Chapter 136: Red Leaf Hunt (National Day Supplement 1/6)
The ninja vanished, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.
But none of the remaining transcendents dared to step forward, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at the red figure in front of them with fear.
"Momiji Hunting ......"
An almost moaning voice squeezed out between the teeth of one of the Onmyoji's teeth, and the other transcendents who heard the name all shivered.
Why did you encounter this existence?
"Momiji-kari?"
The big guys behind the screen also heard this, but they looked at the terrified looks of those transcendents and were a little puzzled.
Is Momijikari some kind of scary youkai?
In the minds of most Japanese people, the oni girl Momiji is not a powerful youkai.
"Momiji-kari..."
The name was also pronounced, but the expression of the folkloric adviser of the special ministry think tank was different.
"In most folk tales, the ghost girl Momiji only exists as a maple ghost, just a small youkai, but if Momiji Hunting, it may represent a more terrifying youkai behind it."
"The body of Momiji Hunt is the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King', that is, the demon king Bo Xun in Buddhist legends, the head of the Heavenly Demons of the Desire Realm, and the Lord of the Six Brahmas."
The folkloric advisor explained to the rest of the room with some solemnity, and he didn't need to say anything, the list of high-level titles alone was enough to show how strong this youkai was.
However, at this moment, most of the attention in the conference room was not focused on the titles, but on what the folkloric advisor called the 'Youkai Body'.
"The Sixth Day Demon King?" Someone was stunned.
The term Sixth Heavenly Demon King has a special meaning for the Japanese, because it represents a man who almost unified Japan, a man who is feared but admired by countless Japanese people.
The folklor's advisor nodded: "That's right, legend has it that Momiji Kari turned into a terrible man in order to take revenge on the world hundreds of years after being defeated, and announced to the world that he wanted to suppress everything by force, and he also called himself the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King'. ”
"Oda Nobunaga ......"
As the name was spoken, everyone's expressions became strange.
So they're going to be the enemy of that legendary man now?
But it is too awkward to think that an imaginary majestic and unruly man suddenly becomes a woman of peerless beauty, as if the longing of childhood had become less pure.
Many police officers suddenly remembered that when they were young, they seemed to have said that they wanted to be a man like Oda Nobunaga, and then they were inexplicably embarrassed.
"Demon King Bo Xun... The head of the Heavenly Demon of the Desire Realm... Six Brahma Lords..."
Thinking about these titles, Todai Ayako suddenly asked, "If it's such a powerful monster, does that mean that the killing stone is none of our business?" ”
The crowd with different expressions was stunned when they heard this.
Yes, originally they thought that the group of transcendents was easy to bully, and when the transcendents of the special department arrived, they could knead it at will, and the killing stone was also in the bag, but now that the killing stone was in the hands of Momiji Hunting, what should I do?
......
"The fragment of the Killing Stone, it's a pity that it's only such a small piece."
The thumb-sized blood-colored hedron refracted a mesmerizing blood-colored sheen in the last rays of the evening, and the irregular structure within it could be seen against the light.
It's hard to imagine that this crystal clear blood-colored hedron could be the legendary killing stone, more like a gemstone that should be treasured than the terrible poison stone of the great name.
This should have been something that the transcendent would have risked their lives to snatch, but now that the stone was so attractive that even their minds were fascinated by it, they still couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts.
The blood in their eyes was fading, and their almost instinctive will to survive freed them from the control of the Killing Stone.
But none of these transcendents who had been freed from the control of the Killing Stone dared to leave, and they didn't dare to gasp and stop in place, for fear that any radical movements would attract the attention of the figure in front of them.
"Also, most of the killing stones are in her hands, and it's good to have such a fragment."
Two pale fingers gently scratched the killing stone, and the red on the nails looked even more scarlet than the killing stone.
"Why, you want it too?"
As if noticing the transcendents in front of her, she looked up.
This is a pale and indifferent woman, the skin of the whole body is pale without any blood, and the indifferent face has a strange majesty, and the long black hair like a waterfall is spread behind her casually and flutters in the wind, but the most eye-catching thing is her hands.
The ten fingers are full of long, bizarre nails, and the nails are blood-like.
Pale and scarlet, the two contrasting colors made her look strange, like a drip of chili oil on a white shirt, which can drive the obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.
However, the transcendents in front of her did not dare to show the slightest abnormality, and they lowered their eyebrows one by one, for fear that Momiji would think that they had an opinion.
"I didn't expect that the Lord of Heavenly Demons would also be interested in the Killing Stone, in this case, we are naturally not qualified to compete."
One of the most extravagantly dressed onmyoji seemed to want to regain a little courage in front of Momijikari, and said something less cowardly in a small voice.
"Killing stone, I'm naturally interested, although it's useless to me, but no matter what, it's the corpse in front of Tamamo, and through the killing stone, I may be able to learn some things in front of Tamamo."
Momiji Kari opened her mouth lightly, although she looked indifferent, but she was unexpectedly willing to talk to a few ants.
"Do you want to gain power through the Killing Stone? Don't you know that the price is to become a youkai? ”
"Turning into a youkai?"
A samurai licked his lips and smiled, "Aren't we youkai now?" ”
Listening to the meaning, he should know that he is not human.
Momiji Kari also showed an unexpected expression for the first time: "Qingxing Lantern shouldn't tell you this, that guy likes to watch the creation find out the truth with a desperate expression." ”
The lantern will not tell them the truth, that is, they will find the truth themselves.
"We are just a group of small people, how can such a good thing as resurrection after death that violates the rules of the underworld be our turn? Add to that some questions in memory, and the answer is obvious, we're all just mindless creatures. ”
The samurai smiled bitterly, and the other transcendents were also silent.
They didn't have any complaints about the Qingxing lantern, although they played with them, but the Qingxing lantern didn't restrain them, so it was good to imagine themselves as a new life.
It's a pity that I found the opportunity to kill the stone to ascend to the sky in one step, but I killed a red leaf hunt halfway.
"Now that the Lord of the Heavenly Demons has obtained the Killing Stone, then there is no need for us to continue to stay, please leave."
These transcendents saluted in unison and said with some restraint.
They are very glad that Momiji Hunter is so kind today, which is completely different from the cruel appearance in the legend.
However, in the face of their farewell, Momiji did not respond, but asked an inexplicable question:
"Do you think autumn leaves are the most beautiful thing in the world?"
?
Although I didn't understand the meaning of Momiji Hunting, at this time, I just had to compliment her, and all the transcendents nodded in unison to say that Momiji was the most beautiful thing in the world.
Momiji nodded indifferently when he heard this.
The transcendents watched her worriedly and puzzled, for fear of arousing her displeasure.
But at this moment, an onmyoji inadvertently lowered his head and suddenly found that there were also many red leaves in the raging fire of Nijo Castle.
This was ignited in the aftermath of their battle.
Onmyoji's eyes widened suddenly.
He seems to understand what Momiji Hunt means!
I just looked up and tried to defend myself, but it was too late.
"Then make atonement for your sins." In the indifferent words, Momiji Kari raised his hand slightly.
"Jingle ——!"
When the wind chimes ring, the autumn leaves flutter out of nowhere.
During the funeral of the autumn leaves, more than a dozen transcendent beings quietly disappeared with the wind.
