CHAPTER VII. Lucifer

The floor under his feet was shaking gently, and although the room was well muffled, the atmosphere of anxiety still seeped in from outside the door, making the people sitting around the humble conference table feel depressed. Of course, this is not an ordinary building facility, but a warship sailing on the ocean, or rather, a flagship.

This large warship, which is called "aircraft carrier" in the military field, is now covered with different flags, fighters of different styles are hovering over it, and there are several unusually complete escort formations composed of ten warships in the nearby waters.

"B-2, you're a little faster, keep your formation in shape. Standing on the deck with a frown, Hayato complained to the walkie-talkie, "Even if it's a few centimeters apart, because the position of the 'element' has changed, the defense technique composed of the entire fleet may be scrapped." So you all pay attention, can't you?"

On the other side of the intercom came the sound of an order to adjust the speed of the voyage, and a clear voice was constantly apologizing to the spiritual symbol of the shield of justice.

After leaving Hongchuan, Hayato was stationed directly in the Australian branch, and due to the special status of the marshal of the Australian branch, he had to go there himself so that the reconstruction work could be carried out smoothly. However, it didn't take long for a group of people to come uninvited, and after a lot of speeches, they "invited" him to serve as a spell advisor, which was actually equivalent to finding a security guard for the group of people in the battleship.

"Head of State...... I still haven't recognized the current situation. ”

"That's right, it's just a bunch of rotten people. A slow, hoarse voice like a breathless voice came from behind Hayato into his ears, and at some point, there was another person on the otherwise empty deck.

Hayato turned to look at the man in front of him, who was leaning on a wooden staff to support his body, and leaned forward slightly, but he didn't look like he wanted to talk to him.

At first glance, this person can be said to have half a foot in the coffin, but if you look closely, you will find that his breathing and pace are unusually regular, and even the light around him is soft and unnatural.

"Do you still remember what happened back then?" or do you still hold a grudge?" the old man snorted softly as he spoke, and the wooden staff made a crisp sound when it clicked on the deck, and before the sound dissipated, there was no trace of him on the deck, leaving only a sentence that echoed in Hayato's ears, "The great enemy of mankind does not care about you at the moment, if you have a life to live until the end of the day, you can only come if you have any grievances." ”

Hayato smiled noncommittally, bowed to the empty deck, and said, "Master teaches, students keep it in mind!"

Tsuchigomon Hikatsu, even if the other party has recently become so old, this name Hayato will never forget, and the obsession with this name will not change either. In fact, Hayato used to be a member of the Onmyojuku, a local exorcist organization in Toei, and Hikari, who was in the prime of life at the time, was his division commander.

Hayato's potential was very famous among his peers throughout the Onmyojuku, because he usually wore only a wooden sword when he exorcized, so some people even jokingly called him a wooden swordsman at the time, and as his teacher, Hikari was famous among his peers, and his courage and decisiveness, accurate judgment and skillful use of the "Tengu Sutra" made him an exorcist who lived up to expectations at the time.

Of course, the combination of teachers and students of these two people also shocked one side at the time, and many confidential tasks within the Yinyang Juku were entrusted to them to complete.

However, the good times were short-lived. In another mission, due to the misjudgment of the light, only two of the dozen or so people who went to exorcism together came back alive. But the difference is that Hayato relies on his unusual calmness and extreme exorcism spells, while Hikari relies on his own students as bait and spell props.

"An elder who does not save himself when he sees death is a sinner who kills his descendants. Not to mention ......"

Hayato muttered to himself, looking at the endless sea for a long time. The sound of waves in his ears was disturbing to listen to as if he was aesthetically fatigued, Hayato snorted lightly and raised his hand to take out a cigar to light himself, and the heavy smoke was inhaled into his lungs, turning into a low, long sigh and slowly exhaled......

He didn't know that unlike himself, who was caught up in his memories, a table of people in the conference room dozens of meters away was arguing about the future.

"The Chinese Federation will not make any more assistance to you, after all, we are the main battlefield of this war!"

"But our capital has been razed to the ground, and the Chinese Federation, as the second largest government in the world, is it going to sit idly by?"

"Wait a minute, we in the United European States deserve the help of your big groups, after all, some of our countries here have been wiped off the map. ”

"Do you mean the Vatican? If you want to find assistance, go to the Chinese Federation, anyway, you are close. ”

"American, are you shirking your responsibilities?"

