Chapter 155: Three Hundred Years Later During the Demon Slayer Corps Period...
During the Demon Slayer Corps period, Suzuki Kawa was like a bug.
By the time the system realized this, Suzuki Kawa had already caught the bullet with his bare hands without any harm.
The premise for the human identity of "Novelist" to be switched to that of "Ghost King" at any time is that both cannot appear as humans at the same time. But now, under the influence of Okura Yezi's special ability, Suzuki Kawa's identity has returned from Ghost King to human.
In other words, his current body is the same body he had during his time in the Demon Slayer Corps, so weak that he is on the verge of death. But at the same time, no one in this era can hurt him because his body does not belong to this era.
In other words, Suzuki Kawa's current state does not exist in this dimension.
To use another analogy, Suzuki Kawa is like a demon with no bottom line. His attacks can never reach him. How can a bullet fired from the 21st century hit a body from the Warring States period?
But Suzuki Kawa's arrows could penetrate the hound's body.
Time can move forward, but it can never go backward.
The shooting speed of Artemis' bow can reach a number that is unimaginable to humans. Using a bow and arrow in this narrow corridor seems inappropriate, but the fact is quite the opposite. Only the arrows of the moon can transcend time and hit enemies hundreds of years later.
Sigma had already arranged for the customers in this area to move to the other end of the Sky Casino. Traces of fighting were all over the corridors. After discovering that their attacks were completely ineffective against Suzuki Kawa, Tachihara Michizo and Okura Eko looked at each other and turned around and ran away.
They also know how to act separately.
Jiguo Yansheng held the Hollow Crying God and left. After Suzuki Kawa returned to the Demon Slayer Corps, he did not take any action. He just watched Suzuki Kawa draw the bow and arrow. His long blond hair and thinner back made his sealed memories begin to grow wildly.
"As expected of a hunting dog, it can run so fast even after taking my arrow." The two men completely disappeared in the corridor. Suzuki Kawa put away his longbow and muttered.
"Is Xiaochuan really okay in this state?"
Yan Sheng pursed his lips and asked.
Suzuki Chuan turned his head and smiled at him: "It's okay, it's just that I haven't experienced the life of a blind person for a long time."
"If I want to change back, I have to ask that person to help me adjust my age."
Yan Sheng tightened his grip on the knife: "I'll go catch her."
Suzuki Chuan raised his hand and said, "Don't worry. Besides Hound, there are other psychics who have sneaked into the Sky Casino. Let's investigate carefully."
His eyes lost focus, his gaze wandering, but his tone was full of determination: "If they don't change me back, they will never be able to kill me. Let's go, let's find Sigma first."
Yan Sheng pulled him over and led him forward, avoiding the debris under his feet. Soon, the corridor returned to its empty state.
"I didn't expect that he was also in the same group as the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man."
In Lucy's space, Nakajima Atsushi looked dazed, and Izumi Kyoka was sitting next to him, also pursing her lips but not saying anything.
After Tachihara Michizo was defeated by Tsugikoku Yansheng, Nakajima Atsushi and others who were hiding in the corner of a room hid in Lucy's supernatural space.
Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses and said, "Now we have to let the hounds discover the secret of the Sky Casino. I'm afraid they will discover Lucy's special ability."
The girl who was named immediately protested unhappily, her special ability was still very powerful.
On Nakajima Atsushi's phone, Sakaguchi Ango was having a video call with them. At this moment, his brows were slightly gloomy, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. Maybe it was the conversation they had when Suzuki Kawa first appeared while drinking together.
"The high-ranking government officials killed by Nikolai were all political enemies of the Suzuki family." After a while, he raised his head and said.
Nakajima Atsushi's pupils shrank. "He did it for—"
"Perhaps he was part of the plan from the beginning, but he chose to join the plan. The list of government officials that the plan initially planned to kill was most likely adjusted by Fyodor."
"But wasn't Fyodor taken to prison?"
Kunikida Doppo's face turned unhappy when he thought of their companion Dazai Osamu who was also captured.
Ango Sakaguchi's eyes flickered as he said, "Fyodor has a way of communicating with the outside world, but we don't know what it is yet."
Maybe it was close to the connection with the Rat in the House of the Dead at that time, but that was Meursault Prison.
They had originally planned to use the Hound to expose the conspiracy of the Sky Casino and the Five Decays of Heaven to the world. But now it seems that the entire Sky Casino has been put under martial law, with guards patrolling everywhere. Although Tachihara Michizo and Okura Yeko are temporarily safe, their plans may encounter considerable obstacles.
The hound that had stormed into the Sky Casino with such arrogance was now hiding in the utility room in a panic, asking for support from other teammates.
Okura Yezi was still a little dazed, obviously she had suffered a great shock. Her hands were trembling slightly. Having experienced human body transformation and countless missions, she originally thought that she would not be afraid.
But... he aged fifty years without changing his appearance, and he only looked a few years younger after shrinking hundreds of years. Is Suzuki Kawa, who can create a human with his bare hands, really a human?
The bullet hovered beside him until it was out of range and fell to the ground helplessly.
He stood in the narrow corridor, pulled the ancient longbow, and the arrow hovered in the air. It was obviously a very slow speed, but no matter how they dodged, the arrow would still hit them.
"The port mafia has collected data on Suzuki Kawa's special abilities. Because of their brief cooperation with [GA], they provided some information." Tachihara Michizo pressed the earphone in his ear, looked up and whispered.
