the other side.

Everyone except Ukyo gathered in the cell where Hachijou was imprisoned.

Detectives in Greater London were highly regarded, and it wasn't difficult for Kotoko and Arthur, two newly minted detectives, to lead a few men into a police cell.

"Have you seen Moritia?" Yanami squatted in front of the cross. Because both of Bazhua's wrists were tied to the cross and he lowered his head, Yanami had to lower his head to look him in the eye.

"Idiot!" Kotoko pulled her up by her arm. "There's no place for pretty girls in the torture session! Let's step aside and let these two do it."

"Oh." Yana said "oh".

She looked at the red-hot iron in Arthur's hand and the barbed whip in Sakuragawa's hand...

Maybe she can really try it, just in case it comes in handy in the future.

Unfortunately, Qinzi pulled her away.

She had a preconceived notion that all girls were not interested in such bloody scenes.

But people's personalities and preferences will change with the changes in the environment. She really didn't dare to watch it before, but now... She herself found it incredible. Listening to the screams in the cell, she actually wanted to watch it.

Unlike the other two, no one cares about Xiaoju's existence.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten her.

So she secretly stood in the cell and witnessed the torture by Arthur and Sakuragawa, two non-professionals.

……

……

Ukyo entered the cell during the interrogation.

The octopus's mouth is not that hard.

Everyone was a little surprised. They thought they would have to stay up late tonight, but they didn't expect that Octopus's mouth would be pried open before they could even torture him.

No.

Maybe it shouldn't be described as "翘".

Bazhua behaved like a fanatical fascist. According to historical trends, fascism has not yet appeared, but Bazhua's eyes reminded Ukyo of a fanatical "communist."

Yes, he had seen **. On a ship in the Arctic Ocean, when Bazhua told them the story, Youjing seemed to see again the captain who was "in heat" while holding the Führer's skull.

"The professor is the greatest man of the 19th century!"

The first words he said were shocking, but Youjing still had to listen patiently.

"Do you know why the professor has been so tirelessly arresting people in London?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up from their initial lack of interest.

Bazhua mentioned "catching people", so he knows that the world of the film crew is fake?

No one answered his question, but it didn't matter. Some fanatical believers liked to ask and answer their own questions, and Octopus fit their stereotype of fanatical believers very well—

"The professor has been relentlessly capturing people from the real world and bringing them to London because he knows the secrets of the world!"

Having said this, he paused in a pretentious manner.

It seemed as if he was expecting the people in front of him to ask questions.

But no one spoke.

Bazhua's face suddenly looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a water-soaked baguette.

But this doesn't matter, because he firmly believes that as long as he tells the real secret of the world, these people's mouths will open wide!

"You won't believe me when I tell you this, but the entire London was actually born from human 'imagination'. However, these humans aren't native to London, but rather come from a world called 'reality'."

Silence struck again.

The expressions of the people in the cell did not fluctuate at all.

Even if they looked at him as if he were a fool or a madman, Bazhua's expression would feel better.

"I say..." Yanaijian suddenly said, "Should we cooperate with him?"

"No need," Arthur said, "He's a prisoner now, and cold violence can be considered a form of torture."

"Don't talk about things that everyone knows." Qinzi said disdainfully: "Tell us something we don't know. These things are not enough to surprise us."

Kotoko is fishing.

This is the lowest level of provocation.

However, the octopus just loves it.

He grinned and said, "Human imagination can expand the area of ​​the 'Demon Realm'! At the same time, human fantasy can also expand the population of London! That's why the professor keeps bringing people to London! Rather than just daydreaming about a world without London, having them actually come to London will make those imaginations more concrete! London used to be only a dozen kilometers in size, but since people from the real world came to London, its area has been expanding every day!"

"They love calling themselves 'time travelers' and using their modern knowledge to profit. Some have achieved high positions and unlimited wealth because of this. Naturally, they want London to be as big as possible. Magical puppets, alchemists, human transmutation—many things are created by people in the real world!"

If you look at it this way, Moritia is quite great to this demon world.

Ukyo began to recall the news from the real world. In countries like Japan, China, and the United Kingdom, which have large-scale Yin-Yang magic, magic circles, and spirit arrays for protection, it is rare to hear of large-scale human disappearances. However, it is hard to say about some East Asian countries, or places like Africa and Iceland that do not have large-scale magic arrays for protection and have relatively backward news media. Even if a large-scale population disappearance occurs, the outside world will not know about it.

This explains why they suddenly fell from reality into the demon world.

But everyone remained expressionless.

They already knew who Bazhua was.

In addition to being a loudmouth, this man is also a fanatical admirer of Moritia. He desperately wants to find shock towards the "professor" or the same admiration as himself in other people's expressions. If not, he will be very anxious.

"Why are you still not responding?"

The octopus's eyes were bloodshot.

