It's a power, not a spell

After many years, I returned to the place where I thought I would never have a relationship again, and reunited with my old friends.

The man in the black suit opened the door first, Zhong Yuan Zhong also kept walking, the warm and dry air in the room stopped here, and the residual heat from the party was stripped from his body.

This year's climate is abnormal, but winter is winter after all, and the air still carries the humidity after rain, which is a kind of cold that penetrates the skin.

The neon lights of the buildings around the street are bright and colorful, but at night, there are only sporadic lights, which are sparse.Nakahara also rejected his subordinate's intention to drive him back to the apartment.

The distance is not far, and it only takes three to four 10 minutes to walk. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to enter the closed space right away... Just walk back and take a look at the scenery of this familiar city at night along the way.

Central Plains also felt the night breeze that was close to his own body temperature. Christmas decorations could be seen everywhere, the crowd was bustling, and the sounds of joy came to his ears.

Speaking of which...he had an agreement with those guys that there would be a party and a cake fight at Christmas.

If the soul is lost, the body over there will not become a vegetable on the spot, right?

He was standing in front of Wujo Wu at that time, and he should be able to catch him, so as not to fall to the ground.But when he goes back, it may not be in time for Christmas.

Find time again.

But why come here all of a sudden?

The ocher-haired young man slowly lowered the brim of his hat, his cobalt blue eyes in the shadows cast a faint glance behind him.

He was wearing very ordinary casual clothes at this time, and he was no longer wearing a formal top hat. He was alone on this day when everyone was together, and the lights at night were worse than during the day. The crowd mistakenly thought that he was some kind of bully.

After all, it is a rich port city, where prosperity and chaos present a contradictory yet unified scene. The existence of 'smugglers' and 'people|traders', hiding in dark corners, eradicates them like ants on a ship. Endless.

But compared to Yokohama, which was in chaos under the tyranny of the ancestors ten years ago, at least now they dare not show up in the open.

He turned on his toes, as if he was going to take a small path to go home, and walked towards the alley beside the street as if nothing had happened.

Although no matter how many are killed, they will continue to emerge, but this is not a reason to let them go.He didn't care about the group of rats hiding in the gutter, and when they found the dregs on his head, Zhongyuan Zhong would not treat them as if they hadn't seen them.

Besides, he is not in a very good mood at the moment, this is a decompression game delivered to his door——

The few people who stared at him had no doubts, or in other words, they didn't think that this little man with little strength could make any splashes.

As it gradually deepened into the alley, the noise of the crowd gradually faded away, and the peripheral light of the street lights barely provided a little vision.

click, click...

The sound of regular footsteps echoed in the long and narrow space, mixed with sneaky sounds.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stopped, turned around and saw a few people in a half-surrounded form, they were stunned for a moment, fearing that he would run away, and quickly surrounded him completely.

"you……"

The leader suddenly got stuck. He wanted to scare and frighten according to the usual practice. In the past, when the target was surrounded by them, he would usually panic and try to escape. bluff.

He finds the reactions of these guys very interesting. In order to see their more frightened and terrified expressions, he will say some threats like lines in second-rate novels.That is, like a cat teasing a mouse, it will bring him rare happiness.

But the boy in front of him who looked like a high school student, his reaction...he didn't respond.

The moon emerged halfway from behind the cloud, and through this light, the leader could clearly see his expressionless face.

Completely throwing away the strange feeling in their hearts, the leader and the others breathed heavily, "—I got rich."

Looking at the back before, I just thought it should be a good-for-nothing, but I didn't expect the face to be so good.This vote may be able to match their previous year's harvest.

The leader's brows relaxed, and joy filled his eyes. He raised his hand to signal to the others not to worry, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a slow puff.

——With such a face, it is estimated that it will be given to the big man in the future. Before that, he wanted to see the look of fear on this face, and it must become a treasure that he would take out to recall from time to time in the future.

The leader who was caught up in imagination didn't notice that the face of the young man in front of him was gradually stained with impatience.

