Chapter 119 The Final Deal
Zhu Fu Jingguang patted Amuro Toru's back soothingly and said with a smile, "I originally thought you would exchange secret codes with me, or ask me something that only I would know."
Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "I'm not that unrecognizable to you. I originally thought... Never mind, it's nothing."
He originally thought it was just an illusion, a hoax, an illusory phantom caused by mental stress.
His pre-boarding psychological examination reports were piled up on his workbench, so many that his boss was frightened and immediately approved his leave application. But in fact, he was not sick, at least not sick enough to have hallucinations.
Speaking of hallucinations, he remembered that Kage Yayoi had frequently looked into the void during the Sanno Festival. It was Hiro who was standing there at that time. It was also during that accident that Oda Hiro appeared in front of him.
"During the Sanno Festival, you once said that fate would guide me to find the answer. You were very panicked at the time and took Hiro away, and asked him not to leave your side recently."
"Can I understand that you resurrected Hiro, so the world line created the large-scale disaster of the Sanno Festival? Because I am important to the world line, you told me that fate will guide me to find the answer. You can't fight against the world line, so let me test it?"
It is hard to imagine that even when his best friend was resurrected, Toru Amuro only allowed himself less than ten seconds to vent his emotions and then resumed his rational thinking.
I don't know what Morobushi Kagemitsu was thinking about, his face turned a little ugly. But Kazukage Yayoi didn't notice the story behind this, he continued with the topic of Amuro Toru.
"Not entirely true. The seven people from the Skytree were supposed to have died in that disaster. I had the power of creation, and I thought I could use it at will. No child would not be excited after getting a toy, and I was no exception. I believed in the world line, and I used the power."
"The authority saved those seven people, so I thought I could revive Yayoi Anton too. But I failed, and Hiro happened to appear at that time. I didn't understand why I failed, so I chose to try to revive Hiro."
"I failed too. He is now just a somewhat powerful and complete spirit, and cannot be called a human being. The world line wants to kill me, and it also wants to kill him. This is why we stand on the opposite side of Him. It's simple, isn't it."
Amuro Toru rubbed his brows with a headache, "I understand. Although I understand, it doesn't seem to make any sense. I don't even know what this world line is, and I can't help."
"Now, let's think about what the organization is planning to do. The mortars fired from the manor were not from the organization. It is very likely that the organization placed them in this encirclement."
"Since the organization has launched a general attack, the mortars may be low... They must have something that they think can kill gods, so they launched the attack."
"Can I ask, can external attacks cause real harm to you?"
Before Kazukage Yayoi could answer, Amuro Toru deduced the result himself, "No... You were hospitalized, and Akai Shuichi said you fainted. Your injuries are very strange, the external injuries are very minor, but the report shows that you have suffered serious damage in all aspects of your body."
"But you said Jack Daniel watched you drink the poisonous milk... and you really drank it. In other words, the damage to your original body will be reflected in this body. But if this body is damaged, no matter how fatal it is, you can repair it."
"If I can come to the above conclusion, the organization can certainly do so. Rum asked Jack Daniel to drug you just to confirm whether your body would die from external forces."
"But the organization still took action despite knowing this conclusion..."
"Wait, when you first joined the organization, Gin injected you with an interrogation potion, and your reaction was very intense at that time... a neurotoxin. No, you were obviously immune to the nerve stimulation later... but before that your reaction was consistent with that of a normal human... Your behavior was as if you were pushed to a critical point and had to change something abruptly."
Amuro Toru was silent for two seconds, then concluded: "You need energy to repair your body, so you won't use energy to repair your body unless you have no choice, because the lack of energy will affect your body, right? That interrogation potion has already threatened your body, so you have to use energy to change something in this body."
"I guess it's the pain nerves? In other words, you can modify the expression of some human genes?"
…
"Mr. Amuro... has anyone ever told you that you're scary?" Kazukage Yayoi hesitated to speak, and he finally understood why the FBI agent on the ship had that expression. Before he could say a word, Amuro Toru had already figured out the whole story.
"Not bad? I think you left a lot of information." Amuro Toru shrugged, "So I said, if I can guess what the organization can definitely guess."
After hearing this, Jing Yasheng rubbed his forehead and told the correct answer, "The number of souls I have stored is the number of times I can repair them. If I exceed this number, I can no longer repair them."
