The sound of the heartbeat changed its rhythm at this moment.
Lin Yi, holding the lily of the valley, took a step forward, constantly moving among the attacking zombies, and continued to move forward in this strange place full of coffins, as if he was sensing something, searching for something as he kept moving forward.
Finally, his footsteps stopped on the ground, and a row of black footprints suddenly appeared on the empty ground.
"This kind of formation can't trap the Yincha, so those things know how to get to the next level."
By resonating and tracking the energy reaction of the Yinchai encountered at the stairs, Lin Yi quickly moved forward, taking Gu Mingji Jue and Linglan directly into a wall, and rushed through the wall into a gloomy and dark corridor.
Chapter D-30: Fierce Enemy: Hour of the Pig
Has another level been breached?
In the darkness, a figure slowly raised his head.
Kokushibo, who was meeting the enemy outside the formation, was killed in battle. The one who was in charge of annihilating the Taoist priest, the green-haired bastard from the Demon Slayer Corps, and his sister, seemed to have fallen into an abnormal state, and they were probably no different from being dead.
Now, I am the only one left here.
The only ones left are those who should have died and failed to complete the mission, but are still alive, maintaining the formation here.
They are coming soon.
These saviors will soon be coming to our side.
I……
What will I do next...
hum-
The man raised his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a blood-colored array drawn on the ground, forming a circular structure around where the man was sitting, with ten tiny dots scattered out.
At this moment, two of the points on the array have dissipated on their own, and the third point also showed signs of wriggling and breaking, and it seemed that it might dissipate at any time.
This means that Lin Yi and others above are about to pass the third level.
This means that the distance between the enemy and you is getting closer and closer.
Use more corpses?
No, it's useless, that thing can't threaten them.
Make further changes to the matchup?
No, it will only delay the process for a little while.
I no longer have any cards in my hand that can threaten these guys.
Whether he was willing to admit it or not, as a sorcerer, his ability was only this level, and he no longer had the means to destroy these enemies. Even if he continued to struggle, he could only delay the enemy for a while. It wouldn't be long before these guys came to him, and then he would really have no hope.
“Damn it…Damn it…”
Why does this happen?
How come these damn saviors appear in such large numbers, and are so powerful? The evil formation that I have painstakingly built for more than ten years is so fragile under the power of these guys.
If this continues...
No...no...I can't...
"In the end, they really didn't stop it. The casino that took ten years to run and was about to be completed has lost most of its value. It's almost ruined. Well, one of the newly recruited errand boys also died. Are the other two under control? How embarrassing."
At this moment, a slightly frivolous voice suddenly sounded from behind the man.
The man, who originally had a distorted expression, suddenly tensed up at this moment.
Speechless.
Even my breathing stopped.
The whole person just froze in place.
This is not due to the control of some external force. It is simply an instinctive reaction of the body, which occurs when facing an extremely terrifying threat.
"S-Sir..."
With difficulty, he squeezed out this sound from his throat.
The stiff body trembled a few times, and the shivering man was about to kneel down, knock his head on the ground, and kowtow to the person standing behind him.
However, he was unable to continue the action because the figure casually stretched out a foot and directly hit his head, making it impossible for him to bend down. He could only remain stiffly in a half-kneeling posture.
"What are you doing? Even if you are an idiot, you should at least take a look at the situation. You are the center of the formation. If you move around, wouldn't the formation, which is half destroyed, be completely destroyed?"
The figure spoke casually as usual, then took a step and walked directly past the man.
"All the possible arrangements of the formation were useless. So, the opponent attacked directly in a short period of time? That's quite capable."
"Let me see, one, two... five people? That's quite a lot, and they're pretty strong. No wonder you're in such a mess."
"If that's the case, it's only natural that you'll lose with just the strength you have. The gap in hard power is too big, and you can't win if you can't. But even so, your tactics are still too poor. Your level is really not good enough. To be honest, I'm very disappointed that you're wasting my team's resources like this."
Muttering, the figure turned around and looked at the man sitting in the formation again.
The man didn't dare to speak.
He knew that he absolutely could not speak at this time. He could only speak when the other party asked him to speak. He had seen the consequences many times if he tried to interrupt him or take over the conversation on his own.
