Night, Shangri-La Hotel.
"Useless thing!" Jian Shanyou lashed Dark's body with his whip, and another bloody scar immediately appeared on his fair skin. Dark revealed a pained expression, trembling as she turned her head to the side. However, at this moment, her limbs were firmly bound to the wall by chains, and she could only silently endure Dark's abuse.
"You said that you had a chance of winning now, but what happened in the end? You've disgraced me!" Nethery lashed out a few more times. When he was about to attack, he, who had given up on training as an exorcist and became an ordinary person since he was young, was already panting and unable to exert any strength. At this moment, Dark's Daoist robe had become tattered and barely hung on his body. Blood-colored whip marks could be seen from below, but it gave off a sense of poignant beauty.
"Hmph, in the end, only your body is still useful. However, Seven Nights actually messed up the mission for me, what trash!”
Upon hearing Qi Ye's name, Dark's dull expression finally showed some reaction. He turned his gaze to the ring hidden on his chest. She knew that her father's decision would turn the short and beautiful life in the Jianshan mansion into nothing, so she left this sustenance. Even so, the trauma in her heart was still dozens of times deeper than her physical body.
(Serves you right...) As expected, this ending is the most suitable for a woman like me who is soaked in mud.）Dark laughed at herself in her heart. Although she had long been used to following her father's orders, she had also fantasized that after becoming the head of the Jianshan family, she might be a little closer to Qi Ye than Yomi.
Just as Jian Shanyou drank two sips of red wine and was about to continue, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Jian Shanyou's eyes revealed a look of joy. He tidied up his clothes and walked out.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Jianshan. I'm Kazuhiro Santuhe. Mr. Gan Le introduced me.”
"I am Jian Shanyou, Mister San Tuhe. I have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in.”Just like that, Nethery shamelessly lured San Tuhe in front of her half-Luo daughter.
"You are…! Father, he's an evil spirit!" Dark realized that San Tuhe and Hong were the Gu Masters who controlled the spirit butterfly that night. He subconsciously wanted to attack them, but he helplessly found that he had no way to resist.
"I knew it long ago." Jianshan You looked impatient." So what if it's an evil spirit? Since I can do business with demons, it's not a big deal to work with evil spirits. Moreover, San Tuhe was recommended by Mr. Gan Le. You should know that Mr. Gan Le is trustworthy. Without his help, we would have been finished long ago.”
(trustworthy? An intelligence agent who didn't even want to reveal his face and real name?）San Tuhe revealed a subtle smile. If it wasn't for his own goal, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with this Gan Le. No one would feel comfortable with the feeling of being high and mighty and treating others like puppets.
Ignoring Dark's attempts to stop him, Jian Shanyou asked San Tuhe for confirmation," Did you bring the thing?”
"Ah, of course." San Tuhe took out a scarlet gem and handed it to Nethery.
"Oh, is this the Slaughter Stone? Would he be able to obtain great power by using this Dark?”
"Of course, I have experienced it myself.”San Tuhe pushed aside the bangs on his forehead to reveal his left eye. There was a huge Slaughter Stone embedded in it, making the young man's originally delicate face look demonic.
"Father, you can't! We can't trust him!" Dark's resistance was only met with Dark Wuqing's rebuttal.
"Humph! If it weren't for you, trash, I wouldn't have fallen to this state. Those old men are all asking for an exorbitant price. For the position of the family head, I've gambled everything. Now that things have come to this, I have no way out! Dark, you don't want to go back to your lowly life, do you? You will help Father, right? Just like all along, you have to repay me for raising you!”
"Father, stop…Ah!" Dark's plea turned into a painful moan. Dark had already pressed the Slaughter Stone against her chest without caring about anything else.
The skin around the Slaughter Stone melted like butter. Then, countless tiny blood vessels were melted and attached to the red gem. Dark felt as if his heart was beating violently, and then his entire vision started to shake. The burning liquid spread from his chest to his entire body, and his consciousness gradually blurred. The beautiful memories gradually disappeared, and the darkness bound by the morality of human society spewed out.
