Because the black shadow that flew out of the mirror was none other than a head.

Moreover, it was the head of a blonde woman.

In contrast, Director Ochiai's reaction was noticeably calmer.

Although his face was full of shock, it was more of an unexpected surprise than any fear.

No wonder he's a ruthless person who can pin someone to a wall with a single sword strike; his mental fortitude is truly remarkable.

The head that had rolled out of the room lit up when it saw Yin Kong.

Unfortunately, this seemed to be her limit; she fell into a coma after uttering just one syllable.

Yin Kong quickly stepped forward to check on the other person's condition.

"She...she's...Chris?!"

Seeing this, Yoko asked in a trembling voice.

That's right, the blond head that suddenly popped out of the mirror was none other than Vermouth.

For a popular idol like her, this face left a very deep impression on her; it's the kind of face she'll probably never forget in her lifetime.

Of course, she never expected that she would see that face again.

Moreover, this is under the current circumstances.

Sensing the fear in Ms. Yoko's voice, Yin Kong immediately offered words of comfort:

"Don't worry, she's the real Chris Vineyard, not the one we encountered before."

After dismantling the body of the "Hundred-Faced Witch," Yin Kong naturally informed Okino Yoko about it, thus resolving a long-standing issue for this idol.

However, Yoko Okino looked at the head in Yin Kong's hand and hesitated to speak.

After all, it doesn't look like a real human being at all, does it?

Director Ochiai suddenly asked:

"Gentlemen, I need to use the restroom, is that alright?"

Yin Kong glanced at Director Ochiai, knowing that he didn't intend to pry into any unnecessary secrets, and nodded:

"Of course, Director Ochiai. Do you need help showing us the way?"

"That won't be necessary. I already asked about the location of the toilet."

After the old curator left, Yoko Okino walked up to Yin Kong and cautiously asked:

"Yin Kong, is she dead?"

Common sense told her that a person with only one head left was bound to die.

But after calming down, she was shocked to discover that the head seemed to be breathing.

"Almost."

Yin Kong frowned as he spoke.

He wasn't talking nonsense; although Vermouth's vitality had become incredibly tenacious after merging with the [Changing Witch].

Even if her heart were pierced, she could probably laugh and say, "It's just a minor fatal wound."

Even so, Vermouth was now on her last breath.

Furthermore, once the energy in her eyeballs is depleted, she will die completely.

Chapter 259 Reshaping the Body

After a moment's thought, Yin Kong took the fragment of the Shikon Jewel out of his backpack.

Although he had mastered many talisman techniques for restoration and purification, for Vermouth, who was currently relying entirely on the eyeballs of the [Hundred-Faced Witch] to maintain her last breath, any elemental power would be nothing more than the last straw that broke the camel's back.

On the contrary, the Shikon Jewel is something these demons crave.

Yin Kong flicked his finger, and the tiny fragment immediately shot into Vermouth's eyeball.

Immediately, a dim light appeared, and the eyeballs, which had been struggling to stay afloat, instantly gained almost inexhaustible power.

Under the shocked gazes of Yoko Okino and Yukino Yukinoshita, the flesh below Vermouth's neck began to writhe and regenerate wildly.

However, Yin Kong soon discovered that, with the support of the Shikon Jewel fragments, while the Eyeball of the Hundred-Faced Witch did maintain Vermouth's precarious life, it did not go any further as he had hoped, directly stimulating the other party's body to take shape.

On the contrary, ugly fleshy spikes quickly emerged from Vermouth's neck and lunged at Yin Kong, roaring loudly:

"My body! I want my body!"

Clearly, it felt that it was more convenient to directly seize another person's body than to reshape it.

Yin Kong didn't even need to lift a finger when faced with the fleshy spikes shooting towards him; Vermouth's head screamed and fell back to the ground.

Clearly, even under these circumstances, Zhongli's talisman was still effective.

If "Vermouth" has even the slightest thought of harming Yin Kong, she will be restrained by the restriction.

However, the head that had landed on the ground was still not behaving itself and turned directly towards Yoko Okino and the others.

But just as it begins to move, it will immediately plummet with a scream.

The next moment, a golden rock spear materialized in Yin Kong's hand, and without saying a word, it pierced the creature's throat, pinning it to the ground.

Then, a golden magic circle appeared on the ground, completely trapping Vermouth's head and rendering her unable to move.

"As expected, the consciousness currently occupying this body is neither Vermouth nor the [Changing Witch]..."

Yin Kong extended his index finger and placed it between Vermouth's eyebrows.

While the "Ever-Changing Witch" may be inherently bad, she is simply evil, not stupid.

Or rather, even if it were incredibly stupid, it would have already realized that attacking Yin Kong now would be suicidal, and would have immediately lunged at the mirror to try and escape.

The body currently in control is likely a combination of the lingering malice in the eyes of the "Hundred-Faced Witch" and the evil intent within the fragments of the "Shikon Jewel."

Twisted and evil, but lacking a complete sense of self.

With a thought from Yin Kong, the talisman that Zhong Li had left in Vermouth's consciousness shone brightly, easily shattering the malice.

