Chapter 1: Encounters

She has a code name called Ash. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is not black, nor white, but gray in between.

Blood splattered all over her body, making her feel a trace of warmth in the vast dark night, but the temperature also slowly faded with the falling raindrops.

When the rain rises, the rain is getting heavier, and there is a faint trend towards heavy rain.

Ah, it's time to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Such a thought suddenly popped into the gray chaos's mind.

Dragging her tired body, she leaned against the wall and moved forward step by step.

Just now, she used the price of one arm to kill the ultimate target of her mission.

The injured leg was still bleeding, the hemostatic had begun to fail, and even her chest began to seep blood, and the heavy rain had accelerated her blood loss.

Ash couldn't move, she felt as if she had lost command of her whole body, and her body collapsed.

She leaned silently against the wall before she remembered.

Ah, by the way, she broke through the encirclement before that.

She felt a chill all over her body, not the cold shiver, but the chill that began to rise from the tips of her toes.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Is she just going to die? Strange, why didn't she feel scared, but breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

She... I'm going to die after all.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked like he was smiling.

Finally... Finally... It's liberated...

Before she fell into the darkness, she seemed to see a bright flash.

On December 9, 396 in the cosmic calendar, the first on the cosmic wanted list, Killer Ash, broke through the encirclement of 500 strong soldiers, successfully assassinated Ambassador Teniwa, and disappeared so far.

The tip of the nose smells different from the rotten concrete, and the faint scent of grass is the main reason for the ash to wake up.

She rolled over with a carp stiffening, and her fingers quickly touched the dagger hanging from her thigh, but this touch was empty.

Seeing the grass in front of him, as if something was coming out, the five fingers of Gray's right hand were put together, and with a force, sharp nails were squeezed out of the fingertips. Seeing the opportunity, she leaned down and quickly swept forward against the ground.

I saw that the towering grass quickly parted in a straight line, and rushed straight towards the towering grass at the other end.

Between the lightning and flint, Ash's fingers stabbed into the grass, killing or being killed, two words she had only been taught.

There was a thin exclamation in the grass, and the gray nails stopped less than a centimeter from the object in the grass.

She stared at the strange creature, and for the first time she hesitated, not knowing whether to kill or not.

Ash had never seen a creature like this, smaller than a doll, wearing a dress with pink petals, slightly curly pink hair, a delicate face, and a pair of transparent wings like thin insect wings on the back.

The little creature turned pale with fright, and it held a leaf half the size of her body in its hand, and a drop of dew had accumulated on it.

Ash thought about it, and finally decided to kill this unknown creature, the more beautiful it looked, the more dirty and terrifying it was behind the scenes.

Just as she decided to do it, the little creature roared at her.

β€œ######οΌŸβ€ The creature looked small, and its voice was soft, and the rebuke that came out of his chest did not sound harsh at all, but soft and glutinous, like the sweetest saccharification in his mouth, and people couldn't help but want to put it in his arms and knead it.

Ash didn't have any strange thoughts about the creature, but was unfamiliar with the language it spit out, and this stunned thought the little thing flew out of the range of her fingers and flew in front of her.

β€œ#######。”

After saying this a few times, the creature seemed to understand that the human in front of her could not understand her language at all, so he gestured to the leaf and Ash, which made Ash understand that the little thing wanted her to drink the dew on the leaf.

By this point, she didn't want to kill this strange little thing, whether it was a new trial, or a ploy by the enemy, she was just stating the fact that she was alive and well.

She didn't know that it was disappointment, but she suddenly wanted to sigh, although she had never done that.

Seeing that the human in front of him didn't drink, the creature was anxious and shouted something, but Ash didn't understand, just shook his head lightly.

It may seem like a dewdrop, but it may be the strongest poison, and although she doesn't want to live so much, she doesn't want to die so much.

Turning her head, she looked into the distance, the wind blowing through her short hair, blowing her bangs into a mess. Ash habitually tucked his bangs and clamped them between his ears, but he was dumbfounded to find that the arm that had been cut off not long ago was only connected by a layer of skin, but now it was intact, and it was there.

Her vigilance just now was just instinct, but she didn't care about the changes in her body, but this look made her very puzzled. Not only the injuries on her arms, but also the injuries on her legs and body, were all gone. Except for her tattered bloody clothes, only a faint scar indicates that she has experienced a vicious fight.

