Chapter 2205-2.203 The Aura of a Demon

Of course, as a seasoned gamer, Wu Chen's most memorable eight-foot lady is Alcina Dimitrescu from Resident Evil.

Moreover, this monster, which feeds on resentment, was born in the dream of Lady Yuanjiang, who should have been dead. Indeed, it's similar to the "Dream of Death and Birth" that Wu Chen encountered in his adventure in *Return to the Sky*. She is the female demon, Lady Yachi, born in the dream of the deceased Lady Yuanjiang.

But unlike the female demons who are born from nothing, this eight-foot-tall lady before us is the offspring of a demonic seed planted by a human. In the classification of Japanese spirits, she belongs to the category of incorporeal vengeful spirits. Unlike "ghosts" or "monsters," vengeful spirits originate from the intense emotions following human death; they are the manifestation of the human soul.

For short Japanese people, the imposing presence of the eight-foot-tall Lady was terrifying. However, for the Cyber ​​Serpent, a member of the full-size Transformers, even in her 12-foot female Transformer form, the oppressive feeling far surpassed that of the eight-foot-tall Lady. Moreover, in her half-demon form, utilizing Cybertronian black technology called "Parts Compression," her silver, snake-like body lifted Consort Qin Hong high above the roof beam. As the saying goes, "We're both seasoned foxes, why are you playing these ghost stories with me?"

The Eight-Foot Lady's main skill of harvesting souls by amplifying fear was completely ineffective against Consort Qin Hong.

Her only advantage is her intangible form.

Therefore, Consort Qin Hong made a decisive move and began her own "Slaughter Waltz".

Unlike the "Large-flowered Snake Whip Pillar Flower" of Consort Xu Jingshan and the "Snake Eye Chrysanthemum" of Consort Xing Xiaolu, Consort Qin Hong's "Blood Queen's Thorn Waltz" used the smaller "Snakeberry Flower".

Snakeberry, also known as "Dragon's Breath" or "Dragon's Bite," has five obovate yellow petals that are uniform in size and have rounded edges, arranged in a standard radiating corolla of the Rosaceae family. The overall appearance is that of delicate, pure yellow flowers, shining like "little suns" amidst the green foliage.

Of course, besides size, the precision of the micro-shaping of deformable particles is also a crucial factor. Although the wild strawberry flower is smaller than the coreopsis, it only has five petals, while the coreopsis has eight to fifteen. Its complexity is almost three times that of the wild strawberry flower. It's like how the more leaves a photovoltaic panel has, the higher its energy concentration. Clearly, Consort Xing Xiaolu is the most powerful among the four cyber snake spirit sisters.

As soon as "The Dance of Slaughter" was unleashed, Madam Yachi was like a mutant who had stumbled into a laser killing field in Resident Evil 1, and was shredded to pieces by the laser feast without any resistance. Only Madam Yuen-chi was left, lost in a dream and unable to be awakened.

Consort Qin Hong immediately took out the "Regeneration Cocoon" to wrap herself up, repairing the physical wounds, and then used virtual reality technology to complete the level in one life to awaken her. Even if her spirit body was injured as a result, Wu Chen could use the one-click reset reverse causality law to make up for it in a minute. This was nothing.

Wu Chen and his female companion are experts at restarting the unique branching storylines of characters in the story. If all else fails, there's also a one-click reset that ignores the limitations of the "original save point" and directly traces back to the "original memory point" of the story characters.

Like the previous dilapidated houses, this largest samurai residence also vanished in the "lead fog".

The aura of the monster that had been concealed by the strange object in the castle town was finally revealed.

Like smoke signals being lit, the black and red aura soaring straight into the clouds all originated from the Heavenly Guard (Pavilion) that dominates the city.

The earliest castle tower originated with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the last shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate, who built it at his residence in the Muromachi Palace. At that time, it was called Tenshu (天主). When Oda Nobunaga added Gifu Castle, it was called "Tenshu" (天守). This four-tiered castle tower marked a turning point in the evolution of the name from "Donshu" (殿守) to "Tenshu." Nobunaga's addition of Azuchi Castle was the first castle tower to have more than five tiers. In front of the "Tenshu" tower at Azuchi Castle were many four-tiered towers called "Donshu" (殿主) or "Donshu" (殿守), such as those at Itami Castle, Shigiyama Castle, Tamonyama Castle, Rakuda Castle, and the Shizukatsu-ken tower at Edo Castle. After Azuchi Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi promoted castle tower architecture throughout the country. The Osaka Castle castle tower, built under his supervision in 1585, was a five-tiered tower type, becoming a model for castle towers nationwide. Hideyoshi also oversaw the construction of luxurious castle towers such as Fushimi Castle. After the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt the Fushimi Castle castle tower and moved the Yamato-Koriyama Castle castle tower to Nijo Castle. In 1610, the earliest tiered tower-style castle tower appeared at Tanba Kameyama Castle, significantly influencing the design of castle towers. In 1615, the Tokugawa Shogunate issued the "One Castle Per Province Edict," strictly limiting the construction and renovation of castle towers.

Wu Chen, using his fleeting True Sight, discerned the origin of this powerful demon: "The female demon Hannya." Hannya has two horns on its head and muddy eyes; it is a demon manifested by a woman driven by intense jealousy and resentment. Many stories of women transforming into Hannya circulate in Japan, including in the game *Onmyoji*. Japanese women seeking revenge often tattoo Hannya on their bodies to express their resolve, as seen in *The Tale of the Alluring and Poisonous Woman, Hannya Abai*. Also a vengeful spirit, its origin lies in a person's jealousy causing their soul to leave their body while they are still alive, and this soul can attack or even kill the person they envy. If the soul can return to the body and regain its rationality, this state is called "generation." When hatred dominates the mind and rationality cannot be restored, the person transforms into a demon, namely, a "Hannya."

The question is, who exactly is it that conjured up the female ghost Hannya out of intense jealousy and resentment?

“Master, the host of the female ghost Hannya must be an extraordinary woman.” Captain Yuko, the courtesan of Gobancho, remarked with feeling.

“Yes.” Wu Chen agreed: “A being capable of giving birth to a demon of the same level as the female ghost Hannya must be a powerful being of the female protagonist level.”

"Then let's go and unveil her evil veil." After settling their newly gathered companions, the Extinction Team 2 immediately assembled and charged towards the castle tower, which was surrounded by the castle town.

"Everyone be careful, there may be monsters blocking your way in the dilapidated houses along the way." Wu Chen gave a spoiler in advance: "And most of the hosts come from the 12 Daiei Nemuri Kyoshiro series."

As they were talking, the town ahead seemed to turn around strangely, like a carousel. The road leading to the castle tower was blocked by a Gassho-zukuri (a type of traditional Japanese house).

I initially thought these monsters, unrelated to the main storyline, could be ignored. Now it seems that only by clearing away all the obstacles can we reach the final battleground.

"Master?" Captain Yuko, the courtesan of Gobancho, asked Wu Chen.

“This is a classic ‘stepping on squares’ game.” Wu Chen really understood the players: “The ‘Gassho-zukuri’ is a special square. Only by stepping on it will the board be fixed. In this way, the others can pass through quickly. And so on, as people leave the squares they have stepped on, the rest of the players can go to the castle tower.”

"I see." Captain Yuko, the courtesan of the fifth district, then asked, "Do we need to step on all the squares at the same time?"

“No need,” Wu Chen said confidently. “Stepping on it will stabilize the chessboard.”

"Understood." The head courtesan of the fifth district, Yuko, immediately asked her companions, "Who wants to go first?"

"I'll go first." It was Yuan Wen, the third concubine who had won easily earlier.
