Chapter 22 Listen to the Wind 22
The gray fog engulfed the entire town. The town that was full of laughter and joy the previous second suddenly fell into silence. The sunlight was still a warm orange hue, but it did not bring any warmth.
Dazai Osamu's [No Longer Human] can render supernatural powers ineffective. Among the three, only Sakaguchi Ango's supernatural power turned into a living being, but was shot through the crystal core by Wendy's arrow.
"He shouldn't..." Sakaguchi Ango widened his eyes in surprise, but before he finished his words, he saw Dazai Osamu touch his head with his fingers.
Recalling the appearance of the explosive psychic, Sakaguchi Ango understood what he meant.
Given his unstable mental state, it is reasonable for Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to choose to show up early.
Although this makes sense, it is not a good idea.
The question now is, how much sanity does Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko still have? Can he still resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations?
He had reached an agreement with Wendy before. After finding Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, Wendy would retrieve the necessary things to restore Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's mind to normal, and he would do his best to persuade the superiors to change their laissez-faire strategy based on Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's performance.
Detention or surveillance, or other means.
At the same time, Sakaguchi Ango also considered the worst outcome - Shibuzawa Ryuhiko died in the conflict.
If this happens, the Japanese government will lose a safety device to deal with transcendents, so Sakaguchi Ango tried to avoid this outcome, but the current situation is developing in the worst direction.
Sakaguchi Ango looked at Wendy.
The boy seemed to have misunderstood something and said with a smile: "Non-combatants can just stay at the back."
After saying this, he frowned and looked up to the right front.
Ango Sakaguchi looked over and saw a blurry figure behind a French window on a high floor.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.
A few cold lights flashed, and the glass in front of Shikozawa Ryuhiko shattered into pieces, revealing a pair of scarlet pupils and the supernatural life form behind him.
...this position...has he been secretly observing them?
Sakaguchi Ango was startled and doubts began to surface.
If Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had already noticed them, what stimulated his spirit and made him unwilling to wait even a moment longer?
A white shadow flashed before my eyes.
The supernatural being fell to the ground with Shibuzawa Ryuhiko. He seemed a little tired. He pressed his pale and transparent fingertips against his forehead and stared at Wendy without blinking, with unknown emotions brewing in his eyes.
Although there were three people in front of him, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko completely ignored him and Dazai Osamu.
The first to break the silence was Dazai Osamu.
"Good evening~" Dazai Osamu leaned to the side, "I never thought I'd see you again, Shibuzawa-kun, do you still remember me? You must remember me, right?"
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko slowly moved his gaze, and his cold eyes fell on Dazai Osamu's face: "Shut up."
Dazai was shocked by his ruthlessness.
He tugged at Wendy's clothes in a wronged manner, knowing that Wendy couldn't read lips at all, so he launched a tearful attack.
Wendy pulled his fingers away but touched Dazai's head.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko showed no interest in their "friendly" interaction, and Dazai interrupted him as soon as his lips moved.
"Hey, a friendly reminder," Dazai pointed to his ear, "Wendy can't hear what you say, let alone read lips."
“——”
Dazai poked Wendy's cheek, and Wendy grabbed his hand again: "Look at this bewildered expression."
“————”
"...Of course...I know." Shibuzawa Ryuhiko covered his forehead with his hands, frowning.
Of course he knew that Wendy couldn't hear.
This is one of the intelligence reports provided by the leader of the intelligence organization "Rats of the Dead House", "Demon" Fyodor.
In addition, Fyodor told him something more crucial - Wendy was a "replacement" found by the Special Powers Agent Department.
Replace him as a safety device to deal with the Beyonders.
At first, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko did not completely believe what Fyodor said.
He is a cunning intelligence dealer who loves to play some clever tricks. At the same time, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko knows the nature of those people in the government. The more cards they hold, the better. They recruit Wendy, but they don't want to get rid of him.
Until Fyodor brought new news: Wendy is the guardian of the "White Tiger" and is hostile to him.
guardian.
In other words, if he wants to obtain the supernatural power of "White Tiger", he must kill Wendy.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko lowered his eyes and stared at the photo. In the photo, Nakajima Atsushi and Wendy were talking happily and behaving intimately.
A long time ago, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had seen a special supernatural power somewhere. The light it emitted dazzled him, and without it, the entire collection room would have lost its meaning.
In order to find the special ability, he kept in touch with Fyodor, and the final answer given by the other party was the white tiger of Yokohama.
The string called "reason" suddenly broke under the combined impact of the whispers filling his mind and this news.
“——”
“————”
A few days ago, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko got a torn page.
The source is untraceable, and the content above can be called taboo - it records things about "evolution".
At first, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko just took a cursory look and randomly grabbed a psychic and a sorcerer to do experiments. In the end, he determined that the knowledge above can not only provide a way to "evolve", but also break the boundaries of power.
If it had been leaked, it would surely have caused an uproar in the scientific research community. Unfortunately, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had no intention of handing over the remaining pages to the country, and he was not interested in most of the content recorded therein.
The remaining pages are set aside.
Until he realized that Wendy was on the opposite side of him.
This young man with a mysterious origin has extraordinary strength, and most importantly, he has been trying to find his own whereabouts.
In Yokohama, he met everyone with whom he had had any trouble, which indirectly proved that what Fyodor said was true.
In this case, they will eventually have a fight.
The current [Ryuu-Yan-Zhi Jian] alone is not enough to compete with Venti.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko picked up the torn page again - even though he was already troubled by the crazy muttering.
He developed new functions of his supernatural powers, allowing the collected crystals to be transformed into supernatural life forms to fight for him. At the same time, he can also control the fusion of supernatural life forms to increase their power exponentially.
