The gunfire rang out without warning in the night rain.
The gunshot came from above the Sky Tree, passed through the dark blue night sky like a meteor, and landed at the venue of the exchange meeting on the pedestrian street under the Sky Tree.
If in this pitch-black sky, someone could reverse everything from God's perspective, tracing the trajectory of the bullet back to the source of the gunshot.
Then his last glance,
I'm afraid it will fall on the New Tokyo Sky Tree with a triangular base, about 300 meters above the ground, in a ring-like corridor with a tubular glass structure.
The corridor is surrounded by 360-degree large glass with a height of 5 meters. Although it is not the 450-meter-high ring called the "Tianwang Corridor" above, it is still high enough for you to see the new 70-kilometer-wide area.
Panoramic view of Tokyo night view.
At this time, a large circular hole was punched out in a corner of the corridor. The night wind from high in the sky roared in from the outside like a tide, and the refreshing cold touch of the night rain could still be vaguely felt.
.
Next to the hole where the night wind howled, stood a middle-aged man wearing a blue overalls from "Daejeon Co., Ltd." and a yellow safety helmet on his head.
In front of him was a pure black anti-materiel sniper rifle, and behind the amber windproof goggles on the bridge of his nose was a pair of lifeless fish eyes.
As for the tourists in the corridor, they had already screamed and dispersed when the glass exploded with a "bang" and the mighty night wind howled in, so that there was no one around this man in the open space at this moment.
Nanami Kenjiro crouched down, and with only one arm left, it was a bit difficult for him to control such a huge sniper rifle. Fortunately, his [Nightmare], which had been improved by him for many years, was not an anti-equipment sniper in the general sense.
rifle.
At this moment, he squinted slightly and stared at the picture in the sniper scope.
On the exchange venue thousands of meters away, the Seventh Judgment Commander Gaius Rhine stood motionless, with the [Little Dragon Jingguang] blade with a pattern of meteorite iron in his hand placed in front of his eyebrows.
Through the high-definition sniper scope, Nanami Kenjiro could see an orange-red bullet mark circle lighting up in the middle of the dark blade in the opponent's hand, and a thin wisp of light smoke floating vaguely, as if he had just experienced some kind of overwhelming power concentrated at one point.
The terrifying "tempering".
Not far in front of him, a roughly 13 mm metal-patterned bullet casing kept spinning on the ground, and finally fell into a gap in the floor that had been damaged beyond recognition by the previous battle.
Gaius Rhine lowered his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be pondering something.
for example
Who fired the shot?
Why shoot?
How could he be so confident in killing me?
But in the end, he didn't say anything. He just stood there quietly, raised his head and looked leisurely through the rain at night. He took the handle of the big sharp knife and lightly tapped it between his eyebrows.
Body language is the most direct language.
provocative!
Chi Guoguo’s provocation!
Gaius Rhine's action immediately shocked the surrounding people who were panicking when they heard the sound of gunfire. It also made the execution team members look slightly nervous due to the judgments around them.
Although they all rationally believed that the Seventh Judgment made it impossible for the eighth-level demigod swordsman to die in such a ridiculous sniper, there was something different about this shot tonight.
The gun in the hands of the sniper on the tower in the distance does not seem to be an ordinary sniper rifle, but has its ability poured into the bright bullet flowers blooming at the muzzle.
The sniper rifle is to him,
Just like the sword to Taogong Linye.
In other words, the guy on the tower cannot be an ordinary person, at least he is at the level of a super user or above. For a moment, the faces of the enforcement teams of the Judgment Department around him became serious.
Without further explanation or instructions, the Adjudication Department immediately sent speed users running towards the brightly lit Sky Tree tower. They wanted to solve the problem at its root.
In a corridor 300 meters above the ground.
After Nanami Kenjiro shot once, he was not in a hurry to fire a second shot when faced with the enemy's provocation.
For him, revenge is not a passionate and impulsive act, but a "father" doing what he should do for his two "daughters".
Therefore, no matter whether there is an endless sea of fire with mountains of knives standing in front of him, or an endless hell with rolling lava, he will walk through it without any scruples, and will not change himself because of anything that happens in front of him.
The strong night wind ruffled Nanami Kenjiro's hair on his forehead. He straightened up silently, squinting slightly and calculating and calibrating sniper parameters such as wind force, air density, design depression angle, etc. like a precise and stable machine.
How long will it take for the other party to arrive here after discovering him?
He is preparing
Be prepared for the next time you pull the trigger.
Pedestrian street under the sky tree.
On the venue of the exchange meeting,
The Seventh Judgment caused Gaius Rhine to provoke the sneak attacker hiding in the sky tree. After receiving no reply, his eyes fell back on Momomiya Izaya who was standing opposite him.
