"To put it mildly, this can be considered a prophecy, right?"
"Your guess did let many people know in advance that the Demon Viscount might come into reality."
"Because of this incident, Ms. Lacus and her SDS members were collectively mobilized for this matter and were busy for more than 40 hours... Not to mention, this incident also affected the two demigods, Kurumi and Rokuko..."
"In terms of the effect of the ritual, the 'disaster' that affected an apostle, two demigods, many heroes, and even many ordinary people was known a day or two in advance, and responses were made. In the end, it was successfully resolved, and 'part' of the disaster was taken upon himself..."
When Honjo Niya said this, he looked at Luo Shu with a very strange expression:
"You didn't plan it, there was indeed an element of luck, but you didn't plan it... you asked Rokuko and Kurumi to prepare in advance, and you had been thinking about tricking that viscount for a long time..."
"I don't know whether to say that you are good at scheming or that you are just lucky~"
At this point, Honjo Niya touched his chin and hesitated a little:
"But, maybe you can also say it's bad luck?"
"After all, even though the ritual was completed, I didn't get any of the materials. Now... wasn't this all in vain?"
"No, it was not in vain." Luo Shu shook his head, and then explained: "I learned something from Miss Iwanaga Kotoko."
"Those are rituals for certain classes. The effects can be maintained over time."
"Generally speaking, rituals are used immediately. If you miss the opportunity, the risk will be doubled. However, there are some special promotions that can maintain the effect by turning it into 'being completed'."
"For example, Miss Iwanaga Kotoko's ritual is to sacrifice an eye and a limb to the Fountain of Wisdom, and be devoutly served by hundreds of beings of different races."
“She completed this ritual six years ago, but it still retains its effects.”
"The reason is that until now, one of her eyes and one of her legs are still in the Fountain of Wisdom, and she is still served by hundreds of different kinds of monsters."
"And similarly, my ritual is: predict a disaster that will affect the natural order, and when the disaster breaks out, contain the disaster on myself."
When Luo Shu said this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled and said to Honjo Niya:
"Do you understand?"
"As long as I keep the Viscount's Broken Arm contained and suppressed, my ritual will continue to proceed and the promotion effect can be guaranteed."
"This means that I will continue to perform the ritual of becoming a demigod."
"That is to say..."
Honjo Niya opened his eyes wide when he heard this and muttered to himself:
"You only need to take the 'Seal of Disaster' and the 'Blood Essence of Natural Immortal' to become a demigod?"
"Is such that."
Luo Shu exhaled a breath, then raised his head and looked at Honjo Niya with burning eyes.
Being stared at like this by Luo Shu, Honjo Niya suddenly felt embarrassed and protected himself:
"I hate it~"
"I just sweated and I'm thinking about that kind of thing~"
Luo Shu's face twitched, and he ignored the funny woman and asked:
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Use the Whispering Chapter to find a way to separate the Seal of Disaster from Conan's body!"
"I will chase Ying Lili to get the essence of the natural fairy essence. You should recover quickly and find a way for me!"
Upon hearing this, Honjo Niya immediately lowered his head and leaned weakly on the sofa:
"I know... don't push me... pushing me is the worst behavior... especially if you don't pay me..."
Luo Shu looked at her with contempt, too lazy to urge her anymore, and turned his head to look towards the door.
He didn't have to wait long before the SDS members who had participated in the operation appeared in his sight.
Chapter 266: Secret Management Department Afterwards
"Ah~~ It's time to get off work~~ I can finally finish working overtime~~"
Carrying a bag of plastic bags, Jinmu Qianshu ran into the reception room happily, imitating the pace of a bird. She ran to Luo Shu with a smile and shook the bag in her hand:
"I went to the 24-hour supermarket and bought some sushi. Do you want to eat with me?"
"Okay." Luo Shu agreed without thinking, took the bag from Jinmu Chitose's hand, and took out the packaged sushi one by one.
At this time, Nishiki Chitsuka smiled and asked Inoue Takina who came in from behind:
"Takina, oolong tea or green tea? No, for the evening, it's better to drink beer, right?"
"I also can."
Inoue Takina responded casually, then turned around and glanced at Yotsuya Miko and Gokawa Kotori sitting on the sofa opposite Luo Shu.
The girl frowned slightly and glanced at the sparks on Gokawa Kotori's body, and said in surprise:
“This little girl is….”
Upon hearing this, Honjo Nia came over and held Inoue Takina's shoulder with a smile:
"The target of this operation is Gokawa Kotori-chan, who even the Viscount Devil has bowed to."
"How about it, super cute, right?"
“Cute is indeed cute....”
Inoue Takina looked at Itsuka Kotori, who was holding Yotsuya Miko's hand and crying, and immediately tilted her head and said:
"But, is there anyone in the station who is good at taking care of children?"
"Uh...."
Suddenly, Honjo Niya fell silent.
Luo Shu, who was unpacking sushi, also paused.
