474 Tom Ritian Demon King Said
Behind the unknown world, there exists a group of rampant cannibals, who are the Red Apostles, residents of another dimension from a neighboring world that is inaccessible from the present world.
They manifest themselves by eating the power of human existence, causing all kinds of incredible phenomena at will, and the reason for all this is just their selfish desires.
The power of these apostles is something that human beings in this world cannot resist. However, it is among these apostles that there are compatriots who have noticed something abnormal. They realized that the defects caused by eating human beings would distort the world, and they also realized that the continuous accumulation of distortions would bring huge disasters to both the current world and the red world.
Therefore, these apostles, the Red World Demon Kings, decided to crusade against those compatriots who invaded the present world and gnawed on human beings.
However, because the Red World Demon King is an extremely powerful existence, if they want to appear in the world, they must obtain a large amount of existence power. If they eat human beings, it will defeat the purpose. So, after countless attempts, they selected some human beings from this world who had been robbed of their relatives, lovers, and friends, and asked them to dedicate their entire existence as a vessel to accommodate the Red World Demon King.
As a result, the demon kings can gain the ability to conquer their compatriots without revealing themselves, and humans also have weapons of revenge. The conquerors born under this form of contract are called Fire Mist Warriors.
The main theme of "Shakugan no Shana" is the confrontation between the Fire Mist Warrior and the Red World Apostle.
"...Anyway, that's the basic situation."
Tang Hao spent nearly half an hour explaining to Yuzu and Mikoto what happened and the world's view of the world. After speaking, he stood up and stretched his muscles.

With a knock on the door, a pretty young woman walked in with tea in her hand. Then she walked up to the three of them, put the tea on the coffee table, and said with a soft smile: "Uncle, I'll prepare it for you." Black tea."
After talking for so long, Tang Hao happened to be a little thirsty, but he took a sip and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Is there anything else you need me to do?"
"No, sister-in-law, just go and do your own business. Don't worry about us."
"Okay, then you can chat slowly and call me anytime if you need anything." The young woman smiled kindly and closed the door while leaving.
Mikoto blinked and said with some surprise: "I really didn't notice it at all."
"It's magic after all." Tang Hao smiled.
After Xia Na left before, Tang Hao did not choose to follow anyone. After all, there was no clear mission this time. Compared with what to do, the first thing to do is to understand what can be done. And neither Shana nor Yuji Sakai are candidates that can be directly involved, especially the former... just following her because she is the heroine may arouse her suspicion and hostility.
Anyway, according to the story of "Sakugan no Shana", most of the events in the first and middle stages happened in Misaki City. As long as they don't go out of their way to make some huge changes, such as...killing Yuji Sakai, then, as long as they stay in Misaki City There is always a chance.
Therefore, the three of them found a house in Misaki City and stayed temporarily.
The owners of this house are a young couple whose family is relatively wealthy. The husband is on a business trip and will not be back for more than half a month. Only the young wife and a five-year-old child are left at home.
In fz's story, after Weber arrived in Fuyuki, he stayed at the home of an old couple and became the grandson of that family. This was because he affected the cognition of the old couple through magic, so that something happened out of thin air. He is such a grandson.
As a top modern magician, it was impossible for Yuzhu to be able to learn magic that even a half-assed magician like Weber could do. So he followed the same method, and the family had a younger brother and two younger sisters.
Speaking of which, this kind of magic is really convenient. Although it does not work for magicians or people with supernatural powers, it is accurate for ordinary people. If it is used to do bad things...for example , in the perception affected by magic, Tang Hao is not the younger brother of the male owner of the family, but the male owner himself, then... it is simply an NTR artifact!
However, although the values of magicians are very understandable and can even be said to be twisted, most magicians do not have such dirty thoughts as Tang Hao. Youzhu does this just for convenience.
She didn't know that the evil thoughts were lingering in Tang Hao's mind at the moment. She carefully analyzed the information in front of her, then raised her head, "According to you, people who are swallowed by the power of existence will disappear directly from the world. , people around them won’t realize their existence, so why can I still remember them?”
Tang Hao immediately came to his senses. In the previous seal, there were three torches as human substitutes. Because Shana wanted to repair the site, they were consumed. Logically speaking, the concepts of these three people would be directly derived from people's recognition. No one can detect the disappearance of knowledge, but through careful observation, Youzhu realizes that they once existed.
"Maybe it's because we are not from this world."
Tang Hao thought for a while and explained.
"Our understanding of this world comes from the outside. We who have not yet fully integrated into this world are like players in a game, and the local people are NPCs. If we compare the people who have been devoured by existence to deletion NPC, other NPCs won’t notice it, but players are different.”
"This metaphor is a bit different..." Youzhu frowned, "I don't quite understand it, but I seem to understand it."
"Wait a minute." Mikoto's eyes lit up, "If humans in this world are NPCs and we are players, then wouldn't the Red World disciples and Fire Mist Warriors be related to viruses and anti-virus software?"
"It should be understandable...you are quite good at drawing inferences from one instance to another."
"What's the use of drawing inferences?" Regarding Tang Hao's praise, Miqin was not happy at all, but was a little discouraged. "We players don't have anti-virus functions. Except that you can use the second soul to be immune to Fengjue, the two of us There is no way at all. If the battles in this world are all fought within Fengjue, wouldn’t our existence be meaningless?”
Hearing this, Youzhu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Although her magic can be used in this world, she is not immune to sealing, which is equivalent to losing the premise of fighting. No matter how strong her power is, as long as the enemy uses sealing, she and Misaka Mikoto can only do whatever they want. If this problem cannot be solved, the two of them will be of no use. It is better to return now and leave Tang Hao to do it alone, at least there is no need to worry about holding him back.