"Is this your warrior spirit?"
Gaius Rhine glanced at the sniper warhead rolling into the gap in front of his feet, with a strong look of ridicule on his face.
When Taogong Linye raised his head, a flash of scarlet color flashed in his eyes. He lowered his eyelids slightly, holding the [Lion King] filled with strange black energy in his hand, shook his head calmly and said, "I can't listen.
I know what you're talking about."
Gaius Rhine was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
He glanced through the night in the direction of the Tokyo Sky Tree again, and couldn't help but shake his head, "It seems that he wants to kill me. No, there are quite a lot of humans who want to die."
After he finished speaking, he looked away and his eyes fell on the strange black knife in Momomiya Izaya's hand.
"Okay, then say something you can understand."
Gaius Rhine said calmly, "The sword contained in your hand is not an ability that exists in the existing talent sequence. Do you dare to admit this?"
An ability that does not exist in the talent sequence list?
If there are others, or experts and professors engaged in talent sequence research, here.
Even if they are facing the seventh judge of the Judgment Department, I am afraid they will slap the table, point at each other's nose and say angrily, "No one understands talents better than me. How can there be something in this world that does not exist in the talent sequence list?"
ability?"
You must know that the innate sequence ability is an ability that humans suddenly began to awaken when the heavenly beings invaded this world thousands of years ago. At that time, it was regarded as a "gift from God" by people.
If humans had not had those who had awakened abilities, then humans would have been completely defeated in that mighty "war against the barbarians" against heaven and humans.
In the nearly one hundred years since the end of the war, all different abilities have been registered. According to power and danger level, they are divided into orange world-destroying, purple epic, blue high-risk, green excellent, and gray ordinary. More than a hundred according to
The serial numbers are listed one after another.
In the first few decades or more than a hundred years, a newly discovered ability will appear, and it will soon be entered into the corresponding position in the talent sequence list after rating.
But in the past few hundred years, no new abilities have appeared, so the more than one hundred abilities on the talent sequence list are the common understanding of all talent abilities in this world.
At this moment, Gaius Rhine's words on the opposite side were like pointing out the key point - the ability that does not exist in the talent sequence list.
Faced with this shocking question, Tao Gonglin lowered his eyebrows and remained silent for a moment.
When he raised his head, he also raised the black aura-filled Lion King in his hand, and said calmly:
"So what? I call it [ghost energy]. As long as it can kill you, that's enough."
"Haha, I thought human beings were not that stupid. Everything in this world follows the principle of equal exchange. You should know. This power does not belong to you. Now that you hold it in your hands, you will have to pay accordingly.
cost."
Having said this, Gaius Rhine suddenly said with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Besides, you don't really think that you can kill me just by mastering an ability that is not in the talent sequence, do you?"
"In that case, it is indeed a bit worse." Momo Gong Linye suddenly said to himself.
The next moment, the phantom figure of Asura with nine heads, eight legs and nine hundred and ninety hands appeared behind him again.
But the difference this time is that,
The strange black energy surging on the big sharp knife [Lion King] in Momomiya Izaya's hand, like the entwined roots of an old tree, converged towards the shadow behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the phantom of Asura, which had closed its eyes before, suddenly stared angrily, filled with blood-red like a yaksha, and the phantom also became darker and darker.
More solid and profound
Composite field!
Ghost energy. Asura!
This time, no one could clearly see Momomiya Izaya's movements. The Asura behind him was holding the Lion King and slashing it down with a sword. Before he could move, a half-moon shaped ghost energy shot out in the air.
Tear-!
The black field that Gaius Rhine blocked was passed through!
In the flash of lightning, he turned slightly to one side, and the sleeves of the black coat of the Adjudicator suddenly burst open, revealing a trace of blood that was not deep or shallow.
From the beginning to the end,
But in the fleeting moments.
Everyone in the Judgment Department, who was standing around on standby as they approached the venue, had not yet realized that in less than a minute, the body of the Seventh Judiciary, whom they considered to be a god, had been torn open by a human being with two bloody stains on his body.
of wounds.
Gaius Rhine lowered his gaze, silently staring at the blood stain on his waist, and suddenly shook his head, "Haha, I admit it. I did underestimate you a little."
Having said this, Gaius Rhine suddenly slowly opened his arms, closed his terrifying vertical pupils as dark as hell, and whispered like a devil's whisper:
"So.
I’m going to start getting serious.”
The moment he finished speaking, a wave of ripples suddenly rippled behind Gaius Rhine, and the gloomy black domain spread in all directions like an overturned ink bottle, spreading infinitely across the sky and the earth.
