Chapter 44: Ming Shen Yong Eternal 20
The speed of Ray's movies is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even though Jouno Caiju reacted immediately and quickly signaled Suehiro Tetsuji to follow, after a few breaths, Raidenkage's figure had disappeared in the crowd.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky again, with occasional thunderclaps.
Some passers-by held up umbrellas, while others quickened their pace, trying to rush to nearby shops or under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. Even though Tsuchiya Tsuchiya and Tetsuya Suehiro were in much better physical condition than ordinary people, they were still hindered by the chaotic crowd.
It was definitely too late to evacuate the scene, and besides, they couldn't do anything out of line to ordinary people.
Suehiro Tiechang suddenly said: "Hold on tight."
"Varied--"
Tiaoye Caiju only had time to utter a short syllable before Suehiro Tetsuza grabbed her arm and pulled her up. The next moment, Suehiro Tetsuza jumped on the spot, using a passerby's umbrella as a foothold, and moved forward rapidly - accompanied by the passers-by's shouts of shock or anger.
Tiao Ye Cai Ju: "...I really do hate you...No, I should say I really hate you, a guy who has no artistic talent at all."
Suehiro Tetsuchi didn't respond. He was used to this.
Tiaoye Caiju said this, but in her heart she had to admit that this was indeed the only solution at the moment.
Amid the whistling wind and the gradually accelerating heartbeat, Tiaoye Caiju's brain was working rapidly.
The reason why the two of them dared to stand leisurely on the street was because the strength of the target of this mission was really average - whether measured by the standards of a sorcerer or a psychic, it was undoubtedly "average".
The mission was assigned to the three of them simply because they happened to be working together, but when it came time to actually carry out the mission, it seemed a bit of an overreaction to have three people go at it together.
In fact, not long after they arrived here, Okura Yezi discovered some traces left by the target, and then she said casually that she could do it herself and carry out the pursuit mission alone.
He and Tetsu Suehiro stayed where they were, and met Raiden after a while.
The "private affairs" mentioned by Lei Yingying are related to their mission objectives.
The so-called "private matter" may be an excuse to fool them, or it may be a real affair.
If the latter is the case, then an inevitable battle will come between them and Ray Cinema.
For them, fighting has almost become an instinct, flowing in their blood and integrated into their daily life.
But at this moment, Tiaoye Caiju couldn't help thinking -
Can you win?
The purple had already slipped away from their sight like smoke. Tiao Ye Cai Ju was calculating the possibility of winning the battle in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the colder he felt.
It is difficult to win a head-on confrontation. Even if they have been transformed, they dare not say that they can take such a blow - lightning can split mountains, let alone flesh and blood.
They are human after all.
Tiaoye Caiju's heart sank and he suddenly thought of a solution.
They are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but if the vice-captain can successfully contact Raiden-Ying and release his special power [Breath of the Soul] to control Raiden-Ying's age changes and make her lose her fighting ability, the situation of the battle will change in an instant.
But all this is based on the premise that they can arrive in time.
Tiaoye Caiju urged, "Hurry up."
"Um."
*
"Bang--"
The heavy object hit the wall.
Along with the person, a brown rope was also thrown away. The cursed tool was kicked into the air and landed in a white glove on the way down.
The owner of the gloves was a petite girl with a childish look, but her movements were fierce and precise. Every strike accurately removed the force from the target without mercy.
"Hold on."
Okura Yezi's voice was cold. She swung the cursed tool casually, and it was thrown dozens of meters away. It didn't stop until it hit an obstacle.
The black-haired girl leaned against the wall, still exerting force with her hands, trying to stand up. However, her physical strength had reached its limit, and now she had lost her weapon, her abdomen and wrists were aching slightly. As Okura Yezi said, she was indeed resisting at the last moment.
But even in a desperate struggle...
Mimiko tried her best to open her eyes, but the scene in front of her was double. Okura Yeko's figure occupied the center of her field of vision, but all her attention was on the curled up and skinny "child" in the corner.
Her sister, Nanako.
This person's ability can manipulate the age of humans, so in the battle just now, the opponent regressed Nanako's physical age to the infant stage, and Nanako completely lost her ability to fight.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would be treated in the same way. After losing her ability to resist, she would be taken to the prison where the cursers were imprisoned and handed over to the Directorate for judgment.
...This can't be done.
Don't want it to end here.
They finally made it to this day, and went through a lot of trouble to find Geto's body.
However... the body of the "father" who saved them from the ignorant, self-righteous, hypocritical and cunning "monkey" and provided them with a warm home was taken over by a sorcerer who came from nowhere.
They don't ask for much.
They just wanted their "father's" body back, so they agreed to help him.
But before the plan officially started, the previous layout was accidentally shattered - Louhu, an important fighting force, was sealed, and someone in the government was investigating their whereabouts.
Nanako once asked him bluntly: "Rather than being directly removed, doesn't the seal give us a chance to be rescued?"
The corners of "Suguru Kei"'s mouth were twisted into a stiff straight line, and he did not answer their questions. In the following days, they went their separate ways and the other party hardly contacted them again.
This made Nanako feel uneasy.
