Tokyo: The Player Behind the Scenes.

Chapter 189, Section 187: My Glory is One Heart

A glint of cold light severed the tendon tissue blocking the way.

The severed flesh and tissue receded in patches, revealing a doorway that could still be vaguely discerned.

Yaoqie drew a diagonal cross, and the door shattered a second later, revealing the scene inside: some kind of gigantic human tissue, silently writhing, like a deformed gallbladder or a blue-green jelly.

Following the sound of her heartbeat, she had opened many such doors, but gained nothing.

It's not just a meaningless mass of flesh and blood; it's a mutated organ.

With a sharp look in her eyes, and a flash of white light from the demonic blade, she finished swinging her sword, emerged from the room, and hid to the side.

Plop!

A sound like farting followed, and a large amount of pale blue liquid gushed out from the doorway.

Holding her breath, she reassessed her current situation.

The passage behind her was now blocked by layers of white bones, with thick blood vessels and muscles connecting to form a barrier around her, squeezing her space.

But it didn't completely block her passages. Instead, it was like a living maze. When one passage was blocked, other dark, fleshy passages would inevitably appear.

The sound of a heartbeat echoed through the flesh-and-blood corridor, as if every space was the source of the sound, making it difficult to distinguish.

“These things are trying to drain my life force.”

She could feel her life force being drained, but at that moment, the player information number in her palm, visible only to other players, emitted a scorching glow, directly shielding her from this presumptuous operation.

It's as if it's declaring that only nature and the game have the right to take away a player's vitality.

Perhaps it is because of this inability to "digest" that these flesh and blood resort to delaying and attrition tactics against her.

The goal, of course, was to prevent her from reaching the "Heart of Endurance," and to make her lose her way and become powerless within this labyrinth of her body.

Players have tried to explore the abilities of the Heart of Patience in the game, but without success.

All that is known is that there were three Hearts of Ninja that were corrupted, and all of them were sealed in the cemetery by Fa Cheng.

In reality, Nobita said that he had heard the term "Heart of Withering and Flourishing" from a monster.

And the saying, "The longer it withers, the stronger it flourishes."

Clearly, this refers to the fact that the longer this spirit of forbearance remains dormant, the more devastating its outburst will be.

It has withstood hundreds of years of sealing, and today it will finally enjoy its glory.

The solution is clear: eliminate that revived ninja heart.

According to the game's information, the Heart of Ninja communicates with nature. After being corrupted by the demon sword, it could only be eradicated through a long period of sealing. Now it has broken free of the seal and revived, but it is unknown whether their methods can eliminate it.

As for any kind of seal, they have absolutely no corresponding ability.

Moreover, before the appearance of the demon sword, the Nichiren sect thought the legend of Hosei was nonsense. Even if there were records, apart from Honmyoji Temple, only Kuonji Temple and Honmonji Temple had studied it to some extent.

Even after the demon sword appeared, the authorities, as if they had discovered some great treasure, collaborated with several Nichiren sect masters to study all the remaining texts, only to be greatly disappointed in the end.

Even if the scriptures inside are truly capable of cultivation, all these so-called masters combined are still no match for Riyan and his disciple Richeng!

Bullshit master!

So in this situation, players can only try to find a solution or pray that someone will be available to eliminate Zhu Hai, just like they did with Zhu Hai.

[Zheng: What's the situation outside right now?]

Although her communication with the official channels was cut off, private messages between players could not be stopped.

[Zhi: Do you watch anime?]

[Zheng: I don't watch it much.]

[Zhi: If you've read "The Retreat of the Dwarfs," you can immediately imagine the situation Kyoto is facing right now. The silhouette of a giant hundreds of meters tall has already appeared. The difference is, we don't have Wall Maria.]

Kyoto has very few high-rise buildings due to historical preservation and earthquake considerations, but in recent years, with technological advancements, skyscrapers have gradually begun to appear.

The Nishiki Hotel headquarters of the Eagle Group is the tallest of them all.

The result is that a purely enormous monster has been created.

Nobita stood on the roof of a nearby building, but even so, he was still not up to the knees of that terrifying giant.

The giant's face and limbs have now taken shape, and it is indeed Takatsuki Tetsujin himself, but his eyes are dull and lifeless, as if he has not yet taken control of this body.

Multiple missiles struck the giant's body in turn, but it was quickly repaired, and when the smoke cleared, there was no visible damage.

The latest bombing squadron has set off, equipped with sub-nuclear weapons recently transferred from Aramco, and is ready for deployment.

In addition, the electromagnetic railgun, still in the experimental stage, is being adjusted and will take approximately ten more minutes to complete deployment. Japan has now become an open-air testing ground for all sorts of weapons, and not only is it powerless to resist, it has to welcome them with open arms.

