Outside the Shikami Well Oasis.
The night sky was like ink, no stars or moonlight could be seen, only the cold wind howled.
The silent Shishenjing Lake is where this Nuo-style Nuo formation will be arranged.
Clusters of fire can be seen dancing in the darkness, and red light is projected into the lake.
Many exorcists wearing Nuo masks were busy doing something near the fire.
Kamiyagawa's current location is on the other side of the Nuo formation. With him are Onitsuka Kirihotaru and other official spirit exterminators.
"It didn't rain tonight...but it's quite close to the lake."
"It's very appropriate that I was arranged to guard outside the Shishenjing Oasis. According to Satoru's future vision, the breeders and the plague gods will rush to the Nuo formation... It's still unclear where the breeders will attack between the haunted house and the Nuo formation. If I'm too far away from the Nuo formation, I might miss them."
Unlike the other spirit-killing masters who were in a state of preparedness, Kamiya was holding the unsheathed Nanquan Yiwen and sitting casually on the bank of the lake. His thoughts were divergent. He looked at the Nuo formation on the other side from time to time, and looked up at the darkness from time to time. Sky.
After a while, Onizuka Kiri Hotaru, who had a bow hanging on his waist, came over with a large handful of yellow paper charms, and sat down quietly next to Kamiyagawa.
The two just sat and didn't speak.
During the past three days, although the two of them stayed near the Ciji Haunted House, the little witch was too busy and had been accompanying Grandma Gu to check the details of the preparations for the Nuo-chasing ceremony.
So these two good friends didn't talk or get along very much.
After sitting for a while, the little witch hugged her knees with her hands and said softly: "During the day, this place is obviously very beautiful."
"Well, I saw it yesterday."
"right."
The two were silent for a while.
Then it was the little witch who spoke first: "Kamigu, are you afraid? My mother-in-law said that the plague god will be very strong."
Kamiyagawa did not answer immediately.
He turned back and looked at the little witch's face, watching the night wind blow her hair away.
It seems that he wants to see something from the other party.
After staring like this for a while, he said: "If you are afraid, you are still a little bit scared."
"Eh? I thought you would be very handsome and tell me that you are not afraid." The little witch laughed out loud, her beautiful almond eyes shining brightly, "But to be honest, I am also a little scared now... If it were before, I wouldn't be afraid,
Being a spirit slayer is always dangerous, and I was mentally prepared for it. "
After speaking, perhaps feeling that she should boost morale at this time, she patted her chest again and added:
"However, we don't need to be too nervous. The Nuo chasing formation is perfectly arranged, and we will definitely win in the end."
"Well, we're going to win."
silence.
"By the way, Kamiya. Tomorrow we..."
"Wait, look over there."
Before the little miko could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kamiyagawa, who raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the lake.
There, the exorcists wearing masks of the god Fang Xiang began to dance ancient and wild ritual dances around the bonfire. ….They hold hands, lift their feet, spin in circles, and shake their bodies.
One after another figures disappeared and appeared in the flickering firelight.
The dance is mysterious and simple. Whether it is the dancer or the spectator, the spine and brain seem to be trembling with the dance steps.
At the same time, there was a low voice singing from the direction of the Nuo array:
"Decorating splendid seals to offer wine, and using poems on a bright night. Women sing and dance in the winter, and gentlemen are drunk and ask questions about the sky..."
Kamiyagawa and Onitsuka Kiriho stopped chatting and stood up from the ground at the same time.
The other spiritual masters in the surrounding area also looked towards the other side of the lake with different expressions, and the light spots of the bonfire in the darkness were reflected in everyone's eyes.
"The Nuo array has started to activate?"
"Um."
The Shishenjing Oasis where the Nuo Formation is located is one kilometer away from the Ciji Haunted House.
It is definitely not possible to directly see the situation of the haunted house here.
But Granny Gu, who is leading the Nuo formation tonight, has been keeping in touch with Yuuki Makiyu who is staying at the haunted house.
The Nuo array here is opened, which means-
Over there in the haunted house, the plague god is coming.
…
at the same time.
Jodo Shinshu Minami Honganji Temple.
This is the family temple of the Kanazawa monk.
Kido Keiko, who was born with two daughters by a breeder, has been staying here since she was rescued by Kamiyagawa that night.
