Living in a small hotel in the middle of nowhere, it's like a world away. It's been almost two months since I knew it.

Xu Changqing carried a hare and moved between the rows of wooden benches. The floors are also made of wood, but they are not the fine, smooth wood that can be found everywhere in the public works shops in Horoza City. The planks are rough and completely hand-planed. He walked past a few women who were sitting and chatting, and heard them talking about him. Sensing his footsteps, these nagging middle-aged women immediately stopped. He didn't care, and raised his hand to greet them.

He really wanted to go to Kyushu now and find trouble with the trickster, but reality didn't allow it. In the battle on the ship, too many godhead fragments were harvested, and they had to be fused. The banshee Kuroki is seriously injured and urgently needs to absorb the soul. The succubus is also about to upgrade and is in the bottleneck stage. In a word, we must transform the harvest into strength as soon as possible.

While on the ship, Ye Meng pried the cargo hold safe to get a pocket. There weren't really many godhead fragments in there. 3 cyan, 2 silver, the type is relatively rare.

Coupled with the 13 variegated colors contributed by the fat hacker, the 9 yellow pieces recovered from Zuode's body, and the 8 purple pieces seized by the female assassin Emily, he suddenly had 35 pieces, and he suddenly became very rich.

He desperately searched for materials, and it took him nearly two months to fuse all these godhead fragments.

The most reborn change is that the physique finally broke through 20 points and entered the legend. His skin was as iron as iron now, and the bullets of ordinary power pistols could no longer gnaw at him, let alone swords. Even with injuries, recovery is surprisingly fast.

In addition, he has mastered a lot of useful spells. Such as the Fat Hacker's Hidden Mist Technique, Zod's Shining Scales, and the Female Assassin Emily's two spells: the Shadow Pocket and the Dark Realm.

Concealment (1 ring) summons a large fog. Being in the fog can obscure the vision of others, but you are not restricted, and you can even perceive the opponent in a 360-degree way in the fog.

Shining Scale (2 rings) is a protective spell. Within 3 minutes, the skin glows with a silvery glow and is protected. Any contact that may have a penetrating effect will be deflected. This means that it is immune to all physical attacks, not even a sniper rifle against the chest. The cooldown of this spell is 5 minutes. In other words, every 2 minutes, you can transform into an invulnerable Superman.

The Dark Realm (1 ring) can turn an area within 3 meters of your body into absolute darkness. When you learn this spell, you will also receive a dim vision. Like the Hidden Mist, this is also a trick that interferes with the opponent's perception. Although it is not as wide as the Hidden Mist Technique, it only lasts for 1 minute. But it can be instantaneous, and it can also be done indoors.

Shadow pockets (1 ring) are more useful. It's a constant channeling spell that provides 3 cubic meters of shadow space for everything, dead or alive. However, if you put something alive in it, it will usually become dead when you take it out. Emily was attacked in bed, and she was defenseless but was able to find two daggers, relying on this trick. Xu Changqing tried to put the Yellow Spring Moon in it, and he succeeded. It's not too much of a save. Walking down the street with a katana in his waist, the police uncle will definitely look for trouble. With the Shadow Pocket, the problem is perfectly solved.

There are still some spells in the other seven, seven, eight, and eight, all of which are useless because of the incomplete configuration, and they are not used at the moment. There is no way to do this, so you can only collect it slowly.

Now it's time to find a way to bring the banshee Kuroki back to life. Xu Changqing bought some materials and came back to study. The room was full of books: maps, local chronicles, biographies. One of the largest maps hangs in the window, blocking all the sunlight. It was an old military map, more precise than any marketplace. The mountains around Abashiri are marked one by one. One of the hills is painted with a red circle - Mt. Kumanta.

It used to be a mine and was used as a base by the rioting miners. After the defeat, they retreated into the tunnels to defend themselves. The pursuers suffered heavy losses in several attacks, and finally gave up going deep and directly blocked the tunnel.

Looking at the map, Xu Changqing's eyes fell on a small village near Amishiri, the town of Yuanbetsu. There was a small church in the town, and the priest who recruited the guards lived there. Since he issued a notice at the Blue Bird Bar to solicit guards, he must know some insider. Before going deep into Mt. Kumanta, you should ask this priest for some news.