Suzuki Kawa's special ability was shown as twin special abilities in past materials, but they can still be collectively referred to as the positive special ability "Mercy", which can save the souls of the dead and soothe the spirits, and the negative special ability "Resentment", which can manipulate the spirits and cause fear. The greatest function of the twin special abilities is to ensure that Suzuki Kawa cannot die when he is on the verge of death.
Even if the bullet pierces the heart, he will not die as long as his body exists.
After disappearing for over a year, Suzuki Kawa returned with a mutated ability. His first ability, "A Hundred Demons Summoning," features dark purple chains similar to Ryunosuke Akutagawa's Rashomon, but these chains possess a degree of self-awareness. [GA] hasn't elaborated on these, but previous information suggests they can piece together dead humans and create new ones.
These "humans" have their thoughts controlled by Suzuki Kawa and will never betray. In related battles in Europe, these assemblers fought with psychics. After being hit by psychics, their bodies would repair themselves to the limit. After the repair was completed, the assemblers would completely replicate the psychic powers that caused the casualties.
The second ability has a huge limitation - it must be activated in the dark.
The ability called "Kill Yesterday's Me" can summon the souls of the dead.
In addition, Suzuki Kawa is suspected of colluding with the Five Evils to murder high-ranking government officials - this is internal information from the Special Ability Department.
Michizo Tachihara is not familiar with government affairs. He has been undercover in the port mafia for many years and is not sensitive to politics.
"By the way, Jouno said that although the Sky Casino's landing pad was destroyed, there was a backup pad. After we entered the casino, we saw planes constantly leaving the pad. We initially determined that they were customers stranded at the casino."
He lowered his voice. The footsteps of the patrolling guards outside were approaching through the door. Tachihara Michizo couldn't help but breathe more lightly and stopped communicating.
Coming from special forces, they are confident that they will not be discovered by these ordinary guards.
After the footsteps faded away and entered the next floor, Okura Yezi spoke: "Let's go kidnap the person in charge of the casino."
Tachihara Michizo's pupils shrank and he turned to look at her.
The red-haired girl adjusted her hat, stood up again, and said coldly, "That person is our only chance of breaking through."
"And don't forget, the Armed Detective Agency guys are still up here."
Sigma didn't know that he was being targeted. At this moment, he was at the operating console, watching the plane take off, surrounded by busy staff.
A large number of customers were sent away by plane.
The Sky Casino was gradually emptied, with only a few ordinary guards and technicians remaining here.
Suzuki Kawa was sitting in a wheelchair - this time he really needed a wheelchair, his eyes were out of focus, but he was still slowly wiping the gun in his hand with a handkerchief.
Yan Sheng walked around the Sky Casino, guarding against the hound attacking ordinary people.
There were only a few technicians in the operation room, Sigma and Suzuki Kawa.
When the last plane left the Sky Casino, Sigma breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the surveillance camera and saw a red figure flash by. His face changed slightly and he turned around and walked quickly towards Suzuki Kawa.
"They're coming this way."
"Oh?" Suzuki Kawa just raised his head when the wheelchair was turned in another direction and Sigma pushed him out in a hurry.
The wheelchair rolled through the empty corridor, making a loud echo.
The door of the operating room behind him was closed. Sigma's expression was still calm, but the back of his hands was uncontrollably cold. He pushed Suzuki Kawa out of the operating room and into another passage.
"Sigma, what if we get caught?" Suzuki Kawa was still talking to him.
Sigma's lips were straight, his breathing was trembling, and he whispered, "I don't know."
"Ha," Suzuki Chuan smiled. After feeling the wheelchair stop, he raised his eyes. His purple eyes were still empty. He said to Sigma, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to catch you downstairs."
Sigma's joke: if he jumps down from the Sky Casino, even if he is caught, he will just catch a pool of meat paste, right?
He looked at the two Hounds blocking their way ahead. The man in the wheelchair looked relaxed, but his heart was heavy.
No matter how powerful Suzuki Kawa is, can he really be 100% sure of winning against two psychics from the strongest special forces in the country?
In the dark world, Suzuki Kawa's eyes reflected Tachihara Michizo and Okura Eko who launched the attack without saying a word. When Sigma tried his best to suppress his urge to draw his gun, he raised his wrist. The pistol that he had wiped at the beginning was not raised. His slender five fingers were spread out, and his palms were facing the two people.
"Spell—"
"Open the card."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sigma heard a loud "ding" sound, similar to that of an ancient clock. Then, the hound holding the knife and the gun was frozen in mid-air.
Suzuki Kawaya sat quietly in a wheelchair.
The air stopped flowing, the world was still, and all sin and salvation fell into a brief sleep under powerful manipulation.
"Sigma," Suzuki Kawa's voice, after his body had transformed back to the Demon Slayer Corps era, had a touch more youthful hue. His tone was calm, as if he had anticipated something like this. "You are the only person I've ever met who has escaped the shackles of the world."
"……What's the meaning?"
Suzuki Kawa tilted his head and looked up at Sigma behind him. Sigma, who met Suzuki Kawa's gaze, took two steps back in astonishment.
In those purple eyes that were originally empty, he saw the fanatical faces of countless people.
Was it an illusion? The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Sigma felt his breathing grow heavier. He didn't know what was happening, but from Suzuki Kawa's eyes, he saw many things.
The high-tech light screen scrolled, and mottled and scattered images flashed by. His brain seemed to be pricked by needles, and he was staring at something indescribable, but he could not move his eyes away.
I wish I could go blind.
"Congratulations, you've seen something beyond the world..."
"world."
