"Sakurai Kogure, 24 years old, is the daughter of Kozaburo Sakurai of the Sakurai family. She was confirmed to have a dangerous bloodline when she was five years old. She defected from the family at the age of 14 and grew up among the monsters. Ryoma, the monster of the monsters...
"
"Are you sure you want to save her?" The Fool glanced at Yuan Zhisheng below and the dying girl he was holding. He first snapped his fingers to control the girl's injuries. Otherwise, this girl would really
If you can't hold on for that long, you may die in the next second anytime, anywhere.
"Why, isn't she the ghost you are hostile to? For her, you actually pray to the evil god you think?" The Fool crossed his hands and gently dragged his chin, asking Yuan Zhisheng with a scrutinizing gaze.
"..." Yuan Zhisheng was stunned, silent and speechless.
He lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms who was stained red with blood. He looked at the girl who still had hideous and terrifying scales, but she was still beautiful.
Sakurai Kogure has now closed her eyes, the blood is no longer filling the air, and she seems to be just sleeping deeply.
"I can save her, but you need to provide a reason that can convince me." The Fool's quiet voice sounded from above.
"She... is the Dragon Horse of the Mongols. She is the person who holds important information. It is very likely that she knows the identity of the Dragon King and the general. She is very valuable. If she dies, it will be difficult to obtain that information." Yuan Zhisheng thought.
, said slowly.
The Fool is noncommittal: "I'm afraid you don't believe this reason yourself."
"Just for information, taking the risk of praying to the evil god you think is terrifying is not a valid equation. In addition to Ryoma, you can also find out through many channels."
The Fool said calmly.
Yuan Zhisheng showed a wry smile.
Sure enough, he couldn't hide all the thoughts he had about this great being...
and……
Yuan Zhisheng was very confused now. He really didn't know why he wanted to save this girl. The reason he just mentioned was only based on his standpoint.
But as Mr. Fool said, even he couldn't convince himself of this reason.
"I... don't know." Minamoto said hesitantly, "Maybe I'm just out of pity for her. Just like what she said before, it's just hypocrisy. But she, like Eriki, is a
A girl in her prime."
Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head and looked at Sakurai Komu's pale profile: "The song she sang in the attic before was very nice. She should have someone she likes. If it's just because of the danger of blood, then
And die..."
He clenched his fists deeply.
Just like the young girl Minamoto back then... He also buried his younger brother with his own hands for this reason. At that time, he was young and energetic, and believed that the world was black and white, and he would risk everything for the so-called justice.
You can give up everything.
But……
Reality is not black and white.
He believed his father's words and shouldered the heavy fate for his family...
Does this really make sense?
Where he couldn't see, there were still many people like this girl who died silently. It was just that he happened to meet this girl.
What kind of organization is the Menggui Zhong?
In the game, you can ignore the logic of things and set up a villain with heinous crimes. Players only need to kill those villains according to the gameplay.
However, reality is not a game. Menggui Zhong is not a villain NPC that can be obtained by simply typing a code in the game. Everyone in it is a living person.
Dad's judgment may not be right.
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly said: "I'm curious why she acted as if she knew me several times...or confused me with another person."
"Is this the final reason you gave?"
"No... I'm just curious." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath, "I want to know what this world is like."
He is the young master of the Yuan family of the eight Sheqi families. Now he has become the master of the family and has a high status. But precisely because of this, his vision has also been clouded. This does not mean that everyone else is deceiving him.
, just because, naturally, it is at a very high position and there is no way to see the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
"Really?" Mr. Fool chuckled, "It seems you have already thought about it. Mr. [Devil]."
Yuan Zhisheng remained silent and did not answer.
Yes, if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, you might be able to see a lot of things clearly.
Yuan Zhisheng had been hesitating before, wavering in his heart. Mr. Fool's bewitchment, the truth about the City of Miracles, and his father's big moves were all adding weight to the balance in his heart.