The scum that Zhongyuan has seen is not rare. He is not in the mood to understand the thoughts of the scum. He puts his hands in his pockets casually, bends his waist slightly, and the next second the disgusting head of the leader can make intimate contact with the soles of his feet. .

"What are you doing."

Zhongyuan Zhong also paused, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the sound.

The other party turned his back to the light source, and he could only be distinguished by his outline as a young man with a slightly thin body and light brown hair.Like his voice, it gives people a warm and soft feeling.

It doesn't look like you can fight.

A few muscular men obviously felt the same way, and they didn't take him seriously.

"Hey, boy, I advise you not to meddle in your own business, or—"

Zhong Yuanzhong also kicked him from the side.

'boom! ! '

"Gum..."

The human body hit the wall and made a loud noise, and the eyes of several people present focused on him.

The ochre-haired young man with his hands in his pockets still had one leg bent, his hair curled up in a soft arc with the airflow, and then fell down slowly.The clear eyes, as if Lake Baikal was frozen, reflected the dim light slightly in the shadows, as sharp as a blade.

He didn't look at the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in, and said lightly, "That guy is right, don't meddle in your own business. Get out of here quickly."

People | Vendors: ...

"uninvited guest":……

Even if he lost his ability, teaching these miscellaneous fishes would be nothing more than a matter of fumbling.Central Plains itself does not rely on supernatural powers like Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and the title of master of physical arts is not for nothing.

As soon as the words fell, the second victim was already lying next to the leader, and the group of strong men woke up like a dream.

They didn't have the consciousness of companions, and they didn't even think about the possibility of beating together, so they ran away.

Zhongyuan Zhong also easily caught up, and solved three more cleanly.

The only fish that slipped through the net ran to the young man who had appeared before. He knew that he would be caught up soon, and he would end up in the same fate as his companions.So he had the idea of ​​​​taking hostages.

"Don't come here! Don't come here! Otherwise, don't blame me for treating this kid——!"

The 1.8-meter strong man was easily grasped by the wrist of a young man who was half a head shorter than him. The young man turned around and came behind him, kicked his knee, and at the same time held his arm and stuck it to his back , pull up firmly.

The brawny man was sweating profusely.

The young man also smiled at Zhong Yuanzhong who was a little slower, "I'm fine."

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded, and motioned for him to let go first.

Then kicked the last miscellaneous fish unconscious.

If no one was there, he would have kicked their necks, instead of just knocking them out.There are countless people and families harmed by these guys, not to mention that he is also from the Mafia, so there is no need for mercy.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought for a while, "Call the police. Just say that they are trafficking | human beings, let those guys seriously investigate."

Give it to the military and police... Tsk.

He doesn't have a good impression of those people, but the means are quite acceptable.Falling into their hands is not much better than losing your life.

After speaking, he stopped paying attention to the young man and walked towards the exit.Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air from far to near, and the young man subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it.

Accompanied by a shrill cry: "Meow!"

The 'thing' in his hand was twisting and turning, but Zhong Yuanzhong didn't grab it, and was borrowed by it on his arm, and jumped behind him with a kick.

He heard the helpless voice of the young man behind him, "Mr. Cat..."

cat...?

To be honest, this amount is a bit too heavy.

and……

The young man turned around, but the 'cat' spoke before him, "What are you!?"

Nakahara Chuya: ...

what.

One second before the anger value was credited, the young man named Natsume Takashi immediately covered the mouth of the fried cat, "I'm very sorry! Mr. Cat——"

Is it agreed not to speak human language in front of ordinary people?

The cat broke free from his hand, "Ugh! Natsume, this guy is obviously not alive."

"—He has the smell of "Huangba vomit". "

-

The development of the times, the decline of faith, and the gods who gradually lost their believers are no longer as good as before.

Up to now, there are 800 million gods in Gaotianyuan. Although "Huangbatu" is different from other gods in nature, it has not escaped the fate of gradually weakening.

But a few decades ago, daring human beings tried to control the power of the gods, and they chose Huangbatu, who had relatively more power.

