Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 163 Wish Collection Sacrifice (End)
In the deserted streets and alleys in the middle of the night, demons and ghosts gather in front of the wooden stage. Everything in front of you is like the background of a ghost story, but what is being staged is a performance of worshiping a kind and straight god.Folding fans fluttered with gray sleeves, bells rang to the sound of elegant music, and pretty girls in gray clothes and golden crowns sang ancient legends in their dance steps.

·
In the ancient past, there lived a beautiful woman named Izu Nobu in Zero Island.She is kind and intelligent, knows a lot of knowledge, and taught the people how to grow beans.

With her help, the lives of nearby residents are getting better and better.The priests who worshiped the gods heard the rumors and came to investigate.The priests set up various tests, trying to test whether she really had the ability as rumored, but all of them were easily resolved.

Izu's intelligence and kindness won the trust of everyone, and everyone elected her to be the new leader.So Nobui Izu became the ruler of Zero Island and served as the great witch of Futsu God.Under her management, everything is in order and everyone has a smile on their faces.

However, everything in the world obeys the principle of vortex, and it is predestined that the prosperity must decline.The cycle of Kuzutsu and Naomi has lost its balance for thousands of years, and the power of Kuzu has accumulated to its limit during this period.

The God of Fujin told his maiden that he would descend on the peak of the gods and restore his kingdom with a ritual of exorcism.

The great witch conveyed her wishes to everyone, and the people of Zero Island were extremely sad.The coming of the God of Disaster will take away a large number of lives, and no one knows what the world will look like!
Izu could not bear to see the tragic situation of the people, so she decided to hold a ceremony to worship the gods.Dedicate myself, which has gathered the power of straightness, to the gods, and exchange for the peace of the whirlpool with a marriage of gods.

So Izuno sold his life, returned his soul to the underworld, and became the wife of the god of disaster.

The golden light directly adjoining returned with the witch, and the God of Futsu did not descend on the island.Zero Island was finally peaceful, but people lost their kind priestess.People all over the island cried bitterly for the death of Izu Nobu, and the crying lasted for six days and six nights without stopping.

The God of Mitsutsu in the vortex heard everyone's cries, and he was moved by people's feelings, and gave Izu the status of a prostitute god, and let his maiden return from the underworld.

Izu Nomi reappeared in front of the people, wearing a gray priestess costume and a golden crown.She is the wife of the gods and the messenger of the gods.

Since then, Izu Nomi has become the god of good luck and kindness.To commemorate the shrine maiden and thank the gods, people hold a festival to worship the gods at the same time every year.The rulers offered tributes of Zhi Zhi's power to restore balance to the vortex.People's lives can be continued, which is the origin of the Kushen Festival.

·
"The Izu returned from the underworld can be sold, and a golden thread hangs down for people. Those who are kind to others will eventually be accompanied by good luck..."

With these words at the end, Rina ended nearly half an hour of dancing.She walked back in front of the Fox God, saluted like the previous Sakura Dance, and exited.

The fox god looked at the few spectators in the audience, and said with a smile: "This year's wish collection festival can be called an unprecedented success. I would like to express my gratitude to the humans who worked hard for us."

The hidden gods in the audience responded in unison.Gongsun Ce whispered, "Let's go and find the old man."

"Yo, are you shy?"

"I'm thinking about my glasses."

·
When the superhuman went to the blacksmith's shop, the old blacksmith had already finished the things and put them on the cotton cloth.Shi Yuling's short arrow didn't seem to have changed from before, and Gongsun Ce's spectacle frame was coated with a layer of golden color. He put on the spectacle and said awkwardly, "Why does it feel like a gentle scum..."

"Ha!" The old blacksmith was amused by the words, "Listen carefully, An Xin is fixed on these glasses. When you move your mind, the power to protect your soul will naturally come out, once a day, to protect your peace of mind."

Just as Gongsun Ce was about to thank him, he realized that the old blacksmith hadn't finished speaking.

"There is another intention, which is a fixed wish. When you are in an extremely dangerous situation, it may save your life... But I don't know exactly how this intention works and how long it will last." The old blacksmith said. Spraying steam, "Your good luck today should be here."

The gray-haired young man thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, old man!"

Father Tara lit up an oil lamp, and said to Shigure: "Try yours!"

Shigure Zero threw the short arrow at the road illuminated by the fire, and at the moment the arrow hit the ground, a shadow with a radius of about one meter appeared centered on the arrow.

"This is great." The huntress exclaimed in surprise, "This way, I can pretend to shoot the sky, and use the shadow freesia that grows in the dark to perform disorderly teleportation!"

"I thought you wanted to teleport, but it turned out to be such an excessive usage?!"

"It's so noisy that a weak woman teleports to the enemy's side to die!"

The old man who finished the business stopped talking. The gray-haired young man looked at his glasses carefully for a while, and asked again: "The old man used to do business on Yamato Island?"

