9. Bounty monster puppets

Nangong, Xijing's destination, also roughly guessed, as far as the fragrance of flowers and her elegant posture are concerned, she must not go to any place that belongs to the category of "vulgar" in her opinion.

Eventually, Xijing stopped in front of the flower bed of a ubiquitous park, which was already past the time for the elderly to exercise in the morning, and as a working day, middle-aged people who were running around for their livelihood naturally did not have the time to stay here, and as for children, even if they played games, they probably wouldn't be able to look down on it.

It was too quiet, Xiyun was silent as if she was thinking about something, and Nangong naturally wouldn't disturb her out of place.

Whew, whether it's quieting down, or when fighting with the spirit mirror, Xixun, who must be described as beautiful and elegant, why should she be hated because of sins that shouldn't belong to her?

"I was originally a very ordinary knife that was forged during the war."

Just when Nangong was hesitating whether to talk to Xixuan, this demon sword spirit that needed to rely on human essence to survive suddenly opened its mouth, mixed with helplessness and melancholy that even Nangong could easily find, "Compared to those famous swords, I can't even compare to them." But the problem is, the one who uses me. ”

"Ordinary knives would have broken in war anyway, but because of the relationship between the owner at that time, I kept it intact. Well...... In other words, it is sharper. I guess you know why that's the case, right? ”

Why did it become so sharp, maybe it was because it was stained with the blood of the enemy, and at the same time, Xi Xun's very ordinary knife gradually began to enrich herself with the essence of the souls under those knives.

Although this is incredible just thinking about it, the demon sword Xixing is indeed standing in front of him so intact.

"But even those who live long will die. Before dying, in order to prevent me from being evil, the master buried me under the cherry tree, intending to let me simply rust and corrode, and then die. Pity...... There are always people who come to the shade under the trees or stop to watch. ”

Therefore, no one is willing to die so easily, and living is probably instinctive for Xijing.

"Later, because of a lot of things...... I have a body, and of course, it's even more impossible to willingly break myself. ”

Xi Xun untied the cloth bag containing the knife and stroked the blade of the knife, "Even if it's me, I want to live, don't I?" ”

【Squeak】

Slightly abrupt, shrill sound, Xi Xun raised his head as if he had noticed something.

In order to survive, it must use human essence as a demon knife for food, and it must attack the reason why human beings obtain essence, and it is only so that it can act next time with strength.

Yes...... That's right!

If the reason why Xixun really had to attack humans was because he wanted to obtain enough essence for his next move, then maybe there was a way to do it!

【Squeak ......】

"Now, Xijing, have you heard anything......"

【Squeak Squeak Squeak ......】

There was a harsh sound like wood rubbing, and when Nangong turned his head to ask, he found that it was not Xixun who was also questioning.

The slightly rough and jerky movements, but it still didn't stop Xi Xun from pulling out the knife and touching the blade to her own neck.

"Hey!? What are you doing? ”

In an instant, Nangong, who couldn't care about much, could only choose to crash into Xiyun with his body, and at the same time that he and Xixuan fell to the ground, Xijing's eyes seemed to become clear.

"This ...... Feed! Hurry up! ”

Xixing roughly pushed Nangong aside, and as Xixing got up, Nangong also saw the thin lines like spider webs entrenched around Xixing.

The thin transparent line, if it weren't for the background of Xijing's clothes, it is estimated that it would not have been found at all. Xi Xun's weird and unreasonable behavior just now, is it because of these thin lines?

"Xijing! It should be these...... Line. ”

Nangong tried his best to tear off the thin line in his sight, but unfortunately the hardness of this thing was much greater than he wanted.

“…… Why is it so hard? ”

"It's a puppet, huh, why is she here?"

Xixing swung her knife, the sharp blade easily cutting through several silk threads, but before she could catch her breath, her right hand holding the knife once again disobeyed.

