ATS-088 Shikigami, Cloud Mirror
He Xiaoxiao is in "a group".
Chuang Wang: "I want to know, is that Zard who suddenly appeared in the island nation the same Zard from our group...?"
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. With so many reporters and media outlets waiting outside the Osaka City Hall, the video was spread all over the world in just over an hour.
The video, which shows Zard appearing as a small green dinosaur and later using earth elemental power to kill hundreds of people, is shaky yet complete.
The breathtaking scene was just like something out of a foreign science fiction blockbuster.
When the video was first uploaded to Bilibili in China, the comments were full of amazement: "What movie is this?" and "The special effects are amazing, the budget must be burning!"
At this point, most people didn't actually know who Zard was or what had happened.
It wasn't until several tens of minutes later, when the complete information came back from the island nation, that people learned that a Time Walker named Zard had made his move at the Osaka City Hall...
This is a real battle!
In no time, the name Zard quickly became a trending topic, but few people knew anything about him, not even the Time Walker had ever heard of him.
In the group chat, Guang Jue, who had been silent all along, suddenly appeared. "What's strange is that experts with earth elemental power are quite rare. If there were such an expert in the Inner World, he should be very famous, but has anyone heard of him?"
The true identity of this "Guang Jue" was once identified by Qing Chen as Qing Yuan. This person rarely spoke in the group, but Zard's matter still managed to bring him out...
"In recent years, there haven't been any Earth-type Awakened of this level," Forbidden Item ACE-999 said in the group chat. "Earth-type abilities allow one to move underground without a trace, eavesdrop on secrets based on the amplitude of sand and gravel vibrations, and even walk between walls. Usually, when such Awakened appear, they are immediately recruited or taken notice by major conglomerates. So, I guess this Zard is a trump card hidden by some conglomerate, just like Qing Ye in the Qing family's secret unit."
Chuang Wang: "Even Boss He said he'd never heard of it, so it's really quite mysterious... But what does he mean by 'Pledge of Allegiance,' and to whom is Pledge of Allegiance?"
Xiao Ran, the leader of the Red Leaf Organization, said, "He kept saying he wanted to join White Day, so this Pledge of Allegiance is probably for White Day. According to the information I have, while he was going on a killing spree outside, someone was also going on a killing spree inside the Osaka City Hall. It seems that the person inside should be White Day's boss. White Day member Qing Chen was arrested by Kamishiro, so this boss must have gone to avenge an important member of his organization."
Xiao Ran continued, "Based on the information we have so far, this Boss Bai Zhou killed over three hundred people in an instant on Takayama Hida, and then killed over a hundred more with just a piece of paper at the press conference. His strength is truly terrifying. Among the Time Walker in the country, he can be considered one of the few Chosen One."
Chen Sui, the matrix leader in Haicheng, who had been staring at his phone screen, silently read this sentence.
Not long ago, he had just tried to poach Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen from Bai Zhou.
In his view, Bai Zhou had already committed a terrible crime and was in dire straits; Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen should protect themselves.
However, Chen Sui never expected that the very thing he thought was about to be destroyed, Bai Zhou, would actually cause such a terrifying international incident!
He never even dared to dream of going to the island nation, blowing up more than ten shrines, and wreaking havoc!
He misjudged the situation during the day.
They also underestimated the strength of the daytime.
So, that's why Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen rejected him.
Of course, Chen Sui didn't know that the achievements of all the members of Bai Zhou were actually given by Qing Chen.
Moreover, Qing Chen was not some Chosen One; he earned his strength bit by bit through sheer grit and determination.
The Chuang Wang: "Has anyone in the Inner World ever heard of such methods of killing?"
Forbidden Item ACE-999: "No, while superhumans possess many abilities, such methods have never been seen in the history of the Federation."
Chuang Wang: "Strange, two experts have participated in the battle in one day, and their methods and characteristics are so obvious, yet their identities cannot be determined... But, isn't Zard one of Huan Yu's men? Why did he suddenly step forward to say he wanted to Pledge of Allegiance to someone else? @Huan Yu."
