Chapter 68 Duel Ground

After explaining the plan to the Teraya siblings, life entered an ordinary track.

Li Wu had a very fulfilling week. In addition to preparing for Sunday's operation and contacting others, he also visited Miss Miko again to see if there were any demons and ghosts to practice with.

Unfortunately, there were no troublemakers like Uehara Yuichi, and Chiyo City was generally in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. In the end, in addition to deepening the understanding of the daily work of the miko, they only defeated a few mischievous spirits and little monsters.

In the end, the completion rate of [Exorcist] became 93%, and the completion rate of [Sage] became 7.9%.

Erica is still running away from home, and her parents seem to have acquiesced to this and have not visited Li Wu's house.

Thanks to this, the place has become a lot more lively every night, because Hikaru has moved in under the guise of accompanying Xiao Ai - although Airisa, who has a psychological shadow, would rather sleep on the floor than sleep with her. .

Later, the day came for the duel between the Teraiya siblings and the day when Li Wu prepared to catch the Headless Horseman.

"The original duel venue was chosen here."

Early in the morning, I called a taxi with Airisa, and ended up at the abandoned factory near Koharutsuru Izakaya, the final destination of my previous pursuit of Terayama.

The rusted metal bars reflected the cold light that kept strangers away, while the interior of the factory building had an open and vast space, which was indeed a very suitable place.

Traces of Li Wu's previous battle with the werewolf uncle can still be seen on the ground and the central load-bearing pillar, but with the disappearance of the werewolves in Ossory, he has probably returned to his daily life.

"We came so early."

Like a cat that has moved to a new home, Airisa happily wandered around the factory.

Perhaps to her, this large, empty place with no one in it is like a cave-like paradise.

"Because we need to make some arrangements in advance."

Li Wu has already told Airisa that in addition to wanting her to get to know the ninja siblings this time, he also intends to use her as bait.

After all, if his knowledge of mythology is incorrect, then he can only hope that the Headless Horseman, who is probably also here for Airisa, will not be able to help but take the bait.

At least it's much better than having an unknown guy watching in secret.

The reason why I came by taxi today was because I had something that was inconvenient to bring to public places.

Li Wu opened the huge suitcase and took out the forged head.

The Celts had a belief similar to head worship, and would even cut off and preserve the heads of their enemies, because they believed that the souls of the enemies they beheaded would serve their own tribe.

The head also has power and divinity, so they will place the carved fake human head by the well in front of the temple or home to obtain blessings.

Even the fear and reverence for decapitated men, such as the headless horseman Dullahan, is closely related to this.

Li Wu got a lot of these things from the school's sculpture club, handicraft department, and art department this week, and is now placing them at large intervals along the four walls of the factory building.

It is then lightly doused with animal blood preserved in ice packs.

The interior of the factory, which could only be considered desolate at first, was instantly filled with a strange atmosphere.

The plaster heads used for copying by the Art Department, the wood carving heads made by the Sculpture Society, and the heads covered with artificial leather made by the Handicraft Department look almost real...

The last one is really impressive. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Inaba High School.

In short, they were all dripping with red liquid, and their eyes seemed to be shining with a strange light, looking blankly towards the center of the field.

The so-called ritual venue is essentially something that creates a corresponding atmosphere through the placement of symbols.

He remembered that his father seemed to have said this before.

Now, under the eerie and solemn atmosphere that arises spontaneously, this place is no longer a modern abandoned factory.

It is a duel field from the ancient era of human sacrifice.

There was only the last thing left in the suitcase. He took out several hollowed-out pumpkin lanterns and placed them on the metal beam above with his extraordinary jumping ability.

At this point, the venue layout is completed.

"It feels a little like Halloween."

Airisa sat on a metal box abandoned in the factory, looking up at the jack-o'-lantern.

"Let's wait until Teriya and the others arrive."

Li Wu also sat down.

"Why does Li Wu do so much?"

Airisa poked his shoulder lightly and asked: "Like the werewolf before or the short man in green, it can be said that the meeting happened at the right time. Why did you take the initiative to provoke the enemy this time?"

"If I had just gained the ability, I might not have done this."

Li Wu recalled his thoughts at that time and said with a smile: "I was invited by Xingchuan at that time just because I could take the opportunity to improve my superpowers."

"Does that mean it has changed now?"

"Well, it has changed a little bit." Li Wu scratched his cheek, "I think the off-line guy is quite serious about protecting the daily life of the city, so he is more or less infected. Of course this You’d better not tell her, otherwise Xingchuan will definitely become proud again.”

"Oh - hum - it's Hoshikawa-san again."

Airisa put her chin on her hands as if sulking.

"If you hadn't met Hoshikawa-san, wouldn't you have saved Airisa in school, and wouldn't you have been involved in today's incident?"

"That's really hard to say."

"Uh-huh, it's really hard to talk about, isn't it?"

Erika vomited blood for the first time in a long time, probably because she was under too much pressure to wait for the Headless Horseman.

Li Wu handed her a tissue and continued: "However, if I think about it carefully, I still can't sit back and watch my classmates who are on the verge of death. After meeting Airisa and going through so many things, I definitely can't let go of the students who are being tortured by unknown people." Don’t you care about the friends the characters are targeting?”

He clenched his fists: "So I will probably be ready to beat up the guy who covets Airisa as I am now."

"Covet, covet..." Airisa suddenly became softer.

Around noon, the protagonist of the duel arrived.

Neither Teraya Rika nor Teraya Mahiro said anything, just said hello briefly, and then it was as if the strange head and the two spectators that appeared in the factory did not exist.

Li Wu could notice that they seemed to have focused all their attention on each other, so much so that their reactions to other elements of the outside world had become slow.

If the two siblings usually had a vigilant aura about them, so that if he wanted to defeat them, he could only attack from the front.

Now Li Wu felt that he could sneak up behind the two of them and crush their spines easily - not good, because of this week's preparations, his brain circuits were now a little twisted in the direction of violence.

The ninjas faced each other from a distance along the central axis of the factory gate.

According to the previously agreed upon plan, Li Wu walked to the center of the field.

"The battle between this pair of blood relatives will be dedicated to the 'Horned One' Kerurenos, the god of fertility, the ruler of the underworld, and the guide of the gate of life and death."

He activated [Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]: "I hope its messenger will come here!"
