"ah!!"
Screams of different timbres filled the room, and the girls present screamed at the same time.
Even at level 5, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but exclaim.
Except for Toyama Haruka, who had been expected for a long time, only Kanzaki Kaori and Tsuchimikado Motoharu could look at the head on the table without changing their expressions.
"Put it away quickly," Shiranui Hitomi also looked ugly, "I'm going to disinfect the table later!"
Put the head of the land on the left back into the box, and Ling Xingye closed the lid tightly.
He was also taken aback by this sudden "gift".
"Who sent it here? What's the purpose?"
Not long ago, Ling Xingye almost killed the Land of the Left, but in the end he was brought back by two saints.
I didn't expect him to die in the end, and I don't know who did it, let alone the purpose of the other party sending his head.
"Could it be Xingye's potential ally who helped you solve the enemy?" Misaka Mikoto guessed.
Shokuhou Misaki immediately retorted: "Use your brain, this situation looks like a demonstration no matter what?"
Kanzaki Kaori's expression was solemn: "No, no matter what, Xingye, you'd better be careful recently."
"Elder Sister is right," Tsuchimikado Motoharu continued, "The top boss of the Orthodox Church was killed, and the head was sent to you. This situation is very likely to be a conspiracy. It really is to provoke you and the Orthodox Church. war?"
With that said, he stretched out his hand and pulled the box in front of him, and opened it again.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Kamijou Touma hurriedly distanced himself, he couldn't accept something as heavy as a head.
"There are other things, haven't you noticed?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu opened the box without changing his expression, and reached in to fiddle with the things inside.
The girls turned their eyes away.
After a while, he found an envelope from under the box. The shock just now was so great that almost no one noticed the envelope in the box.
Open the envelope, and inside is a simple note.
"Ling, this is your unfinished mission. This time we did it for you. I hope you won't let us down again next time."
The final signature is "crow".
"Yanshi?" Ling Xingye was in shock.
He didn't expect that it was Yanshi who killed Zuofang Land in the end.
But when you think about it, it also makes sense. After all, the automatic puppets and the crusaders were fighting in full swing at that time, and it was possible to take advantage of the chaos to kill the seriously injured Left Land.
"I'll ask Hua and the others later." After thinking for a while, Ling Xingye decided to discuss with Hua Qishier, "It's not a trivial matter when it comes to Yanshi. It's really inexplicable. They're a gang..."
"Then, what should we do with this?" Hitomi Shiranui asked, pointing at the box.
"If you don't mind, leave it to me." Tsuchimikado Motoharu said.
"Hey, what do you want a dead head for?" Kamijou Touma asked.
"Well, it's not a dead head, but the head of the 'Left Land'." Motoharu Tsuchimikado looked at Kanzaki Kaori, "There must be many people who want it, right?"
For example, various magical associations, such as... Puritanism.
Although the possibility is very low, the idea of exploring the knowledge and power of the God's Right Seat through this head must be shared by every magical power.
In fact, at this time, Kanzaki Kaori should represent the "Church of Necessary Evil", that is, the British Puritan Church asked Ling Xingye for this head.
But for various reasons, Kanzaki Kaori somewhat rejected this approach, so Tsuchimikado Motoharu could only do it for himself.
…
Rome, St. Peter's Basilica.
Late at night, there was silence in the spacious church.
In the darkness, only a beam of light was cast on the front podium, illuminating the figure standing there.
The man stands at the foot of the cross and appears to be praying.
Suddenly, there was a movement from the side.
Another person came to the podium.
This is a tall and thin red-haired man. Although he is only standing in the corner, his presence instantly fills the entire church.
It seems that he is the only one in the whole world, and everything else is eclipsed... Only the burly man in front of the podium still exudes a steady "brilliance", vaguely showing a tendency to rival him.
"Just received the news," the burly man, one of the right seats of the gods, said without looking back, "the head of the land has been found, and it is in Academy City."
"Oh, really." The red-haired head of the God's Right Seat, Right Side Fire said casually.
"Do you want to take it back?"
"No need, that kind of thing..." Youfang Zhihuo said casually, "Whatever you want."
"Are you serious?" Backwater turned around and looked over.
"The worst thing is to be obtained by the Puritans, even if they can obtain the knowledge and spells of the land." Right Fang Zhihuo sneered, "That's all."
Backside Zhishui nodded, stopped insisting, and said instead: "Feng's current situation is not optimistic."
In the decisive battle, the wind ahead used its own "wind" spell to affect the "water" part, and then successfully launched the full power of the queen's fleet, shooting down the floating fortress in one fell swoop.
But what followed was the saturation attack of countless automatic puppets.
The land on the left was killed by concentrated fire during this process, and the crow took advantage of the chaos to decapitate it.
And Front Wind's "God's Wrath" was not so effective against automatic puppets, so he was seriously injured under the crowd tactics.
In other words, the combat power of the God's Right Seat is directly halved.
But at this moment in St. Peter's Basilica, both Water from the Back and Fire to the Right both looked calm, mentioning this fact as if casually saying something trivial.
"You didn't disband the Knights, do you want to continue the war?" Water from the Back cut into the topic.
"Of course, the war has only just begun."
"But you've won."
"That's not a victory," Rightfire said. "You know, our real goal has not been achieved."
"You mean the capture of Academy City?" Backwater snorted coldly, "Only relying on that crusader? How is that possible?"
"If it wasn't for the automatic puppets and puppet masters to disrupt the situation, my strategy would be achievable," said Youfangzhihuo.
"Is it really that important to capture Academy City? No hesitation to do that."
"Of course it's important," Right Fire said without any hesitation, "In order to save the world, I must take down that city."
"Okay, it's time to prepare for an alliance." Youfangzhihuo didn't give him a chance to speak, and said directly, "Now I can only let you go to Chengjiao—after all, Puritanism should be on the side of Academy City, right? "
The water behind was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Huo, are you going to start a third world war?"
"As far as the result is concerned... yes." Youfang Zhihuo nodded, "You are a former mercenary, so you are still afraid of war?"
"My purpose has always been to save people, even in war, it is to minimize the overall casualties."
"That's it," Fire of the Right snapped his fingers, "The capture of Academy City is a necessary sacrifice to save the world. For the sake of the whole world, the destruction of only one city is worth it, isn't it?"
"Just because it is Academy City?" Asked the Water of the Back~www..com~ because it is the intersection of all problems—magicians, superpowers, puppeteers, automatic puppets...it is like a whirlpool, Everything is involved. "
"So destroying it solves all problems?"
"No, but it was necessary and a minimal sacrifice."
Rear Water strode down the podium: "The smallest sacrifice? According to what you said, this range can be even smaller—just find the core of the core."
Right Side Zhihuo asked from behind: "What are you going to do?"
"Solve the core of that problem." The water behind did not turn his head, "Before that, don't rush to start a war."
…
In the early morning of the next day, Ling Xingye received the letter of challenge from the water behind.
