Standing before the crowd was a woman with a somewhat melancholic demeanor.
This woman was incredibly beautiful, not only possessing fair skin but also a tall and fit physique. At the moment, she was dressed in a sleeveless tight-fitting tank top with black pants below, and a knife strapped to her back.
"Indeed, it's her."
Yoshida Hirofumi instantly recognized her: "Quanxi from China."
"I heard she also has a few Devil underlings." Tamaoki immediately looked around: "The strength of these folks should not be underestimated; we must find them quickly."
As they were speaking,
Footsteps were heard from not too far away.
Turning their heads, they saw four women slowly approaching Quanxi.
These four women were Devils, each with distinctive looks; the prettiest among them had horns on her head, and another had a living black ponytail.
Of course, the appearances of the other two were somewhat hard to accept; one looked somewhat like a stitched-together zombie woman, and the other was even more bizarre, with an eye hanging out and something that looked either like brains or intestines coiled on her head, ending in a butterfly knot, and a face bearing a foolish grin.
"Ladies."
At that moment, Quanxi, standing at a distance, also spoke up, her gaze fixed on Hayakawa Aki and Reze as she said to her Devil underlings: "As usual, leave the leftovers to you."
"No problem, Lord Quanxi."
The Devil girl with the ponytail nodded with a smile: "Lord Quanxi will deal with the chainsaws, and as for us…"
Saying this, the Devil girl looked around, then suddenly fixed her gaze on the guards, showing a confident and triumphant smile: "Hehehe, we'll just snack on some small fries, like these fellows here."
"Okay."
Quanxi didn't think too much, nodded her head, and then refocused on the situation in front of her.
Truth be told, Reze was quite difficult to handle since she was a Devil as well, and Quanxi herself was also a Devil, but she didn't want to reveal that just yet, so she drew her sword and charged forward.
Seeing this, Reze also got ready to attack.
But before she could make a move, suddenly a sword was thrust in front of her.
The newcomer was Hayakawa Aki, who could predict the future and, with the help of the tailed beast cloak, was able to keep up with Quanxi's attack rhythm, using his large sword to block her attack.
"Huh?"
Quanxi was a bit surprised to see this.
But surprise aside, she didn't hold back at all. Seeing her attack was ineffective, she immediately stabbed with another knife towards him, but Hayakawa Aki directly raised his hand to meet it.
"Rasengan!"
Suddenly, a red energy ball appeared in Hayakawa Aki's hand, instantly causing Quanxi's long knife to shatter into pieces.
Seeing this, Quanxi had no choice but to step back, then immediately kicked towards his lower body, but once again, Hayakawa Aki predicted it in advance, directly pressing down the Rasengan, forcing Quanxi to retreat several steps back.
"I really didn't expect that."
Quanxi discarded the broken knife in his hand, then calmly said, "To think the Special Division could actually train someone like you."
"Speak Japanese to me properly."
Hayakawa Aki furrowed his brows and then launched another attack at the opponent.
However, this time Quanxi took it seriously, and after exchanging a few moves on the spot, since they couldn't use ninjutsu at close range, Hayakawa Aki didn't gain any advantage. Instead, he was hit by two electric shots from the opponent.
Fortunately, Hayakawa Aki had the Tailed Beast cloak, and coupled with having consumed the golden apple and essence berries, after being hit by two punches, he only stepped back a few steps and then charged forward again. Quanxi was stunned to see that his punch didn't hurt the opponent at all, indicating that the opponent was indeed no ordinary creature.
"Reze, Kobeni, you guys go and save the others first."
Hayakawa Aki tried to block Quanxi while also shouting to the two behind him.
"Do you not need help?"
Reze asked.
"Saving people is more important..." Hayakawa Aki said, then was kicked by Quanxi again. This time, it seemed like Quanxi used some martial arts technique to launch his attack, kicking him and sending him flying.
However, Hayakawa Aki was resilient. Having only flown a few meters, he quickly flipped in mid-air, then plunged his great sword into the ground to forcibly stop his backward momentum. Landing on his feet, he pulled out his sword and charged again.
Seeing that Hayakawa Aki could indeed tie down Quanxi, Reze immediately went out to heal other teammates.
Now, the ground was covered with the bodies of puppets, which meant blood bags were everywhere. Just grabbing a few and squeezing them could bring several fallen people back to life.
Meanwhile, on another front.
Quanxi's four Devils set their sights on the guard team.
"Let's quickly take care of these small fries," said the Devil girl with a black ponytail... that is, Pingtsi, with hands on her hips and laughing: "It seems Lord Quanxi has found a match. We need to help her out."
The other three Devils nodded and took a combat stance.
"Let me see..."
As Pingtsi spoke, she made a circle with her hands, and at the same time, her ponytail extended forward, turning into a magnifying glass, seemingly a reconnaissance ability: "Okay, I see it."
"This guy's contracted Devil is a stone, haha, that's really stupid."
Pingtsi laughed, shifting her gaze from Kusakabe to Yoshida Hirofumi: "This handsome guy contracted an octopus, but his contract price... tsk, feels a bit tricky to deal with."
