At this moment, Momomiya Shikaha was obviously not the only one who was shocked by this scene.
Looking at the huge army of ugly ghosts that suddenly appeared on the sea, Tomokawa Nao's eyes couldn't help but widen to the extreme, and she asked in surprise.
"What's going on? Why are there so many ugly ghosts here? Could it be that the enemy's lair is under the sea..."
"Wait a minute, Nao, look there!"
Kaori Hayata on the side suddenly discovered something. She raised her arm and pointed in a certain direction, with a look of surprise that could not be concealed in her tone.
Tomokawa Nao subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the other party.
For a moment, the whole person froze on the spot.
Among the mighty army of ugly ghosts attacking on the sea, the ugly ghost in the middle has a particularly eye-catching white spot on its shoulder.
It was a cute cat with a bunny ears hat on its head.
What is different from ordinary cats is that there is a pair of angel-like white wings growing on its back.
At this moment, it was squatting leisurely on the shoulder of the ugly ghost in the front, and the other ugly ghosts were following behind it, as if they were driven by it.
The moment he was noticed by several people, the corners of the cat's mouth couldn't help but turn up, revealing an extremely sinister and human smile.
Its huge snow-white wings suddenly spread out behind it, and with just a slight wave of its wings, it left the ugly ghost's shoulders and came to the top of the crowd.
The bright yellow cat eyes were like a mirror, reflecting the shocked expressions of the people beneath him.
Walking in the night sky, he spoke elegantly.
"Good evening, chosen girls."
"It seems that you have encountered an unexpected and difficult situation."
"How about I, Hugh Ke, help you get rid of this kind of non-burnable garbage that shouldn't appear on your path of growth?"
"Hey, how about it?"
While speaking, its gaze passed over Momo Palace Luye and the others, and landed on Yagami Kong's face.
The dark vertical pupils shrank into a line, and the terrifying violent malice came out of that small crack like a poisonous snake, gnawing at Ye Shenkong's body.
However, even though he was stared at by such eyes, Ye Shenkong's expression remained calm, and he could even look at it calmly.
And this was obviously beyond Xiuke's expectation, and the eyes he looked at Ye Shenkong became more and more unkind.
"Hey, it seems like it's not just ordinary trash—"
"Don't even think about it!"
Sensing the other party's intention, Momomiya Shikaha and others reacted immediately.
Under the tacit understanding developed through long-term cooperative operations, Momomiya Shikaha and Tomokawa Nao took a step forward to block Huike's sight, while Hayata Kaori stayed in front of Yagami Sora, ready to support the two at any time.
At this moment, Momomiya Luye pointed at the other person's face and warned sternly.
"Give up, Hugh Ke, we won't let you hurt any innocent people anymore!"
Looking at the all-too-familiar look in front of her, Tomokawa Nao's teeth gritted together.
"Xiu Ke, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person..."
"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"
Looking at the reactions of the two girls below, a hint of teasing suddenly appeared on Hugh's cute doll-like face, and he flapped his wings leisurely in the sky and said while flying.
"Why, are you planning to fight these thousands of ugly ghosts?"
It turned back and glanced at the endless army of ugly ghosts behind it, and said casually.
"You have to know that as long as I give an order now, they will attack Okinawa without hesitation and destroy everything in sight."
"Then, with what you are now, how many can you stop?"
"Seven or eight?"
"Oh, by the way, there are also the 1.4 million ordinary people living in Okinawa. How many do you think they can stop?"
"Xiu Ke, you-"
Momomiya Shikaha's fingers couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Looking at the girls below who were obviously not as determined as before, the teasing look on Xiuke's face became more intense and he said sinisterly.
"Yes, I know where the upper limit of your abilities is, I know every weak point in your heart, the beauty you long for, and I hope everyone can find their own vision of happiness. These can only become
The shackles that bind your movements.”
"If you don't want the history of Okinawa to end here, forget everything about tonight and go back to your original lives."
"When the power in you blossoms and bears fruit, when the day of harvest comes, I promise that I will let Okinawa go."
At this point, it paused for a moment, and then patiently persuaded in an elder's tone.
"You are all kind-hearted children. I believe you will make the right choice-"
"That's enough."
At this moment, Kaori Hayata gritted her teeth slightly and interrupted Xue Ke's words.
Her eyes were stubborn and moved upward little by little.
"No matter what you do, we have decided not to surrender to you anymore."
"The power of magical girls never exists to serve evil. Everything we have done before is to enable everyone to go to the tomorrow they want to go to."
"This kind of intention is the reason why we become magical girls!"
After hearing Kaori Hayata's words, Xion couldn't help but feel a little headache, shaking her little head repeatedly, and said in distress.
"No, this is not okay, Kaori, you are their senior, so you must set an example."
Its tone suddenly changed, a bit playful.
"Besides, you don't want your descendants to suffer misfortune because of your choices, right?"
While it was speaking, the army of ugly ghosts in the distance had begun to accumulate strength, and a white ball of light that kept growing in size and became increasingly bright appeared in its mouth, aiming at this place.
