Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 163 Disappearing Footprints

This person is very strange. From the beginning of the battle to the present, he has neither directly participated in the battle nor controlled Zongzi.It stands to reason that one person is a group of zongzi, so there is indeed one left among seven people.This person had been at the front of the line before, kind of like a leader.For a while, I felt that this guy was the final boss.

In fact, it seems that I really guessed right, the other party didn't make any movement, just stood there.For a while, I felt like I couldn't start.I could feel that it wasn't an expression of being overwhelmed. On the contrary, he gave me the feeling of being immobile or absolutely confident.No matter what kind of attack I face, he won't be moved.

As my movements stagnated, the feeling became stronger and stronger.In the end, I just didn't take a step, just stood at a distance that I thought was safe and confronted him.Alina also noticed my strangeness, and rushed to my side but also did not step forward.The three of us faced each other like this for a few seconds, and the next moment, a clear voice came from under the hood.

"Hahaha, you will be thankful that you didn't directly attack me."

"Who the hell are you?" I looked at him and said, "I can feel the threat from you that is similar to that of a B-level zongzi. And you are not a zongzi, nor are you a person who practices Sanyang Jue."

"It's rude to compare me to that kind of thing." The other party raised his hand and took off his hat, revealing a young and sunny smiling face.He looks 25, with an indescribable heroism in his eyebrows, but his eyes give people an indescribable feeling.

"The person who killed me is still so rude." There was a playful smile on the young man's face, but I could see from his expression that he even expressed regret for the death of these people.

"I don't see that you see them as your people." I said, and for some reason, the sense of danger became stronger and stronger.The person in front of me was the kind of guy who had no sense of existence just now, but as I confronted him, this sense of danger became stronger and stronger.The same is true for Elina, who clearly had a clear advantage just now, but the other party didn't do anything, which actually made us lose our confidence in fighting.

"That's natural. If you really kill my soldiers, you will definitely die a miserable death." The young man said, "And coincidentally, I don't like them very much."

"Aren't you from the Corpse Sect?" Alina asked.

"Oh, it's really difficult to answer this question." The young man showed a embarrassed expression, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that I am indeed a member of the Corpse Exorcism Sect."

"That's our enemy." I said coldly, although I could feel the danger in the other party, but once I was sure that the other party must be defeated, I didn't take it into consideration.

"That's not necessarily the case. The order I received is to ensure the safe completion of the task. As long as you don't come to interfere with our task, I can do it for you." The young man said, "You are very lucky, the last one has been completed today .Otherwise you would have died just now."

"Who the hell are you!" I asked sharply.

"I'm sorry, my employer is a coward. He allowed me to say this. My task has been completed, and I'm leaving now. Please do as well." The young man turned around and left just like that.I can't understand what he said, what is an employer?Could it be that this guy is a mercenary recruited by the exorcist sect?Whatever it is, since he already knows we're here, there's absolutely no way he'll be allowed to leave.Thinking of this, I took advantage of his turning around and rushed over.

For a moment, I just felt a strong wind whistling in my ears.A silver light flashed in front of my eyes, and the next moment a spear had stopped in front of me.I didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly. This gun foot is two meters long. I don't know where he pulled it out from.

"Don't try to provoke me." The young man said as he swung the tip of the gun, I saw the silver gun turn into a cloud of silver powder and disappear in the wind.For a while, I didn't know what to do, I just watched him disappear into the woods in a daze.At the same time, there was the sound of trees collapsing in the surrounding area. With me as the center of the circle, all the trees with a radius of five or six meters around were broken down the middle.The fracture is as smooth as a mirror, and it is hard to imagine that it was cut by something.

"Zhao Jue, are you alright?" Alina recovered from the shock at this moment, and hurried over and asked concerned.

"I'm fine." I stared blankly at the place where the other party disappeared, "Who is that guy? Is it a human or a zongzi? Is it a new weapon of the Corpse Sect?"

"I don't know, but since the other party didn't target us, let's not make trouble." Alina said.

"Did you see the shot just now?" I recalled the shot from the young man before, and hurriedly asked Alina.

"It was too fast, the gun seemed to appear out of thin air. And the gun can be held up to two meters, how could it cut down the surrounding trees five or six meters away?" Alina said.

