Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 322: The Fall of God (Part 3)
Tachibana Masamune took out a whistle and blew a loud and clear whistle. The long and endless whistle sound echoed in the lonely night sky. At the foot of Mount Fuji, there was a faint roar like a beast. Those were the deadpools raised by Tachibana Masamune. Their brains were transformed and trained for attack, so they would only respond to this kind of whistle. There were not many of them. Usually, only one out of every dozen deadpools could be successfully trained to be so obedient, and the others had to be abandoned. They were a very valuable private armed force.
He put on his backpack and parachute and jumped from the helicopter. A few seconds later, an eye-catching parachute flower bloomed in the sky. Although he was originally in the army and later in the navy, he had seen all kinds of storms over the years. Tachibana Masamune was good at parachuting and calculating wind speed, and would not deviate too far from the position he wanted.
Herzog was still dancing wildly in the helicopter. The vehicle had been through too much damage. Not long after Tachibana Masamune left, he saw flames bursting out of the helicopter. It completely lost control and fell diagonally with black smoke. The direction it fell was the cracked crater of Mount Fuji. The countless lava surfaces were covered with the hyphae of the White King. The helicopter exploded in it. It was not certain that Herzog would be killed by the explosion of his body, but it was hard to say if he was eaten by the White King. This could be regarded as the realization of his wish, at least he could be close to the White King.
Looking down from the sky, the entire Mount Fuji and the nearby land were covered with the hyphae of the White King, and were still extending farther and farther. Whether it was trees, soil, or steel, the hyphae could even penetrate them directly instead of simply covering them. There was a feeling of being wrapped in silver, which even made Masamune Tachibana feel a bit of weird beauty.
But those hyphae are deadly. They will get nutrients from anything they touch and are highly corrosive. This is really a greedy and violent creature. Even without a complete brain, it has such a large-scale impact on the surrounding environment just by instinctive predation. I can't imagine what it would look like if it returns in its heyday, and what would happen when the more terrifying Black King wakes up. The so-called end of the gods may really become a reality. It is a scene more terrifying than a nuclear explosion, and it is no different from the end of the world.
The parachute reached the ground at an altitude of 1,500 meters. Mount Fuji had been torn into pieces after the White King's turmoil, but there were still many places that retained their original appearance. This is one of them, the Oishi Tea House.
This is a teahouse built with logs on the side of Mount Fuji, located on the side of the mountain climbing path. It is not large in size, but it has a special location and elegant environment. The entire teahouse is divided into two parts, the terrace and the inner room, with the diagonal beams. The terrace part faces the direction of the sunrise. If it were in the real world, you could see the sunrise of Mount Fuji while drinking tea here. The tea ceremony and the holy mountain are both in the cup of hot tea at your fingertips. Many climbers will be intoxicated by the experience here.
Under such circumstances, the tea room was still full of customers, but there was no shopkeeper to take care of them and no hot tea on the table. Their skin was the color of steel, and the gaps between the scales could be vaguely seen. Tachibana Masamune's group of Deadpools sat here, each of them upright, like professional masters who came to taste tea, silently looking at the table in front of them.
"Where is the Eight-foot Mirror?" Tachibana Masamune dragged his tired body into the Oishi Tea House. The mercury bullets that Herzog fed him took effect in his body, and he felt a tingling sensation all over his body with every step he took.
No one answered him. The tea room was dead silent. Tachibana Masamune blew his whistle, but those deadpools seemed to be fixed in their seats by something. They didn't move. None of them even reacted or turned to look at him.
He sensed something was wrong and looked around. Past the side door of the teahouse, he saw a Lamborghini parked outside. It had a brand new logo and didn't even have a license plate. It was like a ghost that had appeared out of thin air.
Masamune Tachibana's mind buzzed. Who could drive a car here? When did people drive on the hiking trails of Mount Fuji? Although this was the world of Nibelungen, some things were impossible to do. The road from Gotemba to Mount Fuji had always been accessible only on foot, and it attracted tens of thousands of tourists to climb the mountain every year.