In the next second, it will turn into a thick beam and shoot out.
"Now, you still have the last ten seconds to regret it. Speaking of which, the next attack is no joke. It is conservatively estimated that the entire Naha City behind you will be destroyed."
With a proud smile on his face, Xiuke pretended to be serious and announced.
"Then, the countdown has begun, ten, nine -"
"Forget that monster in the sky, let's call you Xiuke for now."
At this moment, to everyone's surprise, Ye Shenkong, who was under the protection of everyone, suddenly spoke.
He sighed softly and shook his head.
"Xiu Ke, I would like to advise you to put away your boring tricks as soon as possible."
"A clumsy trick like yours can only be used to deceive these kind-hearted girls."
"Well?"
Hearing this, Xiuke's proud expression was startled.
Its eyes became gloomy again, and its tone was cold.
"Human, are you provoking me?"
"Believe it or not, I will sink Okinawa right now and let all the people of Okinawa be buried with you?"
"Ah, that's right, I don't believe it at all." Ye Shenkong retorted crisply.
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"If you can do it, why not do it for me now."
The moment he heard these words, compared to Xuke who was stunned in mid-air and could not react for a moment, the emotions of the girls beside him were a little more intense.
"Mr. Yagami, what are you talking about!"
At this moment, Momomiya Luye held his arms behind his back and said angrily towards Ye Shenkong.
"This is about the lives of more than one million people in Okinawa. How can you say such irresponsible words!"
In response, Ye Shenkong just smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes that he had found evidence, and spoke.
"Don't worry, Miss Momotiya, I think if it only relies on this level of deception, it will be completely impossible to destroy Okinawa."
"You mean...a deception?"
Hearing this, Momomiya Luye couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked quickly.
"Mr. Yagami, what's going on?"
"That's right." Ye Shenkong nodded affirmatively.
He pointed at the army of ugly ghosts in the sea and motioned for them to look over.
"Miss Momotong, please observe carefully."
"Those ugly ghosts who just appeared with Xiuke, their walking pace and range of movement are too uniform, as if they were carved from the same mold, and they are like shadow clones."
"This makes me have to consider the possibility that all these ugly ghosts are real."
"Once this assumption is made, it will be obvious why the other party deliberately chose to emerge from the sea."
"Reason? What is it?" Momomiya Luye asked subconsciously.
"It's the temperature." Ye Shenkong revealed the answer.
"Using the difference in density and refractive index caused by the temperature difference in the air on the sea surface, the other party can more easily create large-scale illusions and hide them from all of us."
Looking at Momomiya Luye who looked confused, Yagami Kong further explained.
"In other words, only a small part of the ugly ghosts that appear in front of us are real. Most of them are illusory things similar to mirages, which are a type of mirage."
"The so-called army of ugly ghosts is just simply intimidating us."
Hearing this, Momomiya Luye's mouth could not help but slowly opened wide, and the whole person had fallen into a state of complete confusion.
After a long while, he smoothed his tongue and said blankly.
"Mr. Yagami, can you get so much information just by relying on simple observation?"
"Of course it's not just that. If that's the case, it's not enough for me to bet the entire Okinawa Island." Yagami shook his head.
"Judging from the information fed back by previous hostile fluctuations, the number of enemies is indeed not small, but it does not reach such a terrifying scale at all."
"And the strange thing is that they are still quite far apart from each other, which is neither easy to attack nor conducive to defense, which is very puzzling."
"If I think about it now, this should be the opponent's position in order to cooperate with his mirage intimidation operation."
Having said this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xuke, who seemed to be nailed in the night.
"What I said is right, isn't it?"
At this time, Xike was no longer that cute face. At this time, it was covered with ferocious blood vessels, trembling and squirming like a striped worm.
Perfect interpretation of four words.
Frustrated.
It stared at Ye Shenkong fiercely, with an expression on its face that almost wanted to choose someone to devour, and a few words burst out from between its teeth.
"Human, who...are you?"
"Before asking the other party's identity, you should state your name first. This is the minimum respect." Ye Shenkong said calmly.
"Okay." Xiuke barely suppressed his overflowing murderous intention and gritted his teeth.
"Listen up, human beings. My identity is that of a great demon that has dominated neon lights for thousands of years. I can create a myriad of terrifying existences...
"Mirage demon!"
"Mirage demon?"
Hearing this name, Yashenkong finally lost his calm expression and spoke with some surprise.
"That's not a disaster for everyone..."
Looking at Yagami Kong's expression that finally changed, the mirage demon couldn't help but feel proud and elated.
Taking the first step, he nodded and replied proudly.
"Yes, I am one of the five great generals under Lord Fujin, the Water General of the Five Elements and the Mirage of Madness!"
Is he really a member of the Fujin Group...?
Looking at the mirage demon in front of him who was eager to answer, Ye Shenkong thought secretly in his heart.
Not only are things happening more and more frequently, but they are also becoming more and more blatant. It seems that the other party's organizational culture has changed...
Judging from this trend, it is no surprise that this organization is secretly planning some big move.
