Book 1 Volume 1 Desert Ghost Town Chapter 3 Interlude
Four days later, in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, in a fairly ordinary community.
"Huhu, the daily homework is finally finished, what kind of happy summer vacation is this..."Pushing away a pile of thick books on the desk, Su Jiuxia couldn't help but let out a long breath, he rubbed his temples, which were already a little swollen, and habitually pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose that were not too heavy.
There was no response to his voice, there was still silence around him, due to work, Jiuxia's parents were out of town all the year round, and they rarely went home, so he was also a left-behind child.
Su Jiuxia, a height of 1.75 meters, in the middle and lower reaches of school grades, his family background is also average, although his appearance is a little delicate, but he still belongs to the kind of public appearance that will be drowned in the vast sea of people if he is thrown on the street, ordinary and ordinary, unfazed, Jiuxia seems to have been numb to his life, and the entire space in the room seems to be accompanied by only the table lamp in front of him and the starlight outside the window that is not bright for Jiuxia, and the atmosphere is a little depressing.
"It's really boring on days like this. He lay on the desk decadently, but his face turned to the night sky outside the window in a daze, "It would be great if I could travel through, I really can't encounter any supernatural events, even if I die, let me see the truly wonderful world." ”
Ordinary repression, it is easy for people to blur themselves in it, and even produce a lot of bizarre ideas.
But think about it, not to mention time travel and supernatural events, I haven't encountered a single thrilling thing in my life, and I am often bullied at school.
"I, in this life, can I only do this?" looked up and swept over the many cross-fantasy supernatural novels on the shelf, which belonged to other people's love, hatred, hatred and a thousand turns of calamity, although he was once deeply trapped in it, but as time went by, in the end, there was no doubt that he was pushed back to reality, thinking of this, Su Jiuxia couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Nonsense, otherwise what else can you do." ”
"It's good to go out and take a walk. "It's only July 3rd today, not long after the start of the summer vacation, his parents have just called for living expenses, Jiuxia took his wallet and walked out of the place that made him feel depressed as if he was running away.
However, Su Jiuxia regretted it as soon as he arrived at the bottom of the building, "I don't seem to have anywhere to go." ”
As an otaku, he doesn't like to exercise, and he doesn't have much social activities, but he hasn't even played the Galgame game that the average otaku is keen on, and it seems that he is not even qualified as an otaku...
"Forget it, it's all out, just go around. I really didn't want to go back to that depressing place, so Jiuxia had no choice but to start wandering around the streets aimlessly.
The street is quite lively, although it is not as good as the center of the big city, at least there are still some buildings here, but the taller and taller buildings and those strange lights make Jiuxia feel even more empty.
I can't find a psychological connection with these modernizations at all, and I am like a lonely child, looking for my home aimlessly.
"What the hell... Do you want to become a poet if you go on like this..."Jiuxia was also speechless for a while about the idea that had just come to him, and he still pulled it down if he wrote poetry or something, and it is estimated that he can imitate Haizi's most successful posture of lying on the rails.
During the walk in time, Jiuxia found that the people around him seemed to be becoming fewer and fewer, and when he looked around, he found that he had walked to a relatively remote place, and beside him was an alley that looked very quiet.
"It's better to stay away from this kind of place. Jiuxia looked inside.
After all, monsters or something are imagination.,But it's hard to guarantee that there's a robbery or something.,That's a real existence.,People or something are much more terrifying and real than monsters.。
But just as Jiuxia turned around, a red light suddenly flashed in the alley.
"Hmm, what the hell...", Jiuxia, who had always been timid, somehow suddenly felt the urge to go and see it.
I walked in cautiously, but found that there was nothing else in it except the wall, "Also, I want to go crazy." Although no one else saw it here, Su Jiuxia touched his head a little unnaturally, smiled awkwardly, and then turned around and prepared to go home.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of whistling through the sky suddenly sounded in Jiuxia's ears, and Jiuxia didn't even have time to react, a blue sharp object had already passed by and slammed deeply into the wall behind him, and the spiderweb-like cracks spread out on the wall in an instant.
"Arrows... Ice Arrow...!!" When Jiuxia reacted and turned his head to see the things on the wall, he felt dizzy in his head.
Ice Arrows!Magic Ice Arrows!Magic Ice Arrows in the novel!Are you still at home and haven't woken up?Unconsciously touched her head again.
