"Hurry up! My child is still here! You scum!"

"Let my mom go over there first! Let my mom go over there!"

Normally, they are neighbors, but now they are all anxious to cross the bridge. The village chief is helpless, not to mention the bridge's load-bearing capacity. Ever since the surrounding area was attacked by drones with incendiary bombs, the villagers have rushed onto the bridge without any regard for the consequences.

Instead, many elderly people in the village were helplessly stuck in front of the bridge.

Looking down, the headlights along the dirt road leading up the mountain had already covered more than half the distance; the journey that had taken them half an hour was insignificant for a vehicle.

Currently, less than half of the villagers have been relocated.

"Hurry up, get ready to go."

A calm female voice rang out.

The village chief looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Either way, it's a liberation. I've had enough of these long years, and now I finally know how to break the cycle of reincarnation. It's just a pity that I've lost the chance to start over. This is my last Hinamizawa."

But I have witnessed the courage to shatter fate, and I too must struggle to survive. And you who have been here a thousand times, begin your final struggle as well.

The voice rang out again, and the village chief then realized that it was Pear Blossom, who was just up to his waist, speaking in a tone he had never heard the child use before.

"Gongyou, we're just waiting to die here anyway. Those who want to leave with me, let's get moving."

Grandpa... Grandpa?! The village chief never expected that Pear Blossom, who usually sweetly called him "Grandpa Village Chief," would utter such a title.

However, Pear Blossom's words reminded him that no matter how they tried to get through, they were all doomed. They might as well scatter and run in all directions, and a few of them could survive.

"it is good!"

Now was not the time for fussing over trivial matters. Gong made up his mind and shouted at the villagers around him.

Pear Blossom was the first to run, and perhaps due to good luck, she and her friends were not caught along the way. They eventually reached a familiar place along the path, where she took out her key, unlocked the door, and the group hid in the shrine's ritual shrine.

Chapter 153: A sword that can be canceled now appears in my hand.

The ritual implements hall was originally off-limits to anyone except priestesses.

Because this place holds the history of Hinamizawa being sealed away, that's right, it's just like the Sonozaki family's basement, or rather, everything in the Sonozaki family's basement is a one-to-one copy.

It's said to be a sacrificial implement, but it seems more appropriate to call it a torture device.

These instruments of torture have been preserved because they were once used to kill crazed villagers and were thus imbued with the significance of ritual props.

The others who entered this place for the first time were somewhat shocked as they looked at the things inside.

However, Pear Blossom hurriedly locked the door.

"Really..."

Ryugu Rena walked to the center of the main hall, where a statue of a god stood in the center.

Pear Blossom turned her head to look at the statue, sighing with sorrow. She wondered where Yu Ru, who had been with her since childhood, had gone, and whether she would survive the night.

She walked up to the statue and touched the ancient sculpture with her hand.

But the next moment, the ancient statue cracked.

Realizing something was wrong, Ryugu Rena immediately pulled Rika aside. The statue crumbled like dry earth and stone, and a huge cloud of dust filled the ritual hall.

The choking caused several people to cough.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Pear Blossom coughed as she opened her eyes and looked at the dark sacrificial hall, where only the light from a few people's cell phones shone through.

However, under the bright light, two things appeared before Pear Blossom's eyes.

One was a weapon somewhat resembling the Seven-Sword of a country with multiple suns, like the Trisolaran Empire; the other was something resembling a bull's horn.

The biggest difference is that the sword only has two forks, one on the left and one on the right, while the middle is a straight blade.

"Ghost Hunter Liuying..."

Pear Blossom instinctively uttered the name of the sword.

"Rika, do you know that person? But then again, you are the shrine maiden here."

Ryugu Rena looked at Rika with some confusion.

"Do not……"

Pear Blossom wanted to explain, but then she realized she couldn't explain it to them anyway, so she kept quiet.

It wasn't that she recognized the sword, but rather that she had observed it in the memories of someone unknown at the end of her previous reincarnation.

It is a divine sword with the characteristics of being constant in the multiverse and unique in parallel universes. To put it simply, no matter which parallel world you hold it in, you can wield it. Even if you obtained it in the previous world, it will appear in the new cycle of reincarnation as long as you hold the air.

It is a sword that can be canceled.

It also has the ability to kill reincarnated beings and higher-dimensional molecular life forms. To put it simply, it can kill the soul of an enemy and even enhance the user's strength.

When Pear Blossom saw the divine sword, she was both at a loss and overjoyed. She stepped forward, grabbed it, and then let out a long howl.

