Exorcist
The lights of the distant city are gone.
It was as if there had never been anything there, a chaotic black, a black that spread like a sandstorm, a black that swallowed up all light.
Kuroki Dust, from Fuso in the Far East, stood by the glass porthole of the giant steam airship, watching the black mist rise from the other side.
"Mr. Kuroki......" a waiter hurried from the corridor at the end of the airship, "Her Majesty ordered us to stay away from the window...... Now, the airship is heading back!"
"Well, got it. Kuroki Yangchen looked sideways at the waiter behind him and grinned slightly, "I want to see there again." ”
The waiter was a little dazed, in his eyes, this Oriental from Fusang, Dongying, always had an indescribable weird feeling.
With braids like a waterfall, and carrying two sharp * on his back all day long, he has the right to enter the palace with a knife even when he meets the queen, and he is incompatible with others in terms of dress and personality.
"Okay. The waiter nodded, "Then I have to go back to serve Her Majesty." He bowed and hurried back to the cabin.
Only Kuroki Dust was left standing in place.
"Is that so?" he muttered to himself, placing his long, bony hand on the red handle of the knife behind his back*, "It's the call of hell, but why ......?"
The steam airship emblazoned with the three-headed dragon emblem of the United Kingdom turned around in a clumsy and slow way, the spinning turbine engines emitted a shrill noise, and the words of the herald were broadcast on the cabin radio.
"Please stop the dance in the hall for the time being, the Red Dragon airship has encountered a strong air current, and it may be a little bumpy. Her Majesty the Queen ordered the Red Dragon to temporarily dock at the nearby West Rail Town, and I ask for your understanding!"
The orchestral and piano sounds in the ball hall came to an abrupt halt, and several aristocratic men and women in evening dresses drunkenly pushed open the door and staggered to the edge of the corridor.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing......" A fat lady leaned against the window with a lace skirt, pressed her graceful face against the glass porthole, and squeezed her face into a ball of fat, "The dark clouds over there are so big." Is a storm coming?"
"Yes, ma'am, the storm is coming. ”
The noblewoman heard a muffled voice beside her, and she turned her face to look at the man who had spoken rudely.
"Who are you?" asked the noblewoman unceremoniously, with a straight face, "is it your turn to speak, Oriental?"
"Oh. Since I'm not welcome, I'll go down. Kuroki Dust suddenly unsheathed, and the blade rubbed fierce sparks in the scabbard.
"Go, go, go...... I don't want to see you deliberately talk to a young man!" The fat lady waved her hand impatiently, and took out a gold-rimmed mirror with her pig-like fat hand and became self-intoxicated, "I know I'm beautiful, and many people want to talk to me, but it's not your turn." ”
"Okay, okay, as you wish. Kuroki Dusty smiled confidently.
A white afterimage flashed through the door of the noblewoman's face in the blink of an eye, and the latter's eyes widened, and the mirror fell to the ground, covering her mouth with her white-gloved hand.
- Click!
The black wood dust shredded the special glass of the airship with a single sword, and the shallow knife marks were all over the surface of the glass.
- Boom!
The mirror fell to the ground, and the lens shattered in half. The special glass burst out in an instant, and countless pieces of glass ballast flew outward and fell hundreds of meters into the air.
"You!" the fat lady was speechless for a long time, and her small eyes, which were almost narrowed together, were now terrifyingly large.
"I'll go down now, and I'll see you again. Kuroki stepped on the edge of the glass window, and the long wind that seeped out blew his haori backwards, and the noble lady saw a black oriental dragon pattern on the churning haori, "Well, there's a lake down there, and it's just right." ”
The dragon seemed to dance in the wind, ready to hunt.
"Hey, you're really going down!" the lady came to her senses, "what's your name, wait......"
"Fuso's exorcist, Kuroki Dust. He smiled, sheathed his knife, and flipped it down.
"Hey!" the lady threw herself to the window, the wind blowing her curls all over the place, "You're qualified, you can talk to me......!"
There was a high splash on the surface of the lake, and the waves that stirred up the boats docked on the lake swayed.
- Fortunately, the water is not too deep. So, how do you get in there?
The entire city was shrouded in a black mist of unknown color. According to ancient scriptures in the East and West, this is a strange phenomenon known as the "call of hell."
When sin rules the world, demons will come into being.
However, it should not be so serious, and sin rules the world?
Then there is another possibility, someone has angered the devil of hell. Or, a deal was made with the devil.
In short, the call of hell...... It definitely won't be that simple. The last time it happened, it was almost a thousand years ago, right?
At that time, humans used cold swords to fight against demons. And this time, the world has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and the promotion of magic steam has made mankind have cities made of steel.
Trains, airships, steamships, and even the Western Demon Hunting Order have used steam-powered metal armor......
The demons that remain in the world are almost extinct, and the sovereigns have long outweighed their interest in the war between humans over their interest in demons.
Kuroki brushed his long slippery hair, and a liquid from his forehead that he didn't know if it was lake water or sweat.
However, people still do not know the secret of the birth of demons.
What exactly does the call of hell mean this time?
"Wait, that's?!" Kuroki Dusty rubbed his eyes and looked at the large bell tower standing in the city.
It was a huge black arm, twisting and dancing flames burning at the edge of the giant hand, dark dust flying around the bell tower.
The hand gripped the bell tower tightly, and a dull chime rang in the night. It's like a wake-up call, or a prelude to an ancient wail, rhythmic, poignant.
"Are you warning people, but what is that?" Kuroki remembered clearly, and there was no record of this situation in the ancient books.
Looks like we have to go over and take a look.
Kuroki wasn't sure if it was appropriate to go it alone, but he had no choice.
"Hey, are you going to Elbe?" a fisherman sitting in a boat suddenly stopped him, and Kuroki Dust stopped, he had no idea of the fisherman's presence before.
"Yes, how?"
The fisherman smiled and threw the line of his rod into the middle of the lake, "I suggest you don't mess with that thing." ”
Kuroki's heart suddenly beat violently, "Why ......"
"Because, you might die, Oriental. ”
