Chapter 57: Showdown

As soon as he stepped on the second floor, Xu Changqing felt that something was wrong. Unlike what he expected, Nobuta didn't have the aura of the Chosen One.

She killed the fat hacker without depriving the other party of the Godhead fragments?

There is only one explanation for this: she has not fused a fragment of Godhead, she is not a Chosen One, so she cannot deprive the fat man of the fragment.

However, it doesn't make sense. The fat hacker has been reduced to a human skin. This would not have been possible until the fragments of the Godhead had been stripped away. Based on the experience of his previous life, the body of the Chosen One is always intact after death, and it cannot even be burned. No matter how powerful the Evil Spirit Illustrated Book is, it is impossible to destroy the corpse of a Chosen One.

Maybe Nobuta obtained some kind of spell and deliberately hid the aura of the Chosen One in his body; Maybe the human skin at the entrance of the alley that day was not a fat hacker. One of these two things must not be true. In line with the idea of anticipating the enemy and being wide, Xu Changqing would rather think that Xintian had obtained all the fragments of the fat man and was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

The fog demon's hidden fog technique can obscure the vision of others, but it is not limited by itself, and can even perceive opponents in 360 degrees in the fog. Although this move has no attack power, it is more effective than many killer moves. Even though Xintian had no signs of using the Hidden Mist Technique at the moment, Xu Changqing was secretly wary and did not dare to take it lightly.

He cautiously watched his surroundings, for fear that the other party was ambushing something.

The second floor was very bright, with countless candles lit, much more than he had imagined. In the center is a large classical crystal chandelier with candles burning on each twig. In addition, there are candlesticks more than one person high in the corners of the four walls, which are also fully lit.

The empty second floor has nothing but a few small suitcases in the corner. However, the large full-length mirror is very eye-catching. Standing at the end of the room, as tall as two people. The mirror reflected the candlelight red, and it was spotlessly clean. Nobuta stood in front of the dressing mirror, wearing-

God, where did she get the clothes?

A silver floor-length lace dress with countless small pearls at the hem. The tight-fitting moon-white silk lingerie has a classic design that shows off the smooth shoulders. The platinum diamond necklace hung around her neck, just the right length. The pear-shaped "Ice Blue Grudge" was hanging on her chest, gently swaying with her every move.

Nobuta's voice was full of laziness after intoxication. "It's a very good dress," she said, "and it's a collection of the English royal family." Shuntaro Satani's lucky guy occasionally robbed a passing car, but he didn't expect it to be in the trunk. ”

She turned in front of the dressing mirror, letting the hem of her skirt and necklace fly slightly. Her smile was brighter than a blue diamond, like a blooming flower, and she was extraordinarily proud.

"How's that, am I beautiful?"

Xu Changqing nodded sincerely: "It's beautiful." In this kind of thing, he felt that there was no need to deny it against his will.

Nobuta proudly pulled up the hem of his skirt and bowed slightly like a lady of a medieval court: "Do you think I won too easily?" ”

"If it means the seizure of diamonds, the answer is no. This victory is commensurate with your strength. ”

Hearing Xu Changqing say this, Xintian's smile became even happier. "I got the full security package for the Smithson Museum beforehand," she began to show off, "through a special channel." There's an old Chinese saying that luck favors those who are prepared, right? ”

Special channel, yes, by threatening Nagaoka's hapless fat man. Xu Changqing complained secretly. But then Nobuta's words surprised him.

"That security plan was sold by me six more times. Six international thieves bought the plan from me. With this alone, I made 180 million in vain. ”

It turned out that the suspicious characters who appeared in the exhibition hall that day were all second-hand solutions that bought Xintian? Xu Changqing suddenly felt a little ashamed. He always thought that Xia Cheng sold it, but he wronged her.

“…… Do you make this little money too? There's no need. ”

"For me, there's never enough money. You see," Nobuta's hand casually swiped into the box in the corner, "it's all my treasure." It's a pity that it's too eye-catching to take with you. I tricked the fat man of Saya into building a secret warehouse in the suburbs, and he agreed without thinking about it. ”

“…… Aren't you afraid of being stolen by scavengers? ”

"There are little evil ghosts guarding the door, who can steal it? Occasionally, a few passers-by were killed by them. Now no one dares to come, and even the people who bought the farm have announced that they have given up. ”

It turns out that this is how the rumors of the haunted farm came about. Couples committed suicide by taking poison to spread false rumors.

At that moment, Xu Changqing suddenly realized that he was completely thinking too much before. The memories of his past life certainly gave him many clues, but they also limited his thinking.

The fog demon in his previous life was indeed a shrewd guy to the bone, and he had no last resort, and he had a good reason to do anything. However, it was a fog demon that had grown up, not the new debut of Nobuta. It has been less than a month since the woman in front of her obtained the Evil Spirit Illustrated Book, and she has just tasted the taste of power, but she is just a fan of wealth and a rookie. She's here at the risk of being discovered, and the reason is as simple as it gets: she can't wait to try on new dresses, she wants to indulge in a dream of luxury, and that's it.

The world's only beautiful blue diamond, paired with a royal classical dress that she had long wanted to wear, she couldn't resist this temptation.

"The police are coming, there are fifteen minutes left," Xu Changqing looked at Xintian, "Let's prepare for a fight, the matter between us must end before they arrive." ”

Nobuta's smile froze, and little by little he turned to anger. "Why won't you let me go!" She yelled at Xu Changqing, "Isn't it that Polaris coveted your godhead crystal once, and even that time you took advantage, all the crystals I finally collected were snatched away by you!" At the moment, I have earned all this by myself! Am I at fault? What do I owe you? Why do you want to rob me again and again? And then I'll rob you for nothing? Did you already calculate that when I got the diamond, you would come and rob me immediately? I knew you'd been spying on me, but I didn't expect it to be so thorough. You've been waiting for me to grab the diamond, haven't you? ”

As soon as her voice ended, her fierce accusation suddenly turned into a soft pleading: "Mr. Xu, I know you are very powerful." Even if I have mastered the Evil Spirit Illustrated Book, I won't dare to trouble you—"

"You burned down that apartment building," Xu Changqing pointed out, "and you should have killed people before setting it on fire, right?" ”

"Killing was wrong," Nobuta admitted, "and that was the first and only time I tried to get revenge on you." I've never bothered you since. You disappeared cleanly, and I can't find you," she looked at Xu Changqing, her voice extremely tactful, almost pleading, "Mr. Xu, why can't we cooperate?" With your wrist, my strength, what can't I get? ”

Xu Changqing lowered his head, as if thinking about how to answer.

The candle flame flickered, and a faint shadow suddenly appeared behind him. At that moment, Xu Changqing suddenly shrank and squatted! The Banshee's sword slashed through what should have been her neck, slashing into the air. He then kicked the ground hard! One rolls over on its side and rolls out seven or eight meters. The cold blade almost grazed his back and slashed off, leaving a deep crack in the floor.

"You see, that's why we can't cooperate," Xu Changqing smiled at Xintian, "Your vanity, **, and ambition are not allowed, and there is really a lack of trust between us." ”

The sneak attack failed, and Shinda no longer covered it up. "Kuroki," she coldly ordered the Banshee of Pain, "kill him." ”
