Chapter 314 84: Sacrifice
"jantar, dinner."
"jantar."
"Vocêgostaria des air parajantar? Do you want to go out for dinner?"
"VocêgostariadesairparajantarNo, I don't want to go out yet, Obrigada (Thank you)."
"Oh okay, Vocêjá experimentouoaaí? Have you tried acai?"
"Acaiguo? Never heard of it."
"It's a kind of fruit that looks like blueberries. It tastes a little like grapes and chocolate. I really like eating it. It doesn't exist in Japan? I'll bring some to you next time I buy it at home."
"Oh, Obrigada."
"Ah, it's getting dark. It's almost time today. You learn languages so fast. I feel like you can master it quickly even if you use software."
"I think it's more interesting to be taught by local people, and you can also learn more about local customs. This is more interesting than simply learning a language."
"That's it. I also want to find a chance to go to Japan, but I heard that it is very chaotic there now, even more chaotic than here. Is this true?"
"Maybe I haven't been back for a few years"
Rio state capital district.
In a house in a mid-to-high-end community, Maria saw the woman in front of her looking a little sad, and she was immediately at a loss: "Sister Shirai, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to mention it"
Shirai shook his head slightly and held the other person's hand: "You don't have to apologize. Okay, I'll take you out."
"Uh, okay." Maria was a little frustrated and was silently sent to the door by Shirai.
"So, see you tomorrow?" Maria said goodbye carefully.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Please be safe on the road." Shirai smiled and waved to her.
"Don't worry, the security around here is pretty good." Just as Maria finished speaking, sirens and gunshots were faintly heard behind her.
Shirai pulled Maria back, closed the door, and with Maria's embarrassed expression, skillfully waited for the sirens and gunshots to fade away.
"I am a child from Rocinha. This situation is child's play for me. I know how to protect myself." Maria made up for herself in her words.
Shirai didn't expose her, and only let her leave after making sure it was safe outside.
After seeing Maria off, Shirai sat back on the sofa, turned on the TV, and listened to the host speaking at a very fast speed for her, practicing her listening and reading skills.
She sat like this late into the night until early morning.
Shirai turned off the TV and lights, walked to the bedroom on the second floor in the dark, and found a set of black robes.
After putting on her robe, she opened the window. The nearby street lights flickered with unstable voltage, and then slowly went out. A pair of black wings spread out, taking her body into the night, and the street lights that had just been extinguished flickered again. Brightness returned.
Unlike the flesh wings of the Dirty Winger, Kyoko Shirai's wings are a pure energy body that can be converted into a physical object during battle, or can be turned into a virtual object like a flame, and can be stretched out without damage through clothes.
Flying in the night, overlooking the bustling metropolis, Shirai had to say that the happiness and optimism given by the environment of Rio people made it difficult for her to find a suitable experimenter.
It's not uncommon to have a funeral today and dance in a bar tomorrow. There are many people seeking revenge for their relatives, but not many people understand the origin of their situation.
It took her more than half a month to successfully develop a controllable downline.
Oakley was a failed experiment she created in South Australia. He could not control his anger at all, and his hatred was too macro. In his eyes, committing a crime would lead to death.
Once a loved one commits what he considers to be a sin, he will inevitably lose control and the world will collapse.
This is also the reason why Shirai gave him up early.
Especially after the Tokyo Devil incident, she completely understood that unless her personal abilities were invincible, she would be like the Tokyo Devil, surrounded and suppressed by righteous gangs, and her ideas would be wiped out.
Of course, she is not on the side of the Tokyo Demon. If she could have known how powerful the Tokyo Demon was in advance, she might be able to help the Special Affairs Bureau. After all, in her eyes, those war criminals are all too numerous to describe.
But this is the best outcome now. She doesn't have to take the risk, the Tokyo Demon has been eliminated, and all the legacy families have been liquidated.
If she steps forward, I am afraid that after beating Tokyo Devil, she will be the next one to be beaten.
As for whether anyone would find her through Oakley, she had expected this, so she had previously revealed that she would go to the land of drug lords or America. In the short term, she would not make any big moves here. A good opportunity to accumulate strength.
