Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

Thinking about the order just now, the leader gritted his teeth and agreed to the request of his subordinates.

After a while, they split into several groups and no longer tried to capture the civilians who had fled far away. Instead, they searched nearby. When they saw someone hiding in a room, they broke down the door, rushed in and took the person out.

【Boom】

As if sensing the injustice of this place, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky at some point.

The thunder rumbled from the sky all the way to the other side of the horizon.

"Not good, not good, not good!"

After hearing the muffled thunder, Abe Yasuhiko, who was still standing there at a loss, shuddered.

An unprecedented feeling of fear spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He counted with his fingers, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip. Immediately, he dropped everything, took a step forward, ignored his colleagues who were killing people and taking blood around him, and ran out of the city at the fastest speed in his life.

"Tae-chin, Tae-chin? What are you going to do?"

"Oh, he's still a child after all, maybe he's in a hurry."

"The kid just can't keep his cool. Let him be. He has nothing to do here anyway."

Others did not take Abe's departure seriously at all. After chatting for a few minutes, they stopped paying attention to it.

【boom】

The next moment, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge bolt of lightning struck the center of Kyoto, the imperial palace where the current emperor lived, in front of the gazes of all the people in Kyoto.

When everyone was surprised by the sudden lightning, only Abe Yasuchika was not affected and kept running outside.

However, even he took a quick look while running.

"Is this time aimed at Emperor Sutoku... Then he should be beyond saving. Tsk, now is not the time to care about other people."

Others just thought that this blow towards the palace was an ominous sign.

But Abe Taiichi knew very well that this attack was not aimed at the Imperial Palace.

This blow directly killed the emperor who lived in the palace.

If we stay a little longer, someone will come out from the palace to report the emperor's death.

Logically speaking, as an Onmyoji and the son of the head of the Onmyoji Ryo, Abe Yasuchika should have been present and mourned the death of the Emperor with others, but he no longer cared.

After all, the murderer who killed Emperor Sutoku is still in the city. Instead of mourning, what others need to do is obviously to catch the murderer.

Unfortunately, they can't do it, so if they don't run now, they may not have the chance to run later even if they want to.

【Dong】【Dong】【Dong】【Dong】

Just as Abe Tai-kin expected.

Shortly after the thunder and lightning, a huge gong sounded from the direction of the palace, which sounded ten times in a row, representing the death of the current emperor.

However, it was a little different from what Abe had expected.

After the gong sounded, the gate of the palace did not open, and no one came out to announce the emperor's death.

But this is not a good sign.

When things don't happen as planned, it often means that more troublesome accidents have occurred.

"Oh my god, the emperor has passed away?"

"How is that possible? It's too sudden. He was in good health the last time I visited him."

"Could it be the thunder just now?!"

"There must be some evildoer at work."

"Fortunately, the man from Tenmangu is still here. In this case, we can ask him to catch the murderer who killed the emperor!"

"Indeed, we are so lucky. If we met him at other times, we would not be able to do anything, but with this person here today, we can rest assured."

The Yin-Yang masters who were preparing for the sacrifice had no idea that this sudden lightning was related to the gods and generals.

They were just worrying about the insufficient number of sacrifices, but now they are thinking that it is a good thing that the sacrifices were not full, otherwise if they encountered such a situation when all the gods and generals were leaving, they would not be able to solve it themselves.

"It's too slow to flow like this. It's better to just chop off the head. It will flow faster this way."

Since you still want to ask the gods and generals for help, you must increase the offerings.

The leading Onmyoji glanced into the distance and saw from afar a group of people carrying civilians towards them.

Seeing that the civilians around him were only suffering from cuts, he immediately gave orders and prepared to extract blood more efficiently.

However, when his men raised their machetes and prepared to chop down the slaves.

Somehow, when they swung the machete down, their palms loosened and the machete slipped.

It hit his neck at a weird angle.

Chapter 171 A Pair of Eyeballs

“Gu…ah…uh…”

The man who had hit himself didn't understand what was happening for a moment and opened his mouth to say something.

But because the machete had cut off most of his neck, his throat was already filled with blood.

He wanted to speak, but because of the air leak and blood in his trachea, he couldn't make any specific sounds and could only make a few meaningless noises.

Only then did a sharp pain come from the wound, making him realize what had happened.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to undo it.

His eyes gradually became empty, his body gradually became stiff, and finally he fell to the side and died.

"Curse, curse, curse!! This must be a curse!!"

"Why, why did this happen? Are we still within that person's power?"

"It must be that Sugawara no Michi is resentful. He must be unhappy that we changed the priest."

"Huh?! Sir, what should we do?"

He was trying to hack someone but accidentally killed himself.

