Chika Fujiwara also stood obediently beside Hayasaka Ai and watched Joel leave. Hayasaka Ai did not stop him.

Joel clenched the remaining cutting needle, ready to face the final challenge.

As she approached the gate, several scanning beams shot out from the wall, collecting and retaining Joel's data.

Then the door slowly opened and Joel walked in.

First, there is a short entrance hall with wooden reliefs installed on the walls on both sides of the entrance hall. The door at the end is a completely manual Japanese sliding door, which also has reliefs installed on it.

The relief pictures are Ukiyo-e style scenes of mountains and seas, flowers, birds, fish and insects, but there are no humans.

Pushing the embossed wooden door with one hand, Yoel entered the spacious office.

"Eh!!!!"

The scene he saw did not give Yoel any time to prepare, "You you you you you..."

"Woo~"

Kaguya Shinomiya took the initiative to separate from Albert, turned her head and looked at Yoel, who had just stepped halfway in, with some surprise.

I saw that Kaguya Shinomiya had a rosy complexion with a streak of silver hanging from the corner of her mouth, and her loose kimono was worn casually and in a disheveled manner.

Joel is completely settled in Bengbu!

I went through so much trouble to get here just to see this? ! ! ! ! !

Shouldn't the protagonist of this matter be myself who saved Albert?

A strange thought seemed to pass through Joel's already confused mind.

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and used the tip of her tongue to hook the silver thread into her mouth.

"I didn't expect that the little gift I gave away would return to its former owner. Is it trying to take the current owner away from the old owner?"

"Little... Shinomiya Kaguya, you you you don't... I didn't expect you to be such an ignorant person... Pfft!"

The violent impact made Yoel stutter. Adding to his injuries, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood. His body, which had been supporting itself, suddenly lost its strength and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that Joel was so angry that he vomited blood, Albert knew that he could no longer allow Kaguya Shinomiya to continue to act recklessly.

He pushed Kaguya Shinomiya away, stood up and walked in front of Yoel.

Shinomiya Kaguya did not stop it at all, but just smiled and enjoyed the scene in front of her.

"Joel, thank you for your hard work."

"Monsieur Albert..."

When Joel saw Albert holding her in his arms, she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although this guy had just made her so angry that she vomited blood, she did not blame Albert.

Although the other party was suspected of being a scumbag who was having an affair with the enemy boss while his subordinates were fighting for their lives outside, he was his benefactor after all, and at a time when the enemy was at the doorstep, it would be suicidal to engage in internal strife.

So Joel made up his mind that he would try his best to help Albert correct this bad behavior after returning, and by the way, let himself... cough cough cough...

While Yoel was daydreaming, Albert gently stroked his injured waist and used his ability to manipulate matter to heal the wound in order to reduce bleeding and speed up recovery.

"It should be better, Joel."

Although it was unclear what Albert had done, Joel did feel that the pain from the wound on his waist had eased a lot.

"Thank you very much, Monsieur Albert."

Yoel hurriedly tried to get up, "Let me protect you now."

“Oh, it’s just a tool that you can use whenever you want. Why do you need to do such a thing yourself, Albert?”

When Kaguya Shinomiya's voice came, Yoel could clearly feel that the air around him had become several degrees colder.

"Mr. Albert, be careful, Kaguya Shinomiya is not an ordinary person..."

There was no place for Joel in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes. She was staring at Albert behind him.

"You should enjoy even the smallest things, Miss Shinomiya."

Albert gently pushed away Yoel who was protecting him, walked to the front of the stage, and faced Kaguya Shinomiya, just like the first time they met.

"is it?"

"hehe."

Shinomiya Kaguya took out the fan with the word "moon" written on it from her sleeve.

"If you voluntarily stay here, I will consider letting them go, and I will also forgive them for what happened tonight."

Shinomiya Kaguya opened the fan, and there seemed to be a white light flowing on the word "moon".

"Or, if I force them to stay, of course, they will all die as punishment."

She looked like she had turned her back on someone and was completely different from the gentle and affectionate person she was before. At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya had returned to being the terrifying leader of the Shinomiya Group.

“Tell me, then, what is your choice, Albert?”

Yoel had never seen eyes like Shinomiya Kaguya's before, they were extremely sharp and majestic, as awe-inspiring as a god looking down on the world.

Even she, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but feel her body and mind trembling, "This is impossible, I would actually be afraid of fighting?..."

Even when facing the Onimusha who had previously posed a life-and-death threat to her, Joel only felt a sense of crisis as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

Kaguya Shinomiya, who did not pose any threat in front of him, made it impossible for Yoel to even muster the will to fight.

The long-lost fear completely enveloped Yoel like a spider web. Even Kaguya Shinomiya’s target was not her at all. This was just a small part of her momentum.

However, Albert, who was Kaguya Shinomiya's real target, had no effect at all.

"As expected, you are not an ordinary person. Miss Shinomiya's statement at the banquet that she was sacrificed as a miko to the gods should not have failed."

"Yes, you should have guessed it."

"The sacrifice did not fail, but those old guys did not succeed either, because the power of God was not taken by them as in the past, but they used the witch as a host."