As for Sakurai Kogure, it was the final inducement that made him completely determined.
"This is indeed a very good reason." Mr. Fool clapped his hands, and the entire gray mist boiled.
A ferocious demon mask appeared in front of Yuan Zhisheng, "Then, welcome Mr. [Devil] to join the Arcana Conference. You can also use this to mobilize the power of the entire Japanese Secret Church, but the Secret Church in Japan is
It’s not as influential as the eight Sheqi families.”
"In order to welcome the [Devil] to join, let's offer this girl's life as a gift."
The face of Sakurai Kogure in Minamoto's arms quickly returned to rosy, and the signs of dragon transformation disappeared one after another. Even the penetrating wound in the heart healed quickly.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Yuan Zhisheng was shocked by this incredible power. He couldn't help but feel awe of the master above the gray mist.
However, the next second, the Fool's words silenced Yuan Zhisheng.
"This devil mask is a prop I got from playing a game before."
The Fool held his chin and said, "I saw that the workmanship was more exquisite, so I kept it, and now it comes in handy. But don't worry, I have added various buffs to this mask, although it is not a serious extraordinary item.
, there are no extraordinary characteristics in it. But it is also a creation of God."
"..." Yuan Zhisheng.
He suddenly felt so unreliable.
Is this god really the one the Mysterious Church believes in? Is he really the terrible evil god who invaded Cassel College?
Was it a little hasty for him to join like that?
The Fool’s frame of mind is straight off.
But the Fool himself doesn't care at all. Anyway, his personality is there, and no matter what happens, it's still the past. In the past, he deliberately created the image of the Fool because he was weak, but now he doesn't use it anymore.
Moreover, Mr. Fool felt that it was still necessary for Yuan Zhisheng to know the origin of this mask.
"This mask can change other people's perception of you. Even people who are familiar with you will not recognize you. You can go to the monsters with confidence and boldness. However, this mask is [Devil]
It is precisely because of this that you need to match the devil's personality, otherwise its effect will be weakened. Well, you will know how to use it after you put on the mask." The Fool explained the function of this mask.
Although this demon mask does not have extraordinary properties, it has been with him for so long, and there has already been a trend of becoming extraordinary objects. However, the side effects are not that serious.
At best, it is just forcing the childish person to develop in a direction of pleasure.
Well, this is the influence of the marks left by Tianzun and Amon, and has nothing to do with him at all.
"Thank you, respected Mr. Fool." Yuan Zhisheng didn't say much, he just bowed deeply in the direction of the Fool. No matter what, this Mr. Fool helped him a lot.
He didn't refuse and put the devil mask on his face.
As soon as the mask is put on, Yuan Zhisheng's whole temperament undergoes some subtle changes.
"Not bad, not bad, it seems to suit you very well." The Fool clapped his hands, "You will return to the burning Paradise Pavilion next. What are you going to do?"
"Take Sakurai Kogure away." Genzhi said calmly.
"We can't stay there any longer."
"What about you?"
"I searched the entire Paradise Hall and couldn't find Ryoma."
"That's inappropriate." The Fool slowly shook his head, "Since you want to act as a [Devil], you can't continue to stay in the Sheqi Ba family. I'll help you again."
After speaking, he snapped his fingers.
A bunch of transparent insects appeared in front of Yuan Zhisheng.
They twisted, changed, and clustered together, gradually condensing into the appearance of a human being.
The child's hole shrinks.
At this moment, he was like looking in a mirror, and there was [Yuan Zhisheng] who looked exactly like him in front of him.
At first, this [Yuan Zhisheng]'s expression was a little dull, but soon his eyes became lively.
His behavior, movements, and demeanor are all childlike.
Even Yuan Zhisheng himself felt as if he was looking in the mirror.
"From now on, he will be your substitute." Mr. Fool said.
"Hello, Mr. [Devil]."
[Yuan Zhisheng] stretched out his hand and smiled towards Yuan Zhisheng.
