But even with the blessing of ability, there is no possibility that it will be like this.
At this moment, the jet-black blade of the large sword [Lion King] with the pattern of "Lion's Roar under the Moon" in Momomiya Izaya's hand seemed to be a ball of black ink gradually spreading in all directions in the warm water.
The whole knife is like a real living thing, greedily breathing the surrounding air. In a trance, you can even hear the terrifying heartbeat like a loud bell and a heavy drum, as if an indescribable thing from the abyss of hell is coveting the reality in front of you.
world.
The veins on the backs of Momomiya Izaya's hands were also exposed, and his breathing became slightly heavier, as if he was fighting against something.
The next second, his thumb against the knife was slightly loosened.
A clang!
The Lion King falls back into the scabbard.
The strange black energy and all the strangeness just disappeared instantly. Momomiya Izaya put away his knife and stood there, looking calmly at the Kyogoku River.
It was as if everything just now was an illusion.
However, Principal Kyogoku Kawamizu's heart was filled with turmoil. He stared straight at the [Lion King] in Momomiya Izaya's hand. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat felt a little dry.
Nothing can be said.
Kyogoku Kawamizu has been involved in a wide range of things in his life and has knowledge of various fields. When he was young, he even worked as an apprentice in a forging shop inherited by aristocratic families like Kyoto. He has seen too much in his life at this age.
But he has never seen this scene before!
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in the mind of Kyogoku Kawazui, who had read many books, and suddenly recalled a certain unofficial history book he had read, which vaguely recorded an incident that happened in the previous generation of humans against the Nine Families.
Strange anecdotes that appeared during the great revolutionary period.
It is said that in the human revolutionary army at that time, a warrior holding a "demon knife" that could suck blood appeared inexplicably. The knife in his hand seemed to come to life. He fought like crazy and was unbeatable. His strength increased rapidly in the killing.
Less than seven levels of absolute ability.
Later, the human warrior was beheaded by a strong man from the Nine Celestial Families, and the sword left behind after his death became ordinary.
This kind of unofficial history is similar to folklore.
When Kyogoku Chuansui first saw it, he also laughed it off.
To this day, when he saw the large sword [The Lion King] in Momomiya Izaya's hand that gave him the same illusion of being alive, the memory of the "demon sword" suddenly revived in his mind.
But the [Lion King] is the sword of Momomiya Haruzo, the master of the previous generation "Eisin Itto-ryu" dojo. Kyogoku Kawamizu visited the Momonomiya dojo in Kyoto when he was young, and he also saw this "lion's roar under the moon" pattern.
The black lacquer sword was unsheathed, but it had never felt as heart-stopping as it does now.
Across the wooden floor, Momomiya Izaya raised his head and glanced at Kyogoku Kawamizu, who had a complicated look on his face, and said softly, "You should know by now, I am not alone. My father came back from Naraku Prison to stay."
On this knife, he is waiting for me to cut off the enemy's head to pay tribute to him."
Kyogoku Kawazui opened his mouth
He wanted to say that based on his understanding of Momomiya Haruzo's character, even if there were such illusory things as ghosts, as a father he would never bear the heavy yoke of hatred for his only son.
But he didn't say this out loud.
Because no matter what happened to this sword, it obviously gave Momomiya Izaya a great boost, and even gave him the confidence to face an eighth-level demigod with peak seventh-level strength.
The other party has decided to take revenge.
It would be useless if he said anything more.
After all, Kyogoku Kawamizu had seen too many strange things in his life, and he quickly recovered from the initial shock.
He smiled bitterly, turned around and pointed downstairs and said, "Soldier first, then courtesy. Since our discussion is over, let's sit down and talk about anything. By the way, I'll treat you to a taste of the good tea I got recently."
There is a built-in staircase between the two floors of the principal's office building. When you go down the stairs, you will see bookshelves surrounding the office on the first floor. There are densely packed books in them, with traces of frequent reading, not
That kind of person who puts on a show-off, it seems that Principal Kyogoku Kawamizu's extensive knowledge is not something he just talks about casually.
Momomiya Izaya put on his pair of wooden clogs, left the simple dojo on the second floor, and walked down the stairs followed by Kyogoku Gawamizu.
The two sat down at the tea table not far from the desk on the first floor. Kyogoku Kawami walked to the corner and opened an antique sandalwood tea cabinet. There were many different varieties of tea in it. The aroma of tea and sandalwood complemented each other.