Mimiko has been trying to comfort her, but to little avail. Nanako's spirit is getting lower and lower, her mood swings are getting bigger and bigger, and some ordinary little things can make her irritable and angry.
At first, Mimiko still had the energy to comfort her sister, but before long, she began to feel tired and occasionally had auditory hallucinations. In the end, she could only rely on her sister and express her silent care through actions.
Mimiko attributed all these anomalies to their concerns about Geto's body, so she carefully avoided surveillance while trying to find the sorcerer who controlled the body.
However, the first person they encountered was a superpower who came to capture them.
A vast expanse of white appeared before her eyes, and Mimiko could even see the patterns on the gloves. As long as this hand touched her, their relationship would be completely...over.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a loud thunder.
The bright light from the activation of her supernatural power stimulated her sore eyes, and Mimiko closed her eyes subconsciously, murmuring her sister's name softly.
The expected changes did not come.
Instead, she heard the psychic's surprised cry. Mimiko opened her eyes with great effort and saw a dazzling purple.
The man's sleeves flowed like water, and the exquisite and luxurious patterns occupied Mimiko's vision. She used the last of her strength to tilt her body, and finally saw the whole appearance of the person who came, and understood the situation on the scene.
Okura Yezi's special ability has lost its effect.
The military police's hands locked Lei Yingying's forearms tightly, and the light from the activation of his superpowers kept flashing, but Lei Yingying did not resist at all.
But strangely, nothing happened.
There was no change in Raiden's appearance. She didn't age or shrink. She just stood there intact, using her frail body to block Mimiko.
Okura Yezi was also extremely surprised: "How is this possible..."
Her power failed?!
Okura Yezi stared at Lei Dianying, unwilling to miss any change, but no matter how she looked, she always got the same result: her supernatural power was ineffective.
In other words, it was rendered ineffective.
But the ability to become ineffective is not something that can be found everywhere. Lei Dianying's ability is related to thunder. Logically, it is impossible for her to be safe and sound.
...Who is this person?
Raikage turned his wrist, grabbed Okura Yeko's arm with his backhand, and pushed her back: "You can't take them away."
She didn't use much force and didn't seem to have any intention of attacking. Okura Yezi staggered a few steps and then steadied herself: "Huh? This is our mission target, the military and police are performing their duties, do you want to hinder us?"
"Besides," Okura Yezi narrowed her eyes slightly, "I remember that you were supposed to be on the side of the technical college, right? And now you're here to defend the curser?"
"I'm not defending them. I have never had any contact with them before."
Lei Dianying calmly replied: "I know you are doing your job and I mean no harm."
"so?"
"You may withdraw now."
A number sign appeared on Okura Yezi's head, and the smile on her lips almost disappeared.
This person is so infuriating! He actually gave her orders as if it was a matter of course!
"I'm afraid that's not possible," Okura Yezi curled her lips, "otherwise I would be the first person in the history of 'Hound' to fail a mission."
If they fail, not only will the reputation of "Hound" be damaged, but Okura Yeko will also have no way to explain to Fukuchi Sakurachi and the government - should they say that even if the three of them went out together, they couldn't catch two weak cursers, or that even if the three of them joined together, they couldn't beat Raiden Kage and could only watch her take the target away?
But what should I do if I want to stop her?
For some reason, her special ability has become ineffective. She will definitely not be able to defeat Raiden with strength alone. Even if she adds Tiao Ye Caiju and Suehiro Tetsuji, her chances of winning are slim.
There was a sound of wind behind, and the other two people finally arrived. As soon as Tiaoye Caiju landed, she saw Okura Yezi with a serious expression, and she had already guessed what had happened.
They had just fought, and naturally, the deputy captain did not gain the upper hand. Tiao Ye Cai Ju looked at her, and Okura Ye Zi shook her head imperceptibly, lowering her eyes to stare at her hands.
...Does this mean that the supernatural power is ineffective?
Jouno Caiju knows that there is a psychic in the Yokohama Detective Agency who can negate the supernatural powers of others. This ability is rare in the world. Is there a second one now?
He then rejected the idea.
Amid the chaotic heartbeats at the scene, only the melody of a dirty heart remained steady and gentle, revealing a thrilling abnormality at every moment.
Tiao Ye Cai Ju thought, if not, then it could only mean that there was something wrong with Lei Dian Ying's body.
Not old.
But even if they have undergone the most special and advanced surgeries, they cannot resist the erosion of time. Their faces will change and their bodies will gradually age.
Tiaoye Caiju's breathing became disordered. Suehiro Tetsuji didn't understand why, but he still put his hand on his shoulder and whispered to comfort him.
Suehiro Tetsuji: "Ms. Ying, this is our mission."
Ray Movie: "Whether the mission fails or not does not depend on whether you catch them."
Okura Yezi: "What do you mean?"
"Dealing with cursers is the responsibility of the Spell Directorate. I will go and communicate with them personally."
"ha?"
The atmosphere is like a taut string; it will break with just the slightest pluck.
Lei Dianying ignored her and walked to Mimiko, kneeling on one knee, bending down and picking her up from the ground: "Let's go."
"Nanako..."
"I understand," Ray Ying whispered, "I understand."
"I won't let this happen again."
