I, Hikigaya, the snake of the red world god's ritual!

"At the beginning of that war, the attack by our Fire Mist Warriors affected the masquerade party's plan to a certain extent. They obviously did not expect that so many people would be dispatched from our side at once. But as the battle progressed, the masquerade party's details gradually It appeared that the number of Red Demon Kings under their command was almost several times that of ours, and the battle soon fell into a disadvantage."

"In that case, some Fire Mist Warriors made an unauthorized decision to launch an indiscriminate attack on the entire Chiba City and end the masquerade conspiracy by directly destroying the entire Chiba City. This proposal was rejected by many Fire Mist Warriors, but at that time situation, but no one can prevent it from happening..."

After hearing the words of the city patrol, everyone at the scene couldn't help but stopped breathing.

After all, no one expected that Chiba City would almost disappear from the map a few weeks ago.

"It was under those circumstances that the guy showed up..."

"That guy?"

Hearing the sudden change in Cheng Huixun's tone, the expressions of the three people present were slightly stunned.

City Patrol, on the other hand, calmed down his spirit and spoke cautiously:

"Until now, the identity has not been identified, but it ended the war and even left a deep psychological fear in all the Fire Mist warriors present. No one knows what that thing is. It neither looks like the Red World Demon King nor the Red World Demon King. Unlike the Fire Mist Warrior, the only thing that can be determined is that the guy's body exudes a lot of ashes, like the residue of a ball of fire being burned to ashes..."

"Immortal Ashes, this is the title given to it by the Fire Mist Warriors after the battle. I don't know what happened to the Red World Demon King, but I think many people were frightened by that thing at the time. It is said that even the Red World Demon King He was so frightened that he gave up his body and fled back to the Red World.”

"Is it so scary?" Shana didn't take it seriously. She didn't think there was anything scary about an unknown existence.

"Is it scary...?" Cheng Guangxu shook his head, "No one felt pure fear from that thing. What the people involved felt was something more terrifying than fear. It was like a sudden explosion under the blazing sun. A dark figure appeared, or a twisted alien shape that looked human on the outside, but was filled with weird flesh... It was an instinctive horror towards some kind of weird existence that looked similar to itself, but was actually completely different. .”

The tone of the city patrol returned to calm little by little, and he spoke in a concluding tone: "In short, due to the appearance of the immortal ashes, the Masquerade and the Fire Mist Warriors each gave up their plans and fled Chiba as quickly as possible. The Snake of Ceremony The advent of the epidemic has also been terminated, which can be considered a good result."

Is it a good result...?

Hearing what Jouchou said, Hikigaya couldn't help but want to smile bitterly.

After all, the ritual snake whose arrival was suspended is currently sleeping soundly in his body, and may wake up at any time and continue to destroy the world.

I feel so tired and want to lie down.

And don't know why.

Whether it was the arrival of the ritual snake, the battle between the masquerade and the Fire Mist Warriors, or even the 'immortal ashes', he had no impression at all.

No, do you really have no impression?

Perhaps, my brain just deliberately forgot some important things...

Chapter 25

"Speaking of which, weren't you at the scene?" Shana listened, then suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Hikigaya, "Didn't you witness the specific situation at that time?"

Shana's words drew everyone's attention to Hikigaya.

Obviously, everyone is curious about whether Hikigaya, as an actual participant in the second human crisis, obtained any important information at that time.

Hikigaya fell into thinking about this and began to think about what kind of explanation he should give.

Finally, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I don't know. I was in a car accident and my condition became very bad. When I got to the hospital, I fell into great confusion and had almost no clear consciousness. In fact, if it weren't for what Senior Sister Cheng Hui said, I didn’t even know there was a battle between the Fire Mist Warrior and the Masquerade that day.”

"how come?"

After hearing Hikigaya's words, others instinctively didn't believe it.

After all, no dignified Fire Mist warrior ever lost consciousness due to a car accident.

As long as there is enough power of existence, the power of the Red World Demon King can often support the Fire Mist Warrior to recover countless times.

In response, Tian Ti Jie Huo slowly said: "I see, so the Red World Demon King who contracted with you has fallen into a deep sleep or some kind of weak state since then?"

"That's right, we can't provide any decent support anyway."

Hikigaya spoke half truths and half lies.

Only then did Jorou and Sakai Yuji realize that the Red Demon King signed by Hikigaya seemed to be very weak.

"By the way, Joukai-senpai." In order to change the subject, Hikigaya took the initiative to speak, "You said before that I was the first person to appear in the second human crisis. Does this word have any meaning?"

"Well, because according to the subsequent investigation, when the masquerade party plan started, you happened to be the first patient sent to the emergency room. It was the beginning of the whole incident, so you became the first person to show up." He smiled and said, "To be specific, it's like the fuse in the textbook, the king who was assassinated in World War I."

"Haha, I'm not happy about this at all."

After talking about this, this conversation is almost over.

Shana stood up with an unconvinced look on her face, curled her lips and said: "Hikigaya Hachiman, although you found the clue first this time, don't think you have won! I will definitely find the Red Demon King first, Destroy it completely and win the bet!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Hikigaya faced the girl's provocation with a calm expression.