However, this mirage demon doesn't seem to recognize itself. Is it because he is still just a little minion in the eyes of the Fujin people, so is he not worthy of the vigilance of these generals?
Or should I say...
Has it not been notified yet?
After a brief thought, Ye Shenkong shook his head slightly.
Forget it, let's leave such small things to think about after we go back. For now, we still want to think about how to deal with this mirage demon.
In short, let’s try to figure out the other party’s purpose first…
While Ye Shenkong was thinking, the mirage demon in front of him said smugly.
"You actually know my name. It seems you are not an ordinary person."
"Then it's your turn now, human, tell me your name to my mirage demon!"
"That's good." Ye Shenkong nodded.
"My name is Sora Yagami, a second-year student at Shunoin, and I currently run a detective agency in Tokyo."
After he finished speaking, the mirage demon waited quietly for a while.
After a long while, it realized something belatedly and spoke in confusion.
"No more?"
"No more." Ye Shenkong nodded, confirming the other party's suspicion.
"Is it gone?" The mirage demon looked up and down Ye Shenkong suspiciously.
"Wait, isn't this right? A strong human like you should at least be the captain of the Yefu Team..."
"No, I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have any extraordinary power."
Facing the other party's doubts, Yashenkong answered frankly.
"Ordinary people?"
Upon hearing this word, the mirage demon was immediately frightened.
It quickly mobilized the sensory organs on its skin and scanned towards the night sky.
Then I was shocked to find out.
No matter how it scanned, it could not feel even a trace of spiritual power from Ye Shenkong.
That's right, the other person is an ordinary person through and through.
Turns out, he's just an ordinary person...
In an instant, the mirage demon was in a state of confusion.
My perfect plan was actually disrupted by an ordinary human...
For a moment, it couldn't help but tremble violently all over, and even its voice became sharp.
"Damn humans!"
"You... how dare you fool me, the mirage demon!"
"Go to hell now!"
"Attack, attack!"
As it roared, the ugly ghosts in the distance who had already charged up energy seemed to have received the signal, and the light balls from their mouths spurted out in unison.
In an instant, dozens of laser rays passed through the waves, leaving dents on the sea surface, and bombarded here.
Seeing this scene, before Yashenkong could react, the three girls in front of him suddenly made a move.
Everyone gathered in front of Yagami Kong and shouted one sentence in unison.
"Magical girl, transform!"
All of a sudden.
Pink, blue, and golden, three groups of gorgeous lights burst out from before their eyes, covering their bodies.
In the intense light group, their original clothes quickly disappeared, replaced by headbands of different colors, high knee socks, and the familiar anti-gravity dress.
But for the enemy's extremely fast attack, even the transformation in just a few seconds was too late to complete.
The next moment, the incoming laser beams were bombarding the magical girls who were transforming one after another. Light beams as thick as basketballs hit the transforming light, as if they could be easily annihilated.
Unexpectedly, those seemingly vulnerable groups of light turned out to be extremely strong at this moment, forming an unbreakable shield that blocked all attacks.
After the last ray of laser light dissipated, the transformation light that enveloped the three people slowly faded away, revealing three girls in magical girl costumes.
And, apparently, he was unscathed.
Looking at everything that happened before his eyes, Ye Shenkong suddenly realized.
No wonder the three of them had never transformed before. It turned out that they had made preparations in advance and wanted to use the short invincibility period provided by the transformation to offset the opponent's first wave of attacks?
What a smart tactic.
only......
The transformation process of a magical girl is somewhat difficult to describe.
"Magic Liberation, Magical Holy Sword, Red Flame Judgment!"
Immediately after completing the transformation, with a loud shout, the blazing red flame sword appeared again in the hands of Momomiya Shikaye.
His slender arms raised the heavy sword in front of him, and he aimed the sword tip at the group of ugly ghosts in front of him and said confidently.
"Then, get ready, everyone!"
"Yes!" The other two nodded in response.
Before the battle began, Momomiya Luye seemed to have remembered something, and turned back to ask Yashenkong.
"By the way, Mr. Yagami, I have forgotten to ask you this whole time, how does the transformation of the magical girl look and feel?"
"If you are illuminated by this light, you will feel warmth and hope from the bottom of your heart, right?"
"Light? What light?" Ye Shenkong was startled.
Momomiya Luye glanced at Yashenkong in surprise, and then explained.
"It's the light emitted when transforming. Mine is pink, Nao's is aqua blue, and senior's is golden..."
"Oh, is it the one you mentioned? Well, yes, it's very beautiful."
After hearing what the other party said, Ye Shenkong nodded belatedly and affirmed.
"Really? Does it look good? It's great if Mr. Yagami likes it." After hearing the other party's words, Momomiya Shikaha showed a bright smile.
"Then leave the rest to us!"
She turned around and pretended to leap into the sky.
"Miss Taogong, please wait a moment." Ye Shenkong suddenly called out to her.
"What, Mr. Yagami, do you have anything else to do?" Momomiya Luye turned around and asked in a strange way.
"It's not that important." Ye Shenkong looked slightly embarrassed.
"But next time you plan to transform, you can inform me in advance."
