Chapter 153 43: Flowers Bloom
“While in college, Maria Yuki was a famous beauty in the school, and her husband Hisako Yuki was also in the same school as her.”
On the way to Tsutenkaku Tower, Takashima briefly described the new findings to Shirai.
“But Maria had a boyfriend before Yuki. Even her classmates at the time knew about this. But later, something happened, and Maria’s boyfriend became Yuki. Cheng Jiuxian, and it’s public.”
“It’s just that we found out that Maria’s ex-boyfriend had contact with Maria again a few years ago.”
"Then not long after, he was suddenly transferred to a foreign country for a business trip, and then there was no news."
"Based on Yuuki's character, I don't think there will be anything wrong with his ex-boyfriend. Good ending, this also shows that the relationship between them is not that congenial, at least not as she showed us."
"We also investigated that Maria's parents' bank account was hacked by a Yuki group. The company remitted a lot of money."
"I'm not sure if that's all. However, the boyfriend's last consumption record before his disappearance was to buy a bouquet of blue irises."
< br>“Broken and perishable, Charming Girl likes to express something in the language of flowers.”
"The carnations of Kaetsu Nishimura, the white tulips of Kana Ueda, the calla lilies of Chiba chrysanthemum branches."
"Coupled with the current Tsutenkaku Tower, a bunch of sinful souls have gathered together."
"Perhaps I was waiting for this opportunity to appear as a charming girl and create panic."
"Commonly known as one pot of rice."
Tongtenkaku Tower.
Under the tower, there are a large number of shops gathered here.
As a check-in point, the passenger flow under Tongtian Pavilion has always been good.
Even if it is contracted today and tourists cannot go up, then take a photo below. After all, it cannot be in vain.
"Yasuo, are you done taking the photo?"
The woman stood in the middle of the street and posed. From here, she could just see Tsutenkaku Tower in the middle.
It's just that her boyfriend seemed to be frozen in place. He just stared at it with his phone and never said whether he had taken the picture.
The man came back to his senses, grabbed his girlfriend with a slightly nervous expression, and pointed to the top floor of Tsutenkaku Tower: "Am I dazzled? Or are you talking about the latest special effects? Is there hair growing on Tsutenkaku Tower? ”
The woman and passers-by were attracted by the man’s inexplicable words and looked up.
I happened to see the dense vines constantly breaking glass and spreading wildly along the tower structure. The broken glass fell from high altitude. Under the sunlight, it glittered like water drops on a flower.
After experiencing several extraordinary events, Japan has now added extraordinary event drills in addition to earthquake drills and fire drills.
One of them is to report a suspected paranormal event to the paranormal emergency hotline as soon as possible, run as far as you can, and hide if you can't run away.
The current situation is very consistent with the public’s understanding of extraordinary events.
As a result, with Tsutenkaku as the center, a large number of people began to flee.
The vines continued to grow along the steel structure, all the way to the surface, and then stretched out countless weird roots, quietly and motionless.
But the high-rise building on the top of the tower seemed like it could no longer withstand the expansion of something. Cracks kept appearing and the building materials howled.
Finally, the antenna on the top of the tower lost its balance and fell. A gap was opened, and an object like the tip of an egg expanded along the gap.
With the complete collapse of the top layer, the expanding object appeared in front of people's eyes.
It turns out that it is just a bud.
A huge, bright red flower bud.
Its tip slowly hangs down, as if overlooking the earth.
Shirai, who rushed to the scene, was stunned to see that Tsutenkaku Tower had really turned into an unbloomed flower just like she had seen it for the first time.
"Boss, I have a hunch that this flower cannot be allowed to bloom."
Just arrived at Tongten Pavilion, one of Captain Takeuchi's subordinates looked at this strange flower and swallowed his saliva.
"Use your premonition! Quick! Throw flamethrowers and incendiary bombs at me!" Captain Takeuchi made a prompt decision.
The flames began to burn around the bottom of the tower. The originally peaceful vines seemed to go crazy after touching the fire, and began to turn into thorns, heading towards the mobile team.
Even though they had taken precautions, several people were still swept away at once, tied tightly, and shrunk into the sea of fire, leaving only screams.
"Retreat, protect the nearby people, prevent the vines from spreading, and leave this flower to the missiles."
The test is completed, there is no need to increase casualties, Takashima, who is wearing all the equipment, does not know Jumped out from somewhere, cut off the thorns binding a certain mobile team member with a knife, and threw it to his teammates.
The relatively well-trained mobile team immediately followed Takashima's order, retreated to a safe distance, and organized a defense line.
"Wounded, please leave the wounded to me!"
Wearing equipment that he was not used to, Shirai came to the mobile team members injured by thorns and healed their injuries with soft white light.
Takashima did not use a hammer this time, but a special knife like Nishikido Jun. As he moved, countless vines and thorns fell to the ground, like earthworms that were cut into two parts, twisting and struggling.
