The Evil Rhodes
Cao Cao's response was exactly what Cao Cao had expected.
After all, what truly makes it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood is precisely Cao Cao's words, which are three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, making it impossible for people to tell the difference.
However, he still accepted the task without hesitation.
After all, the mission only required him to kidnap Yasaka, not kill her, which did not conflict with Ren's principles and bottom line.
Although kidnapping is still a villainous act, for him, if the reward is generous enough, he might even kidnap Gabriel from the Heaven.
Of course, that's assuming he wears Superman's Glasses.
However, before setting off, although Ren didn't wear his glasses, he did put on a mask.
Seeing this, Cao Cao asked with some confusion, "Why are you wearing a mask?"
Ren succinctly stated, "This is my first time playing a villain and kidnapping a beautiful woman. I'm a little nervous, afraid that I won't look bad enough to intimidate her. After all, as you know, it's hard for women to be afraid of me with this face."
Cao Cao: "..."
Jeanne: "..."
Heracles: "..."
Georg: "..."
The rest of the Hero Faction: "..."
Although they wanted to say, "I have never seen such a shameless person," they swallowed the words after looking at Ren's face.
This guy was actually right!
Next, after arranging the plan, Ren and Jeanne led a group of people to ambush Yasaka on the only way home.
Cao Cao and Siegfried, along with another group, went to other places.
This part of the story doesn't include it, and Ren doesn't know what they're going to do.
But for now, he just needs to focus on his own business.
Not long after.
Ren and Jeanne, along with other young men and women whose clear eyes revealed a hint of naiveté, arrived at a wide street in the suburbs.
According to the information, Yasaka passes by this place almost every night.
Of course, as yokai, they are imbued with special yokai magic, so even if Yasaka and the other yokai swagger down the street, they will not be noticed by ordinary people.
While waiting, Ren fell into thought.
There's something about this part of the original story that Ren doesn't quite understand.
So Hero Faction are in Kyoto like Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but why haven't the Five Great Houses made a single move?
Chapter 210 The Evil Ren
Chapter 210
But after thinking about it carefully, Ren felt relieved.
The author's oversight in this regard can only be attributed to the author himself.
After all, the Five Great Houses didn't actually appear until another work the author wrote later, while the Hero Faction storyline had already been written several years earlier.
The two novels were published several years apart.
Of course, fiction is fiction, but in reality Five Great Houses would not stand idly by and watch Cao Cao and his group's actions.
On second thought, could Cao Cao's other action be that he went to cause trouble for the Five Great Houses?
"Ren, the barrier is sensing something; the Grand Admiral is about to arrive."
Jeanne suddenly spoke.
After that, Ren stopped thinking about it and looked out into the quiet, secluded street.
The night was as dark as ink, and the long street was shrouded in mist. A unique floral fragrance drifted into the world, strange flames flickered, and nocturnal monsters slowly emerged from the end of the street.
Monsters dressed in kimonos with their faces covered by cloth walked on phosphorescent flames, and on their shoulders carried a large, brightly colored palanquin.
The sedan chair was covered by a curtain, but the swaying as it moved caused a gentle breeze to stir the curtain, allowing a glimpse of the stunningly beautiful face inside.
The stunning beauty of the great demon Nine-Tails was faintly visible to everyone.
However, apart from Ren, the other Hero Faction were all eager to make a name for themselves and were incredibly motivated, now it was as if they couldn't wait to rush up and make a big splash.
Once the monsters entered the target area, Jeanne took out a one-time barrier-type item created by Georg using the Longinus "Absolute Mist Destruction".
As energy is channeled into it, a moist mist begins to spread outwards.
The weapon quickly became thick and viscous, overflowing the rooftops and entangled the treetops. In no time, even the distant mountain shadows and the vegetation that came and went lost their sharp edges.
Ren keenly noticed that the instant the fog completely enveloped them, they were transported to another world.
Based on his understanding of the Longinus, he should now be transported to the "other world" created by Georg.
This alternate world was created by the other party through technical analysis of the Underworld Rating Game Arena.
Then, the Absolute Mist will be used to teleport the people in the fog there.
Although it has little destructive power, its ability to teleport people without their knowledge is not to be underestimated.
The monsters carrying the sedan chair stopped because they could no longer see the road more than ten meters ahead.
The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a huge white veil, making it impossible to discern directions.
Upon noticing that the palanquin had stopped, Yasaka inside asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"
"Madam, a thick fog has suddenly rolled in outside for some unknown reason, and we... we've lost our way here."
The monster sounded somewhat flustered.
Upon hearing this, Yasaka frowned slightly.
The nights in Kyoto are the domain of these yokai, who have lived here for thousands of years, long before the country was even founded.
