Pluto's Banquet - Allies of Shadows

After the "Monogatari" program in the Mist Stone was over, Xinjisara, who was still in a world other than the underworld with Tireia, got up and got off the bed. She looked at her watch and it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, so she stretched out Stretch.

"Let's go~"

"Uh, ok. Let me lie on your shoulders~"

Said Tirea, who still wanted to sleep on.

The two who had been sleeping soundly before were awakened by the vibration of the Dark Mist Stone. Tilea continued to sleep after seeing that the new episode of "The Story of Sacrifice" was being broadcast, and Singisara finished watching the show.

"That's not okay. I'm going to go to the subway in a while, and pets are not allowed in."

"All right......"

"Every time you sleep with me, you always don't want to get up the next day. It's cute."

Then the two left the room.Tilea still wore a black lady's suit, while Singisara replaced the previous kimono with a pair of black cropped pants, a gray long-sleeved top, and a black round hat on her head.

The two walked outside the gate of the hotel and found the middle-aged man in a dark red suit with eyes standing in front of a car from last night.

"Ugh... forgot one thing."

Singisara said after seeing the man.

"Forgot to tell them not to prepare the car?"

"Our breakfast coupon came out after forgetting to use it."

Singhisara said.

"..."

After hearing this, Tilea took Singisara's hand and walked towards the man.

"What are you doing, don't go there, I want to take you to experience the here..."

Before Xingisara finished speaking, the two had already walked up to the man.

"Good morning, we are ready to go."

Tilea spoke first.

"Hi, two adults, please get in the car."

The man then opened the door.

"..."

Singisara was so embarrassed that she had nothing to say.

The car drove out of the hotel.

"Okay, let's talk about your plan, my master~"

Tilea deliberately elongated her voice.

"Hey, don't bully me, okay. I didn't tell Asakura Ayano the specific itinerary for today, although I will go to her in the end. But when I came out and saw this person, I wanted to go back and avoid it, and then come out."

"In the end, people already knew where you were going to take me, and they made a special trip to wait at the door."

"But I just said to Ayano before, 'I will bring someone over to eat some sushi at the seafood market recently, and then I will go to your place to say hello.', and the time interval is very short."

"I basically told people about your plan, so I don't expect anything from you today."

"Uh, don't bully me like that, how can I establish an image in front of other people in the future, hey, don't ignore me, hey!"

It is estimated that Singisara will not be able to calm down before arriving at the destination.

Returning to the underworld for a while, in the personal lounge of the players in the "Amber Ring" arena, Ogmi also finished watching the new issue of "The Story of Sacrifice", and wanted to continue to use the dark mist stone in the room to watch There was no other news program, but at this point one corner of the room began to twist inward into a small vortex, which then reverberated and spun again.Then a person appeared in Ogme's room for no reason.

Dusky pupils, pointed ears, long gray hair tied back, square-rimmed glasses, wearing a gray military jacket and black skirt.

Ogme still recognizes this person. In addition to hearing it in the lectures before, in the past two days, I have often seen people reminding the public to beware of the successor, and once the leader of the successor, Yadisa Mang, is found Any news from Feng will be reported as soon as possible.

But now, Yadisha Mang Feng stood in front of her.

"You weren't surprised to see me. Mr. Ogme-Burning Eagle."

Yadisa looked at Ogme-Burning Hawk.

"Because if you want to take my life, you should have done it long before I entered this arena. The leader of the successors, Miss Yadisa-Bangfeng."

"That's right, since we both know each other well, let's not talk about the polite words. I have been watching you secretly for a while, and I came to see you today because I want you to join the successor."

"Join you? I have been in the underworld for less than a month..."

"But you have the weapons of the commanding group, and you have had contact with the upper officials of the underworld and even the royal family many times."

Ogme's words were interrupted by Yadisa.

"Sorry, I don't want to join an organization that is hostile to the entire underworld."

"a ha ha ha!"

Hearing what Ogme said, Yadisa Mangfeng couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you. But what you said just now is true, haha. Cough, don't you also have a friendly attitude towards the upper echelon and the royal family of the underworld? Otherwise, why would you three be blown away? ?”

"You even know these things?!"

"As I said, we all know each other. Presumably you have heard a lot about me from the upper officials of the underworld, the royal family, and even Singisara?"

"I don't know much about you and the successor. If you really know about us, then you should have found out the whereabouts of my sister and Hanami, right?"

"Well, your sister is safe now, and she recently met a partner who is currently in the Blood Sakura Heights. Hanami's whereabouts are unknown, and we are still looking for them."

