In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

Although the steel block has been severely deformed, the inscription on it is clearly visible: Kobe Steel.

"What kind of rubbish did those bastards from Kobe make? It hurt me so badly. How high up did it have to be to fall from..."

As a high school student, and a high school student in Kyoto, Reimu naturally has to learn some knowledge about her hometown during class, such as Kobe Steel, the leader in the western steel industry. However, what she learns is not their history and culture, but the cost. You think this is a +16 brave sword, but it is actually a village sword with 1% durability.

Reimu was very clear about this matter, and she hated these bastards with a vengeance. After the fraud incident came out, part of the renovation plan of Hakurei Shrine was stopped. The entire shrine worked overtime for three days just to find out which part used the steel from these bastards. After a thorough inspection, they found that only one place used Kobe steel, Reimu's bedroom.

"This stadium, as I recall, was built during the bubble economy..."

The corners of Reimu's mouth twitched as she slowly raised her head.

The question is, why have the buildings built using junk steel with falsified data and a fraudulent construction team from a junk engineering company stood still for decades?

Answer: I’m lucky.

The shoddy scene in her bedroom that Reimu had imagined did not happen. The steel had been replaced before she moved in, but now Reimu saw the scene she had imagined. Only a small place was missing, first a screw, and then a piece of steel. The steel building was obviously designed with safety redundancy, but it began to collapse like a domino with the toilet as the origin.

Not daring to think for a moment, Reimu rushed out of the toilet. At the same time, the steel fractures and collapses that started from the toilet were developing rapidly. Soon, even the steel used for support above the audience area full of people who came to watch the concert was ready to break. Finally, at the same moment Reimu rushed out of the toilet, the first main beam broke.

The loud noise of steel being forged could even cover up the singing on the ground. Not only Ruby and the other two on the stage heard it, but the fans heard it even more clearly. The moment they raised their heads, fear spread throughout their bodies, and even their breathing became manual. The steel pillars above them were swaying precariously, and countless steel blocks, some the size of matchboxes, some the size of fists, and some even the size of human heads, were falling down like rain.

"Certainly!"

He put two fingers together and suddenly poked out, and the powerful red magic power on Reimu's body spurted out like a Super Saiyan's explosion, wrapping Reimu in it. In front of the two fingers, a talisman paper was continuously infused with Reimu's magic power, and then these magic powers turned into spells that fixed objects and covered half of the gymnasium, which was the half where the steel block fell.

Reimu moved quickly. She rushed out of the bathroom, took out her spell, chanted the incantation, and cast the spell in one go. The whole process took no more than five seconds. If Ouyang Falcon didn't have the ability to draw talismans out of thin air, his spellcasting speed might be a little slower than Reimu's.

But even though Reimu had used her fastest speed and greatest magic power, she was still a step too slow. Several pieces of steel as big as human heads had fallen to the ground and hit the empty aisle. However, the huge noise, the billowing smoke, the countless pieces of steel suspended in the air, and the clearly visible and spreading building collapse under the bright lights all terrified the audience and fans below.

I don't know who shouted the first "Run!", it was like the bell for lunch break in a middle school. The moment it rang, countless students who had been hungry for the whole morning would run out of the classroom and sprint towards the cafeteria like a cavalry charge. The crowd was so huge that it was almost overwhelming.

"Please don't panic! Evacuate in an orderly manner! Please stay calm as if you were experiencing an earthquake."

Ruby and the other two on the stage were stunned by the sudden disaster and stood there in a daze with the microphones in their hands. It was Aqua who rushed out from backstage and tried to keep the panicked crowd in order. In order to avoid being killed by the steel blocks from the sky, they would have trampled hundreds of their own people to death because of the stampede.

"Everyone! Calm down. Only if we stay calm can we avoid a bigger disaster."

Kana was the first to come to her senses and shouted at the fleeing crowd, but it was completely useless.

