Truth is everywhere within range

In the mountains, there is naturally no cell phone signal.

Not to mention that if he was in the body of the old god, the callers might not be human.

The time displayed on the phone is ten o'clock in the morning.

Nearly an hour had passed since they left the village.

The old gods did not notice Qiao Qiao's actions.

Some kind of black slime began to appear on the walls of the cave.

The originally cold and hard rock suddenly turned into something soft and warm like a mixture of flesh and blood.

The road to the outside world behind Qiao Qiao was blocked by the creeping cave walls.

Even the ground beneath my feet began to become difficult to stand on.

"Ugh, that's disgusting."

Ariko waved the imperial coin, and a burst of spiritual power spread out, making the scene in the cave even crazier.

Slender and hairy tentacles like spider legs stretched out from the wall, grabbing everything in the outside world.

The upside-down Kamijou Shiori pressed his body against the wall, and his body gradually dissolved and turned into disgusting mud.

Presumably, the previous Mr. Miki was killed in this way, and his internal organs were eaten away. Since they stayed in the belly of the old god and were not digested, they could reach such a high degree of decay and maintain temperature in winter.

Qiao Qiao could imagine Mr. Miki originally thinking that he had an affair, but in his joy, he discovered that Kamijou Shiori had grown eight legs, and his mouth revealed countless layers of fangs to gnaw him clean from the crotch down.

As an ordinary person without spiritual power, Mr. Miki's death is actually just a piece of cake for the old gods. In addition to being able to create resentful spirits during a painful death, his biggest use is to be a victim of strange events and attract spiritual masters. .

Qiao Qiao didn't know when he took out the handle with spikes at the end from his bag, squeezed it gently, and blood flowed out, protecting himself and Yalizi.

"You can't escape anymore."

Kamijou Shiori, who had only one head left, made a low and hoarse voice. It was not a human language, but some kind of whisper that could be heard. It seemed that the old god wanted to arouse the fear in the two of them.

"It will only be melted, decomposed, and turned into food for my rebirth."

The entire cave quickly began to squirm and shrink, and in the end, only a ball made of blood remained.

Inside the sphere, Qiao Qiao supported Ya Lizi and glanced outside.

The old gods are constantly eroding the blood. The spiritual power comes into contact with the power of the old gods, and a large amount of white smoke is emitted. In order to save consumption, the blood balls are getting smaller and smaller.

"To be honest, I don't really want to use this."

Qiao Qiao took out an hourglass from his backpack with some distress.

The sand in the hourglass seems to be solidified, and it will not stir even if it shakes.

He injected a little spiritual power, and then the hourglass turned upside down.

Swish——

As the first grain of sand falls from the hourglass, the entire world loses its color.

With Qiaoqiao as the center, everything within a radius of five kilometers fell into hell.

[Disguised Hell] is a prop that can pull things within a certain range into a barrier that can last for up to one hour.

At this moment, among the mountains of Yamanashi Prefecture, the original restlessness suddenly stopped, and the looming giant spider suddenly disappeared.

Twisted trees, weird animals, small villages, all disappeared.

Only at the foot of the mountain are several houses that have been abandoned for many years, decayed and dilapidated, and covered with spider webs.

At the same time, on a certain space that overlaps here.

A huge spider fell into the mountains.

"What is this? I can't understand it. What is this? Where did it go? It's gone. Where is the fresh meat?"

He spoke incoherently, only a deep voice wailing in a crazy language.

puff--

In an instant, countless eyes opened on the head, abdomen, and legs of the spider as huge as a mountain.

He is like a creature made of eyeballs, peering around.

"It's really disgusting."

Ariko and Qiao Qiao were halfway up the mountain at this time. By entering the gap in the barrier of [Pretend Hell], they were able to escape from the belly of the old spider god and avoid the fate of being digested without doing anything. .

However, Qiao Qiao suddenly felt that if he summoned Tiancong Yunjian from the old god's belly just now, he might be able to break through directly from the inside.

He glanced at Ariko.

"Don't think about it. The old god's body is far stronger than you know. It's unrealistic to expect it to be cut from the inside."

After Ariko finished speaking, starlight appeared in her eyes, and her whole temperament changed.

"Tsk, hell? It's such an unpleasant place."

Tiancong Yunjian glanced around, the dark red sky, bloody earth, and decaying branches. Although it was not as mind-numbing as the real hell, the scene here was really desolate.

"That guy looks familiar. Maybe he had a clone before."

He glanced at the wriggling spider.

At this time, the eyeballs on the old spider god continued to peel off and fell to the ground. Slender legs stretched out from the eyeballs. Each eyeball was like a water strider, traveling at high speed on the ground, densely packed, looking for Qiao Qiao and The whereabouts of Ariko.

at the same time.

On the road outside the barrier.

"There are traces of the use of [Disguise Hell] in Yamanashi Prefecture, it's Qiao Sang."

Monk Eisei of Sensoji Temple, Hoshikawa Gogoto put down his mobile phone and said to the people around him.

"No problem, the deployment has been completed here."

Even though it was freezing and snowy outside, Ii Masaharu was still wearing only the hunting clothes of a priest and holding a bat fan in his hand.

He glanced behind him.

Each artillery piece has been installed. This is a small artillery piece using Izumo Heavy Industries technology. It can be pulled by a van. According to the technology development department, it is an artillery piece that can "be used normally in a hellish environment." .

At this moment, the muzzle of the artillery was aimed at an uninhabited foothill among the mountains.

Last night, the Soul Exorcist Association received a communication from Qiao Qiao using a special channel. That night, Masaharu Ii led a team to Yamanashi County, preparing to deal with the old god who might have broken the seal.

The people in the area have been evacuated, and only the spiritual masters are left in the mountainous area.

Just now, when Qiao Qiao was using [Camouflage Hell], its coordinates naturally appeared in Ii Masaharu's perception. He immediately ordered all the artillery to adjust their muzzles. As soon as the effect of [Camouflage Hell] ends, Hundreds of cannons fired with magic bullets will teach the Old Gods what mortal wisdom is.

"But, one hour?"

Ii Masaharu couldn't help but worry about the safety of Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko.

Within the boundary.

Countless eyeball spiders made rustling sounds, climbed up the hillside, and ran towards Qiao Qiao and Yalizi.

Silk threads hang down, and it seems that as long as you touch them, your mind will be taken away by the old god and you will fall into his control.

"I don't know how the deployment is outside. Once we enter here, all communication methods will be useless. It is a problem."

Qiao Qiao looked like he was staying out of it, and even took out a notebook to carefully record his experience.

"President Jingyi said he would arrive at ten o'clock, but what if he fails?"

"And it seems like this hourglass can't speed up the flow. Or does it mean that it has to cause certain damage to the environment here like in Limbo?"

"There's not even an instruction manual, how can kindergarten children use it?"

While taking notes, he also complained casually.

Snapped--

When the eyeball spiders came within a hundred meters of the two of them, Qiao Qiao finally closed the book.

"Although it can be handed over to President Ii."

He glanced at the huge Old Spider God that was moving towards here.

"But to be on the safe side, let's try to defeat him here within an hour."