"Leave him alone, let's take a look at our captives." I force myself not to think about that young man, there are so many things to do right now.At least I hope to know who that guy is from the captive.

We found some tree vines to tie the two guys up, and knuckle their hands and feet out of place.At the same time, they checked their clothes and mouths, and sure enough, they found suicide drugs inside.After taking it away, pinching the acupoints, the two people woke up.When the two of them just woke up, they tried to bite the potion for suicide, but fortunately, we have already taken it away.The two of them found that they couldn't kill themselves, and looked up at us with resentment at the same time.

"Are you aware of your current situation?" I looked at the two of them and asked, "As a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of a prisoner."

"Hmph, kill me. I won't say anything."

"Damn Tomb Raiders Guild, don't even try to get any information out of me!"

Sure enough, it is a classic line of captives, one by one is the same as the captive Communist Party in the captured anti-Japanese TV series preparing to die generously.

"What should I do? Let's talk after a beating?" I looked at Alina, and to be honest, I'm really not very good at extracting confessions.

"Tie them up first, and hand them over to the guild when the guild's rescue arrives. The guild has plenty of ways to pry their mouths open." Elina thought for a while and said.

"It's really cheap for you guys." I rolled my eyes at them and said, this place is very close to the coast, we took the two of them to the coast, and saw a boat moored in the sea not far away.This is undoubtedly the best news. They can come by boat, which means that we can also leave by boat.It's just that I don't know if the young man who just left is on the ship. It stands to reason that the young man must also leave on that ship.If they meet, I don't know if they will fight.After I discussed it with Alina, I decided to observe it first.We just hid in the woods not far away and watched the ship from afar.I waited until the sun set, but I didn't see the young man come back.

Even if he was hunting in the woods for food, he should be back by this time.Thinking of this, I began to care about the whereabouts of this young man, maybe he was going to do some special mission.If you find him, maybe you can learn more about the purpose of the exorcist sent here.Thinking of this, I said to Alina, "You take them on board and wait, I'll go and see where that guy went before."

"Can it work? That guy is not easy." Alina said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to provoke him." I said, "Put the boat away from the shore first, and be ready to sail at any time. We have already captured two prisoners. I just went to have a look. If it doesn't work, I will withdraw. Come."

Alina seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally nodded.I hurried back to the woods.It is too easy to follow a person in this kind of place, the ground is wet and soft.People walking on it can leave very clear footprints.I found the original place and followed the footprints to find out.The other party didn't have any anti-tracking awareness, and the footprints were well hidden.But I was stunned before I followed for tens of meters, and the footprints stopped abruptly in one place.It's gone there, and I can't find it anyway.

At first I thought he had climbed a tree, but when I looked at the surrounding tree trunks, there were no traces either.This is a hell of a thing, could it be that this guy rose straight from the ground and into the air when he got here?Bring your own helicopter!No wonder I had to take a boat.

I searched around carefully to make sure there were absolutely no traces.From the previous point of view, it can be seen that he has no hidden meaning.But the footprints are indeed gone here.I tried to restore his steps. At the beginning, he walked very ordinaryly, and when he finally came here, the two footprints were side by side.In other words, he came here and stood still.Could it be that there is some secret mechanism here that can't do it?He came here to activate a mechanism, and then entered the secret passage.

Impossible, there are trees all around here, and there is no condition for making a secret passage at all.A few holes were dug around to make sure that there was absolutely no secret passage leading to other places.Could it be that, as I thought, after that guy came here, he rose straight from the ground and soared?That's too nonsense.

I had no choice but to go back as I lost my tracking clues. Let's just think that guy used a special method to erase his footprints.Now we just need to rush back to work with the captives.

As a last resort, I gave up the pursuit and returned to the boat.However, after I got on the boat, I felt something was wrong. It was too quiet on the boat.There's no need for Alina to be so quiet. I couldn't help but quicken my pace and walked towards the cab, and I froze as soon as I entered the cab.Seeing Alina lying motionless on the ground, I hurried over to see what happened to her.At this moment, there was a sharp pain in his neck, as if he had been stung by something.
