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

This scene was extremely familiar to him. What he saw on the street yesterday was a similar situation...

"Bone picker?"

"Ah, you really recognized me."

A voice sounded from the side out of thin air. The old man in a suit spoke to Biqigu in a respectful manner: "Sir, you don't seem to know what is happening in this city."

"..."

Hikigaya did not answer casually regarding the attitude shown by this special Red World apostle towards him, but watched the other person's movements with a stern expression.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything harmful to the balance of the world at will." Bone Picker Lamy said with a smile, "You should know that I only eat torches, and only the torches that are about to disappear. This body It is also the body of Torch that was borrowed in order not to consume the power of existence."

"Why did you come to see me?" Hikigaya hesitated and said the words that would least arouse suspicion.

"Because I want to tell you what I have observed." The bone collector said slightly, "Actually, when I was eating the torches in this city these days, I found that many torches had strange changes. After careful observation, Found that it is related to the legendary secret method of devouring the city. Faliagni seems to want to use the power of devouring the city to completely devoure the entire city's existence."

"Eating the city..."

"I know that you have your own destiny, so I am just telling you this information. Please make your own decision on how to do it."

The bone picker said this and disappeared as lightly as he had just appeared.

This time Hikigaya noticed the other person's movements as he left, but he did not pursue him.

The bone collector thought he was the ritual snake, and the information about Faliagni completely occupied his mind, making him realize that he had more important things to do at the moment.

It seems that we have to deal with that guy in advance. I hope that the Red Demon King will not disappoint anyone...

Chapter 47 H-Hikigaya-sama, you can't do that to me...

Chapter 47

After parting ways with Kazumi Yoshida from the art museum and returning home, Hikigaya took out the doll Marian from his body and used freestyle to actively release the other person's aura.

While he was thinking about what he needed to say when he faced Faliagni, he always felt like a robber holding hostages for blackmail.

Uh, that's a little too appropriate...

Of course, the difference between him and the kidnapper is that Marianne, the doll Hikigaya is holding, has no consciousness of being kidnapped and is even very cooperative with his actions.

Wait, isn't this because of being kidnapped and causing Stockholm Syndrome?

Did he really become a kidnapper?

"Hikigaya-sama, please do not kill the master..."

During the process, the doll Marian spoke to Hikigaya with a pleading look on her face.

Although the other party was just a doll, his posture and tone were so subtle that even Hikigaya felt unreasonably guilty.

No, no, why do I feel this way about a phosphorus created by the Red Demon King?

"Ahem, don't worry."

Hikigaya agreed with Marianne's words and said no more words.

Because he himself is still thinking about how to deal with Faliagni, everything still depends on what attitude the other party will show next.

Soon, as the scope of Hikigaya's freedom of influence became larger and larger, a certain Red Demon King who had been monitoring the entire Chiba City finally noticed the situation here.

He rushed towards Hikigaya's location at an unimaginable speed.

Finally, wearing a suit and a white ribbon, the red demon king named [Hunter], Faliagni, appeared alone in front of Hikigaya.

"You guy, Mariano is actually in your hands. Why haven't I noticed her aura?"

As soon as they met, Faliagni came over to charge and accuse him. His irritable look completely lost the arrogance and calmness he had when he attacked Sobu High School last time.

When Hikigaya saw this, his expression was calm, and he said calmly: "You look very anxious, just for such an ordinary doll, Hunter Faliagni?"

"You guys, do you want to anger me, Hikigaya Hachiman?" Faliagni looked at Hikigaya indifferently, "But after all, I am not a newcomer, but I have lived in this world for hundreds of years. Young Red Demon King, I will not be affected by your words so easily."

"Haha, that's what it looks like."

Bi Qigu answered with a normal expression, but his heart was not at peace.

From the other party's words, he could feel that Faliagni valued Marianne, but this importance was obviously not enough to threaten the other party.

Is it because of some back-up?For example, even if I kill Marianne, the other party can still be resurrected in some way?

Thinking of this, Hikigaya made a judgment and realized that he should use the second plan to deal with the opponent.

On the other side, Marianne saw this and said to Faliagni: "Master, please don't deal with Hikigaya-sama. I don't need you to worry so much about my affairs."

Marianne said this purely because she was worried about Faliagni and did not want him to continue to oppose Hikigaya and trigger a masquerade crusade.

But in Faliagni's eyes, his beloved doll actually turned its elbows outward and took the initiative to speak to a Fire Mist warrior. This was an unacceptable shock to him.

"Mariannu, have you been brainwashed by this guy?" Faliagni instinctively made this judgment, "Don't worry, Marianne, I will liberate you from this bastard soon. When that time comes, I will complete my original plan and make you a real existence!"

"Your plan? Do you mean to devour the city?"

"how do you know?"

Unexpectedly, Hikigaya actually revealed his plan directly. Faliagni showed an expression of disbelief: "Could it be that, Mariano, you told him?"

"Master, I..."

Marianne's attitude was already very obvious.

This made Faliagni's emotions reach the highest point, and he was almost enveloped in anger. He was now like a pitiful dog who watched his beloved being bullied, and his mood was extremely bad.

He originally boasted that he was the devil of the red world and would not be easily affected by his emotions. Now it was obvious that he was furious.

"Hikigaya Hachiman, you guy... what did you do to Mariano!? Could it be possible... what is your purpose?!"

Hikigaya looked helpless at Faliagni's words.

He felt that even if he said that he had done nothing, the other party would not believe him.

Damn it, this guy doesn't think he is a pervert who likes dolls!

"Ahem, calm down first." Hikigaya shook his head, "I think there may be some misunderstanding between us, uh... maybe not, but in short, you listen to me first."

