When Ito Keiko was a child, her father wanted to train her to be a successor. He told her many things about the Protectorate and even took her to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony of the Protectorate.

But Keiko Ito was not interested in these solemn and serious things and forgot them all.

Under the threat of death, she finally recalled many things, including being taken by her father to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony of the Protectorate when she was a child.

She still remembered that she saw a beautiful miko during the ceremony and had the idea of ​​becoming a miko when she grew up, but was severely scolded by her father.

Xu Cheng immediately asked: "Where is the location of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony? Will all members of the Protectorate Association participate?"

Keiko Ito was a little unsure and said: "It should be on Mount Untori near Tokyo. I remember that there was a temple there that was not open to outsiders and dedicated to Amaterasu. There should be many people attending. I remember there were many people.

"

Qiu Gongyue then asked: "When will the heavenly sacrifice ceremony begin?"

Ito Keiko shook her head: "I don't know, but when I was a child, it should have been the same autumn as now. You can see red leaves everywhere on Mount Kuntori."

Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue pressed for a while and asked for a lot of information.

For example, members of the Protectorate Council can enjoy the power given by Amaterasu, which is called a blessing. When using the blessing, their eyes will turn red.

Xu Cheng immediately remembered that whether it was the weapons master or the Kagebei, they had all used this power that would cause the eyes to turn red.

Ito Keiko finally remembered that the most feared thing about the heavenly sacrifice ceremony was that it would interfere with the high priest, which would cause the ceremony to fail.

Xu Cheng asked curiously: "Which one is the great priest?"

Ito Keiko shook her head: "I only remember that he was an old man holding a samurai sword. He was very, very old."

When she was a child, her father took her to participate in a heavenly sacrifice ceremony. When she wanted to make a sound during the ceremony, she was severely stopped by her father.

Afterwards, her father told her not to interfere with the communication between the high priest and Amaterasu, otherwise the ceremony would fail and Amaterasu would punish her.

Xu Cheng and Akimiya Yue asked some more questions, but Keiko Ito couldn't remember any more.

"last question."

Xu Cheng looked into Keiko Ito's eyes: "Does Amaterasu really exist?"

Keiko Ito was stunned for a moment, and finally shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

Sankan told her that Amaterasu definitely did not exist, but after joining the Protectorate Council, even as a peripheral member, she was exposed to many things that destroyed Sankan, and now she is in a state of fragmented worldview.

After properly handling these three people, Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue left Saitama County and embarked on their way home.

On the subway, Xu Cheng sent a message to Hoshizaki Yukina, asking her to investigate whether there is a temple on Mount Untori that does not accept outsiders and is dedicated to worshiping Amaterasu, and where is its specific location.

It was still early, so Hoshizaki Yukina responded to the message quickly.

"There is indeed a temple dedicated to Amaterasu. It does not receive guests. There seems to be sacrificial activities in the past two days."

The location she also sent by the way was in a very remote place in Yuntori Mountain, and it was also on private property.

"Are there any sacrificial activities?"

Could it be that the heavenly sacrifice ceremony mentioned by Keiko Ito is about to begin within these two days?

While Xu Cheng was thinking, he suddenly felt Qiu Gongyue staring at him from the side, and couldn't help turning his head to look at her: "Is something wrong?"

Qiu Gongyue's lips parted slightly: "Are you planning to go alone?"

Although her eyes and tone were calm, Xu Cheng had an intuition that if she said yes, she would be very angry.

"yes……"

Xu Cheng replied.

Qiu Gongyue immediately clenched her fists, raised her eyebrows, and had flames flickering in her eyes.

Xu Cheng continued: "But it's not the case. I think it's safer to take you with me."

Qiu Gongyue suppressed her anger and showed a look that knows you.

Xu Cheng continued: "But it seems too dangerous to take you with me, so why don't I go alone."

Qiu Gongyue's anger that had just been suppressed emerged again: "You..."

Xu Cheng was still saying: "I don't feel comfortable going alone, so I still need your help."

Qiu Gongyue: "..."

"It doesn't seem necessary to ask you to help."

"..."

"But if something happens, I might still need your help."

"..."

Qiu Gongyue couldn't tell that Xu Cheng was deliberately teasing herself.

