Chapter 18: Counter-Killing

Wantong Building, 14th floor, room 3.

"Hey, boss, when are we going to get rid of them. A masked black-clad imp whispered to the leader.

"What are you anxious about! Mr. Edward's request is for us to assassinate them in the early hours of the evening, but the time has not yet come!"

Then the leader looked down at the watch he had just stolen from a human on his wrist, and said, "Let them live a few more hours." ”

"Oh, brothers, aren't you in a hurry, it's better to solve it early and finish it early. Hey, don't you think so!" The masked imp asked for advice from the ghosts around him.

"Yes, yes, yes!" A few little ghosts next to him quickly nodded in agreement, there is still a lot of fun to find in the big night, why do you have to wait here for a few hours.

"Shut up! What we do is a professional job of slaying ghosts, what time is what time it is, you are so casual, what is the credibility of our team? Will people dare to spend money to hire us to do things in the future?"

I can't see that this leader is still quite decent.

"The head is right, we all listen to you. The other ghost saw that the leader was a little unhappy, and hurriedly bowed his head and flattered.

"Yes, yes, yes, listen. At this time, the few next to them were like grass on the wall, and as soon as the wind blew, they fell to the powerful side.

Just as a few people were still looking out the window.

Wow~

A few gentle knocks on the door instantly shattered the surrounding silence.

"No, sir, who's going to knock on the door at this time?" muttered the masked imp.

The leader also frowned and shouted, "Who... Who's going to be at night, don't you know I'm still sleeping?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm sent by the owner of Wantong Pavilion, and I'm here to inform you, the boss has something to discuss with you again. ”

Just as the leader was still wondering where he was, his 'shrewd' subordinate immediately ran over and opened the door, but the moment he opened the door, an oncoming ice blade silently pierced his chest, killing him on the spot.

"Hey, you guy, what are you doing there?" shouted the leader to the door, and his men looked towards the door, but the guy who opened the door still stood there motionless.

"Hey, you're... Guy..."Just as the leader was in a rage and wanted to rush over to see what was going on, his men collapsed on the ground like noodles.

"Who are you?!" When the masked imp fell, they could see who was knocking on the door.

"You're a guy!" isn't that exactly what they want to assassinate, why did he assassinate them first? "Could it be... Could it be that you and that Edward guy have colluded to kill me?"

The leader shouted excitedly, and at this time, he was dominated by doubt and fear at the same time, because the kind of coercion emanating from Tsukime was really unbearable.

Tsukime slowly opened her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm not the slightest bit interested in your dirty business!"

At this time, the ice lord's coercion accompanied by bursts of icy cold instantly filled everything in the room, and all the ornaments in the room were covered with a thin layer of frost, and in an instant, the temperature of the room dropped by 40 degrees.

Wherever the Ice Lord goes, the wind will be cold and the water will turn into ice!

With this extreme cold, the ice cubes began at a speed visible to the naked eye, starting from the soles of the feet of the few remaining assassins in the room, and quickly spread throughout the body.

"But... Damn ..." Before the leader could finish speaking, the ice was already stuffed into his throat, his nostrils, his eye sockets, and the top of his head.

"Hmph, that's boring. As soon as the ice master shook his hand, the few lumps of ice in front of him instantly turned into ice chips, and the subtlety of them did not even appear a drop of blood.

Whew, Tsukime's eyes turned from ice blue to dark red at this time.

"Can I sum up the scene in front of me with the words "no bones"... It's also sad. ”

"Why, feel pity?" the Ice Lord asked in a playful tone.

"How could it be, people who do this kind of business, shouldn't they have been ready to scatter a long time ago. ”

Tsukime patted the ice chips on the white pajamas, slowly closed the door, and turned to leave.

β€œ......”

"What's next?" asked Tsukime as she walked.

"No more. The assassins were all in the same room as before. ”

"With this amount of power, I don't think they will succeed if they really want to assassinate. ”

"Not necessarily, it's just that they're too weak for me, and it's a different story for you. ”

"Well, maybe. ”

"Let's go. Go to the 16th floor. Tsukime pressed the button of the elevator.

"Gollum. Gollum crawled out of Tsukime's pajamas, and it looked at Tsukime with some hesitation, he was no longer the Tsukime it was familiar with.

"I'm sorry, Gollum, but there's something you don't want to know. However, there is one thing you must be sure of, and that is that I will protect you. ”

Tsukime stood in front of the elevator door, lowered his head, and said firmly.

"Goolilu~Goolilu~"

"Thank you for your understanding, partner. ”

"Gollum~"

"Wow~" After the elevator door opened, he slowly walked in.