"I currently have 154 souls stored. This means that if the organization kills me 155 times, I will not be able to restore this body."
"Sounds like it's hard to kill him?" Amuro Toru raised an eyebrow, "I only have one life."
Kazukage Yayoi shrugged, "But there is another bad news. The damage to Elizabeth and Hiro will be borne by me. Elizabeth is my human believer, and Hiro is just a fake human. They both need me to allocate energy for protection. One attack will be one energy."
"154 times, that's the total for the three of us."
Amuro Toru frowned when he heard that. "So, 52 times?... It seems like things are getting a little tricky all of a sudden."
Kazukage Yayoi shook his head, "No, Mr. Amuro, if you follow me, I will have to protect you, which is 39 times. I suggest you go and meet up with Rum. Your identity has not been exposed, and you are still Rum's subordinate. Hiro can turn back into a spirit and follow me, so I only need to protect Elizabeth."
"No, Lord He Jing, you don't need to protect me. They won't touch me. I can leave by myself." Elizabeth quickly refused, "You have already completed the deal with me. You don't need to do anything for me anymore."
But Kazukage Yayoi reached out and touched the top of Elizabeth's head. "Elizabeth, if I hadn't shown up, you would have been dead. You were their target. They even wanted to kill you more than they wanted to kill me."
"Why?" Elizabeth tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand why she deserved to be killed.
"I don't know why. Maybe they think you are my believer, my anchor. Do they think that if gods lose their anchors, they will lose their self-awareness in the torrent of time?" He Jing Yayoi blinked, "I don't really understand either."
Hearing this, Elizabeth lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "In that case, I will follow you. If your safety is really threatened, please give up on me. I know that death is just returning to your arms, so please don't worry about my life. Since I met you, I will never be afraid of death again."
Although he had never had a believer, Elizabeth's sincerity moved him. He Jing Yayoi smiled gently and was about to say something.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of breaking air not far away, and the sound was approaching their location, like a death knell about to be struck, telling of the tragedy that would happen in the next second. He looked back, and the lives of Elizabeth and Amuro Toru began to flow rapidly at this moment. He even saw their souls that were about to leave their bodies!
The organization took action!
When he reacted, Kazukage Yayoi's face changed. He pulled Elizabeth and Morobushi Keimitsu and jumped out of the window. The broken glass splashed all over the three people, cutting their skin and bleeding. But now he obviously couldn't care about these things, and Kazukage Yayoi still ran out at a fast speed.
"Bang!"
The sudden artillery fire landed right on the house where they had just stopped. The shock wave, carrying scorching flames, rushed over across the entire alley, breaking through several solid walls. The flames swept through the ends of Kazukage Yayoi's hair and burned the hem of his clothes. Kazukage Yayoi rolled violently on the ground, dodging the mortar's attack range.
This attack was much more powerful than the artillery fire that hit the manor just now.
He patted his clothes and stood up, saying in a complicated tone: "This is really... accurate." If he hadn't run a distance of 100 meters in one second, everyone would be dead by now.
Although Amuro Toru ran out as soon as he saw Kazukage Yayoi running, his speed was definitely far slower than Kazukage Yayoi. He had just climbed out of the house and taken a few steps when the artillery fire arrived as expected.
The scorching flames devoured his skin, and the white light blinded him instantly. The next second, he was surprised to find himself next to Yayoi Kazukage, who was several hundred meters away.
"...153 times" and Kazukage Yayoi looked at Amuro Toru quietly.
Although Kazukage Yayoi had no intention of condemning him, Amuro Toru knew that he had almost died just now and it was Kazukage Yayoi who saved his life. He raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry... I'll leave right away."
His staying here was just a burden to Kazukage Yayoi. So he turned his head to look at Morifushi Kagemitsu, opened his mouth to say something, and in the end he just uttered, "Take care."
"You too, zero." Zhu Fujingguang waved his hand and watched Amuro Toru run away.
But before the three of them could catch their breath, the next second, Kazukage Yayoi picked up Elizabeth again and ran away, "Hiro, change back into a spirit."
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had the same idea, quickly changed back to a spirit and returned to the necklace. With one artillery fire, buildings within a square kilometer were destroyed. He Jing Yayoi's body was just a human, and it was already quite strenuous to take care of Elizabeth, so he should reduce some of the burden on Yayoi.
