Chapter 1044 The Weight of the Heart

"Well, from the perspective of the transaction, it is indeed a settlement. But, when Higashino-kun was in the Middle East, did you hear a proverb?"

"proverb?"

Chardonnay crossed his arms and talked eloquently, not intending to take the suitcase in a hurry: "The reborn dead, if they want to represent the 'Reed Plain' of happiness, they must first weigh their hearts."

"The weight of the heart... Xia Duo, what do you mean?"

Higashino Xinghei frowned slightly, maintaining the posture of handing out the suitcase, and staring at each other vigilantly with those hanging corner eyes.

"This 'Scale of Judgment' was unearthed in the third dynasty of Egypt 2,500 years ago. It was originally hidden in the Science Museum in London. It is said to be the oldest balance in human history."

In the hands of Chardonnay, at some point, there was an extra pair of stone balances with primitive shapes and rough materials.

"According to the "Book of the Dead", Anubis used it to weigh the heart of the dead under the supervision of the gods..."

Before he finished speaking, Higashino Xinghei in front of him suddenly stopped moving and scattered into yellow sand on the ground.

"If the heart is lighter than the 'Feather of Truth' of the goddess Maat, it proves that the dead person was very upright and kind during his lifetime, and he is qualified to go to the beautiful reed field."

Even though the black suitcase fell heavily to the ground, Chardonnay had no intention of searching for Higashino Kohei.

"But if the heart is heavier than the 'Feather of Truth' due to the sins of life, the deceased will be eaten by Amit named "The Devourer of Undead"..."

"Of course, there is another special situation... If the heart is as heavy as the 'Feather of Truth', this person will become a servant of the underworld, guarding the 'Balance of Judgment' forever. "

A pure white feather popped out from between his fingers, he lowered his head and continued to mutter to himself.

"How heavy is your heart...?"

At the same time that the feather fell on one end of the balance, the other end of the day, which was empty, began to rise and fall strangely...

"Ugh!!!"

Not far away, a man's painful roar suddenly sounded.

"Xia Duo... you... what did you do to me..."

Higashino Kohei clutched his chest, and appeared from under the base of the tower on the other side.

At this moment, his heart seemed to be strangled by someone, and even the flow of Assamite hemostasis in his body stopped.

"Uh ah ah ah..."

Trembling violently, his body melted into a puddle of plasma, and in the process of twisting and deforming, several "Higashino Kohei" with the same body shape and appearance split out...

Even so, this heart-wrenching pain still couldn't be transferred from the "main body".

"Wow, it's the 'Blood Shadow' of the blood race. Is it fused with the ability similar to the incarnation of the demon? It's so subtle that even I can't tell it apart..."

"It seems that you violated the 'DietCode' in the 'Hundred Ghosts of the Night Festival' and collected quite good bloodlines."

Staring intently at the balance in his hand, Chardonnay smiled: "Ah, I haven't finished talking about the 'proverb' just now..."

"Similar to the "Balance of Judgment" and "Feather of Truth", there is another object called "Heart of the Dead". "

"In the past thousands of years, dark wizards in Europe often implanted the "heart of the dead" into the corpse, and used this set of rules of resentment to refine obedient "servants of the underworld"..."

"Even, in order to obtain a strong enough corpse, they did not hesitate to create a tragedy like the 'Black Death'."

As the swing gradually weakened, the two ends of the undulating balance began to move closer to the same horizontal line...

"Then, is there a possibility that the mystery why a certain half-assamite blood insists on a vegetarian diet and can still maintain such a strong blood is because an indestructible "dead heart" is implanted in his chest? "

At the moment when the balance was still, the name "Higashino Kohei" in the field exploded into gravel.

"Chardonnay...you...damn..."

Amid the flying yellow sand, there was only Higashino Kohei who stood there blankly with an expressionless face remaining.

"I... absolutely... will not obey you..."

A stiff roar squeezed out from his throat, but his body stood beside Shadonod in a submissive posture.

"Fortunately, the side effect of 'the balance user must pay his life' is offset by the rule of 'untouchable' with the power of shadow."

"Although the conditions of use are somewhat harsh, it is indeed a set of grievances that exist in myths and legends. Even the mighty Assamai clan cannot be exempted from the 'rules' in it."

Patting Higashino Yukihira, who "dislikes straight mouth and body", Chardonnay lifted the suitcase on the ground, and looked at Tsukage Chikusa who was "observing secretly" behind the coffee table in the distance: "It's been a long time, "Hell Revolution" Your Mightiness. The 'equipment' and assistants are complete, let's go on to set up the 'site'. "

"Equipment? Assistant? Venue? Again?!"

Tsukage Chikusa didn't even have time to react, his vision was already blackened by the shadows pouring in like water.

…

Yamanashi Prefecture, Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, outskirts.

In the sunless and lifeless black sea of ​​trees, more than a dozen men in black suits were silently searching among the trees.

"Patriarch, this is the tenth corpse of "Shou Chen Ding" found... Like the previous ones, all of them were physically fatal injuries, and there was no spiritual power or resentment fluctuation left at the scene. "

Looking carefully, these men all wear a small pentagram emblem on their chests.

"Also, there is a kind of vine that has never been seen parasitizing in the bodies of these guards, and has a strange reaction to the spiritual power of us..."

Under the trees and in the grass along the way, several black-robed priests were lying in a mess.

"There is no need to delve into it. Shouchen Ding is a secretive existence of Yinyang Liao. It is not good for us to delve too much into their secrets..."

In the middle of the team stood a middle-aged man wearing a white kimono and carrying a huge wooden box: "You guys continue to search around~lightnovelpub.net~ Don't leave the sensing range of my 'chess piece'."

"yes."

The slender chin is covered with stubble, fine wrinkles can't hide the handsome facial features, and the cigarette butts at the corners of his mouth are flickering and dark, adding a bit of unruly vicissitudes to him...

This is a middle-aged handsome man who stands with Yutaro Kotori and can immediately make his debut as a "teacher killer group".

"Hey, Si, I only promised to come here to help you steal people, but I didn't intend to take the blame for others and provoke a war between Tsuchiyamen Shinto and Yinyangliao."

He just stood in the forest with his hands folded and his sleeves folded, complaining in a loose posture, turning a blind eye to the **** scenes around him.

"Abe Buishi, the Abe family has been depressed because of a lazy and troublesome patriarch like you."

A handsome young man with double blades on his waist and a black kimono walked out of the woods with a black figure on his shoulders: "If you were not the only one who could tell the direction in this sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, I would not ask you to come with me."

It was Abeji, code-named "Tachibana Snow", who returned to Kyoto to recuperate after being seriously injured in the Exemption Level "Second" Exorcist.
