Chapter 160:
When the support team of the Wishing Cup Company 2 arrived, the entire nuclear bomb crater was covered with flesh and blood. From a distance, it looked like a piece of female body’s face and limbs. It looked like a third-level adult special The setting for the photoshoot.
Other companies also found that fire strikes were like fertilizing and watering the 'flower', which actually promoted the growth of the other party, so the attacks were temporarily stopped.
Li Pan stood on the roof of the building that was almost covered with vines, waving the signal baton to greet the company. This time came Ah Qi, Ashiya Shiki, Yamazaki Ayato and the armored aerial vehicle. Eighteen.
Kotaro went to get the shrine. Rama and the others were neither monster apostles nor super prosthetics. They couldn't withstand such a nuclear-contaminated environment. They simply didn't want to risk their lives and stayed in the company to help return files.
Floater Shiba suspended on the roof of the building, opened the cargo hold and spit out a pile of equipment for him,
"Boss, the Security Bureau has issued the highest level nuclear crisis and biochemical crisis alert, requiring companies to temporarily cease fighting, and organize an emergency for citizens in the old capital area. Evacuated.
Until the monster is dealt with, other companies will not attack us for the time being, but we are also prohibited from attacking each other. Failure to comply will be punished by the committee." Li Pan put on a military chemical protective suit and rolled his eyes
.
"The radiation is so strong now that the drone chip has been fused. Who knows what is going on inside, and what will happen if you don't comply."
Floating Car. 18,
"Boss, as soon as the cyber attacks stopped, let's stop it. Well. Unless a top-level prosthetic body is exploded by a frontal nuclear explosion, it will not be affected at all in a contaminated area. I have detected that other companies have sent out scientific research teams, probably trying to enter the underground to seize the Holy Grail. We have to hurry up."
" Okay, okay, finally they helped a little bit. Anyway, let’s hold a pre-war meeting first.
Everyone has seen that the rollback failed, 0791035 went berserk, and the Holy Grail was lost. What should we do next to recover the monster? Everyone can talk freely."
At this time, Ah Qi had already brought the paper shredder with a floating truck and handed Shiranui Kiriko's personnel files to Li Pan.
Li Pan took it and said, "Shiki, this spiritual hub belongs to the Dragon King. You are a professional. Can you handle this situation? Re-seal it?" Ashiya Shiki
pinched the paper man, one eye was blue and the other was red. , while commanding his two big ghosts, one green and one red, to fly towards the flower of flesh and blood in the distance to spy, he said, "I ca
n't do it, not to mention that the monster has already occupied the great spiritual center, I don't have the ability to shake the earth's veins The magic power, and after the Ashiya family governor Rokudo in the past succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to lead the Onnyangliao Master to hold a sacrificial ceremony to increase and perfect the seal of the Dragon King Temple. In order to prevent it from being cracked, this secret technique was passed down orally
. , but I did not inherit the family governor in a formal way, and I have never learned the sealing method at all.
And we don’t have much time. I think Shiranui Kiriko borrowed the power of the Holy Grail and the power of the devil to forcibly destroy the six seals, But her power may not be enough, and the seal was only torn off a corner.
But according to the records of the Ashiya family, once the seal is completely unlocked and the Dragon King at the bottom of the Pacific wakes up completely, it will inevitably turn the world upside down and shatter the world.
And now she is still If you continue to borrow the power of the Holy Grail to forcibly break the barrier, sooner or later, the Dragon King will wake up and completely destroy the Night City, no, the entire Honshu Island." Li Pan frowned, "You are really sure
. Is there a dragon?"
But there was only one sign in the ruined temple, and if there really was a creature as big and powerful as a dragon, why didn't he notice any 'qi'... Ashiya Shiki said seriously,
"
Eight out of ten Nine is true. Although we have never seen it, elves have always known that there are dragons in this world.
According to the records of Yin and Yang Lao, the elves originally discovered that there was a mythical species in this world, a sleeping dragon, and then sent out starships to immigrate Come.
They borrowed the breath and heartbeat of the dragon to activate the great spiritual veins of the 0791 earth, and then transformed the magic power, and compiled and built a spiritual hub magic network that surrounds the entire world. From then on, you can use magic elves in any corner of the world
. , sacrificial rituals and magic circles used magic.
It can be said that it was relying on the Dragon King that they were able to complete the magical transformation of the earth in 0791.