The Chuang Wang, seemingly enjoying the spectacle and not afraid of things getting worse, even circled Huan Yu's name on his profile.
The group chat suddenly fell silent as everyone waited for Huan Yu's reply.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Zard: "I am still a member of Huan Yu."
The person in charge of the trending topic has finally appeared!
The fact that Zard was still able to come out and chat with everyone at this point means that the other party is safe and has escaped the pursuit of the Mysterious Affairs Department!
However, the group chat members found it a bit strange, what did "currently still" mean...?
Is it really appropriate for a member of an organization to make their intention to switch jobs so obvious?
Huan Yu seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. "This is what you meant by going on a trip to relax?!"
Zard: "Boss, I bought you a lot of things in Osaka, including a bottle of 50-year-old Yamazaki whisky! Even though my body is helping Bai Zhou, I still spent the money on you!"
Huan Yu: "... Get lost!"
Guang Jue: "Wait a minute, in my memory, among the people who caused a ruckus at Dragon Lake Commune during the Time Walker' Alliance Conference, there was a little green dinosaur and a Pikachu. That little dinosaur and this little dinosaur should be the same person, right? So that Pikachu is Huan Yu?"
The group chat fell silent again.
Actually, when new members joined the group last time, the bosses of the Pao Ge organization "Shancheng Laziji", the boss of the Red Umbrella organization "Jian Shou Qing", the boss of the Matrix Organization "Haicheng Wu Yanzu", and the boss of the Red Leaf Organization "Xiao Ran" all joined the group chat. Basically, all the Time Walker organizations with names, surnames, and scale are here, so how could the Bright Commune be missing?
So, everyone has guessed who the Guang Jue is.
The little dinosaur and Pikachu caused trouble at Dragon Lake Commune, which is located below Bright Commune, last time...
They were making a lot of noise.
After a long silence, Guang Jue asked, "Don't you two want to explain? Why are you all silent?"
Zard: "Wait a moment, let Huan Yu think of a good excuse."
Huan Yu: "Are you fucking a dog???"
The group members reminisced about when they first joined the group. At that time, Huan Yu had a cool and mysterious persona, which was then forcibly dismantled by Zard.
Evening.
The Osaka City Hall has begun its troop rotation.
A staff member carrying a briefcase walked out of the Osaka City Hall and, upon arriving in Dotonbori, turned into an apartment building.
He arrived at the door of an unfamiliar apartment building and looked at the men's leather shoes on the shoe rack outside.
After confirming that there was no breathing sound inside the door, he reached out and turned the handle.
The black pinky ring on my little finger started spinning like flowing water, and with a click, the door opened.
He went inside, and when he came out a few minutes later, he had changed into new clothes and had a new look.
It seems like a new chapter in my life has begun.
This ability to remain hidden and infiltrate is something no spy in the world possesses; its efficiency is simply too high.
Qing Chen stretched, took out his phone, and asked Yang Yang, "Have the people from Hokkaido been evacuated?"
Yang Yang replied, "Wait a moment, I'll go check it out after I finish this game."
Qing Chen: "?"
He suddenly felt something was off; it seemed like Yang Yang was playing a game.
Qing Chen: "You took Xiao Zhenji to an internet cafe?"
Yang Yang: "This internet cafe is quite comfortable, Xiao Zhenji is very happy."
Qing Chen: "?"
Can't we be a little more reliable?
A short while later, Yang Yang replied, "The Mysterious Affairs Department has not withdrawn. I previously locked onto the force field of each member of the Mysterious Affairs Department and confirmed that they are still hiding in nearby buildings."
Qing Chen frowned. The Osaka City Hall had already caused such a commotion, and even a suspected A-level earth element power Awakened had appeared. The Mysterious Affairs Department was actually keeping an eye on Xiao Zhenji's mother.
