Chapter 11: Devil May Cry Reincarnation (4)
[4. Onmyoji (I)]
"Cedar!" Sun Rin came to his senses when he heard Alicia's scream change of tone.
How so...... He hesitated and wanted to continue to sway among the many forces, but he could only know that Yakushi Temple had murderous intent towards his friends and could not do anything!
"Ah Dai?" Shocked by the shoulders grabbed and shaken, Sun Rin's eyes finally appeared in front of Han Feng's face, "What's wrong with you?
"To Cedar, Yakushiji is there!" Sun Rin shouted as he switched the communicator, "Did you hear that? Go back to Cedar!" Harden, do you hear me?"
"I hear you!" Harden replied hurriedly, and the cacophon of space jumping came from the messenger, "(Alicia!) Don't cut the contact! I'll go back, don't you stop!
"How's the cedar!" understood the reason, but Sun Rin still asked while trying to drive the space array, because he was nervous, he couldn't jump because he failed to calculate, "Damn!"
"Don't panic," Abel, who also heard the communication, anxiously reassured him, "Cedar is fine!"
I hope he's okay...... Sun Rin listened wordlessly to the movement in the messenger, and Harden was asking Alicia who witnessed the scene-
"What's going on?"
"I don't know...... When she turned around, the girl was holding Cedar......" Alicia's voice trembled, "Cedar just fell on her shoulder, his skin—"
"Calm down, what's wrong with Zhou Zhou?" Even after countless ruthless disasters, Harden's voice revealed a strong sense of unease.
"Taken away, he became a dry ......" Alicia changed the description with difficulty, "he looks like he's been sucked dry!"
"Leech technique!" Herb Yao Ying blurted out in shock when she heard the description, Sun Rin could imagine her suddenly gray face, "That's the killing technique of the crazy bones, he can always kill people like that-"
"Leech-like......" Harden reacted suddenly, "Vampire?"
"General...... It's too late, now—" Phytoaki didn't continue, "it's our fault...... General, he's still too kind......"
"He killed Cedar?" the quick-talking Ivan tried to confirm.
"What are you talking about? impossible!" Zhaohua immediately changed his tone, "That person took him away......, didn't he?
"Not necessarily!" said Abel exclaimed, "and the other party took Cedar...... That's how I was able to find him, in the TV Tower!"
"TV Tower?" Sun Rin couldn't help but look up, the height second only to the palace was the 650m tallest tower in the Blue World, the Arcane TV Tower, daring to invade the Yakushi Temple there was obviously going to do something shocking.
"Chase!" Harden categorically ordered, "Selie, your group plus Atayal, Han Feng and Ah Dai continue to destroy the object, Bobo joins our two groups to bring people back, let's act!"
"Wait," Sun Rin immediately spoke, "Yakushi Temple is very strong, I'll go with you!"
“...... Brother?" Seli's hesitant voice came from the communication note - it should be said that everyone understands, even if Harden is anxious, he takes into account his embarrassing identity, and does not let himself go to the Yakushi Temple in order to give himself a chance to avoid further collision with the star general's forces, and if he is on the periphery, he still has a way to deal with Marina-
Sun Rin gritted his teeth and insisted: "I still talked to Cedar when he had an accident, and he comforted me and said that I was fine, and I also hoped that he was okay." “
"Ah Dai, I didn't ask much because I believed in you before—or I wanted to avoid this question, but that Yakushi Temple is a person from the Star General's side, right?" Harden paused for a moment, and his tone sank a little, "He must have some plan to find you alone, so what are you going to do?
Finally, I was asked head-on...... Sun Rin bit his lip, then looked up at the tower: "I'll attack it with you." ”
"Meet in front of the TV tower. Needless to say, Harden succinctly instructed, "Go your separate ways!"
"Let's go!" Abel nodded to Sun Rin and sped towards the tower by the river.
"If the enchantment is centered on the mall, then almost half of the area will be affected, and it is impossible for the headquarters not to be aware of it, right?" he asked as he ran.
"I guess the headquarters already knows, reinforcements should be coming soon......" Sun Rin also believed that the headquarters would make a move, "We also notified Clio, didn't we?"
Hopefully, reinforcements will arrive soon, Sun Rin intuitively thinks that Yakushiji Temple is not an existence they can deal with. They met Harden on the riverside boulevard, and everybody's face was terrible.
"Water-friendly youkai," Harden sneered as he surveyed the tower shrouded in clouds, "so you chose the commanding heights by the river?"