The shouts of Aqua and Kana on the stage were far less important than the look of Kaguya in the audience. This time, B Komachi was invited to Kyoto for a concert in the name of the Shinomiya family. The venue was naturally provided by the Shinomiya family, and the security personnel were also provided by a security company under the Shinomiya family.

Kaguya, who calls herself Ouyang Falcon's future good wife, signaled Hayasaka Ai, who was hiding in the dark, to be ready when the first loud noise was heard. The security personnel who were originally responsible for protecting Kaguya and B Komachi at the same time, immediately turned into evacuation personnel and guided the crowd to leave safely.

The building collapsed faster than Reimu's spell. Before Reimu's spell could cover the entire venue, the part directly above the stage collapsed first. As the center of the entire stadium, it was also the gathering point of dozens of supporting steel beams. Once it collapsed, the entire stadium, which had been collapsing like dominoes, collapsed in an instant.

"Gringo! Come help! Your wife is still here!"

Reimu yelled, the speed at which things were happening was beyond Reimu's ability to handle.

A golden fire dragon appeared from above the collapsed steel blocks, sweeping across the entire sky above the gymnasium in a semi-arc shape. In an instant, the steel was evaporated into gas, and the plastic used in the construction also turned into gas.

The Golden Fist Saint's Big Swing Fist that Ouyang Jun was going to use to execute the lizard monster was used to deal with the falling construction debris. In order to clear the sky above the entire gymnasium with one blow, Ouyang Jun not only used ten of the Tianshi Mansion's amplification spells and attack spells into this ultimate upgraded Big Swing Fist in one breath, but also temporarily turned the protective golden light into a phantom shadow like Susanoo, and the dragon talisman's dragon flame explosion was also poured into it.

"Are you okay, Shinomiya?"

Ouyang Falcon flew back to Kaguya at an accelerated speed.

Looking at Ouyang Falcon who came down from the sky and protected her again, Kaguya could tell without looking in the mirror that her face must be extremely red because she could feel the scorching heat. After losing the lights, the faint moonlight made it difficult to see things clearly, and Ouyang Falcon's face was mostly shrouded in shadow, but Kaguya could still see every detail of Ouyang Falcon clearly.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return, Lord Ou."

Kaguya smiled happily.

Chapter 76 Fan Meeting.

"Oh my XXX, I'm so tired."

The debris and garbage in the air were cleared away by Ouyang Falcon's attack, and Reimu no longer had to maintain the spell that consumed a huge amount of mana. Although the mana consumed was not worth mentioning to Reimu, it did not affect Reimu's performance at all.

"There's another one in the sky, foreigner, remember to clean it up."

Reimu shouted at Ouyang Falcon.

The roof beneath his feet collapsed suddenly, and Ouyang Jun didn't have time to give the lizard spirit that was hung by the chicken talisman a final blow. At this moment, he was suspended in the air like a hot air balloon, and all the muscles in his body were tightly suppressed by the powerful force of the chicken talisman. The restraint of the chicken talisman was invisible, unlike Reimu, who could bite it to pieces with a pair of sharp teeth. The lizard spirit who woke up could only look at the people below with a pair of yellow eyes full of hatred.

After a chaotic evacuation, there were only a few people left in the huge venue. There was Reimu at the toilet door, Ouyang Shun and Kaguya in the first row of the audience, and Ai floating in the air with a relieved expression. The recent incident made Ai's heart rise to her throat. She was afraid that something would fall from the sky and hit Ruby. There were also the B Komachi trio and Aqua standing on the stage.

"Heaven?"

Ruby looked up in confusion.

Because large-scale memory modification and erasure would have to be carried out afterwards, Reimu didn't bother to hide anything and just shouted it out loud. Not only did Ouyang Falcon hear it, but Ruby naturally heard it as well.

When Ruby raised her head according to the location given by Reimu, she immediately spotted the lizard spirit hanging in the air with her good eyesight, and her eyes met the lizard spirit's pair of yellow eyes. In an instant, Ruby got goose bumps all over her body.