Deadpool's body slowly fell to one side and hit the wooden floor, black blood oozing from his neck. Tachibana Masamune then discovered that all the Deadpools had a thin knife scar on their necks, just one, but it was this one scar that killed them all. In the short time between him parachuting from the helicopter and arriving at the Oishi Tea House, someone easily solved all the Deadpools in the tea house, without even a trace of a fight.
Who is it?
"Are you looking for this thing?"
The lights in the tea room flickered on. Lu Mingfei sat on a beam high up, looking down from above, with her long legs crossed, holding a simple bronze mirror in her hand. There was a sword mark in the center of the mirror, and spider-web-like cracks spread all over the mirror surface along the sword mark. Although it still looked intact, everyone knew that it obviously no longer had its original function.
Of course Lu Mingfei didn't know that this was the real Eight-foot Mirror, she was just passing by... She walked up the mountain path and when she arrived at the Dashi Tea House, she opened the door and encountered a group of deadpools, which almost scared her to death. She killed all the deadpools here in a panic. In the eyes of the deadpools, it was like a girl saying "I'm so scared" while she killed everyone with a knife.
When Tachibana Masamune heard the whistle in response, it was exactly the time when Lu Mingfei arrived at the Oishi Tea House. She witnessed Deadpool responding to the whistle with her own eyes, and guessed that someone would come to this place, because the Deadpools were obviously protecting a bronze mirror. She didn't expect that the person who came would be Tachibana Masamune. This is really a narrow road for enemies.
Tachibana Masamune stared at Lu Mingfei with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief. He was not surprised that Lu Mingfei would appear in such a place. People from Kassel Academy would not easily die in the Night Food Field. These hounds would find him and Herzog by smelling the blood. What surprised him was that Lu Mingfei actually shattered the Eight-foot Mirror!
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Do you know what you have done? You have destroyed the path of human evolution!" Tachibana Masamune was furious. In Lu Mingfei's impression, he had always been a cunning old fox, but the old fox also lost his composure in front of the broken Eight-foot Mirror. He was no different from an angry child, roaring and his eyes were bloodshot.
According to his original life trajectory, Takatoshi Hijiyama would return to Moscow after completing his military service, find a job in post-divided Russia, support his family, marry a wife he did not like, and live his life like this.
But the ship named Lenin changed his life. He was obsessed with the world of dragons and drifted to the island country of Japan in the east. Here he spent nearly 20 years to realize his wish. The hardships were enough to write a novel of the level of "Masamune's Founding of a Company". He was willing to destroy his humanity and cooperate with his enemies just to get closer to the last treasure. Now he is very close to success. Herzog also died from his tricks. He is about to become the unique new king in the world, but because of the appearance of one person, his whole plan was ruined.
Without the Eight-foot Mirror, how can we deal with such a huge White King?
"Ha! Hahahahahahahaha!" Tachibana Masamune suddenly laughed wildly again, leaving Lu Mingfei stunned. This guy looked like an angry beast a few seconds ago, but now he was as crazy as Fan Ju who had made a breakthrough. He danced in circles on the spot, jumped up and slapped his boots with a very rhythmic sense.
That was the Russian Cossack kicking dance, which was popular in the Soviet army for a while, but Lu Mingfei didn't understand it. She just felt that Tachibana Masamune was dancing to celebrate something.
“It doesn’t matter! I’m done, and you’re done too!” Tachibana Masamune went completely insane, pointing his finger at Lu Mingfei’s nose, “Do you know that you destroyed the world?”
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. This fool didn't seem to be lying, but was feeling the pleasure of revenge.
"The Eight-foot Mirror! It's the only thing that can destroy the White King now! You broke it because you thought it might be ours, which is true from your point of view, and you did ruin my plan! But you also gave the White King a chance to gain eternal life! Without the Eight-foot Mirror, we can't defeat the White King, you and I will both die without a burial place in the Night Food Field, and become the nourishment for the White King's rebirth!"
Tachibana Masamune gnashed his teeth and sucked blood, his expression was ferocious, and he was panting violently. The huge gap in his heart really put him on the verge of collapse. The toxins and injuries of mercury were destroying his body. From today on, he no longer had Herzog's medicine to sustain himself. If he could not get the inheritance of the White King, his death would come quickly. It would be death anyway. If he could take revenge on Lu Mingfei, the person who extinguished his hope, before he died, that would not be bad.
