Chapter 68: The Dueling Arena
After explaining the plan to the Teraya siblings, the days entered an ordinary trajectory.
Li Wu's week was very fulfilling, in addition to preparing for Sunday's action and contacting others, he also visited Miss Shrine Maiden again to see if there were any demons and monsters to practice their hands.
Unfortunately, without a troublemaker like Yuichi Uehara, Chiyo City is still in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere for the most part, and in the end, in addition to deepening his understanding of the daily work of the shrine maiden, he only defeated a few mischievous spirits and little monsters.
In the end, the completion rate of [Exorcist] became 93%, and the completion rate of [Sage] became 7.9%
Erisa is still in a state of running away from home, and her parents seem to have acquiesced to this, and did not visit Li Wu's house.
Thanks to this, it has become a lot more lively every night, because the light also lives in under the banner of accompanying Xiao Ai - although Airisa, who has a psychological shadow, would rather sleep on the ground than sleep with her.
Subsequently, the day of the duel between the sisters and brothers of the temple house arrived, and it was also the day when Li Wu was ready to capture the headless horseman.
"It turns out that this is the chosen venue for the duel."
Early in the morning, I called a taxi with Arisa, and the last place I came to was the end point where I had tracked down the Teraya, an abandoned factory near Koharuhru's izakaya.
The corroded metal strips reflect the cold light that is not close to the living, and the interior of the factory has an open and vast space, which is indeed a very suitable place.
Traces of Li Wu's previous battle with the werewolf uncle can still be seen on the ground and the load-bearing pillar in the center, but with the disappearance of the werewolf in Osori, he has probably returned to his daily life.
"We're here so early."
Like a cat that has moved to a new home, Erisa wanders around the factory with great interest.
Perhaps for her, this kind of large, empty place with no one is like a blessed place.
"Because you have to do some things beforehand."
Li Wu had already told Arisa that this time in addition to wanting her to get to know the ninja siblings, he also meant to use her as bait.
After all, if his knowledge of mythology is not correct, then he can only hope that the Headless Horseman, who is also here for Airisa, will not be able to help but take the bait.
At least it's much better than having an unknown guy snooping around.
The reason why I came by taxi today is also because there are things that are inconvenient to take to public places.
Li Wu opened the huge suitcase and took out the forged head from it.
The Celts had a belief similar to skull worship, even cutting off and preserving the heads of their enemies, believing that the souls of their beheaded enemies would serve their own tribe.
The head also possessed power and divinity, so they would place a carved dummy head at the well in front of the temple or home as a way to be blessed.
Even the fear and reverence for the decapitated, such as the Headless Horseman Durahan, is tied to this.
Li Wu has made a lot of these things from the school's sculpture club, handicraft department and art department this week, and is now placing them along the four walls of the factory at large intervals.
Then lightly pour the animal blood that has been refrigerated with ice packs.
The interior of the factory, which could only be regarded as desolate, was instantly dyed with an eerie atmosphere.
The plaster head used by the art department for copying, the wood carving head rubbed out by the carving company, and the head made by the handicraft department can be covered with artificial skin......
The last one is really impressive, Inawa High School Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
In short, they were all drenched in red liquid, and their eyes seemed to glow with an eerie light, staring vacantly into the center of the field.
The so-called ceremonial field is essentially something that creates a corresponding atmosphere through the placement of symbols.
He remembered that his father seemed to have said that.
Now, in an eerie and solemn atmosphere, this place is no longer a modern abandoned factory.
Rather, it is a dueling arena from the ancient era of human sacrifice.
With the last of his suitcase left, he pulled out several hollowed-out jack-o'-lanterns and placed them on the metal beam above him with a bounce that was beyond the average human.
At this point, the venue is arranged.
"It's kind of like Halloween."
Arisa sat on a metal crate abandoned in the factory, looking up at the jack-o'-lantern.
"Let's wait for the teraya to arrive."
Li Wu also sat down.
"Why does Li Wu do so much?"
Arisa poked him lightly on the shoulder and asked, "Like the werewolf or the short man in green before, it can be said that it is the right time, why do you want to take the initiative to provoke the enemy this time?" ”
"If I had just acquired my abilities, I might not have done this."
Li Wu recalled his thoughts at that time and said with a smile: "At that time, I was invited by Xingchuan, and I just had the idea of taking the opportunity to improve my superpowers. ”
"So has it changed now?"
"Well, a little bit has changed." Li Wu scratched his cheeks, "I think that guy who has taken off the line is quite serious about wanting to protect the daily life of the city, so he is more or less infected, of course, you still don't tell her this, otherwise Xingchuan will definitely be proud again." ”
"Oh-hmph-Hoshikawa-san again."
Arisa sulked her hands on her chin.
"If you hadn't met Hoshikawa-san, wouldn't you have saved Arisa at school and wouldn't have been involved in today's incident?"
"That's really hard to say."
"Uh-huh, it's really hard to tell, wow!"
Arisa vomited blood for a long time, probably because she had to wait for the Headless Horseman, so the pressure was too much.
Li Wu handed her a tissue and continued: "However, if you think about it carefully, you still can't sit back and watch your classmates who are on the verge of dying, and after meeting Airisa and going through so many things, you definitely can't leave your friends who are being targeted by unknown characters alone, right?" ”
He clenched his fists, "So I'm probably going to beat up that guy who covets Arisa like I am now." ”
"Covet, covet, covet ......" Arisa suddenly became quiet.
It was almost noon when the protagonist of the duel arrived.
Neither Rika Teraya nor Mahiro Teraya said anything, just simply said hello, and then it was like when the strange human head and the two spectators appeared in the factory did not exist
Li Wuneng could sense that they seemed to have focused all their attention on each other, so much so that they became sluggish to react to other elements of the outside world.
If the two siblings usually have an aura of vigilance, so much so that if he wants to defeat them, he can only attack from the front.
Now Li Wu felt that he could sneak behind the two of them and easily crush their spines - not good, because of this week's preparations, now the brain circuits are a little distorted in the direction of violence.
The ninjas were facing each other in the direction of the central axis of the factory gate.
According to the plan agreed before, Li Wu walked to the center of the field.
"The battle between these blood relatives will be dedicated to the 'horned one' Krurenos, the god of abundance, the ruler of Hades, and the guide of the gates of life and death."
He activated the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: "I hope that His messenger will come here!" ”
