As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

If we really wait until the monsters in the center of the earth break through the surface and treat this place as their paradise, it will be too late.

Once people know the concepts of dead air and weirdness, this [pollution-free technology] that does not produce dead air will become the focus of people's attention.

And he who solves this problem will become the focus of everyone's attention, be placed on the throne, and become a god revered by countless people!

Whenever he thought of this future, his already not-so-young heart would beat faster and he would feel full of energy.

On this day, when Konoe Tominaga was conducting experiments as usual in a place that looked like a temple but was actually a laboratory, his assistant, or of course his son, walked in from outside the laboratory.

"Father," he said in an extremely respectful tone, "the Emperor's messenger has arrived."

Huh?

Konoe Tominaga looked up with some confusion, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his old face.

The Konoe family is the most direct descendant of the Sakurajima imperial family.

Konoe Tominaga was naturally loyal to the Emperor.

But compared with research results, this loyalty has to take a back seat.

But there is no way, the Emperor is his master after all, and the fact that the Kisaragi Train can pull people in so unscrupulously, in addition to its own rules, the cover-up work of the Sakurajima royal family is also extremely important.

For both public and private reasons, we have to meet each other eventually.

You should be here to inquire about the research results of [Artificial Buddha], right?

Konoe Tominaga thought so when he walked out of the basement.

When he came to the main room of the house, he saw a young man about 18 years old, who was drinking by himself and observing the "experimental materials" hanging there with great interest.

After hearing his footsteps, the young man turned around and met Konoe Tominaga who pushed the door open.

What a handsome young man!

Although he did not pay much attention to appearance, the moment he saw the boy's face, Konoe Tominaga couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

In any case, a stunning appearance is always a plus compared to an ugly face.

Because of this, Konoe Tominaga's first impression of this young man was actually quite good.

In addition, when he saw the "materials" that had just been delivered, there was no fear or disgust on his face, and he even had a slight smile...

This made Konoe Tominaga even happier.

Although he often comforted himself in his heart that he was fighting for the future of all mankind, those who could not realize this were just mediocre people who only saw the surface of things.

But when those people gave him strange looks, he always had a cruel thought in his mind to turn them all into 'experimental materials'.

He is the man who is to become a god and a Buddha, and those who disrespect him are naturally guilty.

In such a happy mood, Konoe Tominaga naturally liked this young man more and more.

He even secretly regretted in his heart that if this young man was not from the royal family, he would have hoped to accept him as his student...

However, just as he walked up to the young man and was about to ask him why the royal family sent him, an inexplicable chill suddenly surged into his heart.

Although he is a little old and frail, Konoe Tominaga is a soul binder after all.

In fact, his sense of danger has always been quite sensitive.

however--

It's too late.

His son, who had been following him respectfully and walking out of the underground laboratory with him, actually stretched out his hands and completely controlled him.

Konoe Tominaga looked back in astonishment, but found that there was no expression or anger on his face at the moment, as if he was a puppet being controlled by others.

This is... the power of charm!

Konoe Tominaga was not a fool. He reacted to everything in an instant.

Other soul binders have invaded the secret base of the Konoe family and even bewitched his son!

Not only that, perhaps even the vast majority of people in this entire space are under the control of the young man in front of him!

Damn it, what on earth were the others doing? How come they didn't even notice such a blatant invasion!

After all, Konoe Tominaga was the head of the Konoe family. Although he was indeed panicked for a moment, he immediately calmed down.

She clearly had the ability to charm, but she didn't do it to him right away.

It seems that this charming ability is irreversible, or it will cause some kind of damage to the brain, making him unable to do so.

In this case……

"What exactly do you want from me? Do you want the Konoe family's [Artificial Buddha] technology?" Konoe Tominaga asked coldly.

The boy blinked in surprise.

"Why do you think I'm interested in torturing humans?"

Yes, torture humans.

This is the core of the so-called "artificial Buddha" technology.

The reason why humans fear death, besides fear of the unknown, is that they have an instinctive desire to survive.

If that's the case, then just use the pain like a file to grind away this desire for survival.

Not only that, pain can also frustrate people's rationality and wisdom...

This is really killing two birds with one stone.

Isn't there a saying in Buddhist scriptures that "all living beings suffer"?

Without crossing this boundless ocean of suffering, how can one reach the other shore of light and attain the body of an infinite Buddha?

Although it sounds simple, the timing of this torture is the key.

These researchers need to skillfully grasp the victims' mental endurance and bring them the "right" extreme pain. Once they are somewhat familiar with the current pain, they will be taken to the next stage of hell...

For the Konoe family, where exactly this 'just right' point is has been the key to their exploration for hundreds of years.

They always believe that as long as they grasp this "degree" and complete the entire process perfectly, they can get what they want, the "artificial Buddha" that will not produce "death energy" after death.

