Bluff
The members of the Panxing Cult chose to gather at this stronghold today.
"That killer has contacted you as well, saying that he has already dealt with the astral plasma body... humph, so mysterious." One person walked towards another with obvious displeasure on his face.
"Who knows? Just give the money when the time comes." The person he spoke to also had a calm expression.
The next second, the light around them suddenly dimmed, and everything before their eyes was plunged into darkness.
"What's going on?"
"Power...is there a short circuit?"
"Come and have a look!"
Before the commotion could escalate further, a ball of white light suddenly appeared on the second floor.
"It is you who are trying to take my life." The girl in a gorgeous long kimono walked out of the wall step by step, raised her hand high, and waved it down gently.
Someone groaned and fell down on the spot.
"Humph, how stupid! You actually believed in the false truth that 'fusion with the astral plasma will defile Tianyuan' and invested a huge amount of financial resources in order to stop this fusion..." Tenuchi Riko held her head high, not caring at all about the objects that the overly frightened people threw at her tentatively.
None of those things could touch her. Some of them were intercepted in mid-air by some force at lightning speed just as they flew out of her hands, and all returned to the people who intended to attack her along their original trajectories.
"Impossible, impossible, I clearly hired a maid..." someone said in a trembling voice.
"Oh," Tenuchi Riko seemed to have heard what he said, "You are the one who brought that person here. He is indeed very strong."
"Unfortunately, although I am a human being now, I am not an existence that can be destroyed by such people... As for you, don't you understand that the 'Tianyuan' you believe in is the same source as the star plasma."
"They are of the same origin, and when one drop of water meets another, how can there be any pollution? Besides, you humans can't live past a hundred years at most. Tian Yuan has been famous in the world of spells for more than a hundred years, and the fusion of star plasma has occurred more than once during that time. According to what you said, you mean... the God you believe in has been repeatedly polluted."
"I have no right to interfere with what happened so many years ago! I only know that it was you, the woman, who wanted to merge with Lord Tengen! It was you who wanted to defile Lord Tengen! We, the believers, can of course only do small things within our ability!" Amauchi Riko's words did not seem to convince everyone. Some people showed emotion on their faces, while others, like him, looked unconvinced, but they just hadn't spoken yet.
"You... don't think that I came here to ask for your opinions, do you? As a star plasma body, my will is with Tianyuan. I am Tianyuan. In the fusion process, besides me, the only one who can participate is the magician who is responsible for protecting me."
The man suddenly lowered his head and screamed, and the bone of his hand that was pointing at Riko Amauchi and trying to grab the knife made a crisp sound. Riko Amauchi subconsciously stepped back half a step on her toes, but she stood still.
"Either change the way you continue to worship your current beliefs, or change to another belief. I am here today only to warn you to do less unnecessary things. Ordinary people who are involved in things related to cursed spirits usually have no good ending." Tenuchi Riko snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into the light.
The light gradually disappeared completely, and the darkness gradually faded, but traces of it were left everywhere, like the slime left by a snail as it passed by.
These people were shrouded in a sticky dark shadow. Although they seemed to have escaped from danger, they still maintained their original avoiding posture and did not move at all.
"Wow--" Riko Tenuchi, who had just been spit out from the mouth of the cursed spirit, patted the dirt on her body and let out a small scream.
"Thank you for your hard work, Riko-chan." Xia Yujie squatted down and comforted her, "Kuroi, please take her to clean up."
Kuroi Misato nodded, and just as she was about to support Tenuchi Riko, she saw her standing up shakily.
"My performance just now was pretty good, wasn't it?" Tenuchi Riko asked Kayu Kei with all her might.
Geto Suguru was still sitting against the wall with one hand on his knee. Hearing this, he turned his head slightly and gave Amanouchi Riko a thumbs up.
"But come to think of it, there actually is such a sorcerer..." Tenuchi Riko couldn't help but be a little dazed.
"Che is indeed a very special sorcerer. We still don't quite understand his techniques." After all, every time when we thought we had almost finished understanding them, Feng Zaoche could still find something new.
Tenuchi Riko raised two fingers, not knowing what she was pointing at: "He looks very 'trendy', he must have read a lot of comics, I've taken a look at one or two comics brought by my classmates, they were in that style!"
Geto Suguru understood, and what he understood was completely different from what Amauchi Riko expressed.
"If you're talking about the script and the lines, that's right. That guy always makes up a lot of weird stuff on the spot." As he was sitting outside listening just now, he felt that the lines he handed to Tenuchi Riko were a bit awkward and stiff.
