Chapter Forty-Six: The Killing Stone

"Well, it looks like we're in luck. Zhao Mian stopped outside Huangquan's hospital room and said. But without waiting for the Jinguji and Nikaido behind him to understand what he meant by these words, he pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

There were only three girls in the room, and the girl who was originally standing at the window looking into the distance naturally ran to his side after seeing Zhao Mian appear, which was naturally Zhidai. Among the remaining two girls, there were still teardrops in the corners of their eyes, but Kagura was asleep on the hospital bed with a relieved face, and the last one who was sitting at the head of the bed and was stroking Kagura's hair with one hand was undoubtedly Huang Quan, who had just woken up from a coma.

Hearing the sound of someone pushing open the door of her room, Huang Quan turned her head, and after seeing that the person who walked in was Zhao Mian, she smiled a little at Zhao Mian - this smile was very reluctant. Her face was still pale, although the Holy Light had healed her physical injuries, what had been lost was still lost, and a large amount of blood had taken away the power that had supported her body's normal movements, and her every action now was very physically demanding.

"Thank you so much for your help, coach. Huang Quan spoke, her voice revealing the weakness of her body, and the sound that was too slight was even like a breeze, just stirring her own hair.

"I can save the words of thanks for later, not to mention whether I deserve your gratitude will have to wait a while to determine. Zhao Mian looked at Huang Quan, who was lying on the bed, gently using his weak fingers to pluck Kagura's hair, and then whispered - the sound was just enough for everyone in the room to hear, but not so loud that it would disturb the sleeping girl, "And I think you already know the purpose of our coming, right?"

"Hmm. Huang Quan nodded, and then she stared at Kagura, who was sleeping in front of her, and said the next words—the voice was so subtle that it seemed illusory: "I killed Sister Hades." ”

"Sure enough. Zhao Mian nodded, "But it's more appropriate for you to cut off her head than to kill her?"

"Is there any difference between these two?" Huang Quan raised his head and looked at Zhao Mian with a frown.

"Isayama has been dead for a few days, but some force has forcibly pressed her wound back and kept her active for a few days in a state of excessive blood loss, until you cut off her head. "So, in fact, what you're killing isn't a human, it's closer to something like a zombie or an evil spirit - congratulations, the suspicion of murder can be ruled out." ”

"Really?" sighed, the news announced by Zhao Mian did not bring any joy to Huang Quan, and he didn't even open his frowning brows - rather, although he had a sense of relief, the hatred in his heart was not expressed.

"Of course, but that's not what I came here today to ask about. Zhao Mian reached into his space bag and took out the butterfly wings, "I found this thing next to Isayama's corpse - a butterfly hiding in the morgue. This is a very perverse thing, because no creature with an instinct would go near a morgue that is kept cold, and there is still a lot of power attached to it, although there is not much left, but it is undisguised. He took two steps forward, then placed the butterfly wing on Huang Quan's lap and stepped back, "There are other people or organizations watching Isayama, so it may have something to do with your injury this time - so, can you remember anything?"

"Remember?" Huang Quan's cheeks twitched—perhaps because his muscles instinctively wanted to clench his teeth, but his body didn't have enough strength to support the movement. Little by little, the hand she didn't put on Kagura's head moved off the sheet and took the butterfly wing in the palm of her hand - and then hatred and anger distorted her otherwise beautiful face, but it also gave her a power that would not have been possible in this physical state. She held the butterfly wing tightly, and even her own fingernails cut through the palm of her hand, and the fragile butterfly wing quickly became countless debris under this force, and then mixed with mottled blood dripping onto the white sheets of the hospital, she roared loudly, regardless of her body trembling weakly in this weak state, "I haven't forgotten at all, that damn guy, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!" When the words fell, the girl who was still roaring just now was constantly wheezing, but even wheezing, it seemed too much for her at this time.

The room was completely silent in the room of "Sister Huang Quan's ......", and the only sound was Huang Quan's constant wheezing sound—the gasp that sounded like it would be completely cut off at some point. However, although neither Zhao Mian nor Zhidai, nor the two ladies who had been in a state of obstruction at the door did not speak, the girl who woke up in the roar that was not deliberately suppressed just now stood up at a loss, and after looking left and right for a while, she began to help Huang Quan start to sort out her breath little by little.

"Well, it seems that the context of the incident is becoming clear little by little. After a long silence, watching the girl calm her breathing little by little with the help of Kagura, and then drank a little bit of water with the help of the other party, Zhao Mian opened his mouth to interrupt the silence that filled the room. He nodded slightly, then continued, "Can you tell us what you know?"

"Of course. Huang Quan took a deep breath and then spoke.

What kind of story is that? Maybe it's just a tragedy of jealousy and anger. Huang Quan is the adopted daughter of the Isayama family, which is actually not a secret, and even Zhao Mian understands it clearly. However, in the Isayama family, the status of the adopted daughter is actually not so favorable, and this problem is further stimulated when Huang Quan's adoptive father decides to pass on his position as the head of the family and the Lion King to Huang Quan—there are always some people in any aristocratic family who try to seize power, and this time is no exception. If Huang Quan inherits all this, then he will violate the established interests of some - at least what they think are established interests. But Isayama's adoptive father, Isayama Naraku, was not a kind old man in the twilight of the West Mountain, and his prestige in the family was enough to ensure that Huang Quan was on top - but there were always exceptions, and there was such a person, such and such a thing happened, and then things went off course.

That person is called Santuhe Kazuhiro, that thing is called Isayama Death in Battle, and that thing is called the Killing Stone.

――A demonic power crystallization that seals the soul of the demon fox Nine-Tails, who was defeated by the Onmyoji thousands of years ago. After being buried in the human body, you can get unlimited demonic power, but there will be the side effect of the erosion of the soul, the destruction of the self and the body, and the evil spirit.

This is a friendly explanation from Miss Jinguji, and according to Huang Quan's account, Mitsukawa and Hiroshi implanted such a thing in Isayama's body, and then this thing caused Isayama to kill Huang Quan's adoptive father, and take the Lion King under the amplification of negative emotions in his heart, and even fight Huang Quan in the wild - until the killing stone betrayed her.

"Just accepting that killing the stone is a capital crime, not to mention killing Isayama Naraku. Jinguji sighed softly, and then shook his head - after telling such a long story, the physically and mentally exhausted Huang Quan had fallen into a deep sleep under Kagura's care, and the other people who had nothing to do with Ji Qing naturally walked out of the room, "But even if this explanation is accepted by the people present, I'm afraid those family members won't accept it, right?"

"Whether they accept it or not is secondary. Zhao Mian frowned and took over the topic, "I'm afraid that Santuhe and Hong are the big problems now." Since that guy can implant the Killing Stone into other people's bodies at will, and he also carries an unusually large Killing Stone, once he hides behind the scenes and keeps causing trouble for us through the Killing Stone, then I'm afraid it will lead to a lot of problems. ”

"But even then, we don't have a good way to find him. Jinguji sighed slightly.

"Not necessarily. Zhao Mian shook his head and vetoed the other party's statement, "Since there is such a thing as a killing stone, then it is impossible not to formulate countermeasures, you guys over there try to contact some ancient families and other guys, and see if they have something to detect the location of the killing stone - as long as you can find him, then leave everything to me." ”

"I'll try as much as I can. Jinguji said.
