But she knew that Huang Quan was much braver than her. Huang Quan was a natural exorcist.
She was placed with such high expectations that she was always under pressure.
Although she was an adopted daughter with no blood relationship, her adoptive father, who was the current head of the family, entrusted her with the precious sword Lion King, which was a treasure passed down by every generation of the Isayama family and was also a symbol of the next head of the family.
There are blood descendants in the Isayama family's side branches, and letting a person with no blood relationship become the next head of the family will undoubtedly cause jealousy and slander.
Huang Quan grew up in such an environment.
The monster ignored the ZAT team and trampled on the street wantonly. It seemed like it was chasing Huang Quan and the others.
Huang Quan knew that it was the priestess of Yuefeng Mountain who subdued Tamamonomae and sealed the evil spirit.
For a moment, she had the idea that if she went to Tsukimine Shrine for help...
But she quickly realized that this wouldn't work.
The first three days of the New Year are the first three days of the New Year, and there must be a large number of pilgrims at Yuefeng Mountain. She cannot bring danger to ordinary people.
Regardless, this is the exorcist's bottom line.
At this moment, the monster spewed out flames, not towards the ZAT team that was always harassing it, but towards the ground.
"Oh no, there's someone on the ground!"
Kotaro took off his badge and prepared to transform.
Although the vice-captain, Nanyuan and others were on the plane, he had made up his mind, even if his father said that he had to leave the earth if the identity of Ultraman was exposed, he did not intend to leave.
I'm sure his brothers wouldn't take him away by force.
Huang Quan and Kagura felt the heat wave of the flames, and the fire was coming towards them.
The monster's body was tens of meters tall, and the flames it spewed out were like sea waves.
Wherever the fire swept through, the steel bars, concrete and roadside trees on the burned streets melted and carbonized into debris.
If humans were caught in this sea of fire, they would certainly not be spared.
"Kagura!"
Huang Quan saw the panic of the passers-by, and even more so, he saw Kagura's fear.
At that moment she didn't think about anything, she just felt that it didn't make sense.
It was she who brought Kagura to Tokyo and into danger.
She was indeed afraid of death, she admitted, but even if she died, she shouldn't let Kagura encounter such a thing.
That's her sister!
"The Lion King!"
The precious sword was unsheathed, and the blade became a tangible object, tearing through the red waves of fire. With just this one strike, it actually created a gap of more than ten meters, so large that even the fire could not penetrate.
The most precious treasure enshrined in Nasu Shrine for a thousand years, the sword Lion King, a token of the head of the Isayama family passed down from generation to generation.
Perhaps it was the so-called spiritual power, or perhaps it was the result of thousands of years of faith, but it actually took the form of a giant spiritual lion that was two or three meters tall.
The greyhound roared, creating a safety island several meters square in the fire.
Kotaro loosened his grip on the badge.
"what is that?"
Kotaro didn't know, and Araki, Minamihara and the others certainly didn't understand. From an ordinary person's perspective, they couldn't see the spirit lion, they only saw the girl swinging her knife to tear open the sea of fire.
Is this something humans can do? Could this be aliens?
A tall and slender girl in a black sailor suit stood in the fire with a knife in hand. The fire never managed to invade her foothold, and Kagura and some passers-by were protected by her.
Be it the nine-tailed fox or the killing stone, she no longer cared about that. She would kill anyone who hurt Kagura, no matter who they were.
The monsters also changed.
The monster, originally in the image of a nine-tailed fox monster, is like graffiti on a canvas, with blocks of color overlapping and changing.
When it became clear again, the monster had taken on a human form.
After seeing its changing image clearly, Nanyuan took a breath, and even Araki almost forgot to breathe.
Many passers-by even screamed in fear - they were the timid type who loved watching horror movies.
She was wearing white clothes and had long hair draped in front of her, so her face couldn't be seen.
"Sadako!"
Not long ago, the image in the movie, crawling out of a dry well on TV, scared countless people. Yamamura Sadako, 40 to 50 meters tall, stood between the tall buildings.
Apparently Araki and Nanhara had seen it too.
Kagura was so frightened that she was at a loss as to what to do and her face turned pale.
On the contrary, Huang Quan felt much better after the image of the nine-tailed fox disappeared.
Female ghost, she is really not afraid of this. Killing these illusory creatures and the remnants of resentment is her daily job.
