Finally, someone broke the silence.

"Sugita... Sugita, no... is it not okay? Or should we retreat?"

His voice trembled, and he shrank behind Sugita, glancing around in surprise and doubt.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the temperature had dropped quite a bit.

The night seemed to grow even deeper.

Just then, Sugita suddenly spoke, his tone quite relaxed, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief:

"They're firing freely; it seems like they're making a last-ditch effort!"

The man instinctively reached for his gun at his waist.

The gun handle is engraved with star patterns.

That was something that Kozo Soneya obtained through special channels; it came from the inventory of a major northern country.

Cheap, durable, and powerful are its only advantages.

Suddenly, one after another, snow-white figures emerged from the mountains and forests.

It looks like a human with four limbs, but its crooked and twisted appearance is chilling.

Where the head should be, facial features were randomly drawn on with a pen by someone, so ugly it was appalling, like a child's doodle.

In the current environment, it's absolutely bizarre.

"Paper...paper...paper figure..."

Some people's legs were shaking so badly that they almost couldn't hold their guns.

Although I knew there was something strange about this dilapidated shrine and had experienced it before, the impact was still completely different from seeing the paper figures jumping around and gathering towards me.

If I hadn't known that leaving the group in this situation would mean certain death, I probably would have run down the mountain by now.

"Hahahaha……"

A silvery laugh rang out from the paper figure's scarlet mouth.

It was chilling, devoid of any trace of the living world.

"Leave now, and no one will get hurt."

The girl's voices overlapped and blended together, and the paper figures all raised their heads to look at the group of men who were now terrified.

Their gazes were focused on Sugita, whose face was full of disdain.

"Otherwise, I will..."

"Ignite the sea?"

Someone subconsciously added a comment.

The paper figures paused for a moment, then simultaneously turned to look at him.

The eyes that were casually drawn glowed red, clearly showing their dissatisfaction.

idiot!

The man was so angry he laughed. He slapped the man who had spoken hard on the head and roared:

"What are you standing there for? Shoot!"

Since Sugita said he was free to fire, it means that firearms are effective against these monsters.

If it works, then there's nothing to be afraid of!

Just like when playing a horror game, what's scariest is actually when you can't touch it.

But as long as you have a health bar and a weapon at hand, what else is there to say but to just do it!

Release the safety, raise the gun with your right hand, aim, and support your wrist with your left hand.

Then he fired!

A thunderous explosion echoed far and wide through the mountains and forests.

The firelight flashed and disappeared in the darkness.

The noise woke up the nearby residents, who rushed to the window and looked up at the sky.

What's going on? Is it going to rain heavily?

The paper figure's head shattered with a crack, then, accompanied by wisps of smoke, transformed into a palm-sized paper figure that drifted to the ground.

The man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Thank goodness, if we can really kill it, then there's no problem.

Feeling much more at ease, he quickly raised his gun and aimed at the remaining paper figures.

The others, though handling firearms for the first time and being quite clumsy, even injured their wrists from the shock of trying to fire like they did in crime dramas, still managed to gain something out of it.

Emptying a magazine will at least take down one or two paper figures.

There were only about seven or eight paper figures that had gathered around, but soon they all floated to the ground and fell silent.

Inside the rear hall's reception room, Suzumoto Mayu let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"The plan is going smoothly."

Looking at Natsukawa Masuzu, who was already prepared, the two nodded together.

It's time to take action.

Volume 1: Chapter 202 (4K) There were no mediocre people living in my era.

"The shots have already been fired..."

At the foot of the mountain, Soneya Kozo pressed his entire face against the car window, squinting as he looked up at the mountain.

Even sitting inside the car, he could hear the loud noise coming from the mountain.

As the planner of tonight's operation, he naturally wouldn't mistake the sound for a muffled thunderclap.

That's why he felt even more upset.

Doesn't this prove that the operation was not going well, and that it had even reached the point where five yakuza members had to use guns to resolve the situation?

He couldn't help but recall the warning that the boy had given him years ago.

But at this point, he had no other choice.

He would either be besieged by the Yukinoshita family, leading to the complete destruction of the Sonegaya family, and he would be imprisoned due to the exposure of multiple crimes.

Either take the shard of the Killing Stone, then use your last strength to escape, and before being captured, go to Kyoto to awaken that person.

