Chapter 54: The Black Lightning Suddenly Appears in the Claw
If two people have the exact same soul and body, how would you tell them apart?
Fu Heiyao was stunned.
Whether it's the physical form or the vague outline of the soul, it all proves that the Amamiya Haruhi behind the Rope Tree is real.
But Fu Heiyao couldn't sense her malice.
There wasn't a single negative emotion.
伪人
This was the first word that came to Fu Heiyao's mind.
It's like a monster wearing human skin, but it can't hide its indifference towards people in its bones.
Fushiko kept quiet because of Sato Hideyoshi's intelligence.
This monster possesses abilities similar to those of a real person.
However, unlike the passive transformation of real people, his ability seems to have an indirect effect, as can be seen from the previous failed cyborgs.
If we rashly expose its flaws, the rope tree might die.
He needed to find a way to get the monster off Rope Tree's body without harming Rope Tree's life.
Calm down, Fu Heiyao, think carefully about what to do.
"Aren't you two being a bit too bold?" Nawaki, who was carrying Amamiya Haruaki on his back, immediately walked over when he saw the two of them.
Nawaki was startled when he saw Sato Hideyoshi and Amamiya Seimei at Fushiko's feet.
Even Sakumo was taken aback by their "harvest," but he quickly regained his composure.
Although it was a bit rough, seeing the deformed marks on his lower body, Sakumo knew that this was not the time to follow the rules.
"Brother!" "Amamiya Haruya" exclaimed in surprise.
"Seiya!" Amamiya Seimei immediately became excited upon seeing his younger sister.
But when he thought about what he had done, he lowered his head silently.
He was too ashamed to see his sister again.
"Nawaki, why did you bring Miss Haruya here?" Minato asked, noticing the white fur on Nawaki's back.
"The situation is very bad." Sakumo wiped the blood-stained white teeth from his hands and said:
"Something terrible has happened to the people at the Amamiya mansion. The samurai have all gone mad and suddenly turned into monsters similar to those cyborgs."
"I was afraid that killing too many people would attract the attention of the nobles, so I had to take Rope Tree with me and leave. I happened to run into Miss Qingya on my way out, so I took her with me."
"It was chaotic. Miss Haruya almost got into trouble, but thankfully, Professor Sakumo arrived in time." Nawaki turned to the side, revealing Haruya Amamiya's blood-stained white calves.
The specks of blood made her delicate skin look like the fine snow of early winter.
"What's the situation on your end?" Sakumo asked.
Minato revealed all the information they had gathered.
"So that's how it is. You're the one who did the cyborgs in the mountain stronghold." Nawaki looked at Sato Hideyoshi, who had fainted from blood loss, with a complex expression in his eyes.
If you call him bad, he still cares about the lives of those cyborgs and, as a samurai, wants to cure his master's illness.
He's good to them, but he tricked them into offering sacrifices to the monster.
The inexperienced Nawaki didn't know how to evaluate this samurai.
As for the story of Amamiya Seimei being tricked and almost causing the death of his loved ones, it's a story too complicated to tell.
Rope Tree could feel the girl on his back starting to shed small pearls.
Tears soaked Rope Tree's light brown coat, leaving Rope Tree, who was never good at comforting girls, at a loss.
"Hey, what's all this about?"
At this moment, his mind was frantically recalling past events involving Fushiko and Kushina, awkwardly and clumsily comforting "Amamiya Haruhisa" on his back.
"Lord Seimei, this mission is probably not as simple as just a B-rank mission." After hearing the information, Sakumo stared intently at Amamiya Seimei with sharp eyes.
Although it wasn't Harumi Amamiya's intention, anyone else would probably have been tricked to death long ago.
"I'll increase the reward. Consider it an S-rank mission. If you kill that monster and spare Hideyoshi's life, I'll agree to anything!"
Upon hearing Sakumo mention the mission reward, a glimmer of hope appeared in Amamiya Seimei's eyes, and he did not hesitate to increase the reward.
He even felt a surge of joy that brought him to tears.
Compared to the ruthless sea urchin-headed killer, the mature white-haired man in front of him was more like the ninja he remembered.
When Sakumo heard that his employer had upgraded the mission to S-rank, he softened his attitude slightly, out of respect for the reputation of Konoha ninjas.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we can pretend nothing happened." Sakumo had clearly noticed that Amamiya Seimei's fingers were simply bandaged and still bleeding.
He roughly knew whose work it was, but Sakumo didn't blame Fushikokuyo. Instead, he chose to hint at it to Amamiya Seimei to avoid any negative impact.
"I understand, this was all done by that monster." Although Amamiya Seimei was physically weak, he was very clear about these unspoken rules.
Amamiya Seimei climbed down Sakumo's ladder.
Upon hearing this, the gentle and refined Minato quietly retrieved the kunai he had hidden behind his back into his ninja tool pouch.
"Yo, why aren't you saying anything?" Minato was the first to notice Fukuyo's strange silence.
Next up are Nawaki and Sakumo.
"Yo, did you find something?" Sakumo asked gravely, looking at Fukuro Yo with his eyes closed.
"Yao, what are you doing?"
Nawaki curiously peeked over, and even the "Amamiya Haruaki" on his back stared curiously at Fushiko.
"Is he developing a new technique, or...?" Minato remained silent, his mind racing as he pondered the deeper meaning behind Fukuyo's actions.
"The answer might be right in front of us." Minato glanced subtly at the back of Nawaki.
Hideyoshi Sato once said that monsters possess the ability to mimic.
What if the monster fooled Yao's long-range perception, but was detected at close range?
He knew that Fu Heiyao's close-range perception was far stronger than his long-range perception.
If we rule out the possibility that the monster is mimicking Sakumo-sensei, then only Nawaki and Amamiya Haruaki remain.
It's easy to guess who this person is.
Fu Heiyao ignored what the others said.
Because his mind was immersed in the sealed space, the flow of time here had the characteristic of being accelerated for a short period of time.
"How should I put it?" Sukuna's expression became extremely interesting, "It's truly an eye-opener!"
Since the two shared senses, he naturally noticed the monster that showed no negative emotions immediately.
He was certain that this could not possibly be the same human girl from before.
Then it's easy to guess who it is.
"It's not just born from simple negative emotions; it's a mix of many things, including positive emotions! How interesting!"
Su Nuo was in a state of extreme excitement at this moment; he even felt that he could unleash a black flash.
"That cursed spirit, whose abilities are similar to those of a real person, can even mimic the aura of a soul."
"Kid, what are you going to do?!"
Su Nuo stared intently at Fu Heiyao, who seemed to be meditating outside the sealed gate.
All Fu Heiyao could do to disappoint Su Nuo's expectations!
When Fu Heiyao opened his eyes again, black runes had already covered his face.
A deep, twisted, ancient malice radiated from Fu Heiyao like a fountain.
Fu Heiyao did not act immediately, but gently raised his hand.
"Nue!"
As Fu Heiyao softly called out the name of Nue, black lightning suddenly appeared in his palm.
The black arc of electricity remained condensed and held firmly in Fu Heiyao's palm.
As expected by Minato, Sakumo was shocked, and Nawaki was at a loss.
Fu Heiyao clenched his fist, and in an instant, black and red chakra energy surged around him, with black lightning flashing in his palm.
The moment the black lightning flashed, even Sakumo felt his hair stand on end.
"What a joke! I'll die if I get hit!?" Sakumo, with his Kage-level senses, perceived a deadly danger from Fukuko's fist, which was crackling with black lightning.
However, just as Sakumo subconsciously tried to stop Fushiko, Minato blocked his way.
"I believe Yao-kun would never harm Nawaki!"