"Shuriken, kunai, samurai swords, armor, ninja costumes... I have done a lot of business with them." Father Tatara said mockingly, "But the world has changed in the past few years, and I don't like old crafts anymore. .It’s full of living mechanization, electronic prosthetics, biochemical transformation, and direct nerve connection... I don’t know what to say, how can there be intentions in it! I’m outdated, and I can’t stay there anymore. After another 200 years, I should naturally Went to the ground."

You have been wielding a hammer for more than 1000 years, and it is no longer a saying that you are not out of date...

Gongsun Ce saw that the old monk was in a bad mood, so he had a brainstorm and came up with a good idea.

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. Although modern technology is a bit difficult to understand, it's not necessarily true if you say you don't have a heart." He took out the mind arm from the doctor from his suitcase, and changed it to 3.5. "You look at this?"

This is the mind arm made by Cecil's laboratory. Based on his understanding of the white coats, the foundation of this thing is 100% a technological creation, at least the technological creation of the capital of the sky.

Father Ta Tiao took the mask, looked at it with disdain, and then raised it closer to look, the light in his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Which company made this!"

"This is a special product in my hometown, a product of modern industry, would you be interested in giving it to you?"

"No need." Father Ta Tiao put down the mask, "Modern industry...it's so strange...what a strange thing...I'm going to ask the witch!"

The old blacksmith hopped away on one leg. Shi Yuling rolled his eyes and said, "You probably succeeded in making the oldest surviving traditional craftsman on Zero Island plan to change careers. I don't know whether you are good or bad."

"Isn't it a good thing for experienced craftsmen to have the idea of ​​learning new things? Maybe after a while, Dad Ta Tara will be able to figure out a machine gun with a heart camera."

"Wicked!" Shi Yu Ling sighed, "It's really wicked!"

Gongsun Ce took out his pocket watch and checked the time.There is still more than a minute, and it will be exactly twelve o'clock.He remembered the warning of the fox god, and hurried to the divination booth that had not been withdrawn.

·
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street.

Sakura Wu put on the mask of a fox and stood in front of the god of imperial cuisine.

Mrs. Fox smiled: "Are you angry at Fushimi's reaction?"

"How could it be." The witch shook her head, "Grandma just took this opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction. In fact, she wanted to disrupt the ceremony and prevent me from participating in the God of Disaster Sacrifice."

"That person with a bad temper... She was the one who suggested it at the beginning, but then she backed out. In the long-term relationship, I will treat you as a real granddaughter." The fox god complained, but he couldn't see her. With a look of reproach, "Forgive her, Sakura Wu. She is already an old man."

"How could you blame her?" Ying Wu said softly.She lifted the index finger and little finger of her right hand, made a fox-like "fox window" gesture, and lightly touched the imitated fox's mouth on the proprietress's black nose.

The proprietress shook her head again and again, as if feeling itchy.A little golden light flickered between Ying Wu's fingers, and soon disappeared.

Under Fushimi's old man's excuse, the dance performance that should have been completed by Sakura Mai was forcibly interrupted and replaced by a newcomer.But the ritual is not a necessary result, it is just a step to connect with the gods.When the gods appear in front of people, there is no need for complicated rituals, and the effect of communication can also be achieved.

The hour hand points to 12 at this moment, and a new day has arrived.Sakura danced away her gestures and looked at the clear night sky.

"In this way, the necessary adjacencies have been collected."

"Izu can sell that share, and it will be given at the Kujin Festival as before." The tail of the fox proprietress drooped, "Sakura Mai, what do you think?"

"I used to be the god of Zero Island, then I was the maiden of Zero Island, and now I am the ninja of Zero Island." Sakura Mai took off her mask and looked back at the god, "Whether it is a god or a person, everything to be done is done." That's all my duty."

The white-clothed ninja jumped onto the roof, and disappeared within a breath.Thinking of his old friend's words, the fox god sighed silently.

"The Wishing Festival is a festival to make wishes come true, Sakura Mai. Your duty has been fulfilled, but what is your wish..."

·
The hour hand pointed to 12, and the superhuman sat back in front of the divination booth.

"Wait a minute, who is the last guest?"

That being said, he already had a hunch about the identity of this guest.Therefore, Gongsun Ce was not so surprised when he saw a piece of gray clothes in the corner of his eye.

But when the gray-clothed man walked out from the alley and revealed his full face, the person with super powers widened his eyes in surprise.The visitor was dressed in gray clothes and a golden crown, which was exactly the same as the clothes of Izu Nouri in the myth, but the face under the golden crown belonged to another person—the "Izu Nomi" walking towards him had the same Same looks as Rina!

throwback?Clone?Qiyao Shinto's secret plan?The psychic thought of countless inferences at once, but Shigure Rei made an incomparably conclusive assertion.

"Did you take possession of this priestess? A majestic god would use such a small trick."