I usually just eat fast, recite Buddha's name, and listen to monks reciting Buddhist sutras.
This is used to appease Futakuchi, who goes crazy from time to time.
The masters of Jodo Shinshu master a set of Buddhist magic methods to reduce the evil spirits and resentment of ghost talk.
Staying here to cultivate one's character has indeed calmed down Futakunu's riot to a certain extent.
But things were different tonight.
The side hall of the Buddhist temple.
In front of the gold-plated Buddha statue.
"Nawu, Aoye, Polu Jiedi, Shuo Boye..."
Monk Kanazawa, his uncle Master Huiming, and several other Honganji monks were sitting around chanting sutras.
Among several monks, Kido Keiko was sitting.
When listening to Buddhist scriptures these past two days, Kido always felt physically and mentally relaxed and at peace.
But now the wheat-colored JK is not in a good condition. There is sweat on his forehead, and his temple hair is stained with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.
Her face was sickly red, and her breathing was very uneven, fast and slow, and every time she seemed to be labored.
"Bodhisattva's posture is pong, Mahasattva's posture is pong, Maha, Kalunigaya..."
The monks lowered their eyes and read for a while.
The lights in the side hall began to flicker, flickering on and off.
A thin figure crawled out from under Kido Keiko's body, twitching and twisting.
It’s a Futakuchi girl who hasn’t appeared again in a long time!
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so hungry! So hungry!"
Bang bang bang!
The hair on Futakuchi's head moved like tentacles, and the big mouth on the back of her neck opened painfully.
She almost went crazy and kowtowed to the monks and masters present.
Bang bang bang!
Blood flowed down the bruised forehead.
The Futakuchi woman rushed towards Seira Kanazawa who was chanting sutras with her eyes lowered!
But the monks were also prepared.
", Sa Bo is punished and dragged, count and write!"
Several illusory barriers emitting peaceful blessings appeared, and the mage present, as well as Kido Keiko, were isolated from Futakuchi. ….Bang!
Futakuchi hit the Buddha's light barrier, twitched in pain and fell to the ground.
"sorry Sorry!"
But she didn't seem to give up, struggling desperately, becoming more and more crazy and uncontrollable, twisting her thin body and hitting the Buddha's Light Barrier again.
Bang!
Bang!
After a few times, the leader, Master Huiming, raised his eyelids and said: "The seed ghost is going crazy abnormally, and there is something about raising the dead. Go and notify Yuki Masakiyu!"
"I know, uncle."
After listening to his uncle's words, Monk Kanazawa stood up quickly and walked out.
In the side hall, the chaos continued.
Bang!
Bang!
"I'm sorry! I'm so hungry! So hungry!"
Crazy roar.
"Mom... stop it!"
A heavy cry of pleading.
"Nawu, Xijili Province 14 Lishaoye, Emperor Baluji..."
There is no emotion, just the sound of chanting without stopping.
…
Ciji Haunted House.
The strong smell of blood and rot mixed together was nauseating.
The strong evil aura is visible to the naked eye.
Every one of the spiritual masters staying here is as if they are facing a formidable enemy.
Change comes quickly.
On the empty third and a half floors of the haunted house, large areas of rotten flesh sprouted from the floor, walls, and ceiling.
These rotten flesh twisted like seaweed swaying in the waves, and proliferated rapidly, and soon adhered into a large piece, turning into a mass of scarlet squirming flesh.
Puff, puff.
The rotten flesh that constantly secreted turbid yellow mucus slapped and blended with each other, gathering more and more, and squirmed outward from the three and a half layers.
Wherever they pass, everything they come into contact with is swallowed up and enveloped by them.
Soon, the entire haunted house was covered with thick walls of fat flesh.
"Look at the haunted house!"
"The haunted house comes to life!?"
Puff, puff.
The flesh and blood squirmed, the flesh sprouts grew, and the completely wrapped haunted house seemed to have come to life, turning into an indescribable behemoth.
Puff, puff.
The flesh and blood gathered inside the haunted house began to grow wildly upwards, turning into a long column of disgusting flesh.
The turbid yellow mucus flows freely on the surface of the flesh column, and some colorful feathers emerge from the scarlet flesh and are stuck by the mucus.
After a while, the entire meat column was completely wrapped in the strange colorful feathers.
