Natsu Ta was sowhat puzzled.
Deliverance?
What does that an?
He looked up, and on his face, distorted by alcohol and violence, pure confusion appeared for the first ti.
“Natsu, what are you doing?”
The woman kneeling beside him also stopped her curses, her resentful eyes fixed on the figure at the doorway.
However, Natsu Masahiro in front of them remained silent.
“Shh... shh shh...”
An extrely faint sound, like dry sand rubbing, ca from Natsu Masahiro’s feet.
Natsu Ta suddenly looked down at Natsu Masahiro’s feet.
He saw black beetles rapidly gushing out from the shadow beneath his feet.
They were silent, their six legs scuttling across the dirty floor without making a sound.
It was the second, the third... In just a few seconds, the black tide of insects ford a slowly writhing carpet, silently approaching the two people in the center of the room.
“Bugs... bugs?”
Natsu Ryo scread, scrambling backward on her hands and feet.
But that black tide was much faster than she imagined.
The beetles instantly engulfed her ankles.
A subtle yet dense stinging sensation ca, and the color drained from Natsu Ryo’s face instantly.
She looked down, only to see her calves covered in black beetles, their sharp mouthparts frantically gnawing at her flesh and blood.
“Ah—! Get away! Get away!”
Natsu Ta was also scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by the sight before him; he stumbled and crawled to Zhou Huai, frantically kowtowing.
“Masahiro! Masahiro! I’m your dad!”
“Make them stop! Please! I’ll never hit you again! I’ll never drink again!”
Zhou Huai looked at him expressionlessly.
A branch of the insect tide also swept over Natsu Ta’s legs.
“Ah ah ah! My legs!”
The man’s wails intertwined with the woman’s screams, composing a desperate song of Hell.
They struggled, rolled, trying to shake off the demons clinging to them, but it was all in vain.
The swarm of insects grew denser, quickly subrging their waists, their chests... The pleas for rcy turned into incoherent whimpers.
Only endless despair remained in their eyes.
The insect tide ca quickly and left just as quickly.
When the black tide receded, the couple’s figures were no longer there.
As if nothing had happened.
In the room, deathly silence returned.
Zhou Huai was not worried that the couple’s death would arouse suspicion from others.
In fact, in Takamagahara, no one would care about the life or death of an ordinary person.
In so people’s eyes.
They were not even as precious as the pets kept by a woman in her ho.
Zhou Huai’s gaze turned to the corner of the room.
There, a small figure was curled up, hands covering her head.
Her slender body trembled uncontrollably, like a helpless fallen leaf in the wind.
He took a step, his leather boots making a faint “tap, tap” sound on the dirty floor.
This sound was magnified countless tis in the deathly silent room.
Each tap was like a heavy hamr striking the little girl’s taut nerves.
Feeling the footsteps drawing near.
The small figure trembled even more violently, yet she actually took the initiative to lift her head.
A pair of swollen, red eyes looked directly at Zhou Huai.
The little girl was very cute, her features delicate like a porcelain doll.
Only her complexion was a sickly pale, and she was so thin it made one’s Heart-Nature ache.
There was no sadness in her eyes for the loss of her parents, not even hatred for the murderer.
Only the most primitive, most pure desire for life.
“Brother...”
She choked out, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
“Please don’t kill , okay?”
“I don’t want to die...”
“I’ll be very obedient and sensible.”
The little girl used all her strength to try and force a ingratiating smile, but the smile was uglier than crying.
“Please... don’t kill , you can experint on with any bugs.”
“Just don’t kill .”
She did not question why Zhou Huai had killed her mom and dad.
As if the man and woman who had just disappeared had nothing to do with her.
Zhou Huai couldn’t help but sigh in his Heart-Nature.
A little girl with such Heart-Nature, if she could grow up, would definitely be a formidable character in the future.
It’s just a pity.
She had no future either.
Zhou Huai slowly knelt in front of her, deliberately making his tone a little gentle.
“Little girl, what’s the point of you living like this now?”
“Why not find deliverance with your parents?”
“A family should be together, neat and tidy.”
He mimicked the kind of false tenderness that Natsu Masahiro occasionally showed in his mories.
However, it was this sudden “gentleness” that made Natsu Rinku widen her eyes involuntarily.
She looked at the familiar yet strange face in front of her, her pupils suddenly contracting.
“You... you’re not my brother...”
The real Natsu Masahiro always looked at her with disgust and impatience.
He would never speak to her in such a tone.
The mont she realized this, the little girl’s reaction was astonishingly quick.
