Chapter 12: Satokyo
According to Akamatsu online searches, the red moon warning often sounds before the red moon falls, and the exact time varies depending on the season.
Sometimes, some force majeure will affect the forecast, thus delaying the time.
But no matter what, after the alarm goes off, there is always half an hour for people to prepare.
When night falls, the whole world becomes like a clock.
All work that requires people stops.
Everyone becomes lethargic due to the indirect effects of radiation.
Therefore, when the red moon alarm sounds, it is time to get off work, and no matter how much work the employees have at hand, they have to go back to sleep well.
Akamatsu did not dare to delay and accelerated back to the Aragaki Cafe.
At this time, the streets are deserted, and most of the shops are closed.
Aragaki stood sideways at the door and waited, and said with a wave of his right hand: "The car is coming in and parking." ”
"Oh." Akamatsu slowed down and drove into the café.
Aragaki turned around and stepped in, closed the glass door, pressed the remote control with his hand, and the roller shutter door fell, "The red moon came at just the right time, you and I entered the Tokyo together." ”
"I'll show you a glimpse of the world of the Transcendent."
Aragaki waved the remote control in his hand, smiling all over his face.
Akamatsu didn't pull out the key to the motorcycle, but just turned off the fire, "Sister Aragaki, how can we sneak into Tokyo secretly?" ”
"There's no need to sneak in."
Aragaki Tearfully shook his head, put the remote control on the bar, and explained: "The dimensional enchantment directly created a false country, and its scale is so large that even the Genmen and the Vatican can't control who enters the enchantment.
As long as people with spiritual powers stay outside, they will be brought into Rintokyo. ”
Chi Song touched his chin with his hand and wondered, "What about people who don't have spiritual power?" ”
"When the dimensional enchantment covers Japan, people who have no spiritual power or whose spiritual power is too weak will fall into a state of suspended animation, so as to prevent monsters from capturing their soul breath."
Aragaki took out the folded paper from the neckline and said with a smile, "Before we go inside, we need to disguise ourselves." ”
……
The camouflage is a black cloak and a silver iron mask that hides the face.
There is a bright red flame cat motif on the side of the mask.
Akamatsu looked at the mask in his hand and wondered, "The pattern is too conspicuous, shouldn't we keep a low profile?" ”
Aragaki Tears put on a black cloak, "There must always be a code name, otherwise, what should your peers call you?" ”
"My code name in the underworld is Fire Cat."
Wearing a silver mask, the soft voice was no longer there, and became a man's deep voice.
Her voice is too recognizable, and if she doesn't use a voice changer, it is easy to be heard.
Akamatsu put on his cloak and put on the same mask, "This voice changer......"
A crisp Lori voice came out of his mouth, "Why am I Lori?" ”
"Haha, women become men, and men become women, so that you can better hide your identity."
Aragaki let out a hearty laugh, and deliberately raised Akamatsu's chin with his right hand, "Miss, it's dangerous to be alone outside in the dark." ”
"I hate it, brother~"
It turns out that men are more aggressive than women.
The figure was shaking, and even Aragaki tears were pruned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, it's a pity for you to be a man." ”
"The family is a thirteen-year-old red pine nut~"
It feels a little weird, Aragaki Tears thought to herself, next time I'll change to a voice changer, lest someone awaken any special fetishes.
……
After a while, it was completely dark, and the red moon arrived as scheduled.
A bright red glow fills the 23rd ward of Tokyo.
The huge red moon seemed to crush the Tokyo Skytree, and the night was dyed scarlet.
Akamatsu remembered that the original moon was the same size as the previous world.
As soon as it turned into a red moon, the moon actually became so huge, like a mountain floating in the air for hundreds of meters.
"Let's go."
Aragaki tearfully looked at it, opened the sliding door of the balcony with his hand, and strode outside.
Akamatsu hurriedly followed, afraid that something would go wrong.
Even if Aragaki Tear said before what the specific process was, when it came to the implementation steps, he was still a little nervous in his heart, afraid of any accidents.
Step out onto the balcony where the red moon shines.
The bright red light distorted in front of his eyes, and a huge suction force sucked the red pine inside.
"Hmm......"
He put his feet on the ground and looked up, and the view in front of him did not look like he was in modern Tokyo, but rather he felt like he was dreaming back to the Edo period.
As far as the eye can see, most of them are low-rise wooden buildings, and the roofs are even covered with layers of straw.
The huge red moon hung alone in the air.
Standing here, he could see from time to time a tall watchtower that did not fit the style of Edo painting.
It is inhabited by shrine maidens from the temple of the gods.
They are responsible for maintaining Japan's dimensional barriers, dispatching demon hunters, and searching for demon thieves.
Even if the location is so important, no one will want to attack the shrine maiden inside the watchtower.
If you kill them all, who will maintain the dimensional enchantment?
Do not harm the transcendent who maintains the dimensional enchantment.
This is a rare decision that the Vatican and the Xuanmen have agreed upon.
"Don't look at it, go this way." Aragaki said with tears, took his hand, and ran in this ancient style of Tokyo.
For the first time, Akamatsu was wrapped in such a gentle palm, although it was holding a finger, but it was because of one finger that he could enjoy the all-round encirclement without dead ends.
He took a deep breath, the cold wind coming in front of him carrying the smell of cologne.
This is a men's perfume deliberately sprayed on Aragaki tears to cover up his original woman's fragrance.
"Lord Firecat, where are we going now?"
Staying in Tokyo, the two can't call each other by their names, but by code names.
"Let's head to the market in Shinjuku Ward, finalize your Demon Hunting Knife, and then steal the corpses of some monsters, which are treasures."
Aragaki no longer retains any mystery, and truthfully states the purpose of this trip.
The dark blue eyes swept forward through the brown lenses of the mask, their senses opening to prevent them from colliding with the Demon Hunter team around the next corner.
It's not uncommon to meet demon hunters, Shingen-in monks, priests, and the group of ninjas who are shinobi in Tokyo.
Of course, it's also possible to run into peers.
"Shinjuku ......" Akamatsu looked at the road on both sides, and the ground did not even have a floor, it was completely loess road, and there were many walls, dividing the complete road into strips.
Complex as a labyrinth.
After a while, Akamatsu lost his way, not knowing whether he was moving forward or not, but feeling that he was constantly running in circles in the same place.
Is it really okay?
Thinking about this question in his heart, Akamatsu suddenly felt that finger become cold.
The gentle fingers were no longer wrapped, "Ahead is the bazaar." ”