Although such mistakes do happen, when they occur at this time, they cast a shadow over the heads of this group of people.

They suddenly realized that something unexpected was happening.

"That guy Taiqin, he ran so fast just now. Did he find something? Damn it, he didn't even tell us."

"There's no point in talking about this now. What should we do next?"

"Could this be the resentment left by Sugawara no Michizane?"

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, keep going, no matter what, the offerings cannot stop, go and help that guy up, his blood cannot be wasted."

The noisy crowd around the leading Onmyoji's face changed several times, but he still gritted his teeth and waved his hand for everyone to continue.

"He, does he want his too......"

"this…………"

The leader's words made the two men beside the corpse change their expressions. To them, shedding the blood of civilians and shedding the blood of their colleagues were two completely different concepts.

Civilians are civilians. It doesn't matter whether they are bled or beheaded.

But the one on the ground now is of the same class as them.

The leader didn’t care about this man’s death at all, so he probably wouldn’t care about their deaths either.

There aren't many people in the team that's capturing civilians right now, and the leader is eager to take them, so maybe they'll be assigned to do the dirty work in the end.

"Hurry up and do the work for me, or do you want to meet him in advance?"

The leading Onmyoji noticed his men's hesitation and shouted at them.

Amid the scolding, the people below looked at each other, and finally bent down to deal with the dead guy.

"Tsk, damn, why is the mist getting redder? It was basically white just now."

After seeing his men taking action, the Yin-Yang Master breathed a sigh of relief, then rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, complaining as he rubbed.

"Is the mist very red? No, it's still the same as before."

"It seems to be a little red, but... Hey, sir, your eyes are so red."

The leading Onmyoji's words made the others look at each other in confusion. The other two Onmyoji looked around but couldn't tell where the red fog was nearby.

But when the other one finished observing the fog on both sides and looked at the leader, he suddenly found that the eyes of the leading Onmyoji had turned red at some point.

"My eyes are red. How red are they? Hey, what are you doing backing off? Why are you backing off? Tell me, what's wrong with me?!"

Hearing that his eyes were very red, the leading Onmyoji touched his eyes with some confusion. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a mirror or anything like that, so he couldn't see his condition clearly.

Even so, he did find that everything within his field of vision began to gradually turn red.

Just now he only felt red because of the fog beside him, but now he felt that his colleagues and subordinates around him were all red as well.

The walls and the ground seemed to be stained with blood, and everything in sight was just red.

What made him even more panicked was that his colleagues and subordinates around him suddenly looked at him as if he were a monster, and all of them began to move away from him with horror on their faces.

He was an onmyoji after all, and he realized that something major must have happened to him that shocked these people.

In order to make it clear what was happening, he waved his arm, threw out a talisman, and summoned a wolf-shaped shikigami.

However, he summoned this Shikigami not to fight against the enemy, but to see clearly what was happening to him through the eyes of the Shikigami.

The next moment, he closed his eyes, shifted his vision to the shikigami, and then opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, he immediately realized that what the others said was right.

From the perspective of the shikigami, everything around him was still in its original color, and the fog in the distance was still white and had not turned red.

In the shikigami's vision, he was standing opposite, with his head lowered to the ground, looking a little weird.

"Strange, am I the one with my head down?"

Because only the field of view is linked, other things are not affected.

The Onmyoji saw himself in the Shikigami's vision and said this sentence. It seems that the person in front of him is indeed him.

So, the sense of disharmony arises.

He clearly felt that he was just standing there with his eyes closed, but why was he standing there with his head lowered in the vision of the shikigami?

There must be something wrong between his own feeling and the image the shikigami saw.

"Something's wrong. Damn it. What's wrong? You guys must have seen it. Tell me now."

He himself didn't know, but those who retreated must have done so because they knew the reason. He rushed to the last person away from him and questioned loudly.

"Huh?!!! I didn't see anything. Nothing at all. Please let me go, sir. Please."

The man caught by the Yin-Yang Master was shaking like a sieve and his speech was stuttering, which clearly showed that he was terrified to the extreme.

This made the Yin-Yang Master even more furious, as he felt that the other party clearly knew the truth but didn't tell him.

Maybe it was because I suddenly had courage, or maybe it was because I was extremely scared.

When the Yin-Yang Master was about to punish this disobedient guy.

The man finally took action, and his trembling fingers pointed in a direction, which was where the Onmyoji had just stopped.

"Is there anything there?"

Following the direction indicated by the man, the Yin-Yang Master turned his head and found that there seemed to be something scattered on the ground over there.

Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong.

Although he didn't see clearly what it was, the Onmyoji's sixth sense was chirping wildly, telling him not to look.

But in order to understand the current situation, he ignored the warning of his sixth sense and moved closer to observe what had fallen over there.
