Chapter 742: Insect Disaster
Tokyo.
Traffic lights flashed.
The bustling streets of the central commercial district were alive with crowds flowing through the intersection like tides, rushing toward their respective destinations.
It was noon, and the flow of vehicles had thickened once again, moving orderly through the city with each change of the signal light.
Then, at the end of the road, the traffic suddenly came to a halt.
Traffic in this entire sector instantly paralyzed.
A figure in green robes was walking slowly down the center of the double yellow lines. It was a woman in her thirties, her wide sleeves hanging naturally to the ground, while terrifying poisonous insects crawled out from her sleeves one after another, landing on the asphalt and spreading wildly in all directions.
Wherever she passed, vehicles stopped, all beings knelt in reverence, trembling in fear.
She was the Seventh Oracle Envoy of 【Pure Land】, "Insect Disaster."
The poisonous insects crawled out from her sleeves like waves, spreading frantically outward from her as the center, searching every corner of the city.
Even now, the whereabouts of Yuzuri Takishiro and Yuzuri Kurotetsu had yet to be found. Among all seven Oracle Envoys, aside from the Second Oracle Envoy "Heart's Calamity," she was the most skilled at searching and locating people. However, "Heart's Calamity" had already died in Osaka some time ago, and 【Pure Land】 had been seized by others, making it impossible to reshape and regenerate "Heart's Calamity." Thus, the task of finding the Yuzuri father and son fell solely on her shoulders.
"Pay respects to the Oracle Envoy——!"
"Pay respects to the Oracle Envoy——!!"
"..."
Passersby around knelt on the ground. As voices rang out one after another, Insect Disaster walked forward without looking sideways, carefully searching every corner of the vicinity through the poisonous insects she released.
BANG——!!
Suddenly, an ear-piercing gunshot echoed through the sky.
A high-speed rotating sniper bullet sliced through the air, fired from a small window on a矮小 building on a street several blocks away, carrying terrifying kinetic energy toward Insect Disaster's head!
PUH!
The bullet struck Insect Disaster's brow, punching a gruesome hole straight through. Her head tilted backward from the momentum, bending down parallel to the road surface, but her feet remained rooted like bedrock on the ground, her body curved in a bizarre arc.
From that gruesome blood hole, swarms of tiny white insects crawled out, rapidly repairing the shot-through brain. The bullet hole in the flesh was also patched up, transforming into a white circular aperture formed by clustered insects.
Insect Disaster's backward-tilted body slowly and eerily straightened back up. Several small insects were still crawling across her eyeballs, making onlookers' scalps tingle.
She turned her head stiffly, her gaze coldly fixed on the direction where the bullet had come from.
There, Shen Qingzhu observed this scene through the sniper scope, his expression slightly darkening.
What kind of monster is this...
His hands swiftly pulled back the bolt, reloading ammunition, and aimed at Insect Disaster's left eye before pulling the trigger once more.
BANG——!!
This time, a ring of ink-green light flickered in Insect Disaster's left eye, instantly locking onto the bullet's trajectory. Her head tilted slightly to the side, effortlessly evading the sniper bullet's strike.
She extended her hand, and from within her wide ink-green sleeves, her fingertips pointed through the air toward the direction where Shen Qingzhu was.
Terrifying poisonous insects crawled out from the gaps in the walls, surrounding Shen Qingzhu from all sides, rapidly crawling toward him!
Seeing this, Shen Qingzhu showed not a shred of hesitation. He directly abandoned his sniper rifle, braced his hand on the windowsill, and flipped out of the window entirely, dodging the surrounding poisonous insects' encirclement.
His body landed on the roof of a sports car prepared below the window, bounced after buffering, then jumped back to the ground and opened the car door, getting inside.
VROOM——!!!
Flooring the accelerator, the black sports car's engine let out a low beast-like growl. The wheels spun rapidly, wisps of white smoke rising. In the next instant, the entire sports car launched from its position, charging directly toward the figure in ink-green robes at the end of the road!
The window was still open. Wind rushed into the rapidly moving sports car. Shen Qingzhu calmly held the steering wheel with one hand while pulling a cigarette from his pocket with the other, clamping it between his lips. He then reached over to the passenger seat, found his lighter, and tried several times to light it in the wind before finally succeeding.
He casually tossed the lighter out the window, took a deep drag, and exhaled. The white smoke dissipated into the surrounding wind.
His eyes remained tightly fixed on Insect Disaster, who stood motionless like a boulder in the distance.
The sports car's roar screamed through the commercial center streets. With the engine at full throttle, the vehicle blazed down the street at惊人的 speed, heading straight for Insect Disaster's face!
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters...
A gleam of sharpness flashed in Shen Qingzhu's eyes. He abruptly threw open the car door and leaped out from the driver's seat!
Yet at this moment, the sports car did not stop.
A narrow iron rod had been wedged beneath the accelerator pedal, and the steering wheel was also secured. Even without a driver, it still hurtled rapidly toward Insect Disaster!
Insect Disaster stood calmly before the sports car carrying terrifying kinetic energy, a hint of disdain flickering in her eyes. Just then, the ring of light in her left eye contracted slightly, as if analyzing something. Her expression suddenly changed!
Shen Qingzhu, who had jumped out of the car, rolled several times along the roadside. He turned his head to look at the sports car rushing toward Insect Disaster, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE——!!!
An earth-shaking explosion rang out. A blinding, massive ball of fire erupted from the sports car's engine compartment, directly engulfing both the vehicle and Insect Disaster's figure. The rolling waves of heat blew away surrounding traffic lights and trash bins entirely. The storefronts of nearby shops were all shattered by the vibrations!
In the sports car's engine compartment, Shen Qingzhu had prepared twenty kilograms of explosives in advance.
He had driven with these explosives all the way from Hokkaido back to Tokyo, for precisely this moment.
Blazing flames burned at the center of the road. The poisonous insects covering the ground were all consumed in the explosion. Shen Qingzhu clutched the black ring in his hand, his eyes fixed intently on the center of the flames, as if waiting for something.
From within the flames, that figure in tattered ink-green robes slowly walked out.
Scorched flesh clung to metal bones. Wisps of black smoke rose from the joints. Insect Disaster's body hair had been entirely burned away. The green ring of light in her left eye flickered. The entire person was indescribably eerie.
This earth-shaking explosion had dissolved part of Insect Disaster's flesh. But she herself was a cyborg; killing her was never going to be this simple.
And Shen Qingzhu's preparations certainly wouldn't end here either.
But just as Shen Qingzhu was about to make his move, a figure狂掠ed from another street, slamming into the ground like a meteor, shattering the asphalt surface.
It was a figure in white robes.
Third Oracle Envoy, "War Disaster."
