8:40 am, Qiongge Island, Yinshi Shenfeng.
Agent Will was walking on the snow-capped mountains. A high school girl wearing a down jacket followed behind him, her ponytail trembling on the back of her head. They had bypassed the main peak that had been the stronghold of the Hundred Woe Ghosts and were climbing a remote mountain that few people knew about.
"Yawn~ Mr. Will, let's talk." Izumo Rina rubbed her eyes, "You have been looking for a whole day and a night. What are you looking for? You have eliminated all the evil spirits on this mountain in the past few days. , besides that, there’s nothing else.”
Will has been on Yamato Island some time ago, and I heard that he was tracing a past event with the ninjas. For some reason, he suddenly came to Qongo Island a few days ago and wandered around like an explorer.
As a conscientious guide, Rina and the agents visited all the places on the island: the hinterland of the mountain that was once the stronghold of the evil ghost, the gathering place at the foot of the mountain, the once-abandoned mine... But Will couldn't find it. Something he wants. He even started walking aimlessly since yesterday, as if he wanted to walk all over the island with his feet.
"I'm looking for a possibility." The agent said vaguely, "Miss Rina, I would like to ask you for knowledge about local traces."
"You mean that gods and Buddhas are in harmony."
Rina felt that the agent must know this little bit of knowledge. His question was not so much asking for advice, but rather wanting to use his own explanation to help him clarify his thinking.
"Local traces, the Lord of Buddhism and the followers of God. This is the fusion of the two cultures of Buddhism and Shintoism on Lingdao. The gods have always had a lofty status here on Lingdao. In order to preach to the people, the monks in the past said The gods are all incarnations of the Buddha, and what everyone has always believed in is actually the Buddha rather than the gods. In other words, the Buddha is the local place, and the gods are the traces."
Will took out his notebook and made two notes.
"Indigenous religion is still the mainstream of Lingdao faith today. The monks in the past failed."
"Yeah~" Rina raised her head proudly, "Priests and shrine maidens are not stupid. The reverse is also true. The shrine maidens at that time said the other way around. It was actually the lay monks who confused the priorities of things. The real local traces are the masters of gods and the followers of Buddha. The gods are the local masters, and the Buddha is the trace of the incarnation. So, we still win the battle for faith."
"Priority is reversed." Agent Will seemed to be thinking about something, "The struggle for the subject's rights...the combination of gods and Buddhas..."
Agent Will took a few steps forward and stood near the top of the mountain. He suddenly asked: "What is the Buddhist practice of Fujin God?"
"Futsujin-sama is the most powerful god in Nanyao Shinto, so she also corresponds to the Buddha who is the most powerful among the monks." Rina quickly remembered this little knowledge, "I remember it was Mahavairocana."
"The Great Sun Tathagata..."
Whether it was an illusion or not, Agent Will, who had always been calm, looked a little gloomy at the moment. He stepped down with his right foot, and the whole mountain shook violently, like a sign that a volcano was about to erupt!
Rina's face turned pale. She clutched the agent's windbreaker tightly, muttering in her mind that it was over, over, over, over. When the earthquake finally stopped, the little witch stretched out her head nervously, and then let out a shocked cry.
"Eight million gods!"
The snow is flying and the earth is torn apart. It was like a giant god carrying a huge ax to cut the mountain, splitting the majestic mountain range from the middle!
Rina stuck her head out in shock, expecting to see the raging magma deep in the mountain, but what she saw was a rich blood color that could not be melted away. The crimson blood-like power turned into a majestic temple-like building in the mountain. The blood surged upward like lightning, seeming to rush out of the sacred mountain and infect the outside world!
Agent Will slapped the ground and locked the mountaintop with a silver cross beam. The avalanche was stopped by his power before it started. He jumped into the depths of the mountains alone and jumped into the bottomless blood.
Rina waited for a long time before she saw the agent returning from the mountain. He was holding a huge ruby in his hand, almost as tall as a person. Will clasped his hands together, and the once-separated mountains closed together. He wrapped silver iron chains around the gems he brought out, and handed them to the witch behind him.
"...Huh?" Rina almost didn't catch it. The gem was much heavier than she thought, "Mr. Will?"
