Chapter 65: Lily of the Valley: Someone wants to die, go to work!
"Okay, Master Blood Butterfly, we can leave here now. Don't waste your precious time on these people."
Yuan Luzhi bowed slightly and sincerely made way for Xuedie.
"You have been lurking in the Metropolitan Police Department for a long time in search of clues to the scabbard. From now on, leave everything to us."
Enryuchi's eyes fell on Wonder: "After all, isn't the real owner of the scabbard here?"
"This guy is not easy to deal with. I don't know what his soul tag skill is. Even Red Heart, one of the four leaders, couldn't catch him."
Huo Gu looked at Yuan Luzhi and pretended to remind him in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter. After all, the knife is in the hands of the shrine maiden. The situation this time is different from before. She will not make the same choice as last time. All we need to do now is to return to the shrine as soon as possible and anger the 'mountain god' so that this Tanghong Mountain, which has been silent for a long time, will burn again."
"Let's go, Master Blood Butterfly."
The painter of stars and moon suddenly appeared. Her figure was so light that she looked like snow dancing in the air. She shook the brush in her hand lightly, and beautiful colors slid out in the air.
The space was torn apart by such colors. Fanlan leaned over and pointed to the space with one hand: "The preparations for your true recovery have been completed. Under the accumulation and flushing of the hot springs over the years, your bones have begun to recover. I believe you will be satisfied with our work."
Xuedie didn't say anything. Wonder and Youyu stood there thoughtfully. They were not as emotional as Saotome Rin. They always felt that... the other party's silence was very unusual. Ever since Yuan Luzhi appeared, the "devil" with a knife seemed to have not spoken.
After all, although Xuedie doesn't speak fluently, he is not a taciturn person.
Blood Butterfly walked straight towards the entrance to the space. The opened entrance even began to tremble violently when the "Devil" approached, as if it could not accept the power of the Devil. Blood Butterfly just glanced secretly at the space tunnel, and the latter immediately curled up like a monkey and stopped moving.
Xuedie looked at Yuan Luzhi with her blood-red eyes. She didn't say anything, but simply made some lip movements.
But...the witch and the others won't die, right?
Yuan Luzhi was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward slightly and said very respectfully: "Yes, you will get what you want, and this is the only way for you to get what you want."
Xuedie nodded and stopped talking. Her figure disappeared into space in an instant. Yuan Luzhi, Fanlan and Huo Gu also quickly slipped in. No one knew where the space crack led to. Saotome Rin and Linglan rushed over to stop them, but the demon king's deterrent power was so strong that they couldn't even use the soul tags smoothly. They could only watch the demon apostles escape with regret.
“These guys…” Linglan gritted her teeth. Shuise beside her finished her unfinished words: “…Are you serious? That Xuedie kid… is the Demon King’s consciousness?”
"Not completely... To be precise, it is a mixture of the part of the demon king's consciousness that inhabits Ama-Kume's sword and the human 'blood butterfly'..."
Saotome Rin stood up from the ground, holding on to her soul weapon, the long sword. Her expression was pitiful and ugly, her eyes fixed on the place where the space door disappeared, and she seemed to be crying blood.
"It turns out that the consciousness in the knife has already appeared... I foolishly thought that the knife had never been in anyone's hands..."
Saotome Rin clenched the hilt of the knife in her hand. Xuedie and she escaped together from the burned-down Yellow Springs Town 8 years ago. Although before that she only knew that Xuedie was once a person in the shrine, as a person who also crawled out of hell, Saotome Rin never dreamed that Xuedie was actually the demon consciousness residing in the sword of Ame Murakami that the Yamagumi and the Metropolitan Police Department were wary of.
Now that the demon's consciousness has left, where is the knife?
It must also be in Huangquan Town, the Huangquan Town restored by the DM system.
So that's why the Sun Enforcement Bureau can't find the other Ten Commandments tokens, because these Ten Commandments tokens have been taken to another world by the devil. Only the DM system can freely travel through and control the superimposed world inside and outside.
If the demon apostle gets the knife... and really resurrects the demon king...
Saotome Rin's body began to tremble. She grew up in Huangquan Town. Even though the huge snake bone remains were buried deep in the mountain, they still gave everyone a terrible sense of deterrence. It was a shadow that lingered in her heart during her childhood, second only to the Huangquan Town incident.
If such a huge snake really came to life...
Saotome Rin took a deep breath, not daring to imagine.
"The Murasaki Sword is one of the Ten Commandments. It contains powerful energy and can do almost anything. I originally thought that the sword was not in their hands, but now it seems that the demon apostle probably knew that the Murasaki Sword was here..."
You Yu's brain was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly asked, "Could it be that even Wonder's appearance here was the result of their deliberate guidance because they released the information about the Ten Commandments Token?"
Wonder didn't think the situation was serious at all. He even looked relaxed and more relaxed than Youyu: "It looks like this."
You Yu: "...How come you don't have any sense of urgency at all? Is this really true?"