Possession... attached to Rina's body?Gongsun Ce suddenly realized that this is indeed a reasonable explanation, because Rina is a shrine maiden that Izu can sell, and her job is to descend from the gods.Immediately afterwards, he wanted to understand the intention of Lord Shenming's move.

"Don't be so rude, Shigure-san. The reason Izu can sell you is to take care of your feelings, so I use the method of possession."

After all, Shigure Zero doesn't have Nether Eyes.

"Li Nai" sat down at Gongsun Ce's table and stretched out his hand to him.She uses Izumo Rina's voice, but has a completely different tone.

"Give it to me, please."

The superpower was taken aback, remembering something.He took out the beans given by Vagus, and put them lightly in the palm of "Rina".

"Master Fujin is in a difficult situation." His voice was filled with a smile, "Smart human being, you have done too much, that's great. Everything tonight should allow you to have the golden thread for a long time."

Shigure Zero then said: "So the God of Misfortune is going to play tricks, huh? After all, what he likes most is the so-called 'impermanence of fate', and he can't stand being lucky all the time. In the end, this guy couldn't face himself and ended up in person. Just send your wife to smooth things over. Where are the children, it's so funny!"

...Miss Shigure is so aggressive.

The vortex of Zero Island is covering both of you and me. Last night, I just took a look and tossed an intertwined dream. Are you pointing at someone's nose and cursing today because you are afraid that the gods will not cause trouble for you and me!If you want to die, don't take me! !

Gongsun Ce said with a bitter face: "You have a lot of adults who can sell Izu to you. She is still young and ignorant. It's all nonsense..."

Shi Yuling pulled up his collar: "What did you say last night to help me confess my love here today?!"

"I'm protecting you from God's punishment right now, you idiot woman!!"

Izu can sell quietly watching at the table.She has seen all kinds of human beings over the years, but she has never seen a man acting in front of the gods on the spot, she just thinks it is very interesting.

She waited until the two of them had finished arguing, and then said: "What you deserve tonight, I will give it back to you here."

She rolled the beans in her hands, a golden light burst out from the red beans, and she took them all back.Yizu Nengmei put the red beans on the table, then stopped talking and closed his eyes, as if he was about to leave.

But Gongsun Ce still remembered the signs she had followed all the way, and remembered the attention that this lord god had cast since he came to Zero Island.He put away the red beans and asked, "Izu can sell you, do you want me to help you see your wish?"

Izu Nomi smiled with Rina's face.

"If it's not troublesome, please help me take a look."

This is actually quite troublesome.Izumi can use Rina's body to show up, so he can't see through the god's real body with the eyes of the nether world. Now all he can rely on is the clues at hand.Think about things related to Izu Nobuichi. When I first came to Zero Island, I took the initiative to show my favor, and then followed all the way. At the end of the wish festival, Rina played his story. ?
The gray-haired youth said tentatively: "What will happen in this year's God of Disaster Festival...Do you want to stop that?"

The two of them could see clearly that there was indeed a smile of appreciation on the face of "Rina" at this moment.

In the next moment, the little witch's temperament changed, and the person sitting at the table turned back to the familiar Izumo Rina.She opened her eyes in a daze, saw the two people opposite, and jumped up from the chair.

"Huh?! Fa, what happened?!"

The superpower said with a sad face: "Miss Rina, you just fell asleep due to exhaustion after the dance. Everyone wanted to take care of you, but you took out a knot stick and made a big fuss while sleepwalking, but we were very troubled ah……"

"No way?!" Rina screamed, "Impossible, we haven't sleepwalked since we went to middle school!"

"The one who lied to you is that you were actually possessed by Master Izu Nobu."

Rina patted her flat chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"So, it turns out that we were possessed by the gods—what a ghost!!! Don't tell such disrespectful lies to the gods!!"

It's really troublesome in this world if people don't believe it when it's clearly the truth.

Gongsun Ce was thinking about how to tell her about Sakura Wu's identity as a double agent. After telling the story, Rina would have a more interesting reaction.

Now the time has passed 12 o'clock, and a new day is coming in silence.The ghosts and goblins that used to come and go busily passed by, but now none of them can be seen, and only three sleepy people are left walking on the street.It seems that the previous uproar was all an illusion, as if the so-called hidden gods were all ignorant fantasies.

Gongsun Ce touched his glasses, took out the beans, and confirmed the reality of tonight's experience amidst the sense of loss dissipated from the ceremony.They didn't actually go to many booths, and they were busy working in front of the divination booth all night, and they were exhausted.But from another point of view, they also met all kinds of hidden gods on Chikushi Island tonight.

Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers and said, "How about it, Miss Shiyu? As I said, it was a good ceremony, right?"

"I don't want to go to this kind of festival!" Shigure Rei responded viciously.She walked for a while before speaking in a very soft voice.

"...It can be regarded as an unforgettable experience."

Just be happy.

The three returned to the hot spring hotel, and there was no one else on the street.The ceremony of the hidden gods ended in such a peaceful atmosphere.