But then the Dragon King suddenly woke up, which directly caused the magic network to go out of control, and a big explosion destroyed the elves' imperial capital and The Star Boat not only destroyed the ancient kingdom of elves, but also directly caused the thousands-year-old magic network to go out of control. As a result, the inheritance of elven magic civilization in 0791 was directly discontinued, and even caused these elves to degrade to the level of rural savages. Therefore, when the first generation of Lord Oda arrived, he was very capable
. It went smoothly, and the world was easily suppressed with only a cruiser and a group of indigenous reformers.
Therefore, sealing the Dragon King and preventing the demon dragon, the remnants of ancient elves, and various mythical species from awakening has always been the goal of the Yin and Yang Lao, and later the Imperial Guard. The main task of the court."
Li Pan frowned, "Then what's wrong with these Koga people? How many years have passed and they still want to release the seal and steal the power of the Dragon King?" Ashiya Shiki was curious, "Them? Sure enough, Shiranui is not the only one
. Really? So all the Koga 21 are involved?"
Seeing Li Pan nod, Yamazaki Ayato thought thoughtfully,
"That's not surprising. In fact, even before the defeat of Takamagahara, the extremists within them started to Secretly researching legion technology, elf magic, and other black technologies that are explicitly prohibited by the committee.
After all, the backwardness of technology is becoming more and more visible to the naked eye. There are always people who feel that if they can master magic or some lost legion technology, there may be a chance to overtake them in a corner and turn defeat into victory. "
Ashiya Shiki also added,
"I don't know if it is possible to overtake, but it is not necessarily impossible. Those elves have long relied on the power of the Dragon King to construct the planet's earth vein magic network. As long as the magic network can be repaired and passed through the Dragon King By reactivating it, you can directly activate the magical power that has been dormant for many years.
Even if it fails, the Dragon King is still very powerful. If you use a little bit, you can benefit a lot. As long as the small chance of the Dragon King waking up does not happen, there will be no risk.
I'm just curious about how they plan to repair the magic net after they have unlocked the seal. After all, this is the secret technique of elves. Only the ancient magic of elves can repair and activate the leylines of the magic network. And it stands to reason that these information have long been treasured by Gao Tianyuan..." "Ah
! "Yamazaki Ayato reacted, "Last time when she sneaked into Hakone Mountain to get the jar, Miss Shiranui was discovered after stealing some elf magic book.
Later, President Okubo heard that the manager liked elf antiques, so he not only handed over the jar, but also handed over many elf cultural relics collected by Takamagahara, and later gave them to Miss Shiranui for filing..." Li Pan stared at him
, "You didn't say this earlier! ? "
Yamazaki Stoneman sighed and glanced at the stone bracelet on his wrist,
"This...because I didn't have the heart to think so much at the time..."
Ashiya Shiki suddenly sang a song, and then the palms of his hands huffed. A fireball the size of a baseball was gathered out of thin air, and then he threw it casually. The fireball flew ten meters away and exploded on the armor of the aerial vehicle, scorching the reactive armor. Aerial vehicle. Eighteen
, "Hello! "
Ashiya Shiki spread his hands, "No matter how she did it, I'm afraid she really activated a little magic net. The basic fireball technique before could only light a cigarette, but now it's almost like a grenade." Yamazaki Ayato turned to look
at The faces of the women who spit out 'pollen' said,
"The power of elven magic relies on a high concentration of magic elves. I think the dust that this monster is expelling from the body should be an aggregation of magic elves that has been activated in some form." Li Pan listened
. He kept frowning, but gradually figured it out.
Yes, I should have thought that Shiranui Kiriko hid in the hot spring for so long just to plot Tai Sui. But when she gave up the jar so simply, didn't she have a better goal? Judging from today's situation, I am afraid that she has already conducted quite in-depth research on elf magic.
No, it's not just Shiranui Kiriko, it seems that the twenty-one Koga family have already made plans to seal the Dragon King and activate the magic network.
Moreover, looking at the preparations made by the kunoichi for various sacrificial rituals in order to forcibly break the seal set by Ashiya Rokudo at the Dragon King Temple at that time, one can also guess that this was either the whim of one person, or the collective behavior of the twenty-one Koga clan.
Of course, now that everyone is dead, it is difficult to tell whether they are controlled by elves and want to recreate the mythical era, or they are extremists like the Red Tengu who want to use the technology of the elves and magic army to revive Takamagahara and fight against the people of space again. of.
But purely from the perspective of personal gains and losses, this is actually beneficial to the ninja.
