Gunslinger from Butei

Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets, looking thoughtfully at the steep and beautiful mountain in front of him.Although it is located inside the high school, even the three problem students who had no taboos in the past and ignored the school rules and explored the huge campus have never found it.

"This is the first time I've seen an enchantment technique that is so exquisite. It is indeed the strongest enchanter." Gojo Satoru said in admiration, "Even I can hide it from you. It seems that it is a bit difficult to live for a long time." Harvested."

"After all, it is Lord Tian Yuan who has lived for thousands of years."

Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at the depths of the torii without emotion: "It is worthy of the highest level of enchantment."

Starting from the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, the layers of torii gates lead all the way to the deep and invisible place, majestic and awe-inspiring, as if leading to the residence of a god.

"Let's go." As the scheduled sacrifice, the girl who would lose her precious life today took the lead if there were no accidents.

Gojo Satoru walked last, his blue eyes like shattered ice under the sunglasses showed a rare trace of fatigue.The slightly messy white hair is not as vigorous as before.

"Wu, are you okay?" Xia Youjie noticed his friend's state, slowed down his pace slightly, and leaned over to ask.

"It's just that I haven't slept for two days. Now it's completely OK to challenge the bottom boss immediately." The white-haired boy glanced at him and smiled naturally, "It's you, Jie, you haven't slept all the time, have you?" .I saw you squinting secretly several times! Small eyes have this advantage! No one can see that you are neglecting your duties!"

"Shut up, I was just thinking." Xia Youjie's face turned dark, and every minute he wanted to strangle himself who was worried about his friends to death. A person who owes Wu such as Wu doesn't need others to worry about him at all!

In fact, in order to ensure that 'Tiannei Lizi' can reach the Xingxing Palace smoothly in the end, and that the true identity will not be revealed before then, the two teenagers are unprecedentedly conscientious along the way-if the care objects of other tasks see it I would be envious to the point where I cried, and Noctua Moth Zhengdao couldn't believe my eyes.

So much so that at this point in the development of the mission, whether it is Gojo Satoru who follows the girl all the time and activates the "no lower limit spell", or Xia Youjie who dispatches spell spirits around the clock to detect the surrounding situation, both of them are not in a good state. good.Even so, the two have a considerable degree of self-confidence. After all, in this era, there are very few people who can face them face to face.

Everyone quickly passed through the approach, took the old-fashioned lifting device down from the hidden warehouse entrance, and came to the deepest part of Gaozhuan's underground.

Gojo Satoru bowed his waist and opened the iron door of the elevator. Several people walked out of the closed iron box. The goal was a vast space about the size of a football field. On the opposite wall were arches closely connected, like Like a maze, there is no light at all.

"There must be a limit to mysteries." Probably due to lack of sleep, the white-haired boy's already insufficient patience became even lower than usual. He glanced casually and walked towards the real destination.

"...I probably can only see you off here." Misato Kuroi did not follow.

The maid who had already been informed of such details stood at the door, and bent deeply towards 'Riko Tennai': "Miss Zhu, your luck is prosperous."

The girl who was guarded by two DKs over 1.8 meters tall in the center turned her head when she heard the words, gave her a relieved smile, and responded softly, "You too, Kuroi. It's been hard work... Your mission has been completed." Now that it’s over, let’s enjoy a new life from now on.”

— with the ones you love.

Kuroi Misato didn't dare to lift her lowered head, tears gushed out of her eyes and flowed wantonly.

When she restrained her emotions a little and raised her head again, there was no one in front of her eyes.

The young girl disappeared into a dark corridor together with two of the world's strongest guardians.

'Whoever you are, I want you to succeed. '

Misato Kuroi suddenly had a strong vision in her heart. Even such a wish would be treasonous to the current magic world.A memory that she couldn't forget a week ago emerged in the woman's heart——

At that time, Kuroi Misato received a notification from her family that Master Tianyuan's body had reached its limit and she needed to 'refresh' her physical state again—that is, when she was about to activate the 'astral plasma body', she almost fell into a collapse.

She herself knows best what the so-called 'assimilation' means.The Heijing family has served the 'star plasma body' for generations, just to raise her body well, so as to meet the needs of Lord Tianyuan.

In Misato Kuroi's generation, girls who grew up in a normal society and have a worldview in a universal sense can no longer agree with the so-called "mission" of their family.She originally planned to find a normal job after graduating from university, completely get rid of the mission of the family, and live a normal life from then on.But it seems that fate made people, Kuroi Misato met Riko Amauchi who lost her parents in a car accident at the most coincidental time.

She couldn't let go of that girl.

Especially when she got the news that Yu Lizi was shocked to be this generation' astral body'.

In order for her to have the daily life and joy that an ordinary girl should have before that day comes, Misato Kuroi returns to the family and volunteers to become a maid serving Riko Amauchi.

However, just because she watched the child grow up with pure goodwill, and when she learned that she was really about to meet such a tragic fate, Misato Kuroi was able to face the smile of Riko Tenuchi who had been prepared for a long time. Will be unable to extricate themselves into despair and grief.

It was on such a gloomy day that a girl escaped heavy protection and surveillance, suddenly appeared in front of the two, and made a devilish deal with them.

