We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

"Ha ha……"

Despite being extremely weak, Kazama Ruri only chuckled softly before slowly closing her eyes, refusing to give him an answer.

"You're not going to tell, are you?" Nan Yun Yuyue didn't seem to care.

The next second, 'Heart Abyss' was activated.

[Heart Abyss: Based on the strength of one's own bloodline, it can guide/control the emotions of all living beings within its domain to a certain extent.]

"Well……"

Kazama Ruri suddenly felt a splitting headache again.

Just now, during the battle with Nanon Ugetsu, he experienced excruciating pain in his consciousness due to the sudden emergence of Genji's personality and the flood of memories overwhelming his mind.

After the battle ended, he was finally able to spare some energy to recover his condition.

Unexpectedly, just as he was constantly fighting against the personality of the young girl, another great authority of the 'commandments' enveloped him.

"How can 'precepts' have this effect..."

Ruri Kazama made no attempt to hide her surprise.

Within her body, 'Yuan Zhinü' was constantly conforming to the will of 'Precepts', attempting to break through the mental constraints that had been imprisoned for so long.

Having been dormant for a long time, he has gradually awakened under the influence of the 'precepts' and is constantly trying to wrest control of his body from Kazama Ruri.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 'Yuan Zhinü'

His personality is celebrating!

"How can there be such a thing as the power of words..."

Kazama Ruri held on for a while, but finally spoke:

"There were no enforcement officers here at that time..."

"With your abilities, why would you care about those ordinary executive bureau agents?"

“Now is not a good time to fight my brother again. I don’t want to attract the main force of the Execution Bureau.” Kazama Ruri sneered. “Otherwise, I could easily kill them all by myself.”

"Then why did you carry out a massacre in the hotel, killing so many ordinary people? Wouldn't that have made it easier to attract the Enforcement Bureau's attention?"

Nanyun Yuyue said.

Kazama Ruri was silent for a few seconds:

"If I had known that your words had such an effect, I might have already left Kobe."

During the conversation, his facial expressions kept twitching.

Within the temple of consciousness, the conflict between his personalities further diminished his control over his body.

He is an unparalleled actor; he can quickly master any drama and reach an extremely high level, which undoubtedly demonstrates his control over micro-expressions.

But now he can't even control his own face, which shows how intense the battle between his two personalities is within his consciousness.

"Heh... In a little while, you'll see your brother again."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

"You were so busy fighting and killing in Shikatori Town that you didn't even have time to catch up."

"Once I'm in the execution bureau's jail, I can finally fill in this missing piece."

Kazama Ruri fell silent once again.

Finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice, slowly asking:

"How exactly...did you know about Deer Town?"

Nan Yun Yuyue smiled but did not answer his question.

Seeing that Nanon Ugetsu did not answer his question, Kazama Ruri was still not giving up. After a few more seconds, she sneered:

"You have always been unwilling to show your face and have only helped my brother from behind the scenes using your words of power. I'm afraid it's because you don't want to reveal your identity to the Snake Clan."

“Now there are surveillance cameras in the hotel. Although I don’t know if the cameras have been tampered with, as long as I’m here, you can’t possibly continue to hide behind the scenes.”

"Are you trying to trick me into killing you to silence you?" Nan Yun Yuyue shook her head.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of my identity being exposed now."

"If it were when I had just ignited the power of words, I might have been hesitant to act, but now... I can only say that you're overthinking it."

"Moreover... in fact, your Oni Clan's deployment of Death Servants into Kobe this time has given me an excellent opportunity."

Do you know why I haven't killed you yet?

Nangumo Ugetsu gazed into Kazama Ruri's eyes.

But before Kazama Ruri could voice her guess, he stood up and smiled meaningfully:

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

……

Tatata!

A series of hurried footsteps sounded.

"Yuan Zhisheng has arrived."

Within the 'precepts', Nan Yun Yu Yue had already sensed his presence.

"And the area around the hotel has also been sealed off."

Not far from the hotel, snipers from the Snake Clan had already targeted the exits and rooms.

Once they spot a target, they will open fire immediately.

Nanon Ugetsu had already heard the buzzing of the helicopter, which must be carrying heavy weapons that could change the course of the battle.

"That's certainly a big deal."

He secretly thought.

