The moonlight is as bright as water.

Half of the boy's face was cast in the moonlight, exactly the side where he was holding the cards.

There are many types of cards in Hana cards, and the type of cards that can add up to the highest number of points is the bare cards, which have a total of five cards, namely Matsuma Crane, Sakura no Maku, Mang no Tsuki, Yanagima Ono Michikaze, and Kiri no Honoka.

The card in Jiuyuan's hand is the Moon on the Miscanthus, and the pattern is a full moon on the Miscanthus.

When he used this card, he felt himself becoming as calm as the moon.

The demonic power became icy and extremely oppressive. No wonder the giant octopus, which was full of energy just now, now became paralyzed as if it had been deflated. It hung on the shore like rotten mud, with its tentacles drooping weakly.

I can't tell the difference between life and death.

Feeling that he still had enough strength, Jiuyuan turned over the second light card.

In the silence, the boy's voice became particularly eye-catching.

"Phoenix on the Paulownia."

I saw a giant golden-red bird spread its wings and flew out from the back of the moon! It flapped its wings and flew towards the octopus, which had become smaller. It first pecked its forehead with its sharp beak, and then grabbed its body with its feet, tearing it in half from the middle!

The octopus had no strength to resist, and after being injured it made a series of strange noises that made everyone cover their ears.

The phoenix sang loudly, dispelling the strange sound.

The octopus was already at the end of its strength, and after being torn apart by the phoenix, its body suddenly shrank and turned into an ordinary octopus.

Only then did people realize that the monster that had made them cry and scream was now just an ordinary aquatic creature.

The phoenix's huge claws couldn't hold the tiny octopus carcass, so it fell directly to the ground.

The leaderless little fish monsters also took the initiative to jump into the sea one by one.

Plop, plop.

The phoenix completed its mission, turned around and flew back to the moon.

The sea was calm, with only a huge moon overhead.

In this scene of day and night being reversed, people were both in awe and fear of the cold moonlight.

For a moment, no one moved, just looking at the expressionless handsome boy in the moonlight.

The young man turned around and smiled at the bewildered people, saying, "It's safe now."

"Don't panic," he said to the government workers. "Just leave."

The latter had also seen many special situations before, so he immediately came to his senses and shouted to his companions around him: "Some people, look for survivors! Others, follow me and help the rest of the group leave the scene!"

As soon as his words came out, the trapped people finally felt it was real.

"Are we saved?!"

"Hurry! Let me leave! I can't stand this damn place anymore!"

"Where are the police?! When will the police come?! Where do we go now?!"

"Let me go first! I have an important meeting later!"

The staff of the Special Powers Division shouted angrily: "Silence!"

However, no one listened to him. The police had not entered the scene yet. There were not enough people. In addition, someone was injured just now. At this moment, there were even fewer people who could organize the crowd.

Seeing that a stampede might occur if they didn't stop it, the staff who were already furious became even more furious.

Jiuyuan frowned. He didn't want the octopus monster to be solved, but still cause injuries due to the chaos.

On the other hand, he had an extremely subtle feeling - he came here as a senior to accompany Mimiko and Nanako in their work today, and if the final result was not ideal, it would be a failure for them.

Being a good person to the end, Jiuyuan turned over another card - Sakura Uemura.

The cheerful and joyful ringing sound seemed to come from a fairyland. After hearing the sound, the people who were noisy just now gradually felt their depression, anxiety and irritability were soothed. Then a burst of floral fragrance came over. In just a moment, cherry trees blossomed on both sides of the alley.

Under the moonlight, a cherry blossom road was formed leading to the outside world.

People unconsciously followed this road and lined up in an orderly manner towards the exit.

It seemed as if everyone had forgotten the terrifying experience they had just had, and some were even absorbed in admiring the cherry blossoms.

Amid the falling petals, passers-by were unconsciously guided to safely leave this dangerous area.

The workers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly arranged for some people to look for other people who needed help.

At this point, Jiuyuan felt that his demonic power was not enough, so he quickly took some recovery potion.

In fact, the cost of using flower cards is greater than he imagined, but these powers are far different from the skills he had used before, and they are stronger in quality.

