I knew it was impossible, but the name came out faster than my thoughts.
"Nadeshiko!"
It was just a back view, maybe just a similar figure, maybe just a similar hairstyle, and she would never appear again. Everything told Tenglong that he had recognized the wrong person.
But Tenglong's heart was beating heavily. It didn't matter whether it was real or imaginary. Maybe he hadn't woken up yet and had fallen asleep unknowingly, but the important thing was that the man was really standing there.
Last night I had a dream that I was back home, sitting in the window, dressing up. We looked at each other without words, but tears streaming down our faces.
Chapter 130 Reunion
On a cool path in the autumn night, two people stood quietly (Sakura was ignored), the woman had her back to him, and after being called the name 'Nadeko', her body became a little stiff, like a sculpture.
She wanted to turn back, but she didn't dare.
That was the person she wanted to see the most after she came back to life, but also the person she was most afraid to see. She had everything that Nadeshiko had, her appearance, her voice, her memories, but she was not Nadeshiko after all. She was not the person that Tenglong had been thinking about.
She could smile and say that she was just a clone in front of anyone, except Tenglong. She couldn't give him hope and destroy it.
She couldn't bear that Tenglong regarded her as the real Nadeshiko, because she knew she was not. But she couldn't bear that Tenglong regarded her as a fake puppet, which was too cruel for her.
In that case, it’s better not to meet.
But at this moment, the man walked over while calling out 'Nadeko's' name.
Tenglong's pace was not fast. It seemed that what he crossed was not the cement road of several dozen meters, but the distance between reality and illusion. The distance between heaven and man was actually within reach.
Nadeshiko can either run or use the ring to leave.
She really wanted to do it, but her feet didn't want to. They remained fixed in place, just like the trees beside her that had taken root.
Nadeshiko didn't know how to choose, maybe Tenglong would help her make a choice in a few seconds. But before that, an uninvited guest interrupted them.
There was a ripple in the air, and 'Madam Zhoushan' appeared from the void.
Nadeshiko moved. She couldn't bring danger to Sakura, nor could she leave danger to Tenglong. So she started running again.
"Oh, can you run away?"
Madam Zhoushan was very surprised. She thought Nadeshiko would run farther, and more likely run to Gaia's side, which would be very troublesome. She only jumped a kilometer. Madam Zhoushan even suspected that her ring was broken.
But it doesn't matter. It is not a bunch of "doves". It has never thought that it can reach a reconciliation with the will of this planet through so-called negotiations. As the Speaker said, everything that stands in the way of Yabo's iron hoof will be crushed into powder by the great Dimension Clan. Weakness and compromise can't get anything, only strong power can.
Whether it is the earthlings, Gaia, or the Space Guard, the only choices are surrender and destruction.
Therefore, for this puppet given by the Yabo people themselves, since it has hindered their experiments, it will not show any mercy.
The Kingdom of Light is indeed powerful, with tens of billions of Light Giants, which can make any dark forces retreat. Whether it is the Dark Emperor, the Ancient Empire, or the former overlord of the universe, the Rebrando Star, none of them dare to be the enemy of the entire Kingdom of Light. When the King of Ultra points his finger, any darkness must retreat.
But the Kingdom of Light is too greedy, and their justice is too grand. They not only want to maintain peace in a certain universe, but also want to bring order to countless parallel universes.
Ultra Star, where the headquarters of the Kingdom of Light is located, was built into a singularity where countless universes intersect. Ultra Star is in this universe, and also in countless other universes.
The population of 10 billion is indeed huge, but the number of parallel universes is infinite. The warriors of the Kingdom of Light are stationed in countless parallel universes, and each universe is checked by the power of darkness, making it impossible for them to move easily.
The desire to protect everything is powerful, but it also brings weakness. Wanting to defend everywhere means that there are weaknesses everywhere.
The only force guarding this universe is the Space Guard, led by Ultra Father.