The mixture emits a strange fragrance.
He picked out a new can of tea, walked back to the tea table, and poured it into the mountain spring water that had been boiling just before going upstairs to discuss. The rich and tangy aroma of tea instantly filled the air.
"please."
"Thanks."
They both picked up the teacups at the same time.
After a while, Kyogoku Chuansui put down the tea cup and asked with a smile, "How was it?"
"Not bad." Momomiya Linya said calmly.
"Ox chewing peonies."
Kyogoku Kawamizu smiled and shook his head, "I shouldn't waste my tea on you."
"Since my father passed away, I rarely drink tea." Momomiya Izaya calmly put down the teacup in his hand and rubbed the smooth side of the cup with his fingertips.
The topic is back to where it started.
Kyogoku Kawamizu gave a helpless smile and his face gradually became serious.
"Okay, even if you are well prepared this time, and I believe you have the strength, how can you avenge the Master of Peach Palace? You are not alone now."
Momomiya Izaya is now not only the current owner of the "Esshin Itto-ryu" dojo in Kyoto and the vice president of the Kyoto Kendo Association, but he also serves as the head coach of the Kendo Association at Takehara Minami Private Academy in Kyoto. He has various social connections.
complex.
In other words, even if he really finds the Seventh Adjudicator, successfully assassinates him for revenge, and escapes smoothly.
But behind the other party is a behemoth like the Adjudication Division. If a person is charged with assassinating a law enforcement officer, even if he cannot be found, his gym can be found. Even the Takehara Minami private academy in Kyoto will be implicated.
As for hiding your identity to avenge your father, that is even less realistic.
In fact, most powerful people in this world have traces to follow and have their own growth trajectories. If you want to check, you can always find clues. After all, even the most talented people do not appear out of thin air.
Oh, by the way, except for the Dragonfly captain who calls himself the "New Tokyo Discipline Committee" and the figure hidden behind the dark golden mask.
The astonishing low-level universal [Shadow Instant] ability, and the fighting style of winning with absolute speed. It really feels like falling from the sky.
There is absolutely no trace to be found.
But Taogong Lin was different in front of him.
The seventh adjudicator had once been a member of the Momotiya Gym, and had an incomparable understanding of the Momomiya family's "One-Shin One-Sword Style". He even understood the "No Self One-Sword Style" based on the original techniques.
I'm afraid that as long as the two of them meet face to face, Momo Gong Linya's identity will be revealed.
At this time, after hearing Kyogoku Kawamizu's words, Momomiya Izaya also obviously heard the hidden meaning behind them.
However, his expression remained unchanged. He just raised his eyes slightly, looked directly at Kyogoku Kawamizu without hesitation and said, "You should still remember how he killed my father back then."
Kyogoku River was slightly startled when he heard this.
At that time, the news that the seventh-level swordsman Momonomiya Haruzo died in Momonomiya Dojo, which was the first of the three major dojos in Kyoto, caused a great sensation in Wano.
The Celestial Being disciple who had been under the sect of Momo Palace Haruzang for only one year took the initiative to start a competition among countless disciples who were shocked and laughed, but the final result was shocking.
The discussion quickly turned into a duel.
Even a life and death fight.
The final result was that the Celestial Being disciple beheaded Momomiya Haruzang, and after killing his master, he left a sentence: "Issin Ichitō-ryu? Nothing more than that."
He walked away and was never heard from again.
Later, during this investigation, the Kyoto Local Police Agency discovered that the two had signed a life-and-death certificate before the discussion. This was originally a life-and-death fight.
The case is settled
Thinking about the past, a glimmer of light flashed in Taomiya Linye's eyes, but soon returned to calm. His eyes passed through the mist of boiling mountain spring water on the tea table between the two of them, and he continued in a very calm tone:
"How he killed my father back then,
Then I will kill him."
Kyogoku Chuansui couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard it. He didn't expect that the other party had such a crazy plan.
"Where do you want to be? When?"
"Under the trees under the clear sky, after the exchange meeting."
Kyogoku River couldn't help but fell silent for a while after hearing this.
Under the New Tokyo Skytree is a huge and popular business district, where he is in full view of everyone, and has nothing to do with the forces behind him.
"Will he say yes?"
Kyogoku Kawamizu asked the key question again.