He never cared about this bet from the beginning, let alone the conditions of the bet.

His attitude naturally made Shana very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only snort and leave angrily.

When Sakai Yuji saw this, he decisively wanted to leave with him.

But Hikigaya stopped him.

"Sakai Yuji, your power of existence is constantly being consumed, right?"

"??"

Not understanding what Hikigaya was talking about, Yuji Sakai nodded and said, "Yes, after all, I am a torch. Even if Mystis is a bit special, as long as all the fire of existence in the body is burned out, there is no way to recover." Normal."

Sakai Yuji doesn’t know about the Noble Phantasm in his body...

Hikigaya probably made a judgment, stared into Yuji Sakai's eyes and said, "So, are you willing to disappear like this? In other words, do you want to live?"

"Is this...possible?"

"I can help you."

Hikigaya spoke word by word, his heartbeat fluctuating, waiting for Sakai Yuuji's answer.

"Really...really?" Sakai Yuji showed a surprised expression, "Thank you so much. You are indeed a good person, Hikigaya-kun!"

Haha, that’s too superficial, Yuji Sakai.

I've never been a good person...

……

During the break after lunch, Hikigaya did not go to the service department, but went back to the classroom first.

In the classroom, the active group occupied the center of the atmosphere as usual, and there was a lively exchange of sounds between them, which sounded like canned laughter from a variety show.

The sound was so loud, it seemed like you could even see the subtitles.

Hikigaya didn't listen specifically, but the loud noise was like a passing typhoon, making his ears hurt. His position was in the center of the classroom, as if he was sitting in the eye of a typhoon.

Just when Hikigaya wanted to ignore the cash group as usual, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Aqi, where did you go at noon?"

"??"

Looking up, Hikigaya found that Yuigahama Yui had appeared in front of him at some point.

The other person's mouth was slightly bulging, and he seemed to be in a very angry state.

So he replied hesitantly: "Dinner with friends?"

"Liar, Aqi, how can you have friends?"

"No, no, I still have some."

"for example?"

"younger sister……"

"Shameless."

"I was wrong."

Hikigaya, who decisively admitted his mistake, looked at Yuigahama Yui's face and said with a confused look on his face: "By the way, why are you looking for me at noon? What's the matter?"

"I...I want to have lunch with you..." Yuigahama's voice suddenly became very quiet, "And I also want you to introduce me to the service club."

"what?"

Hearing Yuigahama's words, Hikigaya looked confused.

Yuigahama Yui's attitude surprised him.

He really didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to establish contact with him.

But this shouldn't be possible.

"Are you playing truth or dare?"

"what?"

Yuigahama was stunned for a while before she realized what she was doing. The girl's face suddenly turned red and she said angrily: "No! Idiot, idiot, idiot, Ah Qi!!!"

"Aqi is also a derogatory term?"

Seeing the girl leave in anger, Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was not the kind of person who liked to establish too many connections with other people. Now that there was a time bomb like the Ritual Snake in his body, he didn't want his problems to affect those around him.

Therefore, it is better to be a lone ranger.

After all, in the words of another famous anime protagonist – making friends only reduces your human intensity.

……

After taking things from the classroom, Hikigaya came to the service department.

Yukinoshita sat in the center of the club as usual, looking down at the book in her hand.

When Hikigaya saw this, he wanted to ask about Chiba Second Municipal Hospital, but when the words came to his lips, he was inexplicably unable to say them out.

what happened?Don't you want to break this tranquility?

No, no, it’s just pure social fear...

In any case, Hikigaya ended up reading books in the club with Yukinoshita as usual.

Until a certain moment, Hikigaya felt a huge force of existence suddenly descend on the entire campus, covering everything around him!

Chapter 26 Arrival of the Red Devil

Chapter 26

In the spacious classroom of the Service Department, Hikigaya and Yukinoshita were sitting on opposite sides of the table.

Both of them turned the pages of the books in their hands, and the rustling of the pages could be heard from time to time.

Suddenly, Hikigaya felt a gaze lingering on him for a while. He raised his head, only to find that the other person had buried his head on the Bunko notebook in his hand again.

"Uh, what's the matter with you?"

Hikigaya asked an incomprehensible question.

"To suddenly talk to me, you really have good self-judgment."

"No, even if you respond with sarcasm now, you were indeed looking at me just now. Don't underestimate the sensitivity of lonely people to sight."

"Is it only in this aspect that I feel superior..."

Yukinoshita seemed helpless at Hikigaya's speech and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

"To be honest, I originally thought you wouldn't come back."

"Well, originally I did want to run away, but Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed his fist at me and said that if I dare not come, he will use Kusanagi Kyo's skills to KO me with one punch. Is this what the teacher said? "

"Hahaha, it's that person's style."

A smile appeared on Yukinoshita's face.

That smile was almost foul, and it made the lonely Hikigaya's heart beat faster for no apparent reason.

"Cough cough."

After forcing himself to regain his composure, Hikigaya was about to follow the topic and ask about what happened when he was hospitalized in a car accident, when he suddenly found that Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him was frozen in place.

Yukinoshita, who was originally as beautiful as a doll, now not only has her movements stopped, her eyeballs, hair and even blood vessels have completely stopped moving.