If it were converted into small monsters and previous skills, he would not feel that he was short of strength even if he continued to fight for a long time.

[System: Master, do you need to use the reputation reward you just received? ]

Jiuyuan took a look and found that reputation coins were now very redundant for him, because there were not many things he needed to buy. Most of the goods in the store were now able to be operated independently, and he seldom needed to use reputation coins to replenish stocks.

And when he thought about the fact that this was originally something from his own private storage, he didn't want to buy it at all.

Well, skill points are still the most practical.

Now that we have flower cards, let's add them all to the demon power.

"Oh, right, system." Jiuyuan touched the exquisite flower cards in his hand and could sense his own power in them. These were indeed his own items - and maybe he made them himself.

"Why are flower cards so expensive?"

【System: This is because each card is made of unique materials. 】

[For example, the phoenix on the Tong tree is the phoenix you actually went to Taoyuan Township to find, one of the auspicious animals, and plucked its feathers to incorporate into the card.]

Jiuyuan: “…”

The system continued to speak on its own:

[There is also a moonlight. Izanami-sama asked Tsukuyomi to bring a ray of moonlight...]

Kuen: "...What about Sakura?"

[Of course it’s Konohana Sakiyahime! 】

Jiuyuan: “…”

No wonder such a good thing couldn't be given to him at the beginning. How could this human body use such a powerful flower card before it had strength?

Thinking about it this way, he understood why this thing was not kept by the system but kept by Huang Quan's mother.

After all, there are so many cards in a set of flower cards, not to mention the five most powerful bare cards. Since he has asked so many gods and beasts for materials, the other ordinary cards must not be bad - the system does not have the ability to keep such things.

Next, the rescue operation, on-site evacuation and protection work were carried out in an orderly manner, and the police also came in to assist.

The two sisters found a lot of injured people and rescued them with the cooperation of police officers and medical staff. The workers of the Special Powers Division knew that Jiuyuan had made a great contribution this time, so they said they would leave the matter to them and the police and go back first.

Jiuyuan looked at the time and it was almost time for dinner. He asked the two sisters, "Do you want to eat something?"

Mimiko was a little hesitant, but Nanako said, "I know there's a crepe shop here that's delicious, right, Mimiko?"

"Eh? Yes!" When her name was called, Mimiko said, "Let's take you there, Master Kuen."

Jiuyuan smiled and said, "You can just call me by my name, or just call me 'Jiuyuan-kun' like everyone does."

In case the two of them were unwilling to change their words, Jiuyuan deliberately put on an expression that made it impossible to refuse and said, "Otherwise, it will be easy to be misunderstood in school..."

"Okay." "I understand."

Not knowing much about crepes, Kuen trusted the tastes of the high school girls this time and let Mimiko and Nanako choose the varieties for him. Of course, he took the initiative to pay the bill -

“After all, I’m still a senior.” He acted like a senior and took a bite of the crepe the girl handed over to him.

It's not as sweet as I expected, and the taste is surprisingly good.

At this moment, after the strange weather just ended, night had just fallen and the streets were peaceful.

“But why did this fish monster suddenly appear…” Mimiko ate the crepe in small bites.

They were standing by a street light nearby, chatting casually.

Jiuyuan was browsing the forum on his phone while saying, "I guess it might have been affected by some force, or it might have been contaminated. The Special Powers Division should be able to find out pretty quickly if they want to."

Nanako licked the cream on her lips and said, "Maybe we'll know in a few days."

"There's one more thing..." Mimiko hesitated whether to ask or not. She looked at Nanako first, and the latter understood what she meant and shook her head at her.

Lord Gayu should have known this a long time ago, right? Lord Kuen is indeed the son of the goddess Izanami...

The voice that came from the black hole just now must have been the voice of the goddess Izanami.

"Huh?" Jiuyuan was looking down at his phone and didn't notice their expressions.

Mimiko lowered her head and continued eating her crepe: "No, nothing."

…

…

"…Is this true?"

Nakajima Atsushi happened to be with Izumi Kyouka a few stops away when the disaster occurred.

