"That is, your parents, your neighbors, including those who grew up with you, didn't feel anything unusual about your sister's reappearance?" Masashi Toyama asked softly.

“…… Yes. The pale Yuki Momiji said weakly, "Whether it's her parents, neighbors, or her former classmates, none of them show the slightest strangeness about her appearance, but it's me who seems strange in this situation." ”

Masashi Toyama nodded: "That's why you often go to Tokyo when they are not paying attention, and want to go to her cemetery to confirm?" ”

Yuki Momiji nodded, and his originally pretty eyes were clouded: "Yes, I seem a little strange among them, and I can only look for the proof of her death, but ......"

Fear appeared in her eyes, her thin body began to tremble, and her voice began to tremble: "But every time I was about to prove to my parents that my sister was dead, she would appear next to me and smile and tell me that my parents were worried about me. ”

"Then you can't stand it mentally and start to harm yourself, and even think about suicide." Masashi Toyama glanced at the straps on her body, which were still stained with a little blood.

“…… That's right. Yuki Momiji hugged his shoulders tightly and kept looking around, his eyes full of uneasiness. It was like being afraid that the girl with her sister's name and appearance appeared again, looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Don't be afraid, she's not here now. It's very safe and no one will hurt you. Aki put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her.

When the comfort was almost complete, Masashi Toyama asked softly, "Can you tell us about the girl who replaced your sister?" For example, when did she show up, and what she usually does at home. ”

Yuki Momiji, who regained his composure, thought for a while and said, "...... It came after the sudden change in the weather in Tokyo, and the weather in Tokyo was very strange that day, and it was very similar to today, so I remember it very well. ”

Masashi Toyama and Aki Sakatoku looked at each other, and that day happened to be the day when the academy's investigation team went out to investigate the dragon ruins at the bottom of the sea, Takamagahara.

Yuki Momiji continued: "That day, when my father came back suddenly after a busy beach tour, she followed her father and lived in the house as if nothing had happened, using the empty room left by my sister, wearing her clothes, and even going to school. ”

"I don't know where she went when she was out, she always came back late every time she went out." Speaking of this, she glanced at the wine next to her, "But once, I was hiding in the room and heard my mother say that she ran to Aki's house again. It seems like there's a ...... No, it's two young men, a boy and a girl. She seemed to be interested in them and often ran over to them. ”

Jiu De Aki nodded and said, "My sister did tell me that the family's house would be lent out for a few days. ”

"Can you tell us about what makes those two young people special?" Masashi Toyama asked.

"I don't know, and I don't dare ask. I was afraid of being discovered by her, and I didn't dare to show up with them at all. Yuki Momiji shook his head and said, "I can only look at Aki's house from afar, and that boy looks like a very ordinary and ordinary person." And that girl, she is special, her hair is red, and her eyes are red. ”

"Red hair and eyes?" Aki Kakutoku frowned, this description was all too familiar to her.

……

Masashi Toyama gently closed the door, frowned and said to Aki Sakaku, "I made her forget some unpleasant memories for a while, and when she wakes up, she will probably forget all the unpleasantness." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Toyama." Aki looked at the sleeping Yuki Momiji in the room through the window, "Since Momiji is normal, then her parents ......"

"Following the name you provided, we found her parents in a shelter. It has been established that they were indeed hypnotized. The neighbors and classmates that Yuki Momiji said, and even the people on that street, may have been hypnotized. Masashi Toyama took a long breath and said, "As for her, it may be because she misses her sister too strongly, but she resists the effects of brainwashing, and thus becomes the only one who is sober." ”

Aki took a breath: "Can you do this, is it ......?"

"That's right." Masashi Toyama nodded with a solemn expression, "According to the report of the undersea survey team, the White Emperor who escaped from the bottom of the sea may be hiding there. Hidden so close, so open. ”

He let out a long sigh, looked at the continuous torrential rain outside, and said, "Unfortunately, we know too late, and at this time, she has already set off a storm in Tokyo." ”

"The red-haired girl I said about Momiji." Aki Sakatoku's expression was a little ugly.

She didn't forget that Chen Motong had sneaked on the boat before and wanted to follow them to Japan. That time she failed, but what about the back? Will she sneak into Japan with other ships or planes, and then be targeted again?

After Yuki Momiji said the girl's physical characteristics, she immediately contacted Chen Motong, who was supposed to be staying at the academy headquarters. Then, there was no response.

"I think it might not be her." Masashi Toyama shook her head, she naturally had a lot of impressions of that witch-like student, but there was another girl in Japan who was also red-haired and red-haired.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the letter from the Japanese branch requesting assistance from the headquarters. The red-haired red boy with an expression is not so much indifferent as a photo of a witch who is not deeply involved in the world and doesn't understand anything was sent to all the commissioners.

"The new ...... of the Eight Snake Families It should be said that it is the request of the former head of the family, if you see this girl, please protect her. Or, stay away from her as soon as possible. Masashi Toyama said with a strange expression, "Putting aside this somewhat strange request, if I didn't know her name, I probably thought I had met Chen's sister." ”

"I'd be happy if you could say something I could understand." Ye Sheng, who had been standing aside, interrupted their conversation.

When the three Japanese got together, they naturally couldn't speak English or Chinese that he understood, which caused him to spend most of his time as a decoration.

"Just now, the Japanese branch sent a message asking for support." He said with a solemn face, "A group of Deadpools, so many that they can barely see the edge, attacked Genji Heavy Industries. ”

……

Thunder fell, illuminating the pitch-black Genji Heavy Industries. The power supply inside was damaged by lightning strikes, and the entire building, except for some important places, was almost completely plunged into darkness. Uesugi stood quietly in front of the window in the dark, silently looking down.