After all, unlike Iga, Koga believes that the Demon Sealing Seal is completely evil.
The borrowed demonic power is not your own. It is always unstable and has huge hidden dangers. There is always the risk of losing control and becoming a ghost. Even Koga Asahime can't hold back her nerves.
But as long as the seal is opened, the power of the Dragon King is used to reshape the magic network and revive the magic of the elves, the stronger the magic effect is, and the power of the ninjutsu inherited by these magic ninjas will naturally become stronger and stronger.
This is what fundamentally breaks the professional ceiling and raises the upper limit of ninjas' combat power.
It can even be said that this is the ninja version, breaking the 'shackles of heaven'.
At that time, the imperial court ninjas and the Koga clan no longer need to be vassals and cannon fodder of other forces. They can completely use their own power to control their own destiny.
It's just that they tried hard, but lost everything at the last minute...
No, there was no chance of winning...
Aqi adjusted the plug of the drag strip, turned on the switch and tried, "Boss, do you want to win?" Use a shredder to delete files?"
Li Pan hesitated for a while,
"She looks like a ghost, and she can't be saved by going back to file. But after all, she is a colleague of our company. What else can you do to turn an out-of-control ninja from a demon into a god? Is there any way to stay awake? Try your
best one last time." The paper figurine in Ashiya Shiki's hand suddenly turned into two balls of fire. It seemed that Aoki Akiki failed to sneak far,
"There is no way, the demon fused with her is too There are many more. In addition to the Great Tengu, I also saw Tawen Tenwang and Hachiman God. I am afraid that the Koga people have sent all their jinchūriki. I think it is better to get rid of her early than letting
this monster wake up the Dragon King and put her to death. It would be better if the Night City was reduced to ruins."
Yamazaki was skeptical,
"But does deleting files really work? Filing cabinets can't reset the power of the devil, right?
And so far, this monster has not actively attacked the city. .Perhaps Miss Shiranui has not completely lost her rationality?
And there is a Holy Grail, a ley line, and a Dragon King underground. What if the file deletion fails and the monster goes completely berserk?" Ashiya Shiki thought about it
. Thinking,
"Ordinary people simply can't bear the power of so many demon gods, and they will collapse on their own long ago. I think her ability to survive until now depends entirely on the Holy Grail.
But in the end, what is the Holy Grail..."
Li Pan frowned,
"Wait a minute . Wait, you don’t know about the Holy Grail? Don’t the Ashiya family have records about the Holy Grail?” Ashiya
Shiki smiled bitterly and said,
“Boss, that is not something in the Onmyoji system at all. I have to learn enough on my own, how could it be possible? We all know, and I was expecting you to tell me."
Li Pan actually didn't know anything about the question,
"Uh... I only know that that thing can quench the blood thirst of the vampires, and it can also purify rainwater, and can make people rejuvenate. The function of restoring youth is quite complete..."
Yamazaki Ayato explained,
"It is a monster that can fulfill people's inner desires as long as it drinks the liquid contained in it. I think Miss Shiranui can survive the blow with the help of the Holy Grail. It has supported me until now.
So no matter what, we still have to retrieve the Holy Grail first, and then we can deal with this monster."
Li Pan and Ashiya Shiki turned to look at him.
Yamazaki Ayato spread his hands,
"As soon as the bidding proposal was approved, the company faxed the Holy Grail file. Didn't you read it? Miss Shiranui must have read it..." Aqi handed over the
document,
"Here's the boss. , you were unconscious when the file was sent over. Ashiya-kun happened to be not here either."
Li Pan took it and flipped through it, and Ashiya Shiki also came over to look at it.
The 'Holy Grail/Wishing Cup', as Yamazaki said just now, is a wishing cup that can truly grant wishes. And the key is not what liquid is put into the cup, but what your subconscious wants to achieve when drinking this 'wine in the cup'.
For example, in theory, it can be an enhancer to increase combat power, spiritual power and superpowers, a universal elixir to remove curses and plagues, an enhancer to increase IQ and strength, an elixir to rejuvenate one's youth, or an instant restoration of everything. Damage recovery medicine, in short, any holy water can be summoned.
Of course, if you feel that the mutton soup you drank is mixed with acid rain, it is not a problem to rinse your mouth with some pure water...
Li Pan understood a little bit, "She wants to resurrect the Koga ninja! So, bring the dead back to life." The medicine can also be made, right?"