As the person closest to Itsuka Kotori, Yotsuya Miko immediately said with a sad face:
"No way, do you want me to take care of the child? I can't even take care of myself..."
"As for the children, leave it to me..."
Accompanied by soft voices, Lux slowly floated into the reception room.
Seeing the girl appear like this, Luo Shu was also surprised:
"What's going on? Why are you imitating Rokuko and starting to drift?"
"Ah, this?"
Lux lightly tapped in the air and floated towards Luo Shu, while explaining:
"Because I've been traveling between space and the ground recently, I'm worried that my body might be affected, so I asked Rokuko to seal the effect of gravity on me."
"But to be honest, floating around on the ground like this is really fun~"
"..."
Luo Shu looked at the pink-haired girl who looked like she had just gotten a new toy, and finally sighed and said:
"Forget it, just be happy."
"By the way, do you want some sushi? Chizuka bought this."
"Okay."
Lacus said as she floated towards Luo Shu. After slowly descending, she smiled at Yotsuya Miko across from her:
"You are Jianzi, right?"
"This operation was successful thanks to your help. Because of your help, we were able to successfully bring the child back from the abyss."
"No, I didn't do anything... I just held your hand..."
Yotsuya Miko quickly waved her hands to deny it, and at the same time looked at Lacus with curiosity, even ignoring Lacus's subsequent "thank you".
What a beautiful person... Yotsuya Miko looked at Lacus with some envy.
The face, the figure, and the skin... there are no flaws in any of them... Yotsuya Miko watched Luo Shu open the package of disposable chopsticks, pick up a piece of sushi and put it into Lux's mouth.
Seeing this, Yotsuya Kenko suddenly woke up and looked at Luo Shu and Lacus in surprise.
Wait, this kind of interaction?
These two...are they not lovers?
Just as Yotsuya Miko was shocked, Luo Shu opened his mouth and ate the salmon sushi that Lacus brought him, then turned around and asked Inoue Takina who was sitting on the single sofa:
"How is Iwanaga Kotoko handling it?"
"Let the minister... no, let Minister Tachibana hand in the fake 'corpse'."
As Inoue Takina spoke, she took the ice beer brought by Nishiki Chitsuka and immediately explained:
"But afterwards, you may need to redeem the body under the pretext of 'experimentation'."
"After all, Ms. Iwanaga Kotoko said that when the body exists, her existence will be relatively vague and cannot appear in reality. Therefore, she wants us to retrieve the body quickly so that she can cancel the 'ritual' and avoid her getting lost in the 'Ghost Hidden World'."
"I see."
Luo Shu nodded, and then looked at Lux on his right:
"I guess I'll have to ask you to handle it."
"Understood. I will bring the 'body' back as soon as possible."
Lux nodded, then glanced at Itsuka Kotori who was staring at her curiously, then smiled and stretched out her hand. With a twist of her wrist, a candy appeared in her palm and she said:
"You want some candy? It's very sweet."
Kotori Itsuka hesitated for a moment, looked at the candy eagerly, then turned her head and looked at Yotsuya Miko pitifully.
Suddenly, Yotsuya Miko suffered a mental attack:
"What are you looking at me for? I'm really not your mother... and didn't you just call me sister..."
While mumbling in a very low voice, Yotsuya Miko said to Itsuka Kotori helplessly:
"¨' Eat it. You can eat anything this sister gives you."
Hearing this, Itsuka Kotori's eyes lit up and she immediately reached out to take the candy. After saying "thank you" in a childish voice, she opened the package, put the candy into her mouth, and squinted her eyes because of the sweetness.
Seeing this, Luo Shu couldn't help but complain:
"You've completely turned into a child..."
Lux smiled and said, "Children will soon forget all their fears and worries."
Luo Shu was silent for a moment after hearing this. Thinking about how long Gokawa Kotori had stayed in the abyss passage, he felt a little emotional.
Finally, he sighed and asked:
"How's the situation over there, Kirika?"
"When we were underground before, I sensed that her spirit had a conflict with King Ma Cang Ye. Is she okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lux gently placed her hand on Luo Shu's hand and said softly:
"Don't worry, King Makura Ye won't do anything to her."
"After all, if we rashly attack Kirika, it will only bring us hostility."
"For him, this is an unnecessary conflict."
"No unnecessary conflict?" Luo Shu was a little surprised to hear this.
The relationship between SDS and King Asakura shouldn't be very good, right?
At this time, Lux sighed softly, and then sighed:
"My current mother has the bloodline of the Asakura family, a branch of the Asakura family in America. To be more specific, she is the descendant of King Asakura who was reincarnated five hundred years ago and left in America."
Hearing this, Luo Shu's expression suddenly became strange.
If he remembered correctly, Lux's father Siegel was the eldest daughter of an American arms group.
Doesn't this mean that the young lady is a direct descendant of King Asakura Ye?
Thinking of this, Luo Shu's expression suddenly became strange.
