Chihaya Aine has nine wings

The road was littered with overturned police cars. The beach man stood among them and shouted into the intercom, "You don't have to kill the Ichichi family. Just do it to the Houzhong family. They must die here today!"

"You bastard..."

"Shit, the hounds are coming! I'll lead them away, and you do as I say!"

The other party hung up.

The captain angrily threw the walkie-talkie to the ground.

On the other side, Liuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the captain arriving.

If he doesn't arrive soon, he will have to use that trick.

Amplify the real world in the same way as amplifying space, create an infinite amount of information, and limit it to a fixed range of barriers, so that the brains of everyone within the barriers are immersed in infinite real information.

If he used this trick, he should be able to trap both Hiroi Kikuri and Phoenix.

However, this battle would become a competition between his and his opponent's brain computing power. Because in the barrier, he himself would also be immersed in infinite information.

Let’s see who will die first due to the infinite information in the barrier.

So, the risk is huge.

That is a last resort.

Fortunately, now the situation has reversed again and the advantage is back in their hands.

Black smoke shielded several helicopters from landing on the treetops.

The firepower of the ghost ship in mid-air was too dense, and they couldn't rush out. For safety, they even had to return to the hotel to avoid the attack.

"The criminals in the hotel have been mostly dealt with."

Hong Xia smiled bitterly, "We haven't escaped yet, and we've even come back."

These attackers... were really determined to kill them.

To be honest, this was the first time that Hongxia felt truly afraid of impending death.

Her last name was Ichichi. Because of her sister, she had not experienced many such crises since she was a child. While other children from heroic families had been attacked, no criminal dared to attack her.

Over time, although she understood that she was no different from other people, when she encountered danger, she would still keep the thought "the criminals dare not kill me" in her mind.

Even when the bomber had specifically called her out to kill her, she wasn't really that scared.

But this time, she really felt the approach of death.

Behind me, cold sweat was already pouring out and my legs and feet were a little weak.

Maybe she will really die here today?

The tree cluster suddenly began to vibrate with a rumbling sound, and the branches twisted and grew, lifting the wooden cocoon and sending it into the air.

Ijichi and others who had just got off the plane had to hold on tightly to the branches around them to prevent themselves from being thrown out of the sky by the wildly growing branches.

The entire tree was twisting, as if struggling and changing shape.

The green fluorescence, visible to the naked eye, shuttles through the core of the tree and converges towards the wooden cocoon.

Click.

Wooden cocoon, the surface is still intact.

But inside, a chilling cracking sound was heard.

It was as if the eggshell was broken.

It seems like something very dangerous... is about to appear.

"The tree body of this hotel has lost..."

Someone murmured.

The tree body of the Big Tree Hotel completely lost control of itself. The nutrients were uncontrollably absorbed and devoured by the dodder cocoon.

This time, the trees' strange movements were no longer due to a conflict between the dodder and the trees themselves, but rather, the dodder was completely setting the stage for its own transformation.

The tree cluster is relaxing and unraveling, and the original prototype of the hotel castle is opening upwards like a flower bud.

The wooden cocoon became the core of the entire hotel, supported in mid-air by three huge wooden pillars in a triangle. These three wooden pillars also functioned as a nutrient transporter. They were so thick that more than ten people could not hug them together. It was impossible to imagine how much nutrients were transported through them.

Hiroi Kikuri was pushed further and further away by the waves of branches, and with the restraint of Rokugan, it was difficult for her to get close to the wooden cocoon.

Phoenix, as well as some heroes who had just climbed to the top of the tree cluster and were originally in the hotel, were unable to raise their heads under the firepower coverage of the Ghost Fleet.

The heroes who came to support were unable to break through the blockade.

The Hounds were pinned down.

During one of the unusual movements of the trees, the branch that Ijichi Hongxia was holding onto broke, and she lost her footing and fell deep into the woods.

...will fall to death.

No one could help her.

At this moment, Ichichi Hongxia felt desperate and powerless.

……

……

"What's a good name?"

"……what?"

"The team's name."

