Chapter 45: Ming Shen Eternal 21
Mimiko said nothing.
She just stared at the woman in front of her quietly without blinking.
The surroundings were as quiet as an empty tomb, the sky was gloomy and depressing, but for no reason, the scene in front of her eyes suddenly became bright, as if a light fell on the ends of Lei Dianying's hair, making her face flicker. Only her wisteria-like eyes were always bright, as if they saw through everything.
...Why?
Mimiko didn't understand.
She and Nanako had seen a photo of Rai Denying in their hiding place, so the moment she appeared, Mimiko recognized her identity.
The sorcerers who possessed Master Getsu's body considered the Raiden Shadow to be a huge hidden danger, and the relationship between them and the Raiden Shadow should have been a hostile one.
They were supposed to be the enemy.
Lei Ying could watch the "hounds" catch, or she could do it herself, but she did something that no one expected.
Why should we help them?
Mimiko thought about this and finally couldn't help asking. Her voice was as soft as the breeze, and if you didn't listen carefully, it would probably be ignored.
"I'm not helping you."
Lei Dianying lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the girl's tired and surprised face.
She did not continue to explain, as if she felt that explanation was an unnecessary thing. Raiden walked to the corner, picked up Nanako, who had been turned into a child, and put her in Mimiko's arms.
"Remove your supernatural power."
Okura Yezi didn't move for a moment. Her hands were on the long sword at her waist, her back was tense, and she was still in a war state.
"Even if you don't remove it, you can't stop anything. I will still take them away. There is someone in Yokohama's detective agency who can invalidate superpowers. I can go find him."
"But he may not help you, right? Not everyone has the courage to go against the military and police."
"He's braver than you think, and much braver," Lei Dianying said calmly, "Besides, even if he really doesn't want to, I have a way to make him willing."
Hoshino Nozomi was certain that Dazai Osamu was 100% willing. He even hoped for the opportunity to contact her and get more information from her.
Therefore, as long as he is willing to use the name of "Raiden Movie" to show up, Dazai Osamu will definitely keep the appointment.
However, when these words reached the ears of Okura Yeko and others, their meaning changed completely.
——If Dazai Osamu disagrees, kidnap him and threaten him with various means until he agrees.
Although there are rumors that Dazai Osamu was once one of the cadres of the Port Mafia and committed countless crimes, rumors are just rumors. At least on the surface, Dazai Osamu is now a legal citizen and a "guardian" who assists the police in solving cases and maintaining Yokohama's public order.
In this case, as military police, they must also regard protecting Dazai Osamu as one of their duties.
Jouno Caiju and Suehiro Tetsuchi's eyes fell on Okura Yezi, waiting for the deputy captain to give orders.
beat?
Or compromise?
Tiaoye Caiju was feeling nervous, while Okura Yezi frowned.
Admittedly, the three of them may not be able to defeat Lei Dianying, but now there are two "tied" on the opposite side, if they try their best, maybe there will be a turning point.
But...is there really a need for confrontation?
This matter, after all, is within the scope of responsibility of the Curse Directorate. Raiden has already said that "she will go and explain to the Directorate in person", although this "explanation" will most likely replicate the result of splitting the mountain last time - no, there is no mountain to split now, anyway, the Directorate may be in trouble, and the final result will be nothing.
Since it will end in nothing, there is really no reason for them to stop it.
The question is, would Ray really do that? What if she just released the smoke bomb on purpose and actually wanted to take the two cursers away?
After some hesitation, Ray continued, "So, what is your choice?"
"we……"
"By the way, there is only one option before you."
The air was silent for a moment.
A slight crackling sound broke the silence, and a strange burnt smell filled the air. Then, Okura Yezi realized that it was not an illusion.
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked straight into Lei Dianying's eyes. His light purple eyes were as deep as midnight at this moment, and the look he gave them was as cold as the snow on the top of a mountain. In the blink of an eye -
Several thunders suddenly came!
Time seemed to be stretched into infinity.
In the sudden change, Tetsuji Suehiro was the first to react. He drew his long sword, and the silver blade twisted like a long snake under the blessing of supernatural power. In a few seconds, the blade collided with the thunder countless times, and countless electric sparks exploded in the narrow alley.
In the burst of lightning, Thunder Shadow moved.
Jouno Caiju and Okura Yezi put their hands on the hilts and drew their swords in an instant. However, when the sword tips were aimed at Lei Denying, she just lowered her head slightly and tightened her arms around Mimiko.
Mimiko looked back.
Lei Dianying's eyes were still cold and hard, but the warmth conveyed by his tightened arms was so real that there was no room for falsehood.
Mimiko gradually exerted force on the arms that held her sister, as if a balloon that was floating upwards was reconnected to the line and was held in someone's palm.
She tilted her head, leaned on Raiden's shoulder, and put all the weight of her body on her "enemy".
