Chapter 96



"...It's near Mirai Port?"

In the taxi, Jiuyuan had a bad feeling when he saw it.

Sure enough, after Mimiko and the others received the message, Kuen's premonition came true.

"Something seems to be wrong in the sea! The fish in the sea have changed, and a giant octopus more than ten stories high has appeared! In addition, there is——"

As soon as I got here, the phone call was disconnected.

Jiuyuan quickly turned on his phone and searched for Future Port.

In the live broadcast of the first few minutes, many people were trapped nearby. The giant tentacles of the octopus restrained them nearby and made them dare not act rashly. The staff who tried to secretly lead people away from the scene were almost discovered by the octopus. The tentacles suddenly swung downwards and actually dug a big hole in the ground.

What's even more bizarre is that there was a clear sky above Jiuyuan and the others' heads.

The destination, Future Port, was like the end of the world, with thunder, lightning, strong winds and heavy rain.

The crying and screaming became louder and louder, and the screen went black again.

Nanako was surprised: "...They were caught on camera, but they are not cursed spirits..."

"Ah, there's a physical entity... This is bad." Jiuyuan turned off his phone, "It will cause panic among the crowd more easily."

Everyone is watching all of this at the moment, through the Internet, through BBS, through all the channels through which they can obtain information.

The taxi driver turned on the windshield wipers and complained, "...What's going on? Why is it raining here too?"

Jiuyuan also noticed that the further they went there, the darker the sky became.

It was as if everyone was going to be swept into this rainstorm, and no one would be spared.

He opened another live broadcast room to see what was going on.

"Hiss..." After seeing this, Nanako took a breath of cool air.

The sea monster rolled up huge waves, which hit the shore and almost washed away the frontline workers.

What is even more painful is the crowd that cannot be evacuated. As long as they are discovered by the other side, the tentacles will descend mercilessly. However, they are neither psychics nor sorcerers, and the human body cannot stop them at all.

In addition, there are many small mutant fish jumping out of the water. They have sharp teeth and stinging tongues. If you are licked by one of them, you will probably lose half an ounce of meat.

The current situation is that ordinary people can only stay where they are and try not to move to avoid being targeted by the giant octopus.

However, the psychics have to eliminate these small monsters that jump out to prevent them from harming the ordinary people.

At the same time, they had to dodge the giant octopus's tentacles. Fortunately, its movements were not too fast, otherwise this guerrilla warfare would have been extremely difficult.

They even had to split up into teams to clear an escape route for the crowd, and occasionally had to actively guide the tentacles to attack, which was truly a multi-line operation.

Jiuyuan said to the system: "...It's a bit strange. I feel that it doesn't seem to be an ordinary monster. It should be some kind of unstable existence between a cursed spirit and a monster."

Although he also wanted to figure out who the other party was, saving people was the most important thing now.

As for the investigation, we will talk about it later.

This monster is huge and powerful, and it is in the sea - it has the advantage of being the main battlefield.

Jiuyuan has subconsciously begun to calculate how likely he is to win if he faces this monster.

"...The abilities I can use now are not direct enough, so I basically rely on stacking numbers to win." Jiuyuan said.

Whether it was the various skeleton soldiers (he suspected that they would be smashed to pieces by a single slap from the octopus's giant tentacles), vengeful spirits, or the underworld ghost girl, they were all more like single-soldier capabilities, and he lacked strong control and aoe!

"Don't you have any other abilities?" Jiuyuan asked, "Shouldn't you?"

At this time, the system considerately poked its head out: [If you take back your own cards, it should be fine...]

"Card?"

[It is the weapon you usually use well——a set of flower cards. 】

Jiuyuan: "... Hanazawa?" What does he use it for? Is he using it as a flying card to cut people off?

The system learned its lesson this time. It pointed at the reputation progress bar above its head and actually took a few steps forward, forcing itself directly into the next node for claiming reputation rewards.

The "???" in the reputation reward has been changed to "Yellow Spring Flower Note".

[System: ...Since you've already been to Hell, you can get this reward yourself. There's no point in going through the reputation unlocking process...]

Having said that, he didn't know how to use it.

He didn't worry about whether he had enough demonic power or not, since he had so many demonic power supplements to use.

The question now is, how to get the things over?

Do I have to pick a vest and go to the underworld?

No, it may not be too late.

Mimiko and Nanako saw that he was lost in deep thought, and no one dared to disturb him.

Nanako was looking at her phone, watching live broadcasts go dark one after another, with bullet screens one after another——

[Help, help, help—When will the police come to rescue us? ]

[Please, my daughter is still in there! If she hadn't quarreled with me, she wouldn't have gone to Port Mirai to relax alone... Please save my daughter! ]

[I am now hiding under a table on the second floor of a shopping mall. The window in front of me has been deformed by the impact. I want to run, but I am afraid that I will be the next one to be hit...]

【Is there anyone who can save them? ! 】

The barrage of comments gradually decreased, and the live broadcast room went dark again.

On his part, Kuen opened his cell phone and sent a message to Izanami.

Asked if she was interested in showing up in the human world, after hearing Kyuen's plan, Izanami agreed without hesitation.