"Come on! Power! Ah—ahhh!"

Then, with Pear Blossom's voice... nothing happened.

"Hey! Pear Blossom Sauce, what are you doing? You'll attract the enemy!"

Keiichi Maehara rushed over and covered Rika's mouth, leaving Rika completely bewildered.

No, isn't this thing supposed to grant power to witches? Where is my power?

Pear Blossom tried again, but she couldn't force out any supernatural power at all. The sword just sat there like an ordinary sword.

"No, if I can't..."

Pear Blossom turned her head and looked solemnly at the three people beside her.

"We need to find a way to give this sword to that guy who calls himself Shimura Danzo!"

……

Meanwhile, as they fled, the troops had already arrived at the bridge.

Soldiers carrying guns got out of the vehicle and pointed their guns at the villagers who had not fled.

Although Gongyou called on everyone to flee, in the end, not many people played hide-and-seek with the Self-Defense Force in the mountains; they all thought about crossing the bridge and then blowing it up.

As a result, a large number of villagers were still stuck there. Because the village's exit was blocked, the other side was not disturbed by the scattered villagers and rushed directly to the bridge.

Looking at those cold, hard gun barrels, the village chief, who ultimately chose to stay and maintain order at the scene, raised his hands.

"Stop what you're doing immediately and call everyone over from the other side of the bridge!"

The Self-Defense Force personnel shone their flashlights on both sides of the bridge, and felt a sudden headache.

Their actions were futile, and their arrival only made the people on the bridge rush even faster!

Some people were even squeezed through the gaps in the iron chains, screaming in terror as they fell into the icy river below.

Seeing this, the soldier opened fire without hesitation.

"boom!!"

The gunshot silenced the scene. If this were a Western gunfight uniform, the result would only be a more chaotic scene, with people screaming and searching for cover.

However, this is the Japanese server, and after this shot, the previously chaotic bridge became quiet.

The squad leader here is also having a headache.

It's unclear what information the command received, but they were in a great hurry. They ordered the villagers to be executed immediately, then to scout the location of the mansion, and also mobilized some men to defend the mountain road. After completing these two orders, they also ordered that the rear be kept on guard at all times.

He was completely bewildered by the command post, but obeying orders rather than questioning them was a basic quality of a soldier, so he could only pass the message on to his subordinates.

He had no idea how panicked their current commander was. He kept receiving messages about encountering invincible humanoid monsters at the mansion location. He questioned it frantically, but after all his team members were wiped out at the mansion location, he reluctantly reported this to the Tokyo organization.

The Tokyo organization responded very quickly, and it seemed that the bigwigs knew what it was. They immediately increased manpower and equipment for them and instructed them to study how to deal with this enemy.

He was stunned.

"I?"

No, how come you guys seem to know what this is? But you want me to figure out a solution? What solutions do I have?

The Tokyo organization didn't actually know what it was, because the surveillance footage from Paradise Hospital had been completely destroyed. However, based on the on-site detection results of the Paradise Hospital research project, they guessed that these people might be some special exorcism unit that had been widely circulated among the upper echelons of Japan and was highly classified, so much so that even their organization couldn't find out about it.

One time could be a coincidence, but the fact that they were repeatedly targeted as test sites made them panic instantly. Could it be that someone had sabotaged them?

So they didn't have time for factional infighting and quickly approved the support for that side.

However, due to concerns that large-scale troop deployment would cause panic, and because their organization was not yet in a position to truly control a large amount of military power, the number of support personnel would not exceed 200.

After weighing the options, the commander tentatively made a request.

"I need to apply for white phosphorus bullets, anesthetic gas, and special material nets..."

……

On the other side, Kerry and his men followed the military vehicles to the bridge.

They found a badly damaged vehicle. The squad, unaware of what had happened, didn't confirm whether the vehicle was friend or foe, assuming it was reinforcements. They continued to point their guns at the villagers, demanding they come down from the bridge.

Chapter 154 Xiao Xiang, My Xiao Xiang.

In the Tokyo night, longing condenses into threads.

A blonde girl looked at the artist contract she had just signed over and over again.

Xiangzi, I've finally arrived in Dongmajing, and I can finally see you.

"Chu Hua, we're teammates from now on!"

"Yes! Let's cheer each other on!"

After casually replying to his new teammates, the blond boy looked at his phone, a hint of darkness flashing in his purple eyes.

But... why hasn't Xiangzi replied to my text messages in three days? He hasn't even marked them as read.
