"Dean Kuroki Masako," Xu Changqing addressed the banshee by her first name, "You should know that if the Evil Spirit Atlas loses its owner, you who are sealed in it will also dissipate. ”

"I have fulfilled my wishes," replied the Banshee of Pain indifferently, "and it is natural that I should return to the bosom of my Lord. ”

Xu Changqing's answer made Kuroki's green eyes glow. "As a banshee of pain, I'm afraid it's impossible," he said sincerely, "The Illustrated Book of Evil Spirits has been circulated for a thousand years, and the fate of those evil spirits has long been proven in history. The pain of the loss of spiritual power will drive you mad, slaughtering all living creatures that come your way in despair. The stronger you are and the longer you hold on, the more you will be able to kill wildly. ”

"I can find a place where no one is around and wait quietly for it to end," Kuroki looked around, "like here." ”

"A large number of police are coming, and it will be crowded with people soon," Xu Changqing looked at his watch, "We still have about five minutes." Plus, you'll be able to keep your sanity for about an hour. After that, you'll become a crazy monster with nothing but killing. When that happens, you'll try to find, slaughter, and be completely uncontrolled. ”

Kuroki didn't answer, silent as a statue. Xu Changqing stood straight and looked at it calmly. After a long time, it suddenly spoke: "That book may not recognize you." ”

"That's my business," Xu Changqing smiled lightly, "I have the confidence to withstand its test, and I also have the consciousness to challenge failure." ”

"If it works, what do you want to do with it?"

"I have a big goal, and the Evil Spirit Atlas is just a passing stone on the way. I will not make empty promises that the great-sounding ideal of helping the people of the world is far from my goal. But I can promise to treat everyone fairly. Whether he is humble or powerful, he is equal before my righteousness. ”

Staring at the burning eyes of the green flame, the banshee's gaze seemed to burn through Xu Changqing's heart. After a few more stalemates, it suddenly withdrew its sword. "If you fail in the challenge, you'll be the first one I'll kill."

"Thank you." Xu Changqing smiled and nodded to Kuroki. He walked over to Nobuta, stepping on a pool of blood, and pulled the thick book from the crook of her still warm arm.

Two minutes later, the sound of thumping footsteps came from the stairs. Xia Cheng carried a gun and ran up to the second floor out of breath. "The police are coming!" "I can already see the headlights, and there are still a few kilometers to go," she said hurriedly, "and the lights are already visible, and there are still a few kilometers to go—" and her words suddenly stopped, and changed to a tone of utter surprise, "Oh my God, what are you doing?" That's—that's—"

The big book with dark green scales and lizard skin cover was lying firmly in the crook of Xu Changqing's arm at the moment. The Banshee of Pain stood aside, with a respectful attitude. Mariko Nobuta was lying on the floor, her eyes wide open and her face bloodless. A shadow with a faint glow floated above her corpse, its face resembling that of Nobuta.

At this moment, the shadow was speaking to Xu Changqing: "Put me in the book, please, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die......"

Xu Changqing looked serious: "One last time I remind you, you must think clearly." It is not easy to live forever as a sealed demon. ”

"That's better than dying," Nobuta's shadow pleaded, "as long as you don't die, anything is fine." ”

"Well, let's try and see which of the spirits you can light up in the pages. The ugly words are said first, in case they are not recognized by it, they may be absorbed," Xu Changqing solemnly warned Shintian's shadow, "That's a complete soul, think clearly." ”

"I ...... I have to try. ”

Now that Xintian has made up his mind, Xu Changqing no longer persuades. He held up the Illustrated Book of Evil Spirits, held it up to Nobuta's shadow, and recited a strange word. As soon as the words fell, the pages of the book immediately began to turn without wind and automatically. It flipped to a certain page, and suddenly there was a flash of light, sucking Nobuta's shadow in.

Xia Cheng walked over tremblingly: "What are you doing?" Was that Nobuta's ghost just now? ”

"In the usual sense of the word, sort of."

"And now?"

"Now?" Xu Changqing looked down at the page that the Evil Spirit Illustrated Book automatically opened, "Female succubus...... That's really apt. ”

Three minutes later, police cars arrived and surrounded the farm. The abandoned building became a sea of police lights. As far as the eye can see, there is a double flash of red and white.

Inspecting the Minister Uchihai, he hurried up the stairs with his subordinate Sekine. There are already quite a few police officers standing on the second floor. There are those who take pictures, there are those who make records, and there are those who collect fingerprints and other evidence everywhere. Utsumi saw a man lying on the ground, and his heart chuckled. He squeezed into the crowd, and sure enough, he saw the body of Mariko Nobuta. He was pierced in the left chest with a sword, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"I've been missing for so long, but I'm ......still killed," Guan Gen was indignant, "Such a beautiful girl can do it, Xu Changqing is really a beast!" ”

"So many people died in the hotel, why don't you say it." There was a pretense next to him, and the local policeman muttered.

"Can it be the same?" Sekine reluctantly pulled the policeman to carry it, "This is a beauty, a beauty!" ”

"That's enough, Sekine!" Utsumi covered his face, "Shut up, if you continue to talk about it, the face of the Edo Metropolitan Police Department will be lost by you." ”

"Yes, yes." Sekine shut his mouth in disbelief.

Utsumi's face was solemn, and he frowned and said to himself: "I first robbed the diamond, and then fled all the way to this abandoned farm, and then I killed Nobuta." Why do you have to be here? ”

At this time, someone next to him asked, "Isn't the video at the hotel good?" ”

Another replied: "Some of them were urgently transferred, but it didn't work." The people in the picture are like fighting with the air, falling down and then dying. They could be seen bleeding from injuries, but who did it was not visible on the video. ”

Utsumi interjected into the discussion: "Obviously, Xu Changqing has mastered some kind of supernatural power. ”

This was quite agreeable, and someone echoed it: "Yes, I heard that there are also reports of supernatural killings on Chikushi Island, as well as photos." The corpses were burned black, and the clothes were not damaged at all. ”

"There are some all over the world," another whispered, "I used to think it was just gossip on the Internet, but I didn't expect ......"

Utsumi suddenly felt a pain in his temples. He pressed his forehead and sighed: "If you don't catch Xu Changqing again, I really can't imagine how much more things he will do, alas." ”

"It's a pity, it's a step too late this time!" Sekine sighed.

The police cast a large net near the Dangbesu River, and there were checkpoints at every intersection, and each checkpoint was equipped with long guns. However, with the hacker Uesugi here, the net has also leaked into a sieve. Following his instructions, Xu Changqing and Xia Cheng drove around the river embankment, hid the car in a long-abandoned warehouse, and then climbed over the gas pipeline across the river. There was a bus stop opposite, and the two of them waited for about five minutes to catch a late-night bus to downtown Huihoroza without anyone checking along the way.

As for the sniper rifle, it was thrown into the river long before climbing the gas pipe. When the silt at the bottom of the Bescheon River has accumulated for many years, the rifle will slowly sink to the bottom of the mud and disappear forever.