But she still complained: "...After all, I have cursed the goddess of Hades to kill a thousand people every day."

When they arrived at the scene, they realized how chaotic it was.

Some strange-looking, seemingly mutated fish actually jumped out from the bottom of the sea. After they jumped onto the shore, they actually spun around like dogs trying to shake off the water on their bodies. They actually grew two legs under where their gills should have been, which looked very disgusting. This was not the end. A strange fish rushed up and climbed on the legs of the on-site staff, opened its mouth wide, and showed its gleaming silver teeth.

"Get out of the way!" The man didn't give the strange fish any chance and shot it through with one shot.

"...Damn it, what the hell is this!"

"Students over there! Don't come near here! Didn't you hear the evacuation notice?"

As he spoke, a tentacle swung down and he quickly stepped back, but still got a mouthful of dust.

Mimiko took out the temporary ID issued to them from her pocket.

"We are here to provide support!"

The man's complexion looked a little better, and it seemed that he also knew a lot about the inside story of the Special Powers Special Agent Department.

Even in front of the two little girls, he didn't dare to speak nonsense. He nodded and said, "Sorry for bothering you, we are trying to find a way to subdue these strange fish... But, you can see that they are almost endless. By the way, what are your abilities? We are in urgent need of people with abilities who can help everyone escape from the scene..."

Mimiko and Nanako looked at each other in bewilderment.

Compared to these, they are better at using spells to curse and kill people.

"What's in the sea?" Jiuyuan could feel a unique aura just by standing here from a distance.

It seems like an evil thought, but not really.

The man subconsciously said, "We don't know for sure... Although we have also speculated that something in the sea has affected these fish and caused them to mutate, but none of us can go into the sea... Wait, who are you?"

Only then did he notice that this young man was not one of the people holding the ID card just now.

Jiuyuan: "...I am a classmate of these two people. You can think of me as a volunteer."

The man's eyes were red, and he was obviously exhausted after using his abilities for a long time. "...Student, this is not a game. You can see that the situation is urgent now. We don't have the time to take care of you."

Jiuyuan touched his nose——

I wondered if I could walk around the Special Powers Department with this face.

Nanako subconsciously wanted to block Jiuyuan. She said, "It's okay. This is our job. There's no need to trouble Jiuyuan. Let's go, Mimiko."

The black-haired girl glanced at Kuen, then glanced at the staff member who had just asked him a question, and then followed Nanako—

"Let's go."

The staff member didn't understand what consensus they had reached, and actually left the boy alone.

This made him feel a little bit at a loss, so he had to say earnestly: "...You can leave the scene by turning around here and going straight, don't join in the fun--"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud shout -

“Ahhhhh—”

"Not good!" The red-eyed worker turned around and saw that the person caught by the tentacles was an acquaintance of his. His eyes were bloodshot: "Honda!! Damn it!" He said, "I'm going to save him, you guys do whatever you want!"

He quickly ran to the scene.

Feeling his fierce rush forward, the giant octopus also swung at him with all its strength.

He was able to dodge it the first few times, but he was getting more and more tired and was almost hit several times.

His companion was being rolled up by the other fish, being switched back and forth between different tentacles like a toy. He was afraid that the strange fish would lose interest and just throw his companion out at will.

The man was thrown high into the air. If he fell to the ground, he would be smashed to pieces!

The Red Eyes worker thought: I must! I must catch him! Or would it be better to fall into the sea? If I crash directly into a nearby building, I will definitely die!

Just when he thought his colleague was about to die, the other party's body in the air seemed to be caught by something invisible.

It just floated like this - and actually floated directly to the side of the young man just now.

"It's all right."

The Red Eye staff looked at the boy who had just called himself a "volunteer" and said to him, "Thank you."

Then he turned around and returned to his work.

He hasn't forgotten what he has to do, which is to protect.

The child huddled under the awning with his face buried in his hands, watching this scene. He was terrified just now, but his eyes widened after seeing this tiny miracle.

"Help, help--" Is there anyone coming to save them?

At this moment, a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and the hole gradually spread out in all directions.

In less than a few seconds, it turned into a bottomless black circle.

"Is there another monster coming?"

"No! How could I be so unlucky! I just went out to buy something and this happened..."

"Are we really going to die here...Mom! Help!"

This black hole descended upon Jiuyuan's head - this was the gate to the underworld that he summoned.

"Please." He whispered.

Please, my express delivery must be delivered.

Soon, a majestic female voice came from the black hole.

"Today I will return the things that I have left with you to my son."

"In the name of Izanami."

It was a small black box, lying quietly in the boy's hands.

The first time he touched this thing, Jiuyuan understood how to use this set of flower cards as if by instinct.

"Bare cards——"

The sea, which was rough just now, suddenly became calm, as if it was just a dream. The sea was calm, without a single ripple.

The violent octopus seemed to be frozen in place, completely motionless. The dark clouds above were completely dispersed, and people held their breath, no one dared to breathe out, not because of fear, but because no one wanted to disturb the scenery in front of them.

——After the thick clouds parted, a huge full moon descended.

The moonlight was bright, shining on the young man who was still standing on the shore.

He was holding a card in his hand -

"The moon is on the moon."
