anwhile, inside the car, the three of them looked up at the night sky.
The energy fluctuations emanating from the world depicted in the painting are exceptionally clear, even from a great distance.
"Can you feel it?"
Polina asked in a deep voice.
"Such a powerful aura."
Karen nodded, her expression serious.
"At least an SS-level professional."
"And there were two of them."
After saying that, he frowned, looking very confused.
Sothing's not ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) right.
"With the addition of Wada Hirayama and Soma Kosuke, there are already four SS-class characters in the painting."
Karen counted on her fingers and her face imdiately turned ugly.
He slapped his thigh suddenly: "Could it be that Chong Wengu and Qin Zeduoyilang are also involved?"
"If that's the case, that old guy, Kosuke Soma, will have to face three SS-rank enemies at the sa ti!"
"He's probably really in grave danger!"
Zhou Huai sat in the back seat, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the car window, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say a word.
No wonder Kujo Hiroharu dared to do this; he clearly had a backup plan.
But... could the two SS-rank characters who suddenly appeared really be Oki Bunko and Qin Zeduo?
Zhou Huai was very suspicious.
His information insect had been monitoring Kujo Hiroharu's convoy, and he was certain that these two people were not in the convoy.
Chongwen Gu Mao is stationed at the Ise Grand Shrine and cannot leave. Qin Ze Duoyilang will likely be sent to the border to restrain Marshal Zhao Qingcang of the Great Xia Kingdom.
If it wasn't them, then who was it?
Zhou Huai thought of another possibility: professionals from South Korea?
But he imdiately dismissed the idea.
Although South Korea often cooperates with Japan, it only follows the orders of the Free Federation. They would never send anyone to participate in Japan's internal strife, as it would not benefit them.
But who else could it be besides them?
As Zhou Huai was thinking, Karen in the passenger seat couldn't sit still any longer.
He suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhou Huai in the back row.
"Hey, Mr. Transforr!"
"Isn't it our turn to go in?"
"Any later, and we'll probably be collecting that old man's corpse!"
Zhou Huai didn't speak, but just looked at him calmly, which was taken as tacit agreent.
Kosuke Soma really can't die.
He is the biggest bargaining chip to restrain the Kujo family.
With his death, the Ōmiya family will be leaderless, and Kujō Hiroharu will have no one to control him. The entire Sakura Country will fall into his hands.
By then, it will be much more difficult for to take advantage of the situation.
Seeing that Zhou Huai did not object, Karen imdiately beca excited and began to analyze the battle situation.
"The situation is bad, but it's not entirely hopeless!"
Karen stretched out her finger and gestured in the air.
“Although Polina and I are also SS-rank, our ranks are ultimately too low. The two of us together should be able to barely hold back that guy Wada Hirayama.”
"You'll be in charge of keeping that guy nad Chong Wengu Mao in check."
"This way, we can free up Kosuke Soma and let him focus on dealing with Taichiro Hata!"
"Three against three is much better than one against three!"
Karen beca more and more excited as she spoke: "So? Isn't my plan pretty good?"
He looked expectantly at Polina and Caesar.
After a brief mont of thought, Polina looked at Zhou Huai and asked for his opinion.
"So, does the Hundred-Faced Star Lord need us to take action now?"
Zhou Huai opened his mouth, about to say sothing, when he suddenly froze.
His expression turned strange, and his eyes lost focus.
Polina noticed his strange expression and cautiously leaned forward, lowering her voice.
"What's wrong?"
Do you have other ideas?
A mont later.
The light returned to Zhou Huai's eyes. He snapped out of his daze and slowly shook his head.
"It seems we don't have ti to deal with Kosuke Soma."
Karen was a little confused by this seemingly random statent.
"What's the aning?"
Zhou Huai took a deep breath and uttered a ssage that caused the temperature inside the car to drop sharply.
"I've discovered the pendulum of life."
"It's right here at Kawaguchi Lake."
"What?"
Polina and Karen both exclaid in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.
Polina's brows furrowed tightly.
"You an the pendulum of life appeared at Lake Kawaguchi?"
"How is this possible?"
"Kujou Hiroharu is still here, trapped in the painting by Soma Kosuke!"
Karen echoed this sentint.
“That’s right! Shouldn’t the pendulum of life be in Kujo Hiroharu’s hands?”
A knowing, cold smile appeared on Zhou Huai's face.
"We were wrong from the very beginning."
His gaze swept over the two astonished faces.
“We all thought that the pendulum of life would be firmly in the hands of Hiroji Kujo.”
"I'm afraid the Omiya family and Kosuke Soma thought the sa thing, which is why they fell into Hiroharu Kujo's trap."
"Going to Karuizawa was just a pretext."
"The actual location is indeed Lake Kawaguchi."
Polina shook her head, still finding it unbelievable.
"How could Kujo Hiroharu entrust such a vital artifact as the pendulum of life to soone else?"
Zhou Huai looked at her and said seriously.
"He might indeed not trust the others."
"But what if that person is his uncle?"
Polina's pupils contracted sharply; she realized what was happening instantly.
"You an, the other SS-rank powerhouse of the Kujo family, Oki Bunko, isn't here?"
"Is he currently at Kawaguchiko?"
Zhou Huai nodded slowly, confirming her guess.
Just now, the information insect that Zhou Huai'an planted near Hekou Lake transmitted a video to him.
In the video, an elderly man dressed in priestly attire gets out of a car.
What he was holding in his hand was the pendulum of life.
Zhou Huai had read about this old man before he went to Japan.
So even though it was their first eting, Zhou Huai recognized the other person.
He was Kujo Hiroharu's maternal uncle, Okimura Komo.
Karen and Polina were completely stunned by this astonishing news.
What a clever feint!
Kujo Hiroji even went so far as to use himself as bait, drawing everyone's attention to this ambush that seed to be a decisive battle.
Once the sacrifice at Lake Kawaguchi is completed, the Kujo family will gain another SS-rank King of Demons.
Kosuke Soma will also die in the siege of three SS-class enemies.
At that point, no one will be able to stop Kujo Hiroji.
The Ōmiya family is dood to defeat.
"What a brilliant plan!"
Karen slamd her fist into the storage box in front of her, making a dull thud.
His face was full of frustration and anger.
"We've all been tricked by him!"
Polina's eyes, on the contrary, brightened.
She reacted quickly, issuing orders to Kazuya Kujo in the driver's seat.
"Turn around! We need to head to Kawaguchiko imdiately!"
