"Who's going to die?"
Seiji asked. However, he didn't receive an answer.
Kamitani seemed to have left already.
He was standing alone on the rooftop with a strange red card in his hand. Something flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he heard the sound of wind. It was the sound of something rapidly descending from the sky!
Seiji looked up and saw a robot … no, a person wearing Iron Man's sci-fi style armor descending towards him!!
Seiji instantly widened his eyes.
Although he already knew that there was advanced technology in this world, he was still shocked when he personally saw a piece of metal armor that seemed to have come out of a movie.
This armor, or perhaps it should be called a mechanical exoskeleton, was black in color. There were some symmetrical gray runes on the surface. The entire body was smooth and smooth, making it very inconspicuous at night. Not only that, it was also camouflaged, making it difficult for ordinary people to discover.
* Boom! * With a loud sound, it landed smoothly in front of Seiji.
It wouldn't have been strange if it had landed so quickly on the rooftop. Yet, it landed so smoothly that it didn't even make a loud sound. This was definitely an extraordinary item.
"Are you alright?" Yui's voice came from inside the helmet.
"Sister Yui?"
"It's me."
Once again, he left a deep impression on Seiji as he descended from the sky. His coolness was off the charts!
Seiji's cheeks twitched.
"Thank you for rushing over to help me, but he … Itsuki Kamitani has already escaped."
Yui looked around.
"As expected, he escaped," she spoke in a tone that indicated she expected this.
"Do you know him?"
"Yeah."
Seiji wanted to ask further, "Are you familiar with him?" However, he felt that he wouldn't receive an answer even if he asked.
"He left something like this behind. He said that he had a game card …"
He showed her the blood-red card and explained what had just happened.
Yui looked at the card.
"Indeed, this could be called a game card. With your current power level, it's fine to play with it," she stated lightly.
"As the price for requesting help, you can enter the game and see what tricks he has up his sleeves.
You probably won't die, but you might be seriously injured. Be careful.
There's no specific mission goal. Do whatever you want. Just report to me afterwards. "
After saying this, Yui leapt up and flew into the sky.
Immediately after, the armor glowed with a silver light, and suddenly turned into a beam of light that shot into the distance, disappearing from Seiji's sight.
So cool … I want that kind of equipment too!
Although he had used it in the Soul Realm, that was a long time ago. Moreover, imaginary items couldn't be compared to actual equipment.
Owning a set of steel armor is a man's romance! But it must be very expensive.
Seiji really wanted to ask more about Kamitani, the game, and the armor. However, his older sister left just like that. She was truly a heroic heroine.
Let's go home.
…
Itsuki Kamitani was a member of the Himiki race.
The Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan, also known as the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan, was a relatively special existence among the peak forces.
The most trusted referee was only the surface. What truly set them apart from the other factions was their unique internal system.
The people with the surname Himiki were the core of the entire faction. However, most of the members of this family weren't related by blood!
That was because obtaining this surname didn't depend on blood. It depended on ability.
A child born to a married couple with the surname Himiki wouldn't immediately obtain this surname. The child would have to be tested at a certain age. Only if the child passed the test would the child be given this surname. Otherwise, the child would have to use their old surname or another surname.
On the other hand, any child who didn't have this surname but belonged to another faction would be able to become a member of the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan after passing the test.
There would be a test every year. Every member of the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan would be evaluated every year. If the evaluation was too low, they would be stripped of their surname.
Objectively speaking, the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan wasn't a real family. Rather, it was a group of people with this surname.
The ceremony to obtain the surname was a powerful contract ceremony. The person who obtained the surname after signing the contract would treat everyone else who obtained the surname as their real family! This effect would last for several years even after they lost their surname.
That was why the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan was able to get along just like a real family. In fact, the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan was even more like a real family than some families who were related by blood but got along poorly.
And, the entry and exit of members would strengthen the relationship between this family and other families.
As the core of this faction, the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan didn't have much of a barrier with the other families. Their relationship with the other top-level factions, such as the seven major Yin Yang Master families and the three major samurai families, were quite different.
Strictly speaking, the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan was a more suitable name for this faction. However, the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan preferred the name of the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan. Still, they didn't mind.
Among all the factions, the Kamitani Family wasn't particularly special.
After Itsuki Kamitani reached a certain age, he passed the test and became a member of the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan. However, he was stripped of his surname after only two years. The reason was that he had severely injured another member of the Hundred-Eye Ghost Clan!
Kamitani was a member of Soul World and an important member of the Messengers. He was a high-level Spirit Controller who could control a high-level spiritual creature known as "swallow". It was possible that he could control other high-level spiritual creatures as well.
Kamitani would report this person to Soul Society and receive the corresponding points after verification.
That was the information that Seiji obtained from Soul Society after he returned to his home.
Because of this, Seiji owed another 10 points.
Points were the equivalent of Soul Society's currency. His starting point was 100 points. Requesting reinforcements took away a total of 1000 points! That made him owe 900 points in one go.
However, he now had a new mission in his quest window: [Investigate Strange Dreams]. He would receive 1000 points after completing this mission.
The client's name was: Nebula.
Nebula … this was Yui's code name. He felt that it was quite suitable.
What was this "strange dream"?
Seiji typed in this name and requested for more information.
This information was priced at 50 points!
"Bro's points are already negative 910. Another 50 points won't be a big deal." Seiji ignored the negative cost warning and decided to request for more information.
A new page soon appeared on his computer screen with a list of words.
Seiji carefully read it and gradually furrowed his eyebrows.
Not long after he finished reading, the page automatically closed.
According to the information he saw, this was indeed a game, a game of death played in a "dream"!
Up until now, only ordinary people had died. There were no Spiritual Ability users. However, that didn't mean that Spiritual Ability users wouldn't die.
Entering the dream would be risky, not to mention that Kamitani was also here.
Seiji took out the red card and looked at the pentagram on it.
He was allowed to bring another person with him … should he go together with Little Shi?
He didn't want his adopted younger sister to be in any danger. However, she was still his Spirit-branded Retainer. If he didn't tell her anything and entered the strange dream by himself, she would definitely be sad afterwards.
He should explain the situation clearly. Otherwise, what kind of partner would they be?
After Seiji made his decision, he stood up and went to look for Little Shi.
…
Karen stood on the rooftop of a building in confusion.
All she could see were black buildings with flames burning everywhere. There were corridors and pipes intersecting with each other in the air. There were also various platforms in various locations, creating an incredibly complex terrain.
She could see some figures moving around. There were sounds of gunshots, roars, maniacal laughter, fighting … all sorts of sounds that were filled with madness could be heard.
This madness combined with the stuffy heat in the air made her feel rather uncomfortable.
"What … is this place?"
"This is a dream." Kaori's voice spoke up beside her.
Currently, she was wearing a bright red one-piece dress and a strange butterfly mask. Only her smiling mouth and glowing eyes could be seen. She gave off an inhumanly seductive aura.
"Enjoy it, Sister."