"It's so hot!" Nethery let go of the Slaughter Stone and stepped back. The stone gave off a dazzling red light as if it had a life of its own, and it only calmed down after a while.
"Is this considered a success?" Nether asked suspiciously as she looked at Dark, who seemed to have no change at all.
"Sigh, it's quite perfect! I didn't expect it to be so smooth."
"Then let's begin the second part of the deal.”
"I'm happy to help."
===============================================================================
Two days later, in the morning, I remonstrated with Shan Nairo's study.
Nairo was writing her will. With the victory of the Zhenwu Battle, although it had not been officially announced, the obstacles to Yomi's succession as the family head had been cleared. What he needed to do next was to make as many preparations as possible for her and finally officially abdicate at the appropriate time. Just in case, he planned to make a will and announce it at the family meeting as soon as possible.
Boom! The loud thunder interrupted Nairo's thoughts. Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, he thought of the three people who had rushed out in the morning after receiving the report. Recently, the evil spirits in Tokyo were unusually active, and there was a sign of a storm. The anomaly three years ago had taken away Kagura's mother's life, forcing his old friend to inherit Shireiki. Although he had the help of the contract, Shireiki's physical condition was still worrying due to the consumption of his spirit.
"Who is it?" Nairo turned around and stared at the door of the study. At the same time, he held his walking stick, which hid his usual long knife.
"Uncle."
"Dark?" Nairo showed a suspicious look. As the lightning lit up, the slightly dim study was completely illuminated. It was indeed Dark standing there, but the girl was wet from the rain at the moment, and the nagi sword in her hand exuded an amazing murderous aura. More importantly, Nairo sensed the presence of the evil spirit.
"It's all because of you..."
"Dark, what's wrong?" Nairo asked as she pulled out the hidden sword from her walking stick.
"If you hadn't adopted Netherworld, my life wouldn't be in such a mess!”Nagasaki attacked Nairo like lightning.
(What a strong power. It's obviously different from before.)。。And was he already unconscious?）The attack of the Nairo Blade found that the opponent's strength was far stronger than the last battle of Zhenwu. At a close distance, he could see the eyes of the dark being eroded by resentment, but he did not care about this now. His body, which had not been in actual combat for a long time, seemed to be on the verge of collapse under the opponent's storm-like attack.
(There's no other way. If this continues, there's only death.)）The experienced Nairo made a prompt decision to face the Nagasaki knife that came from the side.
Although he had dodged the tip of the blade, Dark, who had been greatly strengthened, had no intention of retracting his weapon. The long handle swept towards the old man with a whistling momentum. Nairo used her left hand as a shield in front of her body. With a crack, the bones in her hand broke into two. The remaining impact sent the old man flying. Nairo's body hit the bookshelf heavily. The intense pain in her chest indicated that a few of her ribs were broken, and her internal organs might have been injured. However, Nairo's spirit was not knocked down. He knew that he had won. His long sword accurately pierced through Dark's throat and cut off his windpipe. In a breath, Dark's corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
Nairo panted for a while and took out his phone with difficulty. The pain and blood loss made his vision a little blurry. After a few presses, a small hand gently pulled the phone away from his hand.
"I can't let you do this, grandpa.”
At some point in time, many blue spirit butterflies suddenly appeared in the study room. A beautiful white-haired youth revealed a faint smile under the dim light.
" Who are you? Dark is you..."
A spike pierced through Nairo's throat, and the rest of her words turned into blood that flowed out of the crack. San Tuhe threw the phone onto Nairo's body. The screen showed Yomi's name, but its owner could no longer press the last call button.
At this moment, the sound of dripping water came from behind the young man. Dark, who was originally dead, stood up like a zombie and pulled out the long sword from his neck. The long and narrow wound did not spit out blood, but quickly closed and disappeared.
"This way, the position of the head of the Jianshan family that your father has always dreamed of will be in your hands. Aren't you happy?”San Tuhe teased.
There was no reply from the study. Lightning lit up the study again, and Dark's expression was like that of a dead man.
