7:50 pm, Tokyo, near Yotsuya Station.
It was approaching eight o'clock and it was already dark, but for this bustling metropolis, the nightlife had just begun.
On the road illuminated by various neon lights, pedestrians and vehicles are constantly coming and going.
Deep in a remote alley, a mustachioed man wearing a coat and hat was squatting outside the wall of a wooden building, holding a fiery red stone in one hand and writing vigorously on the ground. What symbol.
Not long after, this strange man stood up from the ground, and then pulled out animal carcasses one after another from a secluded corner nearby, piled them on the symbols, and quickly arranged the carcasses into a tower. Small hill.
After doing all this, the man with the mustache took out a stack of newspapers and a small bottle of kerosene, sprinkled the kerosene on the newspaper, then took out a box of matches and lit the newspaper.
Because of the combustion-supporting effect of kerosene, the newspaper burned instantly and the flames spread towards the wooden wall.
The man with the mustache looked at this scene, with a stern smile on his face, and suddenly read some strange notes in his mouth.
About ten seconds later, the man with the mustache suddenly spoke louder: "My good boy, under the power of the devil, absorb nutrients quickly and grow up quickly! Let us use the magic of fire to purify this dirty place. Dirty city!”
As the man with the mustache spoke, strange green runes suddenly jumped out one after another above the pile of corpses. The flames on the wooden wall that had just burned next to it instantly became stronger and spread to all directions. In a short time, Set the entire base of the wooden building on fire.
At the same time, in the flames and corpses, a strange force rushed towards the fiery red stone in the man's hand, and the red light on the stone became much brighter.
After a few seconds, the light on the fiery red stone dimmed, and the green runes on the corpse disappeared. The man with the mustache looked down at the stone in his hand, his sinister eyes flashing:
"...The energy gained from the fire ceremony tonight seems to be less than last night. Is it because the quality of the sacrifices has declined? Sure enough, the best sacrifices are human beings..."
The mustached man raised his head slightly, put the flaming red stone into his pocket, turned and walked out of the alley, with a sneer on his face: "...Since the flames prefer humans as sacrifices, then they will use them directly from now on. Humans! Anyway, in this dirty city, there are as many humans as you want..."
The man with the mustache muttered in his mouth, getting closer and closer to the entrance of the alley:
"...I have completed five places, and only one is left. As long as my fire celebration is completed, I will gain supreme power! By then, I will make this sinful city ignite countless red lotus flames... "
"...Hahaha...I can't wait..."
The man with the mustache spoke and walked into a car parked on the side of the road.
At the same time, in front of the gashapon machine at the entrance of the alley, Ayumi was holding a plastic toy egg of Masked Superman in her hand. She looked strangely at the man with a mustache who had already gotten on the car and blinked:
"...That squid is so strange, he smells stinky, and he said some incomprehensible words..."
Ayumi was wondering when a woman's voice came from next to her: "Ayumi, what are you doing here? Let's go home quickly!"
"Ah..." Ayumi was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran to the side of the woman, raised her head and smiled cutely:
"Okay, Mom."
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xifushan, in a cafe near the fire scene.
Shu Yunwen, Loli Ai, Kimijima Kana and others were sitting in a seat by the window. There were some drinks and cakes on the table in front of them. While waiting for Koizumi Anko, they were chatting and discussing the fire. .
Suddenly, the door of the cafe opened, and a woman in a purple dress walked in. Her eyes swept around the cafe, and finally landed on Shu Yunwen and the others.
Shu Yunwen and others saw the person coming, and quickly stood up and waved: "Classmate Xiaoquan, we are here."
A smile appeared on Koizumi Anko's cold face, and then she quickly walked to Shu Yunwen's table, sat down next to Kimijima Kana, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I was delayed for some time because of some things. …”
"Hahaha... nothing!~" Shu Yunwen smiled and asked casually, "By the way, Xiaoquan-san, have you had dinner? Do you want something to eat?"
"Thank you for your kindness. I've already eaten. Just give me a glass of water." Koizumi Anko replied casually, then looked at the people around her and asked strangely, "...Sumi-kun Didn’t I accompany you today?”
"She made an appointment with her cousin to go shopping together today~" Shu Yunwen replied with a smile. After the waiter brought a glass of warm water, Koizumi Hongzi took a sip of water and then asked:
"Classmate Yunwen, the fire scene you mentioned..."
"It's not far from us. This cafe is probably less than two hundred meters away." Shu Yunwen pointed to the approximate location, and then said seriously: "... around seven o'clock, we found the place, we can conclude , the runes there are Chi You runes!”
Koizumi Hongzi nodded when he heard this, then frowned and said: "...Before today, I had only heard of serial arson cases. Before coming here, I asked the housekeeper to help me find relevant news and then I found out that The arsonist seems to have killed someone..."
"Yes!" Shu Yunwen nodded, and Koizumi Hongzi said softly: "Since a life has been caused, we must not spare him..."
"That's right!"
Shu Yunwen and Koizumi Hongzi chatted briefly, and then Koizumi Hongzi took out the scroll of the Fire God Sacrifice Technique from under her skirt and said: "Classmate Yunwen, this is the scroll you asked me to bring. "
Shu Yunwen thanked him, then took the scroll, slowly unfolded it, and read it carefully——
On this scroll, the detailed process of performing the Fire God Sacrifice Technique is written in detail.
As for the specific content, it is nothing more than finding the sacrifice target, writing runes, offering tributes, chanting incantations, completing fire sacrifices, etc.
In the annotation of this scroll, in order to complete the "fire sacrifice" on the scroll, six fires need to be created. There is no hard requirement for the location of the fire, but the distance between each fire scene cannot exceed 20 kilometers, and the sacrificer must write six different runes at the six fire scenes.
Shu Yunwen's eyes passed over the scroll, and then fell directly on the fourth rune, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
Seeing this, Koizumi Hongzi quickly asked: "Classmate Yunwen, what's wrong?"
Shu Yunwen pointed to the fourth rune on the scroll with a serious smile on his face:
"...The Chi You rune left at the fire scene here is exactly the same as the fourth Chi You rune above!"
