Chapter 352 Become my wife, right now!
"Ding-dong~"
The doorbell rang.
"Is there something you need?"
A tired-looking young woman came out to open the door and asked the people at the door.
"We're looking for a girl wearing a pink kimono, she's about this tall, have you seen her?"
Broly gestured to indicate the height and then asked the strange woman.
"I didn't see it."
The young woman shook her head indifferently and prepared to close the door, but the boy grabbed the door panel.
"Can I come into your house and take a look?"
Broly made an impolite request.
"No, hey, how can you be like this, kid? This is my house."
Broly didn't care about any of that, he just opened the door and rushed into the strange woman's house.
The woman's home was simple, but she had many beautiful clothes. There were some travel notes on the walls, but they only recorded the time, place, and what looked like amounts of money.
Of course, Broly didn't care about these things; he just searched for any place in this humble home where someone could hide.
The young woman tried to stop him, but he didn't care at all. Like a nimble monkey, he dodged the woman's hand and darted around everywhere.
They entered the room, searched the bathroom, and even opened the wardrobe in the woman's room.
"Clatter~"
Several unopened boxes of pink balloon covers fell out of the cabinet.
"There is no Yin and Yang here."
After searching the entire area, Broly turned around, dodged the woman's grabs, and ran away.
"Ah, Broly, it's not right to barge into someone's house. Well, I'm really sorry, this child is still young and doesn't know any better. We'll leave now."
After searching all the places he could find, Kurogiri Kanya finally jumped out and apologized to the furious woman.
"You broke into my house and ransacked my things. Do you believe I won't call the police?"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Kurohime Kaneya bowed and apologized, then left the room amidst the woman's grumbling.
"I thought this apartment building was uninhabited. I didn't expect it to be occupied. It's a good thing that no one came down to check the situation despite the loud noise downstairs."
The white-haired little nun said.
"A person, that might not necessarily be a person."
Aozaki Touko shook her head.
"Broly, you don't need to ring the doorbell anymore. Just break down the door and barge in when you see a room."
She said this to the boy who was already walking toward the next room door.
"Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Sakura asked.
"Click~"
Broly thought this would be a faster way to find people, so he simply pulled the door down.
This time, the apartment he entered contained a mother and son.
"Mom, where are you? My body hurts so much."
Inside the bedroom, the boy was crying out in pain.
"Koji, I'm coming right now."
In the living room, the woman holding a bottle of medicine, who had been hesitant when Broly entered, calmed down after hearing the boy in the room cry out in pain.
"Sorry to bother you, we will compensate you after you leave the room."
Rin Tohsaka said this, but the woman completely ignored the intruder and went into the next room after pouring a glass of warm water.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that they were being completely ignored, Rin Tohsaka looked at Touko Aozaki and asked a question.
"The doorbell is probably the switch for interaction, and since we entered without ringing it, we couldn't trigger any interaction with the residents here."
"Come on, take your medicine quickly."
Inside the bedroom, which was not closed, the mother was giving her child medicine.
"Mom, the medicine tastes so bitter, I don't want to take it anymore."
But the child didn't want to take the medicine because it tasted bitter.
"Honey, only by taking the medicine can you get better and stop feeling pain."
Under the woman's gentle persuasion, the boy still took the medicine.
He stopped breathing shortly after eating it.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I can no longer earn enough money to continue your treatment."
The woman lay on the boy's body, weeping bitterly, but despite her sorrowful voice and vivid expression, not a single tear fell.
"Don't worry, Koji, Mom will come to be with you."
The woman poured the remaining medicine into her mouth. Rin Tohsaka and the others tried to stop her, but Touko Aozaki stopped them.
"It's no use. The mother and child are probably already dead. This place is just playing a replay of their deaths."
To confirm this, Aozaki Touko stepped forward and broke off the woman's head. Kokutou Mikiya had just caught up and saw this scene. Before he could even exclaim in surprise, he saw that there was no blood flowing from the severed head in the puppeteer's hand.
"It's a doll!"
Ilya exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiaochuan Apartment is a giant barrier between life and death, containing the essence of Tai Chi. It is likely that many residents who are heading towards their end have gathered here."
Araya Souren maintains the existence of this giant barrier by recording the deaths of those people and using dolls to recreate their day from life to death.
"But wasn't that person already dead? Killed by Broly?"
"This is an inherent barrier based on the actual building; only by destroying the building can the barrier be broken."
Aozaki Touko took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said.
"Not here either."
Broly had finished searching for this family by then.
"Broly, we need to speed up the search for Ryougi Shiki. Here's what you do: fly to the roof of Ogawa's apartment building from outside, and then search for Ryougi Shiki's whereabouts in each room from top to bottom. Destroy any room where you don't find her."