At this moment, there are still quite a lot of tourists in the TV tower, and the glass curtain walls of the last few floors are densely packed with people shouting for help, this terrifying scene is like a group of hellish ghosts crying out for salvation.
"This ......," Abel exclaimed in a low voice, his expression becoming more anxious.
"Our goal is to save people and kill the enemy, no doubt, right?" asked Harden unwaveringly, "and confirm that Zhou Zhou's safety comes first, and that he is an ability that cannot be exploited." “
"Understood, we need to find his exact location," Abel unleashed countless pale golden tactile threads into the tower, "I can't be completely sure, is Xiao Er here?"
"He's not here, he's gone since just now!I don't know where he is when he ignores me!" Wan Qiyi replied anxiously, "He may have also seen the scene of Cedar being taken away, his ability is not easy to attack, maybe he has followed?"
"Now I can only rely on you, Bobo, I'll attack-" Harden said and turned his head to look at Sun Rin, his cold face showed a slight smile, "Ah Dai, attack together?"
Looking up at the spire in the dark clouds from the bottom of the tower, there was a sense of contempt and pressure, and Sun Rin exhaled fiercely: "Hmm." ”
"And I-" Ellie looked rather remorseful.
"The crowd will leave you to evacuate, and then be ready for 100,000 volts at any time, and we will leave you a chance to crit," Harden nodded at her, "You're upset too, aren't you?"
They were just about to act, but the huge screen behind them playing images on the other side of the river suddenly played a loud and cheerful music, which made them turn their heads to look there—
"Welcome to today's special!"
“...... Wu Anya!" Ellie trembled slightly with anger as the screen gave them several close-up interview frames.
"Today's real-life zombie battle royale is very exciting, right?" Wu Anya, who was stroking the skull with one hand, smiled sweetly even more presumptuously, "But this kind of show really needs some close-up protagonists, right?
The camera suddenly zoomed in, and Harden's fierce and suppressed sneering face was magnified-
"It seems that this is the leader of the heroes, do you have anything to say?" Wu Anya asked, tilting her head and smiling, her golden eyes shining with excitement.
In other words, he would probably have a few sarcastic words, but Harden just sneered and forced the screen, which was a bird of prey: "You clown who is still complacent when you are used, let your master wait." ”
He turned his head to look at Abel, and when he saw Abel nodding, he shook off his coat and looked at the floor where the thousands of tactile filaments on the tower converged—
The picture of the high-end Western restaurant on the screen was suddenly occupied by tens of millions of golden threads, and at this time, Harden had already flapped his wings into the sky, and when he watched it again, he had already entered the video scene with Sun Rin through the window, and Wu Anya, who was entangled in tactile silk, was just able to avoid his slash!
"You-"
"Surprised, surprised?" Harden said coldly, and the sharp slash made Wu Anya powerless to fight back! But Wu Anya dodged a few steps in embarrassment and suddenly disappeared into a cloud of smoke!
The screen switched to another luxury restaurant, Sun Rin frowned and looked at the TV screen on the wall, Wu Anya, who emerged from the green smoke, patted her torn skirt regretfully and greeted the camera sweetly again: "It's really thrilling, but our hero missed the opportunity...... Are you ready for my revenge?"
She looked directly at the screen with pleasure, and then asked crisply, "I'm afraid you don't know how the highest-ranking healer in the new class of Heavenly Punisher trainees is a child with fine skin and tender flesh, right......? My boss, Yakushiji-kun, suggested that we cook and eat him with dried blood, and it just so happens that the food show is already being filmed here, so let's get started, Yakushi-ji-kun?"
What? Originally, I came by luck, but when I heard this, both Ellie and Sun Rin trembled in their hearts—
"Cedar ...... Dead?" Sun Rin muttered to himself, but then shook his head resolutely, "No, he's—"
But after the camera turned slightly, Wu Anya sat opposite ...... The dried corpse with his head down, judging from his hairstyle and clothes, is undoubtedly a cedar!
At this time, it was undoubtedly more ironic to give a close-up of Alicia's blue face, but Wu Anya then laughed again: "Just kidding, it's not good to eat like this, and he's still useful to Yakushi Temple, right?"
...... On which level? Compared to thinking about anything else, everyone's only thought now is this, right? Sun Rin doesn't want to believe that it is the truth, everything happened too suddenly!
