Halloween Eve
Halloween Eve, 5:00 p.m.
There were quite a few people on the streets. Although it was only the eve of Halloween, everyone put on makeup in advance and went out to feel the Halloween atmosphere.
There were so many people that it took a long time to get from one end to the other. So in order to maintain order, many police officers were shouting loudly on the street.
Seeing the call that could not be connected, Kugizaki No Rose frowned and said, "Where has this guy Yuji gone again? There is no reliable information even if I ask him to deliver something."
"It's not something important, let's contact him first." Fushiguro said, "Let's go there first and inform Yuji to go directly to the destination."
It seems that because there are too many people traveling, the underground and above-ground train platforms have been restricted from entering. This situation has happened before, but this time it was a bit too sudden.
Without any prior notice, people heading for the train were suddenly stopped outside.
Although the scrolling electronic screen indicated that the platform would be reopened after the train arrived, it was inevitable that some nosy people would cause trouble, but no matter how big the commotion was, the platform staff did not show up.
The platform was closed without any warning, and they had no news except for the cold text telling them that the platform would be open in ten minutes.
This unusual behavior naturally attracted attention. Moreover, there were about five platforms that suddenly stopped operating.
The police had already intervened and after evacuating the pedestrians who were blocking the door and wanted to go to the next place to play, they touched the railing of the platform.
But the timing was just right, and new news appeared on the huge electronic screen.
As if to match the spooky atmosphere of Halloween, a large amount of blood splashed across the screen. The "blood" instantly flowed down the screen, and then a countdown pattern appeared.
"The train is about to arrive, hurry up!"
"We've finally arrived at the station, but why haven't the platform railings been opened yet?"
Hearing the others' expected words, Fushiguro Megumi and the other person, who tried their best to avoid passers-by, also turned around to look.
The platform gate and railings opened together, but strangely, the train was quietly stopped on the track, not at all as reported.
There were more unhappy discussions, but as the train doors opened, people standing in the front row who were hurrying to run quickly braked.
It was hard to see what was happening on the train in the dim tunnel, but there were still a few lights on the platform. The "passengers" on the train squeezed down, followed by a foul odor that hit them in the face.
The passengers who got off the train could no longer be described as human beings, with strange and twisted bodies and hoarse and unpleasant roars, they crowded together and ran towards the passengers waiting on the platform.
"Halloween costumes? How interesting." Someone with a keen eye guessed.
But the first person who met did not receive a "Happy Halloween" blessing. The person with wide eyes watched his body split into two.
Blood splattered everywhere. Sensing the danger and the desire to live, everyone on the scene fled in all directions.
"Run! What is that?"
But before the people behind could see the situation clearly, the people in front rushed over in panic. For a moment, blood mixed with trampling, and the situation became chaotic.
Kugizaki and Norose were planning to avoid crowded places and walk to the mission location 500 meters away. But an unknown smell came, followed by panicked requests for help and desperate screams.
That is the breath of death.
More and more people fell down, and the passage, which was less than three meters wide, was finally cleared. The remaining survivors fled in all directions, but if they ran slower, they would have been killed.
Fushiguro Megumi slowly widened his eyes, and his body tensed up uncontrollably. The chill on his back made his hands start to tremble, but his body's subconscious reaction was even faster: "Jade Dog!"
It was a scene like purgatory, a train carrying thousands of cyborgs arrived at the station. Even if one exit was closed in time, the unconscious cyborgs would find other exits.
Similar incidents occurred not only in Tokyo, but also in five other places. Such frightening news spread quickly, and all the sorcerers on standby were dispatched.
In order to avoid more casualties, several large tents were set up. The cursed spirits would be trapped inside the tents, and the sorcerers would help the survivors escape.
The streets were in chaos, but this street closest to the platform was gradually becoming quiet.
Those who were still alive were already dying. After ten minutes of one-sided massacre, the screams and cries of despair were no longer heard on the street.
There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the empty road, and large beaches of blood could be seen everywhere. But even if there were no humans, there would still be many unconscious cyborgs coming.
They could no longer be called human beings, and would only attack others without any consciousness. However, before they could get close, the cyborgs were devoured by the creatures made of shadows.
There was a noisy sound in my ears. It was not the screams of the cyborgs, but someone's angry and frustrated warning.
"Why did you agree to that guy's plan? They are just cursed spirits without any humanity. If Gojo Satoru is really sealed, mankind will really be extinct."
005 was so angry that his voice was shaking. Although he knew it was useless to emphasize the situation, he still wanted to fight back.
"Without my help, that guy who calls himself Geto Suguru wouldn't be able to seal Gojo Satoru." Zenin Kei's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
005 fell into silence for a moment, because he knew that even without Zenin Kei's help, the meticulous noose would be able to seal Gojo Satoru.
"Let this be a warning to sorcerers and to humanity."
Rather than having Gojo Satoru be sealed suddenly and then fall into the chaos of a headless fly, it would be better to create enough chaos in advance so that their strongest one can be sealed and leave some instructions for them.
Looking at the sky, Zenin Hui turned the magic tool in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he replaced the nunchaku with a short sword.