"No, that's not the case." Tang Hao shook his head and smiled, "First of all, we must understand what Feng Jue is."
"What is it?"
"It is a kind of ability. It is called free law in this world. Although it can affect the world and interfere at a relatively high level, in the final analysis, it is not essentially different from magic superpowers. They all need to be sufficient. It starts with energy, and this energy is the power of existence... In other words, as long as you find the right method and have enough power of existence, even a miscellaneous fish like Phosphorus can open the seal, but if you don't have the power of existence, , no matter how powerful the fire mist is, Feng Jue cannot be used in battle."
"So, the key to Feng Jue is the power of existence?" Youzhu's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the appearance of the Red World Apostle requires the power of existence, the casting of the Free Law requires the power of existence, making the torch requires the power of existence, fighting requires the power of existence, and even repairing the environment requires the power of existence, it is like Sunlight, like water, air, fire, and water, is an indispensable energy source for human survival."
Mikoto frowned, "Is there something strange in the energy source for human survival?"
"Don't worry about the small details. In short, this is what I mean: as long as we can master the use of the power of existence, we will be immune to the seal. With our own combat power, we are enough to fight against the Red World Apostle."
"Then the question is, how do we master the use of the power of existence?"
"Well..." Tang Hao suddenly smiled mysteriously, and then took out his right hand. As his fist slowly opened, a ray of blue flame continued to flutter in his palm.
"What is this?" The two looked at each other intently.
"This is the power of existence, and it's not just an ordinary power of existence." Tang Hao said proudly.
"how?"
"It is Yuji Sakai's power of existence."
"Is there anything special about that?"
"What's special... Although I don't know yet, Yuji Sakai is the protagonist. In other words, this is the power of existence that enchants the protagonist's aura. It must be much more advanced than ordinary power of existence, with SSR golden quality..."
"But it's blue."
"Oh, why do you have so many problems?" Tang Hao couldn't bear to listen anymore. He pinched the blue fire in his palm into two parts and handed them to Mikoto and Yuzhu respectively. "I knew I would face this situation a long time ago. That’s why I specially help you obtain this power of existence from Yuji Sakai’s body, and study it carefully.”
"..." Mikoto and Kuon looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Although they all understand the truth, but...how should we study this?
"Will this fire burn?"
"It should be possible. After all, Sakai Yuji is just a torch. The stripped power of existence will probably not be around for a long time without the Zero Hour Mystery. So you must find a way to master the use of the power of existence before it burns out."
"You are too pushy!" Mikoto was at a loss for a moment. "I don't even understand the specific concept of the power of existence. How do I know how to master it?"
"Aren't you a superpower? You have an IQ of over 200, and you still don't understand this?" Tang Hao asked back.
"Superpowers are only good at computing power. What does it have to do with IQ? Accelerator has the strongest computing power in Academy City, even surpassing computers. Do you think his IQ can be compared with that of a famous detective like Sherlock Holmes? ?" Mikoto rolled her eyes at him, and then added, "...although my IQ is indeed not low."
"As expected of a fan of detective comics, Sherlock Holmes was used to bully Accelerator's IQ at the beginning. But you are right. Jin Shining is known as omniscient and omnipotent, but his IQ is not necessarily high. It shows that strength and IQ are not necessarily the same. Directly proportional..." Either Tang Hao is not black, or he is black.
"Of course, you don't need to be too anxious. During this period, I will find a way to intervene in the main plot. As long as I can deceive Xia... and establish a good relationship with Xia Na, I can... uh, Is your name Astolfo?" Tang Hao showed a puzzled expression halfway through speaking.
"It's Alastor! Alastor, the calamity fire of heaven and earth! You stupid brother!"
Kaguya's condemnation suddenly sounded in his ears, and Tang Hao suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, Alastor, he is a very awesome Red World Demon King, maybe it will be a good shortcut."
"Uncle, dinner is ready. You can come out and eat."
Through the door, the voice of the hostess came from outside.
"Okay, I'll be here soon." Tang Hao responded, then looked at Youzhu, "By the way, you are also the younger sisters of this family, why does she only call me and not you?"
"Yeah, it seems that we are just passing by." Mikoto also discovered this problem.
"Because I'm not good at sociability." Youzhu pondered the blue fire in his hand and said calmly, "When using cognitive magic, it only improves your sense of existence. Therefore, in her cognition, we are that A child with no sense of existence...eh?"
Suddenly, Youzhu's eyes lit up, "The sense of existence...the power of existence...I think I have something to do."
"What? Tell me about it!" Mikoto immediately approached.
Afterwards, the two started talking among themselves.
Tang Hao looked at it and found that he couldn't get into the topic, so he stood up and walked out, "Okay, then I'm going to have dinner, and exchange feelings with my sister-in-law by the way, so as not to arouse her suspicion."
"Tang Ritian, it's still live broadcast!" Kaguya's voice reminded.
"What's wrong with the live broadcast? I didn't do anything ulterior..."
…
On the same night, under the same night sky, Tang Hao and his sister-in-law were eating and exchanging feelings with each other, while Shana stood on a rooftop, looking at the dimly lit city below, vaguely seeming to be searching for something.
"It seems that the disciples who drove Phosphorus are still in this city."
"According to what that Phosphorus said, it seems to be a very big existence that is not afraid of us, and there is another reason..."
"Mystis just now."
"Um."
"In that case, if we want to find that disciple, all we need to do is keep an eye on Mystis."
"Yes, but...compared to Mystis, I care more about the substitute messenger."
"That rascal?"
"Well, I don't know if it was an illusion, but when I came into contact with him, I seemed to feel an aura similar to mine for a moment."
"A breath similar to yours?" The girl was stunned and blurted out, "Could he be the Red World Demon King?"
