Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 117 Actually, I'm incredibly clever (Two chapters combined)

The pungent smell of burning explosives was gone.

Instead, a strong smell of disinfectant filled the air, hitting her nostrils and causing Erii to sit up abruptly, gasping for breath as she braced herself against the cold, hard bed.

The familiar white walls imprisoned her, and the incessantly beeping medical equipment was connected to her through a bunch of tubes.

Erii looked around silently, wondering if she had just been fighting with Genji in Tokyo a moment ago.

She ripped off all the monitor wires, jumped out of bed, and stopped abruptly as she passed a mirror. She blinked curiously and leaned closer.

The girl in the mirror was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her face was lifeless, her eyes were dull, and her thin body was covered by a large white T-shirt that hung down to her thighs.

How could she forget this place?

squeak~

The door was pushed open, and several doctors walked in, looking surprised.

Tachibana Masamune walked at the back, and the latter said helplessly, "Eri, why are you being disobedient again?"

"Where's my brother?" Erii asked calmly.

"Huh? Didn't he go to Kassel College? Did you forget?" Tachibana Masamune asked in confusion.

"Oh," Erii replied curtly.

It's just an illusion or a dream; there's no need to take it seriously.

She thought for a moment and muttered the word "dream tapir" to herself.

Only those of the White King's bloodline have the opportunity to awaken the spiritual power, Dream Membrane, which is extremely rare. It's unexpected that the bloodthirsty and tyrannical Kazama Ruri's spiritual power would be so first-rate.

This spell draws the enemy into a woven, false dream. The spell itself is not offensive, but any damage or even death suffered by the enemy in the dream will be reflected in their real body.

Even if the enemy realizes they are in a dream, it will be difficult for them to break free. After all, Genji (Ruri Kazama) has extremely high bloodline and her mental strength is exceptionally strong. Without some real skill, they can't break through the awakening.

"Eri, don't worry, it'll be over soon," Tachibana Masamune comforted her kindly.

Erii stared at him. "Are you a royal general?"

Tachibana Masamune was taken aback, and the doctors also froze abruptly, as if the room they were in was trembling unsteadily.

This means that Kazama Ruri's own mind is in turmoil, and the source of this is Erii's question.

Tachibana Masamune is dead, but the Kings are immortal. If Tachibana Masamune was one of the Kings, then many things that have puzzled Kazama Ruri for years will be solved and have an answer.

Tachibana Masamune did not answer, but instead, along with several doctors, suddenly attacked Erii with their swords.

Erii is currently fourteen years old and can only use the power of this time period; her bloodline has not been repaired.

But enough.

Since it's an illusionary dream anyway, whether it's berserk or not doesn't really matter.

The scope expands, and the trial begins!

Almost the instant the thought was cleared, the people who had rushed at them were all torn to pieces.

Barefoot, she walked out of the laboratory and into the Iron Dome, ascending the elevator.

Puff puff puff!

Everyone who showed up was destined to be cut up and strangled.

Whether you are the director of the Ganryu Research Institute, a high-ranking official in the Executive Bureau, or the head of a family, you'll be gone in a second if you show your face.

Hey~

The elevator stopped in the lobby on the first floor. As soon as the door opened, there were fully armed members of the Snake Clan Special Forces. But before they could pull the trigger, the trial was already over.

The spacious hall was instantly transformed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, among which were many familiar faces.

Inuyama He, who attempted to launch a surprise attack using the seventh-order instant technique, and Fuma Kotaro, who transformed into a ghost to carry out assassinations, were both reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye by her single thought.

Erii left Genji Heavy Industries.

But the pedestrians on the street did not hurry along. Under the clear blue sky, they all stood still in a strange way, turning their heads in unison to look at Erii with blank expressions.

The next second, their human skins burst open, transforming into serpentine deadly creatures that slithered toward her.

At the same time, the army inexplicably appeared, with tanks, armored vehicles, and even missile vehicles being dragged out, as if the entire nation was mobilized to eliminate Erii.

But as the area expanded, the judgment manifested its endless sharpness, and the neighborhood fell silent in an instant, with no living thing surviving.

"Pfft~"

Erii coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her body was so weak from being drained that her knees buckled and she knelt down.

His golden eyes flickered, his face was covered with grotesque, venomous veins, his skin was cracked, and scales pierced irregularly from it. His hands trembled and distorted.

My thoughts are confused, and my emotions are running wild.

Overuse of the power of words directly leads to loss of bloodline control.

violent!

Deadpool-like!

She is turning into an extremely evil demon!

This process of transformation is particularly weak.

"To be honest, both Genjiro and I," Kazama Ruri's voice sounded from behind, "dislike you intensely."

