"Orange, Sakura and Fujino will be left in your care for the time being. I have to go out immediately for something."
Lu Xiao opened the window and jumped out, opening the portal to Wu Tiao Wuhui's ward in mid-air.
As the surrounding scene changed, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a pinprick-like sense of threat, and his eagle vision had captured the source of the threat.
"Ouch!"
A canine creature with thick sores all over its body rushed over from behind Lu Xiao, its sharp teeth about to bite his flesh and blood.
Rolling forward flexibly to avoid the attack and bite, Lu Xiao turned around and kicked sideways while standing firm, sending the reluctant canine creature flying to the wall of the ward.
"Ouch!"
More creatures of the same type rushed towards Lu Xiao one after another, and the small ward was soon surrounded by a large number of zombie dogs.
"roll!"
Runes were drawn in the air, and raging flames rose in the ward, engulfing all the zombie dogs present.
Shutting down and dodging through the crowded ward, Lu Xiao did not continue to focus on the ward. He locked his eyes on a figure who was fleeing quickly in the hospital passage. There was also a person wearing a hospital gown in the other person's hand.
The familiar red coat and top hat revealed the other party's identity, and Lu Xiao was really angry this time.
"It's you again, Aruba."
Although Aruba's methods were clumsy, he still remembered the magician's principles and arranged a large-scale exorcism barrier in the hospital, which facilitated Lu Xiao's performance.
After detaching the folding bow from his right arm armor, Lu Xiao followed closely behind Aruba with his mobility far exceeding that of Aruba. At the same time, he opened the bowstring of the long bow while in motion.
"Whoosh!"
"Well!"
The magic arrow shot from Aruba's back penetrated his protective barrier and left chest. His body, which was running at a high speed, immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Using Shukuchi again to move to Aruba, Lu Xiao first caught the kidnapped Wujo Kirie.
Compared with the night before, Wujo Kirie's face became much rosier, and her condition had obviously improved a lot.
Frowning and looking at the "corpse" on the ground, Lu Xiao smacked her lips in displeasure: "Tsk~ It's really a doll again."
"It's really troublesome to fight these puppet masters."
In the medical supplies warehouse outside the inpatient department, Aruba suddenly opened his eyes and said with some horror to a middle-aged man wearing a black coat next to him: "Araya! My doll has been killed!"
"……What?"
The middle-aged man known as Araya had a depressed face and spoke in a very low tone. Coupled with his gloomy temperament, he looked like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.
"How did it come so fast?"
Thinking about the way for the other party to reach the hospital quickly, Araya Soren did not stop.
He changed his gestures one after another to form multiple Buddhist mudras.
"Don't move, Ding Sutra, Snake and Scorpion, Wang Xian."
As Araya's barrier spell was activated, a purple-black barrier rose around the inpatient department, completely sealing the entire building.
"That's it."
Araya's face showed no change, and he said in a dull tone like a report: "In my left hand, there is a Buddhist bone relic of a monk from the rooftop buried in my left hand, and the barrier driven by this..."
"Click!"
Before Araya could finish his explanation, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the purple-black barrier, and the seemingly solid barrier collapsed in less than five seconds.
"not good!"
Seeing that the situation was completely different from what he expected, Araya smashed his left hand on the ground, and he and Aruba used the escape passage that had been prepared to go underground.
"bass!"
Just as the entrance to the secret passage was closed, a sharp blade split the entire medical warehouse from the middle. The defensive barrier arranged by Araya Soren only lasted less than a second.
Lu Xiao, who was holding a long knife in his hand, used his eagle vision to track the escape route of the two people, but collapsed objects blocked the entrance to the secret passage. It was too late to clear away the debris and try to catch up.
"I hope you can escape quickly."
After using the time gem to repair the structure of the hospital, Lu Xiao used hypnosis to modify the memories of Wu Tiao Wuhui's chief physician and related nurses, and then opened the portal to bring Wu Tiao Wuhui back to Jialan Hall.
