It’s as if the child he brutally killed with his own hands was not the ‘child’ he had worked so hard to feed.
At the entrance of the alley, Toru Watanabe, who was wearing a dark suit, applauded Rosetta's unhesitating action, with a happy smile on his lips.
"A cruel spirit and a resolute will are the necessary qualities to lead to a free nature."
Raising her head to look at the visitor, Toru Watanabe's words and eyes made Rosetta feel extremely malicious. At the same time, he had a stronger and stronger sense of danger than the corpse dog she had killed before.
but……
The murderous impulse stemming from the blackened rosary has affected Rosetta.
The next moment, without any intention of listening to the other party's nonsense, he suddenly inserted the five fingers of his right hand into the gap in the wall beside him. In an instant, flying sand and rocks filled the sky, obscuring Toru Watanabe's sight.
With her keen intuition that has been further enhanced by her psychic powers, Rosetta can sense where the opponent is with almost no need for vision.
Therefore, just after this move.
Then, he closed his eyes, rushed forward without thinking, raised his hand and punched!
Boom! It was the feeling of hitting something, followed by a muffled sound of flesh and fist colliding, making one thing even more certain - hit!
but!
Similarly, Rosetta also knows one thing better.
That is, the physical quality of a monster like a 'cadaver dog' is completely different from the fragile body of a human species.
Injuries that would affect a human's combat effectiveness might be healed naturally in the blink of an eye on a cadaver dog.
So after the attack was successful, Rosetta did not take care of it, but took a step forward, as if the distance between him and Toru Watanabe had strangely shortened again, and instantly caught up with the flying body.
When he came out, his body was about to hit the wall, and he punched forward without any sound!
In the memory remaining in the blackened rosary, this is the secret sword called "Ghost" in the swordsmanship school "Riqu Hidden Fox Style" practiced by the Bakumatsu Jinzan. It is best at hiding from the opponent's sight.
Attacks from blind spots that are invisible to human vision.
From an outsider's perspective.
At that moment, Rosetta's arm seemed to suddenly disappear.
When he reappeared, the pinched knuckle fist had already appeared in front of Watanabe Toru's neck.
If a real sword were used to reproduce this "Secret Sword Ghost", with the extended attack distance, the opponent's head might have already flown up.
But there are no ifs in the world.
Relying on the neurological reaction speed brought about by becoming a cadaver dog that is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Toru Watanabe, half of his cheeks quickly covered with jet-black animal hair, has the ability to block this ‘Secret Sword Ghost’!
Hoo ho ho.
The strong wind generated by the collision dispersed the flying sand that blocked the view.
The two men, who had already had a confrontation in a short period of time, were immediately separated.
With a 'chi' sound, Toru Watanabe touched his neck, and saw a thread of warm blood flowing down from the shallow scar.
Although he reacted in time, it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage in the initial trial between the two sides.
"You were careless. I didn't expect that I would be the first to be injured. If you had reacted slower during that move just now, I'm afraid you would have ended the battle directly, right?"
Watanabe Toru grinned: "With your amazing determination, strong physical fitness, and almost instinctive killing skills, coupled with this naturally cold-blooded character that ignores laws and regulations, you seem to be more suitable to become a 'new human being' than me.
.”
"Are you interested in joining 'us'? After becoming a 'new human being', I guarantee with my life that you will definitely be much stronger than you are now, with enough power to support you to kill people at will!"
The body is hard to be injured, the nerve reaction speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, and it can be called an endless physical reserve...
I have to say that the conditions he gave are indeed generous enough for ordinary people.
The pursuit of becoming stronger and more perfect is the instinct of all living things. After witnessing the powerful vitality of monsters like 'Corpse Dogs' that can quickly recover even from broken bones, no one can refuse this temptation to surpass human limits.
.
If she hadn't awakened her psychic powers, maybe Rosetta would really be tempted by this proposal, even if she lost her human identity.
But as I said before, there are no ifs in this world.
"There's so much nonsense." Faced with Toru Watanabe's solicitation, Rosetta, who was affected by the side effects of the 'synchronicity memory', just calmly uttered such a sentence, and the next moment, he almost instinctively used his spiritual power to further deepen the 'synchrony'.
After taking the lead, using the footwork called "Shutchi", he punched out again, aiming directly at Watanabe Toru's vitals!
Still the ‘Secret Sword Ghost’.
But this is different from the first time you use it.
It was as if all the murderous intent accumulated while killing the corpse dogs lurking in this area had been restrained.
Using the skills in the deep memory that were further read through spiritual power after increasing the synchronization rate, Rosetta lowered her body, as if she had turned into a silent ghost, blending into the shadow. With just this one step,
His five fingers were like knives, breaking through the tough muscles and passing through the gaps between the ribs... and then, touching the beating heart!