The Yabo people didn't dare to be enemies with the Kingdom of Light, but they were not afraid of the Space Guard. In fact, they almost wiped out this team on the planet Gogda, just a little bit short.
If they can do it once, they can do it a second time.
Mrs. Zhoushan stretched out her hand towards Fuzi, but to her it was just a small insect that she could easily crush.
Nadeshiko tried to hide, but someone was faster than her.
"What are you going to do to her!"
Sakura had never seen a father like this before. Tenglong was usually gentle and polite. Whether he was a university professor facing his students or a father facing Sakura, he always looked kind, as if he would never get angry.
But at this moment, Sakura seemed to see the Dragon God whose reverse scales were angered.
She had never seen her father scold anyone, whether it was a naughty student or a troublemaker like her, let alone a fight. So when she saw her father leap up so agilely and kick so resolutely, she realized that this was a father she had never seen before.
It was indeed a powerful kick. Under normal circumstances, Teng Long would not be able to deliver a kick as powerful as this one even if he kicked a hundred or a thousand times. But in some cases, a man's fighting power would be off the charts.
The kick made Madam Zhoushan stagger and she fell. She was a robot, and theoretically her combat power was far superior to that of humans, but she was also forced back by the kick.
Tenglong's ankles were numb and painful, and the glue on his leather shoes had come undone.
At this time, Nadeshiko was no longer facing away from him, so he saw that it was indeed his wife who had passed away seven years ago and whom he missed day and night. Seven years had left no trace on her body, and she still looked the same as he remembered.
Tenglong couldn't understand it, and his reason told him that this was impossible. But humans often don't succumb to complete reason, and sometimes there is no need to think too much.
Madam Zhoushan stood up again. The kick was indeed very strong, but it did not cause any substantial damage. After all, the human body cannot break metal.
Sakura, Nadeshiko and Tentaka, to it, there is no difference between killing one and killing three.
"Don't come over here, I've already called the police!" Tenglong shouted.
This was a lie. When Sakura disappeared before, he did think about calling the police, but he was also prepared to go to the school to look for her in person. If he couldn't find her, he would ask for help. Now he felt a little regretful.
His loud shouting and cursing at this time might have attracted the attention of passers-by who wanted to call the police for him. However, this was the Penguin King Park, and at this time, there were no passers-by in the park.
Madam Zhoushan didn't mind whether Tenglong was loud or not. It didn't matter to her whether she called the police or not. If she contacted the TAC team, she might be afraid, but what was the difference between human police and civilians? They didn't even have weapons.
Tenglong approached again, but this time he was prepared, and 'Mrs. Zhoushan' easily resolved his attack. It was just a casual push, and Tenglong crossed his arms to block it, but he was knocked into the air.
That was not human strength. Tenglong even suspected that he had hit a bulldozer. He lost feeling in both arms and it was unclear whether his ribs were broken.
"Run, why don't you run?"
'Mrs. Zhoushan' sneered at Nadeshiko.
Of course she could run, the dimensional ring in her hand could take her to Izumo, and as long as she could get to Lingye, she would be safe. But no, when Sakura and Tenryuu appeared here, she had no way to escape.
'Mrs. Zhoushan' grabbed Nadeshiko's slender neck and lifted her up easily.
Nadeshiko was completely suffocated, and she had no doubt that the huge force could easily crush her cervical vertebrae.
Indeed, apart from having a dimensional ring, she was no different from an ordinary young girl. Even that dimensional ring was given to her by the Yabo people.
"Take Sakura and go quickly," Fuzi uttered a few words from between her teeth.
She grabbed Madam Zhoushan's arms with both hands, not to struggle, but to activate the dimensional ring. She wanted to take this monster away with her, away from Xiaoying and Fujitaka.
But what made Nadeshiko despair was that this time the dimensional ring did not activate. It failed.
"Are you kidding me about using the dimensional ring on us Yabo people?"
The robot had no extra expressions, and its voice was flat and without any ups and downs, but Nadeshiko could sense its mockery.