A fleeting flash of thunder illuminated the scene beneath the building, and the shallow stagnant water was crowded with things crawling out of the sewers. It was a dense group of Deadpools, tail to tail, like snakes in a snake den, huddled together in a narrow space, their scales rubbing together, making an extremely uncomfortable sound.

There were so many Deadpools that they crowded the streets and crawled all over the nearby buildings. The ordinary people hiding in those buildings watched in horror as these monsters, which made screams like babies crying, dragged their long tails and climbed up the smooth glass, crawling towards the tallest building like hunting. In the invisible dark clouds in the sky, a dragon-shaped Deadpool waved its wings and circled, completely sealing all paths out of Genji Heavy Industries.

Uesugi has heard from Minamoto that when Herzog pretended to be Tachibana Masamune, he created a large number of Deadpools and hid them in the sewers. Although they have the word death in their names, unlike the corpses and hunters that have been transformed into alchemy golems, they are still alive and capable of forming groups and reproducing offspring.

In the unknown corners of Tokyo's sewers, these guys have multiplied to a considerable scale. The Deadpool that the Kassel Academy is busy dealing with at the moment is probably only a small part of this huge group.

It is impossible to completely control these guys, and to make them gather here like an army, it can only be the god who has declared his return. At the moment when the countless people of the Eight Snake Families received the oracle, these guys who also had the blood of the White King also sensed her return.

The noble being disdains to dispose of the bloodline of these sinners with his own hands, leaving it to the equally lowly Deadpool.

Uesugi lowered his head and stroked the girl on the screen very gently. It's a little ridiculous to say that he recognized the daughter of Eri Uesugi, but he didn't really say a word to her. The other party may not know the existence of his biological father in the blood.

“…… It's like, I think you will definitely become, like your grandmother's gentle person. Softly, he put away his phone and took the alchemy knife on the table.

The Alchemy Ancient Knife emitted a cold glow, and at the same time, it also reflected the group of people behind him who were in the dark. Inuyama Kazuka, Kazema Kotaro, Ryoma Koichiro, Miyamoto Shio...... the heads of the houses, and their people. Lost Sakura, Yaksha and other members of the Executive Board, as well as Sakurai Twilight and the Meng Ghost Group she formed.

Except for the women who couldn't fight and the children, all the people who could hold the sword were here, including the old people who were half-footed in the ground, and after taking some kind of potion to restore the light, they faded their dull appearance and picked up the knife again with their emperor.

He looked around carefully, and said in a very soft, but audible voice, "Originally, I was going back to France after my duty was fulfilled, and it was none of my business whether Japan exploded or sank...... But now I have a new responsibility, as a father. ”

"I'm not going to say for any great righteousness, to hell with that kind of excuse used to deceive yourself, there's only one reason for you to stay here." He gently wiped the knife and said, "Whoever is the father or son, or the husband, or the wife, or the brother or sister?" There's only one reason for you to stay here, family. ”

"I will not allow anyone to bring the flames of war to my family, as I failed to do 60 years ago. Now is my chance to make amends, and possibly my last chance. He hung his knife around his waist, and several knives crossed each other, exuding a strong aura of slaughter.

He walked through the crowd, walked to the door, then turned back and said, "I won't say anything to motivate, since you are here, you are ready for the last time." ”

"But......" his voice was a little heavier, "if you are willing to follow me, I will be willing to do what I have not done before, the responsibility of an emperor." ”

There was silence, and everyone stood behind him, waiting for the moment when he pushed the door open.

"Now, for our family." Uesugi turned around and pushed open the door in front of him.

……

High up, shrouded in glow, she lowered her head and looked at the girl below her with a painful expression, her bloodline out of control, and wandering on the verge of going berserk.

"I am disgusted by the hidden smell in your blood, the way you look and the color of your hair." She said like she was looking at a bug.

She squatted down gently in front of the girl and patted her extremely pale face: "You should be glad, glad that you still have the value of use." Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I can't help it, and I will pinch you to death with a little force, just like those sinners who have lost their value. ”

Behind her, Takamagahara, who had been silent for countless years, seemed to come to life, and the living elemental roamed the city, cheering loudly for her return. The dark space outside the old city becomes distorted, and the image of a city that looks like it is about to be toppled by heavy rain gradually emerges, which is the real Tokyo.

The somewhat distorted Tokyo gradually became solidified, as if it were about to be dragged into this eternally dark space. At the same time, many people in the outside world looked up at the same time, watching the city that suddenly appeared above the dark clouds, as if the city inhabited by the gods slowly emerged.

On the roof of a certain building, the vice-chancellor held up his glass and said, "The Nibelungen is merging with reality and toasting the last night in Tokyo and Japan." ”

Behind her, EVA quietly looked at the city that was gradually condensing in the sky, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, it's not time to celebrate. This is just the beginning of our counterattack. ”

Looking down at this city that had become very strange above the dark clouds, she said softly like a god: "It's a pity to destroy such a beautiful city, but I don't like this kind of prosperity, and lowly humans are not qualified to build such tall buildings." ”

She looked down at the girl who was prostrate at her feet, white scales almost all over her body, and many invisible changes were taking place in her body.

As if in pity, as if in proclamation, she said, "Let those who are behind you see how this city will disappear, for she will soon be destroyed in the same way." ”

Then, a hand full of white scales grabbed her: "No, I don't think your message has a chance to be delivered." ”

Sweeping away her previous weakness, the girl slowly stood up. "She" looked up, not crimson, but a rainbow, a strange pair of eyes that looked at her silently.
