First, it is possible that Kaguya Shinomiya anticipated the outcome of the negotiations and deliberately targeted her, but this possibility is not high because even if she was caught, the subsequent plans could not be completely thwarted.

The second is that Kaguya Shinomiya has already guessed or somehow learned most of their plans, and is trying to catch them all in one fell swoop.

If Kaguya Shinomiya really knew their plan in advance, why didn't she mobilize all her staff to wipe them out at once from the very beginning, but waited until now?

This can only mean that Kaguya Shinomiya did not have the conditions at the time, but she was very sure of one thing, that is, they would definitely find a chance to rescue Albert, which means they must enter the top floor of the Shinomiya Building. This is why she did not leave the top floor for a moment in the past few days.

Because Kaguya Shinomiya is forcing them to come over and fall into her trap. This is an open conspiracy. No matter how ingenious Lucy's plan is, Kaguya Shinomiya can counter it or even use her own tricks against her.

After all, there is a huge gap in manpower and material resources between the two sides. Perhaps Lucy's plan can work for a while, but as long as Kaguya Shinomiya reacts, no matter what plan it is, it will be like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. It is time to compete with hard power.

This is also what Lucy is most worried about. From the very beginning, if they want to win, they must race against time and rescue Albert quickly.

but now……

Lucy glanced at the time and it was already midnight.

The street she was in at this moment was as quiet as a ghost town, and even the temperature was slightly lower than usual. It was a familiar feeling. She had experienced it before when she was robbing tombs, when Shinomiya Kaguya resurrected Shuten Douji, and when the One Hundred Demons Night Parade took place at the signal base station.

A thick fog suddenly began to gather from all directions, and Lucy ran towards a nearby construction site without thinking.

Re-entering the construction site, Lucy took the construction elevator outside the building and climbed up to the high building.

Looking down at the entire area from the air, a large amount of fog could be seen flowing between the buildings. For a moment, Lucy had the illusion that the city was flooded.

"Damn, what is that?"

In the pale ghost fog, Lucy could clearly see a blood-red existence rushing towards her.

Obviously, it was directed at Lucy herself.

On the top floor of Shinomiya Building, in Shinomiya Kaguya's private office

Hearing the faint vibration coming from below, Kaguya Shinomiya smiled slightly, moved the chess piece in her hand forward, and ate one of Albert's chess pieces.

"Don't be distracted when playing chess~"

"Compared to these, you should be worrying about your own chess pieces now."

"Of course, if you are willing to be my thing now, then I can let them go."

Shinomiya Kaguya gave a meaningful smile.

"Well, I'm not really worried."

Albert looked restrained and lazy, playing casually with the chess piece in his hand.

"Because chess pieces are just chess pieces after all. They have no self-awareness and are nothing more than puppets in my hands."

"But they act completely based on their own self-awareness. Therefore, even as a chess player, I cannot be completely sure of how they will act."

"Too much deduction will not only fail to achieve your goal, but will also lead to unexpected results."

After listening to Albert's words carefully, Kaguya Shinomiya's expression changed slightly, and the look she gave the other party became more and more interested and... obsessed.

That's right, although she has been with Albert all day these days, even so, Kaguya Shinomiya has not felt the slightest bit bored with this flawless and beautiful boy in front of her. On the contrary, the more she communicates with him, the more curious she becomes about him.

She could feel the unique charm exuded by Albert, which was like a magnet that deeply attracted her heart (in every sense).

Chapter 66: The Thorns Collapse

At this time, the 24th floor of the Sigong Building had turned into an inhuman battlefield. Almost all the glass walls were shattered into debris, and the tables, chairs and equipment were completely scrapped. Fortunately, the mask of the office area was large enough, and there were usually nearly a hundred employees in it, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the fight between the two.

The strength and speed of the ghost warrior who mutates into a demon are greatly enhanced. At the same time, his attacks are extremely violent and he is not afraid of any pain at all.

In terms of current physical fitness, even as a cyborg, Yoel cannot confront the Onimusha head-on.

Moreover, the ghost warrior has a very strong self-healing ability, which makes Yoel completely give up the strategy of exchanging injuries to wear down the opponent. Now he needs some more flexible and deadly tactics.

(Since ordinary humans in this world are at the same level as ordinary humans in the real world, but the physical fitness shown by Joel in the original work is far beyond the level of humans, she was given the identity of a cyborg, otherwise it would not make sense logically)

Yoel held the needle in both hands and quickly crossed it in front of him to meet the attack of the ghost warrior. Sparks flew in the confrontation between the claws and the sharp blade.

