Chapter 742: Pest Infestation
Tokyo.
The traffic lights flicker.
The bustling and prosperous streets are filled with a constant flow of vehicles, while pedestrians surge like a tide through the intersections, hurrying toward their respective destinations.
It is already noon, and the traffic has increased once again. With the changing of the signals, the vehicles move in an orderly fashion through the city.
At that moment, at the end of the road, the flow of traffic suddenly came to a halt.
The traffic in this area was instantly paralyzed.
A figure in a green robe was slowly walking in the center of the double yellow lines. It was a woman in her thirties, with wide sleeves naturally hanging down to the ground. One after another, terrifying poisonous insects crawled out from her sleeves, landing on the asphalt and spreading wildly in all directions.
Wherever she passed, the traffic stopped, and people trembled in reverence.
She is the seventh oracle of the “Pure Land,” known as the “Insect Disaster.”
Poisonous insects poured out from her sleeves like a wave, spreading frantically around her, searching every corner of the city.
To this day, the whereabouts of Yuzuri Black Zhe and Yuzuri Takuhaku remain unknown. Among the seven oracles, aside from the second oracle, “Heart Disaster,” who is best at searching for people, she is the most skilled. However, “Heart Disaster” had already died in Osaka some time ago, and the “Pure Land” has been seized by others, making it impossible to resurrect “Heart Disaster.” Thus, the task of finding Yuzuri and his son fell solely on her shoulders.
“Bow to the oracle—!”
“Bow to the oracle—!!”
“…”
The surrounding pedestrians knelt on the ground, and as the voices rang out, the Insect Disaster stared straight ahead, carefully searching every corner nearby through the poisonous insects she released.
Bang—!!
Suddenly, a piercing gunshot echoed in the sky.
A high-speed rotating sniper bullet sliced through the air, shooting out from a small window on a street, carrying terrifying kinetic energy aimed at the Insect Disaster’s head!
Puff!
The bullet struck the center of the Insect Disaster’s forehead, directly penetrating and creating a gruesome blood hole. Her head tilted back due to inertia, as if bending backward to align with the parallel road, yet her feet remained firmly planted on the ground, her body forming a bizarre arc.
From that gaping blood hole, white little insects surged out, rapidly repairing the shot-through brain. The bullet hole in her flesh was also filled, transforming into a white circular hole formed by the gathered insects.
The Insect Disaster’s body, which had leaned back, eerily straightened up again, with several small insects crawling in her eyeball, sending chills down the spine of anyone who looked.
She stiffly turned her head, her indifferent gaze directed toward the source of the bullet.
There, Shen Qingzhu, looking through the sniper scope, felt his expression darken slightly.
What kind of monster is this…
He quickly pulled down the bolt, reloaded the bullet, and aimed at the Insect Disaster’s left eye, pulling the trigger once more.
Bang—!!
This time, a dark green light circle flashed in the Insect Disaster’s left eye, instantly locking onto the bullet’s trajectory. She tilted her head slightly and easily dodged the sniper bullet.
She extended her hand, and from the wide green sleeves, her fingertips pointed toward Shen Qingzhu’s direction.
One after another, terrifying poisonous insects crawled out from the gaps in the walls, surrounding Shen Qingzhu from all sides, rushing toward him!
Seeing this, Shen Qingzhu did not hesitate for a moment. He directly dropped the sniper rifle, pushed himself off the windowsill, and leaped out of the window to evade the surrounding insect attack.
His body landed on the roof of a sports car that had been prepared below, and after cushioning the fall, he jumped back to the ground and opened the car door to get inside.
Vroom—!!!
With one foot on the gas pedal, the black sports car’s engine let out a beastly low growl. The wheels spun rapidly, wisps of white smoke rising, and in the next moment, the entire car shot forward from its spot, charging straight toward the figure in the green robe at the end of the road!
The window was down, and the wind rushed in as the sports car sped forward. Shen Qingzhu calmly held the steering wheel with one hand, while the other pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. He fumbled for a lighter from the passenger seat and, after several attempts in the wind, finally lit the cigarette.
He casually tossed the lighter out the window, took a deep breath, and exhaled the white smoke that swirled in the wind around him.
His eyes were fixed on the Insect Disaster, who stood like a rock in the distance.
The roar of the sports car echoed through the commercial center’s streets, and with the engine running at full speed, the car raced past the street, directly crashing into the Insect Disaster’s face!
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters…
A glint of determination flashed in Shen Qingzhu’s eyes. He suddenly opened the car door, leaped out, and jumped from the driver’s seat!
At that moment, however, the sports car did not stop.
A narrow iron rod propped the gas pedal down, and the steering wheel was fixed in place. Even without a driver, it continued to speed toward the Insect Disaster!
The Insect Disaster calmly stood before the sports car, her eyes flashing with disdain. Just then, the light circle in her left eye contracted slightly, as if she had analyzed something, and her expression suddenly changed!
Shen Qingzhu, who had jumped out of the car, rolled a few times on the roadside and turned to look at the sports car crashing into the Insect Disaster, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Boom boom boom—!!!
A deafening explosion erupted, a blinding and massive fireball bursting from the front trunk of the sports car, engulfing both the vehicle and the Insect Disaster, while the rolling shockwave sent traffic lights and trash cans flying, shattering the storefronts around them!
In the front trunk of that sports car, Shen Qingzhu had prepared twenty kilograms of explosives.
He had brought these explosives all the way from Hokkaido back to Tokyo, all for this moment.
The raging flames burned in the middle of the road, and all the poisonous insects on the ground were buried in the explosion. Shen Qingzhu held the black ring tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the center of the fire, seemingly waiting for something.
From the flames, the figure draped in a tattered green robe slowly emerged.
Charred flesh covered metallic bones, wisps of black smoke rising from the joints. The Insect Disaster’s hair had been mostly burned away, and the green light circle in her left eye flickered, making her appear inexplicably eerie.
This earth-shattering explosion had melted away part of the Insect Disaster’s flesh, but she was a modified human, and killing her was not so simple.
And Shen Qingzhu’s preparations were far from over.
But just as Shen Qingzhu was about to make a move, a figure shot in from the other side of the street, crashing heavily to the ground like a meteor, shattering the asphalt beneath.
It was a figure in a white robe.
The third oracle, “Weapon Disaster.”
