Volume 2 Rashomon of Yomi Hirasaka Chapter 20 Death Eclipse
What is humanity's greatest fear?
It's death.
An unknown death. A meaningless death. An inexplicable death.
The greatest terror is knowing that death is coming. When you can hear the footsteps of death approaching you, slowly approaching you from behind, and then the cruel but fair sickle is placed on your neck, that is the peak of fear.
No matter you are righteous or evil, no matter you are strong or scum, no matter you are a noble or a serf, death is always fair. Even if you become a god, a lich, or the so-called undead, sooner or later you will be approached by real death. In the eyes of the undead, isn't the mighty holy light the embodiment of death?
To humans, death is a skull, but to a skull, death is flesh.
Looking at the mythical blood-colored river, everyone subconsciously felt a chill spreading from their brains.
That is the flowing death, the end of all life.
And around a big source, small things will naturally become even smaller.
Therefore , when everyone is overwhelmed by the death before their eyes, it is natural that they do not notice the death that is so close at hand.
Just as everyone was looking in horror at the river in front of them that was not very wide but seemed to be at the horizon, no one noticed a thin figure slowly retreating into the fog, and his figure was hidden in the thick fog behind.
"I will annihilate all enemies before me..."
A dark red mark appeared on the palm of his hand, but its light was obscured by the handle of the dagger.
Looking at the figures with their backs to him, Li Lin licked his lips, feeling a little bit excited about what he would gain this time.
Although it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, what does it matter? The players had already been informed and basically understood it. Some of the restless ones were given some corresponding compensation. Everything that could be done had been done, so in addition to the tasks, it would be okay to charge a little interest, right?
For example, there were so many people in front of them, and they were all dragged to this place without knowing what was happening. It was natural that they fell into chaos. Li Lin and Sally 's calculations were correct. Under extreme mental stimulation, the other dimension called by the ritual was indeed amplified through the twins' mental induction, and finally shone into reality to replace it. However, only Li Lin and Sally knew the whole process.
In other words, this is completely the second home for both of them.
Even Kazu, the executor, was completely unaware of this home ground that belonged only to the players and the great demon.
And now, the two people who have been depressed for a long time finally have the opportunity to show their true abilities.
"But I am enough alone..."
It's perfect timing.
Retreating to the edge of the fog, Li Lin turned on the steam device of the steam engine. Steam that was almost the same as the fog around the Sanzu River gradually spread from Li Lin's side, shrouding his figure in a cloud of mist.
There is no better scene than this.
Looking at the crowd that was gradually becoming riotous due to fear, Li Lin took a long breath and touched the bracelet on his arm.
"My body is spreading wildly..."
After confirming it through an extremely strange voice, Li Lin felt as if his palms were entangled by two pythons. A slippery, cold, and oppressive feeling spread from his hands, gradually pulling and twisting them.
From a visual point of view, the two palms still did not change. But judging from the perception, the palms that had become spirits were floating outside the body, swinging up and down according to their own will, and all kinds of small movements were no problem. It also confirmed from another perspective that the world in front of me was not independent . Since the spell had an effect, then other things would also have an effect.
The distance of spiritualization is limited, but the entire riot area is very large, and there are a lot of people. It is a technical job to kill everyone without exposing yourself. However, Li Lin, who has obtained a lot of good things from many players, believes that he can complete this relatively difficult challenge. So far, there are thousands of people caught in the riot, but not as many as imagined. It seems that the replacement of the fog barrier does not cover the entire town as imagined, but only covers the area around the lake.
Because they were waiting for the fireworks display and there were still a lot of preparations to be done, there were quite a few people around the lake, but not too many. Most of them were fortune-tellers and shamans working in the village.
These people were obviously encountering such a situation for the first time. They were a little panicked and started whispering to each other.
"What's going on? How did it turn out like this? This shouldn't happen. The ceremony hasn't ended yet..."
"Is it because of the gunshot just now? It seems that someone died."
"I don't know. When did that person climb up there? Does any of you know him?"
"We didn't know each other, and we didn't see clearly..."
At this time, the gap between the practitioners and the tourists can be seen. At least the practitioners still seem calm in the face of this sudden situation, or they seem calm on the surface. They still express their opinions and comments to each other rationally. The tourists have begun to stir up a commotion, and even in many places, there have been fights.
This is a good thing.
The more chaotic the situation, the more people will die, and the more opportunities there will be to fish in troubled waters.
Li Lin walked along the edge of the fog, humming a tuneless tune, and moved his spiritual hands slightly as he looked at the places where the fight was happening.
"You brought us to this damn place! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Seeing the burly tourist raising his fist as big as a casserole as if he was about to hit someone, Li Lin hid in the crowd and pushed the Buddhist who was talking and waving his hands forward.
Fighting is a very technical thing. Just a small mistake can turn the original quarrel into a fight to the death. The tourist looked at the monk with a stunned look on his face as he threw a punch and then moved his temple forward. With just one punch, the man rolled his eyes and lay on the ground, twitching all over, and it seemed that he was dead.
At this moment, the tourists who were just trying to scare people were stunned. Looking at the locals and monks who looked increasingly hostile, the strong man waved his hands repeatedly with a pale face.
"This, this has nothing to do with me! You saw it too, he came up to me just now! You can't blame me!"
"…I really don't blame you."
Looking at the tense situation between tourists and locals, an old man came forward and sighed.
"I'm afraid today's ceremony will have to be temporarily suspended. As you can see, this place is extremely weird. I'm afraid there is some terrible power around. We need to unite as one..."
“…”
This old man is a bit of an eyesore.
But it's also simple. How to make people who are already in a panic even more panicked?
The answer is, just kill those who maintain order.
'Bye now.'
Next to it is the Sanzu River, take a walk.
Looking at the old man who stood up to maintain law and order, Li Lin secretly grasped his head with his spiritual hand and twisted it backwards.
Under everyone's terrified gaze, the old man who was talking eloquently suddenly twisted his head 90 degrees with a click, looked at the terrified people behind him in amazement, then fell headfirst into the red river without causing any ripples.
The ceremony begins.
Looking at the screaming crowd, Li Lin sneered, and the runes on his palm became brighter and brighter.