So the only thing I can do now is to lower my head, listen to the other person continue to talk, and then when the other person opens his mouth and allows me to do so, I can find a way to organize my words to answer him.
Otherwise, you will face a fate more tragic than death.
"Well, anyway, things have developed to this point. There is no point in blaming you. Killing you now would be a pure meaningless internal conflict. I'm not that stupid."
Shaking his head, the figure sighed and walked towards the stairs.
Doesn't he intend to hold himself accountable?
I wasn't punished at all?
How can such a thing be——
puff!
"Uh ah... ah..."
The red blade that pierced his chest quickly dissolved and merged with the man's body.
He howled and struggled in pain, the color of his body gradually changing, and the formation beneath him also became brighter and brighter, as if some abnormal change had occurred at this moment.
"It's useless anyway, so just burn up your soul to maintain this formation. I'll be a little more magnanimous this time and let you die more easily."
"Hmm, wait, you don't seem to be human anymore? Sure enough, that green-haired kid really likes miserable guys like you. In this case, you may suffer for a while, but that's none of my business."
Speaking so casually, the tall man who had never revealed his figure began to walk upstairs step by step, his eyes fixed on the few people heading downstairs.
There are three people, well, one of them has a pretty good aura, one is too weak to be considered, and the other one is also okay, but he doesn’t look like he can fight very well.
"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've seen a Savior outside of an Evolver mission. What's the level of this generation of newcomers?"
With a chuckle, the tall man disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time in the ruined city, Tanjiro looked at Jifutaro and Daki who were standing stiffly in a row. He could not hide the surprise in his expression and could not help but turn his head several times to look at Uncle Lin beside him.
"It's really amazing. How did you do it, Uncle Lin?"
The boy asked with full of curiosity.
Just now, there was a fierce life-and-death fight in the building, but the next second, the Jifu Taro who was fighting with him started to beat himself, rolling on the ground for several rounds like a drunk, and then walked down the stairs step by step. This kind of thing, to be honest, is too magical. Tanjiro has never seen such a direct control of others, without the help of psychological manipulation or spider web lines.
"These two people are closely related by blood, and should be born from the same mother. They are also very close to each other. Although they are not congenital twins, they have formed a state of coexistence and death similar to that of twins through acquired tacit understanding. Therefore, as long as the soul of one of them can be controlled, the other will be controlled as well. If Miss Gu Mingdi hadn't reminded me of this, I might not have thought of this aspect."
Uncle Lin shook his head slightly and said, with a stick of incense burning in his hand. There was a thread tied to the incense, connecting it to the body of the white-haired evil ghost named Duji.
It was obvious that he used this incense and thread to cast some kind of magic to control Daki's body.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You could actually be controlled by that guy!"
Although his body was controlled, Jifutaro's mouth was still able to speak. His expression was distorted. He looked at his sister Daki and couldn't help but roar and shout.
"How can this be my fault? It's obviously you who is controlling me. Why don't you just kill him more quickly?"
As the younger sister, Daki didn't think that she had done anything wrong at all, and she started yelling at Jifutaro with a feeling of grievance.
"I was just fighting that scar-headed brat, how could I have the time to see your body so clearly? Besides, that old guy has only a few magic skills and is just an ordinary human being. Can't you just kill him by controlling the ribbon from a distance? Are you a fool to fight a warlock in close combat?!"
With his expression becoming more and more distorted, Jifutaro roared even louder.
"So you obviously saw how I fought him, why didn't you remind me, why didn't you do anything, couldn't you just kill that scarred brat? In the final analysis, it was you who didn't do well, why do you blame me!"
Daki's voice also became louder, and she continued to challenge Jifutaro with an angry look on her face.
"You always ask me to do everything. You are just an ordinary human being. Can't you use your brain to solve the problem yourself?"
"It's obviously your fault. Wouldn't it be over if you just killed that brat in one go? You can't even beat a guy like that. You were too careless!"
"What are you talking about?! I've already suppressed that brat. Even if I gave you an ordinary person to fight you, you wouldn't be able to beat him. When will you stop embarrassing yourself like this?"
