Luo Wanya smiled and said, "His sense of crisis is stronger than ours."
"Why?"
"Do you know the principle that a chess player thinks ten moves ahead of him? He sees further than we do, so he knows that time is running out."
At this moment, Xiaoqi suddenly said, "Since returning to City 10, it seems like many people have disappeared."
Luo Wanyi looked up at the sky and said, "Everyone needs to work hard. This war can't be won by the boss alone."
...
...
In the northern part of city number 10, a diesel SUV is driving on the highway.
The driver was Kamishiro Sora, the passenger was Kamishiro Unshu holding a knife, and the passenger in the back was Kamishiro Unra lying down.
This young nobleman even reclined the back seat and lay down on it, wrapped himself in a blanket, and wore a steam eye mask and earplugs.
It was as if this trip had nothing to do with him.
Kamishiro Sora looked behind her through the rearview mirror, glancing at it every now and then. Kamishiro Unshu finally couldn't help but say, "Drive carefully... don't drive into the ditch."
“Oh,” Kamishiro Sora replied.
They had been away from City 10 for three days. After a brief reunion in that city, they immediately went their separate ways.
Da Yu and Zard also left.
Shindai Unra and the others also left.
The Knights Reserves continue to complete their challenges.
The members of Daylight are preparing for future battles with a parent-teacher meeting.
Everyone has their own things to do.
Suddenly, Shindai Yunxiu asked, "Didn't Brother Yunluo say that he originally didn't intend to get involved in the Shindai family's affairs? Why is he returning to the family now... We're still wanted by the authorities."
Kamishiro Sora said, "It was Qingchen... The boss talked to him all night, I don't know what they talked about, but it made him decide to go back."
The off-road vehicles gradually reached the north, but instead of heading to any city, they drove into the mountains.
These are the coordinates given by Shindai Yunluo. They are only responsible for coming here, but they don't know what's here.
At that moment, Shindai Yunxiu sat up straight, sensing that someone was watching him: "There are spies here! There are people here! 11 o'clock, 7 o'clock... why are there so many people?"
But then came the lazy voice of Shindai Yunlu from the back seat: "Drive with confidence, nothing will happen."
Under these gazes, the SUV continued its journey.
Suddenly, Kumohisa Kamishiro spotted a figure standing at the end of the mountain path in the distance: "Wait, isn't that Ryosuke Takahashi?! Shouldn't he have been killed by you, Kumohisa?"
"The one next to Takahashi Ryosuke is Muto Taka. He should have died long ago. I saw his body in the battle report; his face was clearly visible..."
As Kamishiro Yunra stood up, the delicate Tenjo-shita knelt beside him and handed him mouthwash.
"Ugh ugh~ Ah!" Kamishiro Yunra spat out the mouthwash: "Don't be surprised, they're not dead, they're not ghosts."
The car slowly stopped in front of Ryosuke Takahashi. Kumohisa Kamishiro gripped the hilt of his knife, ready to slice through the roof of the SUV and slash his way out.
However, at that moment, Takahashi Ryosuke and Muto Taka saw through the car window that Kamishiro Unra in the back seat straightened his clothes and knelt down in a dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling posture).
Kamishiro Yunra straightened his clothes, pushed open the car door, and got out. He said with a smile, "So many people are busy with important matters, so we should also be busy with some important matters, right?"
Chapter 908, The Senior Brother of the Divine Era Yunluo
The moment Kamishiro Unra stepped out of the car, all the experts nearby, draped in haystack ghillie suits, stood up and silently gathered around.
Yunxiu looked around and saw that these people were the elite young generation of the Cheshe Imperial Lineage, who should have died in espionage operations and small-scale war operations.
And now, they are all standing here alive!
"Why are they all still alive?" Yunxiu asked in confusion. "When did this start?"
“Thirteen years ago, when I was still in the army, everyone felt that even if we continued to cultivate, we would eventually be possessed by the old guys. Even if they didn’t possess you, they would force you to die in an ‘accident’ due to your threats. So, we started planning to fake our deaths back then. Rather than being killed, we would rather die voluntarily to escape,” Shindai Yunluo said with a smile.
13 years, 471 masters.
This is a ghost unit.
They live deep in the mountains, feeding on wild animals, living a life that is neither human nor ghost, barely surviving in this desolate wilderness by sheer willpower.
After thinking for a moment, Kamishiro Yunra said, "I was actually a bit tired of it and wanted to leave. These ghosts tried to contact me, but I didn't respond. Until I saw that there was another group of people working hard for this world... So, I came back."
With that, Shindai Yunlu bowed deeply to Takahashi Ryosuke, Muto Taka, and the others: "I apologize to everyone. I disappeared for a while and broke my promise to you back then."
Ryosuke Takahashi calmly said, "We willingly became ghosts in the wilderness because of your promise. After we couldn't contact you, we were angry and confused, but we believed that you would eventually come back."
Muto Taka: "As long as you come back, we'll always be here."
Kong Yu, who was standing to the side, asked in a low voice, "Why don't Yunxiu and I know about this?"
Shindai Yunlu thought for a moment: "Of course, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Until the matter is settled, nothing should be made public."
Yunxiu sighed inwardly. Perhaps many people underestimated the shrewdness of this young master. Such a big matter, even his childhood sweetheart, Shendai Kongyu, was kept in the dark. How patient he must be.
However, Kong Yu felt somewhat disappointed.
Even when she saw Shindai Yunluo sitting among a group of women, she never felt this way.