When the Harley-Davidson stopped at the door of the small church, it attracted some attention. The town is too small, and the foreign vehicles are very eye-catching, especially the motorcycles like Harley.

Xu Changqing pushed open the door and walked into the church. It's pretty shabby, with six or seven rows of benches all painted and armrests polished. The icon in the middle is also very old, and there is even pigeon poop on the shoulder. A slender young man, dressed in the red robes characteristic of the deacons, stood beside the icon. Seeing Xu Changqing coming in, he nodded in greeting.

"Pastor Bright?" Xu Changqing asked.

"Pastor Bright is not here now," replied the young man kindly, "I'm Trainee Pastor Amakusa Tokima who is in charge of the usual chores. What can I do for you? ”

"I've seen his comments on the Blue Bird Bar bulletin board. He's recruiting guards—"

Before Xu Changqing finished speaking, Amakusa Shizhen interrupted him. "I'm sorry, the mission has been canceled," he said apologetically, "I'm sorry to let you come for nothing." ”

Cancelled?

Xu Changqing looked at Amakusa Shizhen, who looked calm. "Mr. Amakusa, it's not that I don't believe you," he said, "but I still want to talk to Pastor Bright face to face." Can you tell me, where did he go? ”

Amakusa shook her head, "I'm so sorry, I haven't seen Pastor Bright for almost a week. He didn't leave any messages, which is not like his way of doing things. I'm also confused. To be honest, I'm worried that something might have happened to him. He always remembered the spirits of the dead on the mountain. This could be dangerous for him. ”

"Why does worrying about the undead on the mountain bring danger to him?"

"Because the undead are inherently dangerous. I hoped that Pastor Bright would be safe, but the longer he was gone, the less hope there was of a safe return," Amakusa said, "I had asked for help." There was an expedition that passed through the town of Enbetsu and the target was also Mount Kumantake. I asked them to help find the pastor, but they also disappeared. ”

Maybe it was intuition, Xu Changqing instinctively felt that something was wrong with this. "How did you know the expedition was missing?" He seized on this point and asked Amakusa Tokima.

Amakusa stammered, "Uh...... Because they never came back, and they didn't come back with any words. ”

Xu Changqing continued to ask: "Is the expedition team familiar with you?" Why did I bring you a message? ”

Amakusa's face became unnatural: "I—I'm not sure if I'm familiar with them. Since everything happened to the priests, and so did the expeditions that went to the same place, isn't it natural and logical? Of course, maybe I'm just nervous, maybe I'm wrong or not. ”

"So, you're sure Pastor Brett went to Mt. Kumantake."

"No!" Amakusa Shijin strongly denied, and shook his hands for a while, "I don't know where Pastor Bright is, don't ask me about this." You can go to him yourself, maybe your luck will be better than his, who knows. ”

"Of course," Xu Changqing nodded, "I will definitely go to Pastor Bright." After all, there are some things that only he may know. ”

Amakusa Shijin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly said, "Maybe you can go to the small inn on the shore of Zhuju Nei Lake and ask." He once mentioned that he would stay there for a while. ”

"What is he doing there?"

Amakusa shrugged: "I don't know. I investigated all the records he left behind, and found only one clue. ”

There was also a problem with this, Xu Changqing continued to ask: "You just said that you don't know where he is. Then he said that he might be on the shore of Ju Nei Lake. You say it's a clue you found from the records, but you just said that it's what he told you. ”

Amakusa was visibly flustered: "Did I say that? Uh--I may have said that, but I also found some clues in the record. What's the contradiction in this? ”

"You're a little incoherent," Xu Changqing stared at Amakusa, "What are you hiding?" ”

"No, no, no," Amakusa shook her hand, "I'll tell you everything I know!" Pastor Bright instructed me—told me that he was indeed staying on the shore of Juju Lake! ”

"Instructions? Or tell? ”

Amakusa Shijin covered his forehead, and when he put it down again, his expression suddenly became very hideous. "I've tried my best to give you a chance not to get involved in this, but ** just refuses! Now that you've finally been pushed to this point, are you satisfied? He roared, "In the name of the Kuwata Great Myojin, the sanction of the gods!" "--------------------- new volume is open! Keep up your support!