The giant's body moved slowly, its expressionless head twisting awkwardly, and large swathes of building debris scattered.

Any one of these debris pieces could crush a car.

The newly activated supernatural alert has been sounded throughout Kyoto. The mournful wailing sound pierces the sky, and the giant that can be seen from almost the entire city creates an oppressive atmosphere that makes it hard to breathe.

"Can I even cut this thing?"

Nobita looked at the cards in his hand and realized that only the Allies of Justice might be of some use.

"Or perhaps we could follow Muramasa Taki's example and enter the body of a Titan?"

As Nobita pondered his strategy, Renault, clad in crimson and black armor, flew over from behind, landing with a roll to dissipate the force and arriving beside Nobita.

The two figures, one in white and one in red, stood out in the sunlight, like a knight and a warrior, immediately attracting the attention of the helicopter camera that was risking its life to broadcast live from not far away.

"Zoom in! Zoom in! Okay, lock onto them, viewers. We can see that the Silver Knight and the Crimson Warrior have appeared side by side! Are they friends? Or are they heroes who have chosen to join forces in the face of danger?! Could they be our hope in the fight against this terrifying giant monster? Kyoto Broadcasting will continue to broadcast live for you—"

The reporter shouted at the top of his lungs, fully arousing his emotions.

"Knight Guild Master, do you have any battle plans?" Renault glanced at the helicopter and then ignored it, marveling at the size of the giant with a suppressed burning desire in his eyes.

He could sense that the giant possessed "essence blood" within him that could allow him to break through the limits of his blood energy.

If we have to say who benefits from today's chaos, Renault is definitely one of them.

The greater the chaos, the greater his chance of obtaining Nobi and Muramasa's extraordinary blood.

Even if we settle for second best and play it safe, we might still be able to take the opportunity to obtain the giant's blood essence and achieve our first breakthrough in blood energy limits.

As for failing and not being able to win, can't he just run away? He doesn't have any superhero baggage. Everything he does is for profit. When danger threatens his life, even if he chooses to leave, Nobi and the others can't say anything afterward. At most, it will lower their trust level.

However, if one could seize the opportunity to obtain three waves of blood at once, enough to break through the blood energy limit.
Renault easily suppressed his greed, his reason prevailing throughout.

It is not yet clear whether there is a digestion period for absorbing essence and blood to break through the blood energy limit, and whether it is impossible to break through multiple times directly.

If that's the case, turning against the mutual aid association now would not be a wise choice, as subsequent actions would be much more difficult, and all the previous efforts would be wasted.

"The heartbeat. The giant's weakness lies in the Heart of Suppression. The bombing from the outside is unlikely to expose that heart, so our best chance of success is to enter it and destroy the Heart of Suppression."

Nobi pointed to the hotel's ground floor, which was still barely discernible; he planned to break in from there.

Renault nodded: "But we can't be left unattended outside, right?"

“That’s right. Muramasa and I both need you to observe the situation outside, Mori. If things go wrong, don’t worry about us.” Nobi had no intention of letting Lareno go in. Firstly, it was too dangerous, and secondly, Muramasa Taki’s experience showed that once inside, communication with the outside world would be cut off, leaving only private messages between players for communication.

Uesugi and Oshima could naturally relay the situation through the news, but such relaying could be cut off at any time, so it was better to leave one person outside.

At the scene, there was no other choice but Renault.

"I understand. Stay in touch, and be careful, Knight."

Renault said solemnly, his previous performance lacking in dynamism, which inexplicably gave Nobi a sense of trustworthiness and reliability.

This is also a kind of contrast that Renault portrays.

Patting Renault on the shoulder, Nobita looked up at the giant who had already begun to raise his hands. Without wasting any time, he leaped between buildings, approaching the hotel entrance a hundred meters away.

high altitude.

The giant's eyes slowly regained some luster from their emptiness, along with that deep-rooted, corrupted intent to kill.

"All things wither, but my heart flourishes!"

A muffled voice came out, and the giant stretched out his hand, raising it high towards the sky.

Then, raindrops seeped from the ground, light flowed out, and then, surprisingly, they reversed direction and returned to the sky.

In this process of return, plants are rapidly withering and turning yellow, and the people who are still stationed and have not completely evacuated are aging quickly, with young people becoming middle-aged and middle-aged people becoming elderly.

The old man from the fire brigade was lying half-dead, barely breathing, but not yet dead.

Conversely, the giant Takaji's face quickly became younger, returning to his most spirited age.

Turning his head, his gaze, filled with insane killing intent, met the camera of the live-streaming helicopter.

The moment of silence fell over countless viewers watching the live stream, their hearts skipping a beat.

　In reality, there are no buildings in Kyoto that are over 100 meters tall; most buildings are kept under 50 meters.