Because Wonder's behavior just now really saved them, Youyu temporarily classified Wonder into the same camp as "temporarily trustworthy" and could even complain about him naturally.
"No matter what, the most urgent thing is to quickly destroy those light pillars. Yuan Luzhi has been operating in Huangquan Town for so many years, and he can't change it. Energy requires a certain collection process and time. Those light pillars should be the energy collection mechanism of that bastard's hot spring. The soul particles of so many people are collected, and with the power of the Ten Commandments as a medium, no one knows how far this terrifying scale of energy can go. I'm afraid... it's not impossible to fully resurrect the Demon King in the true sense."
You Yu's expression also turned quite ugly: "The light beams are concentrated in various corners of Huangquan Town and the shrine in Tanghong Mountain. It seems that we have to act separately."
"You Yu!!!"
Saotome Rin had already clenched her knife and was about to rush towards the shrine when she heard a voice coming from the direction of Tang Hongshan Shrine. Youyu and the others looked up and saw a beam of fire burning all the way from the end of the street, like a paved fire road, rushing straight towards them with scorching heat.
"You guys have to be careful! That bastard Tangzhu can regenerate his own □□ infinitely and appear anywhere in Huangquan Town. I ran all the way here just to inform you - are you okay? Wait, why are you looking at me like that?"
You Yu and the others all looked at Yang Yan, helplessness already forming in their eyes.
"No, why do you react like this?"
Yang Yan looked at Bai Ye and the others strangely. He always felt that everything was strange, but he didn't know what exactly was strange.
"This is the light column created by Enryuchi after he suddenly reorganized his flesh and blood in front of us, absorbing the soul particle energy contained in the hot spring in Huangquan Town."
You Yu pointed at the huge beam of light in the Great Evil Soup Residence in front of him.
Yang Yan's eyes widened: "Then I——"
"This is the current head of the Mountain Group."
You Yu didn't wait for Yang Yan's reply, but just sighed again, interrupted Yang Yan, and pointed at Saotome Rin on the other side who looked like she could kill everyone.
Yang Yan's eyes widened even more, and his voice choked: "No - slow down a little."
"And the Miss Blood Butterfly who is not here now is the incarnation of the demon king's consciousness that resides in the demon sword Ama Murasaki."
Youyu pointed to the void, the place where Xuedie and others had just disappeared. Yangyan looked for a long time but did not see any trace of Xuedie in that empty place.
Yang Yan: "Not - the Demon King?! Don't be ridiculous, please!"
You Yu paused, he glanced at his side and saw the thief with a smile as always: "This... uh, I don't need to introduce myself."
“This is wonder.”
Wonder waved at him with a smile, and after saying hello, he threw a poker card and disappeared again. Only his voice was still clear: "I still have things to do. I'll go first. Come on, deal with these light pillars, detectives."
You Yu didn't react much. He already knew that Wonder appeared here for only one purpose, which was to confirm whether the detective agency and other devil players were willing to cooperate before Yuan Luzhi fell.
Yang Yan looked at the rain of playing cards disappearing in front of him. He had already lost the ability to organize his words, and he got to the wrong point as soon as he opened his mouth: "Actually, I can tell even if you don't say it."
"But who can tell me how much I have missed and what you have been through?"
Yang Yan touched his cheek sheepishly, and looked like he was about to pull his hair out in pain any second.
"It's hard to describe in a few words. There are many things. In short, the basic situation is that Yuan Luzhi's true purpose has been exposed. It is not to realize the dream of those psychopathic upper-class people to stay young forever, but to gather the soul particles of the entire Huangquan Town and attack the remains of the demon king buried deep in the mountain."
Yang Yan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "Damn it, now the Demon King's body and consciousness are here, then-"
"The worst outcome, of course, is that the Demon King will be resurrected here!"
Linglan turned the fork in her hand a few times, her face looking extremely ugly. On the other side, Saotome Rin could no longer control her emotions, and rushed towards Tang Hongshan, leaving them with only her back.
Linglan held her forehead with her hand: "Rin and I are the fastest, so let's go destroy the light column on the mountain. You guys are in charge of this place. As for Yangyan... you'd better not go to the shrine."
"Why?"
Yangyan was a little confused. Youyu patted his shoulder and shook his head at him.
Obviously, such information, which was not important enough for Yangyan to rush from the shrine to Huangquan Town, made Yangyan appear here. Linglan could tell at a glance that the other party was obviously deliberately sent away.
As for what the person who sent Yang Yan away wanted to do...
You Yu thought that maybe there were some things in the Shinto family that were not convenient for ordinary people to know, but Linglan sensed an unusual breath in the atmosphere, so she chose to catch up with Saotome Rin at the first time, jumped onto the fork, and flew towards Tang Hongshan with the help of vines.
The atmosphere in Huangquan Town is changing. On a snowy night, someone will make a major decision that will affect everything.
However, this choice does not mean that the road ahead will be easy and smooth, but instead adds the heaviness of paying a huge price.
That quietly changing atmosphere... is called death.
She felt that a powerful soul tag owner was about to choose death.