"We all know that magicians will have the ability to use some magic even if they turn into zombies, so what kind of magic can the Heavenly Punisher in the third rank use after training life and death," Wu Anya raised her voice exaggeratedly, "Are you looking forward to it?"
"Come, good boy, show your strength as a plant manipulator," she said softly like a child, leaving a vicious smile to everyone in front of the screen, her eyes shining with a dark golden cold light, "Let your friends see your horror-"
No...... The interview frame lined up with Sun Rin's stiff expressions, shattering all the luck was the countless giant vines that shook the city and cracked the ground, and the familiar but violent power was undoubtedly Cedar's!
"No, no, no...... What does he want to do with Cedar's body!Don't let him insult Cedar's talent!" Having already experienced the horror and powerlessness of a zombie siege, Abel is afraid of this kind of thing more than anyone else. His trembling voice was recorded and broadcast, to the delight of Wu Anya.
The tower whose foundation was shaken was shaking, and Harden couldn't help but dive down with Sun Rin without saying anything: "Alicia! What are you doing, save people!"
Ellie, who has recovered from the shock, finally unleashes her ability to destroy the wrong closing command of the security door at the bottom of the tower, and the tourists who swarm out scream as if they are scrambling to escape from hell, drowning her and Abel and the mother and daughter of Phytosaki in an instant!
"Oh, what a desperate spectacle, if the Thunder Magic Empire's famous Raiden Princess died in a crowd trampling, it would be really sensational and boring news. Wu Anya laughed and commented, but at this time, Sun Rin, who was caught by Harden, hurriedly used his black mist minions to accurately fish out Abel, and the mother and daughter of Zhiyao Shadow also protected Alicia and fell not far away.
"It's Cedar's—" Alicia whispered in a shaky voice, and Harden then roughly interrupted her—
"I know!" he repeated, looking angrily at the Tower of Hades, "I know!"
“...... Leave the evacuation to us. Zhi Yaoying spoke, her own cold demonic aura could somewhat calm down the frenzied crowd.
"Now we have to hold back the power of the cedars...... If you can still use your strength, there should still be hope for Cedar, right?" Sun Rin forcefully pulled the wildly spreading vines with his minions, and when he turned around to ask, he saw Harden with a calm face and did not say a word, "Harden?"
Harden uncharacteristically didn't respond, just kept a depressing look of thought.
What's going on...... Sun Rin continued to break the vines, and helped up an old gentleman who had fallen after running out. But the old gentleman grabbed his hand again and cried out loudly: "Aren't you Heavenly Punishers!"
It doesn't matter if it's usual, but at this moment, Sun Rin immediately became dry: "We all know it!"
After being murdered by him, he was somewhat sober, and the old gentleman wiped the blood on his face again, and his voice trembled: "I need treatment!"
"Please take a breath! It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but our partner who can heal you is still in there, teased by the enemy!" he didn't feel like himself when he spoke, but Sun Rin still yelled angrily. "The cedar has ...... It's all messed up, and we're -"
"No...... Even more painful is yet to come, we must take Cedar's body back!" Shocked but helpless, Abel clenched his fists.
"Sure enough, it's still inexperienced, it looks like it's all messed up?" Wu Anya was still laughing on the huge screen, and began to use chalk to draw unknown magic circle lines around the cedar, "And then how about making things even more terrifying!Brave men, do you really think that Komatsu's purification can remove the corpse poison?"
Could it be—Seeing the turbid purple magic fire chips flying out from every corner, Sun Rin could feel the evil qi that had been dispelled erupt again, and the expressions of the fleeing crowd in front of him instantly became numb and distorted-
"It's not a zombie this time, zombies who don't know magic can't keep up with our level-" In the wild shouts that surged at the same time, Wu Anya spun around briskly, "This is a possessed monster - a hundred ghosts walk at night!"
The deafening roar and laughter are exactly the same as those I heard in the "shrine" before, Yakushiji Temple has already opened the gate of the netherworld!
"Harden, did you see that?" Sensing that things were going to get even more terrifying, Sun Rin trembled angrily, "Brute, why the hell are you doing this!"
The rich and evil demonic aura was shaken back by the red plum fire glow, and a ghost crying wolf howl was also suppressed by Di Meng's roar containing dragon power, which made Sun Rin subconsciously look at his strongest partner and look at the calm burning eyes in the fire glow.
"Come to think of it," Harden began, "we're getting the rhythm." ”
"What?" This kind of Harden is clearly calmer than his usual self, and Sun Rin, who realized this, was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have calmed down a lot.
