Chino put down the mirror and said in a calm tone: "Tell me, what are the steps required to decode the seal?"

 Lu Yuqing: "First, I need your blood, and then..."

Kino interrupted her with a chuckle.

Blood?

 Jokes.

He had always taken good care of things like blood in his previous life, and never let anyone outside of his past get his blood.

There is so much DNA information in blood that if a drop of blood is taken away, there will be almost no secrets left in it.

Although this world does not have DNA identification technology, don’t forget that this is a world with soul magic and onmyoji.

Different from childish things like pricking a villain and drawing a circle to curse you, in this world, there is a real way to curse people by taking their blood.

At this time, Kino looked at Lu Yuqing with a playful look: "Do you still hate me? Do you want to take my blood and use your onmyoji to curse me?"

Lu Yuqing said anxiously: "I'm not as vicious as you think! I tell you, this is not a joke, you must take it seriously! The seven stars in a row will bring seven disasters - earthquake, storm, gray curtain, withering, blood rain,

Corpses rise and annihilate - this is definitely not just yours! Even if you don't take it seriously, please think of the people of Twilight City!"

“Goodbye, Miss Lu, I hope you like your life in Twilight City.” Kino left without looking back.

 “You!...” Lu Yuqing was very angry.

 After Kino left, the officials were all whispering.

Niko scratched her head and head for some reason. She stood up, her eyes a little wandering, and asked tentatively: "Can I ask a question?"

 Lu Yuqing: “You ask.”

Niko asked cautiously: "Where is the 'Seal of Divine Punishment' you mentioned? Why didn't I see it?"

Lugo rushed to the door and pursed his lips: "It's on your neck. He's gone. Of course you can't see it."

"No, no..." Nicole's eyes were confused and she whispered, "I didn't see him when he was here. Isn't his neck white and clean? What kind of mark of punishment... is it too small?

, I didn’t see clearly?”

Lugo smiled angrily and said, "Why do you have eyes? You can't see a mark bigger than a moon coin?"

Niko looked strange: "I really didn't see it...Have you all seen it???"

 The officials present nodded their heads, indicating that they had seen it.

Nicole kept blinking, like a confused little rabbit: "Hey...are my eyes bad..."

"You're too short, so you're looking at it from a wrong angle, right?" Lugo smiled and pushed Nicole out, "Okay, don't make trouble, let's go back to the mansion, and don't talk nonsense when we get back. Your Excellency has been troubled recently.

Enough has happened."

 Everyone's attitude was very positive. Nicole was confused for a moment and had doubts about herself. She couldn't help but muttered: "Okay... maybe I didn't see it clearly..."

After Lugo and Nicole left, the other officials talked with Lu Yuqing, disposed of the body, cleaned up the blood stains in the room, and then left.

　The house is cold, empty and lonely when people walk around.

 In silence, Lu Yuqing looked at the place where the broken blade fell, his eyes unconsciously showing sadness and covered with a layer of mist.

 In my mind, the voice of 11 sounded: "Don't show such an expression. You don't know if Chino will continue to observe you in some way, so you can't reveal any flaws."

"Well..." Lu Yuqing quickly wiped away her tears and her expression returned to calm, "By the way, that girl just now..."

　　11: "I saw it. It was indeed something unexpected. It doesn't matter. I'll just handle it."

 …

 That evening.

Kino sat in front of the bed and stared at himself in the mirror.

 The mark on the neck is very clear, with seven intertwined lines, mysterious and treacherous.

  Could this mark be related to the Samsara Team...

 If so, what are their plans?

It's impossible to really curse him to death, right? This is too bloody.

 It is definitely not as simple as casting a curse. This reincarnation team has been planning for so long, so it must have a deeper plan.

While Kino was thinking, the little black cat got into the house through the window and turned into a human form.

Chino: "Did Lu Yuqing do anything unusual?"

"No, I just ate, rested, read...and then wrote a letter to the capital." Hanyi took the letter out of his arms and handed it to Kino, "I intercepted it from the inn."

Kino opened the letter, read it and threw it into the fire.

 There was nothing substantive, just an explanation of recent experiences and then scolding him for three pages of paper.