On the top of the feather-meat pillar, two red round eyes were squeezed out from the flesh.
"hiss--!"
Colorful Feather Pillar is obviously a living creature.
Its red eyes widened, it let out a feminine scream, and began to twist its body, hovering over the Ciji Haunted House.
Thick yellow slime splattered everywhere.
"what is that?"
"The God of Plague, the God of Plague is here!"
"Don't get caught in its slime!"
"The long-haired plague ghost...this is Mao Feiyuappear! This plague god is Maoyuappear!"
"No chaos, everyone, keep your positions!"
"..."
The strange scene in front of them and the oppressive force brought by the huge strange stories that penetrated people caused the exorcists who stayed nearby to fall into a brief panic.
However, they are highly trained professionals.
Most people calmed down quickly, took out the capsule-shaped medicine and swallowed it quickly. ….This medicine was distributed by the organization before the operation, and it has a certain effect against the sneaky plague.
Although it is definitely not as good as the medicine sold by the medicine seller, it is still not a problem for a short period of time to resist the poisonous miasma caused by the thick yellow water on the battlefield.
After taking the medicine, the spiritual masters, under the leadership of their respective captains, began to attack the plague god entrenched in mid-air as planned.
"Drive this disgusting thing toward the Nuo formation!"
"Load the peach wood crossbow and pull the reed arrows!"
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
"..."
The nearby mahogany crossbow began to aim and pull the string, and the arrows made of reeds were ignited in clusters, exuding a strange smell of vanilla and medicine, and shot through the air.
puff!
puff!
The plague god hovering in mid-air has a huge target.
The reed arrows appear to be soft and weak, but as long as they hit the strip-shaped body of the Plague God, they will pass through the loose colorful feathers like blood-sucking leeches and crazily burrow under its flesh. .
The squirming flesh touched by the hot arrow was stung and burned to pieces.
In addition to the smell of rot and herbs, there was also the stench of burnt minced meat in the air.
"hiss--!"
The plague god was in pain and roared again.
It pulled up the flesh and blood tissue in the haunted house and crashed downwards, but when its body hit the cinnabar charms and lucky bean salt on the side of the road, it quickly retracted like an electric shock.
This plague god who came to reality under the influence of the breeder is very strong.
Even if he is encouraged by others, he still has B-level strength.
However, the peach bow, reed arrows, and the Fudou processed in a chasing Nuo style are themselves the natural nemesis of the plague’s strange characteristics!
Even if he is as strong as the Plague God, he will not be able to break through the obstacles of Fu and Fudou on both sides of the road.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Another round of lit reed arrows was fired.
In the dark night, red arcs with sparks were drawn.
"hiss--!"
The colorful feathers on the body of the Plague God burned, and large globs of thick yellow water splashed and shook off.
In the end, it could only twist its huge strip-shaped body like a giant maggot, heading towards the route designed in advance by the official exterminators to avoid the dense flaming arrows.
It roared and squirmed in the direction of the Nuo formation.
The official exorcists spent so much time preparing the arrangements in advance.
Outstanding effect!
…
The middle section of the path from the Haunted Mansion to the Shikami Oasis.
The peach wood ballista group numbered 77.
Okawa Sadahisa took a large bunch of reed arrows from his colleagues and loaded them on the crossbow cart.
ignition.
Pull the string.
Uh-huh!
The arrow was shot out, hitting the plague god who fled in a hurry, making him a perfect target.
"hiss--!"
The huge monster twisted its body and roared. Under the burned colorful feathers, large areas of flesh and blood swelled and twisted.
"Hey! Hit! Die! Disgusting monster!"
Okawa Sadahisa excitedly pumped his fists, his pupils reflected the sky full of streamers of fire.
Okawa is a non-staff member of the Special Investigation Countermeasures Room. Like Kamiyakawa, he is also from Nojiko.
His guarantor and guide is named Maeshima Chaoichi, a spiritual exorcist who teaches Shintoism in his family. Maeshima was also the captain of the No. 77 ballista team in this operation to defeat the plague god. ....Due to lack of manpower, Captain Maeshima successfully brought Okawa Sadahisa into this operation.
"Dachuan, fill up the reed arrows again!"
Captain Maeshima, who was controlling the ballista, was full of fighting spirit.
"I'm coming."
