I really can't control myself

"What's going on?" Clark here is really confused about the situation. Why does the Hell Band here appear at this time? Just now they said Linton seemed to know something, but what did he know? To be honest, he really didn't understand it.

"Don't look at me." Seeing Clark's questioning look, Linton spread his hands and said, "I just have a general idea. I can't tell the specific situation."

"Then, let me explain." Suddenly a female voice came from behind the two of them. They turned their heads and found a long black man in white clothes who looked like a witch walking out of the passage at the back. Of course, Linton also knew this person, Kagura Chizuru, who was considered a relatively important person in this world. Of course, more importantly, she was one of the heirs of the three major families that Linton was looking for.

"Are you... Kagura Chizuru?" Of course Clark recognized the other party. After all, Team Nu had seen all the contestants' information.

"I didn't expect it to be you, right?" Kagura Chizuru walked to the side of the ring and first spoke to the members of the Hell Band, "When this King of Fighters competition started, I already noticed someone Collecting the spiritual power released by the fighters."

"Psychic power?" Clark asked.

"Yes, their purpose is to resurrect Orochi." Kagura Chizuru said.

"Orochi? What is that?" Clark was really confused.

"The being known as the Will of the Earth."

"The Will of the Earth? Isn't that... God?" Clark said in surprise. He always felt that the style of this fighting game suddenly started to go astray. I don't know what the huge black thing next to it is, but now there is a Come on, can't we have a normal fighting match?

"In the past, the Orochi has been protecting mankind since the creation of mankind. However, since humans separated from nature, the society formed by human activities was regarded by the Orochi as unnatural, and it wanted to respond to this unnaturalness with natural disasters. And the Orochi itself has become a symbol of evil for humans." Kagura Chizuru continued, "1800 years ago, the Orochi started a plan to eliminate humans, but before the plan was completed, it was stopped by the three major families. , the serpent itself was also sealed.”

"Destroy mankind?" Clark was stunned. God wants to destroy mankind?

"Although Orochi was sealed, he has not given up the idea of ​​​​wiping out mankind. And his men have been working to resurrect him. For example, Goenitz who appeared in the last King of Fighters competition is one of Orochi's men. One of the Eight Elites, and the three of you should also be members of the Eight Elites, right?" Kagura Chizuru asked, pointing to the three members of the Hell Band opposite.

"Yes, our identities are three of the Four Heavenly Kings." Qi Ye She directly nodded and admitted.

"As expected, the direction of my previous investigation was completely wrong." Kagura Chizuru said, "After I noticed that someone was collecting mental power, I already suspected that this was the action of your Eight Elites, but at the beginning I still I thought the three members of the Strawberry Shortcake Team were the Eight Elites, so I didn’t suspect you at all.”

"Huh?" Linton next to him was stunned, "Don't you think I look like someone else's subordinate?"

"Your body exudes an ominous aura." Kagura Chizuru said, "But I should have met you a long time ago. Although your aura is very ominous, it is not the aura of a big snake. Before, I was just worried about alerting the snake. If I had met you earlier, If you meet me, I won’t make any mistakes.”

"What's going on with collecting spiritual power?" Clark next to him asked.

"Our family has always been tasked with sealing Orochi as the eight-foot shrine maiden. However, a few years ago, my sister Mangetsu, who was the shrine maiden at the time, was killed by Konitz, which resulted in the release of the seal on Orochi's body." Kagura Chizuru said, "But This is not enough to completely resurrect Orochi. In addition to the physical body, it also requires huge mental power. So when I found someone collecting mental power during the King of Fighters competition, I already knew it was them. Actions."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Linton for this matter." At this time, the Qiluo Society opposite suddenly said, "It is not easy to collect mental power. The source of mental power comes from the powerful negative emotions of human beings. . We were worried that this matter would be difficult to handle before, but with the help of Mr. Linton, we have collected enough mental energy. Thank you very much."

While saying this, the Qiluo Society here saluted Linton, as if he was really grateful to Linton.

"There is such a setting." Linton nodded. Yes, he did not know. "Then it seems that those who face me are really desperate."

"So, this big snake is about to be resurrected? That's why he just said that the time has come." Clark said.

"No, there should be something missing." Kagura Chizuru said, "Although I don't know what is missing specifically, but before that, we still have a chance to stop them."

