Chapter 703: You've Found the Right Person
Lin Qiye and Amemiya Haruki stood before a small cave entrance, gazing up at the unimaginable scene before them, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Lin Qiye reached out and gently touched a wooden teacup hovering in the air beside him. The cup slowly rotated under the pressure, drifted in the direction of the force for a moment, then gradually stopped, still suspended in mid-air.
"What on earth is this place?" Lin Qiye looked around in bewilderment. "How are these things floating in the air? Why is there a ruined human city at the bottom of the deep sea?"
Amemiya Haruki fell silent for a moment before answering, "My master said this is a place of chaos and disorder. It existed before the gods created the world."
Before the gods created the world?
Upon hearing those words, Lin Qiye pondered thoughtfully.
The gods' creation occurred over a hundred years ago, coinciding exactly with the arrival of the Mist. This meant this place existed before the Mist descended? Or perhaps... the Mist's arrival created this place?
Due to the pale blue glow drifting across the sky, they could barely make out their surroundings without flashlights. To avoid alerting the mysterious figure who had entered the ruins ahead of them, they turned off and put away their flashlights simultaneously.
Amemiya Haruki was about to search the area when Lin Qiye stopped him.
"Wait a moment." Lin Qiye looked up at the sky. "I need to run an experiment..."
Amemiya Haruki was somewhat confused but still stood quietly in place, waiting for Lin Qiye's action.
Lin Qiye raised the tip of his right finger, and a hint of night colored his eyes. At the same time, an extreme darkness rapidly spread outward from his fingertip!
【Forbidden Ruins】.
As the darkness expanded, the night in Lin Qiye's eyes grew denser. His entire aura suddenly changed. He simply stood there, yet emanating a faint imperial majesty that made anyone who glanced at him feel an urge to kneel in worship.
At this moment, he seemed to have become the master of the night.
Amemiya Haruki stood nearby, acutely sensing the change in Lin Qiye's aura, and surprise flickered in his eyes.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Qiye use Forbidden Ruins, and the first time he had felt this kind of presence emanating from the other person. Though he didn't know exactly what Lin Qiye was doing, he could more or less guess that this was a unique ability of the invaders.
As the darkness spread, most of the street was covered. A hint of joy appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes.
He had activated Forbidden Ruins on such a large scale, yet that mysterious gaze still hadn't fallen upon him, as if it simply didn't exist. This proved that this so-called land of chaos and disorder was outside the coverage of that mysterious gaze.
Here, he could freely use Forbidden Ruins.
This was undoubtedly tremendous good news for him.
Lin Qiye deactivated Forbidden Ruins, and the surrounding darkness receded like a tide back into his body. He turned to look at Amemiya Haruki beside him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"This helper you found... you've got the right person..."
Before Amemiya Haruki could react to what Lin Qiye meant, the latter slowly extended his hand and pressed it against the ground beneath his feet.
In the next instant, dozens of massive summoning magic circles bloomed open simultaneously!
In the dazzling, dreamlike glow of the summoning magic, Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the vast ruins of the city before him, murmuring to himself:
"No matter how well you hide, you're still just one person...
But I,
Have the entire Asylum of the Gods."
...
On the other side of the ruins.
A figure completely shrouded in a black cloak glided like a specter through the empty, deserted streets, leaving not a single trace on the ground.
His toes touched a step, and his entire body floated up onto the ruins of a building half-buried upside down in the wasteland. He ran along the near-vertical wall to the very top of the building's remains, where he paused and swept his gaze across the dark, vast ruins, his brow slightly furrowed.
"So far, not a single alarm has been triggered... Could I be wrong? Aren't those two people targeting this place?"
If Lin Qiye had been there, he would have recognized that the figure was speaking not Japanese, but standard Mandarin Chinese.
He slowly raised his head, and beneath the black hood was a young man with a crew cut, his eyes sharp and wolf-like. At this moment, his brow was tightly furrowed, as if deep in thought.
His name was Wei Dong, a member of the Oath Society, one of the "paratroopers" participating in the "Human Enclosure" destruction plan.
Ever since seeing those two young people at "Hokkaido Yamazaki Appliance Repair," he had noticed their strangeness. Though their clothing obscured it, he could still sharply detect the long blades hidden at their waists.
He had been混入 this country for several months and knew of the Magatsu Blade's existence. If he guessed correctly, those two young people should be the masters of two Magatsu Blades.
But in Wei Dong's eyes, whether Magatsu Blade masters or oracles, they were all just locals within this "Human Enclosure." For him, who was carrying out the "Human Enclosure" destruction plan, they were all enemies.
He had already installed the signal transmission device. The "sentinel" would arrive soon. To prevent any mishaps with the plan, he had to eliminate these two enemies as quickly as possible.
Magatsu Blades couldn't be used inside this ruins, so if he wanted to kill these two Magatsu Blade masters, this was the optimal battlefield!
However, he had laid countless alarm traps along the way and waited quietly for quite some time, yet not a single one had been triggered... This made him begin to doubt his own judgment.
Could it be that they really didn't come here?
Just as Wei Dong was racking his brains, the pixel-style electronic watch on his wrist suddenly lit up, and a scarlet triangular symbol appeared on its face. In the upper left corner was a serial number: "016."
Alarm number 16 had been triggered!
They were here!
Wei Dong's eyes sharpened, and his body swiftly leaped down from the rooftop. His toes lightly touched the ground, and his form moved like a specter, racing toward a certain direction.
In his mind, he had already memorized the location of every alarm he had set. At this moment, his movements were completely unhindered, sprinting all the way to the vicinity of alarm point 16. His gaze swept across the area and finally locked onto a specific spot.
He silently climbed up the ruins of a four-story building and came to a dim, small window. He removed the gun case from his back and opened it, revealing the complex, scattered parts of a firearm inside.
His hands continuously drew out the components from within, rapidly assembling them into a sniper rifle, which he steadily braced against the window frame.
Through the high-powered scope, he began to carefully search around the location of alarm point 16.
Finally, he found the figure who had triggered the alarm.
It was...
A cute little raccoon
wearing a deep cyan nursing uniform.