"Have you ever had contact with my sister?"

"No, now we are just monitoring to see if there are other upper-level officials in the underworld who have contacted her."

"Then use her life as a bargaining chip to threaten me to join you."

Ogme said.

"Well, that's also a possibility. But I won't do it."

Yadisa responded.

"Joining you, you are not afraid that my memory has been tampered with by Singisara, let me draw your attention, and then restore my memory after I join your organization to become the backbone, and then restore your memory. Plan to report to her, or do something wrong."

"No, because the only thing in the underworld that can modify other people's memories is a magic device in the hands of Chikali, the daughter of Singisara."

"Why are you so sure that Chikali won't modify other people's memories?"

"Because of her duties, don't worry."

"Duty?"

"I don't know if you have had any contact with Singisara's children."

"I saw it not long ago... Ah, do you want to talk about the scythe, I remember her youngest daughter is the welcomer."

"You've already seen the sickle, so it's easy to handle. All in all, each of Singisara's six children has a sickle, which also represents their position. And Chikali is the recorder, so she hardly To meddle in anything, just to record it all."

"That's why this magical device that can tamper with other people's memories is placed here with her. I didn't ask this in time when I heard this last time, but now I know."

Ogme's words made Yadisa suddenly serious.

"When did you first hear these words, and who did you hear them say?"

"...Singi Sara told us herself that we were entertained at a dinner not long ago."

"The time you were taken away from the Charmed City by Laila was to attend the dinner party, right?"

"Yes, we have also entered the inner world of the underworld..."

The reason Ogme didn't finish his sentence was because Yadisa suddenly came over.

"Have you ever been in the other world? This is really..."

Although it could be seen that Yadisa was very excited, she still didn't continue talking, and her expression became serious again.

"Ordinary people in the other world can't get in. Even if they go in, if there is no special magic protection, they will be permanently 'frozen' in there. You just need to know this now."

"Yes, why don't you get so close?"

Ogme said.

"Well, that is to say, at the dinner party, Singisara gave you the weapon, and then after the chain hit the ground and changed the position of the land, the three of you were blown to different places by Ferris' magic."

"That's pretty much it."

"Hmph, Xinji Sara's way of doing things is still so strange. I gave you weapons to want you to join them, but judging by the way you are now, the negotiation failed and you were randomly thrown into the underworld to fend for yourself... ..Since I gave you a weapon, it must have shown you the scroll that can improve your strength and learn new skills, right?"

"Yes, but I learned a skill that can absorb the abilities of those who have lost to me. After absorbing other people's skills, I also have some resistance to similar skills."

Hearing this sentence, Yadisa immediately distanced herself from Ogmey again.

"...what's the matter with you?"

"Contacting with you today has helped me a lot. I didn't say anything about asking you to join the Blade Successor before, but I will still send someone to secretly protect your sister. As for the whereabouts of Henami, we will also help you find it." I found it."

"Eh? Why did your attitude suddenly change so much?"

"It's nothing, I'm here today, I'll leave for now. Finally, I will give you a Nether Mist Stone that can contact me. If you have anything, you can find me at any time."

After finishing speaking, a small vortex twisting inward appeared again around Yadisa, and then she disappeared.

When I started talking with Yadisa, Ogme was thinking that the "Amber Ring" arena is also under the jurisdiction of Ferris, one of the two generals of the underworld. came in.And it seems that Yadisa didn't know that she, Eureka, and Hanami were all being watched by "Raven's Return".I just don't know if Singisara is watching now.The best result is that both parties want to use themselves as a source of information about the other party, so that neither party will let the Ogme three die for a long time.

As for why Ferris is not in the arena, it is actually like this.

Ferris hasn't returned to the "Amber Ring" since she found out that Ogme participated in the arena competition, and today she was called to the Tower of Watchers by Lyra.Unlike the last dinner, Ferris came directly to the top floor this time: the clubhouse of the past.

The dark red furniture, gray walls, and floors are the main colors here. At this moment, "Flash of Enthalpy" Lila and "Li Hand of Dark Memory" Donghua are already waiting for her on the sofa.

"What's the matter with me? And why did you choose this place?"

Ferris asked.

"Because it's hard to be disturbed by others. Then again, why didn't you stay on the side of the arena?"

Leila said.

"Because Ogmi Burning Eagle is there... After all, he is an alumnus of Sarah Sauce, and now we are not in a hostile relationship with him. So I am worried about how I will face him when I bump into him in the arena one day He, after all, I was the one who blew the three of them apart."

"I didn't expect you to have concerns about this kind of thing. Forget it, let's get down to business. I brought you here today to tell you something very important and dangerous."