"Huh? After all, wasn't I just following your orders? We could have suppressed that brat and killed him right from the start, but you decided to split up your forces. In the end, the fault lies with you, idiot!"
"What did you say!!!"
“That’s what I said!!!”
Ah, the noise is really loud...
Looking at the two evil spirits whose bodies were controlled and making such a hysterical noise, Tanjiro was speechless for a moment. He always felt that his desperate fight with Jifutaro just now was like a bad joke.
"It's really noisy."
Uncle Lin frowned, looking very impatient with the two evil ghosts who were getting louder and louder. He made a few seals and slapped the rope. Then, Jifutaro and Daki closed their mouths involuntarily. Although they still tried their best to twist their faces to speak, they couldn't say a word.
"Within one stick of incense, the two of them will not be able to break free from control. Let's go and meet up with the others."
Uncle Lin said this while controlling the two evil ghosts to move forward.
"Do you want to take them with you?"
Tanjiro looked at the two evil spirits hesitantly.
After all, this is an upper six demon, very powerful. Even with his own markings activated and Uncle Lin using the summoning technique, he can only tie with Jifutaro. In this case, he will be suppressed by the opponent and cannot fight back effectively. If the control fails in a while, once Jifutaro makes a move at this distance, the two people on his side will inevitably be hurt.
"It doesn't matter. They are still useful. To break this formation, brute force attack alone won't work. We need to use something else."
"There are marks on the bodies of these two evil monsters that can make them immune to the influence of the formation. Keeping them will help me break the formation. And just in case, I cast a spell on the incense. Even if the connection is disconnected, they will fall into a stiff state and will not be able to threaten us."
Uncle Lin briefly explained the situation to Tanjiro. As a veteran savior who had experienced many missions and encountered various dangerous situations in his native world, Uncle Lin would naturally not leave any loopholes in his action plan. Although he occasionally encountered unexpected situations, it was basically because his apprentice or someone else who was present at the time did something outrageous, causing Uncle Lin to be affected and suffer.
In a sense, this is Uncle Lin's biggest weakness, that is, once he encounters an unreliable teammate, he will often encounter unexpected situations. But this time, there is obviously no such person among the teammates. Whether it is Lin Yi and his group or Tanjiro, they are the type who can cooperate well with their teammates and will not act recklessly. Even if they act recklessly, they act recklessly in a reasonable way. Therefore, this mission can be said to be quite comfortable for Uncle Lin.
However, this situation does not seem to last forever.
Tanjiro and Uncle Lin moved very quickly. It took them only more than 20 minutes to reach the southern suburbs that were bombed into a crater.
But what they saw here was not their companions waiting to meet up, but a tall man sitting on the rubble of the ruins.
"Oh, you're here, along with these two shameful guys who are being controlled. Well, but at least they're not dead, so that's okay."
Throwing down the broken leg in his hand and stepping on the remnants of the shattered Holy Grail bottle, the man stood up and smiled at Tanjiro and Uncle Lin who were not far away.
"As for my name, you can call me Beller, the captain of the E-class Evolver Squadron [Darkness]. Although I am only a clone here, it should be no problem for me to send you on your journey together."
As he spoke, the man named Beller walked towards the two of them.
The aura emanating from the man at this moment caused the young man holding the Nichirin Sword to stiffen all over, and even his breathing almost stopped because of the oppressive feeling.
Chapter D-31: Water and Fire: The Hour of Hai
What the hell does this happen?
Tanjiro's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing at this moment.
The fragments of the Holy Grail bottle... That was Mr. Lin Yi's healing tool, why was it broken? And the leg he was holding in his hand, whose leg was that? This size and shape seemed to be unique to Mr. Lin Yi.
There is a strong smell of blood. An extremely fierce battle took place here. It is very likely that there have been serious casualties...
I clearly saw the coordinates of their three teammates were here before, and I didn’t notice anything unusual.
Mr. Lin Yi, Ms. Gu Mingdi, Ms. Ling Lan... How are they? What is their current situation? What happened here?
"Hey, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. You can be resurrected after you die anyway, so there's nothing to be surprised about."