"Destroy rooms where people are also present?"
"This is not human."
Aozaki Touko showed the boy the doll's head in her hand and said, "Destroy it too."
"Has something happened?"
Broly asked.
"I suspect Araya isn't dead yet."
Aozaki Touko said that she smoked cigarettes until they turned into cigarette butts.
Broly nodded.
But before continuing to search for someone to destroy the building, he first sent Rin Tohsaka and the others out of Ogawa's apartment.
"I'm worried about leaving you all inside."
Broly said, but he was still a little worried about the safety of Rin Tohsaka and the others.
"Don't worry, that guy can't teleport outside, but here Asagami and I are here. Her Mystic Eyes combined with my Gem Magic should be enough to deal with him, if that guy is still alive."
"And my Bajiquan."
Karen said at this point.
"I also have rocket punches."
Ilya raised her little hand.
"I also know some magic tricks and the two boxing techniques that you taught me, Broly."
Sakura also raised her hand, both looking quite reliable.
"Even if things really get dangerous, I can still contact you through the group chat, right?"
Rin Tohsaka noticed that the boy was still worried, so she added another sentence.
Mikiya Kurogiri: "..."
He's just an ordinary person, unable to protect himself, right?
Thankfully, Broly didn't contact Flowers to come along.
Hei Tonggan couldn't help but think of it.
"Then, I'll look at it from the bottom, and you can dismantle it from the top."
Aozaki Touko, a Grand Puppeteer, has the ability to protect herself against the possibly surviving Araya Souren, but she re-enters the Ogawa Apartment and forms a double demolition team with Broly, one above and one below.
Of course, Broly was searching for people while brutally demolishing buildings.
Aozaki Touko was searching for people while breaking the barrier around the apartment, doing so subtly by destroying key floor tiles.
"As expected of Aozaki, he figured out so quickly that I might have faked my death."
In a hidden room in Ogawa's apartment, Araya Sōren, now in a different body, muttered to himself.
To make his death seem more realistic, he deliberately used his original body to be hit and shattered by the boy.
However, although his body was destroyed, his consciousness was not, because his brain had been dug out beforehand, just like the puppets in this apartment who lived only a day and died at night. Their brains, which were originally human, were dug out and then kept in brain culture tanks.
"It seems that I don't have much time left."
Araya Sōren could sense that the Ogawa Apartments were being destroyed, and he connected his soul with the building.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
This building is like his other body, and now this body is being constantly destroyed, causing his new body to vomit blood continuously.
Is Broly's demolition speed fast?
Compared to his original strength, it is certainly slower.
Because he needed to find Ryougi Shiki's whereabouts, and he needed to consider that Ryougi Shiki, who might be somewhere in the apartment building, might be affected by his demolition.
Therefore, the only way is to check each room one by one, and only after checking each room can it be destroyed.
However, compared to demolition machines, Broly's demolition speed is not slow.
In less than a minute, he had demolished the top floor of Xiaochuan Apartment.
How many floors does Xiaochuan Apartment have?
With Aozaki Touko still helping with the search below, this hidden room will probably be exposed in less than five minutes.
As for the other side of the cathode building, there is still a group of dead bodies?
Come on, whether facing that terrifying boy or Aozaki Touko, the Grand Puppeteer, a bunch of corpses would be instantly killed. Being able to buy them ten seconds of time would be a blessing.
Araya Sōren focused his gaze on Ryougi Shiki in front of him.
Although we were completely unprepared for the brain transplant, now that the die is cast, we have no choice but to proceed.
Having missed this girl, who knows how long it will be before we see hope of reaching the source again.
There's no hope of reaching the source; without the cover of the Ogawa Apartment Barrier, the Suppressive Force will soon discover him.
Those guardians of the restraining forces may also descend at any time to find you and eliminate this threat that intends to reach the source.
A bunch of cables descended from the ceiling, one end of which was connected to a scalpel, and the other end to a brain, yet they were still connected to the building.
"Disconnect all connections outside this room. You only have one chance. The brain transplant surgery is about to begin."
In an instant, Araya Sōren lost his sense of the outside world. Without the pain he felt when the building was being demolished, he easily controlled the scalpel on the cable and aimed it at the girl's head lying on the steel plate.
How many steps are involved in a brain transplant? Strictly speaking, it requires many steps, but loosely speaking, it only requires four: open the other person's skull, take out the brain, put your own brain in, and then close the skull. That's it.
However, the scalpel suddenly stopped before it reached Ryougi Shiki's forehead.
"That was quite a nice dream."
As Ryougi Shiki said this, she sat up from the steel platform.
"What you're about to say is, how could you possibly break free from my Origin Ability?"