Even Kyoto was built bit by bit in the eyes of these yokai.
To put it bluntly, they could wander all over Kyoto without any hindrance, even with their eyes closed.
However, not only these yokai, but even when Yasaka dispersed his yokai power, he was unable to discern the exact direction home from this place.
Moreover, this fog was even more bizarre.
She is both a yokai (supernatural being) and possesses the power to regulate Kyoto's climate and air currents.
Therefore, Kyoto can accurately predict weather changes and even influence Kyoto's climate without needing Yasaka weather forecast.
This fog is clearly abnormal.
"Go and investigate the nearby shops."
Yasaka said.
Then, one of his demon subordinates quickly transformed into a ball of foxfire and flew towards the houses and shops on both sides of the street.
Soon, the subordinate returned, his voice filled with panic. "Madam, there's no one else around here besides us. Not even a fly, let alone a human."
Upon hearing this, Yasaka was secretly alarmed.
They had clearly been attacked.
Moreover, the way this person could teleport them to another space without them even noticing was truly miraculous.
Because she had just carefully observed the surrounding buildings.
Although everything was so lifelike, there were still subtle differences from the real Kyoto in my memory.
It's like comparing what the human eye sees to a photograph taken with a mobile phone.
No matter how many pixels a camera has, it can never compare to the real human eye.
And just then...
As if sensing something, Yasaka suddenly looked towards the end of the copied street.
Several different figures gradually appeared from within the thick fog.
The yokai also noticed its presence and gathered around Yasaka to protect it.
But what appeared before these monsters in Yasaka were none other than the members of the Hero Faction led by Ren and Jeanne.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
Yasaka said in a calm tone.
When Ren and his companions finally emerged from the mist, her expression was one of astonishment.
Because the people who were stopping her were not hostile monsters, but a group of humans.
This scene instantly plunged Yasaka's spirits into despair.
There are probably only the Five Great Houses among human organizations that possess such power in Kyoto.
Although the relationship between the Five Great Houses and the Yokai World has become delicate since the attack on the Inner Shrine, no major conflicts have occurred.
Furthermore, in order to express her goodwill, Yasaka took the initiative to send envoys to negotiate with the Five Great Houses, stating that the previous attack on Inner Shrine was not her doing.
In addition, given the special relationship between Yasaka and Kyoto, even though the Five Great Houses did not give any direct response, their silence can be considered a ceasefire in another sense.
Furthermore, some time ago, the chief god from Norse Mythology also came to this country to negotiate with the gods of Takamagahara, and the content of the negotiations was naturally related to peace.
Therefore, Yasaka believed that a peaceful relationship between yokai and the Five Great Houses might truly be possible in this era.
However, the arrival of Ren and his group shattered her hopes.
Yasaka stared at the figures, especially the young man in the lead wearing a white mask.
The pure white mask had no patterns on it, yet it exuded an eerie and evil aura, and the oppressive feeling emanating from it made even this great demon tremble with fear.
Who else but members of the Five Great Houses could possess such power?
From the whispers of the monsters, Ren realized they mistook him for one of the Five Great Houses. He had intended to use this as an excuse to make a scene, but another minor character stole the opening line.
"We are Hero Faction, ordered to capture the great demon of Kyoto!"
"Surrender, you monsters!"
A group of people, exuding murderous intent, displayed their respective Sacred Gear.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ren helplessly rubbed his forehead, Yasaka was also somewhat taken aback.
Hero Faction?
When did this appear?
Chapter 211 Madam, you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, do you?
Chapter 211
However, since they are not from the Five Great Houses, it is still good news for the Yokai World.
"How audacious! How dare they attack the Commander-in-Chief!"
Seeing that Ren and his group had come with ill intentions, Yasaka's guards immediately began to fight back.
However, among Yasaka's guards, the strongest was only at the level of a mid-level demon.
As Ren activated [Clock Up] and entered the Super Acceleration field, everything in his eyes instantly turned into slow motion. Whether it was the monster guards leaping into the air or the halos emanating from the Sacred Gear in the hands of others around him, they all swayed at an extremely slow speed, while Ren simply strolled towards Yasaka as if taking a leisurely walk.
Then, seemingly casually, he lightly tapped a few monsters before deactivating the Super Acceleration.
The next instant, all the monsters that had rushed forward were sent flying backward in strange postures, landing on the ground howling in pain.
Yasaka's pupils contracted.
The young men and women behind Ren, besides Jeanne, were deeply shocked by this scene.
After all, in their eyes, Ren had simply teleported there, and these monsters had lost their ability to fight again.
Upon seeing this, Yasaka realized what was happening and his demonic power began to surge, emanating a demonic aura that was no less powerful than that of a Dragon King.