Chino continued to ask: "Did she cry or show sadness?"

Hanyi shook his head: "No, everything is normal."

Chino leaned against the edge of the bed and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I can't believe that I actually made a mistake in my judgment about the aliens..."

Hanyi sat on Kino's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and put their foreheads together, with a mysterious smile in the cat's eyes: "If you are so entangled, why don't you just kill her? There are many Onmyojis, and

She’s not the only one who can decipher the seals.”

Chino: "It has nothing to do with whether I can decode the seal or not. She is a golden dragon with one claw. If I kill her, the Gyeonggi court will put a reward on my head and announce it to the world."

Hanyi: "I didn't ask you to kill her with your own hands~ She could 'accidentally' choke to death while eating, 'accidentally' fall down the stairs and break her neck, and there are all kinds of 'accidentally'... It doesn't matter if she is

Visitors from outside the world, as long as the person dies, all worries will be gone~"

Chino: "In your eyes, am I the kind of lunatic who kills people randomly?"

Hanyi: "In my opinion, everyone else around me is crazy. We are the only two normal people in the world~"

The smile on Kino's face grew stronger. He pinched Hanyi's cheek and said with great interest: "I found that it was a right decision to accept you. I like you more and more."

Hanyi's delicate body was as weak and boneless as a kitten. She leaned against Kino, her red lips stopped an inch in front of his lips, and asked quietly: "So, what reward do you want to give me?"

"Reward you for doing what you want to do." Kino reached into Han Yi's ear, his voice was deep and magnetic, "You are right, when a person dies, all worries disappear. Do it cleanly and don't make people suspicious.

Come to me."

Hanyi rubbed Kino's cheek with his face, meowed sweetly, and said with great interest: "As you command, Master~"

 Without any warning, changes occurred suddenly.

"Rumble--" The unique silence of the night was broken. The sky and the earth spun for a moment, and the terrifying sound of the earth shaking filled the sky and could not be heard without stopping.

earthquake?!

“Boom!” The sound continued uninterrupted, as dense as a thunderstorm, and as dull as a landslide.

The room was shaking violently, as if it had lost its foundation and turned into a rootless raft floating on the sea, shaken by the violent waves.

Chinuo and Hanyi suddenly had a look in their eyes, and jumped out of bed at the same time. The floor was shaking wildly, and the intensity was no less than a high-level earthquake. For a moment, they were a little unsteady on their feet.

But the strange thing is that this feeling is different from ordinary earthquakes. The earthquake feels like being on top of waves, and everything is twisting and shaking.

Now it is a feeling of being thrown with a huge force and falling continuously, but it is also terrifying.

Hanyi transformed into a little black cat and landed on Kino's shoulders. The latter broke out of the door and flew into the air using the power of his mind.

Looking from a high place, Dusk City is in chaos, with the administrative residence as the center, and the ravines on the ground spread out like a winding dragon.

A large number of buildings collapsed in the violent shaking, and some ravines even spread to the end of the horizon, as if a demon was about to break out of the ground.

 People ran out of their homes in terror and scurried through the streets like disoriented ants.

Chino has read scholars’ documents before. Twilight City is not in an earthquake zone. Since the founding of Doguland, there has never been an earthquake in Twilight City. What is going on today?

 Samsara Squad Attack?!

Not too possible...

The scope of the earthquake's destruction has enveloped the entire city. If the Samsara Team had such a weapon that could change the geological structure, they should have used it long ago and would not have left it until now.

  Furthermore, it is obviously unreasonable that the fourth wave of invasion would include such weapons of ultra-large-scale destruction.

Kino landed with the little black cat, and quickly summoned senior officers and issued an order: "The four city gates were immediately closed. Except for the necessary manpower stationed on the city wall, all other soldiers were involved in disaster relief. The reserves were also mobilized to gather the people.

Arrange them at the refuge point. Then immediately ask Paladin to bring supplies, especially medicines, and provide emergency treatment to the wounded. If you come across someone who is taking advantage of the situation or disrupting the order along the way, don’t ask me, just kill them on the spot!"