Ryosuke Takahashi said, "A figure resembling Chika Kamishiro has appeared in the north. He has gathered his old Onmyoji followers, retreated to City 22, and organized a group of supporters. They have even completely abandoned Cities 20 and 21, handing over the passage to the south to overseas forces."
Today, cities 20 and 21 are in complete chaos, and even city management officials have fled to city 22 with their families.
Kamishiro Unra smiled at the ghostly troops: "Let's go, it's time for you to return to the human world. Now that Hyakume-no-Mae has been completed, let's call up our old friends and raise a glass to celebrate in City 22!"
He got back into the car, and the Ghost Force lifted the green tarpaulin not far away, revealing the vehicles inside.
This time, however, Kongyu didn't drive for Shendai Yunluo again, but instead went to someone else's car.
Kamishiro Yunra was dumbfounded: "Huh? Where are you going! Hey!"
Yunxiu smiled wryly: "I'll drive."
“Ah, women, why are they still sulking?” Kamishiro Yunra sighed. “She was so cute when she was little.”
At this moment, Sora sat calmly in the back of the car, and Muto Taka looked at her in the rearview mirror: "We once planned to let you join the Ghost Force, because some old women also had their eyes on your body, and there was Shindai Unshu in the city to cooperate with him in his act."
"And then?" Kong Yu asked.
Muto Taka chuckled: "He said girls should wear floral dresses and walk in bustling streets, how could they mingle with us wilderness ghosts and become androgynous warriors? Later, he spent three years killing the four old monsters who wanted to possess you before you reached B-rank."
Ryosuke Takahashi calmly said, “We are all going to die, but you and Yunxiu are different. In Yunluo's heart, the day the real plan begins will be the day you are far away from the world of the gods, perhaps sunny and bright, perhaps overcast. We may die in battle, or we may not, but you and Yunxiu will definitely not die.”
Kong Yu was stunned. She opened the car door, jumped out, walked to Shen Dai Yunluo's car, and said to Yun Xiu, "I'll drive. He gets carsick easily if you drive."
Yunxiu raised her eyebrows and silently moved to the passenger seat.
Shen Dai Yunlu pouted: "Such a little girl, so unpredictable. What, you're not angry anymore? If you're so tough, then don't come over. I might as well just throw up in Yunxiu's car and die!"
Yunxiu: "..."
Kong Yu ignored him: "Where are you going?"
"Oh dear, let me die on this train!" Kamishiro Yunra cried out in despair.
Kamishiro Sora raised an eyebrow: "Where to?!"
“City 22, don’t let Kagami Chika have a chance to move the Divine Bridge.” Kagami Yunluo said, “The boss said that Maki is short of shikigami. She can control 48 shikigami now, and she will soon be able to control 96. Maybe she can control 192 next month… The boss is under a lot of pressure now. He wants to get the Divine Bridge into his hands.”
Kamishiro Sora shook his head: "But there should only be a few dozen shikigami left in the Shinto Bridge, and only a few of them are highly aggressive. Most of them are with the Onmyoji."
"It's okay, let's calm the boss down first."
They even felt that taking down the entire Sacred Bridge wouldn't be enough.
...
...
City No. 22.
The Kamishiro family has completely sealed off the first district, allowing only members of the Kamishiro Foundation to enter and exit.
The city's layout resembles a rising sun flag, with the first district being the red sun at the city's very center, and streets radiating outwards to the city's edge like rays of sunlight.
At the very center of this red sun, a magnificent Hakusan Shrine stands, with black tiles on its roof and redwood pillars.
A brown wooden torii gate stands in front of the shrine, reminding all who enter that they have entered the realm of the gods.
Inside the main hall of the shrine, the rejuvenated Chika Kamishiro kneels alone, listening to the whispers of the shikigami within the shrine bridge.
At this moment, several Onmyoji dressed in black hunting robes hurriedly walked through the shrine courtyard and knelt outside the main hall: "Ancestor, the army group has been gathered in the north, and the air fortress is on its way... However, several units have disobeyed orders. Some people do not believe that you are the ancestor, and some people have sided with Kamishiro Unra."
Kamishiro Chika smiled: "Kamishiro Unro? I didn't expect him to have some prestige within the family. Let's not worry about that for now. Let's clean up the city's sewers again and prevent Qingchen's swarm of cockroaches from invading this place."
The garrison troops sprang into action, deploying massive numbers of mechanical spiders into the sewers, which would immediately self-destruct upon encountering a swarm of cockroaches.
The soldier, wearing neuromorphic glasses, controlled the spider to search around.
To their surprise, there were no cockroaches in the entire sewer!
Strangely, after City 20 fell, the cockroach swarm from the parent-teacher association left.
This is Kamishiro Chika's biggest worry. He was the one who created the biological pollution, and he certainly knows how terrifying it would be if the 'Queen Ant' controlled the cockroach swarm.
But what about the cockroach swarm? Does Qing Chen have no intention of retaking the north?
Kamishiro Chika knelt in the main hall of the shrine, with dozens of memorial tablets in front of him.
Outside the hall, an Onmyoji asked, "Ancestor, we haven't found the cockroach swarm. What do we do now?"
Kamishiro Chika calmly said, "It seems that City 22 is safe for the time being. You may leave now. I need to focus on communicating with the shikigami. Once each shikigami agrees, we can move the divine bridge to the 'Yamata no Yamata'."
...
...
Return countdown: 49:00:00.
At this moment, Kamishiro Unra could gradually see the outline of City 22.
"How do we get in?" Kong Yu looked at the city's defense system with some tension; her hands were sweating as she gripped the steering wheel. "We only have so many people; we can't possibly break through, can we?"