A lizardman with green scaly skin and yellow eyes was hanging in the air, looking at her with a lustful look. Not to mention Ruby, even a lover with a huge heart would feel nauseous and have goose bumps.

"Wow, what's that up there!? That's disgusting! A monster! A lizard man!?"

"lizard Man?"

Kana, who likes to read strange books during her breaks, looked up at the sky.

"Eh hey hey, Lizardman!?"

MEM啾 groped around, trying to find his phone, but then he realized, in despair, that his stage costume didn't even have pockets, so how could there be a phone inside? He could only shout in despair, "No! I want to take a picture of this lizard man and send it to POST. It's bound to go viral!"

Because of the principle of sound transmission, the lizard spirit at a high place can clearly hear the voices of Ruby and others below. When looking at Ruby, he tried hard to suppress his fanatical eyes, wanting to look at Ruby with a gentle look, but Ruby could only see a "lusty" look. Hearing Ruby's words, the lizard spirit felt that this world and his own life had no meaning in an instant.

Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting!

The saddest thing is a dead heart. At this moment, the lizard demon only felt that his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. What made him even more desperate was that each of these arrows was coated with a layer of "Oli Gei".

It hurts! It hurts so much! I pushed myself and told myself I was disgusting! It definitely wasn't my fault! It was this world's fault! It was this world that prevented me from being reborn as a human! I'm going to make this world pay! A bag of rice!

Watching the spiritual power and vitality of the lizard spirit in the sky fading at an alarming rate, Ouyang Sun and Reimu both looked at Ruby with strange eyes. They had seen many monsters beaten to death, and many monsters hacked to death, but they had never seen a monster die of sadness just because someone said the monster was disgusting.

Who is this woman named Ruby? She can make a ghost resist the process of becoming a Buddha, and kill a monster with just one sentence. The profession of idol is really terrifying.

Is this the power of music? I'm not very good at singing or dancing, but how about playing an instrument? Can I reach her level?

Reimu thought so, and she had originally wanted to cancel tomorrow's competition, but suddenly she felt that it would not be a big deal to go and have a look. She would definitely not be able to play anyway. She couldn't just temporarily increase the number of euphonium players and then conscript herself.

If my daughter has such ability, I wonder if her mother has the same ability.

Ouyang Jun looked indifferently at the love floating in the air, wondering if it was possible for love to naturally transform into a spirit like Miyazono Kaoru.

Because the lizard spirit in the sky was losing its magic power and vitality very quickly and was about to turn into a corpse in the blink of an eye, Ouyang Falcon and Reimu didn't bother to care about it. Reimu talked to the priestesses from the Hakurei Shrine who rushed to the scene, and discussed who would erase the memories of Ruby and the others and turn this sudden accident caused by the monster into a real accident.

Ouyang Xuan was thinking about how to turn love into a spirit of an instrument, and if love could become a spirit of an instrument, which instrument should she attach herself to.

The two major fighting forces were distracted for only a few seconds, and the scene that should have been settled suddenly changed again.

The body of the lizard demon hanging in the sky suddenly swelled up, and in less than half a second, it expanded several times in size, and an orange-yellow light was jumping in its body. The lizard demon's seemingly disappearing magic power and vitality were compressed into this small ball. The lizard demon was preparing to self-destruct.

This world that Ruby-chan said made me feel disgusted~ Let’s destroy it!

When the abnormal fluctuation of magic power was noticed by Ouyang Sun and Lingmeng, the lizard spirit had already exploded. In mid-air, he was like a hot air balloon filled with flammable and explosive gas. With a bang, he dealt the final blow to the already dilapidated roof. The steel that was still hanging on and connected to the barely main body of the building completely collapsed in the impact, and thousands of tons of steel slammed to the ground.

"Stay close to me, Shinomiya!"

Holding Kaguya's shoulders, Ouyang Falcon raised his hand and fired a full-power Dragon Flame blast at full power, instantly turning most of the steel in the middle of Ouyang Falcon into ashes or steam. Facing this sky full of steel, Ouyang Falcon could only output at full power. If he could not evaporate the steel in one shot, but only melted it, then the lethality of a rain of molten iron would be no less than that of this iron lump falling directly.

