The world was originally quiet and peaceful, and the young man's breath fell with the wind, almost having the meaning of clarity as the book said, Gu Xiaobei was awakened by a loud cry, and his eyes opened.

He had been sitting cross-legged on the wooden stake in the dojo when he suddenly opened his eyes. There was one more person in the open space, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be Yin Xue, Lu Youqi's waiter.

Otoyuki stood there and raised the pitch-black burning stick, the moment the wind blew the leaves fell, the burning stick was cut off, and the scarecrow's left arm was cut off and fell to the ground.

Graceful, like a genre master, and a woman.

This knife fell as if it had cut off the wind in the air. Although the move is too simple to be true, how much energy is gathered to reach this realm? Cut the wood with a heavy burning stick.

Could this be the high-level masters of a certain genre? Gu Xiaobei had seen the recorded videos of the martial arts conference, and those masters were able to accurately split objects, and the cutting surfaces were as neat as a mirror.

"Miss Otoyuki, you and him shouldn't be in the same genre, right?" he asked

Yin Xue nodded and made a finished knife closing pose.

"Curious...... This is a Japanese-style building, or is it Miss Otoyuki's identity, there are some Japanese pictures in the corridor, and those knives. ”

"What do you want to say?" she spoke, her inky eyes looking at Gu Xiaobei.

"Unlike the knives made by the academy, those knives are pure and not mixed with machinery. I've never seen a texture that looks so good...... You're all from Japan, right?"

"Doesn't it look like it?" Otoyuki asked rhetorically.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about ...... Mr. Lu Youqi. ”

"He's not, but he's lived there for a while. ”

"Is that so......"

"None of this has anything to do with you, you just have to be yourself. Yin Xue left, this was a rare conversation between her and Gu Xiaobei.

More often than not, she appears in a quiet manner.

Gu Xiaobei watched her leave, didn't speak, picked up the burning stick on the ground, and threw himself into today's training.

This set of knife techniques requires the corresponding breathing rate to use, and Lu Youqi will let him soak his head in the water tank every day for apnea training. The breath is long and deep with a knife, and when it is slashed with one sword, it cannot be exhausted, but it must be recycled to the next slash.

Like the flow of water, it grows endlessly.

But how could Gu Xiaobei comprehend so much, after listening to a lot of explanations, he just practiced by feeling. It is extremely difficult to operate even if you grasp the complicated truth, so it is better to devote more time to training and find the feeling.

The sound of burning sticks striking stakes on stakes rang out again in the dojo.

Lu Youqi bit the grass root and leaned against the wall pillar, squinting his eyes and looking at it thoughtfully.

Yin Xue suddenly appeared beside him.

"I haven't practiced for a long time, so I went up and tried it today. ”

"How does it feel?

"I won't touch them again, I said. ”

"Don't be so sure, who would have thought what would happen next? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Looking at him, I thought of myself back then, many years ago...... I didn't use a knife at the time. ”

"I remember ......"

"I really miss it, I never thought that I had reached this age, but time seems to be stuck in that year, the year when the wind and snow were flying. ”

"But I don't miss it at all, it's a heavy past for me and you...... Isn't it?"

"Really? For me, every corner of the world can be inhabited and inhabited, and I am a person without roots. Just like the fallen leaves in this yard, they can be blown to any corner by the wind, melted in the dirt, and then take root. No one knows where the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots. But you're different. He gently stroked the untied hair on Yinxue's forehead.

"I understand...... The reason why you made this place exactly like home, and still wearing old clothes, is all for me. ”

"You don't say it, but I can see that no one can forget the old home. ”

"But it's a sad place after all. ”

"Don't you want to go back and see? Old things, old people, let it pass, and we will come back as outsiders. ”

"You've been thinking that for a long time, haven't you?" she looked up, her eyes met.

It's so beautiful, just like when she first saw him that year, she can still see those beautiful scenery in her eyes after so many years.

"I just think I'm going to wronged you by staying here. ”

"But I don't think so. ”

"So what?" he put his hand on Miss Otoyuki's cheek, and the rising temperature made the atmosphere thicker.

It was so quiet, the squeak of no one moving on the floor, Miss Otoyuki's cheeks turned red, and her eyes were so affectionate that they could almost melt into water.

The two only had each other in their eyes, and there was silence in their ears, and at the moment when they were almost about to kiss, an inopportune voice sounded.

"Ahem...... That one...... Someone from the academy is coming. Gu Xiaobei was really embarrassed, breaking the atmosphere that should have been romantic.

But he couldn't help it, who could have known that a certain senior member of the academy had visited the house at this point.

Miss Yin Xue turned her head and walked towards the rear angrily, Gu Xiaobei had never seen her so angry. And Lu Youqi smiled at him heartlessly.

Gu Xiaobei, a person from the academy, has also seen it.

One day during the entrance test, he and Professor Shepherd invited Gu Xiaobei to meet in a coffee shop. Even after so much time, Gu Xiaobei can still think of the middle-aged man who broke in in a hurry and held a briefcase.

There is a silver-painted AE86 parked at the entrance of the dojo, and the old discontinued models can still be seen here.

The two discussed in the main room, and Gu Xiaobei continued to meditate in the dojo, adjusting his breathing. Since coming to Gusuri, any mystical secret art may be real.

After all, even the mythical monstrous beasts have forged their own palaces in the East China Sea, what else is impossible?

"Mr. Lu, I believe you already understand my intention, right?" Minagawa handed over a dark gold mission report from the previous one, and clenched it tightly with his other hand.

"What is this?" Lu Youqi glanced at.

In fact, he knew what the color symbolized, but he still didn't know what it was.

"As I'm sure you understand, the message here is about the cascading explosions that took place in the Sea of Japan eleven years ago. Minagawa pushed his eyes.

Lu Youqi squinted his eyes and did not speak.

"The reason why this S-class investigation commission failed was because it was attacked by an unknown ghost, can you imagine that number of A-class spirits appearing around the academy's hull at the same time......? His voice was very excited, and even alarmed Gu Xiaobei, who was cultivating outside.

"I know...... As a member of this group, I am also deeply saddened. Every Wican has a mission to kill all the beasts in the world, even at the cost of their lives. ”

"Mr. Lu, do you know why I came to you?"

"Oh?"

"I'm Japanese, and of course, I don't know Miss Otoyuki, and I don't know you. Eleven years ago, I worked in the Japanese branch of Gusuri. He paused, adjusting his breathing.

"At the time of that explosion...... I was there. ”

"What an explosion. Lu Youqi's eyes were full of murderous intent in an instant, like a sharp blade piercing the void.

"About the blood of the phoenix, the ultimate power of nirvana rebirth. Frankly...... It was only later that I found out that this incident was actually due to the existence of such an item. Eleven years ago, in the Pacific Ocean between Tokyo and Osaka, on the border between Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, a volcano under a strange sea erupted a red glow. The flames shone brighter than the sun, as if they contained a fire capable of concomitating everything, and the mere afterglow set the forests of the nearby coast ablaze......"

"That's enough! I know. Lu Youqi scolded, under the description of Minagawa Ichi, he seemed to have returned to the time of the year.

"I apologize here if it has caused you discomfort. Mr. Lu, my teacher, that is, Professor Shepherd, the person in charge of this S-Class investigation, did not disappear as stated in the mission. ”

"He fled to Japan?"

"That's right, he's communicating two things to me in a way that only we know. ”

"What?"

"The ghosts this time seem to be the same group of people as back then, and second, there seems to be a force on the side of the fierce beasts in the academy. ”
