Let's Do Something! Go, Ignore! / The European Ghost-Busting Squad
Cong Yu: "..."
Cong Yu: "Friend."
"Oh--"
Cong Yu: "Ordinary friends."
"Oh oh--"
"..." MDZZ!
Chapter 344 The whole thing is alive! Let's go, ignore it!
"This is Lord Tutankhamun's palace, this is Lord Cleopatra's palace, this is Lord Atum's palace, this is Lord Osiris's palace... Everyone is ready to be resurrected at any time."
"..." Cong Yu: "???"
"..." To be honest, I didn't quite understand.
Cong Yu didn't understand what the priest meant by "everyone is waiting for resurrection." He opened his mouth... but then closed it again.
I'm a little curious, but there's no need to ask too many questions.
However, the priestess seemed quite eager to share, saying, "Ra's chambers are at the highest point and are also the largest."
"Radar is the undisputed Pharaoh, while the other Pharaohs are chosen as her subjects, and during her reign... look to her, learn from her, and kiss the yellow sand beneath her seat."
"And while Radar falls into his golden slumber, these people will temporarily assume the role of Pharaoh, rotating naturally like the rising and setting of the sun and moon."
"In this process, any priest could become the new acting pharaoh, and after death receive his own palace and enjoy peaceful rest."
Is tranquility a form of revival that can be achieved at any time?
Thinking this, Cong Yu nodded and followed the priest up the Radiance steps, through the extremely luxuriously decorated corridors, and up the stairs in circles... The room at the highest point of the hall was the room where the Sun King Ra resided.
During their journey, the two passed several other priests carrying basins of water, who respectfully greeted the female priest beside Cong Yu.
"Sekhmet."
Good morning, Sekhmet.
The priest, known as Sekhmet, nodded in response to their greetings... and then continued leading the way.
"..." Cong Yu remained silent, staring at the other person's face for a while, then pondered before saying, "You said before that the current Pharaoh, um... the acting Pharaoh, is Cleopatra, right?"
In response to Cong Yu's words, "Priest" Sekhmet shook his head and said, "To be precise, it was the previous Pharaoh. At that time, I was a priest serving Lady Cleopatra."
This statement can be interpreted in two ways.
One explanation is, "[Because there's a new pharaoh now, I'm no longer under Cleopatra's control]," and the other is...
"I've made it big now," or something like that.
"..." Well, any priest could become the new acting pharaoh... Oh, I see, I see.
This is how they are managing Egypt.
Having understood this, Cong Yu did not judge her friend's governance methods and choices...
He himself doesn't mind the other kings pointing fingers at the Wind City, but he himself wouldn't do that.
Or rather...
There's no need to comment.
"We've arrived. Lord Ra is right here."
Thank you.
Responding politely to the guide, Cong Yu stepped through the palace Gate: "La, I've arrived?"
This room, called the "bedroom," is not just an ordinary room... it's more like a complete tomb.
The place where Cong Yu is now is probably the main burial chamber or something like that...
The interior is lavishly decorated, with exquisite murals and reliefs on the walls, and a huge, flat coffin in the center.
There were also some plants placed around...
It looks like it's being taken good care of again.
"Ding-dong--"
[La: I heard you coming. Carry me away... The rope that binds me is in the cupboard over there.]
In response to La's message, Cong Yu opened the cupboard, took out a carrying strap, secured it to La's coffin, and threaded the rope through the pre-drilled holes in the coffin.
To be honest, it's a pretty strange feeling.
There's a strange sense of déjà vu that I'm about to "act behind my family's back."
Then, Cong Yu secured the coffin to his back, opened the passageway of the Jormungandr Train, and went inside.
When I came in, Dente and Tereido seemed to be talking about something.
Aren't you curious?
"While there is a bit of something wrong, but... Cong Yu is back."
At Tereido's call, Dente, who had been near the Gate at the other end of the carriage, immediately withdrew his eagerness and returned to his seat.
Cong Yu: "???"
"What are you doing?"
In response to Cong Yu's question, Tereido calmly sipped her drink, and under Dente's awkward gaze, said, "She's curious about what's on the other side of your carriage... that's about it."
As Cong Yu placed the coffin next to the seat, he nonchalantly explained, "The other end of the carriage is still a carriage... If you've ever taken the subway, you should understand that."
"..."That's quite reasonable... my ass."
Is there a driver's cab at the very front? Is there a first-class cabin?
In response to Dente's curiosity, Cong Yu twitched his lips. "There's no first class cabin, and no driver's cab, but there is a fuel room... similar to the coal-fired boiler room on old steam trains."