Fortunately, if this is the defensive power of the body, the threat of this charm is not as big as Ito Seigo's Fire Giant.
Takashima silently concluded that she had already applied for support from the headquarters, and soon, the missile would destroy the flower. No matter what purpose Maria holds, she will eventually be wiped out by the explosion.
And the demon flower seems to know where its own vulnerability lies. The vines at the top float as if they have escaped gravity. Outside the buds, they are layered on top of each other, forming a set of airtight defense layers.
Not long after, in the distance, smoke and fire were trailing, making a sound of breaking through the air, and a missile hit the middle of Tsutenkaku Tower.
The explosion spattered a large amount of broken objects.
But amid the fireworks, countless vines were like glue, replacing the damaged building steel and continuing to maintain stability.
Within a few seconds, another missile struck, and the explosion completely exploded the vines protecting the buds.
Hua Bao's true appearance was once again exposed to people's sight.
But, that flower finally came to bloom.
The bright red petals expanded and bloomed in the flames of war and smoke, and what was swinging in the center of the flower were the dry human-shaped stamens. They raised their heads and grew out of their mouths. Flowers of different shapes.
In a defensive posture, he protects the charming girl in the red dress in the middle.
A flower whose size has exceeded human cognition, standing on the earth, charming and magnificent.
As the demonic flowers swayed, tiny bits of light yellow pollen fell and spread around the city.
“Gas mask!”
Takashima shouted.
People from the Special Affairs Bureau immediately put on masks to avoid inhaling the dust of unknown composition.
But they have no way to stop the spread of pollen, they can only pray that the next missile will arrive as soon as possible.
Before they could wait long, several more missiles struck.
But after these missiles entered the pollen range, the route deviated sharply, passing by the demon flowers, and bombarded the surrounding shopping malls and streets.
"Takeuchi, have you found any abnormalities in people's inhalation?"
Takashima does not think that these things are natural and harmless. Even if they are real pollen, such a thick amount is not suitable for people with hay fever. It's too much for people.
"Stop for now! No traffic allowed here!"
Bang!
A car crashed through their temporary barriers and headed straight towards Tsutenkaku Tower.
One, two, and more than a dozen cars broke into the blockade area from all over.
Takeuchi and the others intercepted a few vehicles, but there were still fish that slipped through.
If you don’t listen, you are the enemy.
Takashima unsheathed his sharp blade, and the two approaching cars immediately separated and crashed into a building on the street.
The person inside struggled out, his eyes blackened, like a zombie, running towards Tongten Pavilion desperately.
Takashima hesitated for a moment and did not choose to continue taking action. Instead, he watched the well-dressed man run all the way to the bottom of the tower and kneel down towards Tongten Pavilion.
The nearby vine automatically moved towards him and inserted into the man's navel.
The man seemed to be relieved and showed a comfortable smile. Black air flowed along the vines, as if transporting nutrients, making the red petals dyed black.
The next second, with the flash of the knife, his head fell to the ground.
"Collecting sins?" Takashima easily dealt with the vines that stretched out again nearby, raised his head, and seemed to understand Yaohua's plan.
Pollen will cause sinful people to come and donate it. What are the standards?
On the earphones, Takeuchi shouted as he completely lost his composure: "Sir, there are many people! Countless civilians are attacking us!"
Takashima's heart skipped a beat, Looking around eagerly.
I saw a crowd of people coming like zombies.
“Don’t be too outrageous.”
Takashima stared blankly as one person after another passed her, kneeling in front of the demon flower, speaking vague words, longing for the vines come and absorb their sins.
“Throw tranquilizer bombs and tear gas to prevent them from approaching!” Yushi Noguchi, who was far away in Tokyo, took over the command, “Takashima, don’t let the vines come into contact with the people, but keep a part of it and observe whether there is any danger to life. "
"Yes!" Takashima finally felt breathing again and had a backbone. It was really different.
"Don't go there! It's very dangerous, the front is very dangerous!" Shirai was also trying to stop these civilians who seemed to have lost their minds. Looking at their blackened eyes, fear and anxiety made her feel like retching.
Shirai caught a student of about the same age and subconsciously used the ability of light.
The student was stunned and stopped rushing forward. The black energy in his eyes was rolling: "I, I feel so uncomfortable. There is a beautiful sister in front of me. She told me that as long as I go over, I will be there. Can be happy forever."
"Liar! That's a liar, don't believe it!" Seeing that his ability was effective, Shirai immediately increased his output.
"Really? It doesn't matter if you are a liar. Anyway, I am also a liar."
The student seemed to have remembered something, his face darkened, and his eyes were once again covered with black energy. He completely threw away the hesitation just now, and struggled to break away from Shirai's hand.
Shirai could only watch as the other party got rid of her and ran forward without looking back.
