Chapter 12 Fragments of the Age of Gods
Underground space of the church.
Everyone felt like they were walking in the ruins of an ancient city, with many walls of architectural remains around them full of traces of etching from time to time. Even if they were not from archaeology, they could probably see the heaviness of history from it.
It is completely different from the broken walls and ruins before, because the buildings around now are no longer brick walls and concrete, but low earth walls and large and complete cornerstones - and they are all blurred in shape due to the years, and many of them are directly dug out roads underground and then carved out roughly on both sides.
It is so old that it is unbelievable and so old that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
If we could barely see that there should be traces of human construction, and the outlines of those buildings that have been eroded over the years also have an aesthetic angle similar to that of humans, many people may have begun to give up.
However, even so, the atmosphere became depressed. The dark space was too empty, and only the sound of footsteps was far away. Everyone had subconsciously whispered when they were talking, and the laughter seemed to have never existed before.
This ruin seems to be the ruins of an ancient city. It was once extremely huge. From the outlines of those buildings that were almost disappearing, anyone could outline a majestic and magnificent impression in his mind.
...
...
About ten minutes later.
"Wait, there is a mechanism ahead--" Mu Xiu, who had not spoken much in the front, suddenly stopped. Two seconds later, he turned around and said in a weird tone, "This road may not be able to go through, it is best to see if there are other channels."
"Mechanism? Is it a trigger-type trap? There are all along the way?" Isaiyama Huangquan asked first, and at this time everyone behind him also stopped.
"If it is triggered, it may be a trap, or something else. I have not studied this aspect. There are indeed many along the way, but... there are too many in front."
Mu Xiu's expression was like reading the script, and he directly said the information he had read. However, in the dark environment, he was shining by the light of the flashlight, his face looked sinister, and his plain tone seemed to have a gloomy feeling.
"This road has passed, and there are at least thirteen triggerable mechanisms within fifty meters, and it is not ruled out that I didn't notice. Although it is old and the possibility of failure is particularly high, the possibility of all of them still play a role is not without..."
The meaning of this sentence is that such a group of people rush over, they may be completely destroyed, or they may have nothing to do.
The possibility of the former is far less than the latter, but as long as it is possible, no one will want to risk being beaten into a sieve, otherwise they would not be careful along the way.
"Can't you rule it out? Or be careful?" Ionuan Koshi said in a muffled voice. His figure, which was nearly two meters tall and his knotty muscles were a guarantee of the sense of security for everyone in the team.
Even if there is a real high-end combat power, they are actually those who look weak and have no muscle lines. But after all, people are visual animals. Looking at the handsome and slender young girl, it will only make you feel pleasing to the eye. However, when you need to protect it with force, it is more reassuring that the muscles are full of flesh.
Well, it seems that it is even more dangerous in some aspects... But you will lose as much as you get. Isn't this the iron law of the world?
"The previous ones were all separate, and it was difficult to get around, and it was difficult to eliminate them. I had never learned the relevant skills." Mu Xiu replied casually, then seemed to have thought of something, and he took out something that looked like plasticine or dough from somewhere.
——There are several lines on the surface and a black timetable like a water meter. He directly adjusted the dial on it and added a casual sentence.
"Maybe the physical exclusion method is more effective."
Physical exclusion? What does it mean? Everyone looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Wait, wait, classmate Mu Xiu, your thing is C4 plastic explosive, right?" Ayana Sa instantly broke out in cold sweat, rushed to the front and grabbed the boy's arm, "What do you want to do?"
“…”
“…”
This word is naturally easier to understand, so everyone understands it, and when they react, they are also messy. Everyone is covered in black lines and takes a few steps away from a dangerous person.
"Hmm? How do you know it's from C4?" Mu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Ayazaki, can you have come into contact with these things before? This is not good. Even if life is difficult, it is better to stay away from the gray field as much as possible."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, thank you for your correction..." The debt steward nodded and apologized in a hurry, with a sincere and upright attitude, as if the politeness of conditioned reflexes was practiced.
However, the next moment he reacted, he was completely spartan: "Slow down, I just know the knowledge of illegal items. Why are you now planning to directly use illegal items? You have a standpoint to blame me!"
"Well, there are always some things in the world that cannot be explained."
"Do you only say such handsome words at this time? And such an explanation is too general!"
Under the accusation of the public, Mu Xiu could only helplessly give up such an easy approach. No matter how simple, straightforward, rough and effective this approach was.
After all, the terrain in front determines that it is definitely not a trap like quicksand or big water. It will not be said that the flood will still flood after it explodes. The traps such as crossbow arrows and poison smoke that are damaged in small areas are the most likely. Since this is the case, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just blow it up and relieve your worries.
That's right, as long as a c4 passes, everything will be solved.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to use it at all. Not to mention the accidental injury, it is impossible for everyone to risk collapse and choose to use this thing in the underground space.
Since the explosives cannot be used, Mu Xiu could only sigh, then stretched out his right hand and pressed the handle of the weapon held by his left hand-
"So, please step back a little and be careful of being accidentally injured."
Such a light sentence made people feel worried again. What did this guy want to do? However, seeing Mu Xiu's actions, the few people in the countermeasure room instantly condensed their eyes and their spirits were highly concentrated.
