Chapter 263 The Walking Dead
What a mess.

The further Eugene's black limousine drove toward City Hall, the more chaos he saw along the way.

Feeling deeply deceived and betrayed, the citizens of Toy City held up wooden signs, banners, family photos and even torches, and shouted slogans such as "We want the truth!" "The City Hall must give us an explanation!" and "Dumbledore come out!" They gathered into a stream and marched towards the City Hall.

Stormtroopers acting as police stood at every intersection, blocking crowds coming from different directions like reefs.

They were ordered not to allow the citizens to go to the city hall and cause more chaos, nor to use violence to escalate the situation.
Therefore, all the stormtroopers only held riot shields and rubber batons, and did not use their usual thermal laser guns.

(Although Stormtroopers don't carry guns, their combat effectiveness is actually improved)

The media reporters who were eager to watch the fun were broadcasting live on the sidelines.
The atmosphere at the scene was like a powder keg, tense and anxious.

This is even when Mayor Dumbledore built the Toy City himself and had a high reputation.

If someone else were the mayor, the excited citizens would not only be shouting in front of the riot shields, but would also be fighting directly with the Stormtroopers, staging a "toy town unlimited fighting for all".

"The road ahead is blocked,"

The driver, Takumi Fujiwara, let go of the accelerator and slowed down. He tapped the car's central control screen a few times and called up the map. "I suggest taking Third Avenue and driving into the parking lot of City Hall from the north. The road there is not completely blocked yet."

Before he finished speaking, Ichigo Kurosaki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly looked gloomy, and regardless of the fact that the car was still moving, he pushed open the door and leaned out of the car. He picked up the Zanpakuto named "Zangetsu" in his right hand and slashed a blade of light towards the coffee shop on the left side of the street.

Crescent Moon Sky Strike,

This skill is just like the Rasengan and Spacium Ray in other literary works. It seems to be a basic move, but in fact it has infinite variations and numerous uses.

Retreating can be used as a basic attack to test the opponent's strength.

It can be developed to the extreme and used as a trump card.

At this moment, the Crescent Moon Sky Strike is a variant of the move. The sword energy transformed by the spiritual pressure condenses into a spiral shape, moving forward at a high speed, shattering the glass of the coffee shop.

A customer who was sitting by the window, holding a newspaper to cover his face, suddenly leaned back and avoided being smashed to pieces by the Crescent Moon Sky Chong. The newspaper in his hand turned into confetti and scattered everywhere.

Boom!

The bar counter that was hit by the aftermath of Crescent Moon Sky Strike exploded on the spot. The loud noise startled the citizens on the other side of the street who were confronting the Storm Troopers, and they squatted on the ground subconsciously.

"Are you still worried about the collateral casualties? If you had used all your strength to unleash a Crescent Sky Strike, I would most likely be dead by now."

Along with a deep and hoarse male voice, a thin figure walked out of the smoke-filled coffee shop.

"Frankenstein?!"

Eugene, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, was surprised that the haggard-looking man in front of him wearing sunglasses was actually the extraordinary person who belonged to the Demon Scientist Alliance Guild.

This person just escaped from the safe house in Toy Town. The detection skill showed that he was still suffering from the severe injury debuff.

How dare he stay in the city center? ! Who gave him the courage?

"You are really brave."

Kurosaki Ichigo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Being caught once is not enough. Don't you think the more dangerous the place, the safer it is?"

"That's not true."

Frankenstein grinned, "The reason I was caught last time was because I was taking chances.

At that time, I didn't put up much resistance. I was thinking about finding an opportunity to join the Toy City. I thought that I could use my status as an outsider to convince you and form an alliance to deal with others together.

What I didn't expect was that Eugene was already yours long before I surrendered.

As a result, my usefulness was greatly reduced, and I was injected with large doses of muscle relaxants and anesthetics, and my spinal nerves were cut. I couldn't even voluntarily leave this world."

Ichigo Kurosaki frowned and asked, "So?"

“You are a senior thug in the city hall and you know some secrets to a certain extent.

For outsiders like me and Eugene, winning this game is like a poor man with nothing in his house suddenly getting a lottery ticket with a one-in-six chance of winning.
As long as you win the lottery, you can get billions in cash, instantly become financially free, and have no worries about food and clothing.

No matter what the cost or risk, I must kill other lottery ticket holders in exchange for that glimmer of hope."

Frankenstein said calmly, "Most of my summons are dead, most of their energy has been consumed, and the corrosion rate is over 50%. It is extremely difficult to defeat other outsiders.

If you want to win, you have to risk everything.”

Ichigo Kurosaki instinctively realized that something was wrong and no longer cared about the collateral damage. He launched another powerful Crescent Moon Sky Strike, risking collapsing the entire building, and crushed towards Frankenstein.

hum!
Frankenstein's figure became blurred, and while avoiding the fatal blow, he approached Eugene at a high speed while holding a bundle of explosives.

Eugene instantly understood what the other party was trying to do. From the perspective of the Toy City, it didn't matter who won the mission. What mattered was that the winner must stand on the side of the Toy City.

If Frankenstein took a huge risk and killed Eugene right here, Ichigo Kurosaki might not necessarily help the latter to take revenge. He would more likely put down his Zanpakutō and negotiate terms directly with Frankenstein.