But he had a detached perspective and knew that Amanouchi Riko was Amanouchi Riko, not some completely deified star plasma body.
In terms of actual results, the environment he created with the help of the magic and the sudden descent of God, coupled with the words, did indeed fool quite a few people.
Satoru should have successfully evacuated from the other exit, but Toru is still mixed in there. Ordinary people can't hurt him, but Geto Suguru still has to keep an eye on what's going on inside.
As for comics...Kaguya Kei vaguely remembered that Fuhayateru did read comics and would often scribble on his notebook. So it wasn't surprising at all.
Of course, cartoonists are the best at fooling the people in comics.
Feng Zaoche had been mixed in the crowd. He had observed that these people were not familiar with each other. At most, they were familiar faces. If it were normal times, it might be difficult to sneak in with his original face, but it was different now.
He pulled the hood over his head.
Just now, Tenuchi Riko's performance was better than he expected, so the final effect will be much better than initially expected.
He cried out in shock: "I, I...what is going on!"
Feng Zaoche's hood fell off as he moved, and his hair began to grow rapidly. At the same time, pure white began to spread rapidly from the roots, and soon covered the entire head.
"I feel a force gradually surging up..." Feng Zaoche threw a punch to the side.
Nothing was broken.
I could hear someone laughing loudly, still hiding himself.
Kaze Hayateru: “…”
Immediately, a spider-web-like crack appeared on the wall where his fist was pressed, with his palm as the center.
"It seems that after that adult left just now, I gained this kind of strength and this hair color..." Originally, due to long-term illness, this body had made him look a little weaker and harmless than his original world, and now this advantage was fully utilized.
"Could it be that stellar plasma also has power? But such a thing has never been seen or recorded before."
"Quick, what else do you feel? Can you control the spell?"
"Come on, I don't want to be a sorcerer. I just want to know that Master Tianyuan exists."
"Let me take a look. I feel that it is not consistent with the power of the spell. I have seen sorcerers before. Their power is called cursed power, right?" Feng Hayate frowned slightly, seeming to be lost in memory. "It is more gloomy, but the power bestowed upon me by the Star Plasma Body is more active."
"I obviously didn't do anything, why did she choose me? Or did she just want to find someone who was relatively pleasing to the eye among us to demonstrate her strength and gain our trust?"
"Is this your guess or... what Tennai-sama thinks?"
When Fuuhaiteru took a closer look at the person who came over to ask this question, he discovered that it was actually the high-ranking official of the Bandei Cult who had ridiculed "Fushiguro Shinobu's mysterious actions" before Amanouchi Riko's "divine descent".
"I don't know." He lowered his eyes, as if he was about to cry in order to sense something, "but this thought came to my mind naturally, maybe..."
No matter which side is affirmed, there will always be people who raise doubts, which will lead to many other unnecessary conversations. It is better to compromise and let them guess for themselves and choose whatever answer they like.
Feng Zaoche borrowed a headband from an enthusiastic priestess of Panxing Church, and temporarily tied his hair up.
He had long hair before, but that was in the past. Now he needed to fight, and it was not very convenient to have long hair - his physical condition was already a big burden, so he decided not to bring a second one.
It was impossible for a group of ordinary people to figure out what kind of changes had taken place in Feng Zaoche's body. He was surrounded by the crowd for five or six minutes, and finally everyone slowly dispersed in disappointment again.
"Why don't we talk about it next time?" Feng Zaoche still looked a little confused. "I think the current situation is really... the adult just left because he was angry. Maybe the power he gave me is delayed or not strong enough."
This view is accepted by the people. The power is not in their hands, so they are not in a hurry. As long as there is a way out in front of them, they will be fine.
If the star plasma is really connected to their Lord Tianyuan... some of the unsettled believers have begun to shift their minds.
After Feng Zaoche successfully escaped, he didn't have time to change his hair back to his original color and length.
"Why does it have to be dyed white?" asked Gojo Satoru.
"Because white..." It seems a bit strange to say that no matter which comic it is, it is invincible. Feng Zaoche considered the wording for a moment, "white looks more divine."
Either you are a god or you are crazy.
According to his experience, 80 percent of white-haired people can comply with this law.
But the half-sentence was still biased towards the nature of exaggeration. Feng Zaoche glanced at the happy Gojo Satoru and decided to hide the second half of the sentence carefully, just as the other party did not intend to remind him that he had also "commented" him.
