Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 116, Section 053: The Death of Aoyagi
Qingliu got up from the ground.

The immortal cells throughout his body began to surge, forming bumps and bubbles on the surface of his skin. They expanded rapidly, as if boiling, and soon burst out of his human form. The pus-filled mass of flesh did not lose its skeletal structure, resembling a mass of melting swamp liquid.

His face looked like it was covered with layers of face masks; apart from the filthy blood, all that was left were dark, hollow eye sockets and a wailing mouth.

The six neurotoxins he had absorbed were now out of control. His expression was contorted, one half of his face contorted in anger, his eyes wide open in a furious rage; the other half of his eyes rolled around listlessly.

"Help..." He reached out, only to find his arm like melting ice cream, with thick blood flowing backward.

He soon fell silent as well.

He had already accepted his fate.

Jin Ziyue watched him quietly. At this moment, the protective barrier was operating at full capacity, resisting the giant hand's blows in an area they couldn't see.

Aoyagi seemed to be making another move, gripping the ground with both hands and dragging his body along, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.

Both You Dong and Ao Man were somewhat wary of each other, worried that he might have a trump card that would lead to mutual destruction.

But soon, he went to the damaged stage and carefully pulled out a breathable cage.

This area is reinforced with metal and equipped with various earthquake-absorbing and disaster-prevention facilities, making it clearly an important site.

Be wary of arrogance and aggression.

Aoyuki's throat bobbed, but he discovered that his vocal cords were damaged, and the sound he made was somewhat slurred and gurgling.

He opened the cage; there was a creature inside.

This must be the long-awaited representative of 'arrogance'.

It stretched out its claws and poked its head out.

You Dong paused for a moment.

The furry creature seemed to recognize the bloodied and mangled Qingliu, and reached out a claw to dab some of his blood.

The triangular ears drooped slightly.

"What is that?" Arrogance couldn't see it, but she could sense that the opponent's seventh beast had no fighting ability.

To be precise, it cannot be called a wild beast.

Ryoma said, "One...cat, one British Shorthair."

"Meow~" It seemed to understand that Qingliu's time was coming to an end, and it was not afraid of his ugly appearance. It gently stuck out its tongue towards the hand that was being reached out to it.

“That’s great…” Aoyagi’s voice was barely audible, and his bulging eyes regained their composure.

"Is this the animal that represents arrogance in his mind?" Ryoma's heart softened. "It is quite fitting."

In his mind, arrogance and cats were like a connection. They were both haughty and aloof, yet somehow charming.

Unable to express their joy normally.

That's why all the love and tenderness were given to the Flerken, who could only be called "arrogance".

Arrogant silence.

Aoyagi's eyelids drooped; to be precise, the liquid fleshy substance could no longer be called eyelids. Soon, he even began to have difficulty breathing.

"Why bother?" Arrogance covered his wound and stepped forward lightly.

Aoyagi didn't answer her. His eyes, almost popping out of their sockets, were held together by the last remaining muscle, and he struggled to stare at the cat, panting as he murmured:
"This is the first time it has been so gentle with me."

"No matter how naughty I tried before, I couldn't get its attention. It always acted superior."

There was even a hint of a smile in Aoyagi's words.

"You have no idea how much I enjoy being scratched by it. Sometimes it even bites..."

"Green Willow."

"I really want it to bite me again..." He seemed not to hear the arrogant whisper.

"Don't be willful next time," Arrogance said softly.

Aoyagi was stunned for a moment, and soon his whole body began to tremble violently. Hot, cloudy liquid gushed from the corners of his eyes, and he could no longer speak to himself as if nothing was wrong.

"Ugh..." The pool of blood and flesh could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Even the tip of the dragon horse's nose started to feel sore.

It was as if I could see that misguided boy throwing himself into his older sister's arms and crying out his heart, all his evil thoughts and malice vanishing with the woman's gentle words.

"What is this?" Ryoma wiped away his tears.

After a long silence, Qingliu finally stopped, her eyes blurry with tears. With her last remaining strength, she said, "The mastermind... is Chijinluan..."

After saying that, his eyeballs completely disappeared into the pile of flesh.

There was no written instruction.

The wicked and twisted gentleman departed this world with his final words of repentance.

"Is this alright?" Ryoma's eyes softened.

That's how the nightmare ended.

He was thinking, but his vision slowly blurred. His head was spinning, and in the chaos, it seemed as if something was trying to escape from his body. He stumbled, quickly regained his balance, but the sudden wave of drowsiness made him unable to support himself any longer, and he slumped to the ground.

On the other side, Jin Ziyue looked at the unconscious You Dong with a serious expression.

Arrogance also noticed the unusual movement, but since she couldn't see, she could only walk towards him.

A sudden change occurred!

Arrogance keenly perceived the difference in movement.

It was a thrilling aura.

Like the smell of disinfectant in a hospital, just smelling it can evoke images of serious illnesses and ominous connotations, making one's hair stand on end.

She hesitated for a moment, sensing that the aura emanating from You Dong was inexplicably rising, even more eerie than when Qingliu was at her peak.

The power of death.

Is this the very force that has been tormenting him all along?

At this moment, its eyes rolled around, and it slowly got up again.

Jin Ziyue composed himself, a cold glint flashing beneath his mask, which held a mixture of tears and laughter.

All that scheming and waiting has only just begun; the real trouble is about to start.

……

Anomaly Survey Bureau, 16th Ward, Kyoto Branch.

All the screens, big and small, were painted red, and shrill alarms blared incessantly from beginning to end.

All the staff on night duty rushed into the monitoring room. On the screen, a huge red dot radiated continuously from the 3D modeled corridor.

"What's going on?!" The lead researcher leaned over to look at the screen.

"An abnormally high-energy reaction has been detected! The peak energy fluctuation is still rising! It has already exceeded 300!"

The researchers beside him quickly projected images of the site via satellite, but they were blocked by thick clouds. Thunder rumbled through the dense, dark clouds, like the churning lava of a legendary angry dragon.

"Switch to satellite signal! Switch to wireless wave detection! Increase the power of radar signal detector!" The researchers were already hesitating whether to ask their superiors for permission.

This is the eye of the city's energy fluctuations.

"Breaking 400!" someone on one side shouted urgently.

"Report this to headquarters immediately! Confirm whether any ancestors have revived!" The researchers panicked. 400 years is no joke. If it's just the energy fluctuations from those old ghosts, that's fine. But if it's an unknown enemy, then there's a risk of massacring the entire city.

Sakakyoto remains a highly developed city of human civilization. If any storm were to be stirred up here, hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost, which would likely escalate the conflict between the two sides.

"It's broken 500! And it's still rising!" The researcher's voice trembled slightly.

This volume will be finished next week.
