You say this is a love game?

But these shadows are really weird.

When they are cut off, they turn into black mist and fall into the shadows.

Then within a few seconds, new shadows will appear from the shadows, and you can never kill them all.

——These are all puppets.

Mizutani Makoto's rich combat experience made him keenly aware of this.

But where is the body of this thing?

Mizutani Makoto was fighting back, but the shadows he was fighting were also quite powerful. They swarmed over him, making it difficult for him to defend himself. Even if he could break through, he had no energy to think about his original body or clone. Being able to survive this violent shadow killing was already a testament to his excellent swordsmanship.

This thing, is it of the same rank?!

Just when Mizutani Makoto was about to chop off the head of a shadow, he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his mind, and the shadow exploded with a loud bang. He dodged in time and was not hurt.

But the next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and grabbed his neck with astonishing force!

"Click!!"

The bones made a crisp sound of breaking!

Mizutani Makoto's eyes widened as his body was lifted off the ground and dragged into the shadows beneath his feet.

He tried to struggle, but the blade slashed directly at himself, intending to kill both himself and the enemy who was strangling him from behind!

boom! !

In the shadow world that was like a dark tide, a low explosion sounded, and only a pile of broken bodies fell down.

Ending: [The little knight's life was ruined just like that. ]

156 The traditional marathon of the Eclipse Fire Keeper is unpacking and resting for the injured senior!

Why did he die?

He died in a unclear manner, without even knowing who the enemy was!

In order to prevent the same vicious corpse-guarding incident as the slit-mouthed woman, Mizutani Makoto chose the resurrection location under the cherry tree in the courtyard.

【Number of explorations: 2/3】

With his death, Kagura Hokorin, who was originally working on breaking the root system, was put back into his backpack.

"Where did the enemy come from?"

He touched his neck and felt a chill.

This guy is most likely not an enemy of the same rank.

But he had clearly cleared out the monsters and bosses in the crevices.

Don't forget, Mizutani Makoto just cleared out the rift these past two days. If there was a BOSS in the rift, how could he not know about it?

"Wait a minute, Mai told me that she had also been in the crevice."

Mizutani Makoto suddenly thought of his conversation with Yajima Mai.

When he was fighting the BOSS, Mai Yajima had sneaked into the crevice, but Tongzi did not give any "invasion" warning at that time.

The only time he encountered an "invasion" was when Yoshiko Satori entered the rift through his real body and Touko, so there would be relevant reminders.

However, at that time, Mai Yajima was forcibly dug in from a crack in the outside world.

It has nothing to do with Tongzi, so there is no reminder of "invasion".

"Could it be that……"

"Is it the boss who entered the rift from the present world?"

That was when Mizutani Makoto was shocked.

The shadow girl at the school building subconsciously raised her head after killing Mizutani Makoto.

...The entire crack is changing.

It was as if a great force had descended here, wantonly kneading the environment of the entire crevice. When the shadow girl withdrew her gaze again, the empty crevice was once again filled with the aura of many monsters.

It's incredible.

You know, this crack is the "God's Realm".

Back then, Furuya Ruriko prayed to Inari Daimyojin, hoping to invite the gods to descend. But the crevice she found herself in was no ordinary crevice! This was the location of the divine egg of Daigozu Hikari, the divine realm of the gods!

Even gods that have not been fully hatched have their own inviolable divine domain.

Therefore, Furuya Ruriko was unable to contact Inari Daimyojin at that time, and even Inari Daimyojin did not know where his own shrine maiden died, and could not even find out.

But now, because of Mizutani Makoto's death, the aura of the entire rift seemed to be reset... The resentment, obsession, and power accumulated in those rifts were actually all squeezed out and used to generate those miscellaneous soldiers that had been destroyed.

All this is as if Mizutani Makoto is the real owner of this crack.

"No, it's hard to understand that he could appear in the gap."

"This rift has long been sealed. It's understandable that a spirit could force its way into it, but why is he here?"

"What secrets does he have..."

Shadow Girl murmured.

She is the family shikigami of the Yajima family.

He has been serving the Yajima family since he was captured by the Yajima family's Onmyoji three hundred years ago.

The last time I saw Mizutani Makoto, he was clearly still in the middle position...

Throw all these distracting thoughts out of your mind.

No matter what secrets Mizutani Makoto has, he is already a dead man. There is no point in pursuing the secrets of a dead man.

She looked up.

The focus is on the school building.

At the end of the corridor on the first floor, the remaining soul of the witch still exists.

Thirty-seven years ago, the Rift was completely controlled by the Yajima family. Everyone knew that the remaining soul of Furuya Ruriko was hiding in the school building, but the school building was a restricted area after all, especially for the Onmyoji of the Yajima family. After the lives of several Onmyoji were lost, the matter of Furuya Ruriko was left there.

She could only hide in there anyway.

If she dared to show up as a remnant soul, what would be waiting for her would be the shadow of a ferocious Nue, as well as the onmyoji who would be at her beck and call. She would end up in a state of utter disarray.

"The school building's intimidation has actually weakened..."