"Get out of the way!" The sudden voice in front of him made Jiuxia pull back consciousness slightly, but before he could fully understand what was going on, a red figure falling from the sky had already hugged himself and pushed him to the right before he could blink an eye.
"Well... Beautiful..."A delicate face that Jiuxia couldn't describe in words, Jiuxia's eyes couldn't help but be dull, but what made him feel even more strange was that her eyes were blood blue, blue on the left and red on the right, and even glowed with a slight light in the dark night, which was breathtaking, "I... Must be dreaming..."
"Bang!"
With so much information floating through his mind, Jiuxia slammed into the wall on the right, and the impact was so great that Jiuxia almost thought that he had fallen apart!
"You—" didn't come out yet.
The other party turned around and split the three ice arrows that attacked again behind him with a blow from the long flute in his hand, and his blood-blue eyes stared coldly at the darkness in front of him, "Your opponent is me, don't pull irrelevant people in again." ”
"Hey, hey, little demon sister, you still care so much about others, but can you still keep yourself?"
The demon pupil is Gu Qinghuan's code name.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!", three arrows roared out from the darkness behind with an ambiguous female voice, this time, there were not only ice-type arrows, but also fire attributes and light attributes!
"Divide the array, instantaneous shadow thunder!" The spirit array in the blue pupil of Qing Huan's left eye quickly rotated and transformed, and one of the three overlapping and staggered small formations that originally belonged to the outer circle of the formation and the central formation circuit quickly became larger, and together with the rotating strange formation pattern that occupied half the size in the central inner circle, it occupied the main position in the center of the pupil array, while the other two rotating small formations were still blank.
And the next second that the formation in his eyes rotated, Qing Huan had already disappeared from the spot, and almost at the same time, he had already pulled Jiuxia to appear three meters away, and he could dodge three attribute arrows.
"I... Just teleported?" Jiuxia's brain hadn't reacted yet, and his body was almost stiff over there.
"Yes, it's been so long, and the reaction is still so fast. There was the sound of tapping heels in the darkness, and Jiuxia finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.
"Japanese... A beautiful girl in uniform...?" Jiuxia suddenly came up with this thing in his head,, who would dress up like a Japanese anime heroine on the street in modern society and hang out! The burgundy headband tied on her head, the flowing but revealing fairy dress, and the knee-length double ponytail purple and black hair are completely the existence that should exist in a comic exhibition! Obviously she is so mature in dress, but she still looks like a fourteen-year-old girl, what kind of trouble is this! What's even more outrageous is that on her white right wrist, there is a pair of bone crossbows that seem to grow on it, and there are three arrows on each side of the open crossbow wings!
"Demon... Magical Girl..."Jiuxia couldn't help but lose her mind, and for a moment she forgot where she was.
"Stupid, don't go quickly!" "Facing this person who bumped into him inexplicably, Qinghuan was about to lose patience, the other party's strength was above him, and it was already very difficult to maneuver, and he didn't have the energy to take care of an ordinary person anymore!
"Oh... Oh..."Jiuxia replied as if he was stuttering, because his brain was completely dead.
"How... Will it be magical? just now... That's teleportation, right? They're like... It's all so beautiful..."In an instant, the plots of various novels I had read in the past came to mind, and I suddenly gained the supernatural power against the sky, recovered the ancient divine beasts, broke through layers of obstacles, captured countless beauties, and walked to the pinnacle of life!
"Smack!"
Suddenly, there was a heavy blow on the head, and finally pulled Jiuxia's consciousness back to reality.
"You're not leaving!" it turned out that Qinghuan had no choice but to knock him on the head.
"No, it's not a dream now, I'm going to die here. With his habitual cowardly nature and Qinghuan's slightly tough command, Jiuxia withdrew his gaze and instinctively ran outside.
"Okay, I've been running away and haven't spoken to each other yet, can you please tell me your purpose?" It is obvious that either Xiao Xuetong's sleep has suppressed the power of his pupil array, or this woman has been strong to an unknown realm, but judging from the situation in the past two days, the possibility of the first one is relatively high, otherwise, when he first met her in Hong Kong, he should have been killed by her.