"Hahahaha..." Qiluoshe here suddenly laughed, "What's missing? You're right, there is indeed one thing missing, and that thing is a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Kagura Chizuru was stunned.

"But you are wrong about one thing. We have already obtained this sacrifice." Qi Yeshe said and waved towards the back, and another figure came out of the passage behind. Everyone was stunned when they saw the person appearing.

"Are you... Yamazaki Ryuji?" Of course Clark recognized the other party, and the person who appeared in front of them was one of the members of the special invitation team, Yamazaki Ryuji.

"Are you also one of the Eight Elites?" Kagura Chizuru said immediately.

At this time, Yamazaki Ryuji did not come out alone. He still held a girl who seemed to be unconscious in his hand. This girl looked young at first glance, probably a high school student, and she was still wearing a sailor uniform. But this person should not be a contestant in the King of Fighters competition, because Clark doesn't know him either.

Although he didn't know the other party, based on what Qizhaosha said above, Kagura Chizuru had already guessed that this was the "sacrifice" he was talking about. But what happened to this sacrifice? Why is this girl qualified to be a sacrifice to the serpent?

"It seems you don't know yet." Qiyongshe looked at Kagura Chizuru and said, "When my lord wanted to perform the ceremony, he captured eight daughters of Sugai Mingzun. Seven of them They have all been successfully sacrificed, and the only one left is Qi Inada-hime. And this girl has the blood of Qi Inada-hime."

"What?" Kagura Chizuru suddenly understood the meaning of Qiluoshe.

"So I said it's already too late. Everything to resurrect my lord is ready. You can't stop my lord's resurrection." Qi Yeshe said.

"Xiao...Xiaoyue?" At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from the side. Everyone turned around and found that the speaker was Kusanagi Kyo, who had fallen to the ground and never got up. He seems to be very weak now, and he seems to know the girl caught by Yamazaki Ryuji, and he seems to be very excited now.

"That's right, your girlfriend is the reincarnation of Hime Qida, and now, she will be used as a sacrifice to resurrect our Lord." Qiyongshe said, "Having said this, I would like to thank Mr. Linton again. , if you hadn't injured two of the three major families, our plan would not have gone so smoothly."

"Hey, why do you have to involve me when you do bad things here?" Linton spread his hands and said, "It makes me seem to be in the same gang with you. Don't bury me, okay? You are the ones who destroy humanity at every turn. Such low-level villains can't tolerate a great god like me, okay? Besides, what qualifications do you have to thank me? You are just puppets operated by Orochi, right? Otherwise, if you have any consciousness of your own, you wouldn't be able to destroy him together. Humans, right? Are you qualified? You have to thank the big snake to thank me, right?"

"We serve our lord sincerely." Qi Luoshe said immediately.

"Then you are great. It doesn't matter if the big snake represents the will of the earth and wants to destroy mankind. What are your identities? Do you all think that you can represent the earth? Don't you know your position clearly? If so That being said, not only humans but also the earth should be destroyed. After all, the amount of matter the earth occupies in the universe is too large, causing the progress of the universe to return to zero and restart being delayed. Ask that big snake if it can be so great. I would sell the earth for the whole universe," Linton said.

"What I'm really afraid of most are those of you who are inexplicably standing on a seemingly high position. You who casually betray your country to protect the natural environment, or suddenly betray your nation for the sake of world peace. No matter where you stand, you don't care. Those who know better, just tell yourself whether you are low or not," Linton said.

"No matter what you say, it will not affect my loyalty to my lord." However, although Linton said a lot, the Qiluo Society here had no intention of wavering and was very determined, "You should also give up the struggle. Because my Lord is coming soon."

As he said this, Qilaoshe turned his head and said to Yamazaki Ryuji behind him: "Come on, bring the sacrifices."

"Damn it!" Kagura Chizuru here was a little anxious. Although she knew it was too late, she still wanted to step forward. However, something surprising happened at this time. Yamazaki Ryuji here did not step forward at this time, but stood there holding Xiaoxue.

"What do you mean?" Qi Ye She frowned and asked.

"I think... what he said is right." Yamazaki Ryuji suddenly said, "I said before, I am who I am, and I will not do anything under anyone's orders."