Divine power and human power, that is, the power that humans call supernatural powers, mix and devour each other, becoming a "dirty" existence that exists between the two parties, and then poured into human beings.

As for his own consciousness, it has been wiped out in countless experiments, leaving only a little instinct - of course, the monsters don't know this, they only know that the power of Rage God has strengthened after this, Back to the peak strength of the year.

That is to say, even though the consciousness is obliterated, the existence of "Huang Ba Tu" can still be perceived.But just two years ago, Natsume Takashi was still in high school, and Madara, who was far away in Yayuan, discovered that the Rong God could deter the existence of monsters with only his remaining power, and his aura completely disappeared.

The monsters settled down for a few days, and after confirming that the killing god had really disappeared completely, they gradually began to act recklessly.

Natsume Takashi, who can see monsters, is in a more dangerous situation than before. At least relying on his original escape skills is no longer enough. Although Madara is powerful, he can't always follow him, so - he went to learn martial arts, I also asked Natori Monday about some ways to use spiritual power.

So in the past two years, he has gradually grown into a (rumored) new generation of killing gods who are frightened by monsters.

But, at the moment.

Although it was not pure, Madara sensed the divine power of "Araba spit" in the body of the guy in front of him.

"Are you His god? No...it's not that simple." Madara straightened her body in Natsume Takashi's arms, her furry face full of seriousness.

This guy...maybe it's the container that has endured divine power and manpower, but since he's here, why did Huangbatu disappear two years ago?

Moreover, the state of the opponent's body is also very strange——

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

The moonlight was dim, and in the dark alley, the leader who had woken up cautiously moved deep against the wall while no one was paying attention.

He still doesn't want to die, the money he saved hasn't been spent, and the women haven't had enough fun, how could he fall here.

Secretly spat, the leader's face was full of viciousness.He remembered that kid's face, sooner or later—

'Boom! ! '

The delusion of beating Nakahara Chuya in his head hadn't started to play, the huge force struck, and the leader's consciousness fell into darkness.

"Continue, what did you just say?" Zhongyuan Zhong also retracted the feet of the strong man, and did not give the leader who was knocked unconscious. He turned his back to the light, and his eyes reflected the figure of the beckoning cat, "— —Huangba vomits?"

He didn't intend to scare the person and cat in front of him, or the monsters, he was just in a bad mood.

Zhong Yuanzhong also took a deep breath, relaxed his facial muscles, and showed a faint smile, "Sorry, I didn't mean any harm."

This is not something that needs to be kept secret. Except for the little monster who has been hiding in one place, there are almost not many monsters that don't know.So Madara, in the posture of being held in Natsume's arms, told him the story of Huang Ba's vomiting seriously and deeply.

Finally he asked, "Are you His 'vessel'? "

"Well...that's right." Zhong Yuan also knew for the first time that the so-called "Huang Ba Tu" was really "Huang Ba Tu". But since he is the container of the real "God", "Why have I never seen a monster before?"

As a mafia cadre, he knew of the existence of monsters, but he had never seen them when he was alive, and he thought he had no talent in that area.

Bai Bai gave him a look, "You have that guy's aura on you, the monster can feel it halfway across the city. Yokohama was always called a forbidden area two years ago."

I see.Zhong Yuan also nodded.

"It's my turn to ask you." Madara said, "What's your situation now?"

"What do you think of me?"

The monster in the shape of a cat was silent for a while, "You should already be a dead person."

"I can feel that you have His divine power, and it is this power that keeps your body in this strange state. But compared to the heyday two years ago, what you have in your body now is not as good as a big monster."

"It stands to reason that if you become His "container", He no longer relies on faith to maintain existence, but has become bound to you. As long as your soul is still there, "Huang Ba Tu" cannot disappear .but……"

"—He no longer exists in this world, I can be sure."

He is in another world.

Zhongyuan Zhong also answered in his heart.

"Damn it." Madara's limbs were scratching in the air, and his tone was rather irritable, "What's the matter, please ask that guy!"

Natsume Takashi said helplessly, "Don't move around, you will fall."

"ask?"