"I thought it was a big deal, you scared me." Lu Mingfei patted her chest, looking very scared, "It's just the White King, just sprinkle some water, don't be afraid!"
She spoke with the accent of Taiwanese heroines in Hong Kong dramas, and at one point she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die on the spot, but she knew very well that this was what she wanted to say. In the eyes of Tachibana Masamune, the White King was supreme and invincible, but in her eyes he was someone who could be killed with just a flick of her finger.
This is partly due to the influence of Lu Mingze's personality. She promised Lu Mingfei to kill the White King, which means cooperation between them. The girl sitting on the beam is both Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze.
"You?" Tachibana Masamune felt that Lu Mingfei was bluffing.
"You people only saw a part of the dragon race, and thought that was the whole world. You rushed forward happily one after another. What's the difference between you and children?" Lu Mingfei smiled contemptuously. "But it doesn't matter. You won't see that day anyway. People who make mistakes should be punished. A friend of mine said it very well. He said that people who make mistakes should pay the price. If someone makes a mistake, he should have his hands cut off, and if someone makes a mistake, he should have his feet cut off. If someone makes a mistake and doesn't have to pay the price, then who will still believe in the glory of God?"
Tachibana Masamune looked at Lu Mingfei cautiously and stepped back slightly. It was clear that the girl had a beautiful smile like a flower, but she looked very pretty, but she made him feel afraid. This was a much stronger emotion than that felt by Herzog. He even couldn't help but wanted to kneel down with his trembling knees, just because of the tone of the sentence "The White King was nothing in her eyes."
That was neither a lie nor a joke, Tachibana Masamune's intuition told him that even without the Eight-foot Mirror, Lu Mingfei could still easily wipe out the White King, because she was an existence above the White King!
"Are you scared?" Lu Mingfei smiled. "So you are afraid too? How many people have you killed and deceived over the years? If you can survive, then God must be blind or died too early."
The heavy wind pressure and majesty overwhelmed the last line of defense in Tachibana Masamune's heart. He actually turned around and ran wildly. He had just defeated an enemy like Herzog not long ago, but now he couldn't even muster the heart to resist. He chose to escape!
Tachibana Masamune rushed out of the door and suddenly felt a pain in his neck. The next moment, his vision spun 360 degrees and the world turned upside down. He saw his body running forward, avoiding the thing behind him, but he forgot to take his head with him and fell to the ground after running a few steps.
His consciousness was rapidly fading, and Masamune Tachibana realized that his head had been chopped off. A pair of feet wearing Roman shoes walked up to him. Eri placed a bunch of purple amaryllis flowers in front of Masamune Tachibana, and her white skirt fluttered in the wind. No one knew where she got the bouquet of flowers from. It was a rare thing in Nibelung. Maybe it was from a flower shop that had not yet gone bankrupt.
It was she who killed Tachibana Masamune. Because they didn't know who would come here, Lu Mingfei and her agreed to guard the store inside and outside respectively. With her hearing, she could easily know the conversation happening in the store.
Word Spirit: Judgment, as the secret weapon of the Snake Eight Clan, Eri possesses this mythical Word Spirit. For her, attacking is just an order called death, and the power of this Word Spirit will kill the target by any possible means.
When Tachibana Masamune tried to escape from the store, Eri simply used her own words, and a piece of stone as thin as a cicada's wing bounced up from the ground, like a sharp knife flashing by, and directly cut Tachibana Masamune's neck.
Seeing clearly that it was Eri, Tachibana Masamune moved his lips and even wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. Maybe he was begging, or maybe he wanted to win some sympathy, because it was he who gave Eri the opportunity to grow up to this day, and maybe Eri could save him out of some kind of friendship in the past... Girls are always soft-hearted.
Eri just shook her head gently. She seemed to understand what Tachibana Masamune wanted to say, but she refused. Lu Mingfei had told her everything that had happened before on the way here. In this case, it was far more important to let Eri understand what was happening and what to do than to let her be confused all the time.
