The world is restarting

Chapter 227 The Nameless Monster

Minamoto Raimitsu slowly put the long knife back into the sheath, and said lazily, "It's okay, I didn't expect to keep her anyway."

He glanced at Kobakari, the woman was leaning on the door frame with some strength, the candlelight in the room illuminated her crimson kimono, and there was a faint refraction in the black hair, it was a simple and elegant style. silver hairpin.

Minamoto Raimitsu: "How did you become like this?"

Momiji Kari smiled at her quietly, and was about to speak when his expression changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look behind him.

There was a sound of thunder, and a flash of lightning flashed like a dragon in the dark clouds.They had clearly killed Sakuragawa Chidori, yet the cloud outside had not yet lifted.There is a violent wind between heaven and earth, and the situation even has a tendency to intensify.

"What's going on? Hasn't the coming of the evil god been prevented?!"

Lightning and thunder became more and more intense, Momiji Kari's face was pale by the lightning.

Minamoto Raimitsu walked to the door and looked towards the sky. The clouds accumulated over Lake Biwa had turned into a funnel shape. Several dark tornadoes raged on the lake, and the dark rain poured down. The world was watered by raindrops, making a "sizzling" sound, obviously being continuously eroded.

Minamoto Raimiko crossed his arms and touched his chin thoughtfully, "It seems that after your eldest sister died, the evil god completely lost control. Does this mean that he wants to die with us?"

Kobakari bit her lip, and her face became paler upon hearing this.Her swarthy eyes reflected the apocalyptic scene outside, and her eyes stared blankly at the rain-soaked vegetation that had begun to wither. After a long time, she closed her eyes lightly, and said as if she had made up her mind, "Master Raikou. "

Minamoto turned to look at her.

"If... then I will leave it to you and Ji Jun, I..."

"Need not."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, Hong Yekari was startled, and subconsciously looked up, and saw that Minamoto Raimiko had withdrawn his gaze at some point, continued to look outside the door, and said calmly, "I know you Whatever you want to do, you don’t need to do it, just watch it, and it will be fine.”

His tone was very determined, with some indifference that he didn't pay attention to the scene in front of him at all, and his strong and stable aura remained unwavering from beginning to end, which made Hongye Kari calm down a little bit.

She then turned her attention back to the door, but the questions in her heart kept surging.

Why?Has reached this point, is there still a possibility of a comeback?

...Speaking of which, it seems that you haven't seen Ji Jun?

As soon as she thought of this, a flash of light flashed in her mind. Almost at the same time, she heard the sound of a pipa playing "Zheng", and then her vision was illuminated by a vast expanse of white light.

A beam of light rises in the direction of Zhusheng Island in Lake Biwa, piercing the sky and the earth.It is like the Dinghai magic needle in the legend of neighboring countries that can calm the rivers and seas. As soon as it appeared, the violent water waves of Piwa Lake were appeased by some invisible force and began to fall back slowly.

Momiji Kari, who had realized something, subconsciously held his breath and opened his eyes wide.Accompanied by the fairy sound of the pipa, she saw a slender figure slowly coming out of the beam of light. Her figure was soft and graceful, but people dared not give birth to the slightest blasphemy. Rivers and waters.As she stepped out step by step, the overwhelmed Piwa Lake gradually calmed down, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and even the crimson moon on the sky, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, seemed to have been washed by spring water, and a rare clear moonlight fell down. A path of the moon was condensed under her feet.

The raging Kuroshio slowly rolled back, like a giant seal in the deep sea meeting its nemesis, carefully retracting its protruding limbs, shrunk into a ball and sank to the bottom of the lake.

"That's... the Goddess of Weeping Ze?" Hong Yeshou heard her shocked murmur, as if she was afraid of being alarmed.

Minamoto Raikou's voice sounded from the side, and his tone seemed to be unsurprising, "It is indeed the goddess of Weeping Ze."

"Did Ji-jun go to the god-inviting ceremony?" Hong Yekari finally came to his senses, "Has Her Majesty the Goddess of Weeping Ze been on Zhusheng Island all this time?"