Seeing that he was still chattering, Qiu Gongyue suddenly stretched out her foot and kicked Xu Cheng to the ground, then bent down and grabbed his legs, spinning the windmill rapidly in the carriage.

"Hmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Xu Cheng screamed, and his head kept hitting the seats and handles around him.

Finally, Qiu Gongyue grabbed his neck, banged his head against the window, broke the window directly, and then pushed half of his body out.

"No, Yue-chan!"

Xu Cheng made a frightened plea for mercy: "I won't make you angry anymore. Please let me go."

Qiu Gongyue sneered: "It's too late, go to hell and reflect slowly."

A subway train was approaching in the distance. Qiu Gongyue violently pushed Xu Cheng out, letting him fall on the rails and be crushed into a pulp.

Cause of death: teasing girls.

"New moon? New moon?"

Qiu Gongyue came back to her senses and found Xu Cheng waving his arms in front of her.

"Are you OK?"

Xu Cheng asked worriedly: "Why do I keep seeing you distracted recently?"

As a killer, it is taboo to lose focus.

Seeing the concern in Xu Cheng's eyes, Qiu Gongyue felt warm in her heart, then she raised her foot and stepped hard on the sole of his foot.

"Fuck!"

Xu Cheng screamed in pain, Qiu Gongyue had already grabbed his collar, pushed him to the armrest, and stared into his eyes face to face.

The distance between their faces at this time was about palm length. Although it was too far apart from the time in the closet, to other people in the subway, this was the distance between lovers.

"You are not allowed to go to Yuntori Mountain alone. If you want to go, you have to go with me."

Qiu Gongyue said directly in a commanding tone: "Did you hear that?"

"I originally wanted to go with you."

"I asked you if you heard me?"

"……heard it."

Qiu Gongyue then let go of Xu Cheng and helped him tidy up his collar.

Xu Cheng was confused and didn't understand why Qiu Gongyue suddenly became tough.

Qiu Gongyue pretended to be nonchalant, but her whole heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She didn't know why she did this suddenly. Maybe she was impatient and Xu Cheng was deliberately teasing her.

However, this feeling of forcibly ordering him... is a bit addictive.

The two of them returned home with their own thoughts, separated, returned to their original appearance, and went home one after another, but they still bumped into each other at the door.

Xu Cheng was the first to say hello: "Qiugong Sang, are you home from get off work?"

Qiu Gongyue nodded and said with concern: "Mr. Landlady, do you always go out alone recently? It's very dangerous outside. It's better to bring one more person with you next time you go out."

Is it necessary to come back and remind me again?

Xu Cheng exposed her dark history: "Didn't you say last time that Japan is very safe and it's not dangerous to go out alone in the middle of the night?"

"I did say that."

Akimiya sighed slightly: "But who would have thought that someone would be shot dead on the road in broad daylight. Japan is indeed too dangerous."

Xu Cheng instinctively wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start. He could only say: "Don't worry, I will take care of you."

Only then did Qiu Gongyue feel satisfied.

If Xu Cheng still goes alone secretly, Qiu Gongyue will plant a bomb under his bed.

Just blow him up to death.

…

Hoshizaki Yukina investigated and asked what kind of sacrificial activities would be held at the Amaterasu Temple on Mount Untori in the past two days. The private land on Mount Untori was not accessible at all.

Xu Cheng judged that the Protectorate Association was going to hold a so-called heavenly sacrifice ceremony inside, and most of its members would participate.

He planned to wait until the other party was in the process of a heavenly sacrifice ceremony, then lead his men to kill them all, and kill them all in one fell swoop.

Two days flew by in a blink of an eye.

Xu Cheng has not been idle these two days. Every day, he lets Hoshizaki Yukina take him into the tomb of Reiko and practice ability cards and killer cards at the same time.

He successfully cultivated the killer card's breathing method to the fourth level lv2, and accelerated the concentration speed of the little boy's bomb, shortening it to five seconds in one breath, and was ready for the decisive battle.

That night, Xu Cheng was waiting at home for the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony of the Protectorate to begin.

He sat in front of the computer and opened the coding software. As soon as he pressed his hand on the keyboard, the manager's prompt sounded, and sure enough, a task came.