"Although we still let Sally and the others continue to destroy the illusion, we still haven't changed the status quo from the root......" Harden continued almost coldly in response to the blazing fire that was pressing down on this side, "The real opponent is not Wu Anya, but the 'Yakushi Temple' who deliberately did not show up, right? From intimidating you to taking Zhou Xuesong away, and then the tide of possessed demons that we don't know anything about, the troublesome things that the other party does seem to be to delay time. ”
I always felt like I would say it in my usual life, but I didn't expect it to be Harden who did it, Sun Rin smiled self-deprecatingly: "...... I thought you were a man as irascible as a dragon in wartime. ”
"It used to be, but now I don't know why, it seems that it will suddenly cool down after getting angry," Harden's eyes were still angry, but his expression was still cold, "I probably don't want to be used like before." ”
"But......" Whipping up a whirlwind and slapping away a few tourists with distorted faces, Phytosage disagreed, "Crazy Bone is a really capable monster, and he's not afraid to face anyone head-on-"
"It's possible," Zhi Yunhong said suddenly, "It's possible, he needs blood—the general's blood full of life!"
Zhi Yaoying was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her eyes: "Yes...... It takes time to absorb blood qi and transform it into mana, so he hasn't completed the transformation from dry bones to great demons, which is a weakness he can't avoid!"
"Very well, I should have asked you a long time ago," Harden smiled sharply, "you are the ones who know him best!"
"But—" Zhi Yunhong tilted his face uncertainly, it was not the posture of someone who could defeat a fierce enemy.
"It can be seen that you have a psychological shadow on him, but only you know better what to do!" Harden continued to toughen the approaching possessed demon, but because he couldn't hurt the tourists ruthlessly, the scorching Huoxia couldn't liberate his original strength after all, "You said he was a 'crazy bone', right? And Xiao Zhi is an onmyoji, you are a more professional soul purifier than Zhou Xuesong! All the possessed people here are only you can save them!"
"I ......" When she hesitated, Zhi Yunhong also waved her parasol to shake up a blue-blue ghost fire, and her face was sadly shaken by the swaying karmic fire.
"There's no time to be afraid, let's do it!" said Phytoaki and grabbed Yun Fei's shoulder, "Yun Fei, since he is an opponent of the vendetta, then use your determination to crush his plans!
"Tell us what to do," Harden also said strongly, "We will all cooperate with you, come on, get rid of the impure, and use the identity of Onmyoji!"
“...... I see!" Zhi Yunfei looked up at the tower and finally took a deep breath, "Although I have never really become an Onmyoji, you will definitely be able to make up for my omissions!
"Zhaozhao, come to the TV Tower. Harden immediately communicated, "Who else else is coming?"
"That's enough, don't stop the action around, and then I need you to make a magic weapon for me!" Zhiyun Fei, who looked at the burning ghost, his eyes were clear, although he was still in pain.
It was a bit unexpected, and Harden raised an eyebrow: "I hope you have the drawings." ”
"If there are things in the shrine, I can do them!" Sun Rin used his fog claw to slap a huge humanoid that had swelled more than ten times that of ordinary people, "I've seen it in the illusion, don't forget that my ability is 'Mind Transformation'!"
Zhi Yunhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded vigorously: "Please! The longer you are possessed, the more difficult it will be to deal with, let's try it-Crazy Bone, he is a demon! I can't lose anymore, I can't let him stay in the world!"
They have already lost too much time, and instead of indulging in grief and anger, it is better to spread out their anger with the clear sound of Kagura bells, and penetrate deep into the chaotic spirits of the hundred ghosts!
—
Preview: "Don't thank me, someone has to die." ”
"You're the one who is going to die!"
"Do you still have to hold on? Childish ideals and beliefs don't work anymore! Even this child you claim to be reborn—"
"What's wrong with this kid?"
"It doesn't matter, where is Yakushiji, this time-I'll bring everyone back to life, but kick you to hell!"
"No way, you can't do it—"
"Who can't get mixed up now? If you make such a big formation with such a bad taste, you will have the consciousness of dying here, ghost girl! With the power of the all-knowing and all-powerful god of the four seas, you will drive away a hundred ghosts, dispel the evil disaster, and wish you astrology, the moon and the sun, we, the onmyoji is also!"
Tear through the clouds and illusions, remove the mark of the demon in this last thunder, and send it all back to the hell of the Red Lotus Fire, which will not be tolerated or eroded, children, return with incense in the midst of ghost crying—