In the eyes of passers-by and spectators a hundred meters away from this scene, they could only vaguely notice that there seemed to be a black realm sealing Gaius Rhine and Momomiya Izaya inside together. They could vaguely see items of various types before their eyes.
The strange weapon was floating quietly in the sky above the black field.
Among the various weapons are the zanba sword, tachi, otachi, katana, tanto, spear, and naginata.
There are celestial long swords, knight swords, broad swords, cutting swords, great swords, armor-piercing swords, slender swords, scimitars, large scimitars, two-handed giant swords, etc.
At a glance, all the weapons in this world are displayed in a dazzling array, quietly exuding extremely terrifying pressure, which can make people tremble even from a distance!
Rules. Infinite Sword Prison!
Gaius Rhine opened his eyes again, slowly lowered his raised arms, his dark vertical pupils were as cold as daggers, and he looked at Momomiya Izaya who was sealed in the [Infinite Sword Prison], as if he was looking at something.
A corpse.
"The owners of these knives are all my defeated generals over the years, but I took pity on them for having the wrong owner and made them a permanent part of my rules. Now, it's your turn."
Rules. Infinite Sword Prison!
One type—[Explanation]!
The moment the words fell, the thousands of long swords and daggers of different shapes vibrated in unison, emitting a blood-thirsty buzzing sound!
Like countless sharp fangs,
I vow to tear everything in my "mouth" to pieces and reduce it to its original and most primitive state!
The next moment!
The Asura that Momomiya Izaya was carrying suddenly collapsed!
In the blink of an eye, the black tide of the Infinite Sword Prison gradually subsided.
I saw the Asura behind Momomiya Izaya, as if he had been tortured by Lingchi, with his nine heads, eight legs, and nine hundred and ninety hands being cut off from the roots. Black unknown substance gurgled out, and his mountain-like body was also shattered into pieces.
At this moment, the temporary venue for tonight's exchange meeting beneath their feet looked like it had just been stirred several times by a huge cement mixer. At a glance, it had been completely reduced to a broken ruin.
On top of the ruins, Momo Gong Linye's body was covered in blood, his skin and flesh were torn, and no intact part could be found.
Photographers from all four major TV stations captured the scene of this life-and-death fight and presented it to countless people across the country. At the moment, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths in confusion, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
For most ordinary people, a second ago they clearly saw the Kyoto swordsman Momotiya Izaya, who represented humanity, injuring the seventh adjudicator and gaining the upper hand.
I can't figure out why the situation suddenly turned sour in the blink of an eye, and Momo Gong Lin was completely defeated without even fighting back!
"This is the power of rules!"
Not far away, principal Kyogoku Kawamizu's eyes showed deep worry.
He knew very well the character of his friend's son Momomiya Izaya, and at this point he would not choose to retreat and admit defeat. Precisely because of this, he was even more worried.
In any duel, if the gods lose, humans may not have the courage to kill them.
But humans lost, and the gods had no scruples about it at all, not to mention that the man standing opposite, wearing a black coat and eyes like hell, was the seventh adjudicator known as "Human Killer".
"Oh? Haven't you fallen down yet?"
On the field, Gaius Rhine, whose hands fell into the pockets of his black windbreaker, looked indifferently at Momomiya Izaya, whose body was covered in blood and flesh and was almost unsteady on his feet.
He couldn't help but shook his head sarcastically.
"Tsk tsk, ignorance and arrogance are always the biggest enemies of mankind. I won't ask you how you obtained the power that is not on the sequence list. The sword will tell me everything. If there are any unfulfilled wishes, don't tell me.
Yes, because I have decided to send you on your way."
As soon as the words fell, the darkness filled the air and the sound of swords buzzed!
Zizzi——!
At this moment, without any warning, a harsh sound of electricity suddenly came from the distant direction of the Sky Tree, instantly passing through everyone's eardrums. Countless people couldn't help but raise their heads in confusion after being startled.
"Can you hear it? Hello! Can everyone hear it?" A gentle and hoarse voice came from the huge loudspeaker used for disaster evacuation in the Sky Tree radio tower.
Soon the news spread throughout the pedestrian street, and Gaius Rhine couldn't help but raise his head.
"It looks like you can hear it."
In the huge loudspeaker broadcast, the gentle and hoarse voice continued, "Sorry, forgive me for greeting everyone in this way tonight, because what I am going to say next may be very, very important to everyone."
"We all know that the population of human beings in this world is tens of thousands of times that of heavenly beings, and the reason why world governments and those heavenly being families that are above the law appear in our history are fundamentally based on
Originating from the spontaneous fear in the human heart, this fear makes everyone willing to surrender to the unique powerful, and human beings' bad nature will drive themselves to instigate others to surrender with them.