As the girl said, Araya Sōren uttered these words.
"Who exactly are you?"
Araya Sōren forced himself to calm down and questioned the girl in front of him.
"You've frozen the thoughts of my two external personalities, but left only the instincts of this body. Now you ask me who I am?"
The girl in the kimono spoke softly, like drifting clouds, but she asked a question in return.
"Impossible. Ryougi Shiki's body is connected to the Root. Her body's instincts are the Root. Are you trying to say that you are the Root?"
"It's incredible, isn't it? Even something as rigid as the Root, which records everything in the world's past, present, and future, can produce a personality like me with independent consciousness."
"Araya Sōren, when you brought me here, I had a very long dream. It was a dream about you. I know your life and everything about you. If you have any questions about the Root, I can answer them on behalf of the Root."
"Then I ask you, do people in this world have the value to be saved?"
Despite the absurdity of the scene before him, that the Root actually had its own personality, Araya Sōren chose to believe it at this moment and asked the Root his question.
"Don't you know the answer to the question of whether humanity has the value to be saved? You once tried to save all living beings, weren't those you saved the ones you thought were worthy of being saved? Or are you trying to deny your own existence?"
Araya Sōren did not refute, but after a moment of silence, continued to ask, "Do you believe in the principle of good deeds being rewarded and evil deeds being punished?"
"Human good and evil have no meaning to the root. The root is only responsible for recording everything in the world. The so-called good and evil retribution are just what certain collective wills think and expect to operate in this way, and then the world sometimes operates in this way."
"This is unreasonable. Those who do good should be rewarded with good, and those who do evil should be punished with evil."
Araya Sōren said sternly.
"So, do you consider your actions to be either good or evil?"
The root of the matter lies in Araya Sōren's heart.
"If I can establish a pure land on earth, what does it matter if I fall into Avici Hell?"
Go to the source, where you will know the lives of all beings in the past, present, and future. Analyze the lives of all beings, and classify people into good and evil. Good people will live and enjoy life in the world, while evil people will be stifled in the vortex of the source.
"Before, I didn't really care what you wanted to do."
In the face of the Root, all life within the world has no secrets. In other words, the Root already knew that someone was plotting against its physical body.
"But now I care. Shiki and Ori both have someone they love, and their feelings are affecting me, even though I was the one who affected them first..."
"Two Elements, I'm determined to have your body, Fearless, Vajra, Serpent..."
The three bans went straight to the root of the problem, even stabbing at the cables with a scalpel.
"There is already a boy inside the Vortex of Origin, but there is no room for you to enter from here."
The Root Style walked towards Araya Souren, but Araya Souren's prohibitions and scalpel attacks vanished into nothingness before reaching the girl.
"Hey, Master Araya, did you know that ordinary people can actually reach the Root? Whether they are good or evil, their souls will be taken back by the Root after death."
The Root Style did not launch any attack; it merely walked past Araya Sōren, and the opponent's body and brain began to dissipate.
"Is this earthly paradise truly just a dream?"
Araya Sōren muttered to himself. He used to feel pain for being unable to save all living beings, but now he felt that his life was a joke.
"I'm always having dreams over there. Sometimes I dream about other people, sometimes I dream about myself, sometimes I dream about the past, and sometimes I dream about the present. I hope that you, Master, can have a good dream in the Root (afterlife)."
He opened the door and went out, just as Broly was fighting his way here.
Upon seeing the girl, the boy immediately ran over.
"Liangyi, are you alright?"
He was very concerned.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
Genyuan picked up the dusty boy and apologized to him.
After all, she had clearly dreamt of the other person anxiously searching for her, but she didn't wake up early, making the other person search for so long and worry for so long.
"I'm glad you're alright. By the way, Miss Aozaki said that Araya Sōren might not be dead yet."
Broly wanted to nip the threat in the bud.
"Don't worry, he's dead. I can guarantee that. The building is about to collapse, let's go down."
The girl gently rubbed the boy's head in her arms, then carried him downstairs.
On the way, they met a puppeteer who was coming up, so they went downstairs together.
Just as they left Xiaochuan Apartment, the building collapsed completely.
The crowd came to greet them, but Broly suddenly looked up at the girl who was holding him and said, "Ryougi, agree to be my wife now!"
"Huh?!"
Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka and Sakura, who knew about the happiness stats, were taken aback.
"it is good."
But the girl in the kimono smiled gently and readily agreed.
"This proposal was anything but romantic!"
The white-haired little nun started complaining.
"Karen, and Asagami Fujino too, you both have to agree to be my wives right now!"
Araya Souren's kidnapping provokes Broly, making him eager to bring his reserve wife into the Crystal Palace and protect her fiercely.
