"... catfish essence?"
"Hey, it's Kiryu and Ma, who recognized me at a glance." The popularity is probably a symbol of the status of a monster, and the cat fish spirit who was called by his name even showed a rather proud expression.
"Uh, I guessed it, guessed it." He Ma was also a little embarrassed, he couldn't say that he knew catfish essence, it was because his own fox once introduced a recipe that blindly used catfish essence as medicine? Switching to a monster of a neutral camp like Santaro, Kazuma might still be interested in flirting with him, but there is a high probability that the catfish has something to do with Kosa Masaki's ghost mutation, so it's too late to be on guard.
"So, you are the mastermind behind the scenes?" Hema confirmed directly without going around in circles.
"No, I'm just a random fish running errands." Catfish Essence rolled her eyes and put on an expression of "do you think I look like a shady man?"
The catfish spirit with stubby limbs combined with the helpless expression of rolling eyes looks quite comical, so Qingliu next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing. After being glanced at by Hema, he quickly raised his face and held up Duanshi Qingyu to be on guard. Catfish Spirit's gaze paused on Duanshi Qingyu for a few seconds, and then fell on Hema.
The human named Kiryu Kazuma in front of him exuded a sharp aura like a sharp blade. Catfish Essence is no stranger to this kind of aura, it is the unique coercion of a sword hero and a sword master. In the past, he encountered such heroes in the troubled times of the Warring States period, but he did not expect to meet such heroes in this era. Experience told him that it was useless to be clever with such a character. When the female swordsman next to him laughed, Kiryu and Ma's anger enveloped him all the time, giving him no chance at all. Catfish Spirit couldn't help feeling a headache, originally he didn't intend to go into this muddy water, but now it seems that he can't get out.
"It's quite rare to be able to admit that I'm a miscellaneous fish so readily..." At this time, He Ma looked at the catfish spirit with a half-smile. Among the monsters he had seen before, the catfish in front of him was indeed the cutest in appearance, but that didn't mean it was easy to deal with. "By the way, who did you run errands for? Could you please tell me?"
"Hmph, don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about, little boy. This has nothing to do with you." Catfish Demon said in a preaching tone, putting on a mature and prudent look. "Are you chasing Jiazuo Zhengzhang? Now that he has been beheaded by you, you should avenge any grievances. You can go back, I won't stop you."
"Don't stop me?" Hema raised his eyebrows, this catfish is unexpectedly a peace-loving type
"That's right, I have something to say first, and you'd better not have the idea of taking me down and asking about the shady things. This place of ever-darkness is my territory. If I want to leave, you can't stop me." The fish essence snorted heavily, sounding full of confidence.
He Ma stared at Meiya Jing blankly, seemingly unmoved, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Compared with those enemies who are shouting to fight and kill and attack directly, this kind of opponent who seems to be lying flat but is actually slippery is actually more troublesome to deal with. Out of the corner of Hema's eyes, Hema caught a glimpse of Qingliu sneaking around behind Catfish Jing, as if trying to cut off his escape route, but Hema felt that this move might not have much effect. Just like what Catfish said, the Land of Eternal Darkness is his territory, and if he really wants to hide, others really can't do anything about him.
Among other things, as long as the catfish spirit jumped into the big lakes on both sides, he might have to go to Nantiao's family for depth charges. Wait, depth charges? Did I just think of getting depth charges? Kazuma was taken aback by his rude thoughts, but at the same time he had an idea.
"Understood, I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble, it's better to stop here for today..." Hema nodded falsely, and Qingliu over there widened her eyes. "But you let us go back like this, are you really not afraid?"
"...What do you mean?" Now the catfish frowned.
"Look, I'm a police officer, and I'm still serving in the mobile team equipped with heavy equipment." Hema took out the police badge as a gesture, and then caught a glimpse of the vigilant look on Meiyujing's face. The monsters who survived this era have an almost instinctive fear of the scientific civilization created by human beings. After confirming that this move was effective, he continued talking.
"Kasa Masaaki is the suspect I am chasing, and then he disappeared here. In order to continue the investigation, I have the right to mobilize the force of the mobile team to assist me in carrying out the task. For example, use blasting devices to block the abandoned tunnel of the reservoir, Or, use deep water bombs to destroy unknown underwater objects..." He Ma Xin talked nonsense. In theory, the police department does not have the power to act arbitrarily, but anyway, the monsters don't know the details of the Japanese police system, so they can't point out Kazuma's loopholes.
The threat was very effective. Originally posing with a hob meat posture, the catfish spirit, who seemed to be not afraid of the heavenly king and Lao Tzu, trembled violently when he heard the blasting device, stared at Hema with round eyes in disbelief, and waited until Hema threw it again. When the bomb exploded in the deep water, the catfish's staring pupils shrank sharply again, and the whole figure jumped up as if being poked.