No, rather than not obeying the call, it should be controlled by these silk threads. If that's the case, just keep the threads under control......

"Oh my God, it's really, hard."

There was a pinprick-like pain in the palm of my hand, but now was not the time to check what had hurt. Fortunately, Nangong's guess was not wrong, and sure enough, as long as these lines were affected, Xixun's wrist that was controlled could move freely.

"I say! If there is a wire, you can follow the line...... Found that youkai, right? ”

"Almost! Take care of yourself! ”

Xijing, who successfully cut off the silk thread, did not stop, but left Nangong and chased after the trajectory of the silk thread.

"Puppet, is it a monster chasing and killing Xixun?"

It wasn't until Xixun's figure disappeared from view that Nangong suddenly felt the pain in his palm as if it had doubled.

There were a few blood marks, and it seemed that the action just now had completely embedded the silk threads into the flesh. Although it seems that it should have saved Xixun, it ......

"I've been left behind."

Nangong muttered as he set off to the "Monster Street" where Thousand Faces was located. Because even if it is a spirit mirror, no, it is precisely because the spirit mirror is not there that it is necessary to report the scene just now to Qianmian.

Although Qianmian didn't want to hurt Xixin at all, but the situation of Xixing now seems to be a little bad.

……

At least, there seems to be a youkai that specifically targets the West Watt now, and it seems that it has extremely strange abilities. The thin, almost transparent thread seems to be able to manipulate other people's bodies.

Thinking of this, Nangong ran towards the "Monster Street" with all his might, but just as he was about to reach the entrance, Nangong, who was already exhausted, found a person he didn't want to meet now.

Spirit mirror, and there is a strange woman with her, although judging from Nangong's judgment now, it must be a monster.

Is Lingjing looking up her number plate? The purpose now is to tell Chimian about Xijing, and sure enough, he still walked around......

"Ah, that's right." After seeing Nangong, who was going to sneak around, the spirit mirror, which had always been unsmiling, beckoned to him for the first time.

"Nangong, come over here, it just so happens that you have a job next."

"Work, work?"

Nangong, who was discovered, had to pretend to meet by chance while walking towards the spirit mirror, but fortunately, the spirit mirror didn't seem to see his panic because he was thinking about something.

However, the monster next to the spirit mirror seems to be a little less easy to deal with.

The woman who looked to be in her twenties, obviously in summer, was still tightly wrapped in a long trench coat, and her hair hung down like a waterfall. Judging from the spirit mirror and her actions at this time, it doesn't seem like she is being interrogated by the spirit mirror. Moreover, although he wanted to deny it, Nangong still found something strange.

The gaze of this woman, who was mostly a youkai, stayed on her hand and smiled meaningfully.

The palm of the hand that was cut by pulling the silk thread just now. Staring at the palm of your hand, is it something you like......

"That's right, work."

Lingjing nodded, "I finally got a little bit of Xijing's whereabouts and information just now, and I also successfully captured Xijing's escape route, so I plan to arrest her at night." Before, because I didn't know the identity of her demon knife, it led to failure, but this time I have full preparation and help, so it's foolproof. Therefore, Nangong, you need to do what you can. ”

"Ah...... Ah, I don't have a problem. ”

Nangong nodded, it seemed that the spirit mirror had already learned that Xijing belonged to the machine spirit. However, it's a bit strange that she would find a monster to help.

Moreover, I always feel that this time the spirit mirror not only looks a little excited, but also seems to be full of absolute confidence. Could it be because of the relationship between the monster next to him? If that's the case......

"Well, pretty good boy."

The female monster smiled and stretched out her hand towards Nangong, "If you say so, just call me Kwai Lei." Sunflowers, flower buds, sunflower buds. ”

"Ah, hello."

Out of a polite handshake, and at the moment when the palm of his hand was itchy and painful because of the scar, Nangong's eyes widened.

Because of this female monster, this female monster her name......

Kwai bud...... Puppet?