Using the dimensional ring to deal with the Yabo people was indeed a fantasy. After the dimensional anchor was blocked, the so-called ring became a purely decorative ring.
Because of suffocation, Nadeshiko's consciousness was already blurred, but at this moment, she noticed a flash of golden light from the corner of her eye. Her blurred consciousness could not see what it was, but the next moment the suffocation disappeared, and Nadeshiko fell to the ground, coughing and taking a deep breath, letting oxygen fill her lungs again.
The arm of the 'Mrs. Zhoushan' was still hanging around her neck, but it had been detached from her body. Nadeshiko threw the arm away.
There was no blood on the cross-section of the broken arm, but sparks were flashing, revealing the bare metal and original plates.
"who!"
Madam Zhoushan took a step back, and the light just now, after brushing against its elbow, stopped on the roadside tree beside it and pierced deeply into it. It was not a magical weapon, nor even a modern weapon or ammunition, but just a branch.
To be more precise, in human terms, it was an arrow.
Of course, bows and arrows cannot defeat the Yabo people, and even ordinary firearms may not be able to cause enough damage to the Yabo man-made "Lady Zhoushan". The only one who can hurt it is the person who uses the bow and arrow.
"build--"
It wanted to call out the other party's identity, but it no longer had the chance.
Lingye shot the arrow from the Demon-Breaking Bow again, and this time it directly broke its neck.
The scene of the head falling to the ground was a bit scary, but the neck was also made of metal and various broken component fragments.
The Demon-Breaking Bow of Izumo Taisha is indeed an ordinary bow and arrow, but once it is blessed with Gaia's light, the bow and arrow will become an indestructible weapon.
"Nadeshiko!"
Fujitaka didn't care about anything else. He limped forward. The autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground. Then Fujitaka found that there was no figure where Nadeshiko had been sitting. She disappeared.
Tenglong sat by the roadside, leaning against a tree, feeling lost.
If the headless robot had not been lying on the ground, he would have really suspected that it was just an unreal dream.
But was that really not a dream? My brain was boiling like paste.
"Dad, are you okay?"
It wasn't until Sakura spoke that Fujitaka noticed that his daughter was right next to him.
He originally came out to look for his beloved daughter, but unexpectedly he met someone he was obsessed with but who would never appear again. Even Sakura was ignored by him.
"I'm fine, hiss." Fujitaka belatedly realized the pain in his ankle. The soles of his leather shoes had fallen off, exposing his bare feet in white socks.
He turned his gaze to the other side, the direction from which the arrow was shot. The girl holding the ebony longbow stood there in awe, with the arrow already put down.
Although she was just a girl of about the same age as Sakura, or even younger, she exuded a fierce aura.
She was wearing a witch's costume.
Chihaya's red and white shrine maiden uniform, with a sun and pine and crane pattern on the outside, proved her official identity as a shrine maiden. She wore snow-white tabi and wooden clogs. Her chestnut-colored shoulder-length hair was tied with a red and white bow.
Miko, Son of God.
It's like a shrine maiden from the Age of Gods who slays demons and monsters, walking out of a mythological story.
Chapter 131 Guardian Spirit
"Good evening, Sakura, Uncle Kinomoto."
Ling also put down the Demon-Breaking Bow. Regardless of whether the legend of this ebony longbow was true or false, it was the real Demon-Breaking Bow in her hand.
No matter it is evil spirit, monster or super beast, you can come and speak up if you are not convinced.
"Lingya!"
Sakura cried as she ran towards Lingye and hugged him tightly. She was not afraid of the Demon-Breaking Bow in Lingye's hand hitting them, which hurt them both.
She was indeed terrified. She had been terrified since she entered the haunted house. Her father and mother were in danger. If it weren't for Lingye...
However, this was the first time she had seen Reiya in such a miko costume. It was like a completely different person.
"Did Ling really become a miko?"
"Well, a formal miko is one until the age of 22."