Death has kissed the cheek.
Watanabe Toru could feel the cold wind blowing into his internal organs from the wound on his chest.
But at this moment, he still maintained a cheerful smile, because from this crisis on the verge of death, he also felt a kind of cruel pleasure, a kind of mellow intoxication, and... a kind of what human beings seem to be supposed to be.
'Natural nature'.
The ability to avoid the fact of ‘death’.
This is the truth about the so-called "superpowers" that the group of "resurrectionists" obtained from the death they once encountered physically.
People at the scene of a fire will long for the "strange power" that can move things, and people at the scene of a car accident will long for the "extreme speed" of being able to escape from a speeding car. The "natural nature" of this creature has a strong desire for survival.
, which is exactly what causes the 'rebirth phenomenon' to occur.
"Fear, uneasiness, fear...the breath secreted by the brain when it realizes that death is approaching, is exactly what Mr. Ishii said."
"It's truly wonderful."
Before he finished speaking, adrenaline was secreted, as if time slowed down at that moment.
It was just less than an inch away, and if Rosetta's hand moved forward a little further, she could tear out Toru Watanabe's beating heart.
But this short distance of less than an inch, at that moment, became an insurmountable chasm for Rosetta.
It was as if the body was filled with something invisible that expanded outward.
Being oppressed by external forces, something like 'wind pressure' or 'barrier' instantly pushes all debris out of the body from the inside out!
From the perspective of an uninformed outsider, it was like Toru Watanabe suddenly put on an invisible transparent raincoat. An invisible force field surrounded him to form a unique field, which was filled with a powerful outward force.
Repulsive force.
tread.
He stepped forward, crushing the accumulated dust.
Reaching out to caress the wound on his chest that had begun to heal, Toru Watanabe smiled and said: "Unlike those unfinished failed products, I am one of the stable products closest to completion among the new humans in Yichuan City.
[Mangliu] This kind of power is exactly the superpower I brought back from Huangquan Kingdom."
"If used for defense, the effectiveness of [Entangling Current] is as you can see. As long as I suffer any form of damage, the invisible field of repulsion will naturally radiate from my body, rejecting everything."
"And when used in attacks."
After a pause, he raised his hand and said softly: "Now, just come and experience it for yourself."
With the help of the psychological suggestion contained in the action of "raising his hand", the power called "entangling current" was activated long before the words fell. The invisible wind that originally wrapped around Watanabe Teru's body became active instantly, and after the transformation of form
, from the circular field, it turned into a straight beam bombardment!
There was almost no hesitation.
Rosetta retreated, once, and again, and in succession. With just a few clicks of his fingers and a crouching footwork, he was out of the range of his instinctive warning, and then the invisible force destroyed the entire alley instantly.
The shelling barely missed!
"Um...did you escape?"
Looking at the empty ruins in front of him, Watanabe Toru made a disappointed judgment. However, just at the moment when his spirit became relaxed, a hand with clear joints quietly appeared from the blind corner of his sight.
Hand it over to him!
Liqu Hidden Fox Style Swordsmanship.
——'Ghost Sword - Pure color is the beauty of heaven and man'!
Relying on the assassination swordsmanship, which is best at deceiving the eyes, the unidentifiable ghost handed over the invitation from the netherworld.
But before the secret sword hit, at some point, the disappointed look on Toru Watanabe's face had quietly turned into a smile.
"Do you really think that I will fall for you again after seeing you do this trick twice? Do you really think that I am not prepared in any way, knowing that you can use blind spots to get close to me?"
Shaking his head, Toru Watanabe did not speak further.
But the slightly weaker beam bombardment had already followed the line of sight and instantly and automatically bombarded the target that disturbed the wind and sound in the field!
The action of raising his hand is just a 'trigger' to trigger the superpower in the form of psychological suggestion. In fact, even without the action of raising his hand, he can still activate the "Tang Flow" immediately in his mind!
Even if the random beam bombardment in this state is weaker and less accurate, it is still fatal to a fragile human body!
Under such circumstances, can Rosetta escape this blow?
No, he doesn't need to hide!
Quietly, a hand with sharp joints suddenly penetrated from Watanabe's chest, holding his still beating heart between the five fingers. The position was exactly the same as what Watanabe sensed.
Wind and sound are disturbed in directions as far as the north and south.
"It's a pity that you are still a little too confident in your abilities."
"If this is not the case, even if I hide this hand, I may not be able to break through the layer of 'entanglement' around you if you remain vigilant."
A playful smile appeared on the corner of 'Rosetta''s mouth.
From behind Toru Watanabe, his unabashed malicious words sounded.
"I forgot to tell you one thing. The swordsmanship of my 'Riqu Hidden Fox Style' is more than just the 'Ghost' style secret sword that targets color dust." This chapter has been completed!