Gray's nerves tense again, modern high-tech treatment can even reach the point of rebirth of a severed limb, but the problem is that she is a killer, no relatives, no friends, ugly face, hoarse voice, even the people in the organization, they are very disgusted with her, every time she is injured, she just silently returns to the hiding place, sewing it up with needles and threads, and who will help her do this kind of advanced treatment?

And what does that man covet?

Seeing that the human in front of him was ignoring him, the strange little thing puffed out his cheeks angrily, turned around and wanted to leave, but flew a few steps, looked back at the man's back, looked at the dew in his hand, turned his head and flew back.

It remembered the encounter with this human a week ago, but it was out to collect nectar, accidentally separated from its companions, and found a human covered in blood on the grass.

At that time, this human was really angry, not far from the god of the dead, but fortunately, she brought a drop of life dew with her, which allowed this human to pick up a life.

Since then, it has brought a drop of dew of life to the human's life every day.

It also remembered its shock at seeing the human's ugly centipede-like scars crawling all over her body, and its horror at seeing her disfigured face, but in the end, it all turned into deep sympathy and indignation.

This human being is a woman, a weaker woman who should be protected and cared for, how could anyone treat a woman like this?! I really don't know what happened to this human, not an inch of her exposed skin is intact, and there are more or less scars.

As the little thing brought the dew of life to Ash day after day, watching the wounds on Ash's body heal little by little, it felt more and more heavy in its heart.

Ash who has worked hard in the killer camp since childhood, the wounds on his body are terrifying that this simple little thing has never seen, burns, burns, burns, and all kinds of scars are all sewn together with simple needles and threads, forming a twisted centipede, and when the little thing checks the recovery of the ash, he often can't help but want to cry.

What did this person go through to become like this?

The little thing overflowing with compassion guarded this human for a week, but he didn't expect this human to wake up for the first time but he drew a knife against himself.

Seeing this, any sympathy flew to the back of his head, but he was aggrieved and angry, so he blurted out, "Do you treat your life-saver like this?" ”

Then the human indifference made it itch with hatred, and it wanted to walk away angrily, but when it looked back at her back, it felt that she looked invisible, very lonely, so the little thing that began to flood with sympathy again flew back with the big leaf in its hand.

Seeing that the strange creature handed the leaf to him again, and his big eyes flashed with anticipation, Ash finally did not refuse, and dripped the dew into his mouth.

As soon as the dew entered her mouth, she felt a sweet taste spread through her mouth, and as she swallowed it, the warm heat stretched out from inside her body, leaving her confused.

She was born with a lower body temperature than usual, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead like this, and hot air coming out of her hands, which only appeared when she had a high fever due to an infection in her wound.

It seems that it is really poison... Ash looked at the little thing dancing happily, but he couldn't kill it anymore, and only felt his eyelids sink more and more until he fell into darkness.

This... I guess I'm really dead.

The tip of her nose was filled with a faint smell of grass, and she opened her eyes blankly, or the same blue sky, and she still didn't die?

Turning her head, she saw the little pink thing asleep on the grass beside her. It probably weighs very lightly, light enough to allow it to sleep on the lush green leaves.

Looking at this little thing like this, Ash suddenly remembered the beautiful and unreachable rag dolls he saw through the window when he was a child.

Sit up with a wry smile, she found that the tiredness of her whole body had been swept away, and her five fingers shook and clenched, she felt that she had never felt so good.

Standing up, she stretched her body, and then her body disappeared into place, setting off a breeze.

No, she was just too fast, as if she had lost a trace.

Stabbing, blocking, kicking, spinning, each movement is so coherent, and so full of power and beauty.

The little pink thing woke up at some point, sitting on the blade of grass, the little face was red, watching her every action intently, seeing the highlights, I couldn't help but wave two small fists, wanting to compare, but accidentally dropped the blade of grass, and ended up in close contact with the ground.

Patting the dust off his body in a carefree manner, the little thing flapped its wings and flew up again, catching up with the coming ash.

Ash felt that her body was much lighter, not only the old injuries had healed, but also the bouncing power had increased a lot, rarely, she felt in a good mood.

"You're in good healthβ€”" The little thing got stuck in its throat in the middle of its words, as if it had seen something unbelievable, and after being surprised, its big eyes narrowed to reveal an expression of intoxication.

Ash suddenly had a bad premonition, and when she looked out, she saw a small lake at the foot of the hillside not far away, so she quickly ran there.

The people reflected in the lake have a lot of skin exposed, and only a few tattered pieces of cloth cover the important parts. Her hair is also messy, and there are mud marks on her face, but even so, it can't hide the peerless elegance of her appearance.