He was not surprised and instead sneered.

"Dog management, do you think I want to update? In fact, I am just preparing to write a leave request."

After sneering, Xu Cheng quickly wrote a note asking for leave.

"The enemy who has been scheming against me finally found his lair. Their members gathered together to perform some kind of cult ritual. This is a God-given opportunity. I will rush over tonight and kill them all, so there is no chance for today or tomorrow.

renew."

I just posted the leave request, and as soon as I refreshed it, I immediately saw a few posts about this chapter.

This surprised Xu Cheng. He originally thought that almost no one would read this book due to frequent vacations, but he didn't expect that someone would be updating it at night.

He couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

"Is there anyone who reads the leave application form as much as I do?"

"+1, me too."

"Author, stop updating your crappy novel. No one is reading it. Focus on updating your leave request. It will become popular."

"The author was going to save his friend's sister two days ago, and today he is going to kill someone. Besides writing novels, does he have any side job? Could he be a part-time killer?"

"The prophet upstairs has been shot."

Seeing these chapters, Xu Cheng was speechless for a long time.

He opened the comment section of the novel that he had not seen for a long time, and found that it was very lively. No one in the comment section was discussing the novel anymore. They were all discussing the leave request.

There are even readers who hold fan activities and invite readers to write fan stories based on his request for leave. He has already written dozens of articles.

Xu Cheng felt numb after reading it. He actually seemed to be writing the leave request as a diary. No one on the Internet would recognize him anyway.

But it's quite outrageous that it can cause such a huge amount of heat.

His comment on this was: Talented, but still too full.

After closing the comment area, he took a look at the task.

[Mission: Protect the National Assembly]

[Difficulty: Difficult]

[Content: The Protectorate is about to hold a heavenly sacrifice ceremony, let’s bury them all in one go]

[Whether to accept the task]

Seeing the difficulty of the task, Xu Cheng's expression suddenly became serious.

So far, he has only experienced hard mode missions in the Tomb of Lingzi. There are absolutely no shortcuts and he must rely on hard power to pass the level.

Thinking of his experience in Lingzi's Tomb, Xu Cheng took out the ability card and loaded it, hesitated for a few seconds, and then simply upgraded the chaotic energy of the ability to a strong ability in one go.

It is better to upgrade now in advance than to fail to upgrade on the spot.

[Task Point 7-3]

[(Exotic) Chaos Energy lv3+1]

There are only 4 mission points left, and Chaos Energy has been successfully upgraded to (Strong) Chaos Energy lv1.

Xu Cheng's body did not show any obvious changes. He created some chaotic energy and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

He quickly opened his eyes, showing a surprised expression.

He originally thought that the first three levels were morphological changes, and that there would be qualitative changes at the fourth level. Who knew that the fourth level would still be morphological changes, but more detailed.

It can change between three forms: gas, liquid, and solid.

A ball of dark red chaotic energy appeared in Xu Cheng's palm, and the next moment it turned into a small ball of dark red liquid rolling on his palm.

The liquid finally solidified into a solid the size of a rice grain, but it was very unstable.

Xu Cheng understood that as the form changed, the volume would also shrink, but the power would also increase, just like when he compressed the little boy's bomb.

Now he no longer needs to perform compression himself, the upgraded ability already has its own compression effect.

It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise he would have to experiment carefully.

After turning off the computer, Xu Cheng stood up, took out two pinhole cameras from the bag on the side, and installed them in the room.

After debugging, he lay down on the bed, accepted the task, and disappeared into a white light.

The next moment, white light appeared on the river embankment not far from home.

Xu Cheng subconsciously looked down the river embankment. Sure enough, there were two or three fishermen sitting on the fishing position that was in an excellent position.

Xu Cheng felt quite regretful, then put on his ability card and sent a message to Qiu Gongyue, asking her to come from home to join them.

At the same time, the manager's prompt tone also sounded.

[Task begins]

[You only have ten chances to come back, please cherish it]

[You are a member of the Super Power Association and the deputy leader of the Miracle Justice Corps. Your old enemy, the Protectorate, is holding a heavenly sacrifice ceremony. Members are gathering in large groups. This is a God-given opportunity. Please wipe out all of the Protectorate and become their gravedigger.