After being caught off guard at first, the Snake-Headed Eight Families finally showed the depth of their millennia-old heritage in Japan.

It is estimated that such riots have given the members of the Snake Clan who have planted themselves in the Self-Defense Forces a further opportunity to advance; otherwise, it would not have been possible to mobilize such a military force so easily.

Nan Yunyuyue remained unhurried and unhurried.

Kazama Ruri, however, remained calm, as if she had resigned herself to her fate, and closed her eyes again.

Wakaba Mutsumi and Toyokawa Shoko were still waiting beside Nagumo Ugetsu.

Meanwhile, Tsuzuki Shifune and Yorana, grandfather and granddaughter, did not leave.

Everyone remained where they were, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enforcement bureau.

quickly,

Genjiro's figure came into view.

…………

…………

"Young Master, are you sure you don't need us to go up with you?"

"Yes, I'm a very good shot."

The yaksha and the crow took turns speaking.

"At the very least, let Sakura go up with you. Sakura is a ninja, and she's more agile in narrow terrain."

"No need," Genji shook his head and sighed.

"With his strength, I'm afraid no one but me can stand up to him now."

"You guys are just responsible for guarding the exit. If he tries to escape, suppress him with fire immediately. We absolutely cannot let him leave Kobe."

"Yes, young master!"

The crow and the yaksha shouted at the same time.

Behind the two, more than a hundred executive bureau agents and members of the Kanto branch had surrounded the hotel from all directions.

Within a one-kilometer radius, police officers from the Kobe Police Department were patrolling everywhere, not to mention the two helicopters circling above the hotel at that moment.

Genji made his biggest decision: he would never let Kazama Ruri escape in vain.

In the Kobe riots, many places experienced power outages due to the chaos.

This hotel is just a slightly higher-end resort hotel, so Kobe's energy reserves are not specifically supplied to this area, and power has not yet been restored to the vicinity.

at this time,

The sound of rain was getting fainter and fainter, until it was just a few drops.

However, as time went by, the sky grew darker and darker. If the entire city were to fall into darkness, the capture would only become more difficult.

"Now...it's my turn."

Genji took a deep breath.

Without 'ZONE's' assistance, he really lacked the confidence to defeat his younger brother who had fallen into 'demon'.

But this was his destiny.

Now that you've embarked on this path of demon slayers, there's no turning back.

Genji drew his Spider Cutter and cautiously headed upstairs.

He was prepared for a sudden sneak attack from Kazama Ruri.

But before he had gone up more than a few floors, he suddenly felt that the 'royal power' that was ready to be activated at any moment had lost contact.

"Has the power of words been banned again?"

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned.

However, he was not as surprised as he was when his words were suddenly sealed in the town of Admissions for the first time; instead, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

“This is ‘precept’.”

"In that case, the 'Emperor' who helped me in Shikari Town should also be nearby."

"With him holding her back, it's no wonder Kazama Ruri couldn't escape."

Yuan Zhisheng felt somewhat relieved.

He slowly climbed the stairs with extreme tension, the increasingly pungent smell of blood assaulting his nostrils.

"The smell of blood is so strong... just how many people has that girl killed?"

Genji was first startled, then his anger surged up instantly.

These people barely survived the wave of Deadpools during the Kobe riots, but before they could reunite with their families, they became victims of Kazama Ruri's blade.

After battling Kazama Ruri, the few traces of pity that had finally arisen were instantly dispelled by the smell of blood, and he gripped the Spider Cutter even tighter.

"That 'ZONE' probably doesn't have strong direct combat capabilities, which is why it hasn't shown up yet."

"However, with him keeping me in check, plus my own strength, that should be enough."

"This time, we absolutely cannot let the girl escape again."

Yuan Zhisheng thought to himself.

Step—step—step

He stepped into the floor with the strongest smell of blood and then saw the corpse lying on the ground.

Despite having made mental preparations, Genjiro's emotions were once again thrown into turmoil.

This was a true mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The entire corridor was filled with the bodies of ordinary people, whether they were old or young, children or women. They all lay on the ground in terror, lifeless.

"Bastard!"

Yuan Zhisheng forcibly suppressed his anger and quickly rushed to the next floor.

The Spider Cutter seemed to hum along with its master's will, with a faint, cold light swirling on its blade.

His anger had reached its peak!

Yuan Zhisheng moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the next level.