"What do you want to say?"

Hearing Hikigaya's words, Faliagni glared at him angrily.

As the victim of a bull's head, he had worked very hard to be able to stand here and talk calmly to the yellow man in front of him.

"Forget it, it seems I have to speak frankly. Anyway, let's talk about the conditions that allow me to return Marianne to you."

"condition?"

Faliagni glanced at Hikigaya indifferently and spoke first: "You seem to have made a mistake. Do you think I really care about Marianne's safety? As the phosphorus I created, her existence She is closely related to me, even if you kill her, I can use my power to restore her."

"Really? Then why did you rush to me in such a hurry?" Hikigaya sneered, "Actually, you can't even accept her short death, right?"

"you……"

When Hikigaya revealed the truth, Faliagni's expression became extremely uncomfortable.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was what Hikigaya said next.

"And, in fact, shouldn't what you should be worried about be what I will do with your beloved Marianne? Haha, although I don't have that kind of hobby, I can definitely use her to do that kind of thing if necessary, and I can Do you think you can accept using her to do this kind of thing, and even do things you can't imagine?"

In order to stimulate Faliagni, Hikigaya went all out and directly launched a self-destruction attack.

The effect of this move was undoubtedly very good. Not only did Faliagni lose his balance, but even Marianne in his hand became hot. He said intermittently: "H-Hikigaya-sama... You can't do that kind of thing to me..."

"Hikigaya Hachiman!!!"

Faliagni gritted his teeth and murmured from his mouth, "I never expected to meet a Fire Mist Warrior like you, how on earth are you going to return Marianu to me intact!"

Haha, the fish finally took the bait.

Hikigaya looked at Faliagni who was losing control of his emotions and could go berserk and attack him at any time. After taking a deep breath, he spoke word by word:

"Hunter Faliagni, come and fight me in a duel of the Great Psalm!"

Chapter 48 Prepared Trap

Chapter 48

After Hikigaya finished speaking, silence suddenly dominated the entire space.

Neither Faliagni nor Doll Marian, the two red world beings expected that Hikigaya would make such a proposal in the end.

"Well, Hikigaya-sama..."

"Don't worry, I still remember the agreement between us, and I will not break it."

Hikigaya spoke calmly, allowing Marianne to completely relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

To Faliagni, this scene seemed like Hikigaya and his doll had some secret in common, and they didn't want him to know about it at all.

This made his already stormy mood even more volatile, making him unable to calm down.

"Hikigaya Hachiman, are you really sure this is your condition?"

"This is my condition." Hikigaya said with a calm expression, "Of course, even if you agree to me, I will not return Marianne to you immediately, unless you can beat me in the Daiming Psalm, then I As you expected, your beloved doll will be given to you."

"..."

In response to Hikigaya's request, Faliagni slowly fell silent.

He was obviously calculating the gains and losses in this matter, and there was some hidden reason behind Hikigaya making this request.

Finally, he smiled slightly and said, "I understand. If this is your request, I have no reason to refuse."

"So you agreed?"

Hikigaya emphasized the word consent.

Faliagni nodded nonchalantly and said: "Of course, I will fight you in the Great Psalm as you wish. If I win, you must return Marianne to me."

"Don't worry, in fact, once I lose, all the power of existence will be taken away by you, and I will have no ability to resist any of your actions."

Hikigaya waved his hand, as if he had already thought about what to do if he lost.

"Hmph, I don't think a guy like you will be so easy to deal with. As a hunter, I have a very accurate eye for people. You are a terrible poisonous snake that even I can't see through. You will definitely bite me if I am careless. Grab my throat and kill me completely."

"I don't think I'm as exaggerated as you think."

"Hmph, so be it."

"Do I need to prepare the specific time and rules in advance?"

"Of course, in fact, the Daming Psalm will give certain prompts at the beginning of the battle, including specific combat rules and taboos."

"indeed so."

Some time ago, Dr. Tandan Qiuzhu explained the specific concept of the Da Ming Psalm to all beings in the red world through television, which emphasized the existence of 'rules'.

To put it simply, the Da Ming Psalm is a forced combat mechanism. The battle is not without any restrictions, but must follow certain rules set by the Da Ming Psalm.

There will be no rewards for following the rules, but breaking the rules will inevitably lead to punishment. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the entire existence may even be completely wiped out.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Daming Psalm will inform both parties of the rules in advance, so both parties in the battle will definitely try their best to follow the rules and prevent themselves from being needlessly punished for violating the rules.

At the moment, because the existence of the Great Ming Psalm has just appeared, and so far no existence from the Red World has fought in the Great Ming Psalm, so the rules of the Great Ming Psalm are still very superficial, and there are currently only three rules.

Rule [-]: After both participants of the Daming Psalm confirm and agree with each other, they can engage in one-on-one battles in the Daming Psalm without interference from the outside world.

Rule [-]: The battle of the Great Psalm must take place within the scope of the Great Psalm.

Rule [-]: The winner of the Great Psalm will gain all the power of existence of the loser.

Just three simple rules.

In a sense, it is even very close to free play.

"Then, how about setting the specific time the day after tomorrow?" Hikigaya said casually, "At that time we will go to the designated place and officially start the battle in the Daiming Psalm."

"it is good."

Faliagni nodded calmly, his eyes fixed on Hikigaya, sizing him up, and said: "Originally, I thought I paid enough attention to you and tried to set up enough traps in Sobu High School, but I didn't expect you. You still did something beyond my imagination. How come a guy like you has never heard of it before, who is the Red Demon King who signed a contract with you? "

"Haha, you will naturally know this when you fight me."