β€œ......”

16th Floor, Vantone Building, Library.

"You guy... It's really boring to the extreme, and even thinking about coming to this level of the library!!" The Ice Lord complained loudly at the Celestial Spirit Cover of the Moon.

"Hey, can you stop for a while, and still have a little bit of the majesty of the Ice Lord?"

"Well, I'm very curious about human books! I haven't read much since I returned from the underworld! The things I read in my previous life have long since been wiped out. ”

"Ahh If you don't go to a bar or a massage club for a good night, you come to such a boring place to read a book! Let me say what is good. ”

The Ice Lord was deflated as he spoke, after all, the main control of the body is still in the hands of Tsukime, and for such a trivial matter, it is not good for him to forcibly seize the temporary control of Tsukime's body to drink and massage.

In this way, Tsukime kept wandering back and forth by the bookshelf, and just as he was worrying about what books to read, a familiar figure crouching in the corner caught his attention.

Who could it be? When he poked his head to the boy next to the bookshelf, it was, as expected, it was Tsutsujin.

"Hey, you're still reading here, don't you need to rest?"

Tsutsujin, who was watching from the sidelines, was suddenly interrupted by Tsukime, and couldn't help but be startled.

He lifted his loose glasses and looked at the handsome ghost and said, "Oh, Tsukime, hahaha, you forgot, human souls don't need to rest, I'm not like you ghosts, I don't even need to do such things as cultivation! ”

For some reason, hearing this, Tsukime once again felt the boredom of being a soul. It's not that I feel sad because of this, but if I don't care, then what is the meaning of the soul's existence?

"Don't you have a red candle on the other side? You can go to your family and friends in your previous life to chat and catch up with the past!"

"Forget it, although we are the same world, we are actually people separated by yin and yang! Is it still necessary for man and soul to be connected to each other? Human memories tell me that this is unnecessary. Yin and yang are interconnected, which will only cause chaos. ”

Di Zhen stared down at the string of red candles on the other side in his hand, thoughtful.

"Well, I really haven't thought about such a profound question!"

"However, it's still worth considering. Di Zhen closed the book "SchrΓΆdinger's Cat" in his hand, slowly stood up, and said: "Yueme, I have a hunch that the future world will inevitably be in chaos, among them, there is the problem of our soul, and there is also the problem of your ghosts. ”

His eyes are filled with flames at this point, and you are assured that this will all happen as he had a hunch.

"Well, I believe what you say. Tsukime replied, not that he was perfunctory, but that he really believed what Tsutsumi said.

"Thank you!" Tsutsumi bowed his head. said: "Then I'll go back to the room first, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Well, goodbye. ”

Yuemu waved his hand, and when he watched Tsutsumi take the elevator and leave, the ice lord suddenly said to Yuemu: "This little guy's intuition is quite keen, to be honest, I have recently felt that some kind of unknown changes are slowly taking place in this world, not to mention that the human world is beginning to become chaotic, all kinds of bizarre events occur one after another, and small fights between the ghost clan and the demon clan are often heard, and some people in the human race have gradually become able to see the existence of ghosts and souls, and there are some ancient, Strange races have also begun to become active in recent years, such as the bone king mentioned by Skeletron before, it is neither a ghost nor a demon, it is one of them. ”

"What about you?" Tsukime asked suddenly.

"Me?"

"Yes, I feel that your existence is neither like a ghost, nor like a yin spirit. ”

"Hmm... Indeed, it's not wrong to say I'm a ghost, it's okay to say I'm not a ghost, anyway... It must be an existence sandwiched between ghosts, yin spirits, and nature. ”

β€œ...... It feels like not saying anything. Yuemu covered her head and said speechlessly.

"Haha, don't worry about these details. Shall we go to the bar?"

"Wait, I haven't read yet!"

"Oh, aren't you leaving......?"

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, and I'll have to go back and see how my friends are after reading the book. ”

β€œ......”

The Ice Lord thought that his wish was going to be ruined tonight, but just as he was about to compromise, an idea was stirring in his heart again.

"Hey, Tsukime. ”

"Huh?"

"We forgot one more thing~"

"What's the matter. ”

"We haven't given the owner of this hotel and the two guys at the grocery store a little warning!"

"Isn't the death of that team tonight a warning?"

"That's just a little bit of violent feedback, and you have to give them a verbal warning, what do you say?"

Yuemu closed the book, thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's okay, let's take advantage of tonight to solve all the problems, and there will be trouble in the future." ”

"Okay~ Hehe, I can finally get out of this boring place. ”