He walked up to Erii, lifted her chin with his fingers, and stared at her pale face, which was gradually contorting into a terrifying shape.

"It feels good to have an older brother, doesn't it?" he said coldly. "You're just a substitute. You lost your younger brother but gained a younger sister. Do you think that will soothe your guilt?"

As he spoke, his hand cruelly pierced Erii's abdomen, forcibly interrupting her Deadpool transformation, and directing the power of the dragon blood to the potentially fatal wound.

Kazama Ruri kicked Erii over, "Sink into this inescapable dream~"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

Then, countless undead appeared out of nowhere, surging towards Erii one after another, opening their bloody mouths and brandishing their claws.

Erii could only curl up into a small ball, letting countless punches and kicks rain down on her.

She trembled helplessly, muttering to herself as if in a dream.

Kazama Ruri's straight body suddenly swayed a few times, and she staggered to her feet, barely managing to stand. Her lowered eyes gleamed with a ghostly light.

To imprison Erii, a rare hybrid in the world, in a dream is nothing short of fanciful. Needless to say, the drain on his own energy would be immense; he doesn't even have the strength to speak right now.

But this is also the reason why the king specifically sent him to deal with Erii.

Especially troubled children like Erii and Genjiro are prone to falling into self-imposed illusions, like falling into a swamp, where the more they struggle, the deeper they sink.

"Oh?" Kazama Ruri turned to Fingel with a teasing tone. "It was my oversight. It seems that Kassel College isn't all hothouse flowers after all."

To everyone's surprise, Fingel waved his hands repeatedly without any backbone, chuckling obsequiously, "You've misjudged me. I am indeed a complete sheltered flower, kind, innocent, naive, and peace-loving!"

Kazama Ruri ignored her, hoisted Erii, who was sleeping on the ground, onto her shoulder, and sped off towards the east.

-

Sakurai Kogure gave Fingel a threatening look, followed by a glance from him.

The two sped along the skyscrapers, and before they knew it, the masked king appeared quietly to their side.

"Very good, very good! As expected of an extremely evil demon, as expected of a monster I nurtured myself!" The king was very happy, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Where do you want to take her?" Kazama Ruri asked coldly.

"Follow me," the king said, leading the way.

The three left the bustling Shinjuku district and sped off to Koto district. However, Wang Jiang did not stop. Instead, he led them into a car parked on the side of the road.

Continuing eastward, it traversed the entire Koto Ward and entered Edogawa Ward.

However, before reaching his destination, Wang abruptly stopped on an ordinary street in a residential area.

"Put her down. You two continue your attack on Genji Heavy Industries and destroy Kaguya," he ordered.

"Without me, could you suppress her?" Kazama Ruri sneered.

"My methods are beyond your limited imagination," the king said with a contemptuous smile.

Kazama Ruri was silent for two seconds. "You don't trust me?"

Wang Jiang almost burst out laughing. "Don't you find that ridiculous? You've already killed me, where does your trust come from?"

They were on high alert.

He had no intention of letting Yuan Zhinv know where his true identity was hidden!

bang bang~

A knock came at the door.

A person appeared silently on both sides of the back seat.

They wore the same noble masks, the same clothes, and the same wooden clappers. Including the one in the carriage, there were a total of three kings and generals.

This scene sent chills down the spines of Kazama Ruri and Sakurai Kogure. Compared to the King, they were hardly demons.

The two kings opened the carriage door, gesturing for them to get out.

Seeing the hammers and nails the two kings were carrying, Kazama Ruri and Sakurai Kogure exchanged a glance and obediently followed their instructions.

The two kings came to Erii's sides and took out nails and hammers to drive into her wrists, collarbones, ankles, knees and other places. These ancient-looking things engraved with dragon patterns must be alchemical weapons, which must have the effect of sealing dragon blood or words of power.

Puff puff!

Three muffled thuds, and three heads fell off smoothly.

Erii tossed her hair aside, raised her head, and her round eyes showed no sign of sleepiness.

"Old fox~" she muttered unhappily.

Sakurai Kogure paused for a moment, then drew her sword.

Kazama Ruri raised her hand and pressed it on the hilt of Erii's sword, staring at her and curling the corners of her lips into a smile. "You're smarter than you look."

Erii pouted, "My brother always says I'm silly, but most of the time I'm incredibly clever."

Hmm~ She learned this line from an anime she watched in Dragon Bone Village. She felt that she was a bit like that girl named Bao'er.

Even Bai Yuekui said that she is actually a bit of a mischievous airhead?

"You...you guys?" Sakurai Kogure suddenly realized, but was still quite surprised.

"I don't know if you're clever or not, but your strength is no less than mine," Kazama Ruri affirmed.