The terrain here is complex, and too many houses make it difficult to run in a straight line. He Jing Yayoi simply jumped into the air, but he didn't expect that the shell that was supposed to fall hundreds of meters behind him would hit him head-on for some reason.
Elizabeth stared with wide eyes in panic as the cannonball flew towards her. She could even see the color of the cannon and the ominous flames on it, and her nose was filled with a pungent smell.
Fortunately, Kazukage Yayoi twisted her body in a way that ordinary people could not do, and the shell narrowly missed Elizabeth's arm and fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
Another house collapsed in the bombardment, and the flames gradually spread across the area, but the streets were unusually quiet, and no one came out of the house. This was a dead city, with no one inside, and he couldn't even replenish his soul. He Jing Yayoi looked at the ruined city with an ugly expression, without saying a word.
"Bang!"
"Bang!!"
The shells kept coming at them like crazy, and Kazukage Yayoi even had to pay attention to the safety of Toru Amuro who was running in the opposite direction.
"149 times, can't Mr. Amuro run faster?" Kazukage Yayoi sighed helplessly, and then ran in the opposite direction with all his strength. After all, Amuro Toru is a human being, and no matter how fast he runs, he can't expect him to run a kilometer in one minute.
There were several more mortar shells, each one hitting them nearby, and Kazukage Yayoi had to keep running and jumping between buildings to avoid the shelling.
"Something's wrong. These shells are too accurate. We have locators on us." Zhu Fu Jingguang reminded with a frown.
"……I know."
Kazukage Yayoi did not delve further into the topic. He held Elizabeth in his arms and ran without stopping. The dense artillery fire followed them as if it had eyes.
"How big of a circle has the organization created? I've already run 15 kilometers from where I was." He Jing Yayoi couldn't help but sigh deeply. Even if he was a god, this body was just a human. No matter how fast he ran, he was running on his two legs.
But just as he finished his complaint, the next second, more intensive artillery fire fell from the sky. He Jing Yayoi sighed helplessly and started to escape again.
"No, we have to think of a way. The organization has accumulated so much ammunition over the years, we can't wait until the moment they run out of ammunition." Zhu Fujingguang looked at the sweat gradually oozing out of He Jing Yayoi's forehead. It seems that running is also a kind of energy consumption for Yayoi. They can't keep running until the moment the organization ceases fire.
"Think about it, I now understand what it means that ants kill elephants..."
He Jing Yayoi felt like the unlucky guy who got 100 million yuan and was chased by the snail all the time. It was not fatal, but it forced him to move constantly, which was annoying enough to kill him.
"Lord He Jing, put me down..." Elizabeth suddenly interrupted, she loosened her hand holding He Jing Yayoi, "Mr. Zhu Fu is a spirit, it is impossible for him to carry a locator. If the locator was on you, you would have found it long ago. So, the locator is on me, right?"
Kazukage Yayoi did not respond. He silently held Elizabeth and continued to avoid the artillery fire.
"I'm sorry, but it's true." Zhu Fu Jingguang mentioned the matter of the locator in order to persuade Kazukage Yayoi to give up Elizabeth, but Kazukage Yayoi refused.
"If it could be easily removed, Lord He Jing would have done it long ago. So, is it inside my body? I've only had one surgery since I was a child. It was after my mother died. They performed the surgery on me. They said I had a heart disease."
Elizabeth smiled as if she had discovered something interesting. "Really? This boss is so scary. How could he predict the future to such an extent? That was 12 years ago..."
He Jing Yayoi had no intention of telling Elizabeth about this. Although the chase was troublesome, it would not threaten his life. But since Elizabeth had made her choice, he had no intention of changing her decision.
"Elizabeth, I'm sorry, I really can't remove the locator from your body while you are alive. The target of those shells has always been your heart, and the locator is indeed inside your body." He discovered the target of the artillery fire from the beginning and tried to run out of the encirclement, but failed.
"I understand, Lord He Jing. You can take me with you today and tomorrow, but you can't take me with you for a lifetime. Removing the locator requires surgery, and the organization won't give us that much free time."
"I said I would give you everything. I won't make it hard for you." Elizabeth smiled unusually brightly. She put the medicine bottle in her hand into Kazukiya Yayoi's shirt pocket. "Well, see you later."
She had already taken the poison before she opened her mouth, and she quietly lost her breath in He Jing Yayoi's arms.