Will gestured for her to be quiet for now. Without any further explanation, Will immediately took out a talisman. The talisman's light lit up and secretly sent a communication request to someone far away in the sky.
"Is Director Liu Zhongwu here?" Will rarely raised his voice, "I am Special Agent Will, and I have important matters to discuss with him!!"
On the other side of the spell, Li Jun's voice was filled with unspeakable confusion: "I'm sorry, the director went to the airport to greet you...?"
Install the latest version. 】
Will knew something was wrong.
"I'm still on Zero Island."
"...!" Li Jun reacted quickly, "I will immediately arrange who among the agents I can trust!"
Will grabbed the sluggish miko and ran down the mountain quickly.
"Anselda, Morin, and Einstein. The rest are considered enemies."
"clear!"
There was no time for any more nonsense, so Li Jun quickly ended the communication. Agent Will placed the witch and the gem on a small fishing boat and said quickly: "Protect the things. Remind Gongsun Ce that his first goal is to protect himself. Tell them that I am on my way."
After saying this, Will rose into the sky and flew like a rocket.
Before Rina's mouth closed, her fingers were already moving subconsciously. She quickly dialed her junior brother's number, but received a prompt to shut down her phone.
"God bless Fujin..." Rina put down her phone anxiously and contacted another former teammate. The little witch couldn't stop thinking about what happened...
What happened to the capital of the sky?
·
Time goes back to nearly an hour ago.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Bao reorganized his new revenge plan and felt confident.
"White face, invisibility cloak, silent device, anti-gravity levitation shoes... no problem! This way, no one in the city can spot me!"
Chen Bao smiled sinisterly and put on a full set of equipment. This time, her body completely disappeared from ordinary people's perception. Even the person with the most acute sense of superpower would not be able to detect the existence of a person in this room unless he collided head-on with Chen Bao's body.
She ran out the door happily and started taking action according to the plan she made yesterday. Soon, an enemy she deeply hates will pass by nearby, and she can't wait to take revenge!
The telepathic weapon "Hakumen Kai 5.53" faithfully functions, reducing the presence of dust blasts. Chen Bao didn't know that this was a piece of equipment that could only be used by clear spellcasters. She just put it on normally...
The mask is working normally.

"Good morning, Sky City?~"
At 8:10 in the morning, Qiluo was humming a song on the bus and updating her anonymous discussion thread.
The busy idol activities came to an end yesterday, and now Miss Qiluo can fully enjoy her daily life. Since she gained the ability to control information, she didn't have to worry about being traced, so she secretly created a thread on the anonymous forum, using it like a diary to write about trivial things in life or embarrassing moments.
【(???) Today I am playing games with the boy I have a crush on, I am so nervous! 】
【(`д′)’s attempt to make biscuits failed...】
【(|||?Д?)The restricted animation that I like to watch privately has been discovered! 】
Whenever this happens, netizens who are not too concerned about the excitement will post [(`ヮ′)σ`?′)???)σ] to make fun of it below.
Qiluo had never expected to get any sincere feedback before, and occasionally sent messages as a way to relieve stress. The night before yesterday, she went home and sent a message [(-д-) I confessed my love to the boy I had a crush on today, I hope the relationship will succeed] and then went to bed. Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next morning, she didn’t receive the emojis that netizens used to make fun of. , but received many sincere blessings.
[Po is a good girl, everything will go smoothly] [|??Po is not a fat girl, he will definitely not fail] [(??Д?) How many times have I told you not to hurt fat people’s hearts by talking about love in anonymous forums! Gan, single Feifei, I wish you success]
Qiluo was very touched. She didn't expect that she would actually receive the blessing. She mustered up her energy, carefully planned her weekend itinerary, and decided to start taking action early on Saturday morning.
【(*???) Today I bought some snacks and went to visit us! I want to take the initiative! 】
The bus has arrived. Qiluo pressed the send button, shouted to herself in her heart to come on, and walked out of the bus nervously and happily.
There are many tall towers in the Thorn District, and the shadow of the huge white tower envelopes the residences. Gongsun Ce's apartment is not far away, just ten minutes' walk away. Qiluo checked the time. Gongsun Ce should have just gotten up at this point. She had enough time to run to knock on the door and give him a surprise attack.
"good……?"
Qiluo was just about to say cheers to herself when she saw an acquaintance walking by not far away.