It seems that even though the master of the purification shrine is not here, there is still an incomprehensible power hidden within this shrine.

As expected, his decision to have the Extreme Dragon God Group do it instead of doing it himself was the right one.

I just don't know if these people will be able to complete their mission successfully, and they need to be quick.

He didn't believe that Yukinoshita's family wasn't watching him.

Now that the gunshots have rang out, Chiba's detectives are probably already on their way here.

And in fact, just as he thought, Nitta Yoshifumi had been keeping watch on the only road near the Soneya family's residence under the orders of Yukinoshita Haruno.

He followed the Toyota Crown after seeing it drive out tonight.

As a yakuza member, even if an ordinary person couldn't react, how could he not recognize that it was a gunshot? He had already called the police the moment it started.

His current task is to keep a close eye on Kozo Soneya before the detectives arrive, preventing him from escaping.

With his arms smuggling activities and other scandals, the Soneya family is doomed.

"It seems that they have no other choice but to fight desperately."

On the approach to the temple, Sugita calmly observed the scene before him.

He showed no sign of urgency whatsoever.

He was well aware of Soneya Kozo's situation, but what did it have to do with him?

From the very beginning, this ruthless politician was merely a pawn in his game.

Even the guy who was to be resurrected was just an experiment by his true master.

As for ruling this country? What's the point of ruling a place destined for destruction?

The reason he made his move tonight was simply to retrieve that fragment of the Killing Stone.

Everything else is unimportant.

He lowered his head and glanced at the panting yakuza behind him.

Although those paper figures never managed to harm them in the end, they simply aimed and fired throughout.

However, facing such bizarre things that completely defy common sense puts a lot of mental pressure on them.

Seeing the last paper figure fall down, the man finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

My legs went weak and I almost collapsed to the ground.

However, mindful of his image as the eldest brother in Ruodi's eyes, he still managed to hold on.

There was no time to relax; they immediately began asking about the situation.

"Check how many bullets we have left."

"I'm done playing."

"I'm out too."

The remaining three clumsily removed the magazines and reported back one after another.

They were handling firearms for the first time and had never received any shooting training. Under these circumstances, it was already quite good that they managed to avoid accidentally firing at their own teammates.

Even on the battlefield, there are still people who blindfold themselves, raise their guns above their heads, and randomly choose a lucky spot to empty their magazines.

Expecting these Reiwa idiots to calmly aim and fire is completely unrealistic.

In reality, the men were the ones who destroyed most of the paper figures.

He skillfully ejected his magazine, checked it, and found he was out of bullets.

After a moment's hesitation, he holstered the gun back at his waist and looked up at the motionless Sugita:

"Can we continue?"

He had already decided that after this job was done, he would recommend Sugita to the head of the family to succeed him, while he himself would retire to a management position and wait to retire.

Although at the beginning of the night, Sugita was still playing with his lousy pet butterfly, which gave off a somewhat unreliable vibe.

However, once things really started, this kid was truly outstanding. Even setting aside what he learned from the priest, his calm demeanor and excellent observation skills alone surpassed everyone else.

Let's see what kind of trash the new generation in this group is.

One person spends money every day buying handshake tickets for underground idols, which leads to them having no money for food and having to rely on themselves for support.

A person obsessed with anime and manga, instead of improving their professional skills, studies how to do makeup, how to cosplay, and how to go to the high school gate to look at female students without getting arrested by the security guard.

The last one is even worse; he's a pure Pachinko son.

"Yes, the other side has run out of options, that's fine..."

Sugita nodded, and just as he was about to say something, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Before she could speak, she clasped her hands together forcefully, and with a burst of spiritual energy, pushed the man away from her.

A deep blue light illuminated the surrounding area, causing air currents to surge and stir up clothing.

At that moment, the palm-sized paper figures that had been lying quietly on the ground, riddled with holes, suddenly emitted light.

In the air, streaks of azure light flashed and eventually connected, forming a huge Kikyo Seal magic circle that pressed down on Sugita.

Two sparks of inspiration collided, vying with each other.

At the same time, golden ropes shot out from the bellflower seal.

However, the target was not Sugita, but rather they bypassed him and went straight for the exhausted yakuza.

The man felt his body suddenly being bound by an invisible force, hanging in the air.