They probably vaguely guessed something, so they all stared at it with wide eyes-
The fighting style and tactical mode of the spirit beasts, secret magic runes, and the combat styles and tactical modes of the demon-retreatment masters are naturally not simply extreme points in physical art or spells, but powerful combat power that can be exerted only after comprehensive use.
The most intuitive example is the fourth lesson of the special tactics that the Ministry of Defense supernatural disaster countermeasures headquarters has just recently formed.
The members of the fourth special warfare class do not rely on the power of the Demon Retired Master family, but use generous conditions to surround the special talents that can see the spirit, and rely more on cooperative combat and advanced equipment.
The main members of the group, Guansetsu and Kasumiki, both of them were able to see the half-baked talent of evil spirits without using their special abilities, that is, the ability to have spiritual vision, but they did not have the qualifications to become a devil retreater. In the past, such people were the most unlucky. Seeing the evil spirit means that the evil spirits will be easier to notice you, and they do not have the possibility of growing and resisting...
However, based on the information obtained by the director, the result is a bit unbelievable. With the help of the team, these two and a half-baked people have already had the experience of successfully retiring Class B evil spirits with the help of the team.
This means that those two people can compete with Isayama Huangquan under specific conditions. As long as they experiment repeatedly and improve tactics, the four special operations lessons are likely to come in handy earlier than the scheduled time.
Then seize the resources and status of the countermeasures room, as well as its importance.
After all, a large part of the reason why the Four Special Wars Classes were formed was that some bureaucrats could not stand the countermeasure room that could not be completely controlled by them.
But that's what happened in the future. Whether it was Isaiyama Huangquan, Iwadaki Akiji, Nabu brothers, etc., they just wanted to know the sudden appearance of the killing god in front of them. They were the young school and means of the legendary demon retreater.
——This is the most concerned thing in the entire spiritual industry. I wonder how many people have hollowed out their minds to get such information.
Because the previous killing was too terrible, no one knew how he took action, spiritual beasts, witch insects, spells, barriers? Anyway, no one knew what kind of school this person was, and there was even no definite evidence that he was really a demon-retreating master.
However, now, it seems that the few people in the countermeasures room have such an opportunity to see it with their own eyes. Even if their knowledge is not enough to make a judgment, they can send the information back so that the director and more experienced devil retreaters can make a judgment...
Facts have proved that in too nervous emotions, people's thinking will become faster.
However, the people in the countermeasures room did not admit such a thing. They only felt that they might be dazed when they were stunned because they widened their eyes but saw nothing. They only saw the target person gently pulling out the knife and pushing it back.
“…”
“…”
That's it? Is it because I suddenly remembered that we were still there and didn't intend to expose it?
This thought flashed by, and the next moment was interrupted by the roar of the wind. The loud noise followed immediately, causing the feet to tremble like an earthquake. The next moment, like a huge laser light flashed one after another, the air around was torn apart, and the dust spread out was shattered and scattered.
A huge laser light shot out from all directions, and then a huge tornado appeared like a vacuum knife.
The violent wind was almost unable to open my eyes, and I could only hear the loud rumbling sound in my ears. When the smoke and dust were calmed down, the road ahead was already in a mess. The underground passage that could barely see traces was broken into a pile of ruins and rocks. Now, at least, all mechanisms and traps have failed.
There were only seven straight lines of "knife wounds" that stretched for dozens of meters on the flat road ahead, extending from various irregular angles to the end of the darkness until the sight could no longer be seen.
“…”
Completely ignoring the eyeballs that fell all over the ground behind him, Mu Xiu shook his palm with a strange expression. No one noticed that several deep marks appeared on his fingers instantly, without breaking the skin, but the bright red blood beads slowly seeped out.
The next second, he felt something and looked in the direction of a certain darkness. Three figures walked over.
"Oh, Daisy classmate...uh, what's wrong with Teacher Gui?"
He had just said hello, but his attention was immediately attracted to Gui Xuelu. The latter was forced forward by the expressionless student president with a wooden knife, and his face was full of ferocious but helpless, and he could only grit his teeth.
"We saw Teacher Gui on the way here, but she was possessed by the evil spirit. Now I haven't had time to drive it away." Gui Daisy had not had time to speak, and Luzhigong Yicheng explained softly.
Isaiyama Huangquan was the first to express doubts: "Evil spirit possessed? This is unlikely. There are few pure possessed spirits that are so powerful, and she does not have tumors that are common parasitic evil spirits. How can it be easily controlled?"
"Gui Xuelu" snorted coldly: "I rented it. For only one million yen, this woman will give me her body to control very readily..."
“…”
“…”
At this time, it was better to pretend that he didn't hear it. Mu Xiu looked at Yi Cheng, the girl seemed very hesitant, and seemed to have something to say. After a few seconds, she said to everyone in a daze:
"Well, I just saw something elsewhere, the problem may be very complicated... because this ruin itself may be a fragment of the God-Age."
Mu Xiu blinked his eyes and didn't react immediately for a while, but he subconsciously thought of a word he had forgotten to see somewhere.
——The ruins of saints?
