I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 136: The Witch and the Snake
Rumble! Under the dark cloudy sky, lightning and thunder suddenly flashed outside the window.

The dazzling electric light penetrated the glass, instantly illuminating the corridor that was originally shrouded in darkness, as if day had arrived.

The light of lightning flickered in the corridor, shining on the man's face, casting a shadow on his face.

Misaka Yana stared at the other person, feeling an indescribable fear in her heart.

She leaned against the corner, her left hand aching slightly from accidentally hitting the wall, and she subconsciously used her right hand to protect her injured arm.

Her legs were in a duck sitting position, and she felt that they had completely lost their strength in the face of the man's pressure.

I felt so weak that I didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone escape from this horrible place.

"Why……"

She murmured softly, the pain in her heart was far more excruciating than the pain in her body.

She stared at the other person intently, and her disappointed eyes had now become dead silent.

The man in front of him seemed to turn a deaf ear to his question and just stared at him greedily without making any response.

In the man's opinion, no matter from the disparity in physical strength or the current state, Misaka Yana is undoubtedly a sure thing!

On the other side, Misaka Yana suddenly raised all the breath in her chest to her throat and screamed hysterically.

"I'm asking you why! How did you become like this? Answer me!"

However, the only response he got was the man's consistent silence and the eagerness in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

Feeling the chill coming from the corner of the wall behind her, Misaka Yana looked at the indifferent man in front of her, and the despair and anger in her heart burst out like a flood.

She roared again and again.

"Answer me! Answer me!"

"Answer me!!!"

With a loud bang, the lightning outside the window once again streaked across the sky, mercilessly shining on Misaka Yana's face.

At this moment, a reflection appeared in the corner of her eyes, and a crystal tear quietly slid down.

Tears continued to drip slowly from her face, and Misaka Yana stared at her father in despair, as if after a hysterical roar, all the life in her body had disappeared.

The following sound became light and faint, mixed with a hint of unspeakable pain, and echoed faintly in the corridor.

"answer me……"

"I don't want to either!"

The man finally responded to Misaka Yana's constant questioning, but his voice was louder than Misaka Yana's, and his tone was full of fierceness.

I don’t know if it was due to my own incompetence or my anger at my daughter’s rebellion against me.

roaring
threatening
Angry
All the emotions finally converged into one sentence. The man stepped on the ground with his slippers, making a "tapping" sound, and stepped forward again.

His eyes became completely fanatical, as if driven by some invisible force.

"It will all be over tomorrow!"

"It will all end! Today is the last night!"

These words seemed to encourage him, making his eyes even more empty and fanatical like a zombie.

He didn't know whether the next words were addressed to himself or to Misaka Yana.

"Just think of it as pitying Dad!"

"On this last night!"

"Yana!!!"

Suddenly, the man pounced towards Misaka Yana like a hungry tiger.

Feeling the gusts of wind coming from in front of her, Misaka Yana instinctively lowered her head and then placed her hand between herself and her father, as if this could separate the two.

Misaka Yana's tears finally slid down to her chin and dripped down with a "plop".

She clenched her teeth, not daring to raise her head, not daring to face what might happen next.

moment!

Misaka Yana lowered her head deeply, and suddenly felt a strong breath whizzing past her head, as if a huge monster passed through her in an instant.

Then, he heard the terrified cry of the man in front of him.

"What the hell is this!"

"Ah!"

There was unspeakable fear in that voice.

Just then, she suddenly heard a dull sound of someone falling in front of her, followed by a loud "bang" that shook the entire corridor.

The sudden sound gave Misaka Yana a sudden boost of courage. She slowly raised her head and looked forward.

In an instant, her eyes widened and her pupils contracted.

What came into view was a huge rock snake with a gray-brown body and a shimenawa rope around its neck.

As a shrine maiden working at a shrine, Misaka Yana naturally would not forget the significance of the Shimenawa rope.