Knocking it away is also an option, but the uncontrollable nature of the knockback made Ouyang Sun give up on this method. This area is a densely populated commercial district, and a piece of steel as big as a head falling from the sky would have a force similar to that of a solid armor-piercing bullet. If it hit a running train, a single derailment would allow Ouyang Sun to reach the annual KPI of all Kyoto monsters.

"Ok!"

With her shoulders being hugged by Ouyang Xuan, Kaguya, who has entered a state where she is no longer shy, will not be shy in Ouyang Xuan's arms. She will directly put her arms around Ouyang Xuan's waist. Although Kaguya may feel so shy that she wants to commit seppuku after this state ends, Kaguya now only feels happy.

Most of the steel blocks and construction waste were taken away by Ouyang Sun's full-strength Dragon Flame blast, but some still slipped through the net and fell to the ground, and right under these things was Ruby.

Most of the mana was used to launch this dragon flame explosion. Ouyang Sun had already discovered the pile of mana that fell on Ruby's head, but it would take time to call upon the mana again. Even if there was a slight difference, Ruby's fragile human body would become Ruby-chan under this pile of steel measured in tons.

"Ruby!"

Aqua yelled, running to pull her sister away.

"what!"

Ruby also wanted to escape, but a huge sense of fear spread throughout her body. Her strong thighs, which could support Ruby to run and jump, had now become soft under the influence of fear, like noodles. She couldn't even stand up, let alone escape.

When faced with an unavoidable disaster, humans have an instinct ingrained in their bones: when I close my eyes, it becomes dark.

With her hands tightly blocking in front of her, Ruby huddled her whole body behind her slender arms, praying that her slender arms could withstand dozens of tons of steel, just like a thin quilt could block the ghosts in the room.

"Ruby, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ruby felt a warm touch and someone hugged her. The voice that came to her ears was a voice that she had never forgotten in the past ten years and had never faded in her mind. It was the voice of love.

"mom, Mom, Mom……"

As if she was afraid that she had heard wrongly, Ruby cautiously peeked out from behind her arms. She had familiar long purple hair, and her eyes were filled with dazzling star patterns. Ai half-knelt on the ground, gently hugged the frightened Ruby in his arms, resting his chin on the top of Ruby's head, just like he did more than ten years ago when Ruby was still a child.

The falling piece of steel paused in mid-air for half a second. This was the spiritual power that Ai burst out when his daughter was in danger of death. There was no sophisticated use of it. He just used the huge spiritual power accumulated over the past ten years to hold up the dozens of tons of steel. It could only hold up for half a second, but it was enough.

A dragon flame explosion with much less power than the one fired toward the sky came and evaporated the steel blocks in the air. This half second bought precious time for Ouyang Xuan and also bought hope of life for his daughter.

"Mommy mommy!"

Just like an abandoned child finally seeing his mother, Ruby-chan grabbed Ai's sleeve tightly, and the tears in her eyes could not be suppressed and flowed down. She tried hard to keep her eyes open, for fear that as long as she closed her eyes, Ai would disappear from her sight.

"like……"

Not only Ruby, but Aqua also saw Ai and wanted to go forward, but was afraid that it would break some kind of balance and make Ai disappear again.

"Hey."

Ai looked at Ruby calling her mom in surprise, and was at a loss as to what to do. She could only ask Ouyang Falcon for help, "Hey, hey, hey, Ouyang, what should I do? My Twitter seems to have mistaken me for her mom. Although I'm super happy, this is not good."

"Mom, I'm Ruby, don't you recognize me?! I'm Hoshino Rumi, and that's my brother, Hoshino Aikyuu Aikai."

Ruby pointed at Aqua excitedly, "You, you don't recognize us!?"