As if if everyone surrendered to the fear of the powerful, fear would not exist.”
At this point, a gentle chuckle came from the huge loudspeaker.
"Do you think it's funny too? Haha, but what's really funny is that the root of this fear is the flaw in human's innate talent. Even if an ordinary person is born with outstanding talents, as long as he has not awakened his innate ability, then he will never
From the moment you are born, you will become an 'inferior person' in this world who will inevitably succumb to the fear of the powerful.
This has been true for thousands of years, and it is true today.
This feeling, I think everyone here today should be more clear and intuitive than what I said."
I don’t know when the originally noisy sounds on the pedestrian street under the sky tree quieted down.
People looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence.
At this time, another "sizzling" sound of electricity came from the loudspeaker above the head, and someone could vaguely hear angrily shouting "Who has invaded our broadcast system" and "cut him off, cut him off quickly"
kind of discourse.
After a while, the noisy voice disappeared, and the gentle and hoarse voice spoke again.
"Haha, it seems that some people don't want me to say too much, so I will just tell you the last news. The countdown will start one minute later, and a mighty 'benefit' will come centering on this radio tower.
Everyone nearby will give you the power you have longed for day and night, the power that truly belongs to you. If you don't want to, you can leave now."
"Look here.
Those adjudicators dressed in black."
"Look there.
Those heavenly families who are high in the clouds.”
"Lambs living under the care of gods, when you have power, will you still surrender to fear? Or will you face fear bravely?"
"You don't need to answer this question. You just need to answer yourselves."
At this point, the sound from the loudspeaker of the Sky Tree radio tower suddenly stopped!
Immediately afterwards, there was a panicked voice, which seemed to be the person in charge of Skytree Radio. He hurriedly apologized on the radio and said that the broadcast had just been hijacked by unknown dangerous elements. Everything he said just now was alarmist. I hope the public
Stay rational.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere on the pedestrian street became a little strange.
Some passers-by seemed to not want to be involved, regardless of good or bad, and hurriedly picked up their children and took their families to evacuate quickly in the opposite direction to the Sky Tree radio tower;
Some passers-by had a look of fanaticism on their faces and stood there, staring straight at the sky tree that looked like a lighthouse in the dark.
Some passers-by looked a little confused, and their rationality told them to leave this dangerous place quickly, but the gentle and hoarse voice from the loudspeaker just now aroused the yearning deep in his heart for the kind of power that he thinks about day and night.
For a moment, the pedestrian street fell into sudden chaos.
"Brother, shall we go back now?"
Backstage at Takehara Minami's break in New Tokyo, Miria Nishimaru held Higashinohara's clothes and asked with her face raised somewhat uneasily.
Higashinohara nodded, "Well, the exchange meeting has ended. There is a situation here now. I see that the teacher has already counted the number of people and asked us to go back first."
At this time, the teacher leading the team suddenly shouted, "Has anyone seen the members of the second-grade varsity team?"
Hearing the words of the leading teacher, everyone in the first and third grades of New Tokyo Takehara Minami couldn't help but look at each other for a while, looked at each other, and then shook their heads.
The leading teacher sighed and said with some helplessness, "These guys won't go to the pedestrian street to play, they are really a bunch of big-hearted guys! Among the three third-grade students, they are the only ones who lost in the second grade, and they actually have something to worry about.
Let’s go shopping, let’s help look for it first.”
After hearing the words of the leading teacher, everyone nodded and quickly started to search.
Youth represents fearlessness.
What's more, they themselves are the lucky ones who have awakened their abilities. Basically no one takes seriously the magic-like prophecy just broadcasted by the Sky Tree Radio Tower.
Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria looked at each other, and he nodded and said, "In that case, come with me. Let's search nearby and don't go too far."
"Uh-huh."
Nishimaru Miria nodded her head quickly.
When the two of them left the makeshift lounge and came to the pedestrian street, Higashinohara discovered that the originally lively and peaceful pedestrian street was now noisy and chaotic!
The crowds of people walking on the pedestrian street split into two lines before his eyes, one extending towards the distant exit, and the other moving slowly towards the sky tree.
Higashinohara was slightly startled.
At this time, Miria Nishimaru next to her suddenly gently tugged on the corner of Higashinohara's clothes with her small hand.
After regaining consciousness, Higashinohara lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Big brother."
Nishimaru Miria raised her little finger and pointed to an alley between two shops on the street. She said with some hesitation on her face, "I just saw a second-grade sister passing by?"
Where to go and what to do?
Higashinohara looked at the alley and frowned slightly.
He pondered for a few seconds and then said, "Come on, let's take a look. If nothing happens, let's inform them to go back together."
