Aono glanced down.

Both sharp and sturdy are well understood.

Some weapons, such as the Japanese katana, may have a sharpness of 80, but on the other hand, the sturdiness may only be at the level of 50.

In general, sharp and sturdy, often do not have a good balance.

But in the world of the transcendent, anything is possible.

Not to mention, it's an extremely mysterious blood-colored backbone.

It is not worth mentioning that it has such characteristics.

In addition to the very practical quality of "variety", what attracted Aono's attention the most was actually the two words in the last line -

It's a pity that no explanation is given behind this, only the two big words "unknown" that are bright and flashing, indicating that this is what Qingye can't explore at present.

But even so, Aono can still guess some information from this word.

For example, the unknown spine itself may be a key?

As for which gate this key will open, and where it will lead after that gate, this is what Aono can't guess for the time being.

Compared to these, Aono cares more about......

“...... Ink dyeing? ”

In the black fog in front of Aono, a petite girl with no hair in her body walked out of the darkness and came to Aono's side.

And her appearance is exactly the same as Kanda Yukie!

Under normal circumstances, Aono would have thought of her as some kind of humanoid monster that emerged from "pure darkness".

It's just that......

In her, there is a very familiar and intimate feeling.

There can't be a mistake, this existence that transforms into a girl's form is black fog ink.

"Master!"

Ink-stained eyes stared at Aono and shouted crisply.

At this time, when I heard it, her voice was still a little different from Kanda Yukie, obviously more crisp and more immature.

It's not like such a big girl, but a small girl or something.

But then again, it doesn't seem like a surprise to spit out such a voice from a mouth like Kanda Yukie's appearance?

"Huh? Don't you like it? ”

Mo Dye thought for a moment, and lowered his little head to think seriously.

"I see! The host must have preferred ......"

A pitch-black mist erupted from her ink-stained body, spreading around her.

Immediately afterwards, a white, tender, and brittle lotus root arm stretched out from the black mist.

Aono once again saw some familiar impressions in the curves of this arm, and his expression quickly became more strange.

Sure enough, the next woman who came out of the black fog had a mature and sexy figure, a little more fat and a little less thin, which was really a benefit, and that face Qingye was also very familiar, especially the beauty mole in the corner of his eye, which was exactly the same as he remembered.

Isn't this exactly the appearance of Tomie, or Amamiya Rei?

To Aono's surprise, not only the facial features, but also the size in front of him were the same as he remembered.

"Because...... All the people I've come into contact with, I can change~"

Ink Dye realized that it didn't seem to make the owner happy to become this kind of appearance.

So like a child who has done something wrong, he said timidly.

"Is there something wrong with the ink dyeing? Or do you prefer the biggest ......?"

As he spoke, the shape of the ink dyed changed again, and his face began to change to Kinoshita Kiyomi's appearance.

"Stop...... Stop! “

Aono could only quickly speak, and if this trend continued, Mo Dye might have to change all the women he had seen before he would give up.

"Master, did I do something wrong?"

Ink Dye stared at Aono with big watery eyes.

Obviously staring at Tomie's bewitching face, but when Mo Dye said this, it didn't make people have evil thoughts, and he looked immature and innocent.

Having said that, if ink dyeing is judged by human standards, the mental age is indeed not much different from that of a girl who has just entered elementary school.

'How did you become an old father for some reason......

Aono was speechless for a while, but patiently explained to Ink Ran.

"I don't need you to be like someone else, especially not to wear nothing."

"Huh? But that's what I heard on the road? ”

"People on the road?"

Aono was slightly surprised, but soon realized that Ink Dye was not talking about the darkness around her, but about the path Aono had traveled through the world while she was sleeping.

"What did you hear......

If you think about it seriously, it is probably that all kinds of information that Aono came into contact with when he carried the black fog would be received intentionally or unintentionally by the ink dyeing when he was dormant, so there were a lot of embarrassing troubles.

It's just that, compared to the environment they are in now, these things are not even trouble, they can only be said to be a small adjustment in the crisis.

In a rough way, Aono taught the ink dye to change into a new look, and to simulate the kind of clothes!

A moment later, a brand new girl appeared by Aono's side.

Her appearance is at least about 30 - that is, close to the extraordinary level.

Ice muscles and jade bones, petite and exquisite.

The black hair was like a waterfall, dragging directly to the ground, and if you looked closely, you could see that the part that came into contact with the ground was completely blurred, and it was not a physical hair at all.

Anyone who sees it has to praise "What a pretty and lovely person!" ”

The only flaw is probably her height, which is only close to one meter four - shorter than Kanda Yukie!

This wasn't Aono's request, but Ink Dye took the initiative to do it.

Maybe it's in her mind, Aono's XP is more of a Lori body type?

- In fact, on the contrary, Aono has always believed that the big bear and big ass are the romance of men!

In reality, who really likes a tablet girl who doesn't even have meat?

The appearance of ink dyeing can be regarded as a collection of the advantages of various women who Aono knows, and then neutralizes it with her own preferences.

However, Aono had a subtle association, no matter how the two of them looked, they were like a father and daughter, but they didn't know who their mother was.

Putting aside the distractions in his heart, Aono opened the notebook in his hand.

This is something that Yuki Hino left to Aono very early.