"Eh, I forgot, it's not good, I'm a rabbit. The charming childish smile, if it appeared at the party, it would be the focus of everyone, and the right hand that was wrapped around suddenly tapped his little face, "I almost forgot, you forgot, it seems to be the same as in the news, not only the memory has disappeared, but even the appearance has changed." ”
The girl lifted her skirt and saluted, "Yu Qianye, on the orders of the master and myself, I came to find Miss Demon Hitomi." The fair-skinned right arm slowly lifted again.
"As for the disease, it's elemental mastery and bone alienation. Six arrows lit up with a cold light.
Heterogeneous disease, there is only one kind of ordinary heterogeneous patient, but there are also rare double diseases, but according to the current data, there are only two people in the world, and it is not like the fourteen-year-old girl in front of her, so since she already has two, then that is to say.
"She's at least LV4. Qinghuan frowned, it's better not to know, then why didn't she kill herself at once, she could have done it.
Once the infection level reaches 40%, you can enhance your own symptoms by killing other heterogeneous patients or have a certain chance of obtaining other people's diseases, but the probability is extremely low, so low that you may not be able to obtain other people's diseases by killing tens of thousands of heterogeneic patients, but those who succeed are all real killing machines!
"So... Try that trick. As soon as his foot kicked the ground, a thunderbolt directly sparked from the place where the sole of his shoe touched the ground, "Instant Shadow Thunder!" In an instant, he flashed behind the other party, the dragon pattern on the dark blood flute lit up, and the main formation pattern of the right pupil rotation also gushed out a strange and terrifying red light.
"Mundus Oculos, Bloodcrack!"
The technique derived from the "Third Pupil Array-Shattering" in the blood-colored right pupil forcibly increases all of its power through the pupil array and leads it to explode within any range of mind control with extremely destructive moves.
Turning around, he swung the flute to the left and slashed towards Yu Qianye, and the red light mist wrapped in the dark blood flute looked particularly sharp in the dark night.
"It's still so bad. ”
To Qinghuan's surprise, the other party's reaction speed was obviously not two or three grades faster than herself, and at the moment when the dark blood flute was about to touch her back, Yu Qianye had already turned around and blocked the attack with her bone crossbow, and her tone was quite teasing, "Just let my sister teach you again, how about it?"
"The reaction is so fast!", not daring to hesitate, the pupil array switched, and the instantaneous shadow lightning flashed, and quickly flashed to five meters away.
"LV4 can be so strong. "I thought that my killing move would be able to hurt the other party, but now it seems that it is far behind...
"Sure enough, it's a bit of a troublesome special ability. Yu Qianye stroked the place where the bone crossbow had just collided with the dark blood flute, and a broken crack appeared over there, "However, my sister's bones are not ordinarily hard." ”
"Click!" "Click!", the bone crossbow shook slightly, and the cracked place began to heal again.
"Moreover, the recovery is not usually fast. The right hand stretched out again, and the six arrows had relocked Qinghuan.
"What's the matter, you can't move, right? By the way, you're not ordinary weak after using the power of the Hitomi Array continuously. Looking at Qing Huan, who was laboriously supporting with a long flute not far away so as not to fall, a hint of hideousness flashed in Yu Qianye's smile, "It seems that the hunt is over, little demon sister." ”
"Wait, you're really going like this?" Jiu Xia, who had walked out of the alley for a long time, realized what he had just experienced.
That's right.,Magic!The magic that exists in the real society that I have personally experienced!Also,That's a beautiful girl who came out of the second dimension.,That kind of head swelling after teleportation.,Everything,It's all a surprise to Jiuxia.,Is everything really there.,Or is it your own illusion until now?
No, the pain in my back was so real, definitely not a dream.
"I... Should I go back?" Jiuxia held his somewhat swollen head in pain, and looked up at the side of the street, the dim light of the street lamp was trying to devour his body and soul like an invisible monster, intimidating and laughing at his cowardice, and the weak should obediently roll back to his "safe house", a person like him is not worthy of all this!
And even if you go back now, what can you do, cheekily beg one of them to take you as an apprentice? How could she need a cowardly apprentice like you, who could have those more qualified... But...
The consistent cowardly nature made Jiuxia want to run away again.
"Smack. He slapped himself hard, and Jiuxia held his hand on the ground of the road and panted heavily, causing a few passers-by to look sideways and lower their heads and whisper.
"Instead of living without a future like this, it's better to fight with your life once!"
