly?" Orange looked at Nanaya suspiciously.
As for the Dead Apostles' understanding, the human form makes it impossible for nature to compare to someone who has crossed over.
"Those who were sealed by the church naturally can't appear, it's even more unlikely that they are not vampires but are listed in the twenty-seven ancestors because of their threat, the black princess is seriously injured, and together with those few, they are being hunted down by the templar church at the moment, if they come, the movement can't be so small, as for the white princess......"
Nanaya shrugged: "Impossible. β
"Why is it impossible for the White Princess?"
"Well, the reason is not easy to explain, anyway, it can't be."
The boy waved his hand, interrupting Orange's desire to continue asking, "How is Shiki's over there?" β
The corners of Orange's mouth twitched, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the character of Seven Nights, which said half and left half and half left.
"As you think, she's already made her decision."
"Oh-"
Qiye thought for a while: "When she is well, take her to Jialan Hall, and ...... Try not to let Kuroki touch her. β
"Do you feel a crisis too?" Orange suddenly felt a little funny.
Qiye turned his head and waved his hand casually: "Shiki's current state of emptiness is the most susceptible to the influence of external objects - don't let that mother-in-law's guy get close to him." β
"I don't want it to be like that."