The Lion King in her hand was still unsheathed, and she was ready to attack at any time.
But she was a little confused. She originally thought that the Killing Stone had revived again, but now it seems that is not the case.
What on earth is that?
"It's a two-dimensional creature, without a concrete image. If no one is observing it, it's just a piece of graffiti on the wall."
Hearing the voice sounding a little familiar, Huang Quan quickly turned around to look.
Sure enough it is.
"Oshima Miko! Hello, I was just about to visit you."
The person who came was none other than the Hikari Miko of Tsukimine Shrine. She and Kagura had come to Tokyo by train early in the morning to visit the person, but they had unexpectedly met here.
Could it be that he was here to see her? Huang Quan was somewhat flattered.
"Yeah, I know. I was wondering if something delayed me. I didn't expect it to be a monster."
Huang Quan certainly wouldn't just come whenever he wanted to, he had made an appointment in advance. So the Tsukimine Shrine was also well prepared to receive him.
This time the itinerary was to visit Tsukimine Shrine, and we had already visited Ise Grand Shrine a few years ago.
Oshima Miko's words "I didn't expect to encounter a monster" were said lightly, and Huang Quan was thinking of the joke he had heard before, "Tokyo's specialty is monsters."
He said that after living in Tokyo for a long time, he got used to seeing monsters.
She had heard about it when she was in Nasuno and thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"Wasn't that Tamamonomae just now?"
"No, Tamamonomae has been destroyed. The Killing Stone will not appear again in the next few decades or even hundreds of years. It is something from outer space."
Not even a living thing.
According to the ZAT team's observations, it came from M81 in the Ursa Major constellation.
The Earth observed a massive collapse of the M81 nebula, destroying the entire galaxy.
But because the galaxy there is more than 10 million light-years away from Earth, that means that it was 10 million years ago that the light reached Earth and was observed.
Ten million years. Although the last era, the Cretaceous period, ended 6500 million years ago, with the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Since then, until today, these more than 60 million years have all belonged to the same era, and 10 million years ago was indeed "today".
But this kind of planetary time has no meaning for humans. Even the early Homo sapiens had not yet appeared.
It is hard to imagine that the energy traveled through tens of millions of years across the starry sky to reach the earth.
It sounds very romantic. But monsters are not romantic at all.
"The collapse of a galaxy! There are countless civilizations in the galaxy, and countless lives in the civilizations."
An unimaginable disaster, even the word "disaster" seems pale and powerless, a number that cannot be described even by trillions of trillions, a true destruction of the world.
No one knows what happened there at that time. The release of huge energy even caused the space to reduce its dimension.
Some residual resentment and energy entered the second dimension as the space collapsed.
The final reverberation fell to the earth, but became a graffiti on the wall.
Chapter 478 Graffiti
The gigantic "Sadako" stands in the center of the city.
It is not the Nine-Tailed Fox, nor is it Sadako.
It's just a piece of energy that's been flowing into the solar system and it's not even in the third dimension.
But no matter what, the shining energy from the sun and the prayers and wishes from people during the New Year, no one can explain why, make it connected with the present world again.
Whichever "lucky person" notices it, it will become what that other person imagines it to be.
Of course, because it comes from destruction, the deepest emotions it evokes will not be positive, but only fear and hatred. In any case, it will probably turn into a monster.
The only difference is what kind of monster it is.
The lucky ones passing by were Yomi and Kagura.
Perhaps it was a gift from the city of Tokyo to welcome the two of them. After all, the most famous specialty here is indeed monsters.
When Huang Quan and Kagura noticed it, it reminded them of the things they feared most in their hearts.
"So it was because I was too cowardly that it turned into a nine-tailed fox?"
Huang Quan felt that she should be ashamed. As an exorcist, she was defeated by her own fear.
"It has nothing to do with cowardice. Everyone has something they are afraid of. But you protected others."
The Sunday priestess was obviously just an elementary school student, while he was already a high school student, but in front of her, Huang Quan felt like a child.
The other party's comfort even made her feel much better.
Somewhat incredible.
Huang Quan was afraid of the nine-tailed fox, which was her family's mission. But what Kagura was afraid of was a bit cheap, it was actually a fictional character in a movie or TV series.
"Kagura is just like a child." Huang Quan, feeling a little more relaxed, teased.
The ZAT team tried to attack "Sadako", but just like the nine-tailed fox before, it had no effect.
