Chapter 176 Heaven's Lock
At the moment when the wave of cheers paused, Ijuin Ayano finally let out a roar with difficulty.

"--sunflower!!"

Some kind of invisible wave swept through the entire ruling domain in an instant.

For a moment, everyone fell silent in an instant, turning their faces in unison, looking at Ijuin Ayano expressionlessly, and the chains on her chest made a symphonic sound of wind chimes.

The entire hall lost all movement in an instant and froze.

A few steps away from Ayano, Haiyuan had just stood up and was about to take Ori Lukui's hand and turn around to walk onto the dance floor together.

Oroku Aoi stopped, but still didn't glance at Ijuin. She just looked up at the sky above the auditorium, seeming to observe the changes in the space of this ruling domain.

But Hui Yuanchu still looked at Ayano seriously and observed her.

Ijuin Ayano has completely ignored the strange changes in the surrounding environment.

She grabbed half of her face, staggered as if she was about to fall, and breathed heavily as if she was about to suffocate.On the half of the exposed face, tears and snot were pouring down completely uncontrollably, and the eyeballs were trembling violently.

Anger, shame, despair—these emotions appeared on her face in turn, merging into a ferocious and twisted look.

And the rationality that should have been completely swallowed up.

"...It's not enough, it's really strong." Haiyuan heard Zhe Lukui next to him making a dull voice of judgment.

He looked back at Oroku Aoi and saw that she was still looking up at the dome of the auditorium. Only then did he realize what she meant...

The domain of dominion has not been unlocked yet?Ijuin Ayano hasn't collapsed yet?Or maybe, both?
In the auditorium, low voices buzzed again.

That was when the dolls finally resumed their activities one by one, but their faces showed a blank expression.

As if they had just woken up, they even whispered to each other about what had just happened.

——like Ayano's scream just now caused a large-scale network interruption.

Hui Yuan glanced at the puppet group and found that the chains on the chests of the puppet group were gone.

Before he could think about the meaning of this vision, Ayano behind him had already let out a hoarse roar again.

"——Kudo!!"

"Gong-wu-Kudo! Where is it? Get-wu-get out of here!"

With tears streaming down her face, Ayano ignored Haihara Chu and Oruru Aoi, turned around, looked around at the crowd and shouted, almost speechless because she was choked with sobs.

Soon, Kudo walked out of the crowd.

At this time, her face became even worse, and her lips were also trembling, almost no better than Ayano.

Ayano took two deep breaths from her nose to absorb the cold air in her entire lungs, and then she was finally able to give the order completely in a calmer voice——

"——Kill Aoi." She gritted her teeth and said these three words in a violently trembling voice.

"I don't want to see this person again."

"Let her disappear!!"

"--Right now! Here!! Right now--no matter what you want, I will ask my father to give it to you!!!"

Ijuin Ayano's hoarse shouts resounded throughout the entire auditorium.

Hui Yuanchu watched silently, and actually felt a trace of sympathy.

Poor little Ayano, even though she had murderous intentions, she actually shouted it out in front of the public... It seems that her emotional control this time was as complete as before, and she didn't even have any sense left.

But even Kudou, who was usually submissive to her, would not carry out such an order in front of everyone at this time, because Kudou is not crazy yet.

——Besides, this Kudo is actually a craftsman’s doll, Haiyuan thought about it again.

Perhaps because the figures are so lifelike, he often forgets this.

Thinking about it this way, little Ayano felt even more pitiful.

This was a grand performance involving dozens or hundreds of people and puppets... working together to deceive her.

While Hui Yuanchu was thinking, he glanced at Kudo from the corner of his eye - his eyes suddenly condensed.

Kudo's expression twisted, and he really took out a folding fruit knife from his arms, and opened the blade with trembling hands.

The golden chain stretched out from her chest, swinging violently in the air, like a living snake.

impossible!Dolls shouldn’t…

Hui Yuan was stunned.

The next moment, Kudo really moved.She picked up the knife without saying a word and charged towards this side.

And at the moment when his thoughts were turning, Haiyuan noticed another strange thing - judging from his footsteps and line of sight, it seemed that Kudo's target was not Oruru Aoi... but him? ? ?
No matter what, Hui Yuanchu first reached out and pushed Zhe Lukui away.

Zhe Lukui was caught off guard and staggered a few steps.