It was about the same day after the two met, and stated that they could not open it until he disappeared or died.

- As a person who can foresee countless possibilities in the future, how could Hino not see such possibilities.

Hino knew from the beginning that countless accidents would inevitably happen along the way.

He is already weak, and the probability of surviving must be very low.

This notebook is the second-hand preparation made by Yuki Hino.

What is recorded here is the various futures that Hino sees, as well as some key points that need to be recorded.

The handwriting on it was sloppy, and there were plenty of alteration marks, large swaths of paper on the paper, and some of them resembled sweat stains after they had dried up.

Just looking at this notebook, Aono can imagine that Hino Yuki, who is in a state of lockdown, has used his life to predict the future again and again, and for this reason he is drenched in cold sweat and pale, but he still stubbornly records those contents, and looks for the future that is most likely to avoid the end of the world.

Aono left those emotions behind him, and at a very fast speed, he scanned the entire notebook with the naked eye.

With the function of his naked eye camera, it is not difficult to memorize them all and store them in the memory palace of the brain.

"This town is really terrifyingly big......"

Aono muttered.

He had been walking in here for more than half a day, but there was no sign of reaching the edge - according to the normal size of Stone Town, with the strength of Aono's feet, it was no problem to cross a dozen round-trips.

The note reads like this—

This was one of the original characteristics of the Lost Mist, but it was undoubtedly enhanced again after the mutation.

This also means that Aono's memory of the internal distribution map of Stone Town has lost most of its value.

This inference preceded several smeared marks.

Obviously, Hino Yuki also came to such a conclusion after seeing the future many times.

After memorizing the contents of the notebook, I walked forward for a while.

Aono's afterglow suddenly caught a glimpse of something that seemed to be in a crack in the darkness.

The crack seemed to emerge out of thin air.

It has a faint red glow on it, which stands out in the "pure darkness".

But at this glance, Aono couldn't help but take a step, wanting to go to the side of the crack, he wanted to touch the crack.

It felt like there was no reason, but it was as clear as Aono's heartbeat, strong and powerful.

It's as if if you touch a crack, something special, special, and good happens.

Like a poor and crazy gold digger seeing a golden gold, or like an alcoholic drunkard seeing a full glass of wine—oh no, that's not enough to describe Aono's impulsiveness, it's more like a hungry addict getting a D product.

Aono's body couldn't resist.

There was also a moment of doubt and vigilance in his heart, but in an instant he was overwhelmed by overwhelming impulses.

Even it didn't work, but the mental calmness couldn't resist the instinctive desire of every cell in the body.

"Master?"

"Master!"

At first, she didn't notice anything unusual, she just thought there was something worth Aono care about, but she soon felt that something was wrong.

She didn't see the crack, but from that direction, she felt an extreme danger.

So, Ink Dye did what she thought was extremely bold - she grabbed Aono's arm directly and prevented him from moving forward.

Touched by an external force, Aono's thoughts returned to normal at once.

And quickly found a description of the crack in what he had seen earlier, and his pale face moved quickly in the other direction with the ink dye, until he finally stopped after confirming that he was far enough away from the crack.

"The host...... What is that? ”

It was rare for Ink Dye to see such an ugly look on Aono's face, and while he felt incredible, he also became curious and afraid of that thing.

What is it that makes the owner so jealous?

Aono breathed a sigh of relief and took a lucky look at the ink dye.

Although this little girl is not a normal human being, she obviously has her own consciousness.

The only person who was affected just now was Aono himself.

Otherwise......

It's hard for Aono to imagine what kind of experience he will have.

If it is an enemy, such as a black goat cub, it needs to be judged by reason, and it will be constantly sucked away from various attributes.

Aono still has a way to deal with it no matter what, at least it can make the other party pay a lot of price.

However, at the moment, this strange thing is completely unreasonable, or inexplicable.

No matter how strong your strength and physique are, you can't hit something that doesn't have a substance!

He is not so much a crack in the darkness as it is more likely to come from a projection of some higher-dimensional universe cast on a three-dimensional universe.

"Thank you."

Aono said to Ink Dye.

"Huh?"

The ink dye is stupid, and it is clear that he still hasn't figured out the situation just now.

But when I heard the compliment from the master, I smiled all of a sudden, touched her little head, and said a little embarrassed.

"I'm really still very capable!"

Aono raised his guard again.

He now thinks there is a good sentence in his notes.

Below, there is Yuki Hino's own answer.

"That's a ......"

Aono exhaled, and only then did he notice that his fingers were still trembling slightly.

'Am I scared?' ’

Aono asked himself.

'No ......'

It's not like that. ’

The corners of Aono's mouth were slightly hooked upward, and a look on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Just thinking about it makes me ......

I was so excited that I laughed! ’

In fact, after entering the Lost Land from Aoye, he had this feeling - a certain agitation factor in his body, eager to try, thirsting for more intense stimulation.

Compared to the last time I entered, the frequency of all kinds of weirdness and the degree of danger in the entire Lost Land have increased significantly.

The air seemed to be tainted with a kind of uneasiness and restlessness that belonged to the weird.

It heralds that some kind of great change will start here.

I don't know.

In essence, Aono is the same as those weird, and he is an existence that pursues chaos and excitement, right?
