IUD-CHAPTER 253 RESIST
“Clang—!”
In that fleeting mont, an unprecedentedly dazzling crimson radiance burst forth in the aria.
No.
Rather than calling it a burst, it was more like an explosion.
Just like flas ignited by pouring oil, the crimson light surged violently from Hidan, resembling the flas of rebellion or riot. The performance seed like the startle of a wild beast suddenly awakening from slumber.
At this ti, Fang Li’s dagger had already penetrated half of Hidan’s Death Line, cutting that extrely fine crack-like Death Line in two.
To cut off the remaining half, not even the blink of an eye would be required.
However, Fang Li was unable to sever the remaining half of the Death Line no matter how he tried.
With the explosion-like burst of crimson light, Hidan’s speed, as it flashed through space, abruptly increased. Before Fang Li could manage to cut through the remaining half of the Death Line, it glittered into space and shot past with extre speed.
Thus, as a blade of light, Fang Li skimd past Hidan, his figure flashing by.
As for Hidan, it transford completely into a crimson laser, entering the Koyomi Kagami.
“Pū Chī—!”
This was the sound that a bullet makes when it pierces through flesh.
The tal bullet that granted an exceptionally potent superpower to a person traversed spaceti at this mont, returning to three years ago, and ruthlessly pierced through Aria’s back, who was facing away from everyone, through the Koyomi Kagami.
“Ah...”
This urgent cry of despair reached through the Koyomi Kagami from three years ago and entered the ears of everyone present.
Shortly afterward, Aria within the Koyomi Kagami slowly slumped to the ground.
The scene ca to an end here.
“Buzz—!”
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the Koyomi Kagami suddenly trembled, fading away like ripples dissipating on the surface of water until it gradually disappeared.
The whole scene fell into silence.
At this mont, Aria seed stunned.
At this mont, Shirayuki wore an expression of incredulity.
Even Sherlock, seemingly unprepared for such a sudden turn of events, widened his eyes slightly in surprise.
“Ha... ha... Hah...”
Fang Li’s breath began to hasten. He knelt half on the ground. The white phosphorescence that had been burning like flas on his body gradually subsided, ultimately vanishing completely.
The ice-blue Mystic Eyes in Fang Li’s eyes dimd, returning to a pair of dark-colored pupils.
And beneath those dark-colored pupils, weariness and astonishnt gradually surfaced.
The weariness stemd not just from his body losing a significant amount of moisture but also from using the Stigma.
The astonishnt was directed at the phenonon that Hidan had just triggered.
“Hidan reacted to my attack?”
This phenonon wasn’t necessarily significant, nor was it insignificant.
To say it wasn’t significant was because Hidan was inherently a miraculous tal, and it might have a chanism to trigger certain phenona when subjected to attacks.
To say it wasn’t insignificant was because the phenonon Hidan had just triggered could prove one thing.
“Could it be that... Hidan, the crimson Hihiirokane, possesses consciousness?”
This conjecture was confird.
“...You’re right, Fang Li-Kun,” Sherlock turned his gaze towards Fang Li’s body, and his eyes displayed a depth and enlightennt that had not been seen before, as he said, “Indeed, the crimson Hihiirokane does possess consciousness, and its intelligence might even surpass that of humans.”
Therefore, when Fang Li’s attack posed a fatal threat to Hidan, the consciousness of the crimson Hihiirokane was awakened. In order to avoid being killed by Fang Li, it proactively triggered its ability, causing Hidan’s speed to increase greatly and escape Fang Li’s attack.
“This also ans that your recent attack on Hidan had an effect, and it’s truly astonishing,” Sherlock marveled, “Being able to negate superpowers and affect non-living entities, while also potentially inflicting near-fatal damage to human bodies upon contact. I never expected you to possess such an ability. The title of ‘Gun Magician’ is simply inadequate for you.”
“However, it seems your attack didn’t entirely succeed,” Sherlock sighed, directing his gaze squarely at Fang Li and saying, “But because of your attack just now, all the mysteries have finally been unraveled.”
“All... the mysteries?” Fang Li t Sherlock’s gaze.
“The mysteries of Hidan within Aria’s body, and...” Sherlock shifted his vision to another direction, gazing at the girl with profound intent, “the mysteries surrounding Hotogi Shrine.”
“Hotogi Shrine?” Fang Li’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked towards Shirayuki.
There, the billowing steam that had surrounded her had dissipated. Shirayuki, who seed to have had her ability canceled by Sherlock, sat slumped on the ground. With a complex gaze, she looked at Fang Li, silent.
At this mont, Aria’s exclamation suddenly rang out.
“Great-grandfather?!”
Accompanied by Aria’s flustered voice, Fang Li and Shirayuki reacted and imdiately turned towards Sherlock.
There, Sherlock’s appearance had unexpectedly changed.
From his original appearance as a handso man in his twenties, he slowly began to age.
It was only natural.
Sherlock’s lifespan had been extended due to Hidan’s influence.
Now, since Hidan had traversed ti and had been inherited by Aria from three years ago, Sherlock, who lost the ans to extend his lifespan, naturally began to wane.
“My ti is up, huh.”
Sherlock’s expression didn’t hold a trace of panic; instead, it carried a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted.
“Being able to unravel the two mysteries that have been on my mind until the very end, I can leave without regrets.”
Sherlock looked at Fang Li, and a gradually aging face broke into a cheerful smile akin to that of a big boy as he spoke those words.
“You’re an incredible person. Right from the start, you did things that were unexpected, and even at the curtain call, you surprised once more. Until now, no one has been able to achieve this level.”
“With soone like you as Aria’s partner, it seems I can rest assured.”
“Therefore, Fang Li-Kun, I’m entrusting my great-granddaughter to your care. I hope you can stand together with Aria, face the upcoming fate, inherit my research, and soday unravel the mysteries of the crimson Hihiirokane.”
Leaving these words behind, Sherlock turned around and walked away slowly.
“Wait...!” Fang Li struggled to stand, but due to the fatigue of his body and soul, he knelt down again.
“BOOM...”
At this mont, the entire hall began to tremble.
No, it should be said that the entire submarine was trembling.
The unusual vibration told Fang Li.
This submarine was rapidly ascending from the seabed, heading towards the surface at full speed.
As for Sherlock, he ascended a staircase and disappeared from Fang Li’s sight.