Yamazaki Ayato shook his head,
"I don't think so. Boss, please see that the company's temporary worker test says that it will only work if the temporary workers drink it by themselves and with their own expectations. It is useless to give it to others.
Of course, the company has already conducted the corpse resurrection experiment, and it is not effective.
I think this should be something close to a placebo of psychological suggestion, but it is 'comfort' and 'expectation' ', it will really come true."
"Then why is she still struggling?" Li Pan was puzzled for a moment, "Since she stole the Holy Grail after reading the company's instructions, she should know that the Holy Grail cannot resurrect the dead, right? ?"
Ashiya Shiki touched his chin,
"I know what she wants to do. She wants to try to resurrect the dead first, and then let them use the Holy Grail to restore themselves."
Yamazaki stared at him,
"What!? Such a thing can be done The company can't give back the deceased!"
Ashiya raised his hand and summoned another fireball. This time the fireball was as big as a basketball.
"Elf magic can do it. Elves have resurrection magic, and they also have spells to exorcise the dead and summon the undead. They are different from the puppets made by Onmyoji. They are real people. But those are very ancient and very advanced
. Magic requires not only extremely high magical attainments, but also the concentration of magic power, which cannot be achieved without completely activating the magic network."
Li Pan suddenly understood for a moment, and then remembered the magic books left in his brother's refrigerator by his clone. and Solomon gold coins, nodded,
"Yes, what science can't do, with magic, it can indeed be done."
Yamazaki Ayato's expression collapsed for a moment, looking like what the hell kind of story am I living in? It looks like in the settings.
Floating Car. Eighteen, "Hey, throw that ball over again, be careful I'll crush you!"
Ashiya Shiki shrugged and waved his hand to disperse the fireball.
After talking so much in the pre-war meeting, Li Pan had a rough idea.
"So, 0791035 is trying to use the power of the Holy Grail to restore the ancient elven magic network, and use the resurrection spell to resurrect her relatives and friends.
But let's not mention that this may awaken the sleeping Dragon King, and the committee will not allow legion magic to be restored on the ground. It was discovered.
When the time comes, there is no need for the Earth Dragon to stand up, and it will be easy to just sweep over the Zhengzheng Agreement. So we still have to seize the Holy Grail, and we have to do it as soon as possible..." Floating
Vehicle. Eighteen, "Boss, I don't want to disturb you to discuss tactics. , but you really have to hurry up."
Then she projected the 0791 Earth, low-Earth orbit star map.
This should be a real-time projection of a spy satellite. I saw dots of golden starlight appearing out of nothing, emerging from the dark vacuum, and then gathering together like fireflies.
The large group of fireflies condensed and formed, then gradually extinguished, and then, without warning, a regular octahedron suddenly appeared in the vacuum.
Li Pan could only use the word octahedron to describe it. Although the company's last dreadnought was also an irregular tetrahedron, it could still look like a 'spaceship'.
But the thing in front of me looks like a crystal. Some sides reflect the earth and the vacuum like a mirror, some sides are dark, and some sides are completely transparent. If Shiba hadn't added auxiliary lines to outline the rough outline in the live projection, others might have thought they were dazzled.
Li Pan, Shigui, and Ayato asked, "What the hell is this?"
The three of them looked at Ah Qi together, and this time Ah Qi also showed her hands, "I don't know..."
Float Car No. 18, "According to the TSC spy satellite The attached ship identification system speculates that this is most likely the projection of the eleven-dimensional battleship in the three-dimensional universe.
Although my satellite detector is the latest and the best, it is only the 'most cutting-edge technology available on the market' and can only The projection of the ship in eight dimensions was detected.
Moreover, the radar could not illuminate the hull at all, and was shielded directly from the outside, so we could only roughly simulate and draw this plane. I don’t know the specific model and ownership."
Wow... an eleven-dimensional battleship sounds so cool...
Li Pan made a country bumpkin's voice, "How much is this thing worth?"
Float Vehicle. Eighteen,
"I don't know, but I heard that this latest The ninth-level high-dimensional warships are specially used to hunt down the remnants of the Legion.
Some can directly collapse the entire star system into a black hole and seal it. Even WARP500 can't escape!
Boss, if you don't take action, the earth, no, our solar system ! They will be exterminated as remnants of the legion!"
Li Pan sighed,
"How can these remnants of the legion be so virtuous and capable...Okay, okay, there's no time to talk nonsense, start taking action to seize the Holy Grail. Then... delete 0791035."