"This is still reasonable." Youjing said.

Others are pretending to be calm, only he is truly calm.

It was this sincere look without any fluctuation that allowed Bazhua to break through his defense.

"Don't act like you know the professor so well! You'd never guess what his ultimate goal is!"

"I can almost guess," Ukyo said. "His goal should be to annex other demonic realms. After all, relying on the fantasies of the real survivors to expand the demonic realm is definitely not as fast as annexing other demonic realms. I've walked almost all over London, and there are many uncivilized "deserts" on the border here, which look very similar to the soil of some low-level demonic realms. I originally thought that those things were just the edge of this demonic realm, and that seeing the desert should mean the end is almost here. But no matter how long I walk, I can't see the edge."

"Now I understand. Those wastelands aren't the end of London, but the beginning of another demonic world that's been swallowed up. I need to cross an entire demonic world to reach the end. I always thought I was almost there, so as I walked, I kept wondering why I hadn't reached the end yet. It seems that if I had walked a few more days, I would have definitely seen the [rift] at the end of the world."

Ukyo found a place to sit down.

He had a feeling that the next place would be long.

"Actually, I'm also a fan of the Doctor, and I really want to join you." Ukyo's expressionless face, which never smiled, unexpectedly forced a smile: "Tell me about how he expanded the demon world."

"Heh." Bazhua was no fool. "I don't see any devotion to the professor on your face, but I don't mind telling you about his great deeds!"

Bazhua's eyes suddenly became dreamy and magnificent——

"Everyone's outstanding boxers in the underground boxing gym are the vanguards fighting against the demons from other worlds outside the world barrier!"

"All those seriously injured will be healed by the Human Body Reconstruction Technique. Their broken limbs will be filled with something resembling black mud. As they lose consciousness, they will become soldiers under the 'Current Boxing Champion.'"

"Before today, I was fighting on the border for the professor's great ideals, until the professor gave me a new order, and that target was you! Mr. Sang Biao! I used to respect you so much that I didn't even mind calling you the great Mr. Sang Biao, but unfortunately, I was wrong. I don't see any loyalty to the professor in your eyes, and you damned guy are actually an outsider!"

After saying that, Octopus looked at Arthur again.

"That Sherlock from Baker Street has investigated the professor many times, but he is still far from achieving the professor's true great goal. The professor doesn't take that private detective seriously at all."

"He believed the only threat to the world was his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, so he once used a 'mirror' to sneak himself into reality, attempting to eliminate the only target who could kill him. But that man seemed to have two lives, and the professor failed. Hahahaha!!! Conan Doyle! You've always been the professor's biggest worry. If you can eliminate his ultimate enemy before I die, I'll die without regrets!"

Suddenly, some lava-colored blood vessels appeared on the surface of Octopus' skin. The temperature in the room began to rise inexplicably, and everyone stepped back involuntarily.

Kuro Sakuragawa was the first to react. He was a fan of the Iron Man series. The state of Octopus was very similar to the appearance of the cyborg infected with the "Extremis virus" before he self-destructed in the third Iron Man movie!

He subconsciously held Kotoko in his arms.

The explosion was very fast, and the man did not hesitate at all when he blew himself up, as if fanatical believers everywhere were very active in committing suicide.

Ukyo also immediately hugged Yanami in his arms, trying to use his back to protect against the impact of the explosion.

Once you have someone you care about in your heart, when danger comes, the first person you think of will not be yourself.

Arthur was the only one at the scene who was confused.

But it didn't matter. He still had a replacement puppet in the real UK. Even if he died here, it wouldn't matter. As long as his body was intact, he could come back to life. The only bad thing was that he saw Xiaoju in the corner, no one cared about her. Everyone was too far away from her, and no one could protect her immediately. Arthur kicked over the only table in the interrogation room. Xiaoju was thin enough that when she huddled in the corner, the table and the wall formed a stable triangle, protecting her firmly.

--boom!

The impact of the explosion echoed throughout the dungeon.

This old dungeon, built in the 18th century, was already structurally unstable. After the explosion, the upper structure immediately began to collapse.

Yanami held the knife horizontally against Ukyo's head. Even if his body was strong enough to withstand the impact of the explosion, his head might not be able to withstand the collapse of large pieces of bricks and rocks.

It didn't matter to Kotoko. The two of them didn't share any hardships. She was watching her boyfriend's broken body slowly repair itself.

The rubble from the upper level hit Yanami's fingers. Ukyo felt his ears getting a little hot, not knowing whether it was the blood on his head or the blood on Yanami's hands.

The Gūhō-no-Tori protected its master by itself and helped them carry the huge rock on their heads. The cat hid in the phone and didn't want to come out, but Yanami, who was held in Ukyo's arms, had a lot of space to move around.

She used her mouth to remove the phone from Ukyo's pocket and let the cat out.