"That's probably why those people didn't hinder your future actions to control the Shinomiya Group."

"If they dare, they will die."

Shinomiya Kaguya smiled disdainfully.

"So Albert, facing a god, what choice will you make?"

As the words fell, the viewing glass wall surrounding the entire office suddenly collapsed, all electronic equipment failed, and the night wind rushed in with a howl.

At this moment, I don’t know if it is an illusion or reality, the bright moon hanging in the sky is so close, and the cold moonlight it sheds completely replaces the modern lights.

Chapter 70 Sword of Damocles

The bright moonlight was filled with a chill that chilled one to the bone, and combined with the oppressive force emanating from Kaguya Shinomiya, Yoel's body could not help but tremble.

"Is that so?"

Albert couldn't help but be very interested in the so-called divine power in Kaguya Shinomiya's body. To him, it was delicious food.

"Well, in that case, I've changed my mind."

Albert smiled and said to Joel, "Joel, you go out first, and I will talk to Miss Shinomiya in person later."

"Mr. Albert..."

Joel was a little hesitant. She really couldn't bear to hand Albert over to the evil woman Kaguya Shinomiya.

"I didn't expect that we won't continue playing around this time. As Ms. Shinomiya said, it's time to make a choice."

"So no matter what choice I make, I hope you can support me."

Seeing Albert's insistent look, Joel finally agreed. Without saying anything else, he turned around and limped out of the room.

Joel didn't dare to look back, she was afraid that if she looked back once, she would not be able to make up her mind to leave.

"The troublemakers have all left, and now there are only two of us left. Albert, tell me your choice."

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression remained unchanged, and she mercifully treated the previous interaction as their final farewell.

"Albert will be mine..."

The cold wind blew across Albert's pale golden kimono, lifting his waist-length blond hair.

"I choose to watch the fireworks with you, how about that?"

"what?!"

Seeing Albert's smile as warm as the spring breeze, Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.

"Haha, I see. Do you want to watch the fireworks?"

"Well, I did promise you..."

Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her brows and sighed, put the fan in front of her, and reached out to the word "moon" on the fan with her other hand.

The bright moonlight rises from the "moon", between illusion and reality, Kaguya Shinomiya seems to have grasped something.

A sword, or rather a Japanese sword, made of pale moonlight energy, was slowly pulled out from the fan by Kaguya Shinomiya.

It is a divine sword without a guard. Countless moon crystals are sparkling on the blade, like crystal clear moon crystals.

Shinomiya Kaguya threw the fan to the ground, ignoring the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and just looked at Albert coldly.

"It seems like we have to do it anyway?"

Albert naturally didn't waste any words. Since Tomie had a sudden idea due to her mysophobia last time, he had carefully considered it during this period and had a new prototype. He might as well take this opportunity to experiment with it.

Albert cut off a lock of hair from his temples, and made a cut on his palm with his fingernails. Bright red blood flowed out and mixed with the golden hair.

His eyes turned black and gold, and the structure of matter changed in Albert's hands.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at everything in front of her thoughtfully.

"Sure enough, you are different. We are so similar..."

"I want you now more than ever, and if I have you, you will be mine, Albert, you must be mine!"

A platinum dagger with a metallic luster appeared in Albert's hand.

"It's not enough, what's missing?"

"There is."

Albert was seen holding something in his other hand and thrusting it into the dagger.

In an instant, an unknown inscription was engraved on the dagger.

What has just been inserted is a part of Albert's self, or his psychological image, a materialization of thinking - self-examination.

Since Albert is a high-dimensional being independent of the world, even his thoughts can be materialized into reality.

Of course, this reality is not the reality in the current world, but the reality with Albert as the main body. For this world, it is an invisible and intangible existence that only Albert can touch and it will only affect Albert.

The dagger made mainly of Albert's blood and hair can be considered an extension of Albert's body, so it can also be combined with the dagger.

Albert named the dagger the Sword of Damocles, the sword of self-examination.

"Are you ready?"

"Of course, Miss Shinomiya, this goes without saying."

After she finished speaking, Kaguya Shinomiya took action without hesitation.

The soft, white jade hand gently waved the Yuehua Yushen Sword, and a pale sword energy was reflected on the trajectory of the blade.

The sword energy condensed the surrounding space at an unimaginable speed.

Albert did not dodge, but instead held the Sword of Damocles in reverse to block the path of the sword energy.

“Buzz!!~”

The sword energy shattered like glass hitting a solid wall of iron and steel, and the crystal moonlight splashed in the air, emitting a bright glow.

Shinomiya Kaguya's face looked a little ugly. The sword just now could cut even the most advanced military war machine in half, but it could not penetrate the dagger in Albert's hand.

Albert did not say anything, but walked towards Kaguya Shinomiya step by step. The white moonlight fell on his face, and his flawless appearance revealed an inexplicable sadness.

Shinomiya Kaguya swung the sword again, and blood from the corner of her mouth dripped onto her white kimono, but she did not make any sound.

“Buzz!!~”

The sword energy shattered and turned into moonlight that dissipated in the air.