Facing the boy's surprised question, Konoe Tominaga snorted coldly, "Still pretending."

In his opinion, the boy's performance was just an acting skill.

He just wanted to 'lower the price'.

"Since you are a soul binder, you should know the truth of this world. In this case, you should understand what a great achievement I am doing now!" Konoe Tominaga's tone was full of fanaticism.

"Death energy is an unsolvable problem facing all humans! As long as we can extinguish its source, it means that humans have the possibility of extinguishing the enemy of mankind, the [weirdness], from the source!"

"I admit that the Konoe family's actions may indeed be a little inhumane, but so what!"

"Once I succeed, the future of mankind will usher in a blue and pure world! In the face of that future, laws and ethics should all give way to me."

"Young people, only children who have not yet experienced the polish of society, will look at the world in terms of right and wrong. A truly mature person will analyze things in terms of pros and cons."

"You and I are both the latter," Konoe Tominaga stared at the boy in front of him, while silently counting in his mind, "So, why not be honest with each other."

"It's a pity." The boy shook his head. "I once wanted to be as 'mature' as you, but every time I kill a bad guy like you, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."

"Over time, I realized my true nature and decisively gave up resistance."

"What!" Konoe Tominaga doubted his ears for a moment, "What did you say?"

"You can understand that I have some kind of heroic complex, and that I can put myself on the moral high ground by killing scum like you, in order to gain some kind of spiritual pleasure." The young man spread out his hands.

Judging from his expression, Konoe Tominaga could tell that he was absolutely serious.

This madman!

Konoe Tominaga didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to play along with the other party.

The humming sound of steam could be heard faintly in his ears.

[Kiragi Train] is a weird journey between fantasy and reality.

Although it is a spirit bound by Konoe Tominaga, its body is too huge and there is no way to contain it within the soul.

Generally speaking, it will always travel between reality and illusion, constantly looking for prey for the Konoe family.

Because of this, even if its owner, Konoe Tominaga, calls it, it still has to wait for a while before it 'arrives'.

At the same time, the young man in front of him seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction.

A huge smile appeared on his face.

"I've been waiting for this."

If he wasn't afraid that [Kusurugi Train] would escape, why would he waste so much time talking to this old man who made him feel disgusted?

The boy raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

At this moment, a faint green light began to shine from his neck——

"[Blood Field]."

He once again uttered the name that was already engraved on his soul.

85. Just the Nemesis of Evil (More)

An extremely wide, pitch-black crack suddenly appeared next to Konoe Tominaga.

A huge locomotive was violently spewing steam and rushing towards Yuanhui at lightning speed.

But the [Blood Field] itself contains the ability to manipulate space.

To Yuanhui, the rapidly approaching train was as conspicuous as a bonfire in the darkness.

The moment it rushed to Yuanhui, the red and black land unfolded at an extremely fast speed.

It was as if a huge mouth suddenly opened and swallowed the old train in one gulp.

But at the moment this big mouth closed, Konoe Tominaga was extremely horrified to find that he had completely lost control of the [Kirsukuri Train].

This is not common sense at all!

Logically speaking, since he hasn't died yet, the [Kusuru Train] should not be able to escape the bondage of his soul.

but why……

An intense pain as if his soul was being torn apart swept through Konoe Tominaga's heart.

He curled up on the floor in agony, the vision in front of him gradually becoming dotted with crimson.

Although it was the first time he saw it, Genki already knew the three elements of the [Kiragi Train].

Before, when they were on the train, Tamamonomae had told him what conditions were required if he wanted to board the [Kirsukuri Train].

An ordinary person riding the train within Sakurajima who would not attract any attention even if he disappeared.

This is the strange killing trigger of "Kirsukuri Train".

As for the [rules of action] and [methods to avoid death], Yuanhui found them in the memories of the core members of the Konoe family.

To be precise, they are the sons of Konoe Tominaga.

[Kiragi Train] is a mysterious secret passed down from generation to generation in the Konoe family. It can be said to be one of the foundations for the establishment of the Konoe family.

This was no secret to the core members who enjoyed the inheritance rights.

Even if they knew this, outsiders could only avoid the [Rusugami Train].

If the Konoe family wanted someone to die, they wouldn't have bothered this weirdo to take action.

It's not their fault.

Before Yuanhui, there has never been a monster who can use other monsters for his own benefit as long as he knows the three elements?

That night, out of caution, Yuanhui did not attack the temple located in the core area.

However, after that night, three days had actually passed.

The core members of the Konoe family also need to come into contact with other people.

In this case, there are plenty of opportunities to "take action".

If it weren't for the need to ensure that Konoe Tominaga wouldn't notice anything unusual, the speed could be even faster.