Now the toy city is in a precarious situation.

Dead people are worthless, even if Eugene is half-apprentice of Dumbledore.

With his hair standing on end, Eugene did not hesitate. He held the magic wand in his right hand and drew three golden arrows from the void with his left hand.

[Item Name: Arrow of Abaris]

[Type: magic props]

[Quality: Epic]

This is the secret treasure that he was determined to steal even if he had to defect from the guild, be hunted by the clock tower, and hide in the shadow world for years, living a life that was neither human nor ghost.

Its prototype comes from the golden arrows given by the sun god Apollo to the devout believer Abaris in Greek mythology. There are seven golden arrows in the whole set, each with different powerful special effects. After using them up, you need to go through a whole script mission to restore them.

The first one is the Mi Nan Law.

A golden arrow in Eugene's hand quietly dissipated, and three nested light circles rose above his head simultaneously, each of which could withstand a fatal attack.

The second one is the Earthbound Decree.

Frankenstein, who had already entered a virtual state, was forcibly slowed down, his figure appeared and disappeared, and he had difficulty moving.

Frankenstein realized something was wrong, and like a sale at a mall, he took out a bunch of props and skill scrolls from the void and smashed them on the ground, trying to break the anti-magic effect.

Unfortunately, mystery becomes subordinate to higher mysteries.

The Arrow of Abaris is an extremely noble epic magic item. Unless a god, demigod, or legendary wizard comes in person, it is impossible to crack it.

The third one is the curse and killing command.

Bloody graffiti appears under Frankenstein's feet, and any physical or magical attacks will cause him multiple damage.

The special effects of the three golden arrows are simple and powerful.
Eugene's eyes were cold, and he swung his wand, releasing a black magic called [Invisible Sharpness].

This evil curse, invented by Severus Snape, will not produce any obvious sound or light effects when it is cast, but will only tear a huge wound out of thin air on the victim.

Compared to Avada Kedavra, it is more covert and efficient.

Combined with the damage bonus effect of the Killing Decree, it is enough to cut a creature as huge as a blue whale into pieces.

Sudden——

The effect of the evil curse of Shenfeng Wuying directly affected Prometheus's whole body.

His eyes were filled with astonishment, his scalp was split open on both sides, his ten fingers were cut into sausage slices, and a large number of scars appeared on his torso and limbs, as if he had been tortured by slow slicing, and he was turned into a bloody flesh man.

The brain and heart, which were the focus of attention, were directly destroyed and crushed into pieces.

[Player Frankenstein has been eliminated]

Eugene breathed a sigh of relief when the system broadcast rang in his ears.

The killing field's system is above all else. If the broadcast says Frankenstein is dead, he is really dead.

It's a pity to waste three golden arrows. The remaining four must be kept to deal with Gou Chen and Ant.
and many more.

Eugene's pupils trembled and he looked around in disbelief.

Apart from him, time stood still.

The fallen leaves froze in the air, and Ichigo Kurosaki still maintained the posture of swinging his sword. The demonstrators, stormtroopers, and journalists on the street were all frozen in place, not moving.

"Hehehe hahahaha."

Ten meters away, the piece of meat that was once Frankenstein laughed joyfully, "Your next sentence is, how is it possible."

"How can it be?!"

Eugene shouted subconsciously, then reacted belatedly, clenched his teeth, and stared at the other person.

The piece of meat squirmed, and a vague green soul emerged from it.

"Eugene, Eugene,"

The soul shook his head and smiled: "You are still too young. You have forgotten an important unspoken rule of the battlefield - when you use your strongest fighting form and the opponent does not run away, it is actually you who should run."

Although he couldn't see the expression clearly, Eugene could still imagine that the other person had a smug smile on his face.

This area is not in the script world, nor is it a subspace or another dimension, but more like a sea of ​​​​consciousness.

All equipment, props, and skills were sealed and returned to their original state.

"You are not Frankenstein, you are Joker. Or, you used to be Joker."

As a former member of the Bell Tower Guild, Eugene had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No wonder the system broadcast of Joker's elimination, the attack on the safe house, and the disappearance of Frankenstein were reported at the same time.

No wonder Frankenstein was so unwise to stay in the city center, even though there were still two competitors, Gou Chen and Xian Xiao, who were also out to kill me.

Joker has some kind of skill similar to leaning over, and after death, he can directly take over the body of the person who killed him. "

Eugene paused, shook his head and denied, "No, it's not unconditional possession, that's too unreasonable, it's not an ability you can master at Lv20.

This skill must have extremely huge limitations, otherwise you can find an opportunity to rush into the Town Hall and let Dumbledore kill you so that you can directly possess him."

"Guessed it right, but it's a pity that there is no prize."

Joker, or rather the being that used to be Joker, hooked the corners of his mouth with two fingers and made an ugly smile, "This skill is called [First Commandment], it is to drag the person who kills me at close range into the sea of ​​consciousness of both parties, so that we can have a fair fight.

Here, there are no supernatural elements, no concept of time, only human thoughts.

Whoever has a more determined self and a stronger will can devour the other and walk out of here."

"You crazy person."

Eugene cursed: "The killing field is above everything else. Even the system broadcast announced that you have been eliminated and died. Do you think you are still alive?
You who have taken over Frankenstein's body are more like a zombie driven by memory fragments than a Joker!"
