The rain gradually stopped, but the sky was still cloudy.
A black cloud lingered between the mountains and the sky, and raindrops fell from time to time, and a few fell on Hayakawa Naomi's face.
This is the water of the underworld.
In Naomi Hayakawa's mind, she vaguely felt this term.
"Naomi!"
Someone called her, and Hayakawa Naomi woke up and looked around. It turned out to be Yamada Shinichi speaking: "The rain has stopped. Since we have to send people back, let's hit the road!"
"Yes, yes, I have to remind Yamada-kun, I'm so ashamed." Hayakawa Naomi said, coming back and pulling her sister and brother on the road again. I don't know why, but I just felt that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the hands I held were getting thicker. It was getting colder. Naomi shuddered and turned around to look at Pei Ziyun.
"It's okay, follow me." Pei Ziyun patted her shoulder. Only now did she feel a little alert
At the end of the road, the group stopped in front of a mansion.
This is a mansion.
"Hey, is your family like this?" Hayakawa Naomi looked a little uneasy and stammered.
In this world, since there was no invasion of foreigners or the Meiji Restoration of rapid westernization, the Japanese rarely built foreign mansions. Naomi Hayakawa was surprised by this.
"Yes, this is our home!" My sister became energetic at this time and pushed the door. There was a creaking sound and the double iron gates slowly opened.
"Cool!" Pei Ziyun whistled softly. Everything in front of him was large-scale. Shrubs and trees were planted inside the wall to block the prying eyes from outside. The third floor of the mansion had a strong Gothic style.
This is not something ordinary Japanese can build. It looks like a German mansion.
"Is he from a famous Chinese family?"
The Meiji Restoration was promulgated on June 17, 1869, and on July 7, 1884, the "Hua Clan Ordinance" was completed. The original titles such as "public family" and "daimyo" were abolished, and they were collectively referred to as the Chinese family and divided into separate clans. , Hou, Bo, Zi, male five levels.
Among them, the old Gongqing family awarded the title of Viscount or above based on their family background.
The old daimyo family was awarded the title of baron or above based on their performance in the Ishiga and Boshin Wars.
The duke is above the one who is the subordinate, the marquis is above the two who is the official, the earl is above the two who is the subordinate, the viscount is below the three who is the official, and the baron is above the four who are the official.
"Logically speaking, there can't be very wealthy people here, but maybe it's not true after all."
When they got home, the siblings were very happy and jumped in. Although the yard was large, there was no one there. Pei Ziyun and the other three followed them through the yard and entered a house.
Although it looks like a Western-style mansion on the outside, the layout of the house is obviously still Japanese-style, with screens covering the inside and outside, the floor is paved, and the floor is carefully oiled. There are Japanese swords hanging on the south wall and Oriental decorations. It seems that the era is modern.
"Where's your mother?" Naomi Hayakawa asked, no matter how slow she was at this time, she realized something was wrong.
At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded.
"Alarm, there's an alarm!" Saeko was the first to jump up. Japanese kindergartens have disaster prevention knowledge and emergency avoidance training, and it is a compulsory course in primary and secondary schools. She ran to the window and saw a plane flying over in the sky. , something falls.
"What is this, an air raid?" Naomi Hayakawa opened her mouth wide.
"Lie down and close your eyes." Pei Ziyun only glanced at it, then his expression suddenly changed, and then he thrust the wooden knife into the ground.
"Boom" two concentric circles appeared, Kankan protected the three of them, while Hayakawa Naomi and Saeko had already closed their eyes, subconsciously lying inside the circles.
Then, there was a flash of strong light, and a blinding white light came in. Then there was violent shaking, and it felt like the mansion flew out. Then the surrounding clouds reflected blue-green light. Then, the ground shook violently, and a mushroom appeared. The same clouds kept rolling, piercing the clouds and tearing them apart for hundreds of meters in radius.
At the moment of the explosion, there seemed to be an invisible attack. White light and blue-green light rushed in, making a tooth-piercing sharp sound. Pei Ziyun took a step back, groaned, and sprayed a stream of blood mist from his mouth, looking at the sky covered by mushroom clouds. , at this moment, countless memories settled in the bottom of my heart rose up, and for a moment I seemed to be back before the car accident.
Is it really such a difficult thing to make some money
Pei Ziyun couldn't help but want to shout angrily, and his violence ignited his anger.
But he finally stopped shouting. After a long time, Pei Ziyun slowly waved his hand, and the air flow blew away the fog and dust. Not far away were two broken corpses.
Looking at the two mutilated bodies, Pei Ziyun's eyebrows jumped.
"Yamada-kun?" Hayakawa Naomi shouted. She tentatively opened her eyes and faced outside. She saw that the house was gone, the walls collapsed, and bursts of hot air made her lungs uncomfortable.
Looking outside, there was nothing. It turned out that the site was reduced to scorched earth, the facilities were in ruins, and there were also fragments of some nearby houses.
The huge smoke column kept rising upwards. Occasionally, I saw some people walking by, but they fell down again after a few steps. Some got up and continued walking, and some never got up again.
There were corpses and people everywhere. Some people were completely black-faced and even lost their eyes. Could it be that a meteorite hit the earth
But there seemed to be no unnecessary earthquakes or flying rocks.
