Outside the window, the sound of rain was incessant, and the water droplets smashed into white foam on the glass, leaving a circle of silver-white ripples on the window.

Gu Fangyan obediently sat beside the young man, his heart beating fast.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Ling Chenxuan, I just arrived in this city the day before yesterday, and the purpose of coming here is to find an antiquity. The young man sat up straight, which made Gu Fangyan straighten his waist.

"Antiquities, are you here for archaeology?" But after listening to his self-introduction, Gu Fangyan was confused, so he is actually not a killer? He is actually just an archaeology enthusiast with a small shovel and an ancient map, and taking out a knife to kill something is just halfway, right?

What could be more......

"Upon inspection, there was indeed something I was looking for in this area, but I didn't expect to meet the Lost here, and I didn't expect you to show up at that time. Ling Chenxuan glanced at his right hand, Gu Fangyan also looked over curiously, he noticed that Ling Chenxuan also had a mythril ring on his right hand, that ring looked quite simple, and even some extremely small cracks could be faintly seen, and the ring was also engraved with a black gem, but it was not pure black, and the depth of the gem was illuminated by white light to create a magnificent deep purple, which reminded him of the black spar deep underground.

"That's what you detected by that thing?" Gu Fangyan pointed to the ring on his hand.

Ling Chenxuan was silent for a few seconds, "To be precise, I did hear the crisp sound of the ring, and the principle is like ...... Yin and Yang mutual induction. ”

Gu Fangyan had a little headache, he was not interested in things like that kind of secret spell at all, it was a little more reliable to say that the test was at least following the power of science. But Ling Chenxuan said "perception", and instantly became infected with a strong superstitious atmosphere, he would not believe in any psychic responses, it was just the usual trick of some charlatans, and it was possible to deceive the elderly.

But the word perception seems to be slightly linked to this killer, and judging from the battle he saw not long ago, there are indeed some magical abilities in this world that he doesn't know.

The silver afterimage of the blade cutting through the rain and the beastly roar came to mind, and the long knife slashed at the young man's body, but black smoke poured out.

The young man couldn't have been a normal human, and he hadn't suffered from some rare disease, at least he hadn't heard of a disease that could make people disappear. But the young man did disappear, to be precise, dead, but the appearance of death was so weird, like the stone statue in the documentary that had been corroded and turned into historical dust after thousands of years of erosion.

But if you replace the stone statue with a human, the documentary becomes a horror movie.

So isn't that person a monster...... Gu Fangyan covered his face, he was still quite difficult to accept, and his worldview was gradually shaking.

Wait!Gu Fangyan raised his head suddenly, Ling Chenxuan just said that he had heard a crisp chirp? He suddenly felt that something was wrong, because he remembered that the moment he passed by Ling Chenxuan, he seemed to have heard a similar sound!

Is this perception? But why do you hear it?

"What the hell is that ring for?" Gu Fangyan frowned so much that his eyebrows were about to be unscrewed.

A rare trace of hesitation flashed in Ling Chenxuan's eyes, "I can't tell you this for the time being, I can only say that it is used to sense a certain energy nearby." ”

Thinking of it, he had no reason to tell himself this, Gu Fangyan's body drooped, about all this, he was still an outsider in the end.

And he had a hunch that it was best to get as far away as possible from these strange things, which seemed to him too mysterious, too dangerous, like a raging and treacherous whirlpool, and if he got closer, he would be drawn into them.

"That guy...... Is he really dead?"

Ling Chenxuan's eyes welled up with coldness, and his tone gradually became cold, "He is not a human, but a lost person. As he spoke, he sighed again, "It's like a curse that can't be shaken off, but whenever we encounter a ghost lost in the world, we must wipe it out as quickly as possible, this is our fate, and it is also their fate." ”

"So that young man, he's actually a lost man? a lost man...... Ghosts?" Gu Fangyan said this strange and jerky word with great difficulty, the sky is bright, and you can actually meet ghosts on the street?

"But he didn't harm humans, to be honest, I thought he was quite pitiful before......" Gu Fangyan muttered quietly. It's really pitiful, the ghost should have given up everything at the last moment, but even that would be pointless resistance in the eyes of the killer. At that moment, he was mad like an unconscious beast, roaring and dancing, angry and hideous.

But Ling Chenxuan's face did not change in the slightest, as if it was expected, and then continued to carry out the task of erasing. His eyes were cold from beginning to end, his movements were unswerving, his attack was as fierce as the wind, as if everything had been calculated, and the killer only had to watch his wounded prey struggle in rage, slowly draining his own blood.

Fighting against such an unusually cruel and absolutely calm opponent is desperate, like a male lion desperately defending his dignity as a beast, desperately roaring at the humans who attack it, while the humans on the side just look coldly and quietly hold the shotgun in his hand.

The young man is a desperate trapped beast, facing the hunter with a gun, no matter how desperately he resists, all that awaits him is doomed death.

So when Ling Chenxuan pierced his heart with a long knife, he couldn't help but smile, that smile was very bitter, with both a crazy mockery of the exorcist and an unwillingness and helplessness to the ruthless fate.

But as soon as the words came out, Gu Fangyan regretted it a little, fortunately Ling Chenxuan was not angry, he just silently stared at the pitch-black TV screen in front of him, as if he was thinking about some heavy past.

"You're right, he's really pitiful, because he can't change his end. I can only kill him because ......"

Ling Chenxuan rubbed his hands gently.

Because he is an exorcist, because he is burdened with an irreversible mission, it is more like a bondage, and that kind of bondage lasts for thousands of years, so that he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

For thousands of years, exorcists around the world have fulfilled their mission to wipe out all the ghosts lost in the world, a mission that has not yet been completed and will continue into the future, and no one knows when this almost endless battle will end.

In order to end the thousand-year-long confrontation between exorcists and demons as soon as possible, exorcists from all over the world gradually united to form an exceptionally powerful demon slaying organization, and they developed strict discipline. In order to maintain the traditions left by their ancestors, no exorcist can cooperate in a mission together, and the so-called organization only uses invisible silk threads to connect the exorcists of the world invisibly, and fundamentally they are still lonely after all, like ghosts in the night, who can only wander in the darkest corners of the world.

Sometimes, exorcists and demons are just as pathetic, and in the face of an invincible fate, everyone lives like marionettes.

So what has accompanied them over the years is only a sharp blade that is enough to cut off all the evil in the world, and the innate loneliness. Like the Japanese samurai wandering in the wilderness, weapons are their second life.

…………

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Gu Fangyan cursed his mouth in his heart, and quickly opened the topic with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything, and if you're serious, you'll lose." You must be hungry, I'll go get you something to eat in the fridge. After saying that, he got up and rushed to the kitchen, leaving Ling Chenxuan sitting silently on the sofa alone.

In fact, Gu Fangyan was too worried at all, after so many years of traveling, he had already armed his heart impeccable.

Ling Chenxuan listened to the sound of the rain outside, cold and noisy, just like this world.
