In the bright light of the church, there stood a monster that did not fit in with the church, this monster was covered in hard bone armor all over its body, only the head was still exposed, but its face was pale and its eye sockets were deep.

The monster opened his mouth and screamed, and he could see his teeth sticking out, turning into the fangs that the weird creatures used in horror movies to tear their prey apart.

No one would have thought that such a terrible monster was once a priest.

At this time, Ling did not hesitate, picked up the long sword and stabbed the priest in the eye socket, directly penetrated the past, and then swung it diagonally downward, leaving a wound.

The wound was not shallow, but no blood flowed, and the priest was as if he were unharmed, not even in his howl.

Even though he was mortally wounded by ordinary people, the priest was not affected in the slightest, and he slammed into Ling with his fist wrapped in bone, very heavy but not slow.

"Tsk, it's completely hopeless. Ling easily dodged the punch and sighed, "Permanently, the job of our theater is to clean up these things. ”

"Hmm......" Yong nodded and didn't say much, he looked at the priest's hard bone armor, thought for a moment, put down the gun in his hand, and took out the flute sword that the master had given him from his sleeve.

The flute sword in his hand turned from emerald green to gray, and finally turned completely black, but it was not like the black that was soaked in ink, but like animal hair, it was full of pitch black.

It's like holding an animal.

Seeing that his fist couldn't hit Ryo, the priest didn't try again, took a little step back, and began to chant, intending to continue using the spell.

In his sight, there is only one enemy, the girl in front of him. Other than that, he doesn't care about anything.

As the priest chanted, a terrifying voice was heard permanently, and an inexplicable fear came to his heart, and at that moment, the bone armor near the priest's stomach cracked open like a mouth, and in the midst of it, a scream was heard.

While.

Permanent brain pain, as if someone had hit his brain with a hammer, and then he had severe pain in his lungs, covered his mouth and coughed, and found that his palms had been stained red.

Ling was shocked by the sound and leaned back, but in an instant he came to his senses and stabbed his sword into the priest's bone armor.

"How can this be? I've sacrificed so much, why can't I get enough strength?"

The priest's voice came from the bone armor, full of unwillingness, but he was now at the end of his crossbow, so he could only wave his hand and want to punch Ling again.

"Do you really think that if you sacrifice yourself, the evil gods will give you power? ”

As she spoke, Ling effortlessly dodged the priest's punch, and then she approached the priest, the sword in her hand slowly lit up with a cyan light, and her arm flicked suddenly.

Table tennis!

It was obviously a slender sword, but it seemed to have thousands of strengths, but it was extremely fast, and it instantly slashed at the bone armor beside the priest, and the bone armor cracked in response.

"Forever!" Ling shouted at Forever.

Yong's eyes were dim at this time, but he could feel that after hearing the loud sound, he could clearly "see" that there was a ribbon-like thing in front of him, and he was shouted by Ling, and subconsciously waved the flute sword in his hand, using the sword style that his master had taught him.

"Poetry of Treading the Wind" - swallowtail.

This is a sword technique that has been practiced repeatedly when he was a young man.

He relied on his instinct to slash along the ribbon with the flute sword, the sword light was as clear as the sky, and the sword qi was like a swallow soaring in the sword light.

Eventually, he was able to see everything around him, and the bone armor in the center of the church was shattered, but there was no flesh in the bone fragments, as if the priest had disappeared into thin air.

"What about the priest?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that the priest is dead, or perhaps, the evil god knows that he is certain to die, and even the last bit of his flesh and blood will be devoured. Ling sighed.

Only then did he put his mind at ease, and the hand holding the flute sword slowly drooped, but his eyes were a little painful from the light of the sword, and he could only keep his eyes open.

It's unbelievable that I've used this sword style permanently countless times before I came into contact with weirdness, and now I've seen such a scene.

"Let's go, we can continue to set off, and leave the rest to the logistics troops. Ling was not surprised, and directly put away all the weapons he took out, staring at the permanent who was still stunned:

"Look, isn't that just what you want to do? Congratulations, you learned to kill people before you even started your first job.

"It was a rare experience. ”

Yes, even if you kill a monster that is no longer human, it is a person after all.

After a permanent nausea, his body realized what had happened, and then bent down sharply and vomited, because it was long before they had eaten dinner, and he quickly vomited his stomach.

The feeling of nausea has not stopped, I want to vomit but can't vomit, it is extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, a slender hand reached over and appeared in front of him with a few pieces of paper, and he looked back to find that Ling had come to his side.

"Our job is to clean up this garbage, you just need to know that you're doing it for the people. Ling whispered in a reassuring tone.

There seemed to be a magical power in her words, and she felt much better permanently.

"Thank you. He took the paper permanently, carefully wiped the stains from his mouth, supported his knees with his hands, and stood up.

Ling smiled and nodded: "When you get used to it later, you'll be fine." ”

Can you get used to it, can get used to this kind of thing, from another point of view, it's also a terrible thing.