Okawa Dingjiu did as he was told, and another flaming reed arrow shot out of the air.
Other ballista groups on the middle path also adhered to their duties and performed actively like Group 77.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the Plague God continued to be pushed forward, gradually leaving the shooting range.
Although the peach crossbow reed arrows are easy to use, the arrows are made of straw after all. They will lose power after being shot in the air for a while, and the range is short. Otherwise, there would not have been such a dense formation of ballistae along the route.
"Although this plague god has a terrifying aura, it seems to be nothing more than that. Is this a B-level monster? It feels less threatening than an F-level monster that I can cure alone."
Looking at the squirming back of the epidemic god, Okawa Sadajiu laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't slack off. This epidemic god Fei Yu is still very scary. It will go so smoothly as long as we prepare well in advance." Captain Maeshima shook his head at his temporary members.
"Boss Maejima, it's whatever you say." Okawa Sadahisa didn't take it seriously, maybe because he had finished his work and he was very leisurely now, "By the way, Boss Maejima. I heard that the one named Kamiyagawa The young boy also participated in this operation."
"He is not a young boy, although he is indeed a bit young..."
"Tsk, he's obviously just like me, he's just a non-staff member, right? I think you've exaggerated him too much. If you want to create a god and set a role model and inspire all non-staff members to work hard for the organization, you can't do this. And he's obviously a non-staff member, but he's Being assigned to guard the most important Nuo formation, is this looking down on the official spiritual masters?"
"Stop with your conspiracy theories. No one wants to use him to make a god. He is very strong. You don't know how amazing his performance is in the custom town."
"He is just lucky in the custom town, right? Didn't he say that he was almost beaten to death by the Pink Fairy, but in the end he was saved by the sudden appearance of the God of Thunder?"
"If I have to say it, it probably does involve luck." Captain Maejima ended the chat with his assistant with this sentence.
It can be seen that Okawa Sadahisa seems to have a lot of prejudice against Kamiyagawa.
Even if he has never met each other.
Kamiya's name spread widely among the officials after the Battle of Zhongfenxian.
Many people think that he is a genius exterminator who grew up among the people and grew like a weed.
But not everyone will be convinced by this statement.
For example, this is Okawa Sadahisa who is in his early 20s.
We are all non-staff from a wild background, and we have no father or mother to love us. Who is nobler than whom, and who is born noble?
How come this Kamiyagawa can be praised by everyone for his great luck?
Moreover, the same goes for this big operation.
He was assigned to the ballista team to move reeds, but Kamiyakawa could guard the Nuo formation together with many powerful official spirit exterminators.
As far as the God of Plague is concerned, with his unbearable and powerful performance, he is estimated to be completely wiped out near the Nuo Formation. ...But Kamiyachuan can make another big contribution by relying on the key task of "guarding the Nuo Formation".
If this continues, it will probably be a matter of time before he becomes a formal member.
unfair.
So unfair.
The more Okawa Sadajiu thought about it, the angrier he became, grinding his molars with hatred.
He wanted to say something more to vent his dissatisfaction. At this time, Captain Maejima's intercom rang, and Yuuki Makensuke's voice came from inside:
"Everyone! The bayonet on the eastern and southeastern front was breached by a large number of ghosts and monsters that suddenly appeared. The dead body has taken action! To ensure that the chase goes smoothly, everyone is ready to fight!"
Okawa Sadahisa: "Boss Maeshima, is the demon here?"
"Quiet!"
Maeshima put down the walkie-talkie and interrupted Okawa's words forcefully. His eyes stayed under the shadow of the trees far behind the ballista.
There... seems to be something there.
Okawa Sadahisa followed the captain's line of sight and looked over.
In a daze, he saw a group of human-shaped smoke twisting and floating, and rising continuously.
And the next second.
With the strange human-shaped smoke as the center, the choking smoke with pyrotechnics quickly spread and spread to all parts of the battlefield.
For a moment, everyone could see only thick smoke, making it difficult to see even the teammates who were close at hand.
"Ahem! What is that?"
Okawa Sadajiu covered his mouth and nose with great effort.
Then he heard Captain Maeshima’s voice ringing a few meters away:
"Yanyanluo! Damn it! The seed ghost that breeds the dead has arrived! Prepare for battle, don't let the seed ghost come into contact with the plague god!"