Momo Gong Lin also lowered his gaze and said softly, "He has a reason that he cannot refuse."
January 25th.
Negative,
Light rain.
Aragaki apartment building.
At half past five in the morning, Higashinohara lay on the tatami and opened his eyes.
The weather in early spring was suddenly warm and then cold. Last night he went to bed without closing the window, and the cold wind mixed with the light rain penetrated into the warm neck, instantly taking away the little sleepiness he had.
Since the White Jade Plaza incident, whether it is the comments from passers-by on the tram to and from school, the comments from classmates at school, or the media propaganda on TV
Higashinohara felt the haze hanging over his head more and more clearly, and he became more diligent in improving his strength.
Strength under normal conditions is the real strength. Higashinohara must consider an extreme situation - if one day the World Government or the Judgment Department comes to a "morally perfect" level adjudicator, he will not be able to appear at all.
[Handbook of Sin] Part 1.
So let alone a seventh-level absolute ability user, even a fifth-level and sixth-level person would be a bit awkward.
Therefore, even though Higashinohara has gained a lot of benefits from these few battles, and one battle is worth two months of hard training, he still does not dare to relax his daily training at all.
Although he is not the "Shilipo Sword God" who lives to death, he has to say that although the attribute improvement of this kind of down-to-earth training is slow, it still feels very fulfilling and safe, like the kind of risky and sinful completion of missions.
The attribute points for value conversion are still a bit too hot to handle.
It's not that Higashinohara didn't think about catching criminals, but the problem is that it's impossible for criminals on the street to have the crime written on their faces, and it's even less likely for victims to call Higashinohara instead of calling the police when something happens, like
Last year, when I was helping Satoru Aragaki investigate an extramarital affair, I met Charlie by chance.
If Higashinohara took to the streets to take the initiative, not to mention the danger posed by the cameras all over the street, in reality the crime value of most ordinary criminals is estimated to be not much different from Charlie, and the ones he could encounter would be "one and a half stars"
.
For him, it is acceptable to take a desperate risk once in a while and reap huge rewards.
But if you want to be exposed to risks anytime and anywhere, and the efforts and benefits are completely out of proportion, then it is better to urge yourself to be more diligent, get up early and exercise conscientiously.
Higashinohara was dazed for a moment, but instead of staying in bed, he quickly got up, put on his clothes and folded the quilt, and then walked into the small bathroom alone to wash up.
When the sparse hot water came down, what he was thinking about was that when he earned enough money to move to a new house and renovate the bathroom after graduation, he must buy a high-flow shower head.
Well, it would be best to get a big bathtub so that you and your wife can take a bath together.
By the way, I don’t seem to have a wife
As the warm water soaks into his hair and flows through his body, Higashinohara's thoughts become very scattered and he thinks about things he would not normally think about.
It was also at this time that he was thinking like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, thinking about what kind of girlfriend he would find in his life and whether he could get married from the beginning.
After taking a bath, Higashinohara walked out of the shower room, picked up the hanging dry towel and was wiping his hair.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the rental house.
Who knocks on the door so early?
If it was Nishimaru Miria, you should be able to hear the crispy "big brother".
Could it be that guy Charlie?
While changing clothes, Higashinohara shouted "Wait a minute" through the door.
After getting dressed, I opened the door. It was still hazy outside, with light rain falling in the light blue sky. Standing in the corridor in the slightly cold morning breeze was Kolodya with blond hair.
Coladia raised her head and glanced at Higashinohara's wet hair after taking a shower, turned her gaze away, and said in a weak voice, "Well. I heard Xiaomi-ri say that Higashino-kun gets up early every day to exercise, and breakfast is already prepared.
Yes, so I wanted to ask if you would like to eat together."
Higashinohara usually eats breakfast at a convenience store. When he heard Coladia's words, he thought to himself, "How can I be so embarrassed?" He didn't want to repay a favor.
But my stomach protested, saying that I didn’t want to eat the rice balls and bread from the convenience store anymore, so I had to smile and say, "Thank you very much. Are you up, Xiaomi-ri?"
"Well, Miria-chan said that she and Higashino-kun would get up early to exercise together," Kolodiya said.
Dong Yeyuan smiled in his heart and shook his head.
His situation was different from everyone else's. There was absolutely no need for Nishimaru Miria to self-torture like him, but then he thought that exercising to strengthen his body was also a good thing, so he didn't say anything more.