After her usual patrol over Rio, which yielded nothing, she landed on the shoulders of the Christ statue and pondered whether her decision to come here was right or wrong.
At this moment, she suddenly understood the reason why Hirosue Ryōgiya used her as an experimental subject.
However, she will not do this. Even if it is an experimental subject, she will rely on the other party's volition. If they are unwilling, she will not force it.
That's why she developed this ability so slowly.
Another fruitless night.
Shirai stood up from the statue of Christ and was about to leave when he raised his eyebrows and felt a roar from the southwest, resounding in the dark night.
It is the largest slum in Rio, but generally speaking, the overall situation is pretty good and not particularly chaotic. She is more likely to think that something unexpected happened.
With a flutter of her black wings, she disappeared from the spot, and her figure quickly approached the direction of the slums.
Soon, you can see the continuous swaying fire in the light, like a burning camp.
Looking at those people fleeing in panic, she felt nothing in her heart.
Her kindness has been shattered and extinguished with the ability of [Light]. Even if her enemy is evil, it is just because of hatred of evil, not because of kindness.
Kyoko Shirai, who used to smile, care about others, and cry when she saw someone being killed, had died in Tokyo long ago.
Now, she subconsciously doesn't want to see people who are too kind, because that will remind her of herself who was weak and incompetent and could only cry.
It's not that it's angry, it's funny but it's real.
Just
"Interesting."
Shirai discovered that this did not seem to be caused by an accident, even if it was disguised as an accident, like an explosion caused by aging natural gas pipelines or improper use.
Because she found a few guys in strange clothes on the top floor of a certain place. She was looking excitedly at the firelight of the slums, dancing weird dances, and chanting in a language she didn't understand.
".I wish you would fall into a smoking stew, I wish a black snake would bite your heel, I wish you would be stung by a wasp when you kneel, and you would be feasted on bed bugs at night, everything would be wrong and nothing would be right! Ogoun! Ogun! Please keep your eyes on us, I will give my best tribute to the divine existence.”
But there was someone she knew inside, the leader of a major gang in this slum. He was sitting on a sofa, holding a cigar, crossing his legs, admiring the firelight, and whispering something to his confidants next to him.
"After the sacrifice is completed, we must quickly come forward to win people's hearts and eliminate all evidence that may doubt us."
Sacrifice?
Shirai's eyes penetrated the building and the flames, and saw those people who were still struggling, unconscious, and shouting in the flames without saying a word.
Instead of getting angry and killing the planners in front of her, she retracted her wings and fell straight into the flames.
She doesn't save people out of compassion, she just wants to save them, so she'll save them.
Wearing a black robe, she walked around the back garden amid the flames. She got a few quilts, soaked them, and threw them to some survivors who were still able to move.
"Ahem! Thanks——"
Before the other party could say her thanks, she had already disappeared, went to take the unconscious people out of the fire scene, and threw them into an open space where the flames could not reach them and where there were not many people.
Her purpose is to accumulate enough power in Rio. The more she covers, the less she will be discovered.
As for those who deserve to die, there is no rush to deal with them. Even if they are dealt with, try to let them die in a reasonable manner, in line with the normal fluctuating number of local homicides.
"Lord Angel!"
Another man in black robes also rushed over and found Shirai, who had saved a wave of people and was floating in the air, his eyes full of fanaticism.
"Tada, follow that person and inquire about them and the voodoo priests to see if you can dig up anything." Shirai pointed at the gangsters on the rooftop.
"I understand! The mission will definitely be completed!"
Tada said firmly.
After giving the instructions, Shirai didn't stay long and flew back towards his residence.
The night passed quickly, and daylight returned to the City of God. Rats and cockroaches retreated into their dark caves, and rules and regulations regained the upper hand.
It's just that today, Shirai didn't wait for the home language teacher he hired.
"Sorry! I'm sorry, I was so nervous that I forgot to ask for leave. There was a fire at my parents' place last night, and now I am accompanying them in the hospital for rescue." As she spoke, Maria, who lacked someone to talk to, cried. I was choked with sobs and couldn't speak half a sentence.