Madara settled down.Hearing this, he asked doubtfully, "Have you never communicated with him?"

Since they are all integrated, isn't communication the most basic function?

More than that.Zhong Yuanzhong also lived for so many years, he didn't even perceive another consciousness in his body.But still holding the mentality of giving it a try, he asked in his mind: "Huangba vomits, can you hear me?" '

【I am here……】

Central Plains Chuya:!

'What's my situation now? '

【I am here……】

He asked a few more questions, and the answer he got was without exception-I was in...

Zhong Yuan was also expressionless: "That guy's intelligence level is not at the level of communication."

Madara was stunned for a moment, "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

After he had laughed enough, he asked again, "So you don't know what's going on with you?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded.

Madara didn't think it was a pity, anyway, that guy had disappeared for two years, everything that should have happened had happened, and it was useless to come back now.Instead, it's another thing -

"Hey, I've told you so much, can't you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"You should have noticed the monster power of those guys, Natsume and I came to find the monster behind them - you help us get rid of it."

They also followed these guys secretly, only to notice that Zhongyuan Zhong was also blocked in the alley.

Nakahara didn't respond, but Natsume Takashi, who remained silent, showed a look of disapproval, "Mr. Cat, you said that monster ate a lot of people. It's too dangerous to let... this gentleman go."

"Whispering, Natsume, this guy is much better than your three-legged cat!"

"It doesn't matter." I also shook my head, "The information Mr. Cat told me is very useful to me, so leave that monster to me."

Mr. Cat hummed, "My uncle's name is Madara."

"Central Plains Central."

Natsume was not at ease, "But Mr. Cat said just now, 'Mr. Nakahara's body is not as strong as a big monster'. We are going to deal with big monsters, right?" It was the kind that ate a lot of people and monsters.

That's exactly what Madara said:  …

"I'm just talking about divine power! His body is much stronger than yours!"

He originally advocated letting Natsume ignore this matter, but he also knew the latter's character. It was obviously impossible to let Natsume ignore the guy in crisis. , finally saw the hope of dumping the pot——

But now it seems that this hope may be shattered by his previous ridicule.

Nakahara Chuya: "Are you still a college student? The dormitory access control time is approaching. Aren't you going back?"

"It's okay, I live off-campus. And it's already on vacation."

It started on December 12, a total of two weeks of winter vacation, and he didn't go home immediately because of this incident.

"Okay, okay, why don't we go together!" Madara compromised, "You are the first to go, and if I can't solve it, I will take another shot."

The second half of the sentence is to Zhongyuan Zhongye.

"There won't be that kind of chance," he replied, but he didn't refuse them to follow.He still has some questions to ask.

"But." Natsume Takashi suddenly remembered, "Those people have passed out, we still need to find other clues..."

"Don't be so troublesome." Zhong Yuanzhong also tilted his neck, and walked towards the place where the group of people lay their bodies.

"—If you can't accept it, you can go to the street outside first, Natsume."

The red-haired youth came to stand above the leader's head, raised his feet——

"Hey, wake up."

The leader was awakened by the sharp pain in the face.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the face engraved in his heart, and he couldn't love him immediately.

Nakahara Chuya: "Are you awake? Tell me now, where have you been today?"

"Huh? Do you think—"

With one foot on his chest, the young man stared at him quietly with his icy eyes, and his murderous aura made him feel like he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

His mind seemed to be frozen into ice. It wasn't until Zhong Yuanzhong also relieved the pressure that he suddenly broke out in cold sweat and felt the fear and fear.

answer.answer--

Is the bridge of the nose crooked?How many chest ribs have been broken?I don't know, it hurts anyway.Although it hurts... but compared to the pain, he was more afraid of the feeling of being locked in by the murderous aura just now.

Worse than death itself is the fear of death.

"I said, I said——!"

"Tsk." He didn't expect it to be so easy, and he didn't have much experience in interrogation, so he thought it was all due to the difficulty of Sister Hongye.Zhong Yuanzhong also stared at him, "You don't need to be so loud. Say it."

But in this case, there just happened to be no bloody scenes.