The so-called Shimenawa is a huge hemp rope hung on shrines, torii gates, and sacred trees. It symbolizes the boundary of sacred objects and distinguishes the divine realm from the mortal world.

The shimenawa is generally not allowed to be used casually. In daily life, only during some major festivals in Japan, the host of the shrine or the highest-level sumo wrestlers are qualified to wear it or tie it around the waist.

You should know that this kind of dress is generally used to emphasize the sacred nature of the gods!
And the giant rock snake in front of him actually used the Shimenawa rope as a decoration, tying it around his neck in a dignified manner!
"God..." Misaka Yana muttered to herself.

At this moment, the man was like a rag doll, suddenly attacked by the giant snake and knocked to the ground in an instant.

Then, the giant rock snake twisted its body continuously and coiled around the man.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The man let out a heart-wrenching scream, but under the powerful force of the giant snake, he could only feel his body and internal organs being endlessly squeezed.

He tried desperately to tense his muscles and resist this indestructible rock body that was like a wall, but it was all in vain.

After struggling for a while, the man's strength seemed to be exhausted. He gave up resisting, his arms hung weakly, and his body was instantly lifted up by the giant snake and hung in the air.

At this moment, the breath in his chest had been almost consumed, and his voice became extremely weak.

However, at this moment, the man seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly became as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, staring at Misaka Yana.

Misaka Yana felt the man's gaze and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

The man's voice was weak.

"Yana... it's dad..."

He forced a smile at the corner of his eyes, trying to show his gentleness, but in Misaka Yana's eyes, this gentleness made her feel extremely disgusted and uncomfortable.

Misaka Yana just stared at the other person coldly. She knew that her ability to escape from the predicament depended entirely on this "god" who suddenly appeared.

Naturally, the will of the giant snake takes priority.

However, she found that the rock snake stopped moving and turned its eyes to her.

Is this, listening to my opinion?

Misaka Yana also followed the other person's gaze, and saw the blue magatama that she had picked up before.

"Magatama?"

She reached out her hand, held the magatama, looked at the tears dripping on it, and an idea flashed through her mind.

Could it be that……

Is this giant snake related to this magatama?

At the same time, the man who was tightly bound by the giant rock snake finally realized everything.

He realized that the monster in front of him must be related to his daughter, thinking of his recent predicament.

In an instant, an idea flashed through my mind.

His face changed like a chameleon, instantly changing into a strong, flattering expression.

"Yana... ahem... this guy should be related to you!"

"You are worthy of being my daughter!"

"Dad has a great idea! As long as we use this giant snake, it can definitely help us pay off our gambling debts easily!!!"

"With the money, we can go find your mother!" The man said, and the expression on his face seemed to be coming back to life, his face became rosy and excited again.

"Haven't you always wanted to see your mother? This is such a great opportunity!"

"Don't you want our family to be together again!"

……

"Yana...what's that look in your eyes?"

"I am your father!!!"

Misaka Yana listened to her father's words, but her heart was silent.

Even at this point, he is still considering those selfish thoughts!
She struggled to get up from the ground. The giant snake did not move at all, but just tightly restrained and bound the humanoid creature, as if waiting for Misaka Yana to make a decision.

Then she moved forward shakily, approaching the man.

At this moment, her eyes had gradually turned cold, filled with disappointment and hatred.

On the other side, the man looked at his daughter's cold expression, and it was as if he was doused with cold water, and the passion in his heart disappeared.

He finally realized where his problem lay, and couldn't help but think to himself that something was wrong.

So, he once again tried to transform his expression into one of endless tenderness, trying to save something.

"Yana..."

pat!

However, what responded to him was a loud slap that echoed in the corridor.

Then came Misaka Yana's desperate voice.

"You...are such a scumbag!"

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

When Misaka Yana turned around, the giant snake's body began to shrink continuously, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard under the pressure, like an arthropod being crushed to death.