What happened in this isolated gap during these three years?

What is the story behind this remaining soul of the witch?

There was a hint of the frightening "sun" about her...

The shadow girl showed a look of fear.

I had originally thought of attacking this remnant soul, but now I hesitated.

She entered the crevice, naturally with a mission.

Three years ago, the Yajima family's connection with the crack was completely cut off. They knew nothing about what happened three years ago or what happened in the past three years. They were so eager to open the crack in order to obtain the information within the crack to determine whether the "Solar Eclipse" can proceed smoothly.

Since Shadow Girl entered the rift, the only good news that can be confirmed is that Yajimazu is still alive.

He is very weak...

The Onmyoji who was once a powerful inferior is now so weak that it seems that she is dying. Through the connection between the two Shikigami contract, Yashimazu gave her the order to "kill Mizutani Makoto" and then lost his voice.

At this moment, the shadow girl suddenly stopped.

Yashimazu's voice reappeared in her mind.

He said with difficulty:

"Go ahead and kill him, he's not dead yet."

"According to my observation, he has three chances to resurrect every day, and it's impossible to truly kill him in the cracks..."

"Kill him three times first and drive him out of this crevice."

Shadow Girl: “……?”

When people are killed, they die.

This is common sense.

How is it possible for someone to be killed and still be alive?

But the contract of the shadow girl's shikigami is maintained by Yashimazu, so Yashimazu would not have the energy to joke with her at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow girl's figure disappeared into the shadows. A black shadow flew across the cracked ground and headed towards the atrium of the teaching building where Mizutani Makoto was.

A battle is inevitable.

at the same time.

It's in the atrium of the teaching building, under the cherry trees.

Countless roots hang down from the dome like ancient chains, and the pool of blood below is like a primitive altar, offering blood and flesh, calling out the name of the god of disaster.

The rotten smell of blood suddenly surged up, and the dark shadows patrolling below stopped at the edge of the blood pool.

The dim blood light reflected on Kurosawa Ryohito's face, and there was no light of mind in those empty eyes.

He stood quietly at the edge of the pool of blood like a hollowed-out puppet.

His chest was completely torn open. This was not caused by external force, but by the existence that was parasitic in his body that actively broke through his "shell".

——Yajima Tsu.

A twisted figure slowly crawled out of Kurosawa Ryojin's chest. Its movements were slow and strange, like a larva just peeled off from its mother's body.

The order "Kill Mizutani Makoto" was passed down, and he let out a heavy gasp and continued to climb towards the blood pool until he fell into it.

Three years.

Three years ago, during an unexpected disaster, Yashimazu controlled the yet-to-hatched Daihozu Hikami to fight back, but was nearly blasted into heroic fragments by that god.

On the one hand, he needs rest, and on the other hand, he needs someone to maintain the balance of the gap.

So, Kurosawa Yoshihito, who had been living in a daze in the cracks for decades, was recruited by him.

A hundred years ago, it was just a small colleague who played with it on a whim, but I didn’t expect that it would come in handy at this moment.

The so-called resentment and unwillingness have long since completely disappeared in the erosion of nearly a hundred years.

The so-called "Kurosawa Yohito" was an empty puppet from beginning to end, and even his mind was hastily awakened by Yashimazu before he fell asleep.

Everything happened so fast.

He was unable to make any elaborate arrangements and could only rely on his tenacious will to endure the fatal tearing wound. He hurriedly took some measures to stabilize the gap, not caring whether the measures were too crude, and was forced to fall into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, Kurosawa Yoshihito did not fail in this aspect.

Nothing can motivate people to move forward more than "hatred" and "ambition".

As for Yashimazu, he hid under the skin of Kurosawa Yoshihito and was usually asleep. He collected souls through Kurosawa Yoshihito to repair the damage to his soul. He only woke up recently.

But when he woke up, he found that the crevice was isolated from the world, and in the back garden of the crevice, there was an immortal little Western King who was killing people.

"Another variable..."

And what confused him the most was that Kurosawa Ryohito was actually colluding with this mysterious outsider.

After realizing the existence of such a strange person like Mizutani Makoto, Yajimazu's worldview as an Onmyoji was greatly shocked.

He couldn't understand the strange speed of Mizutani Makoto's upgrade, nor could he understand where Mizutani Makoto's influence on the entire rift came from, but he knew that he had to kill Mizutani Makoto.

This appeal is completely different from Kurosawa Yoshihito's.

According to Kurosawa Ryohito's logic, he wanted to use Mizutani Makoto to counter "Soichiro Hiiragihara".

But Yajimazu has no such demand at all. He is the mastermind behind the biggest rift. Who else does he need to oppose?

After realizing that Makoto Mizutani could be resurrected and upgraded continuously, he wanted to eliminate Makoto Mizutani.

But the entire rift has been sealed, he cannot contact the outside world, and cannot open the box to kill from the real world. If he has to kill from inside the rift... In the rift, based on the previous situation, the only person he can defeat is actually Kurosawa Ryohito, who he uses as a shell.

It was not until Shadow Girl came in that they finally felt confident of victory.