The thought that her mother might not remember her, this horrible possibility, made Ruby's voice tremble, and her eyes were full of pleading, begging Ai not to say such a horrible thing.

"Of course I know."

Ai stroked her chin proudly, "Ruby-chan is my favorite. Of course, I know everything about Ruby-chan's real name and her brother, Aqua, who officially debuted on a dating show. If I like someone, I have to know all three generations of her family clearly."

"By the way, my name is Ai, Hoshino Ai. I love Ruby-chan so much that I couldn't help but use her last name."

As she spoke, Ai pulled out a photo of Ruby and a pen from somewhere on her body and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Ruby-chan, could you please sign an autograph for me?"

"What are you talking about? Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Can you please come back? Come back and tell me slowly until I understand."

Ruby held Ai's hand tightly. She rubbed the photo of herself so hard that it was deformed, which made Ai feel heartbroken. This was a special gift from Ruby's debut. It was very difficult to get it.

"Let's go home and live together forever! Mom, me, Aqua, and Akane too, we'll be a family forever—"

"Okay, the fan meeting is over, everyone's gone home to their moms, and we should start cleaning up afterward."

Ruby's excited expression and tone stopped when Reimu put a piece of talisman on her face. Ruby was like a time pause button was pressed, and she kept her expression and the hand that was tightly holding Ai's hand.

"Ruby! Who are you? What did you do to Ruby!?"

Aqua had just started running when the war shrine maidens from Hakurei Shrine appeared beside him without him knowing. A talisman was stuck on Aqua's face. Aqua, like Ruby, maintained his expression while his consciousness gradually sank into his body. In the last moment of his consciousness, Aqua saw Kana running towards him anxiously and MEM-Chu trying to find a cell phone to call the police. They were all caught by the shrine maidens in red and white clothes, and talismans were stuck on their faces.

What's more, Ai's body gradually became transparent, and then turned into a stream of light and was placed in the jar in Ouyang Xuan's hand. It was obviously a glass jar, but inside there was a bed, sofa, dressing table, and even a refrigerator as detailed as a ship model. The word "Love" that turned into a stream of light lay on the bed and fell asleep. For Ai, that half a second of consumption was like a triathlon. Just now, it was because of the push of holding herself that she managed to hold on and not turn back into the spirit state and return to the jar to rest.

Chapter 77 What's wrong?

The buildings that had not collapsed were fixed by the shrine maidens with magic. When the people outside the scene left, they would be covered with memory-erasing talismans specially made by the Hakurei Shrine, just like Ruby and the others inside, to ensure that they only witnessed the collapse of a shoddy construction project tonight and would not see Reimu and Ouyang Falcon coming to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, they still had to work overtime in the end. Reimu waved her hand with despair and ordered the shrine maidens to take Ruby and the others back to the backstage to rest, or send them directly to the hospital. Reimu's setting for them was that they did not have time to escape when the accident happened and suffered some minor injuries.

"I thought this ghost you raised was just a decoration, but I didn't expect it to be useful."

Reimu looked at Ai, who was soundly sleeping in the jar, and said, "Being able to hold something weighing dozens of tons for half a second, without resorting to cannibalism or training, relying solely on one's own accumulation, is already considered a minor genius among ghosts."

"Ms. Hakurei, why didn't you give her a little more time? The relationship between Ms. Ruby and Ms. Hoshino is..."

"Mother and daughter, huh? I'm not deaf. Her mother was yelling so loudly, how could I not hear her?"

Perhaps because they were both children who had lost their mothers, Kaguya felt a sense of empathy for Ruby's feelings. It was with the help of Ouyang Sun that she saw her mother for the last time. Now Ruby finally had the chance to see her mother again. Although her memory would be erased afterwards, at least Ruby could lose consciousness while recognizing her mother.

"She's dead, Miss Shinomiya."

Reimu pointed at the love inside the jar.

"The dead cannot be resurrected. She and her daughter are already from two different worlds. Even if I give her a few more seconds, it will only add a few more seconds of sadness in the future."