Her eyes, in particular, looked scorching even in the reflection of the river, like bright stars, attracting all brilliance.

Ash sank his face, his nails sticking out, and he grabbed straight down at his face.

The little pink thing only had time to exclaim when the blood on the gray face bubbled out. She couldn't grasp it clearly, the skin and flesh were blooming, and the little thing she saw was almost fainting, but she was still not satisfied, and reached out to grab it again.

β€œοΌοΌβ€

The little thing was in a hurry, shouted something, and then flew up and grabbed her fingers, and pulled it outward, but its little face was red but could not cause resistance to the ash, and seeing that she was about to draw a line on her face again, before she had time to think about it, the little thing spat out a quick language from its mouth, and a white six-pointed star formed in front of it attracted the attention of the gray.

As soon as she paused, she gave the little thing time to finish the strange language, and the six-pointed star also turned into two rays of light and shot at the center of the eyebrows of the gray and the little thing.

Ash didn't have time to dodge, and was drilled into his body by the unknown light, and suddenly felt like something more in his mind, but there was no discomfort.

Whew~~~ The little pink thing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Put your hand down, put it down quickly!" ”

Ash suddenly understood the language of the little thing, and when he saw the little thing's angry look, he unconsciously put down the hand that was about to catch his face.

The little pink thing looked at the scratches on the beautiful face in front of him in pain, and muttered, "Ahhhh ”

"What a pity?"

Ash's sudden answer startled the little thing and made Ash frown.

Even the sound has been restored...

The little thing's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Your voice is so good, too." ”

Then it flew up to its gray knees, crossed its hands on its hips, and said, "Pity your face, why do you scratch it?" ”

Ash thought for a moment and said, "No. ”

"Don't need it?"

"Yes."

She's a killer, and the most important thing is to attract attention, and an ugly face that people can't remember will be more suitable for a killer than a beautiful and shocking face. Therefore, she has always appeared in the world with a disfigured appearance, which is another reason why the group avoids her.

As a lone killer, she doesn't need this pretty face that will get her into trouble. Beautiful things are always easy to arouse the favor of others, and she does not need to be approached with kindness. Moreover, she is not a killer who uses her body and appearance to tempt the other party and then assassinate as she wants, she prefers to stay quietly in the dark and look for an opportunity to assassinate.

Yes, she prefers stabbing to killing.

The joy of finding each other's flaws always makes her forget that she is just an emotionless killer, and only in that moment will she feel that she is still alive.

"What's not needed, you're a girl, it's a pity to have such a broken face."

The little thing's face wrinkled, and then he said, "And the girl is out of shape, and it will be difficult to find a husband in the future." ”

Strange little thing, Ash glanced at the little thing, and then wanted to cut his face again.

The little thing was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed her finger and said, "You can't do this, we have signed an equal sharing contract, if you cut your face, my face will also be broken!" ”

"Equal sharing contract?"

The little thing nodded desperately, leaving Ash wondering if its tiny head would fall off its thin neck.

"What's that?"

"That's not a thing, it's the light that just entered your body, it's a contract!"

Indenture... Muttering a few times, Ash seemed to remember the thunderstorm day when he entered the organization, and was forced to sign a contract...

Sure enough, the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are.

In an instant, she was filled with murderous intent.

The little pink thing didn't know that he was being targeted by death, but said to himself, "After signing this contract, you can not only master all the languages I know, but also share my life." ”

"You've earned it, you humans have only lived for a few hundred years, and after following me, your lifespan will reach my long."

The little guy's words suddenly made Ash dispel her murderous aura, it sounds like this contract has no side effects, but will prolong her life?

For the first time, her heart was filled with doubt.

Aside from the Federation's life essence, she hadn't heard of a way to extend her life through a contract.

Seeing the suspicious expression of the human in front of him, he was anxious, and added, "But we have a rule here, I saved you, and your life is mine, so you have to listen to me in the future!" ”

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Fan Jingjing, and we will be a community of life in the future! You are not allowed to hurt yourself again. ”

It wasn't until later that Ash learned that the Equal Sharing Contract was a shared language, a contract to extend life, a magic that would only be used to enlighten her fellow species, and a contract that benefited her side. She will live as long as Pink Crystal, but she and Pink Crystal are completely separate entities, and the death of either will not affect the other. And the so-called rules of the continent do not exist at all. The little thing that was overflowing with sympathy was completely afraid that she would hurt herself again, and deliberately blinded her.

It's just that Ash doesn't know, and Pink Jingjing doesn't know how much the meeting between the two of them will bring to this continent and this world in the future.
