Chapter Eighty-Seven: Another Wave
What Keiji Aso is playing now is the same "Moonlight" he played before he died twelve years ago, and a full moon has risen in the sky above the council hall. Kiyoki Akizuki was pulled by the sound of Keiji Aso's piano and turned into a rolling flame, burning the building that harbored all kinds of sins like firewood.
Lai Qixiao, who had regained his energy, stood up and walked freely in the sea of fire. And the eagle, which had the upper hand just now, was howling in pain from the burning fire, and its ape-like features were huddled together, looking particularly ugly.
"I see, your weakness is these flames......"
After finding the weakness of the eagle, Laiqi Xiaoyu finally had a strategy to deal with the enemy. He tore off the mask on his face and summoned another personality mask.
Summoned is a pumpkin-headed ghost with a lantern, draped in rag-like robes, floating among the churning fire. This is the magician's mask that Ryaki Xiao got from the monster thief Kidd, and his name is Jack's Lantern.
Although this little guy is weak, he unexpectedly has the ability to absorb flames, which is just right for the current situation. According to Lai Qixiao's command, Jack's lantern held the lantern in his hand high, opened the rattan-shaped lampshade, and sucked all the flames from all directions into his lantern.
Keiji Aso also changed the performance in agreement, attracting more light from the full moon above and providing a steady stream of flames for Jack's lantern.
In an instant, the raging sea of fire in the council hall was completely absorbed into the small lantern in Jack's lantern's hand, and the terrifying heat wave spread out around him, so that the burned eagle did not dare to approach at all.
"Jack's Lantern! Unleash all the converging flames! At the command of Lai Qixiao, Jack's lantern circled twice in mid-air, and opened the lampshade aimed at the eagle who was about to escape.
The flames that had just accumulated were all released at this moment, and the raging pillar of fire immediately engulfed all the matter within its range, sealing the duck's retreat, so that he could only quickly turn into ashes in this infernal purgatory.
"No, I don't want to die!" Under the scorching heat, the snake's tail immediately broke free from the body of the owl, leaving his companion and fleeing in embarrassment.
He endured the burning fire and desperately dug holes in the ground, trying to escape before he could be reduced to ashes. But it's a pity that with the help of the third eye, Lai Qixiao found the poisonous snake in the sea of fire that was about to flee at the first time, and he immediately summoned Yasen, and a dream weaving needle made the poisonous snake fall into a deep sleep, and it turned into ashes in his sleep.
After the owl was completely burned to ashes, Aso's sound gradually soothed, and the remaining flames in the council hall gradually extinguished as he played. As the last note drifted into the night sky, the council hall under the full moon finally returned to calm.
Laiqi Xiao paced in front of the drug dealer who had recovered to his original state. Tatsuji Kuroiwa and Hideo Kawashima knelt together, but strangely, Isamu Kameyama, formed by their cognition, did not disappear because of repentance, but still knelt to the side in a daze.
Keiji Aso, who is also long dead, his shadow is still sitting firmly at the piano, and there is no sign of disappearing.
This strange phenomenon made Lai Qixiao uneasy for a while, he thought that the dust had settled on this incident, but he didn't want this kind of change.
The repentant Shadow Kuroiwa and Shadow Kawashima hugged each other and wept bitterly, and then crawled to the feet of Shadow Aso Keiji one after another, crying and repenting.
"You two don't cry in a hurry!" The restless Laiqixiao hurried over with heavy steps and asked the two, "I ask you, where is Xiben?" Where's your accomplice, Ken Nishimoto?! What did you do with him after you kicked him out of the gang?! ”
"Nishimoto...... We don't know. Kuroiwa and Kawashima replied blankly, "Last night we were going to bring Nishimoto to the docks and kill him there. But then he didn't come to the dock as promised, and he didn't know where he went. ”
Lai Qixiao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden. Last night, because he didn't want to see the murder scene, he didn't follow to confirm the life and death of Ken Nishimoto, who would have thought that although Ken Nishimoto was out of the conjoined monster, he didn't die!
"Calm down, I have to calm down." Lai Qixiao rubbed his hair irritably, "Even if he doesn't die, it's not too late for him to repent now!" ”
"Wait, it might not be that simple...... Ken Nishimoto was afraid of losing his mouth, so he found a place to hide? But where can he hide? In his physical condition at the time, how far could he run? ”
At this moment, Keiji Aso, who was shadowing on the side, suddenly stopped remaining silent, but struck the keys with both hands, making a rapid music.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Lai Qixiao asked, "Can't you speak?" ”
Shadow Keiji Aso struck the same key in succession as a sign of affirmation.
"Do you know where Ken Nishimoto is now? Can you take me there? ”
Shadow Keiji Aso buried his head in playing, and the flames rose again with the sound of the piano, and the fiery snake snaked on the ground, burning all the way out of the council hall and spreading into the distance.
Lai Qixiao immediately understood, left behind the shadows who were still repenting, and ran over in the direction guided by the flames.
He galloped all the way out of the village following the flames, and finally came to a wooden house in a remote corner on the shores of Moonshadow Island, which was the same wooden house that Ken Nishimoto and Kuroiwa had conspired with the others last night. Laiqixiao pushed the door in, but he didn't see the shadow of Ken Nishimoto inside.
"What's going on?" Lai Qixiao wiped his sweat and turned to look around with his third eye, but he still didn't find Ken Nishimoto's shadow, "Am I being tricked?" ”
He ran out of the house again to reconfirm the path of the flames, but was surprised to find that the flames had not stopped in front of the hut, but had burned into a crack.
"Could it be that Keiji Aso pointed out to me the actual location of Ken Nishimoto?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Lai Qixiao decided to go out and have a look. To be on the safe side, he chose a relatively hidden rift nearby and drilled out of it.
Coming to the real world, Lai Qixiao poked his head vigilantly and used his third eye to look at the wooden house. Through the wooden walls, two vague figures could be faintly seen.
Lai Qixiao felt that the figures of the two figures were quite familiar, one of the emaciated figures was obviously Ken Nishimoto, while the other was sitting in the corner, looking not in a good situation, as if he was tied there.
Lai Qixiao changed the position facing the window to observe again, and finally saw the whole picture inside through the window.
I saw that in the narrow room, Ken Nishimoto was carrying a pistol, looking around with a frightened expression, and there was indeed a person tied up in the corner.
"Damn, why was Asumi kidnapped by him!"