If the exposed task manager exists, the task will be deemed to have failed]

[Please wait at the river embankment to meet the new moon]

[Connection code: What animal doesn’t run away and looks back when shot by a hunter?]

Come, come, the evil spirit is here again.

If the dog management keeps playing like this, Xu Cheng is afraid that all his merits will be deducted, and he will be served directly in hell in the future.

What, laughing at foreigners does not deduct merit?

That's okay.

…

After Qiu Gongyue received the message from Xu Cheng, she rushed to his door as soon as possible, took out the spare key she had secretly prepared, and opened the door.

Just when she was about to push the door open, her movements stopped.

He was obviously at home, why didn't Xu Cheng call him and walk away together instead of using this method?

Is it a trap?

She became alert and did not open the door rashly, but turned around and returned to her bedroom.

On the river embankment, Xu Cheng was staring at the screen on his mobile phone.

When he saw the door being pushed open, he shook hands excitedly.

"I was caught...well..."

The person who opened the door was a woman wrapped up tightly, with a mask, sunglasses and a hat on her face.

Although you can tell it is Qiu Gongyue by watching the game, but this is not evidence at all.

Xu Cheng was helpless, knowing that his plan had failed.

Qiu Gongyue quickly found two pinhole cameras in the room, sneered disdainfully at Xu Cheng through the cameras, and then removed both cameras.

The infuriated Xu Cheng immediately sent a message to Qiu Gongyue - his home had been robbed.

Qiu Gongyue quickly replied - I have already gone out, please call the police.

After replying to Xu Cheng's message, Qiu Gongyue reinstalled the pinhole camera she bought in Xu Cheng's room.

Since he knew there was a problem at home, Xu Cheng would definitely not teleport back.

But Qiu Gongyue will find a way to force him to use teleportation to return home, and then capture him in one fell swoop.

After finishing it, Qiu Gongyue took her things and left the house, found a place to put on her mask, and came to the river embankment to meet Xu Cheng.

I searched around but couldn't find anyone, and finally I found Xu Cheng squatting under the river embankment watching the fisherman fishing.

Qiu Gongyue's heart suddenly tightened. Everything was fine, but she must not become a fisherman.

If you become a fishing guy, then you will have nothing in your heart. Everything is inferior, only fishing is good.

Noticing the appearance of Qiu Gongyue, Xu Cheng walked up the river embankment and said the secret code for the joint: "What animal does not run away when shot by a hunter, but also looks back?"

Qiu Gongyue didn't even know why Xu Cheng liked Hell Joke so much.

And he also likes to make up Japanese jokes.

She glared at Xu Cheng and said, "Former Prime Minister of Japan."

The answer is correct.

It was almost time for the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony to be held by the Protectorate, so Xu Cheng did not waste time and sent a message to the limited edition mount to ask her to carry people.

Hoshizaki Yukina soon appeared in front of the two of them, dressed neatly, and obviously prepared for tonight's action.

She stretched out her hand to grab the two of them, and teleported them to Chizuru Godera's villa.

Both Chizuru Godera and the Prophet were wearing black training uniforms and combat vests, and were ready to attack.

Originally, Xu Cheng did not intend to involve Chizuru Godera, but she herself had a grudge against the Protectorate. If it had not been for the Protectorate, the Godera family and her brother would not have ended up like this.

So when Xu Cheng was about to launch a surprise attack on the Protectorate, Chizuru Yudera must also be involved.

Not to mention the prophet, who only cooperated with Xu Cheng in order to avenge the Protectorate.

The Nagumo sisters were left to look after the family. Nagumo Narumi looked unconvinced. She felt that she was also a party involved. How could such an attack be omitted without her?

She also plausibly said that "the flowers in the greenhouse are too delicate and must go through wind, frost and rain before they can truly grow." Chizuru Odera was actually a little moved by what she said.

In the end, it took Nagumo Asuka's beating to physically dispel his sister's desire to follow him.

In the living room, four people surrounded Hoshizaki Yukina, and they all reached out to grab her.

"I won't say anything if I raise the flag. Tonight should be the final battle."

Xu Cheng looked around and whispered: "Let's go."
Chapter completed!