Cheng Zi looked at Wu Jiao Wu'e who was unconscious on the sofa, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "...you are still coming? It's endless, right?"
Lu Xiao smiled awkwardly: "I promise, this is the last one. Both of them are chess pieces chosen by Araya Zonglian. I had two moves with Areye before."
"Hey~"
Orange helplessly scratched his messy red hair, picked up Wu Jiao Kirie and took her to the workshop.
"I believe you for the time being. Come on, let me see what this person's problem is."
Lu Xiao was holding Xiao Ying and Fujino, who was still struggling to choose between the two, watching the news on TV in the living room. From time to time in the studio, Orange Zi's thoughts were heard like a bad uncle.
"Oh hoo~ This lady is quite talented. This perfect shape of water droplets is worthy of reference."
…
"Hu~hu~"
Aruba is an industrious magician. He is not a monk from the Tendai Sect like Araya Soren, and his physical fitness is far worse than Araya's.
After finally returning to Araya's magic workshop built underground in Kayamihama through the twists and turns of the secret passage, Aruba was out of breath from the violent exercise.
"Araya...that guy...what's going on...?"
Araya Soren looked at his left hand thoughtfully: "Buddha's bone relics have indeed played a role. This time the mysterious magician did not force his way out by relying on his own mystery, but used some kind of powerful
The weapon cut through my barrier."
"Araya."
Aruba, who finally caught his breath, looked a little panicked: "Is there really anyone in this era who can block a big magic purely by relying on mystery?"
Araya Soren replied in a deep voice: "If the other party does not have some kind of highly mysterious defensive magic gift... then there is only one explanation."
"He is not human."
…
After moving Wu Tiao Wue back to the living room from the workshop, Chengzi took out a cigarette from his body as a habit. Noticing Lu Xiao's warning eyes, Chengzi put the cigarette and lighter back gloomily.
"There is nothing wrong with Wujo Kirie's body, it just takes some time to adapt to the newly added 'organs'."
Magicians without family accumulation usually have very few magic circuits. Individuals like Shirou Emiya who are born with 28 circuits are very rare.
Wu Tiao Kirie's magic circuits only have 17, which is very rare for the first generation of magicians. It should be influenced by the bloodline of Wu Jing's family.
Orange's eyes flickered back and forth between Wujo Kirie and Asakami Fujino, and he asked Lu Xiao doubtfully: "But why does Araya want to use the two of them as chess pieces? It's just because they are interested in the descendants of the four major families who have exorcised demons."
Identity?"
"I always feel like that guy has other purposes."
Wu Tiao Wue originally had a happy family, and her father was in the real estate business.
In the urban development plan of Guanbuzi City, the famous Wu Tiao Building was built by the Wu Tiao family in the 1970s.
After entering the 1990s, due to the bursting of the well-known bubble economy, Japan's real estate industry was the first to be severely hit, and the Ujo family went bankrupt as a result.
Ujo Kirie's father committed suicide by jumping off a building because he could not repay his huge debt. Her mother could not bear the tremendous pressure and took Kirie's young brother to burn charcoal at home to commit suicide. When they were discovered by neighbors, both of them had been poisoned by carbon monoxide.
There's no hope.
The happy family fell apart in an instant, and only Kirie Ujo escaped because she was treated in the hospital.
"I have specifically investigated it."
Lu Xiao looked at Wu Jiao Wu'e who had not yet woken up and said to Chengzi: "After Wu Jiao Wu'e's treatment fee was cut off, it was Araya Zongren who helped her pay for her hospitalization. A few years ago, Araya
Start making preparations.”
Orange: "For what?"
Lu Xiao shook his head and pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know. As his classmate, you should know Araya Zonglian better."
Orange's eyes flickered: "During the Clock Tower period, all the preparations Araya Soren made were to reach the root. Perhaps, he has not given up his obsession yet."