In fact, when Erii used Judgment to wreak havoc in the dream, he was already on the verge of losing control. Erii's power of words was like boiling water, frantically consuming his mental energy.

When Kazama Ruri's mental energy was depleted, she was no longer able to restrain Erii, who also possessed extremely strong mental energy.

Both are descendants of the White King, but Erii's bloodline is even more terrifying, and her resistance to mental attacks is naturally not low.

She can break free from the dream whenever she wants.

But Erii, quick-witted as ever, did not do that. Instead, she deliberately allowed herself to be captured, and made Kazama Ruri vaguely aware of this.

So, during the beating by Deadpool, her dream wasn't just nonsense, but rather, "I'm not under the control of the clappers, take me to the King, and let's work together to kill his real body first."

Then it was Erii's turn to be surprised, because Kazama Ruri agreed in just 0.1 seconds.

"Unfortunately, the king is indeed a stinking rat from a dark sewer!" Sakurai Kogure spat out.

She has already removed the masks of three kings: one is the face of Genji, one is the face of an ordinary passerby, and one is stuck to the face.

"Shall we continue our cooperation?" Kazama Ruri asked.

"Mmm." Erii nodded.

Looking at the two people who were so serious and indifferent, Sakurai Kogure suddenly froze, feeling inexplicably that the two were somewhat similar.

No.

Not just a little.

It's actually very similar!

Of course, they weren't both stunningly beautiful women, but rather their facial features, facial contours, and expressions suggested a blood relationship.

"You don't know where he's hiding?" Erii asked a stupid question.

Ruri Kazama remained silent, too lazy to reply.

"Since he's moving eastward, it's certain that he could be anywhere along a line from Edogawa Ward to the sea within this area," he analyzed.

"What is the king's true goal?" Erii asked.

"Resurrect the White King," Kazama Ruri replied.

"My brother and I both had pontine transection surgery performed by Tachibana Masamune, and I think you did too," Erii changed the subject again.

Ruri Kazama frowned. "What do you mean?"

Erii pointed to the blood-stained clapper, "He can use this to control us, am I right?"

"Yes, it can also switch between my dual personalities and Genji's." Kazama Ruri didn't deny it.

"Dual personality~ I guessed right, your dual personality must be caused by the pontine rupture surgery!" Erii's eyes widened, looking as serious as Conan solving a case.

Just then.

The roar of sports cars grew louder as they approached, their dazzling headlights piercing through the distant road.

A Bugatti Veyron braked suddenly in front of the three men, its tires screeching against the road, but the surrounding residents dared not speak out, fearing they might be part of a terrorist attack.

As soon as Fingel, Ye Sheng, and Shu Deyaji got out of the car, they pulled out their guns. If Erii hadn't raised her hand to stop them in time, they probably would have already emptied the magazines into Kazama Ruri's forehead.

Erii gave a concise explanation.

Before the three could say anything, five armed helicopters tore straight through the clouds and circled overhead.

Buzz—

Before the man arrived, the knife struck first.

Spider Cutter and Child Cutter crossed in a cross slash, and Genjiro delivered a powerful "King Descends from the Sky" strike, his face filled with unwavering resolve for justice.

Sakura Yabuki, Crow, and Yasha followed suit, all exuding murderous intent.

"Ugh, you guys~" Erii was getting a little annoyed.

Clap clap clap!

One minute later, the two sides, who were about to make a move, were forcefully suppressed.

Although the situation had temporarily stabilized, Genjiro and Kazama Ruri glared at each other, wishing they could plunge a knife into each other's foreheads immediately.

Erii stepped forward and stood between the two of them.

"Brother, he also had a pontomedullary surgery, and he has a personality in each of his left and right hemispheres," Erii said, stating her deduction. "One is the Genji you know, which is the primary personality, and the other is Kazama Ruri, who is the secondary personality. She can forcibly switch between them using the sound of a clapper."

Genji was momentarily dazed, but the clever boy immediately understood what this meant.

"We were all used by the villains behind Tachibana Masamune and the King. What happened between you and him back then might also have been a conspiracy orchestrated by that villain." Erii then shared some more details and speculations.

Fingel began, "By the way, thanks to the tireless efforts of EVA and the Academy's intelligence department, we have found some clues and information about Black Swan Port in Siberia, the former Shadow Emperor Uesugi Kotsugi, and the backgrounds of the three of you. However, these things cannot be explained in a short time. Let's first determine our next plan."

Everyone turned to look at Yuan Zhisheng.

Genjiro pondered for a moment, "Immediately mobilize all available manpower to conduct a thorough search of the Edogawa Ward, and at the same time, use all of Princess Kaguya's computing power for this purpose."

Erii, however, said somewhat hesitantly, "How about I give it a try?"
