The passenger ship did not encounter a storm, nor hit other ships or icebergs, and arrived at its destination smoothly.
It was already night.
After the combatants disembarked, they followed the tour guide to the hotel... no wonder!
The big guys are not here for tourism, no one wants to stay here overnight, and there is no hotel on this island.
When disembarking, all participants were fully armed and ready for battle.
Gorgeous, classical, fashionable, sci-fi, supernatural... A collection of psychics dressed in various styles, like a cosplay... No, a scene like a League of Super Heroes movie!
In addition to the combatants who disembarked, there were also two shikigami wearing black sci-fi combat uniforms and full-face helmets, exuding extraordinary momentum.
These two didn't show up on the boat, but anyone could have guessed that they were the strong ones in the organizer who watched the venue with the boat.
There is still some time before the ceremony begins.
The other participants and spectators who sailed by themselves have not yet arrived.
"Everyone can wait in the rest area, or you can walk around at will, just come back before the ceremony begins."
The speaker is a man wearing a black cherry suit and a white mask, a member of the Domeki clan.
There are six men and women who are dressed in the same outfit as him and exuding a strong aura.
And beside them were five Shikigami of the Heiqi family who wore various combat uniforms and helmets, and the two who got off the boat walked into the ranks.
Behind these fourteen strong men, there are hundreds of special forces armed with guns, which are the combat troops of the Heiqi family.
That's right, troops, real troops!
Not only the Heiqi family, but all the seven Onmyoji families have their own combat troops, which are strong enough to fight a real war.
Why is the top power the top power? Fourteen people with strong spiritual abilities and the group armed forces standing in neat rows and exuding a cold aura are the answer.
And not only that.
Looking into the distance, you can see a large ship that is definitely not a civilian ship, standing there silently like a quiet giant.
It was a warship.
warship! Not a cute ship girl, but a real mighty and domineering naval warship! The kind that can bomb land.
Do you want to be so exaggerated? Hey!
It's nothing more than sending troops to watch the scene, even the warships are coming, does the navy have such a free time!
While complaining about the exaggerated scene in his heart, Seiji couldn't help becoming worried: Is this a deterrent or a prevention
If it's just a town, it's nothing to exaggerate, but if it's prevention... what do they think will happen on this island? What is this blood wine ceremony
Think about it carefully, although the battle of one hundred and twenty-eight psychic users can make a lot of noise, isn't it too exaggerated to use an island as the venue? Even considering that it is more convenient to deal with the aftermath, it seems a bit strange.
Is there an inside story hidden in this ceremony? Or maybe the island holds some sort of secret
Don't get it... Lack of information.
The organizers built a resting place, and the environment is comfortable enough to wait in there until the ceremony begins.
But Seiji chose to visit the island.
In the dark night, walking on the deserted road with old and dark houses on both sides, it feels like walking into a horror movie.
Cracked ground, overgrown weeds, broken items, broken windows, open doors, collapsed walls, spreading moss... Everywhere is filled with the unique bleak atmosphere of deserted residences.
What kind of people lived on this island, how did they live... I can't help but think about this kind of question.
"Mr. Haruta." A voice called.
Turning around, he saw a man in a dark blue overcoat-style combat uniform and a ghost mask approaching.
"Mr. Lu Tian..." Seiji recognized the other party.
"I heard from Saito-san that you are the exiled 'Springfield'."
"Yes."
"Why is there no resentment towards the family? It is a very serious shame to be exiled." Lu Tian asked.
Kagura next to him frowned.
"Because it's my own fault." Seiji replied.
"Are you sure that's true?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Haven't you ever thought that you were actually framed or calculated? Although I don't know the specific situation, I don't think you, Mr. Chuntian, are like someone who would make too many mistakes. Being exiled for such a severe punishment is quite Strange." Lu Tian whispered.
"Because I've changed, I'm not what I am now." Seiji said calmly.
The scene was quiet for a while.
"Join the Vengeance Alliance, Mr. Chuntian." Lu Tian said directly.
Seiji looked at him.
"When I was on the boat, I wanted to talk to you, Mr. Lu Tian, about this alliance, but you refused...Why did you let me join instead?"
"At that time, I didn't know about Mr. Chuntian's situation. Now that I know, it will be of great help to the alliance to confirm that Mr. Chuntian has strength."
"Is it my strength that helps, or the blood of the Springfield family?"
"The blood of the Springfield family is also a part of strength." Lu Tian said bluntly.
So what they are looking at is actually the blood. Seiji understood.
"Why do you need the blood of the Springfield family?"
"Sorry, I can't answer this question, but I promise it's not a bad thing, and it won't cause any harm to you, Mr. Chuntian."
If it's true, I'll believe it. Seiji complained inwardly.
"What are the benefits if I join?"
"You can gain greater power, far surpassing the members of the family that exiled you—such as the power of Shunto Haruta!"
"The inexplicable power is like pie falling from the sky, it is not reassuring."
"It's not inexplicable, you will understand when the time comes, this is a brand new power in the new era!" Lu Tian's tone revealed a trace of fanaticism.
This kind of performance doesn't quite fit Seiji's impression of him... What exactly has this detective experienced
"I'll understand when the time comes... I don't really believe such words."
"It doesn't matter if you don't fully believe it. As long as you agree to join, I will give you a token. After that... you can choose whether to accept the new power, and I believe you will."
"What if I refuse to join?"
"Then pretend that this conversation never happened. But please think carefully before making a decision."
"Are you not worried that I will report you?"
"I'm sure Mr. Springfield won't."
Believe me, you can deal with it even if you report it.
"Mr. Lu Tian, may I ask why you joined the Vengeance Alliance? Or, in fact, you are the initiator?" Seiji asked.
"I'm not... the reason why I joined is to establish a new order!" Lu Tian's tone showed a hint of fanaticism again.
"What new order?"
"A better order than it is now! The first thing to do is to subvert the decadent forces that have brutally oppressed the entire Sakurajima for too long, so that those guys who have been aloof and wantonly doing evil will be punished as they should be!!"
Lu Tian's words seemed to contain scorching energy that could burn people.
"This is revenge, and it's also revolution"... Thinking of this, Seiji frowned.