He turned on his phone and the internal message group of the detective agency said that the Special Powers Agent Department had already arranged for people to go there. But even at such a long distance, he could feel that the weather had become strange, as if it was affected by the sea monster octopus.

He was also watching the real-time news on Twitter, while Jinghua was watching the live broadcast.

However, at some point, the news suddenly changed——

[…Is it God who has come to save us? ]

「No, maybe it’s a messenger from Hades……Speaking of which, do we really have gods in our country……」

[Do you believe in God?!]

【Go and see for yourself [link][link]】

Just as he was looking at the message nervously, a video link was posted in the group.

【Tanizaki Junichiro: Look at this! [link]】

【With Yosano Akiko:? 】

Nakajima Atsushi opened the link, which turned out to be a video recorded by someone, and Izumi Kyoka next to him also came over.

"What, what is this?!" After seeing a big black hole in the sky, Nakajima Atsushi felt like he was watching a special effects movie!

Then, there was a sound coming from the air.

The owner of the voice claims to be Izanami and wants to return the items to her son.

Because it is a screen recording, the bullet screen is also playing back at this time.

[… So scary, at that moment the only thought in my mind was “The Goddess of Hades is coming.” I can still hear it even if I cover my ears…]

[Is this the arrival of God? Or is this just a messenger of God? ]

[Izanami's messenger sounds like... the messenger of the underworld, doesn't it? 】

[Wow, you don't want to use physical salvation, or let everyone go to hell so that it won't be so unfortunate. ]

[Upstairs, your idea is very dangerous. ]

"The child of the goddess Izanami..." Izumi Kyoka frowned, "Aren't they all gods in legends?"

Nakajima Atsushi was puzzled: "Yeah..."

No one doubted that it wasn't Izanami, for one reason.

This sound did not seem to be "heard", but was transmitted directly into everyone's mind!

They were clearly just watching the video, but they had this terrifying feeling. If this was a person with superpowers, it would be too scary, but whenever you hear this voice, the recognition "This is Izanami" will be engraved in your mind.

Then he saw a young man holding the deck of cards.

He said something, and then everything was silent and the full moon was in the sky.

When he saw the boy's face turning around, Nakajima Atsushi almost bit his tongue.

"Isn't this classmate Yomikawa Kyuen?!"

【I Q)@((EW):)) This is not that one!!! That one!! What is it called! Aaaaah!】

[Oh my god... So the little idol I once liked is a messenger from God? ]

[Wait, the goddess Izanami said he was "my son"...]

[…Then he should also be a god, right? ]

At this moment, Nakajima Atsushi happened to see a bright moon in the sky in the recording.

"...What a strange moon. Isn't it too close?" Izumi Kyoka said, "Is it some kind of ability? No, if it's really the child of Izanami, it's not surprising that he can do it..."

Next came Phoenix Chasing the Moon and Sakura Fairy Music.

[…Is this the way of God? ]

【I have learned a lot.】

[But doesn't he hang out with monsters? ]

[But in our country, the classification of monsters and gods is not that detailed...]

[I don’t understand what you’re talking about, I just know that he helped a lot of people—and this scene is really beautiful.]

【+1】

【+10000】

The video ends here.

Izumi Kyoka turned her head to look at Nakajima Atsushi and said, "Is that person someone you know?"

Nakajima Atsushi nodded: "...Yes. But is it true that he is...?"

“…I don’t know.” They just looked at each other.

Then, Nakajima Atsushi remembered another thing - Yomikawa Kyuen seemed to have some unpleasantness with the Special Powers Department in the past.

On the other side, Gojo Satoru "happened" to remember this incident and laughed in the car. Ijichi, who was driving, straightened his back when he saw this scene.

As a result, when Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kageka arrived at the crepe shop.

As soon as he finished settling the bill, Izumi Kyoka tugged at his trousers.

"look."

Nakajima Atsushi looked over and happened to meet Yomigawa Kyuen's eyes.

The latter smiled and greeted him from a distance——

"Long time no see, Nakajima-kun."

Then she walked towards him.

Nakajima Atsushi: “!!!”