After saying that, Ling walked alone to the room where the priest had entered, and when she came back, she said that it was the stairs leading to the basement, and Zheng Tong wanted to go down to find her parents, but Ling didn't let Zheng Tong go down.

After that, the three returned to the car and waited for the studio's support staff.

"You guys just go to sleep, I'm not very sleepy. Lingmo leaned on the steering wheel.

"Good. Yongheng and Zheng Tong replied in unison, Zheng Tong lay on the back seat and fell asleep directly, obviously she was very tired.

After drinking a little water, he sat in the passenger seat and fell asleep unconsciously.

In his dream, the familiar voice sounded again, and seemed to be heard more clearly than before, but it was fleeting before it could fully react.

......

When he woke up permanently, he felt a jolt as Ling was driving the car on a speed bump, and he was awakened by the shaking.

"Yo, are you awake?" Ling's voice rang in his ears.

Even though I hadn't opened my eyes yet, Ling knew that I was awake, and she was too sharp, right?

Yongheng thought to himself, and then said hello: "Morning." ”

Then he turned his head to look at the back seat, and found that Zheng Tong was no longer there at this time, and asked suspiciously:

"Where's Zheng Tong, where did she go?"

Ling laughed and said:

"She's been picked up by the staff at the theater, and I'm already annoyed with a newbie, do I want to bring another one?"

"Sounds like you're a little upset?" asked Permanently, feeling that Ling seemed to be in a bad mood, trying to ask.

"There's a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to listen to? Forget it, I'm not in the mood to let you guess, the good news is that this time it's an emergency, so there is a good bonus to get, but, because there are only two survivors, the performance evaluation is quite low, you are a newcomer, I won't record these for the time being, because it's not your first mission yet, and I, this low rating will stay on my file." Ryoshi speaks with a feeling of gnashing her teeth.

Speaking of which, before I fell asleep, Ling seemed to have said that the first job hadn't started yet, so was that the case?

Permanent Doubts and Frowning:

"So what exactly was my first job?"

"I'll explain it to you when I get to my destination. Hearing the permanent question, Ling answered very perfunctorily, then thought about it, and reluctantly began to explain:

"I'll tell you what you need to know first.

"Permanent, do you know what 'weird' is?"

Didn't you tell me? Just as Yong wanted to answer, Ling took care of himself and began to answer.

"The so-called weirdness is through a strange energy, with the help of a certain rule of this world, any phenomenon that may occur in this world, such as various myths, legends, and even people's delusions, or magic that should not exist, these can be called weird. ”

Speaking of this, Ling unconsciously stopped, with a little emotion in her eyes, if she couldn't drive and turn corners accurately, she would always think that she had fallen into deep thought.

After a while, Ling smiled and began to add:

"What about this 'strange energy', it is our driving force, it doesn't matter what you call it, such as magic, fighting spirit, etc., anyway, it is the energy that fills this world, of course, some means can replace this strange energy with your life, but it is basically a fight to the death, there is always someone who wants to die. ”

After hearing Ling tell the story forever, he only felt absurd, although he didn't believe in this kind of thing, but he remembered the sword that slashed at the priest, and he didn't know if it was borrowed from the energy of this world.

Thinking of this, I permanently unconsciously asked my own question:

"Speaking of which, did the sword I swing borrow the energy of this world?"

The ribbon like a special effect in a movie, and the mysterious feeling when he swung his sword, made him have an answer in his heart while asking questions.

Ling stepped on the brakes, and after the car stopped, he asked without answering:

"Did you ever feel this way before you'd been exposed to weirdness?"

The answer was self-evident, and he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and the feeling when he vaguely guessed it was completely different from the feeling of being pointed out by someone, and he completely believed it.

"We human beings are too small, and we want to fight against those strange creatures, and gradually find ways to make ourselves stronger, that is, to learn various means that can cause the magical phenomena of this world, as well as similar to the kind written in the novels of Xiuxian, to store energy in the body and master different abilities. ”

Ling didn't explain much, just said briefly:

"It's like the cyan light on my body, which is the most common means - to strengthen myself with energy. ”

Without waiting for a permanent question, she pulled over to the side of the road and seemed to have reached her destination.

"Get out of the car. Ling looked out the window, "The next part of the road, I have to go on my own." ”

The car seems to be parked on the side of a path into the mountains, and getting out of the door and standing on the side of the path can only make people tired, watching the long ramp stretch out of sight.

By the way, one more thing.

"Anyway, Ling you seem to know a lot about the abyss, do the staff of the theater know a lot about God?"

Although this is something that he noticed later, when Chu Ling saw the statue in the church, he directly pronounced the name of God, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, isn't that an evil god?

"The abyss? Of course I know that. After all, I'm a believer in the Abyss. Ling accentuated the pronunciation of the word "believer".