In Cong Yu's explanation, Tereido, who had indeed experienced the era of steam trains, couldn't help but exclaim, "Human technology has developed so fast... Modern trains no longer use steam."
Indeed, and in another hundred years, humanity will develop the world's first "Emotional Energy Conversion Device," officially entering the interstellar age.
Federation will also be formed.
As Cong Yu was thinking this, Tereido continued, "Modern trains and airplanes seem to be powered by dark matter."
Dente: "..."
Cong Yu: "???"
Wait, lady, what era did you travel back from? It seems like you traveled to a later era than me!
Dark matter?!
Dente was shocked. She looked at Tereido, her eyes filled with confusion. "Isn't it magnetic levitation?"
In response, Tereido blinked and hesitated before saying, "But, I read in a magazine before that dark matter was expected to be used in the automotive field by 2000... I think it was something like that?"
Dente: "That's not true, is it?!"
Hesitantly, Cong Yu asked suspiciously, having found the crux of the problem. "When was this magazine published... a few years ago or decades ago?"
"..."
"Um... around the time dark matter was first deduced."
The case is solved. In the early 20th century... United States antivirus magazines liked to publish random information, making wild claims and speculating about the future.
Amidst the silence of the Cong Yu, Tereido realized that the information she had received might be false...
So, the plane she took to Japan wasn't actually a plane carrying dark matter energy?
That's such a pity.
Realizing this, Tereido couldn't help but think that humanity was indeed incompetent... how come they hadn't even made use of dark matter?
(Human:...)
Thinking this, Tereido watched the train slowly start moving, then looked at the coffin that Cong Yu had brought on board, and asked, "Didn't you say you were looking for teammates? Why did you only bring a coffin on board?"
"..."
"Oh, she's the teammate I found... Sun King Ra! Come on! Give them a go! Let's go, ignore her!"
Under Cong Yu's instructions, La immediately cooperated and showed off her skills.
That startled me! I unleashed Sunshine Everywhere!
Cong Yu closed her eyes after speaking.
Tereido: "Aaaaaah, my eyes!!!"
Dente: "Ugh!!!"
Chapter 345 European Ghost-Fighting Squad
Thus, the European Ghost-Fighting Squad were formed!
Tereido -- Stand name is [Ore Torredo
[He is Ancient Ones], whose abilities are precise speed and powerful strength, as well as the ability to lead the way.
Dente Vermillion – Stand name. "I'll Go Tell Everyone at the Church," his abilities are watching plays and reporting to the Church.
Cong Yu -- Stand name [All tactics turn to base raiding: Cat Rai--], her abilities are summoning vehicles and slacking off.
La -- Stand name "Cong Yu, Come Carry Me!", her ability is wide-range fire and light attacks.
Bad news (1): Of the four people in the team, two were just slacking off and watching, one was responsible for giving directions, and only one person was actually fighting.
Bad news (2): The team's enemies are the Thirteen Clans of Vampire scattered across Europe, including some Ancient Ones and tens of thousands of other Vampire.
There is so much bad news...
In the eyes of ordinary armies, or Magical Girl Association and Church, this bad news (disadvantage) is absolutely fatal.
Of course, it's not all bad news for this temporary team; there is some good news...
For example... well, there's no need for examples.
(Vampire: Hahaha, the advantage is mine.)
Pulling can summon sunlight; it's that simple.
(Vampire: Hahaha... ha... ha?!!!)
"..."
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Ugh!!!"
In a dimly lit bar, a place unseen by the Church and mortals, lies the home of a Vampire clan.
A powerful melody was playing in the Vampire bar; it sounded like a very old song.
Hey, young man--
Cong Yu smiled, covered her face with her hands, and twisted her waist in a peculiar yet inexplicably gorgeous high-difficulty pose.
Perhaps, this is the JOJO pose that belongs to Cong Yu!
With a huge coffin on his back and wearing sunglasses, he stood with a blazing sun hanging behind him, illuminating the bar that should have belonged to a horror movie set.
This Vampire- themed underground bar, where the smell of blood should have been strong and damp, was now incredibly sunny and refreshing!
With <YMCA> playing in the background, the atmosphere became incredibly cheerful, not scary at all, not scary at all!
Beside him stood Dente, also wearing sunglasses, and Tereido, smiling broadly and holding a parasol.
Wow! It's three handsome men and beautiful women, wearing sunglasses and sporting confident, cheerful smiles.
They are already known to be the cream of the crop among performance artists.
Of course, when combined with the surrounding circle of screaming, writhing Vampire, the scene became even stranger.