"Have you ever heard of the story that Lord Seimei met the Goddess of Weeping Lake in Lake Biwa? Her Majesty the Goddess fell in love with the poems written by Lord Into Ryoka, the master of the debate who enshrined in Zhusheng Island. They meet each other on the moon road every year. In the later generations, the aura When the retreating gods retreated one after another, the Goddess Qi Ze did not return to Gaotianyuan because of her attachment to this place, but chose to sleep on Zhusheng Island where the Biancai Heavenly Man was once enshrined."

It began to rain again, this time the rain was clear and transparent, filled with the pure aura of the gods, and the withered vegetation under the corridor of the other courtyard gradually revived under the watering of the spiritual rain.

Minamoto Laiguang leaned against the door frame, listened to the pattering rain, and continued calmly, "The three Qingminggong and Boya once helped the Goddess of Weeping Ze. With this fate and the current special situation, we should be with these two. When Ji Jun, who has a close relationship with everyone, held a god-inviting ceremony on Zhusheng Island, Goddess Qi Ze was naturally awakened."

And once the deity wakes up, of course there will be no such thing as a counterfeit trying to usurp the throne.

Having figured this out, Momiji finally felt relieved, and let out a long breath, "So, Raikou-sama and Ji-jun have already made preparations..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned around without warning, and grabbed the air with her long and slender fingers.

Accompanied by a scream, a pitch-black shadow was dragged out of Sakuragawa Chidori's body by an invisible force.

Momiji Kari pinched the black shadow tightly with his fair fingertips, his red lips slightly curled up, showing a light smile, "I guessed it when I saw that the evil god's coming was still going on, big sister, you really haven't died yet. You want to borrow Let the child's body continue to inherit divine power? Don't you always hate her? Even willing to be a monster in order to survive?"

Chidori Sakuragawa twisted and struggled in her palm like a black worm, howling sharply, "Saki Sakuragawa, why did you betray me? I am your relative, have I treated you badly since I was a child? You Forgot who was protecting you when the previous Patriarch wanted to treat you as an experiment?!"

"..."

The smile on Kobakari's lips faltered, and she slowly put it away. Her eyes fell on her sister who had lost her human figure. She remembered something, and a look of sadness appeared in her clear and beautiful eyes.

After a long time, she seemed to be smiling slightly, and said softly, "Eldest sister, compared to other tribesmen, you are indeed kind to me. If we were not born in the Yingchuan family, we would definitely become a pair of very good sisters ..."

"But there is no if, you have gone completely crazy after becoming the head of the family. If you don't die, the curse of the Sakuragawa family will continue, and finally drag the entire family to perish. I am your sister, but at the same time I am also Sakuragawa Elder sisters and elders of other people in the family, I have to stand up and protect them."

Chidori Sakuragawa's struggle suddenly stopped.

【...I have to stand up and protect them. 】

Someone whispered in her ear.

The long river of memory suddenly surged in her mind, going back to the source at an extremely fast speed.A picture slowly emerged in front of her eyes, a thin girl in a hunting suit, holding several blood-stained clothes and facing her back, her thin butterfly bones trembling constantly, crying silently, only a back view conveyed Great grief comes.

It was the end of the Heian Dynasty, the first head of the Sakuragawa family who invented the baptism ceremony.

【…】

She remembered the original intention of the first generation Patriarch to start that plan.

At the end of the Heian Dynasty, conflicts between the Genpei clans arose, and civil wars broke out everywhere.Because too many people died, unjust souls and grievances gave birth to countless monsters that wreak havoc on the world.The Sakuragawa family also participated in this war between humans and demons. The first-generation patriarch himself was unable to go to the front line because of his thin body, and was protected by everyone in the rear, and then watched his relatives die one by one in the claws of demons. Down.

At that time, it was the heyday of Tsuchimikado, and Abe Seimei's light illuminated an era, and it was still benefiting his descendants after his death.Looking at the powerful backs of the onmyojis of the Tsuchimikado family, the first generation Patriarch realized the weakness of the Sakuragawa family.Although not good at fighting, she is indeed a genius.Spurred on by her grief, she eventually invented this baptism that would transfer her powers and the knowledge in her mind to the next generation.

At that time, her thoughts were very simple. Gods like Abe Seimei were rare, and she never dreamed that such a person would appear in the Sakuragawa family.However, as long as the power and knowledge can be passed on through generations of efforts, using this most clumsy method that belongs to ordinary people, the head of the Sakuragawa family will become stronger and stronger, and one day... he will be so strong that he can survive the danger. Stand up without fear and protect everyone.

