There was only an old figure sitting in the empty conference hall.
The incandescent light at the top of the hall had been extinguished at some point, leaving only the candlelights diffused on both sides of the room. They were distorted by light and dark at the intersection of light and shadow.
An old man with pale hair and a kind face was sitting there on his knees. He had his eyes closed and seemed to be meditating and resting his mind.
The flickering candlelight shone on his face, but it was a bit out of place, adding a touch of weird mystery to the man's gentle temperament.
At a certain moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared at a dark corner in front of him. In the corner, there was an inexplicable figure wearing a black windbreaker, and his long shadow was stretched very long in the light of the candlelight.
"They are coming?" The old man's lips trembled slightly and his voice was calm and soft.
"Your guess is correct, they are coming." A black figure came out from the corner, but the voice was unusually hoarse. It was like a beast suppressing something.
"I laid a large number of mercury alchemy broadsword mines specially prepared by the Rock Flow Research Institute to target hybrids. Each of them is as powerful as three or four high-explosive tank shells.
Being laid on the floor underground of the reservoir, after the C4 time bomb is detonated, all people entering will be covered in the attack range. In the case where I specifically targeted them, they will be exploded no matter where they are.
heartland.
Even a real dragon will be destroyed in an instant, and no one can escape from it. You made a very wise choice by revealing this information to the Dragon King of the Fierce Ghosts."
The shadow's voice revealed unabashed admiration for the man.
But the man did not show the excitement of the shadow. He looked at the darkness behind the shadow, his face showing deep contemplation.
"What I don't quite understand is why did Sir release those things? Once those things are released, the Sheqi family will face serious casualties, and the consequences will directly affect Sir. If you don't handle it well,
If it's good, you might also..."
"You talk too much."
The man's kind and gentle face was suddenly torn to pieces by a pair of cruel pupils. A shadow hit his face, like an evil ghost with a scythe lowered. He stared at the black figure in the corner, like a lion.
Look at the mouse at your feet.
The shadow's voice was dull for a moment. He had forgotten! He was confused by the man's kind face. Only then did he clearly remember how fierce this man had been. He was definitely not so kind on the surface. He was the real one.
An out-and-out executioner.
The air fell into absolute coldness.
The old man knelt on his seat, and whirlpools seemed to be condensing in his deep eyes. He was meditating on something, and seemed to be hesitating about something. Time passed by his old fingertips.
After a long time, his voice slowly came out from the air.
"Your attack methods may not be useful to them. An unexpected being came among the fierce ghosts. The king used intercontinental missiles without authorization. He did not stay with them even though the two of them were seriously injured. Instead, he killed himself
Once I get involved, this is a difficult opponent and also a very powerful opponent. I must pay attention to it. I cannot let unknown factors affect the progress of my plan."
There was a deep look in Tachibana Masamune's eyes. What he didn't tell the shadow was that he didn't know whether the other party would come. He even wondered whether this matter was caused by some unknown force testing him.
In this way, a being appeared within the fierce ghosts that he could not control. He no longer trusted them. The only means he had now was to rely on the Sheqi Eight Families. For this, he made two preparations.
This move was entirely out of caution. When the letter appeared inexplicably in his room, he had already set up a defensive retreat for himself.
Since there was no information about the battle in Kobe last night, he had already started to prepare when it came. This may be a killing situation for him, but he is confident that he can turn the killing situation into a victory.
Now the defensive alarm is sounding.
Then it's time for you to enter after all.
"It's almost time. Where are they?" Masamune Tachibana slowly straightened up, his whole body like a sword spinning in its scabbard. His sword had been sealed in dust for decades, but it was still as sharp as ever.
"Minamoto Chisheng and the others were surrounded by the Deadpools who emerged from the pupae there. According to the number of Deadpools in the elevator shaft, it would be difficult for them to get out in a short time, but the members of the Sheqi Eighth Family commanded by Kaguya are
On the way here, including the time for the two parties to meet, it will take about fifteen to twenty minutes."
"That's enough, let's get started!"
The moment Tachibana Masamune's voice landed, a huge aura was suddenly released from his body.
The cross-legged body underneath had already stood on the wooden board in a half-squat and forward-bending posture. The sword had not yet been taken out of the sheath, but the aura shrouding the blade was rolling up the curtain of the conference hall wantonly. This is also known as Iaido.
The starting position of Battōdo emphasizes instantaneous absolute speed and instantaneous explosive power. Masamune Tachibana has been in Japan for many years and is well versed in this aspect.
The rolling air waves pushed down the candles in the room, and darkness enveloped the room for a while. The curtains were blown up by the swaying wind, completely exposing the figure hidden in the darkness in the conference room.
Tachibana Masamune's body disappeared from the place in an instant.
A burst of dazzling sparks shined in the air like fiery trees and silver flowers.
The next second.
boom!
A figure disappeared from the place like a cannonball, smashing the shrine at the end of the conference hall into pieces.
Time stood still, and the suppressed candle began to gradually regain its light.
The dark room gradually became clear and bright.
Tachibana Masamune suddenly broke out from the ruins of the shrine. He could not imagine that the other party would use such manic power against him.
With his messy hair, his angry eyes stared at the figure opposite him, and the unspeakable words in his heart surged from his neck like a tide and would eventually turn into a scolding.
Can!
Tachibana Masamune suddenly stared at the figure opposite and was stunned.
Looking at the erect figure among the candles that gradually became normal, his brows were knitted together tightly.
On the other side of the corner, two figures one behind the other slowly walked out from another corner,
What makes people feel extremely strange is that the two people look exactly the same, like twins. What's even weirder is that the latter one holds a long knife across the neck of the former one.
Seeing this scene, Tachibana Masamune suddenly realized something.
"It was you guys from the beginning?!" Tachibana Masamune's voice was roaring. He was extremely angry now. He felt like he was crazy about having his private things exposed in public.
"You are too cautious." Kazama Liuli's voice sounded from the side.
"You actually found a guy who looks exactly like me. If I'm not wrong, are you going to stage a life-and-death stage play in front of my brother?!" Kazama Ruri's voice suddenly became fierce.
The long knife in his hand slashed across the neck of the man in front of him without hesitation.
Blood splattered all over the wall.
Plop.
The figure that looked exactly like Kazama Ruri slowly fell to the ground.
"What I hate the most is people imitating me!"
He slowly took out a stack of square towels from his waist and carefully wiped the blood on the long knife.
Tachibana Masamune looked at this scene without saying a word, but stared at the man in front of him. After being surprised at the beginning, his whole body actually became normal. He suppressed his anger in his chest.
He took the initiative to look at the man standing in front of him and said, "You're not dead?"
"You are looking forward to my death?" Fu Nian tilted his head.
Tachibana Masamune suddenly laughed ferociously, "No, no, no, compared to you who died directly, you now can make me have greater desire."
He seemed to understand something, and his laughter contained the joy of awakening.