Thunder surrounded him, and with a "crack", several bolts of lightning passed through the iron intestines of Suehiro at lightning speed, trapping Okura Yezi in a cage woven by lightning, and at the same time curbing Tiaoye Caiju's steps.
Tiao Ye Cai Ju looked at the flashing lightning and frowned.
His ability, [Tears of a Thousand Gold], can break his body into molecules and then reassemble it, which is almost equivalent to teleportation to those who don't know. Tiao Ye Cai Ju also used this as a means of surprise attack, but the lightning surrounding him at this moment invisibly destroyed his ability - once he activated his ability, the lightning would instantly devour the molecules, and he would die in an instant.
Okura Yezi's special ability is ineffective against Raiden Kage, and now the only one who has the ability to fight back is Suehiro Tetsuji.
An unchanging body, an eternal heartbeat, ever-changing thunder, the power to split mountains and seas... everything that is now shown in the Thunder movie seems to be born to restrain them.
Absolute disadvantage.
...He had thought things were too simple before, and actually thought there might be a chance of winning.
Tiaoye Caiju called out, "Deputy Captain."
"Ahhh I know! I know!"
Okura Yezi pressed her hat irritably, removing the supernatural power from Nanako.
"Remember what you said! Go to the Director's Office in person to handle the follow-up work. Keep your word!"
"Of course, I am not unreasonable."
The corner of Okura Yezi's eye twitched.
You're the one who started a fight over a disagreement, right?! If it weren't for Suehiro's quick reaction, they would have been burned by now!
Raikage looked at Mimiko, and she immediately understood and gave up her seat voluntarily. She had recovered some of her strength, so she just followed Raikage and let him carry the unconscious Nanako forward.
The purple lightning was still flashing, and the lightning was like a fleeting snowflake, forcibly clearing a path in the narrow alley.
Lei Dianying walked out step by step, and suddenly stopped: "Your name."
Okura Yezi and Tiaoye Caiju were both stunned, not knowing what was going on.
Tetsuza Suehiro spoke quite naturally: "My name is Tetsuza Suehiro."
Ray Movie: "Okay, I'll remember that."
There was a hint of coolness in her voice, and Okura Yezi and Tiao Ye Caiju's hearts suddenly tightened and they subconsciously held their breath.
"I will not go back on my promise to you. It still stands. You can come to the college anytime to learn from me."
"OK."
"You have good reflexes."
"Thank you for the compliment. I am deeply ashamed to receive it. I will continue to work hard on my cultivation."
Okura Yeko: "???"
Tiaoye Caiju: “???”
Isn't this change of topic a bit too abrupt? !
Okura Yezi poked Tiaoye Caiju's waist with his elbow: "What's wrong with him?"
Tiaoye Caiju murmured: "Is this the natural style... Too scary..."
Raiden had already left, his figure swallowed by the lightning. Okura Yezi took out her mobile phone, placed her finger on the option of Fukuchi Sakurachi, but hesitated to press it.
Okura Yezi: "Who will report? I can't say that the mission failed. I always feel that I have let down the captain's expectations!"
Suehiro Tetsu: "Why do you say the mission failed? Didn't Miss Ying promise that we would go to the General Manager's Office to explain?"
Tiao Ye Cai Ju: "...You really believe it completely... Never mind, then it's decided that you will be the one to explain it."
Tetsuya Suehiro obediently took out his cell phone and pressed the dial button.

Considering the physical condition of Mimiko and Nanako, Ray chose to take a taxi.
——Yes, even though he is the Demon God of Teyvat, he still has to adapt to the local customs and enjoy the convenience of modern technological progress.
If he wasn't too busy, Lei would have even bought a light novel to read when he passed by a bookstore a few days ago.
The Jujutsu High School is known as a religious school. It is well-known in Tokyo and ordinary people know its location.
A car stopped quickly.
Mimiko looked at the smiling driver and the calm Ray Shadow, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
They hated "monkeys", so they used to rely on Geto's cursed spirit to move around. After Geto disappeared, they rarely came into contact with ordinary people. But soon, she overcame this discomfort, bent over and entered the car, and leaned against Raiden.
The purple hair beside her was very long and smooth as silk. Some strands of hair sticking out from the braid brushed across Mimiko's arm, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to brush it down.
But then, she leaned towards Lei Yingying again.
Lei Movie did not refuse.
Several thunderclaps came from the sky, as dull as the rumbling of war drums, and could be heard even in the carriage.
Nanako frowned in her sleep.
Then the thunder stopped abruptly.
It was like a tape that was halfway through being played and suddenly the pause button was pressed. It was so unusual that even the driver couldn't help but mutter and tilt his head to look at the sky.
Mimiko glanced at her side quietly and saw that Lei Denying's expression was still indifferent, just the same as before.
"Thank you." Mimiko whispered.
"No need, I have my own purpose."
After saying this, Hoshino Nozomi looked at the panel in front of him.