The original intention of the first generation patriarch to invent the baptism ceremony was to protect her family.

Momiji Kari was surprised to find that the black shadow in his hand suddenly went limp, as if he gave up struggling after recognizing the situation.

She frowned, still not daring to relax her vigilance and looked at Minamoto Raimitsu, "Master Raimitsu."

The servant glanced at the soul fragment that had escaped his grasp with interest, and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

The nameless long knife was unsheathed "clang-ran", and after the sound of the knife, the black shadow in Hongye's hand was cut into two pieces without any resistance, completely shattered and dissipated, even Minamoto Raikou was surprised when it went smoothly.

However, the corpse left by Sakuragawa Chidori, who gradually began to melt and disappear on the ground, showed that she was really dead this time.

The star-like light condensed in the air, which was the magic power of the dead heroic spirit intercepted by Chidori Sakuragawa who was the false holy grail.

Minamoto Yorimitsu and Momiji Kari watched the circulating stardust gradually cling to the surrounding of the nameless long knife, as if a layer of its seal had been released, a golden thread swam from the handle to the tip of the knife, giving the long white long knife The knife adds a touch of flamboyance.

A bit of noble and pure aura radiates around the blade, and at first glance, it is somewhat similar to the goddess of Weeping Ze who has appeared in real form outside.

Kobakari subconsciously turned his head to look at Minamoto Raimitsu, and saw the black-haired boy raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was indistinct.

When all the golden light spots sank into the blade, he calmly put away the nameless long sword, and said calmly, "I'm going to find Jun Ji, are you with us?"

Hong Yekari finally came back to his senses, calmed down his emotions, lowered his eyes in thought, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and shook his head, "I have other things to do, so I won't be with you. Say hello to Ji Jun for me."

The author has something to say: There were a lot of people who said they couldn’t understand yesterday (covering their faces), so I’ll briefly review——

First of all, Momiji Kari got in touch with Dazai through Odasaku. Dazai talked with her on behalf of Shuten and sent an assassin to help her kill Sakuragawa Chidori. (Assassin is Shuten-douji's servant. As I said earlier, there may be someone who has multiple servants, and it is him. Why he agreed to this cooperation is also explained today, because Chidori Sakuragawa is a false holy grail who robbed him of the real thing he needs. The power of the Holy Grail, he has to kill her to get the power back.)

Then Sakuragawa Chidori discovered the little tricks behind Momiji Kari. She is a false Holy Grail. The more followers die, the stronger she becomes, and she didn't know that Minamoto Raimiko could kill her. She thought she was invincible, so she deliberately indulged in trying to catch a follower. come out.

Momiji Kari is actually on the side with Ya, she knows that assassin can't kill Sakuragawa Chidori, only Minamoto Raimitsu can kill her, but Shuten doesn't know, she uses this information to pretend to cooperate with Jiuten to catch a piece of him When the cards came out, she wanted to catch them all, so she played Chidori Sakuragawa the whole time.

Then there is Minamoto Raimitsu, he knows that he can kill Sakuragawa Chidori, and he also knows the movements of Momiji Kari. The bird and the drawn assassin were killed together, but the assassin noticed it in advance and ran away.

Finally, there is Dazai. Shuten and Momiji Kari’s cooperation was deliberately facilitated by him. He must be Takaya, and he also knows that Momiji Kari is also on Mi’s side (but Momiji Kari doesn’t know him), so he guessed Momiji Kari’s plan in advance and secretly cooperated with her Huyou Jiutun sent Assassin out, and killed him if he could. Assassin's escape at least let the people on Mi's side know the information about the last servant who didn't show up.

So this is a game of thousands of layers of routines, Sakuragawa Chidori and Shuten predict Momiji Kari, Momiji Kari predicts Sakuragawa Chidori and Shuten's prediction, Minamoto Raimitsu predicts the above three people and Onikiri By the way, I cooperated with Osamu Dazai for a while, and Osamu Dazai predicted everyone. The only honest people in this round are Chidori Sakuragawa and Shuten.

Just... because these people are smart people, so there are a little more routines, is it complicated?

I don't want to make it so complicated, but who told me to add Dazai Osamu, I feel that the place where he is there is this style of painting...