Due to the recoil of the force, both sides took a few steps back. The moment he touched the ground, Yoel took the initiative to change the direction of the force, turning sideways towards the ghost warrior, and at the same time mobilized his muscles to transform himself into a sprint action ready to go.

The complex technique was completed in an instant like flowing water. At the same time, Joel pressed the device on her waist. The moment she stepped on the ground, a light red shock wave spurted out from the leg armor, allowing her to accelerate in an instant and rush towards the Onimusha like a supersonic cannonball.

The auxiliary system of the mask also locked onto the ugly demon head of the Onimusha in advance, and the edge of the needles emitted high-temperature electric sparks at the moment of the slash.

"cut!"

The ice-blue electric current cut through the dark red light curtain and slashed towards the target's more vulnerable neck at an extremely high speed.

"rest in peace."

At this moment, Joel had already thought of a eulogy for this unrecognizable old friend.

But the next moment, the sound of violent metal collision interrupted her thoughts, and a cold breath infected the impact cyclone and even penetrated into Yoel's skin.

"Woo!!!"

It was teeth. Light blue blood splashed onto Yoel along with the broken sharp teeth.

The ghost warrior actually bit down on Yoel's cutting needle with his mouth just before the hit. The hard ghost fangs acted as an obstacle to the cutting, so that the needle only tore most of its face and failed to cut it in half.

"what!"

Before he could be surprised, Yoel saw the sharp claws attacking his abdomen, with strong murderous intent and resentment, as if the countless faces she had killed in the past were staring at her fiercely.

The needle was stuck in the flesh of the Onimushi. The only reaction Joel could make was to escape and give up the needle. Her survival instinct in battle made her put it into practice without hesitation.

But it was still not fast enough, because the Onimusha was too fast, and the distance between the two sides was already very close.

The sharp claws easily cut and tore apart the nano combat suit on the right side of Yoel's waist. Even though her dodging action prevented her from being stabbed through, she was still seriously injured.

At the same time, the terrifying power of the ghost warrior made Yoel fly backwards after being hit, and blood splattered in the air, but fortunately, his internal organs were not affected and flowed out.

Climbing up from the mess on the ground, covering the wound on his waist with his hands, Joel gasped for breath under the mask. The situation was now even more unfavorable for her, because the massive blood loss would lead to a series of serious consequences.

"Whoosh!"

The ghost warrior pulled out the needle embedded in his face, and then threw it towards Yoel with a roar.

“There’s no way to catch it.”

As a user, Joel naturally knew how sharp the cutting needles were, so she had no intention of catching them with her hands and could only move her body to avoid them.

The needle pierced through the air around Yoel, breaking through the window and flying out of the building.

With the loss of a weapon, the balance of victory seemed to tilt towards the Onimusha.

But the ghost warrior, who had already lost all his sanity, obviously would not think about these things. Seeing that his throwing attack failed, he immediately roared and continued to rush towards Yoel.

Faced with this situation, Joel naturally had no choice but to face the challenge.

She locked onto the Onimusha's massive body, gripped the cutting spikes tightly in her hand and pressed them to her waist, using her free fingers to tap the buttons on her belt.

In an instant, both leg armors and another arm armor were lit up, and the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters.

"boom!"

The huge force of the shock wave caused the floor to collapse, and Joel's body accelerated instantly, but she ignored the secondary burst of her wound and forced herself to lower her body.

"boom!"

With the second kick, Joel's instantaneous speed was unprecedentedly fast, far exceeding the limit of the ghost warrior's reaction. Even Joel's vision began to blur. At the same time, the strong pressure caused her tough body to bleed, not to mention the wound on her waist.

In the blink of an eye, Joel had reached the Oni Warrior's chest. Her body had already made the punching movement in advance, otherwise she might not be able to punch out when she hit the Oni Warrior.

“Bang!!!———”

There was a dull thud, and the explosive force of the air shattered all the remaining glass on the entire floor the moment it came into contact.

A beautiful straight punch penetrated the Onimusha's whole body with such force that his bones and internal organs were instantly shattered.

Then the remaining force carried the deformed body like a meteor and flew out of the building from the office area on the 24th floor.

I wonder if people in Tokyo will make a wish when they see this?

Joel didn't have time to care about these things, because the previous attack had come at a price. The armor on her arm had been completely shattered, and her entire arm was a bloody comminuted fracture. Now she was completely unable to move, and apart from the constant severe pain, she could not feel anything else.

