Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 385 The Murderer Attacks Again

"Probably so." Wu Yifan nodded, "We have to think of a countermeasure."

How about luring him out—?
Kazuya was about to speak, but the door of the conference room was knocked open.

"President! Something is wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of people hurried to the office on the 14th floor.

Many people have gathered in the corridor.

Akira Nakazawa came over, and everyone gave way silently.

He looked inside, the office was full of blood, and the three exorcists were in a miserable state of death, sitting in a row against the blood-stained wall... No, to be precise, they were "standing" together, because their The body was separated from the waist, the feet were neatly placed on the opposite wall, the toes pointed at the head of the corpse, and there was a deep bullet hole between the eyebrows.

"What's going on?" Akira Nakazawa asked softly.

At this time, several people stood up, and they were the first to discover the body.

"When we passed this room, we suddenly heard a gunshot coming from inside, but when we broke in, it was already like this."

Akira Nakazawa's forehead was throbbing with blue veins.

Of course, the shot could not have been fired by the exorcists themselves, but the murderer chose to end their lives after torturing them.

The point is that there were still people walking outside the corridor at that time, and the few companions who were killed couldn't even call for help. One can imagine how desperate they were inside.

There was obviously only a wall separating them, and heaven was outside, but those companions had to endure hellish torture.

And that last shot was a provocation to all the exorcists.

Akira Nakazawa looked towards the window of the office, where the murderer should have slipped away.

But he didn't check it out, because he couldn't find it, and there wasn't even a trace of magical power remaining here.

There was silence, but the hearts of most exorcists were filled with anger.

Anger overwhelmed fear, and they wished they could tear the murderer into pieces.

"Clean it up," Nakazawa Akira took a deep look at the three corpses, "let's cremate them in the parking garage. Everyone else, step up your guard and go to the arsenal to prepare your equipment. Don't sleep from now on The office and the utility room are gone. Everyone is resting in the hall or corridor and can take care of each other. In addition, since the murderer has broken through the company, it means that the outer barrier has been bypassed by him. I need the presence of magicians Please do me a favor, I will build a powerful detection barrier inside the company, I need magic power, no problem?"

Some people nodded. They were magicians in the association, accounting for about [-]%.

Akira Nakazawa sighed secretly, he didn't expect that the blood of the Arakawa family was so strong that even the weakness of the barrier could be easily found.

No wonder Arakawa Hideyoshi guarded a large area of ​​West Lake by himself decades ago. Killing monsters is like chopping vegetables. This is a gift from heaven.

However, people with such power have now become enemies, which is simply tricky.

Although Akira Nakazawa originally planned to set up a new barrier, but the exorcists had just gathered together, and before the fatigue disappeared, the murderer attacked, and it was impossible to guard against.

However, the enchantment cannot completely guarantee everyone's safety, at most it will last for a few days.

This is because the bloodline ability of the murderer is too perverted, and the analysis ability is full, so before he finds the destruction point of the barrier, he must remove the barrier and re-establish a different barrier from the previous one, so as to temporarily avoid the attack.

Just when everyone was preparing to act according to Akira Nakazawa's words.

But it was six people who stood up.

Nakazawa waited for what they would say, and the six bowed deeply.

"President, we have to withdraw from the association."

All the people present were in an uproar, but the noise quickly subsided.

"We know it's selfish of us to do this, to leave everyone at a critical moment...but we want to survive. The killer's target is the Exorcist Association, so as long as we quit the association, we will probably be safe."

We did not accuse these six people.

Not only that, after hearing these words, some other people also had the idea of ​​withdrawing from the membership.

They have already been born and died in the ghost gate once, and they stayed on Mount Fuji with the determination to die.

Even survived the tide-like offensive of monsters, and now he is going to die at the hands of an inexplicable murderer?

...There is really no need to be involved in this matter, it is really terrible.

Even the headquarters is not safe anymore. If you stay here any longer, you will be dead.

If all exorcists are compared to a city wall, then this murderer is like a highly skilled craftsman. Today he will remove a few bricks, and tomorrow he will remove a few bricks there. Even the strongest city wall may not be able to withstand it. Live with such torture.

Akira Nakazawa remained silent, neither allowing nor agreeing.

He knows in his heart that he can only stick to this place, and must not disperse, otherwise it will really be over.

Because the murderer is not targeting the exorcist association, but the exorcist!
If killing ordinary people is to satisfy blood thirst, then the exorcist can be said to be the source of power.

This point has already been explained by Wu Yifan and Asano Monk. After all, their understanding of [Murder Art] is a bit deeper than Akira Nakazawa.

The reason why the exorcists of the Arakawa family from generation to generation are so powerful is because their bloodline ability can help them accumulate combat experience exponentially.

It's like a cheater in a game. If you beat monsters to level up, he can level up several levels by hitting monsters.

And judging from the current strength of the killer, he can easily kill at least five or six exorcists.

The six people in front of them can only die when they leave the meeting.

But Akira Nakazawa couldn't find any good reason to keep them. If the purpose of murderers is to become stronger, wouldn't vampires and magicians be better choices?

If they are forced to stay, there will inevitably be gaps in the hearts of many people.

The morale of the army is turbulent, which is a taboo.

——Unless, tell the true identity of the murderer, and exchange the truth for everyone's trust.

Akira Nakazawa wanted to ask Wu Yishan and Asano Sengzheng for their opinions with his eyes, but when he turned his head, he saw a slim figure on the stairs.

"You six, if you leave the association, you will die."

The person standing by the stairs in the corridor is Qianyue Qiuxue.

She held the suitcase in one hand and handed the white coat to Qiuyue.

"What do you mean?" Someone asked.

"Literally, once you leave here, you will be immediately targeted by that murderer. I know the true identity of that murderer. He is not targeting you, he is just taking 'nutrients'."

"Do you know the true identity of the murderer!?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't sit still, eager to try, and wanted to jump up immediately to kill that guy.

Akira Nakazawa frowned, could it be that Qianyue Qiuxue was going to tell the story?

Logically speaking, she should be the person who least wants this matter to be exposed.

Because once exposed, no one can predict what Arakawa Nozomi's reaction will be.
