Seiji and the others sensed the presence of the Red Team participants.
The moment the battle began, the Bloodwine Spirit would allow all participants to sense the names and locations of the enemy's participants until the first group of losers appeared.
Even with the strange mist and cluster amaryllis flowers appearing, the Bloodwine Ritual tournament continued "normally" … This fact proved that his guess was correct.
Not long after, a Red Team participant was judged to have lost.
How could he be so fast?
There was a certain distance between the starting areas of both camps. Even if the Blue Team participants were fully prepared and moved at high speed the moment the battle started, it was impossible for them to kill one of them so quickly, right?
Could it be that the members of the Revenge League had obtained a great power that allowed them to move at high speeds and kill with a single strike? Or could he snipe the enemy from a long distance without being hindered by the fog?
This was practically cheating … Seiji couldn't help but think of the various cheats in the PUBG games in his previous life. Among them, there was no lack of unimaginably strange functions, so much so that they were jokingly called immortal simulators, and the battle of cheats was a fight between immortals.
So, what was happening right now was actually players with cheats oppressing high-end players?
That seemed to be the case … Now that he thought about it, the entire scene wasn't so serious anymore.
No, no, this is a serious situation. This wasn't a game, it was a real battle, and people would die!
Just as he thought of this, Seiji suddenly felt his body stiffen.
This feeling was …
Pa pa pa pa —
Many black arms suddenly emerged from the floor and grabbed his legs and even his body!
Just like the soul attack on the ship … No!
Little Shi, Kanna, and Izawa were still nearby, and they were all captured by the black hand as well!!
Screech!
Shika Kagura condensed an ice blade in his hand and cut off the black hands in an instant!
Cha cha cha cha cha —
She quickly got rid of all the people who were pestering her, and then helped Seiji out of his predicament.
Kanna and Izawa then worked together to cut off many of the black hands binding Kanna and Izawa. However, Izawa and Izawa collapsed after they broke free.
"Kanna! Izawa-kun! What happened!? "
Seiji checked Izawa's condition and discovered that Izawa's body was stiff as if it had been frozen solid.
Kanna was the same.
What was going on?
Before he could continue looking, a low sigh sounded in the room.
A few blurry figures appeared. There were men and women, dressed in ordinary clothes. Their faces were blurry, and their bodies were surrounded by black mist. They let out strange sounds that sounded like sighs and screams.
They were approaching Seiji Mukai and the others … more accurately speaking, they were approaching Kanna and Izawa who had collapsed to the ground!
Shika Kagura decisively unsheathed his sword and slashed!
The two figures were cut in half, but they only floated back for a short distance before returning to their original state.
Immediately after, the black mist around the two ghostly figures surged and enveloped the young girl's shikigami!
Shika Kagura used a barrier to block the black mist.
Seiji slashed at the other ghostly figures, but the result was the same.
If direct attacks didn't work, then …
Purification!
A part of the black fog that was purified immediately dissipated.
It worked! Seiji then formed hand seals and combined it with his bonded spirit's power to cast the Evolved Purification technique!
Whoosh … In an instant, a large patch of black fog and a ghostly figure were purified.
As long as he knew how to deal with it, things would be easier.
"Evil spirits, retreat! This is my command!! "
Seiji said a classic line as he continuously cast Purification and eliminated all the ghostly figures.
Everyone then fell silent for a moment.
"Urk …" Izawa made a sound as his body started moving.
"Izawa-kun! Are you alright? "
"Your humble servant is fine … where's Master … Master!"
Izawa shook Kanna's shoulder. Soon, Kanna also woke up with a cry of surprise.
Seiji asked about the situation and learned that both of them had fallen into a terrifying hallucination, as if they were having a nightmare.
Just as they were struggling to resist, they suddenly woke up.
Were these sudden hallucinations caused by the black hand and the ghostly figures?
Judging from the situation just now, that was likely the case.
Let's not talk about the mastermind for now. Those ghostly figures … Could they be the former residents of this area? Seiji wondered to himself.
Could they be undead spirits?
He instantly recalled what he experienced during the incident with Ling Yang.
Black fog … humanoid figures … frightening hallucinations … they were quite similar to the current situation!
The return of the dead … was the current situation related to the mysterious power that Little Ling Yang and Mayuzumi possessed, the power to summon the dead from the dead?
He recalled hearing that during the One Hundred Demons incident ten years ago, apart from Mayuzumi and Ling Yang's mother, Hinako Tachibana, there was another girl who had "fallen ill"!
That girl's name was …
"Risa Kobayakawa …" Seiji muttered to himself.
"Please … stop …"
The next second after he said her name, he heard a faint voice!
This was the same mysterious voice that he had heard on the ship. Now, he could hear it more clearly. He could tell that it was a girl's voice.
"Who are you?" Seiji looked all around him. "Are you Risa Kobayakawa!?"
"Stop … that person … otherwise … we'll all die …"
Seiji heard the girl's words coming out intermittently.
"By stopping, do you mean stopping the current situation from developing? Who is' that person '? If we can't stop it, will we 'all die!?' "Seiji kept asking questions.
There was no response.
The voice stopped.
Little Shi, Kanna, and Izawa were all looking at him.
"I thought of something, and then I heard a mysterious voice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to obtain any useful information …" Seiji explained the situation to them.
He felt that the mysterious female voice was trying to express something like: I need to stop someone's actions. Otherwise, everyone will die!
Yet, he didn't know who this person was.
'Having a clear name is the most important piece of information, mysterious lady. ' Seiji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At this moment, one of the Red Team participants was judged to have been defeated. The "Enemy Perception" stopped there.
Were the eliminated Red Team participants defeated by the Blue Team, or were they defeated by the ghostly figures that suddenly appeared?
…
'I told you before, don't stop me.
Besides, I've already started, and I can't stop.
'Haha, I was indeed an idiot, just as you said.
'I never expected myself to be so foolish, and I don't regret it at all.
'This is the one thing I regret the least in my entire life.
'And the one thing I regret the most in my entire life is that I ignored you that day.
'If I ignored you at that time … you wouldn't have died.
'You would have grown up normally, become a good woman, find a gentle husband, give birth to a pair of cute children, and live an ordinary and happy life.
'If I could go back in time … or if I could go back to the moment when I first met you, I would definitely stop myself, even at the cost of killing myself.
'Haha, why can't I say something like that?
'If you want to viciously curse me, then come back.
Come back to me alive, and you can curse me however you want.
'I want you to come back.
'I don't want to care about anything else … This ridiculous world is only capable of killing people, not bringing them back to life. It's so unreasonable!
Many people deserve to die, but some people deserve to be brought back to life. You're one of them.
'I'm willing to pay anything for this.
If everything I have can be exchanged for a new life for you, that would be the best deal in the entire world.
'If it's impossible … I can still go see you.