She frowned slightly.
Pingtsi then slowly turned her attention to Nyarlathotep: "Hehehe, now it's your turn, the black-skinned man who just keeps laughing stupidly. Let me see you..."
"Fuck you, don't..."
Fang Mo hurriedly tried to interrupt, but it seemed he was a step too late.
It appeared that Pingtsi had conducted some reconnaissance on Nyarlathotep, and then the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she instinctively stepped back: "…Eh?"
"?"
The Devil girl next to her looked at her puzzledly.
"Uh... Ahhh..."
Suddenly, Pingtsi's knees weakened, and she subconsciously knelt on the ground, her expression turning to one of horror and despair: "How... How could this... be... Haha, hahaha!"
However, just as she was halfway through, she suddenly burst into laughter, completely losing her sanity, laughing while drooling incessantly: "It's over... This world has been observed by those guys... Hehehehahaha..."
"Hahaha!"
Nyarlathotep also laughed upon seeing this, turning his head to mock Fang Mo: "Well, it seems that the Devils of this world are equally foolish. I've been to countless worlds, but this is the first time I've seen a little one daring to pry into my true appearance..."
"In a sense, this is indeed the pinnacle of seeking death," Fang Mo said speechlessly, covering his face: "So what did you show her?"
"My boss's concert."
Nyarlathotep's face showed a pleased smile: "What, you want to listen too?"
"Can I?"
Fang Mo asked curiously.
"You could, but it's not easy to arrange," Nyarlathotep spread his hands: "My boss is in a half-asleep, half-awake state right now. I'm afraid if you go there insisting on blowing trumpets, and if you wake Him up, then I won't be able to come out and have fun anymore."
"Oh, then forget it."
Fang Mo didn't insist and simply waved his hand.
During the time Fang Mo and Nyarlathotep were chatting, the other Devil girls seemed to have noticed Pingtsi's problem as well. Among them, a Devil girl with her brain exposed also grabbed her shoulders, tentatively shaking her a bit.
"Halloween?"
"Ha... Hahaha..."
Pingtsi laughed dumbly, completely losing her sanity: "I really want to kill myself, haha..."
"Halloween!"
The Devil girl mentioning Halloween puffed up her face, suddenly shouting at her seriously: "Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!"
"Cosmo…"
Surprisingly, I don't know what the other party did, but it seems like it was some kind of cognitive rewriting technique. In any case, Pingtsi seemed to regain a bit of sanity: "Did I... go mad just now? What on earth is happening? I remember catching a glimpse of something extraordinary, as if my brain was trembling..."
"Halloween!"
The Devil girl known as Cosmo pointed at Nyarlathotep, then made a big X with her hands: "Halloween!"
"Right...right..."
Hearing this, Pingtsi seemed to recall a little: "I remember now, it indeed was some kind of psychic attack... Yes, that must be it, as long as I don't observe him, it'll be fine!"
Pingtsi seemed to have suddenly understood, the whole person suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder they were standing there obediently letting me observe, it was such a despicable plan, using anti-surveillance Devil abilities to mentally contaminate me, haha... I was almost outsmarted, as long as I don't look at you, it'll be fine!"
While saying this, Pingtsi suddenly got up from the ground: "We are the women of Lord Quanxi, don't even think about defeating us!"
Then, in the next second, Pingtsi suddenly activated her surveillance ability again. This time, however, she was "smarter" and didn't bother with Nyarlathotep again, instead turning to look at Fang Mo.
"Fuck you, don't..."
Fang Mo quickly spoke up to stop her, but it seemed to be a step too late.
"Plop."
After surveilling Fang Mo, Pingtsi didn't even have time to utter her mad words and directly fell to the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices, her eyes wide open in horror, as if she had seen some unspeakable terror.
"Hahaha!"
Nyarlathotep laughed even more joyously.
"Halloween!?"
Cosmo exclaimed in shock, but upon seeing Pingtsi's tragic state, she seemed to get angry as well, directly lifting her head to look at Nyarlathotep and Fang Mo, her hands pulled back to her waist, as if she was charging up for something: "Halloween, Halloween..."
And the other two Devil girls seemed to get angry as well, ready to launch an attack.
But at that moment, a small knife suddenly flew in from a distance. Cosmo's entire attention was on Fang Mo, completely unaware of the sneak attack, so the knife went straight into her temple and out the other side, causing her to lose consciousness and fall to the ground in an instant.
Then, a series of footsteps came from not far away.
Everyone turned their heads to see, only to find that someone was slowly walking towards them from the shore, holding another small knife in his hand.
"What's the deal with this Devil."
After coming over, he also took a look at Pingtsi lying on the ground: "Didn't seem like you guys made a move just now, her cause of death was...?"
"Too curious?"
"Excessive stupidity?"
Fang Mo and Nyarlathotep looked at each other and said,
"Guangxi will not let us go." After listening, Kishibe also spoke up, "Anyway, be prepared, she should be coming over soon."
"Wait for me."
However, Fang Mo didn't care about Kishibe's statement and directly forced his hand onto his shoulder, "Regardless of whether she comes over or not, where is my Sex Devil?"