All of a sudden, the positions of Hui Yuanchu and her no longer overlapped, and the distance between the two was clearly opened by one position.Then Haiyuan discovered with some relief that Kudo had indeed completely ignored Orukui's movement, and continued to rush towards him without even a moment's pause or hesitation.

...No matter what the reason was, at least Hui Yuan was relieved.

After all, if it were just a combination of an ordinary girl and a fruit knife, he wouldn't even need to think about it.

But looking at the strange expression that gradually appeared on Kudo's face, and the sudden and subtly slowing down of his sprint, Hui Yuanchu immediately instinctively felt a strange feeling in his heart...

Kudo had almost thrown himself in front of him.

But at this moment, a black shadow arrived just in time, and suddenly inserted between Kudo and Hui Yuanchu.

Haiyuan looked at Ayano who suddenly appeared in front of him.

She also had a look of confusion on her face, as if she didn't understand the current situation clearly.But before thinking, her body continued to act without hesitation - she jumped directly on him, using her body to block the blades thrust by Hai Yuanchu and Kudo.

Hui Yuanchu realized in an instant: Kudo's target was indeed not Zhe Lukui, but it wasn't him either.

However, if Kudo pretends to kill "Orihara Ash" first, then the person Kudo originally wanted to kill will not dodge, but will take the initiative to meet him as if he committed suicide.

The thoughts that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released by the ruling domain... From the beginning, Kudo wanted to stab Ayano.

But it’s okay, there is still enough time to deal with it.

Huiyuan put one hand around Ayano's shoulders, trying to dodge with all his strength——

But suddenly, his other hand, which was still hanging down, was grabbed by someone.

Hui Yuanchu held his breath for a moment and looked over with the corner of his eye - the person holding his hand was Orilu Kui, with a cold smile on his face.

After thinking rapidly and turning over thousands of thoughts, he gave up doing anything and just stood there.

As for Ayano, her body tensed up suddenly, and she unconsciously let out a silent exclamation.

From the back position, the knife penetrated her heart.

Kudo jerked out the fruit knife with a greater movement than thrusting, spurting out a large amount of blood, while gasping and retreating, and then let go of the knife.

The knife fell to the ground with a clang.Kudo's face finally showed a comfortable smile.

"I'm not your slave!!!" she said and started laughing.

But smiling, Kudo suddenly twitched violently like a puppet with its strings cut off, and fell down.

The other puppets around, the group of puppets who had been watching this scene numbly since just now, also fell down one after another as if some quick switch was pressed.

Hui Yuan initially frowned as he watched this scene happen, and then withdrew his gaze.

He hugged Ayano and knelt down as gently as possible, letting her lie on his lap... Although it was meaningless, he still tried his best to hold down the wound on her back.

But blood still gushed out like a fountain, instantly staining his lower body red.

Theoretically, this is the domain of Ijuin Ayano, or in other words, it is a dream she is having.Ijuin Ayano should not be able to die in her own dream.

Moreover, the ruling domain has spread to this point, which means that the evil spirit body of Ijuin Ayano has long been mature and is just waiting to bloom.Now this human body will be abandoned sooner or later. It is just a bud that can be broken at any time.

Everything Zuru Aoi has done so far has actually changed nothing. In essence, it just created an opportunity to urge blooming to occur.

Ijuin Ayano's fate... was already decided before they intervened.

Haiyuan knew all this, and Zhe Lukui had told him about it.

——However, perhaps because of what happened just now, Hui Yuanchu still felt confused at this moment, and unconsciously turned his head to look at Zhelu Kui beside him.

Then he realized that from just now, Orokui had been holding his hand tightly, and she still hasn't let go.

Oroku Aoi turned around and knelt down in front of Ayano.

...The hands they were still holding tightly were naturally placed on her knees by her - right in front of Ayano.

She just stared at Ayano and spoke in a voice with almost no emotion: "Ayano, you are going to die."

Ayano was drooping her eyelids, breathing weakly, and was completely speechless.

Hearing Orokui's voice, she tried her best to open her eyelids and seemed to adjust the blurry focus for a moment... Finally, she finally saw clearly the hands of the two people in front of her.

There was a slight whimper in her throat.

Oroku Kui continued: "...Just like I promised, from now on, I forgive you."

As she spoke, she touched Ayano's face with her remaining hand that was not holding Hai Yuanchu's.

"From now on, you will be with us too... because, I will always remember you."

Hui Yuanchu suddenly raised his head.

The tall blond messenger appeared not far away, looking at them with a meaningful smile on his face.