At the same time, she had fractures of varying degrees all over her body, and her waist had just collapsed. Now Joel's condition was such that she needed to be admitted to the ICU at any minute.

With her strong will supporting her scarred body, Joel walked towards the safe passage without hesitation. Now she needed to hold on to the handrail just to climb the stairs.

"Ahem! Albert... Anya..."

Due to excessive blood loss, his consciousness became blurred. At this time, a young girl's voice came from the stairwell.

"Are you...Yor?"

"You are amazing. You can even... "

"Ah, sorry, now is not the time to talk about this. Fortunately, I brought some healing supplies, otherwise..."

The pink-haired girl who she had only seen in Lucy's information appeared in front of her. Joel's tense nerves relaxed a lot. As a result, she instantly lost all her strength and even dropped the needle to the ground.

The person who came was Fujiwara Chika, who was carrying a small box on her waist. She hurried over to support Yoel.

"Quick, give me...treatment."

Yoel took off his mask breathlessly and pointed to the bleeding wound on his waist with his remaining strength.

"Okay, okay, right now!"

Chapter 67: Ice Butterfly Bathed in Fire

In the construction site building, Lucy stood on the open space on the top floor, ready for battle. Although she didn't understand how the enemy tracked her down, she knew one thing: as long as the tracker died, she would naturally be able to get rid of the track.

Of course, this can also help destroy the enemy's manpower and increase the success rate of the plan.

But the real question is, can Lucy take on that enemy?

Regarding the impending attack, Lucy concluded that it was a very dangerous possibility based on the other party's ability to travel through psychic mist, but even so, as long as that thing was there, she still believed that she had a chance to achieve the final victory.

In addition, the psychic mist has surrounded this place, making it impossible for the enemy to escape.

To sum up, Lucy chose to fight instead of continuing to run away.

"Come on, come on, come on..."

Lucy gently tapped her knuckles on the brick wall, her other hand on her waist, getting closer and closer.

By hacking into the simple anti-theft device in the building, Lucy learned that the thing had just entered the construction site building, and she was prepared.

The opponent's speed is terrifyingly fast. His current normal state alone is comparable to a military-grade explosive acceleration prosthesis.

"The body is extremely strong and the explosive power is particularly strong."

“It was only observed visually at the time, and the real data still needs to be tested.”

"Hopefully this will hurt it."

Sensing that the anti-theft device had been triggered, Lucy turned on the switch without hesitation.

"Boom! boom! boom! boom!"

Four crisp explosions were heard from below, and then the building began to tilt and sink amidst the violent shaking. Lucy used the remaining explosives on the construction site to destroy the main load-bearing structure of the building from the middle.

"I hope the Shinomiya Foundation will pay for this."

On the top floor of the building that was gradually captured by gravity, Lucy jumped up and took out a grappling gun that she had prepared in the preparation stage in the air.

Although it's impossible to fly in the air with this thing like in the comics, after careful calculation, it is still possible to hook onto another nearby building in time to allow Lucy to swing over urgently.

The cold wind brushed across her cheeks, and behind her was a cloud of dust caused by the collapse of the building. Thanks to the slow progress of the building's construction, Lucy did not need to try to break the high-altitude glass. She simply let go of the grappling gun, rolled over to unload the force, and threw herself into the building.

Looking at the spectacular sight of the building collapse, Lucy silently calculated what to do next.

"Sure enough, this still can't stop it."

A flash of blood flashed in the dust and fog in the distance, and then there was the sound of crumbling bricks and stones. A figure actually broke out from the buried stones and soil and leaped towards the building where Lucy was.

At this time, the floor she was on had already been lowered. In addition, the other party was already on the middle floor of another building, and the vertical height was only six or seven meters at most. It should not be difficult to come up quickly.

Although the opponent might not be able to jump up directly, in order to prevent this possibility from happening, Lucy turned around and ran to create some distance.

"Kakakaka!"

Sure enough, there was a shaking sound coming from the construction supports outside the building, and Lucy had reached the edge of the other side of this floor, where there was a mechanical elevator she had prepared in advance.

Finally, a tall female figure climbed up from the support. Her long, fiery red hair looked like burning fire in the dark night. She had sharp horns and a fang mask covering her mouth. She was none other than Shuten-doji, the King of Demons, who was resurrected by Kaguya Shinomiya in a can.

The other person's bloodshot eyes were always fixed on Lucy, just like the look of a hunter hunting prey. She looked at Lucy as if she was looking at a dying person.