"Oops~"
It's Ayane, the doctor's good friend. The little girl came bounding over with her hands behind her back, looking up at her.
"It's Qiluo~ I didn't expect to see you here."
Qiluo quickly hid the snacks behind her back and said awkwardly: "Ah haha, I am the one who should say this. Why did Ayane come to the Thorny Area?"
"I have important things to do!" the little girl said happily, "Well...well! This is good too. This is much more convenient. Come with me quickly and hurry up!"
Ayane grabbed her arm and ran towards the alley between residential buildings. "Little Ayane?" Qiluo felt confused. She ran a few steps and reached the middle of the alley.
At this time, Qiluo's instinctive perception made her alert. She senses a mysterious follower who might get Ayane into trouble.
"Ayane-chan, wait a moment!"
Qiluo stood still and grabbed the girl's wrist.
"I……?!"
Qiluo couldn't finish. Genuine surprise interrupted her words.
Ayane is a thin child. No matter how weak her physical strength is, as an adult she should be able to stop the opponent's actions. But the feeling coming from her hands didn't feel like she was holding back a child. The huge difference in strength seemed like she was trying to pull a mountain range out of control.
Qiluo suddenly fell to the ground. Ayane ran forward two steps before stopping and standing with his back to her.
"Xiao Qiluo." The girl said.
"It's not a good thing to feel too keenly," she said.
"Originally, it will be over soon. But now, you are going to be scared." It said.
It turned its head, but its body did not move. Only its head turned 180°. It still had the same smile on its face as before, but now it looked evil, as coquettish as an adult. The childish face cracked bit by bit, the white skin melted, and the true inner self hidden under the girl's disguise appeared. It was a bloody light that seemed familiar!
Qiluo will not forget her memory, she remembered this bloody body in an instant. So she tried her best to use her abilities to send warnings to everyone she knew and the people she cared about most——
"——!"
But the message failed to reach the alley, and the information she sent was intercepted by some strange force. It was as if she was in the devil's world!
Qiluo couldn't do anything anymore. She realized that the moment she came into contact with the monster, the outcome was already doomed. With the last glimmer of hope, she opened her lips——
Then, a bloody light occupied her vision.
·
Licking.
chew.
Devour.
After filling his stomach, he sighed happily.
She, it, the world, completed a feeding. The feeling of fullness brought joy, and joy brought new hunger and thirst. It returned to Ayane's form and captured new sounds.
"what do you……"
At the entrance of the alley, there are three men in black clothes. The leader had yellow hair, and his right hand holding the pistol was trembling.
Ah, panic, terror, wonderful emotions. Delicious emotions.
"Monster!! Die!!!"
Gunshots fired. red light. The sea of blood overflowed. Have a great time.
It returned to Ayane's appearance and walked out of the alley with a smile.
"Who's next~"
"Let's play ghost and catch people, the game starts now!"
·
Cover your lips tightly.
Make no sound.
Stiffly, sluggishly, he watched that thing pass him by.
The equipment worked.
It didn't find itself.
It ignores its own existence.
The luck of escaping from death and the joy of surviving a catastrophe surged into my heart for a moment, but what followed was the fear and madness that were firmly suppressed. She cried out of panic and sat alone on the roadside, crying like a child in panic.
"……………………Woo!"
I want to forget the facts, I want to turn around and run away, I want to return home as if nothing happened. But Yun Yinglang couldn't do it, she couldn't do it, because she clearly heard the girl's last voice just before she was swallowed.
——Run away.
That was for her.
Qiluo actually didn't notice anything unusual about the monster at all. What she found was herself secretly following behind.
"Woo...Woo..."
It took three attempts to regain normal breathing. It took five attempts to stand up. Then she, Yun Yinglang, tried her best to suppress her tears and ran towards the street while remaining invisible.
The fact that she was rescued made her feel extremely painful. Her self-esteem, struggling under the oppression of fear, made her act almost instinctively.
"Stop... stop looking down on others!!"
We cannot sit idly by. Can't turn a blind eye. Because the fact that she was saved was deeply imprinted on her heart. No matter what method you use, no matter who you ask for help... you must, absolutely do something!
It seemed that fate finally hung its golden thread on her.
Chen Bao, who was running around the city crying, saw a dark hope.