Her body quickly leaned forward, abruptly changing from a squatting to a kneeling posture.
“Thud!”
Her small forehead hit the cold, dirty floor with a dull thud.
“Big Brother... I don’t care who you are!”
“Please don’t kill ...”
“I’ll repay you well in the future! I’ll serve you like an ox or a horse!”
However, Zhou Huai still had no intention of being rciful.
In the shadows behind him, the black tide surged again.
Countless ferocious flying insects spread out from beneath his feet, transforming into a black torrent of death, sweeping towards Natsu Rinku!
Looking at the rapidly approaching black insect tide, Natsu Rinku’s eyes finally revealed complete despair.
The aura of death rushed towards her.
She subconsciously raised her slender arms, blocking herself, as if those fragile bones could block this army from Hell.
“No—!”
A shrill scream burst from the depths of her throat!
And at this very mont!
Buzz—!
An indescribably powerful energy fluctuation suddenly erupted with her body as the center!
Blinding white light instantly swallowed the entire room!
That violent and pure energy transford into a visible circular shockwave, sweeping in all directions!
The first to bear the brunt was the black beetles that were about to touch her!
“Boom!”
Hundreds of Shadow Demon Worms were flung back by this inexplicable force.
The shockwave, its montum undiminished, slamd into the room’s walls.
“Rumble!”
The entire two-story building let out a massive groan of protest, shaking violently!
The walls were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and dust from the ceiling fell rustling!
Zhou Huai’s pupils suddenly constricted, and for the first ti, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
His thoughts raced.
He controlled the Shadow Demon Worms to retreat back into his insect tide space.
After doing all ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ this, Zhou Huai then turned his head to re-examine the little girl in front of him.
At this mont, the little girl still maintained the posture of pushing her hands outwards.
But on her cheeks and arms, strange runes suddenly appeared.
The runes were as black as ink, slowly wriggling like living things beneath her fair skin, outlining twisted and sinister patterns.
At first glance, it really did resemble Sasuke in his cursed seal state, but female.
Extrely bizarre.
Zhou Huai’s confusion deepened.
One must know that ordinary people in this world could only complete their job transfer through a transfer ceremony after reaching eighteen years of age.
Acquiring various professions.
Before that, they were no different from ordinary people.
This little girl was clearly only twelve years old.
Yet she was already beginning to display the abilities of a Professional.
This was clearly unscientific.
There was definitely so secret about this little girl.
Zhou Huai was about to ask what was going on.
Unexpectedly, the little girl’s body went limp, and she fell straight to the ground.
All the curses on her body receded, subrging beneath her skin like a tide.
Her small face beca even paler, almost devoid of any color.
Zhou Huai reached out and checked her breathing.
She still had Qi.
However, her body was unusually cold, and even the breath she exhaled was cold.
Normally, a human at this temperature would already be a cold corpse.
But the little girl in front of him was clearly still alive.
“A little interesting.”
Zhou Huai finally understood what illness the little girl had.
It was probably an early Awakening of so of a Professional’s energy.
And her frail body simply couldn’t fully withstand this power, which led to all sorts of abnormalities in her body.
After all, strictly speaking, she wasn’t a true Professional.
Falling into a coma now should be a self-protection chanism of her body.
Facing such a special little girl.
Zhou Huai suddenly gave up the idea of continuing to kill her.
Of course, he also had no intention of saving her.
He left her lying on the cold, dirty floor.
Whether she could survive would depend on her own ability.
He went to the tatami in the living room and found a relatively clean spot to sit down.
Then, with a thought.
Several Information Bug, shaped like mosquitoes, silently flew out from his wide sleeve, rging into the shadows of the room.
Zhou Huai suddenly understood a point.
Instead of searching all over Tokyo for the person who infiltrated Ise Grand Shrine.
It would be better to directly send a few Information Bug to Ise Grand Shrine to check.
Confirming whether the pendulum of life was still within Ise Grand Shrine was the most crucial thing.
Why search the whole world for a thief?
Why not just go to the vault and see?
The Information Bug were extrely fast; they flew close to the ground and corners, perfectly avoiding all surveillance equipnt on the streets.
Zhou Huai closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the connection with the swarm of insects.
He could clearly perceive the sights and sounds each Information Bug saw and heard.
The entire city of Tokyo, as if in his mind, slowly unfolded into an incredibly detailed real-ti map.
One hour.
Two hours.
Finally, the first Information Bug arrived at the outskirts of Ise Grand Shrine.