"…I'm here to end it…"

"Soyorin~"

On the spiral staircase, Aine held the hand of the person behind her and turned her head to look back, “Stop being upset. Saying that kind of thing is very hurtful, okay?”

"..."

Su Shi glanced away.

Aine, Suze, Riki, Deng, and Rakuna, they are now walking in a tower-like spiral staircase, spiraling upwards.

"Don't feel embarrassed to face us."

Aiyin's expression softened as she said softly, "The five of us are actually all the same."

Su Shi lowered her head, her bangs hiding her expression.

She bit her lower lip.

Kaname Lenai stopped.

There is a door on the wall on one side of the spiral staircase.

“Remember to wear your headphones.”

Li Xi put the device on Yao Lenai, "This is an emergency communication device. It can only maintain communication for a few hours, but it has strong anti-interference capabilities. We will rely on this to communicate later."

"And this thing is very expensive, I remember."

Aine interjected with her tongue out.

"Ah."

Le Nai nodded, opened the door, and before entering, turned to look at Su Shi, "Su Shi, interesting woman, I'm not angry with you."

Su Shi's shoulders trembled.

Lenai closed the door and left the stairs.

Several people continued to move up.

"me……"

Deng spoke, clenching her fists tightly, "I also... I also made a lot of mistakes. I was confused for a long time..."

“I… I don’t know what my goal is as a hero. I’ve been timid and scared, lost in the real world, and hesitated between choices… Therefore, in the end, I hurt Aine and Suyo…”

"So... actually..."

Deng stopped and looked at Su Shi, meeting his gaze.

"...Actually, I was also wrong in this matter..."

"…This is not just your confusion, Su Shi…"

The sound of the light was faint, but firm.

"I don't blame you, Sushi."

After saying that, the gray-haired girl opened the door on the wall and ran in, as if she was looking for a place to hide.

"...You all, why are you all..."

Su Shi's voice sounded a little fragile.

Aine was looking ahead, unaware of Sushi’s expression.

But, she could feel that Su Shi was holding her hand tightly and tremblingly.

Aine smiled helplessly.

They walked up two more circles.

They could feel that the hotel was shaking and the trees were changing strangely.

Fortunately, some safe houses and important corridors are actually reinforced structures embedded in the tree hotel. Therefore, as long as the people in the hotel hide in the suites or safe houses, they will not be crushed by the movement of the trees.

Then, Lixi stopped.

"I'm in position."

Lixi put on headphones, pushed open the door on the wall, and then she paused.

She turned her back to Suyo and Aine and remained silent for a while.

"...I have actually been confused all along. From the beginning, I just wanted to be with Deng, and I didn't care about anyone else."

"So, Su Shi, I'm just as bad as you."

There was a pause in her voice.

"……I do not blame you."

He said this very quickly, and then Li Xi walked into the door and disappeared into the darkness.

Su Shi stood still.

Aiyin pulled twice, but the other party didn't move. Then she was stunned for a moment and turned back.

I found Su Shi crying silently, bending over, tears dropping to the ground.

Aiyin was flustered for two seconds, then smiled helplessly, held Su Shi's face, and wiped away her tears with her thumb.

"In fact, I am also confused and stupid. I can't use my abilities anymore. I have made up my mind to be an ordinary person...but I still plunged into you guys, haha."

Aine seemed to recall something, and the corners of her mouth curved up softly, “I want to be in the limelight, but I don’t want to face the fact that I’m no longer strong. I pretend to give up on myself, but my heart can’t stop myself from being stupid again and again... I’m the same, Soyorin.”

Su Shi's tears were wiped away, and the more she wiped away, the more they flowed out.

The chestnut-haired girl trembled and cried, losing her strength. Aine simply hugged her in her arms and wiped her tears with her shoulder.

"I don't blame you, Soyorin."

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa…”

Sushi cried out, burying her head in Aine’s shoulder.

Aine simply patted the other person's back gently, over and over again.

The hotel is rickety.

The girl cried.

Unable to stop hiccuping.

When Su Shi’s crying gradually stopped, Aine smiled and held her face up again.

"My face is all dusty... I cried like a kitten, hahaha..."

The stairs rumbled and shuddered, then began to rise on their own.