Everything is for the purpose of obtaining the supernatural power of "White Tiger".
Wendy must be killed.
Finally, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko met Wendy in this town.
He quietly checked from the upper floor and was surprised to find that Wendy's piano playing could actually eliminate some of the mumbling. He was so absorbed in listening that he suddenly received a message from Fyodor on his mobile phone.
[They have discovered you. Nakahara Chuuya of the Port Mafia is heading here. They are waiting for the convergence.]
*
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko covered his forehead to block Dazai Osamu's inquiring gaze.
Influenced by "that thing"?
But unlike the previous explosive psychics, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko has not yet revealed his extremely strong offensiveness and instability.
Is it that the impact is not deep enough, or is it that the tolerance level is different, which slows down the process?
Dazai Osamu calculated the time in his mind and finally checked the box next to "tolerance".
There are no special items around Shibuzawa Ryuhiko. The thing Wendy wants to find may have been placed in the collection room by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, but it is also possible that it is an invisible existence.
Dazai Osamu quickly glanced at Wendy's expression.
There was nothing unusual about his appearance, and it was impossible to tell from his micro-expressions what he wanted to recycle.
"Shibuzawa Ryuhiko," Sakaguchi Ango spoke cautiously after confirming that he still had the possibility of communication, "You should know that the Special Powers Division has been covering your tracks, but now you..."
“——”
“————”
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko: "I don't intend to let you go back alive."
Hundreds of supernatural beings appeared instantly!
The fog became thicker and thicker, and visibility dropped to less than one meter.
Xingye Wang suddenly raised his head slightly. He felt the unnatural air movement in the sky.
Nakahara Chuuya is here.
The mist was spreading at a very fast speed. Hoshino Nozomi had no idea what Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had said. He was very poor at lip reading, but fortunately he didn't intend to go into details.
Hundreds of supernatural life forms formed a circle, covering up Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's figure.
Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango are not the main targets, so there are only a few scattered supernatural life forms nearby. Hoshino Nozomi does not need to worry about them. At this moment, he only needs to focus on the enemies in front of him.
There is no doubt about the power of the God of Wind. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to control the situation in a short while.
The fact was just as Hoshino Nozomi had imagined. Under the pressure of the strong wind, most of the supernatural life forms could not even step within one meter of him. Occasionally, there were a few that could escape the constraints of space, but they would be crushed by the wind and crawl on the ground when they got close.
The boy just stood there steadily.
A definite crush.
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko froze, and Fyodor's words echoed in his ears again.
The supernatural power he was looking for was in Yokohama, but the boy decided to block his way forward and easily cut off his hopes.
The pair of emerald eyes stared at him quietly. Shibuzawa Ryuhiko tried to think of a way to break the impasse, but the mumbling in his mind became more and more rapid and noisy.
he……
“——”
should……
“————”
The supernatural life form suddenly "broke".
Their shapes suddenly dissipated and turned into several dazzling white lights, breaking away from the restrictions of the wind and gathering together.
The huge white dragon crushed the buildings, its body covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and it protected Shizoze Ryuhiko safely in the center.
A huge amount of energy has been accumulated in the white dragon's mouth, sucking in light sources from all directions like a black hole. The sky is dark, and "death" falls on everyone's shoulders. The weight of a mountain almost bends their waists.
Xingye Wang frowned.
The appearance of the white dragon was indeed beyond Xing Yewang's expectations, but what was even more beyond his expectations was the result of the system's identification.
As the supernatural life form gradually turned into white light, it did not forget to attack him. Hoshino, whose attention was diverted by the white light, subconsciously raised his bow to block it. The next second -
【Strength assessment, great failure. 】
[In a hurry, you tried to use the longbow as a weapon to have a wonderful close combat. As the saying goes: An archer who can't fight in close combat is not a good archer. You believe this deeply. However, the sad thing is that you are indeed an excellent archer, but you are really not good at close combat. After some operations, the longbow slipped out of your hand, and you didn't have time to retract your strength, and you punched yourself in the chest! ]
[You used all your strength, so this blow was simply too much for you to bear.]
System: […Host, the projection of the Wind God can only last for fifteen seconds at most.]
Xing Yewang: “…”
He simply had nothing to say.
Waves of tearing pain came from deep within his soul, and Xingye Wang shuddered as he took a breath.
From the outside, the body of the God of Wind was still intact, not as horrific as described.
The damage was converted into energy loss. Just as the system said at the beginning, this was just a projection of the God of Wind, and only he himself needed to bear the consequences of the roll point failure.
A cold countdown sounded in his mind. Xingye Wang felt the vast energy in front of him and silently recited "pull" in his heart.
The identification was successful, but he did not immediately use the wind to escape the attack range.
The projection was about to disappear, and he needed to choose a perfect reason for his exit.
The flowing wind gathered behind them, protecting the two of them. Hoshino said, "I know you're worried. It doesn't matter. The wind will tell me everything."
"Fly like a bird, fly high in the sky for me, to pursue the future of mankind, the future that belongs to you."
Afterwards, he threw the two of them high into the sky, to where Nakahara Chuuya was.
Hoshino Moto used the power of wind element again.
【Induction and appraisal, success.】
The wind rushed in from all directions, turning into the strongest iron cage, firmly locking the spreading mist. The wind inside finally condensed into an invisible arrow, this time without the need for a specific bow and arrow as a support, the magic power belonging to the demon god directly attacked the energy body of the white dragon!
The energy wave that erupted cut down all the surrounding buildings.
【Agile identification, success.】
Hoshino Nozomi's fingertips touched Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, and the other's scarlet pupils reflected the boy's indifferent eyes and calm face.
【Recycling is successful, do you want to check the memory?】
【no.】