"Did you touch something we shouldn't know at this stage?"

"Hey, it's indeed Ferris-chan~ Let me explain for Leila-chan, after all, I discovered it first."

Donghua spoke.

"After the change of the territory of the underworld, I found a surprising discovery under the Pluto logo on the first floor of Yingfeng Temple. Some powerful forces were sealed inside."

"These forces may threaten our things?"

"No, I don't think it will threaten us, but I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I feel the fear gushing from the depths of my soul."

Donghua looked serious.

"...Have you ever gone in again?"

"No, because when I went to see the floor the next day, it still couldn't be opened. And it was sealed from the inside with magic."

Lyra replied and continued after a pause.

"But it doesn't matter, I already put a 'deep bond' in it when I left for the first time, and I can go in anytime."

"So you called me here because you want me to join this 'Underground Expedition Team of Yingfeng Palace', right?"

Ferris asked.

"Yes, but there's no need to give it a special name. Also, maybe this time we will learn about the past of the underworld that we don't even know about."

Leila said.

"That has yet to be confirmed."

Donghua interjected.

"What did you see underground?"

"Below is a dark and spacious area. There seems to be a gate inside. When I use 'Profound Fetters', I create a ball of light wrapped in magic. One is to worry about whether using magic below will trigger anything, and the other is to use The light came to illuminate the front door slightly. But the created light ball was continuously swallowed by the surrounding darkness, until finally it seemed to hit the enchantment of the door and then disappeared. In addition, we also heard a song afterwards song, but this one seems to hint at the past of the underworld."

"What do the lyrics want to express?"

"This is just my personal guess. Maybe the gods abandoned this land for some reason in the past. The people here were destroyed by war, and the evil won. Finally, someone reoccupied it and defeated the evil, and then he They claim to be gods, but they are not gods of justice. Because the god who was supposed to save them abandoned this world.”

Leila said.

"...You want to say that the ancestors of Sara-chan unified the underworld, and there are existences stronger than Sara-chan, Kaoru, and Aoyi?"

Ferris' eyes widened.

"That's why I said it was my guess, and the song didn't mention anything about the heavenly realm, so it's hard to determine the past of the heavenly realm."

"But how can you be sure about things in the underworld?"

"Because there are two lyrics to the effect of 'I want to save all beings, but I can't do it all over again, I want to go back to the time when justice was still there, but everything has passed away', neither Singisara nor our former master can The magic of changing the past, so I'm sure there's a lot of authenticity to this song."

Hearing this, Ferris was silent for a few seconds.

"...When will you go in again? I will join you. Also, do you really not need to ask others for help?"

"Just the three of us. I don't want more people to know about it, because after all, some top-secret things may be involved, and I don't want to have something like 'Clear Night' happen again. What I need to plan now is how to get around us The people who have left will not come to us, at least in the next few days."

Speaking of branches, one of the twelve members of the "Dark Royal Council" "Yumu no Harumi" Kruya is still with "Ciyusuo" Yumi at the Yangyan Rift Valley.

"Master Kuruya, although what I said just now was interrupted by 'Monument of Sacrifice', but now that I have reached this point, can you tell me about the 'Night of Purge'? A small part was heard there, because Lady Chicari was not born then."

Yumi said.

"...do you really want to listen?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, but don't tell others. After all, this is also related to our dark history in the past, and the source of a special system now."

"Special system?"

"Your soul is not in your body now, is it?"

"Yes."

"Do you know where the earliest soul separation technology was used?"

"Earliest? Isn't it a ritual to sacrifice one's soul and swear allegiance to one's master, and then one's master will keep the soul, and even if one's body is destroyed, as long as the soul is still in the body, it can be restored again?"

"Then let me ask you, why didn't these high-level adjutants, including the describer, perform the soul separation ceremony, especially Mr. Fainting, who was already entrusted with important tasks when the previous Pluto was still alive."

"not understand."

"Because they haven't made any major mistakes, and most of us in the 'Dark Council' were separated from their souls during the 'Purge Night', so that if we make another mistake, Pluto can directly destroy our Soul. And now for you, the separation of soul is the same as what you just said, it is a ceremony of swearing allegiance."

"Will the soul-separated technology successor also do it?"

"They will definitely. After all, soul separation is literally the reverse research product of soul fusion. They should also separate their souls and put them in a safe place. However, after soul separation, the physical power of leaving the soul will not weaken. , so I think they should only be some upper-level cadres who will do this kind of treatment."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, now let me tell you what happened in the underworld that day about 40 years ago."