Misato Kuroi is clearly aware of the turmoil that will ensue in the magic world if Master Tianyuan fails to assimilate the 'star plasma body', but she still cannot refuse the temptation contained in the gentle words of the enigmatic mysterious girl.

She even cooperated with the girl to persuade the stubborn Riko Tenuchi, so that Riko, who had almost been brainwashed by the mission of dedication, agreed to give up everything she had as [Riko Tenuchi] and transfer it to the mysterious magician.

Misato Kuroi doesn't know how the other party did it, but from the moment the bondage was established, she was the real "Riko Amane" in the eyes of others, and her mission is to treat this "Riko Amauchi" as the real Riko , until she stepped into the palace of evil stars.

As for the real Riko who lost her [astral body] identity, she changed her name, was sent away by disappearing traces, and arranged to go to a secret place that only the two of them knew.

After finishing the work here, it's time for the maid to go back to accompany her young lady.

Kuroi Misato finally bowed deeply towards the empty front, turned around and returned to the old-fashioned elevator.

The wooden boards under him trembled slightly, and there was a decaying smell coming from the extremely deep underground.

It seemed lively when we arrived, but when Kuroi Misato took the elevator alone, he realized that the ground without light was like an abyss except for a small kerosene lamp on the top of the elevator.

Thinking of her young lady's original final destination being lost in such a dark abyss, Kuroi Misato once again strengthened her mind.

Relying on the blood and tears of generations of astral plasma and peace on the flesh, it is really disgusting to think about it carefully.

She should have made the right choice.

After leaving the deep tunnel, what everyone sees is an indescribable giant tree.

Compared with the sacred tree of Higurashi Shrine, the size is even more exaggerated. Just its existence can make human beings feel their own insignificance as if facing nature, but it is different from the holy and pure sacred tree. There is a delicate feeling of wilting, and at every height, there are thick shimenawa ropes tightly binding the big tree inside, just like entangled parasitic silkworms.

"This is Tianyuan?" Wujo Wu blurted out, "Is this guy really alive?"

"Wu, what do you mean?" Xia Youjie asked.

"It means that there is no sense of disobedience to treat him as this tree." Gojo Satoru raised his hand eagerly, his fingertips condensed the majestic magic power, "Is it still alive if half of it is blown away? I think it may be Will not fight back! Want to try?"

"Is the will of a 'human' so weak?" 'Riko Tennai' understood Gojo Gojo's seemingly inexplicable words, and added softly, "Is it because of this that 'me' is needed?"

"Go down the steps from here, and there is a [door] at the bottom of the tree root, which is a special enchantment that only you can pass through." Xia Youjie narrated the information he got from Noctua Moth in a heavy tone, "Really, do you want to go down alone?"

Whether it's him or Gojo Satoru's attitude, they are almost expressing their position.

But the girl just looked at them, showing a subtle smile: "This is what I want."

She walks down the stairs alone.

The enchantment bases around the trees are like desolate shrines. This magnificent building that can be said to support the basic defense techniques across the country stands silently deep in the ground. The only way to describe the atmosphere here is deathly silence most appropriate.

The girl found a special entrance at the very bottom and stepped in without hesitation.

Ahead is a vast expanse of white space.

There is no border at all, as if it is a 'blank' in the conceptual sense.

In this kind of place, it seems that even the flow of time has become blurred, without any object as a reference, even the daytime is like a dark night, which makes people's thoughts stagnate.

Riko Tennai stood quietly on the spot, closing her eyes slightly as if welcoming her own destiny, unaware of the door that disappeared silently behind her.

Counting the beating of the heart and waiting for 1000 to [-] beats, the girl finally waited for a voice.

"You came."

She raised her eyes slowly, and at some point in front of her, a strange-looking...humanoid creature appeared only three meters away.

He was wearing a simple white robe, and his exposed skin was like a dry tree trunk. His half-human, half-tree form far exceeded the definition of human beings in a broad sense, and was more like a monster than the gods worshiped by the Panxing Sect.

"The blood of the Chanyuan family, the heir of the Sunset Witch, the rebellious son who disturbed the cause and effect. And—"

"——Long Suo's most perfect masterpiece in the past thousand years."

The girl blinked her eyes slowly, and a cruel smile appeared in the gradually changing emerald-like pupils with beautiful color: "Ah, I was recognized."

"—As expected of a sorcerer called omniscient."

The moment her identity was revealed, the invisible influence entwined on the girl slowly dissipated, revealing her true appearance.

At this moment, even though she still maintains Miss Tenuchi's sailor uniform and her long hair is braided into black, bright and soft long braids, no one will regard her as an ordinary female high school student at school.

"It's our first meeting, I'm Oda Haiyin. Since you already know my identity but still appear in front of me, presumably, what I'm going to do next is also in line with your wish?" The girl showed a gentle smile.

"That's out of the question." Tian Yuan said, "I know your identity, but I can't see through your heart. But since you came to the door, it would be too rude to avoid it."

"I'm here to seek the truth. I want to know—" Oda Haiyin's soft voice ended with a dangerous trill, "Is it you who hindered me from going home?"

Standing in the white space, the color of the girl's body became more and more colorful and out of place. In Tian Yuan's eyes, she looked like a poisonous and colorful snake, brewing deadly venom.