Although malice still continuously flows from the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, it can no longer cause any disturbance under the suppression of the talismans, and it is even less likely to take control of the body.

Yin Kong also calmed down and began to help Belmore sort out the various powers in his body.

Shadow power, spiritual power, demonic power, the soul power of the Shikon Jewel...

However, at this moment, Vermouth's body was already in complete chaos.

Several forces are intertwined, each containing the other, blending together yet fighting each other, making it impossible to distinguish one another.

Fortunately, as a descendant, Yin Kong is an extremely special being.

He could easily control any kind of power, so when his will intervened, the originally chaotic forces gradually stopped "fighting" and gradually separated.

The ugly fleshy spikes that had been spawned by the fragments of the Shikon Jewel immediately fell off and were burned to ashes by the golden array.

Under Yin Kong's control, the power of shadow and the power of the Shikon Jewel finally stopped causing trouble and began to behave themselves, working together to help Vermouth rebuild her body.

"As expected of Yin Kong."

About five minutes later, seeing Vermouth reappear unharmed, Yelan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

After all, even she rarely had the chance to see such a magical scene.

As for Yoko Okino and Yukino Yukinoshita, there's no need to elaborate further.

They had no doubt that with this move alone, even if Yin Kong wanted to establish a divine kingdom on earth, many wealthy and political figures would be willing to support him.

Once Vermouth had fully recovered, Yin Kong immediately had Ye Lan carry her away from the training room, under the incredibly curious gazes of Yoko and Yukinoshita.

Not long after, Vermouth awoke from her coma:

Am I... already dead?

Looking at the completely unfamiliar ceiling, the Thousand-Faced Witch couldn't help but ask this question.

"Indeed, it was just a hair's breadth away."

Yin Kong's voice immediately rang out.

He wasn't exaggerating; the power contained in the eyes of the "Ever-Changing Witch" is also limited.

According to his estimate, without replenishment, he could only hold on for another half a minute at most before he could not continue.

In other words, if Vermouth hadn't found Yin Kong, or if Yin Kong hadn't come up with a suitable solution, she should indeed be dead by now.

"BOSS."

Vermouth immediately sat up, looked at Yin Kong and Ye Lan in front of her, and her expression relaxed again.

However, she quickly covered her eyes, looking somewhat puzzled.

Before she could ask, Yin Kong explained directly:

"Don't worry, the eye hasn't disappeared. It's just that your body has completely adapted to it, so you won't feel anything unusual anymore."

Vermouth nodded slightly, unsure whether to be happy or disappointed.

Without her eyes, the immense power she now wields will naturally cease to exist, but correspondingly, the restrictions enveloping her mind might also disappear.

For her, it was hard to say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Seeing this, Ye Lan immediately asked:

"So, what exactly happened?"

While Vermouth's strength is far inferior to that of Yin Kong and the others from the Rabbit House, for ordinary people, it's like a complete dimensional reduction attack.

Especially after she had basically digested the legacy of the "Hundred-Faced Witch", even ordinary demons at levels 20 or 30 were no match for her.

With the ability to disguise himself and jump through mirrors, he should have no problem surviving even powerful demons of level 50 or 60.

What kind of opponent could have made her so disheveled, to the point that she almost died?

Chapter 260 Trap

"What I've encountered this time isn't an opponent, but a trap."

Vermouth sighed unconsciously and began to recount her experiences with a somewhat complicated expression.

Simply put, she was set up.

Strictly speaking, this scheme wasn't specifically targeting her, but rather those who were collecting the demon sword fragments.

This morning, Vermouth stumbled upon a clue to a fragment of a demon sword.

After a thorough investigation, she finally retrieved the fragment in an underground room, but just as she took the fragment—

The sudden and terrifying explosion destroyed everything in an instant.

Fortunately, Vermouth has long since developed the good habit of carrying an escape mirror with her, which gave her a chance to survive.

Even so, she only had time to stick her head into the mirror.

As for the body left outside the mirror, it naturally turned to ashes along with the escape mirror in the horrific explosion.

"So, you were the one who caused the big explosion just now?"

Yin Kong and Ye Lan exchanged a glance. There was no need to press further; a name was already subtly surfacing in their minds—

After all, very few people know about the existence of the demon sword fragment, and even fewer would use it as bait to set such a trap.

Furthermore, given their ability to acquire such a large quantity of explosives in Tokyo, even if it's just in the suburbs, their influence must be considerable.

Aside from Karasuma Renya, the former boss of the Black Organization, Yin Kong couldn't think of any other person who fit the criteria.

So, is this their revenge?

Someone wanted to build a new brewery, taking away his position, or even killing him. Karasuma Renya was naturally not going to sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Yin Kong hadn't expected the other party to choose such a simple and brutal method.

Using the demon sword fragments as bait, they blasted the attracted people into the air with a loud bang.

Of course, he also had to admit that the simpler and more direct the method, the more effective it often was.

Although there is no mysterious force involved, the destructive power of such a massive explosion is enough to compensate for most of the problems.