Misaka Yana closed her eyes tightly, as if she didn't want to hear any sound behind her.

"Yana...Yana..."

As if realizing that he was powerless, the man's voice was like a last glimmer of light.

"You bitch!!!"

"Crack!"

After a moment, there was no response behind him.

She finally mustered up the courage to turn around, and as expected, what she saw was her father who had completely stopped moving, and the giant rock snake that continued to stare at her.

Plop.

Misaka Yana was sitting on the ground in an instant according to the shrine maiden etiquette taught in the shrine.

She faced the direction of the giant snake, stretched her hands forward naturally, slowly lowered her head, and made a standard kneeling gesture.

It is not known whether this action was a tribute to the giant rock snake or a farewell to the humanoid creature squeezed by the snake's tail.

Dongdong, the clock keeps ticking.

After a moment, Misaka Yana stared at the body that had leaked out of the snake body in front of her.

trouble!

It was not until now that she realized that after the man's death, it would be difficult for her to bury him without anyone noticing due to her weakness.

The burial process is likely to attract neighbors.

Although she knew that she was clearly the victim, she would never be able to clear herself of suspicion if she was discovered by the outside world.

Gurgling.

Suddenly, the giant rock snake in front of him seemed to have noticed Misaka Yana's thoughts.

It crouched low and swallowed the man's body in one gulp.

Then, under Misaka Yana's gaze, the body of the rock snake began to move towards the ground.

She thought there would be a loud noise when the two touched, but the ground was like a swamp.

Immediately afterwards, the entire body of the rock snake sank completely into the ground without any splash, as if it had never existed.

Misaka Yana stared at the scene in a daze, with an indescribable complex emotion surging in her heart.

Involuntarily she moved forward, leaned down, and reached out to touch the ground.

However, completely different from what she had imagined, the ground seemed to have not changed at all and was still as solid as before, a complete floor.

Misaka Yana hurriedly covered her lips with her hands, covering her rosy little mouth tightly to hide her inner turmoil.

"Disappeared?"

At this time she also understood how the giant rock snake appeared.

Emerging from the wall?

Having said that, Misaka Yana seemed to have noticed something. She held the magatama in her arms tightly, holding it tightly, not daring to let go easily.

She whispered.

"Is it really because of this?"

……

"Ding Ding Ding!"

When I was a student, the melody of the school bell was particularly pleasant to everyone's ears. Even students who were in a bad mood could find their mood relieved by this music.

In the classroom, Misaka Yana was about to pick up her schoolbag when a girl's voice came from beside her.

"Misaka-san! After school today, you..."

Hearing this voice, Misaka Yana couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Because the distance between people can always be shortened so easily.

Because of this, she is always reluctant to have too much contact with people.

After all, as long as she can remain as calm as usual, her study and life will be easier.

"No need, I have something else to do today!"

Misaka Yana declined.

In fact, she really wanted to go to the shrine as soon as possible to investigate the matter of the magatama. In addition, if the magatama really belonged to the shrine, she must return it as soon as possible.

But last night, because she was too tired, she fell asleep directly after cleaning up the various debris and battle effects at the scene.

Today, she must conduct a thorough search of the house to avoid leaving any clues before the man's disappearance is discovered.

Looking at Misaka Yana's departing back, the girl murmured to herself.

"Misaka-san looks very tired..."

……

Ding Dong!

"I am back."

Although no one at home responded, this sentence came out of Misaka Yana's mouth naturally as if it were a routine. She had long been accustomed to such a daily routine.

However, the moment she stepped into the house and put down her schoolbag, her eyes widened instantly when she looked at the door, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

She clearly remembered that because she got up too late this morning, she did not close the bedroom door tightly when she left the room in a hurry.

A small gap was left.

But at this moment, the door was completely closed? !

This discovery made Misaka Yana's heart start beating faster, and she subconsciously placed her hand on the magatama in her arms.

Someone's coming into the house!