…………
The Paradise Pavilion was already on the verge of collapse, with fiery tongues of fire spitting out from every window, as if there were a hundred red sulfur-eating dragons hidden inside.
The temperature around the fire scene has exceeded 100 degrees. Even standing in such hot air for a few seconds will cause burns, not to mention that the oxygen in the air is almost completely depleted.
Yuan Zhisheng did not come out for ten minutes after entering the Paradise Hall. It was quiet inside, and it seemed that nothing unexpected happened.
Although Crow and Sakura were worried, they guessed that there was progress in persuading them to surrender, otherwise Yuan Zhisheng would not have delayed it for so long, so they waited patiently. Ten minutes later, a sharp roar and a loud sound of metal collision were heard.
Coming out, it was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place in the Paradise Hall.
Now the two of them could no longer sit still, Crow and Sakura rushed forward desperately.
Sakura flew out and hit the copper door with her shoulder. The high temperature ignited her clothes in an instant. The temperature of the copper door was hundreds of degrees. Crow also followed up and kicked the door hard.
Sakura ignored him and turned to look at the figures hugging each other in the center of the fire... To be precise, one of them couldn't be called a human, and the hug was too bloody.
"Boss! Are you okay?" Crow rushed behind Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng waved his hand and said nothing, but slowly placed the unrecognizable corpse in his arms on the ground.
Yuan Zhisheng whispered, "Inform her family to collect the body."
"Kozaburo Sakurai has already stated that there is no need to collect the body. He said that the Sakurai family had a daughter like this who had no face to face her own people. He should have executed her himself, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability."
"But this is still his daughter..." Yuan Zhisheng took off his windbreaker and covered Sakurai Kogure's body.
Minamoto took one last look at Sakurai Kogure who was surrounded by flames, then turned around and walked out of the Paradise Hall. After walking dozens of steps, the Zhulou finally collapsed, and countless sparks shot up into the sky, like a burning bird rushing into the night sky.
Then, he suddenly looked at the distant mountain peaks, his expression unchanged.
…………
"How did you save me from that master?" Sakurai Kogure relaxed her vigilance slightly after hearing the identity of this person, as long as he was not a member of the Seraki Hachi Family. However, she still remained on guard.
She didn't believe that the hypocritical master would let such a ghost like her go.
Moreover... the Secret Church... is not a serious organization, it is a cult, and many of the people in it are out-and-out lunatics, such as the [World] who is wanted by hybrids all over the world. During this time, General Wang also
Imitating the method of the Secret Church, I established an evil god, bewitched many people, and created many monsters.
Although now it seems that it is much better than falling into the hands of the Sheqi Eight Family, but the other party's purpose is still unclear.
Moreover... the other party's ferocious mask and mysterious words also made Sakurai Kogure feel awkward.
I'm afraid this [Devil] is not a lunatic like [The World].
"It's a secret." [Devil] said with a chuckle, "But after this, you will be dead on the list of the Sheqi Eight Family."
"Really?" Sakurai Kogure looked cold and unmoved.
And she silently labeled [Devil] as a "bad taste" in her heart. Originally, Sakurai Kogure subconsciously thought that this person's figure looked familiar, and she was vaguely thinking in a certain direction, but now she completely denied it.
Got that idea.
"Next, Miss Ryoma, what are you going to do?" [Devil] did not care about Sakurai Kogure's indifference, but continued to say in a frivolous tone, "I am happy to spend this beautiful night of destruction with you."
Sakurai Kogure frowned fiercely, glaring at the [Devil] with stern eyes, her blood-stained dress made her look like a general returning from the battlefield, with a strong murderous intent.
"Sorry, I already have someone I like."
"What a shame." [Devil] shook his head seemingly regretfully. No one knew that under [Devil's] mask, his cheeks turned red with shame.
If he could, he would greet some unreliable evil god in a friendly way.