"How dare you!" Catfish spirit glared at Kazuma, his body swayed like chaff, but his demonic aura suddenly boiled.
I rely on the effect to be so good? Didn't you really get bombed by a deep water bomb? Kazuma smacked his tongue in his heart, but on the surface he glanced at Meiya, and expressed the attitude of "Why should I not dare?" with an elegant sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it! I've changed my mind! You have to die here! Anyone who knows the existence of this seat must die here!" The catfish spirit who was poked into a sore foot not only became rough in his tone of voice, but also Even the two tentacles at the corners of the mouth showed an uncharacteristic posture of opening their teeth and claws, and in an instant, they danced and drew towards the horse.
"What..." He Ma was stunned.
Although the cat fish spirit looked stubby and clumsy, the movements of the two tentacles were not slow at all. Tentacles as thick as the wrists attacked from the left and right sides simultaneously at a speed not inferior to the stabbing of a bamboo knife. Even if it was as strong as a horse, it could barely dodge the first whisker whip, and then was whipped by the second whisker whip Hit in the shoulder - at that moment, Kazuma felt as if his shoulder had been slammed by a high-speed locomotive, and even vaguely heard the sound of the shoulder bone cracking. If he hadn't jumped back the moment he was drawn to reduce the impact, one of his arms would have been crippled on the spot.
He Ma retreated five or six steps back along the impact force, hit the railing of the trestle bridge, and immediately climbed the railing and jumped into the horizontal. Almost at the same time he turned over and jumped up, two fierce tentacles approached him. This time he didn't hit the horse, but the rows of seemingly solid bridge railings were smashed down under the whip of the tentacles. The sacrifice of the bridge fence bought time, and Hema took the opportunity to jump to the opposite side of the bridge, temporarily distanced himself from Meister.
"Damn, is this guy pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?"
There was a burning pain in his shoulder, and He Ma looked at the bridge pole that was almost wiped out with lingering fear, and had to admit that he almost capsized in the gutter. The root cause of the almost capsized ship was his arrogance. Looking at the stubby, funny-looking catfish spirit, he consciously or unintentionally felt contemptuous, but he ignored that this is a dark place where monsters can display their true power. As a result, he was caught off guard by the catfish spirit's fierce offensive. But having said that, He Ma had never fought with anything other than a human figure before, how could he not have guessed that those two tentacles would be so fierce
"Hema! I'll help you!"
While Hema corrected his attitude and put on a good posture, Qingliu also leaned over with Duanshi Qingyu.
"Well, that guy has two tentacles, and each of us is responsible for cleaning up one. Be vigilant at all times, I don't know what tricks this guy hasn't used yet." He Ma made a simple and rough tactical arrangement, and at the same time carefully reminded Qingliu to be careful Insidious tricks - monsters and humans are completely different species, and any existing experience must not be applied. The fact that he was almost planted under the tentacles just now gave He immediately a shocking lesson.
"clear!"
Qingliu responded imposingly, then picked the tentacles on the left and rushed out.
In order to cover Qingliu, Kazuma also immediately rushed towards the catfish. As long as the catfish essence is cut off, the two tentacles will naturally die down, but of course such a wishful thinking is not so easy to succeed. While rushing out with the horse, the tentacles on the right rolled towards him. The tentacles entwined with demonic aura were frightening, but this time He Ma was already prepared, and with a low shout, he slashed towards the front of the tentacles. Kazuma originally wanted to cut off the tentacles, but who knew that the moment the knife slashed past, the tentacles suddenly swung to the side like rubber sticks. As a result, most of He Ma's slashing strength was removed, leaving only a very shallow mark on the surface of the tentacles.
Not only that, but the severed tentacles swung back in a circle, and even superimposed the force of He Ma's slashing, and the speed and strength doubled. In the sound of Jin Tiejiao, He Ma was pushed back five or six steps by the heavy force, his hands were numb from the shock, and his posture almost collapsed.
"Hello?"
Is this a little fish playing tricks? Then the bosses he fought in the past would have to cry to death! ? Spit with the horse. That tentacle alone is already comparable to a top-notch swordsman, and the movement pattern is completely different from that of a human being. If you don't pay attention, you will directly slip into the abyss of defeat! Ever since he fought Uesugi old ghost last time, Hema hasn't felt this kind of heart-wrenching feeling for a long time. The fact of encountering a strong enemy made his swordsman's blood boil for a long time!
"X your mother! Who is afraid of whom!?"
A ferocious fighting spirit surged in Kazuma's heart, and Masamune's sword sounded pleasantly in response to his master's will. Kazuma lowered his head in surprise, only to see a mist-like white light overflowing from the authentic blade, and then turned into faintly visible characters wrapped around the blade.
What's the matter with you? He Ma was slightly taken aback, and at the same time heard the catfish spirit cursing from over there.