Shirai knew that Maria came from a Rocinha slum, but he didn't expect that her parents still lived there.
It seems that her parents are also among the people he saved yesterday.
She is quite satisfied with this tutor. Now it seems that she made the right move yesterday.
"Everything will be fine. If you need help with anything, remember to call me."
"Thank you, thank you"
After hanging up the phone, Shirai turned on the TV. Just in time, the news broadcast inside was also related to the fire last night.
"So far, the fire in Rocinha last night has killed 16 people, injured hundreds, and affected the daily lives of thousands of people. The cause of the fire is not yet clear. It is initially determined to be a fire caused by a natural gas leak. Officials have dispatched emergency rescue teams and the fire has been brought under control. The specific losses are still being further calculated.”
"Sixteen people! Just sixteen people! You promised me before that there would be at least fifty people killed in the fire! Damn you, there are so few people. Believe it or not, I will order a house to get it right now. Fill in the numbers as a family!”
There was a loud bang, and the vase fragments scratched many people's faces, but no one dared to hide.
After all, it was Aito, the leader of the Aito gang who controlled most of Rocinha, who was furious. Faced with his rage, his subordinates could only kneel on the spot, shaking like chaff.
"Waste! What a waste!"
Picking up the pistol, under someone's surprised gaze, in just a few seconds, the magazine was emptied, and the man fell to the ground with a look of disbelief.
No words came out of his mouth.
Obviously he is just one of the inconspicuous executors, why.
After seeing the blood, Aito's anger was finally discharged along with the bullets, and he slowly regained his senses.
After changing the magazine, he pointed the hot muzzle at the main planner of this operation and one of his confidants, and said coldly: "You'd better have a reasonable explanation."
< br>
"Yes! Yes! Boss Aito, listen to my explanation!"
The man finally dared to speak out the information he had investigated.
"Many living people said that a person whose face they couldn't see clearly threw them a wet quilt and pointed out the safest way, so that they could escape from the fire alive. Even some people who were in a coma, before they fell into coma, I only saw a black figure, and when I woke up, I was already outside the fire scene! Boss, someone is causing trouble!"
Aito's gun flickered and almost went off.
Why does this description sound so similar to extraordinary?
Is there something extraordinary hidden in Rocinha? !
Aito looked eagerly at the voodoo messenger who had been silent.
"This is a test." The messenger, who was covered in strange decorations, with colorful paintings on his face, and several straw rag dolls on his waist, stood up and faced Aito holding a gun, his eyes were calm and without fear.
"This is a test given by Ogun to my lord! My lord, your life-extending technique is against the laws of heaven and earth. You will inevitably encounter various accidents during the period, but as long as you can overcome these accidents, the effect will be more powerful. Ogun will also recognize adults more! ”
The so-called Ogun is a god of iron and fire in the Voodoo system. He is not originally related to life.
But isn’t it time to pay attention to cultural hodgepodge? Take the flaming phoenix Phoenix, isn’t the flame related to life?
The main reason why Aito believes in this nonsense theory is that he is now terminally ill, and even if he has money, he does not have much time to live. He is also attracted by the Voodoo theory of the resurrection of the gods, so he listens to the Voodoo messenger. Many ceremonies were performed.
Yesterday's sacrifice was the top priority. In the words of the messenger, it was related to the success or failure of the entire ceremony.
"But what if Chaofan comes here?" Aito knew to some extent how exaggerated Chaofan's strength could be. After hearing the news, he was a little scared.
But if he gives up like this, he won't be willing to do it. After all, he is not going to die soon, so he might as well give it a try. Not many people in the gang can end well. He doesn't lack the spirit of a gambler, let alone his current situation.
"Then what should we do? You said, as long as I can do it! Do you need money? How much?!" Aito's face was ferocious.
"No, it has nothing to do with money now." The messenger looked serious. "We need a bigger fire, and we need to burn it on the pagans, and use their souls to please Lord Ogun!"