His next enemy is not a cursed spirit, so it would be more convenient to use a knife. However, according to speculation, it is likely to be a battle of techniques.
Because he had not met any sorcerer or assistant supervisor so far. This meant that the sorcerer sent to Nagoya could solve all problems on his own.
Only in this way can we have the confidence to arrange the remaining sorcerers to provide support in other places.
There were originally two people in the group, Zhan Xiang and Zhen Ren, but Zhan Xiang went out to deal with a personal grudge and Zhen Ren was sent away.
That guy didn't seem to want to meet Gojo Satoru, and happily went to find other cursed spirits with a random excuse.
However, there is a high possibility that he would be held back if it weren't for Geto's help.
Not long after they walked, Zenin Hui saw the real person who came. He was not surprised. His calm expression made the real person utter a "tsk".
"I thought you'd be a little touched when you saw me coming to help you." The real person spread out his hands and moved his eyes around, as if looking for something.
Zenin Kei continued walking along the street, but he still casually exposed the lie of the real person: "You ran away because you got into trouble that you couldn't solve."
The real person did not deny it. He put his hands behind his back and smiled: "I'm just looking forward to seeing which of you will be better."
As soon as the words fell, a figure approached quickly. A huge deep pit appeared on the smooth asphalt road due to the force of the fall.
The man exhaled, then smiled wantonly and raised his hands without hesitation: "Zi!"
The straight attack left a deep trench on the ground, destroying the buildings behind it.
While luring the person over, the real person was already prepared. Almost at the moment Gojo Satoru landed on the ground, he shrank his body and dodged.
He just wanted to watch the excitement, not to die.
However, Zenin Kei, who was within the attacking distance, also disappeared. With such a short-range attack, most people didn't even have time to react.
There was a crackling sound of electricity in the sky, and a shadow on the ground was approaching quickly. Gojo Satoru looked up, raised his hand and fired another shot at Nue.
But the Nue hovering in the air was just to attract attention. The man lurking in the shadows jumped out again with a dagger in his hand.
Zenin Hui knew that ordinary spell tools could not break through the limit. After his attack was blocked, he stepped back a few steps to create some distance, and at the same time threw the useless dagger into the shadow.
The two began to fight in close combat. Their equally matched physical skills made it difficult to tell who was the winner, so they both used their skills in tacit agreement.
A large number of escaped rabbits were summoned to cover up, but with the insight of the six eyes, they would be captured no matter how they tried to evade.
A huge snake appeared, occupying most of the street. It moved quickly in a curved trajectory, knocking down many buildings while coiling around to trap the two people who were restraining each other.
Whether it was physical skills or the mastery of Shikigami control, Zenin Kei was a strong enough rival to him. Although he had expected this, Gojo Satoru still gave him a compliment from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not bad for you." Gojo Satoru took off his blindfold with one hand, and his smile widened. "But long-range attacks should be your specialty."
As a summoner, he has an advantage in long-range attacks. Compared to the unlimited six eyes, his defense is indeed weak.
After all, ordinary people's eyes cannot observe everything in all directions. Even if they see it, some attacks are unavoidable.
For example, right now, the building that has damaged its load-bearing columns is shaking and about to collapse.
Zenin Kei looked up and saw the collapsed building right above the two of them. As the large object fell, a dark shadow enveloped the two of them.
The person in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the huge snake disappeared with him. At some point, a nue appeared, flapping its wings and smashing the boulders, while a crackling electric current flowed through the ground.
In just a moment, Gojo Satoru, who was supposed to appear under the collapsed ruins, teleported to appear above the ruins. He put one hand on his waist and the other hand on his brow.
Rokugan could see that at the moment the building collapsed, the people in front of him were hidden in the shadows as if they were swallowed by the tide, and were then crushed by these huge rocks.
There was only one shikigami, Nue, left at the scene, but it did not approach easily and only hovered above the white-haired young man's head.
As the Nue flew, a shadow was cast on the ground. At the moment when the shadow appeared behind Gojo Satoru, Zenin Kei appeared.
Even if he was attacked from behind, he couldn't escape the insight of the six eyes. Looking at Gojo Satoru who turned around in time, Zenin Kei smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy, Gojo Satoru."
The two are equally matched in physical skills, but compared to Gojo Satoru who has the blessing of the Six Eyes, Zenin Kei is indeed at a disadvantage in close combat.
His intention to attack was seen through, and even if he succeeded, he would be blocked without hesitation. However, both of them had rich practical experience, so he naturally had his own way of resisting.
The shadow beneath his feet began to move. Under the mobilization and concentration of the spell power, the black shadow was like a controllable tide. It changed freely and became a layer of defense barrier in the middle.
Gojo Satoru showed an expression of "I see," and then distanced himself, intending to change his attack method.
But the original hill of rubble was not stable, and as my feet left the ground and retreated, the ground began to shake as if there was an earthquake.
The huge snake smashed the rocks and opened its mouth wide to swallow the two people. The snake's huge body also lifted up various stones of different sizes.
Where there is light, there will be shadows. And wherever there are shadows, that is his "territory".
"The domain is expanded - the Chimeric Dark Courtyard!"
