honor me as god

Chapter 166
The next evening.

The sunset at dusk is always so lazy, with a touch of blood in the orange-yellow light, which renders half of the sky and fights against the darkness of night rising from the other side in vain.

The evening life in Twilight City is as usual. After work, some people go to the tavern to lie down on the table for a drink, some stand on the street in a daze facing the evening sunset, and some go to the fragrant restaurant together.

There are also a group of people who were lucky enough to grab tickets to the concert and are ready to enjoy the feast of listening to tonight.

Lu Yuqing was holding the ticket and was standing in front of the gate of the administrative mansion.

Chino chose the performance venue in his mansion, presumably for the convenience of piano handling and adjustment.

For a musical artist like him, an unfamiliar piano that has not been tuned may cause inaccurate timbre, which will affect the quality of the concert. This is absolutely not allowed.

Other guests also came one after another, some were graceful nobles, some were plainly dressed civilians, and there were even some ragged slaves.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, there is no class in the love of music.

The people of the lower class are also very lucky to be able to meet the extremely affordable fare of 30 iron moons.

After checking the ticket, Lu Yuqing began to undergo the security check.

"Good evening, Master Onmyoji." The guard recognized Lu Yuqing and summoned a female guard to search him.

This female guard was Nicole. She groped Lu Yuqing's body in an orderly manner. The height difference between the two and the body search inevitably made some touching movements, which inevitably made people imagine.

After searching, Nicole nodded and said, "There are no dangerous items, please come in."

Lu Yuqing and Nicole passed by, and the moment their eyes met, she seemed to see a flash of cold light.

The performance venue was arranged in the banquet hall, which was already full of people and there were no empty seats. Lu Yuqing found his own seat and sat down according to the serial number on the ticket.

With the last guest seated, the curtain of the bandstand was drawn.

When Lu Yu leaned towards the stage, she couldn't help but have a question: Where is the piano?
The candles on the stage are brightly lit, but it is very empty, and there is no shadow of the piano.

"Boom." The door to the outside world was closed, and the banquet hall was sealed like a cage.

"I think someone must have a question—where is the piano?" Under the light of the candle, Kino's figure stepped out of the darkness, and smiled at Lu Yuqing, "Do you think so, Miss Onmyoji? Or I You should be called an alien."

Lu Yuqing froze on his seat, staring blankly at Kino.

Chino: "Don't look at me, look around you."

Lu Yuqing looked around subconsciously, and suddenly found a terrible thing.

Everyone was looking at her with cold eyes.

It stands to reason that no matter whether they are nobles, commoners, or slaves, as long as they hear the words "outsiders", they will cause riots. After all, this is synonymous with blasphemy and destruction.

But at this moment, all the guests just stared at her coldly.
This is definitely not the look that ordinary people should have.
Soon, Chino announced the answer: "You are the only 'guest' present, and everyone else is the elite of the Twilight City Defense Force."

Lu Yu swallowed his throat and said in a trembling voice, "I don't understand what you mean."

Kino looked at her with a smile: "The game is over, do you want to continue playing? The "Daily Chronicle" you bought yesterday is a customized version specially written for you."

"I told the postboy, and when others buy newspapers, give them the normal one—it doesn't have any news about the concert."

"The one you bought has a dynamic news specially drawn by the soul master. Only you know about this concert, and you become the only guest."

Lu Yuqing couldn't help being dazed, his pupils out of focus.

"What's your expression? Look around, everyone else is acting with you, and you are the protagonist of this scene, so—" Kino put his finger on the corner of his lips and raised it upwards, " Don't be so serious, just smile at me~"

Lu Yuqing's lips kept trembling, and his face turned pale: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Acting? I just heard about your musical talent and came here just because of your reputation."

Chino: "But yesterday Lugo asked you if you like music, and you said you don't have the ability to appreciate music. If that's the case, why did you come to the concert?"

Lu Yuqing's eyes wandered, not knowing how to answer.

Kino used telepathy, and the voice sounded in her mind: "There is only one reason - you have identified the authors of those songs, and you understand what it means."

