John closed his eyes.
Under the guidance of Lynn, the boy completely blocked out the false visual interference around him. Even the densely packed scarlet eyes above his head and the rolling evil water under his feet were left behind by him.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
That steady heartbeat was extremely clear in the darkness, and it was the only real anchor that maintained this huge illusion.
There was a small sneer.
Two high-temperature rays that were only as thick as chopsticks but were red and purple instantly burst out from John's eyes.
The light beam was no longer refracted by the empty spiritual space, but accurately penetrated the illusion and went straight to the source of the heartbeat.
But at the last moment when his gaze was about to penetrate the opponent's chest, John lowered his gaze slightly.
Because he doesn't want to cause unnecessary public relations trouble for Lynn, and more importantly, it will disturb everyone's interest in spring outings.
A shrill scream suddenly sounded in the dark space.
Those huge eyes in the sky burst one after another like popped bubbles, and the rolling black water beneath them disappeared instantly like an ebbing tide.
The suffocating mental pressure around him completely collapsed in less than two seconds.
The air becomes fresh again.
The children found themselves still standing on the wooden corridor, with the open paper door in front of them, and the dim oil lamp still burning in the room.
It's just that the old man Kamo Family who used to be as aloof as a god is now writhing on Tatami in pain.
There was nothing below his knees, and his two calves had been instantly vaporized by the high temperature of thousands of degrees. The fractures were directly carbonized due to the extreme high temperature. Not much blood even flowed out, and only a pungent smell of barbecue quickly filled the room.
John turned his head, and Azure looked at Lynn with his eyes, like a good child who had completed his class homework seriously and was waiting for praise.
"I didn't kill him, Lynn, I remember what you said, it was just a small punishment."
Lynn looked at the old man on the ground whose face was twisted in pain and was about to faint, and gently rubbed John's soft blond hair.
"Well done, John, your control of power is becoming more and more precise."
Lynn took Annie's hand and naturally pulled the little girl to his side, blocking her view of the carbonized broken leg.
He stepped on the wooden floor and walked slowly to the old man.
The old man now didn't even have the strength to maintain his superior demeanor. He was gasping for air, and his cloudy eyes were full of uncontrollable fear.
Shikigami, which he had cultivated for decades with his blood essence, was as vulnerable as paper in front of this eight-year-old boy.
Lynn bent down, picked up the rough clay tea cup from the low table, put it in his hand and turned it around twice casually.
"The world is indeed a very interesting thing. It can materialize spiritual power, but you spend all your time cultivating your mind, but you forget that your body is still an ordinary person. As long as you are an ordinary person, you will not be able to stand up if your leg is broken."
Lynn put the teacup gently back on the table with a soft popping sound.
"I just said outside that we are just a group of ordinary tourists who came here to travel. I'm sorry for disturbing your cleaning today. As compensation, I won't personally pursue your young master who likes to throw chandeliers everywhere."
Lynn stood up and patted the hem of his windbreaker.
"I hope we can have a happy holiday in the next few days. The quality of children's sleep at night is very important. If they don't sleep well, their tempers will become very bad. Let's go. The air here is really not good. Smelling too much will affect the respiratory tract."
Lynn waved to the children, turned around and walked out.
When they passed through the moon gate, the Onmyōji and the warriors who had fallen on the ground in the courtyard saw that they had come out intact, and then heard the weak and painful screams of the master of the house coming from the main house. They were all so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe.
The young master who was drowned was biting his lips and kneeling on the gravel ground, fearing that he would attract the attention of these monsters by making any sound.
Lynn walked through the courtyard with the children.
Black Noir is like a dutiful background board, standing quietly in the shadow at the edge of the courtyard, waiting.
When passing by Black Noir, Lynn paused for half a second.
He raised his hand and patted Black Noir's broad shoulders twice very naturally.
Lynn said nothing, and even his eyes did not linger on Black Noir. He just continued to lead Annie towards the door.
But Black Noir understands.
As Vought International's sharpest knife, he is very familiar with this silent command.
Lynn said on the surface that he would not pursue the case, but that was because he had to act as a gentle and tolerant elder in front of the children.
But this does not mean that Lynn will allow a person who has murderous intentions towards children to continue to live in this world.
Lynn led the children out of the heavy wooden door.
In the courtyard, a breeze blew.
The young master, who was kneeling on the gravel ground, suddenly felt a slight chill coming from the back of his neck.
He didn't even see the figure in front of him clearly before he realized that the strange man covered in pitch black was already standing in front of him.
A black cold light flashed.
Before the young master even had time to make a sound, his throat was cut open with precision.
Blood spurted out, his eyes widened, he covered his neck and fell limply on the white sand, his body twitching uncontrollably.
Then, Black Noir walked into the main house and came out after a while.
Black Noir wiped the blade clean on the dead young master's dark hunting clothes, turned around and disappeared into the shadows, as if nothing had happened.
Outside the gate, the sun shines through the tall ginkgo trees on the roadside.
When Minister Sato saw them coming out safe and sound, his legs went limp and he slumped to the ground, breathing in the fresh air outside.
All he could think about now was to report quickly and send this god of plague away.
"Lynn, where are we going now."
Reggie As he walked, he reached for the chocolate that had melted in his pocket, and his stomach grumbled at the right time, "I have already finished digesting the beef for lunch, and I want to eat something else."
"It's a rare occasion for Bunkyō Ward to take you to eat some authentic Japanese cuisine."
Lynn looked at both sides of the street, "How about we go eat sushi."
When he heard the word sushi, Kevin's originally relaxed face suddenly tensed up.
He tightly hugged the special thermos filled with water in his arms, and looked at Lynn with eyes full of resistance and tension.
"Don't be nervous, Kevin."
Lynn looked at the little boy's actions as if he were protecting food and cubs, and couldn't help but smile, "I promise there won't be any piece of fish on the lunch table today."
Kevin blinked doubtfully.
"We can order Tamagoyaki Sushi, and the crisp Cucumber Roll. As for you, Kevin, I will order a super large Tonkatsu Don for you, and a bowl of Miso Soup without kelp."
Lynn bent down and looked directly into Kevin's eyes to make a serious assurance.
Hearing that there was Tonkatsu Don, and there were absolutely no fish, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again on his face.
Just when Lynn opened Toyota Alphard's door, the driver's door was also opened.
Black Noir sat in quietly and held the steering wheel with both hands.
The black suit on his body didn't even have a single extra wrinkle, and there was no smell of blood at all, as if he had been waiting for them in the car dutifully.
Lynn sat in the passenger seat, lowered the window, felt the cool wind blowing on his face, and turned up the music volume of the car stereo a little.
"Let's go to the best sushi restaurant nearby." Lynn leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to relax.
The Toyota nanny car started slowly and drove smoothly away from this ancient mansion that was completely silent.
The clear sound of the Reggie research game console and Tommy blowing gum bubbles soon resounded in the car. The sun danced on the window glass, leaving today's storm behind.