Looking at the crowd arguing around the table, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties sitting in the doorway burst out laughing. Raising his face slightly with a hint of contempt, he glanced at the strangers in the conference room who had been famous and shocked, and chuckled: "Are you still children, arguing around is like playing monkeys." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent, or rather after the sound of a gun.

At this moment, the guards beside these leaders took out their guns and pointed at the young man who was sitting leisurely on the ground leaning against the door.

In fact, his appearance is leisurely and does not explain his attitude towards the current situation: leaning against the open iron door, one leg half-bent, one leg raised high on the opposite door frame, two hands hanging at the sides of the body as if they were powerless, and the uncomfortable thing is that the palms are facing up.

Although he looked young, his hair was as pure white as ice and snow, and even his skin showed a sickly whiteness, and it made people feel uncoordinated, his figure was unusually thin, and he looked at least 1.8 meters tall but probably weighed less than 80 kilograms.

"Dressed in civilian clothes and without a work nameplate, what is this person's identity? Could it be an exorcist? But even if he is an exorcist, when did he appear here? The level of secrecy of the meeting here clearly does not allow anyone to intervene. The young man spoke slowly, raised his hand and played with the ends of his hair twice in the nervous expressions of everyone, and then slowly drooped down, "Your ideas are really naΓ―ve. Strictly speaking, I'm not an exorcist. ”

"Kill him. ”

A burst of gunfire rang out, but it didn't attract much attention. It's the sea, after all, and the sound of the wind and waves is noisier than these gunshots.

"What a madman. If he said he was an exorcist, I wouldn't dare ask my subordinates to shoot. Let's get on with the meeting. The chubby man who had just given the order to shoot said as he collected the meeting materials in front of him, but it was strange that no one spoke at this moment. The others seemed to be looking at themselves, and that look was like they were seeing something terrible, "Hey...... Wouldn't it?"

"Maybe that's the possibility?" the young man's voice came from behind the middle-aged man unexpectedly, and when he turned around in shock, he saw a pair of red eyes as clear as red crystals. Looking at the middle-aged man who was trembling with fright, he covered his forehead and seemed to laugh heartily, "I'm scared, I'm scared!"

Some people involuntarily moved their eyes to the door, only to find that the door was tightly closed at this moment, but there were more than a dozen bullet marks engraved on the door.

"Then let me introduce you. The young man laughed for a long time and finally stopped. As he spoke, he sat down unceremoniously at the conference table, perhaps feeling too tired, so he simply took a dozen other people's conference materials and put them behind his head, and actually lay down like this, "I'm named Lucifer." ”

On the deck, Hikari reappeared next to Hayato again, and this time it seemed to be quite reluctant.

"If you have anything to say, say it quickly, how can people who are dying of old age still be the same as before. Hayato smoked impatiently, but was extremely careful to bind all the smoke out of the reach of the light with the power of the Soul Control Silver Lock, and although he hated this man who had used and abandoned his companions to survive, there was no doubt that he was his own teacher, even if it was only once.

"This ship...... No, the whole fleet is not quite right. With a sudden force on his arm, he climbed directly on the wooden staff with his legs crossed, and stood firmly in the fierce sea breeze with a wooden staff, "I suspect that someone has cast an illusion." ”

"What are you kidding, are you old and confused? If you are old and confused, can I ask for you to die a decent death before Alzheimer's?"

"The gray-haired imp is just as bad as ever. Light didn't mind the difference in their identities at all, but there was a sense of intimacy when they spoke.

"Let's not talk about it for now, if anyone's illusion can fool this guy......" Hayato chuckled twice and shook the silver soul control lock in his hand, apparently intending to call out the soul grief. However, the next moment, the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat and could not be spoken, because at this moment, he suddenly found that his connection with the soul grief had become extremely subtle, as if a transparent veil had been separated between the two of them.

"Just ...... What seas did we just pass through?" Hayato said word by word, suddenly remembering the complete destruction of the Vatican. If you pass through a certain sea area where some monster is sealed, because of the dissipation of the power of faith, the ancient seal may also be broken. And......

Thinking of this, he looked around, the area of the entire fleet was comparable to the largest island of the Chinese Federation, and at the same time, applying high-intensity illusions to such a wide range of fields, no matter how you look at it, it is not something that humans can do.

"The ...... you just passed by. Sea Solomon. ”