Lu Yuqing pointed to his one-clawed golden dragon robe, held up the nameplate, and argued hoarsely: "I really don't know what you are talking about! Take a good look at my clothes and this nameplate. I am the yin and yang of the Far Eastern Dynasty." Teacher, it’s not some extraterrestrial visitor!”

Chino: "That's weird. I found several documents in your room, which recorded my living habits, routes of entering and leaving the house, and a lot of recent information. These are obviously used for assassination. How do you explain it? "

Lu Yuqing was completely stunned: "I don't understand what you are talking about, I have never written that kind of thing"

Through telepathy, Kino's smiling voice sounded in her mind again: "Of course you didn't write it, because I forged it myself and used it to frame you. I have to make up an excuse for my soldiers~ these are actually It's all small episodes, you don't have to care about it, you just need to understand one thing - your captain is an idiot, he jumps into a hole when he digs it, he has caused you misfortune."

"Why is there a voice in my head? I haven't done anything. I haven't done anything! I'm going to see the imperial envoy!" Lu Yuqing stood up in panic, wanting to escape from here.

"Trapped in the soul cage!" A deafening voice came from the darkness. Ai Mo floated in the air, and the black fire surged under his five fingers, condensing into five materialized giant pillars, and the roar fell beside Lu Yuqing, completely blowing her Trapped inside, there's no room for escape or dodge.

Lu Yuqin was carrying a spell and couldn't perform yin and yang techniques. She tried to break free with her body, but when she touched the huge black fire pillar of the soul cage, black smoke rose from the contact surface of her body as if being burned, and the painful moan resounded throughout the performance hall.

Aimo's right hand condensed the power of soul art, and his left hand held a heart-piercing and screaming slave. Judging from his constantly shriveled body, it was obvious that he had been "soul-drained".

Soul masters are different from so-called "magicians". In the traditional sense, magicians consume mana, which can be recovered with practice or time.

But what a soul master consumes is the soul, and this consumption is irreversible. Every time he releases a soul spell, he is stepping towards exhaustion.

Therefore, in order to be able to release soul spells for a long time, Eric's family kept a large number of "soul slaves". Every time a soul master performed a spell, he would "drain souls" from these soul slaves.

In this way, what is consumed is the soul of the soul slave, not his own body.

Not long after, when the soldiers surrounded him, Aimo untied the soul cage. The soul slave under his left hand had shriveled cheeks and turned up his eyes, which must have been almost dry.

Kino walked to the soul cage, smiled at Aimo and said, "Thank you."

Aimo's face was expressionless, obviously harboring grievances: "Let me remind you first. You'd better not make mistakes in your judgment on this matter. Otherwise, if you violate the personal freedom of a one-clawed golden dragon, you and I will get into trouble." Big trouble."

Kino looked at Lu Yuqing who was being imprisoned by the soldiers, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I won't make mistakes. Take her to the dungeon, and I will interrogate her myself."

The soldiers took Lu Yuqing to the dungeon, locked him on a prison chair, and then guarded the entrance and exit on the third inner floor and outer third floor to prevent other outsiders from robbing the prison.

After an unknown amount of time, amidst Lu Yuqing's rapid breathing, the black veil on her head was removed, and after her eyes adjusted to the light, she could clearly see Kino sitting across from her.

Chino: "The others go out first, they are not allowed to come in without my order, and they are not allowed to eavesdrop, otherwise they will be executed directly."

Lugo originally wanted to stay and protect Kino's safety, but then he thought, with Kino's strength, should he worry about his safety?

Does it match?

Instead of worrying about Chino, he might as well go back and worry about what flowers to buy for Ann.

"Let's go, all out." Lu Ge pushed a few guards out, and closed the door with a bang.

There were only two people left in the dungeon.

Lu Yuqing shouted: "Master Administrator! There must be some misunderstanding!"

"Please, the game is over, why continue pretending?" Kino's fingers danced regularly on the table, and said with a smile, "Let's make a deal, you admit your identity, and then tell me your plan .In return, I will give you the most comfortable death, you can trust my technique, I am a professional~"