Volume 151: Chapter 5 Has anyone seen Jackie Chan Adventures? (k)

"--Meow!"

Nekomata was very reluctant, "I don't want to die with you two! If Ukyo dies, the original prison contract will be lifted!"

"What prison contract?" Yanai said, "That's an equal life contract! If one party dies, the other will die too!"

"You lied to me! Where is that thing?"

"Yes, you haven't forgotten that Ukyo is very good at changing talismans, right?"

Yanami didn't understand the contract at all, but she'd watched a lot of anime! She could just make up something like a life contract, right? Saving Ukyo was the most important thing anyway!

"I want to tell you something." Yanami suddenly saw Ukyo's lips moving, as if he wanted to say something to her. She couldn't believe that this man could still speak after enduring the impact of an explosion that was enough to collapse a building.

"Actually... I don't know anything about art. I'm a science student. Everything I told Irene was memorized a long time ago... just so I could have something to talk about in similar situations. My understanding of oil painting is probably about the same as your understanding of mathematics..."

Please don't make fun of her math grades at this time, okay?

Tears of compassion welled up in Yanami's eyes. "If you want to leave a last word, could you please say something normal? Like, is there anything you want to tell me... In those hot-blooded manga, don't those who survive a catastrophe carry the wishes of their deceased friends? But it seems we're not at the point of dying yet."

Yanami's scabbard was propped up above Ukyo's head. The first piece of ceiling stone that fell was very large, and it just created a protective space above the two people's heads. The subsequent falling debris all hit the surface of the largest boulder.

"How much did this knife cost?"

"4500 million." You Jing said, "When the other bidder had just bid 3100 million, you directly bid 4500 million, which shocked the bidder. There's something I didn't tell you. Even if you add the added value after the spiritual resurrection, this sword is only worth 2000 million at most."

"There's something I didn't tell you... Auctions are also known as the rich people's pig-killing scheme. Many organizers will deliberately inflate the added value of an item, hyping it up to the heavens to tempt the wealthy second generation. That 'added value' is the 'pig feed' that lures them in. The auction venue is the 'pig pen,' where the organizers search for those wealthy pigs who are also prone to impulsive spending. Whenever they set their sights on an item and want to bid, the 'auctioneers' arranged in advance at the venue will compete with them, driving the original item's price up to a level that doesn't belong to it. Then, the wealthy second generation or young man who is both wealthy and prone to impulsive spending will pay the bill. This is the final step of 'killing the pig.'"

Yanai was stunned.

"Then we'll never go to the auction again! Damn it! Was I slaughtered like a pig last time?"

"No, that 'Bruce Wayne' really wanted to bid." Ukyo said, "I'm telling you this suddenly just to tell you that if I die here, you might have to go to the auction to buy the knife yourself next time. Don't get cheated then."

"Don't say such things at this time!" Yanaijian tried hard to hold on to the stone above. If the spiritual revival also provided her with some kind of change, she thought it must be arm strength.

She dejectedly recalled what she had said to her not long ago, about how confessing wasn't necessarily the first step, and that sometimes you could skip the physical act and just kiss and hug first. If those things were done, confessing your love would naturally follow. You could even be a couple without the "confession" step, it just wouldn't be that formal. She knew a friend of hers who only realized they hadn't confessed their love to each other on the day of the proposal. One day, while they were traveling, the man suddenly and formally held her hand. She thought he was going to confess his love, but he suddenly pulled a diamond ring box from the inside pocket of his down jacket...

Now Ukyo's face was very close. Although there was a lot of dust falling from above on their shoulders, his features were still as clear and distinct as if they were carved with a knife or an axe, and were not affected at all.

But Yanai didn't dare to move at all. She was afraid that the "physical structure" they were in was not stable. What if she suddenly made any small movement and the space collapsed again?

Kotoko was not far from them, and she could vaguely see what was happening over there through the gaps between the rubble.

So what are you doing, Yanami Kyouna?

"I'm going to call you a waste."

"Ah?" Sakuragawa Kuro was stunned.

"Oh, I'm not talking about you." Kotoko raised her hand and touched Jiulang's cheek, kissed him, and then looked at his back where new flesh was rapidly growing and said, "Come on, we won't die here."

"That's true..." Sakuragawa Kuro narrowed his eyes and said indignantly, "But you don't feel any pressure at all, do you?"

"How else?" Kotoko said, "I have to say something to make you feel a little more involved, right? Or maybe give you a reward or something? I could touch your face and say, 'Good girl, just hold on. I'll let you do anything after we get out~' Haha~, see, that's hilarious, right? If it weren't for the inappropriateness of saying those things in this crisis, I'd already be making dirty jokes."

Yes, Iwanaga Kotoko often makes statements that are inconsistent with her background. Men and women may have completely different perspectives when faced with the same situation.