Yang Yang: "There's something I need to tell you. Before, to avoid being discovered, I flew very high in the sky and didn't notice some details. Today, I got closer and found that the force field fluctuations of that Kamishiro Yunluo are abnormal. Judging from the scale of the force field, he's at most a C-Class expert."
Qing Chen seemed to be deep in thought.
As the Chosen One, Kamishiro Yunluo could not possibly be only C-Class. Even if the Onmyoji's true form is weaker than that of an ordinary superhuman, it is impossible for Yang Yang to make such a misjudgment.
At one point, he realized that some things had gone wrong from the moment the Mysterious Affairs Department sent more people to Hokkaido.
Kamishiro Yunluo probably never imagined that there was another Force Field Awakened in Hokkaido, Awakened greatest skill was seeing through the fog to the essence.
These people were not there to capture Jingūji Maki.
Their purpose in going to Hokkaido was to force Qing Chen to make a move as soon as possible.
Yang Yang: "Be careful."
Qing Chen: "Thank you."
Considering the security team composed of ordinary people in the Osaka City Hall today, and the fact that no Chosen One came out to apprehend them today.
More and more strange things are happening.
At that moment, he felt as if a huge net was hanging over his head, tightening and tightening.
However, Qing Chen was not nervous. He turned off his phone and walked out of the apartment, intending to try Osaka's teppanyaki beef again.
Inside the underground air-raid shelter of the Osaka City Hall, the bodies of dozens of security personnel were neatly laid out on the ground, each covered with a plain white sheet.
The air-raid shelter was cold and dark, with an exceptionally oppressive and somber atmosphere.
All of these people died at Qing Chen's hands.
As Kamishiro Kongxu walked through the air-raid shelter, Kamishiro Yunwu, Kamishiro Yunxiu, and others stood silently watching from the side. Apart from Kamishiro Yunluo, all the Chosen One were here.
But then, Kamishiro Kongxu opened his palm, and a palm-sized mirror hung in the air above it.
She approached a corpse and drew a pentagram on its chest with her sharp fingernails. The corpse withered rapidly, turning into dust in the blink of an eye, which was then absorbed into the mirror.
Soon, an image appeared in the mirror: a stranger was sitting in a teppanyaki restaurant, eating large mouthfuls of beef.
The price to use the ATS-088 shikigami 'Cloud Mirror' is that the body of the deceased is exchanged for information about the murderer.
The "Hyakki Yagyō Hundred Ghosts Night Parade) records this Cloud Mirror, a mirror that has become a demon after a hundred years, and is specifically designed to counter the ATS-087 shikigami "Menreiki".
Ten seconds later, the Cloud Mirror went dark.
Kamishiro Yunwu sneered, "His mental fortitude is quite impressive. He's killed so many of us, yet he still has such a good appetite. No wonder he dares to return to Osaka to fight his way back."
"He is indeed skilled at disguise," said Kamishiro Kongxu. "He changed into a new appearance so quickly. However, he doesn't seem to have any intention of reuniting with his companions and has been going about his business alone."
With his eyes closed, Kamishiro Yunxiu said, "Let's wait another four hours and see if we can find any clues about his companions. The appearance of that earth-elemental Awakened was somewhat unexpected and poses a greater threat. This time, we'll try our best to keep them all here."
The Cloud Mirror should be used once every four hours.
Four hours later, Kamishiro Kongxu offered another corpse as a sacrifice, and was shocked to see the person in the mirror waiting for a grilled king crab leg on the street.
Kamishiro Yunwu chuckled, "He can really eat. What if we use up all the corpses here before his companions even show up? If he escapes Osaka City, the Cloud Mirror won't be able to see him anymore. We should just attack him now. That earth-type Awakened doesn't matter; we can find him once the underground corpses are dug up. We've also roughly figured out the strength of the person in the mirror. If Yunye, Yunjue, and I attack together, we'll definitely kill him."
Kamishiro Yunxiu thought for a moment, "Then let's wait until he's asleep tonight before making our move."