"I can't... Don't do it!" Almost shouted in his heart, in the direction of the escape, Jiuxia rushed away, as if he was afraid that he would retreat and run away again as long as he paused, "Although I am useless and small, but, since the world doesn't like me, then there is no need for me to embrace this world again!"
Missing this opportunity, Jiuxia didn't know if he could meet him again, and he didn't have the capital to gamble again.
"Alas, little demon sister, you are really embarrassed. Yu Qianye looked at Gu Qinghuan, who could only lean against the wall, with some amusement.
"Open... What a joke..."The stimulation of a large amount of blood loss and wounds has already made Qing Huan a little unable to open his eyes, even if it has the strong recovery ability of the dragons brought to him by the dragon blood left in his body by Xiao Xuetong, but after all, the difference in strength is too big, in just a few minutes, he has been hit by four arrows in a row, and the trauma of various attributes looks a little miserable, this is still the result of Yu Qianye's mercy, otherwise, one blow can kill him in seconds.
"In the end, and... What's the solution?"
"Okay, good girl, it's time to drink the medicine, this is the master's special order. Yu Qianye took out a test tube of blood-red liquid from the bone crossbow, and the test liquid still exuded a rather vigorous light in this dark night, and if you looked closely, you could see a few strands of golden light flashing in this red liquid, like a golden dragon swimming in magma.
"Go away!" the flute swung reluctantly, but it was the end of the crossbow.
"Really, it's still so disobedient. Yu Qianye dodged the attack with a slight step back, but the charming child's voice sounded a little creepy at the moment.
"Sister helped you. The right hand stretched out again, and on both sides of the bone crossbow, two bone arrows slowly stretched out on the crossbow wings, "Don't, move." ”
"Pounce!"
The two arrows on the left and right just pierced Qing Huan's shoulder blades and nailed him to the wall, Qing Huan endured the pain and didn't even snort, "..."
"It's right. Holding Qinghuan's mouth with his left hand, he took the medicine in his right hand and poured it down.
"Alright, you're done. Yu Qianye retracted the test tube into the bone crossbow, and that look seemed to have completed a perfect work of art.
"That little ant seems to have come back to save you, my sister has gone first, good. Yu Qianye chuckled, gradually drowning in the night.
"Engage... What..."Although Qing Huan didn't even have the strength to raise his head, he was still relieved after knowing that the other party was gone, "Just now... What the hell is this crazy woman?"
Excessive blood loss and the overdraft of his own spiritual power have caused his consciousness to become more and more heavy, and now Qing Huan can only barely pull out the bone arrow in his body first, but he passed out directly to the ground before he took a few steps.
"Bang dang!"
The bone arrow fell to the ground and instantly turned into dust and disappeared into the air.
"Well, you... Huh, why are you so badly injured?" Jiuxia didn't think about whether they would leave, what they were going to say when they came in, but as soon as they came back, they were so frightened by this bloody scene that they lost half their lives.
In the past, I would only see so much blood when I watched horror movies at most, but now that I saw the real blood with a fishy smell, Jiuxia suddenly felt her stomach churning, "No, hold back." ”
"If you don't move, you won't die. Seeing that the other party did not respond, Jiuxia cautiously leaned in, turned over, and found that he was still breathing, "What, it's not the person just now?"
At the moment when Gu Qinghuan lost consciousness, he didn't realize that his original appearance had changed back, and he was beautiful and beautiful, but he also had a fairy wind.
"Anyway, this should be what it is... Why don't you bring it back first?" Su Jiuxia muttered to himself, he who had never dealt with this situation was now forcing his state of mind to stabilize.
"Damn, an immortal is an immortal, and a man's body can still be so gentle. "It's obviously inappropriate to just throw the other party here, if you send the other party to the hospital, I don't know if it will be dissected as a monster, in other words, the recovery power of this kind of person should be quite strong, think about it, Jiuxia still thinks that he will take him home first, but he pulled hard, and he almost fell.
In fact, subconsciously, Jiuxia does not want to share the strangeness he discovers with this society, because with social intervention in everything, there are often more bad things and fewer good things, especially in this society where the interests of the majority of people are the mainstay.
"Damn, disgraced. Although no one saw it, Jiuxia still felt very embarrassed, found a fork in the road with few people, and quietly returned to his home.