"Onii-chan, what's wrong with you?" Saeko screamed. Naomi turned her face and saw two fragile corpses. Yamada Shinichi closed her eyes and shed two tears of blood. She couldn't help but tremble: "Yamada-kun, What's wrong with you, was this an atomic bomb just now?"
"Yes and no, don't go out."
Pei Ziyun said that the three of them were surrounded by a round light ball, which was about the size of the original mansion. The flames and smoke could not get close. He murmured: "It is really incredible to recreate the scene of the atomic bomb explosion and combine it with the resentment of hundreds of thousands of people." Attacking at the same time, and operating like this, it was really eye-opening for me.”
"If it had been anyone else, their soul would have been destroyed in an instant."
The atomic bomb explosion caused people to lose their souls, and the resentment of hundreds of thousands of people rushed in. Even if someone could resist the resentment, they would have too much information and crash. This kind of thing made Pei Ziyun really "surprised"!
"However, it's hard for me. The next wave is coming - Saeko, Naomi, buy me some time!"
"Hey, got it!"
The sky burned, the air turned red, filled with thick and hot dust, burning the lungs, visibility was extremely low, and only the gradual movement of people around could be heard.
Corpses were staggering out of the smoke, more and more, each one looking very broken, and they surrounded them in silence.
"Kill!" Saeko raised the knife and shouted softly. Her movements quickened and she rushed forward.
"Onii-chan taught me that war and swordsmanship have the same purpose."
"We must not give the enemy the space and initiative. We must attack automatically, just like playing chess to gain momentum, and defeat him."
"It turns out that this is why we in Japan call the art of swordsmanship the art of war."
There was just a "pop" sound, and in an instant, a human head flew up. There was no blood, only white flames, and the corpse quickly turned into a torch.
Then, a trace of power poured into her body - this is the power that Onii-chan gave to Saeko, allowing Saeko to grow up quickly and become stronger and stronger!
Her figure was more agile, flying like a swallow, passing through the gaps between enemies. At this moment, Saeko showed a brilliance that dazzled Hayakawa Naomi.
"But I'm not bad either. Work hard, Naomi!" Naomi Hayakawa stretched out her hands: "Water mist!"
Another type of water mist appeared around "Boom" and spread quickly. Strangely enough, this mist also affected the senses of these corpses, causing them to lose sight of their target and become panicked.
"Let it rain!" Hayakawa Naomi raised her arms and shouted to the sky. She saw black hail falling from the sky. Each hailstone was like an arrow. She heard the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff", and dozens of corpses suddenly fell. Fragmented.
"They did a good job."
Just as Pei Ziyun was thinking about it, his vision went dark, then brightened again. Steel and concrete buildings occupied his field of vision. People hurried past, including suits and leather shoes, students in black big-buttoned clothes, and others wearing uniforms that were either improved or not. Improved kimono.
The police who maintain order wear large-brimmed foreign hats, black uniforms with stand-up collars, and swords at their waists.
In front of the police, the rickshaw pullers wearing rubber shoes on their feet were soliciting customers. A little further away, you could still see paper sliding doors.
"You're back again, is this Showa?" Pei Ziyun frowned slightly and took a step forward. In the shop opposite, the shopkeeper shouted loudly to attract passing merchants. The aunt greeted him warmly: "Mr. Omu, you are back? You live alone. It’s hard without a woman to take care of you, right?”
"Please buy some back, please, I will make it cheaper."
"Then buy some!" Pei Ziyun didn't seem surprised at all. He smiled and chose some carrots. The aunt put more into the bag and handed it to Yamada. She also bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to come again next time. "
Pei Ziyun carried it and walked a few steps when a harsh air defense siren sounded. He opened his eyes and quietly saw a plane flying by and dropping an object. It was too far away to see what it was. He could only see a small black dot. The black dot fell from directly above the head, getting bigger and bigger, and by the time it was seen clearly, it was already close at hand.
"boom!"
A mushroom cloud rose from where Pei Ziyun was standing, and history repeated itself again, except this time Pei Ziyun was at the center of the explosion. He looked down and saw that there was no ground anymore. He only saw his feet vaporizing and his whole body burning.
Then a deafening explosion was heard, the shock wave spread, city buildings within hundreds of meters collapsed instantly, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
"Here we go again."
"It is said that ghosts will pull people to experience the process of tragic death, thus destroying the possessed person's spirit and resistance."
"The atomic bomb exploded, and there were still hundreds of thousands of dead people who were resentful. This is a big deal!"
"But this is already the seventh time, right?"
"The first time, almost my whole body was vaporized. The second time, my head was preserved. The third time, my shoulders and neck were left intact. Now, these seven times, only my feet have been affected."
"Do you still want to do it for the eighth time?" Pei Ziyun raised his eyes, smiled disdainfully, and said to the air: "Even if you want to, how much power do you still have?"
"How do you know? It's impossible. This is a spell blessed by Izanami. Even if you are a god, you will sink into hell, forget your memory, become one of them, and waste away in repetition again and again!" Suddenly , a corpse stood up, screaming.
"Why, you can stay awake."
"Why can't the death of hundreds of thousands of people move your heart?"
