There was a loud bang, and several executioners who were fishing in troubled waters and wanted to kill them were vigorously lifted and slammed into the transparent barrier. Qiu Xuan raised her foot and kicked them a little farther, staring at the situation of the man who fell to the ground.

Normally, the optimal rescue time is four minutes, and now the time shown on the instrument is almost out.

Hurry up.

Thinking like this, she pulled out her Zimu knife, pressed the next cycle, and then got up and stood with Liu Qing.

"Your injuries are not healed yet, don't fight here and leave it to us." Liu Qing supported Qin Jiuyuan with extremely fast movements and unmistakably released arrows, while taking the time to say to her without looking back. Her progress was very fast, and at this time, she stood alone in the back to fill almost all the gaps, and she seemed to be able to take charge on her own, which was much different from when Qiu Xuan first saw her.

Rarely, she spontaneously gave birth to a kind of motherly relief. Thinking about it, if Bai Hexi is here now, even if he doesn't say it, he may have more or less similar thoughts in his heart.

Qiu Xuan glanced kindly at the side, and lifted the blade out of the sheath with his thumb.

The moment the ominous death aura spread from the completely bladed edge, the man who fell to the ground suddenly let out a few coughs. Then, on the sound of the instrument, his heartbeat began to return to normal values.

"That's it!"

Everyone stopped attacking for a moment, and turned their eyes to the man who had fallen to the ground. The thin man coughed for a few moments, and then opened his eyelids only to find that there was strange silence around him. He paused, reached out and tore off the electrode plate on his chest, sat up with a grin to avoid the wounds on his body, and asked, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”

"Tsk, we're a step late, they saved you, they've already won."

Some teammates in the same group as him reacted unwillingly, but there was also nothing to be done, so they had to take a few steps forward to help him up and carry him on his back before leaving. Qiu Xuan's intuition was not good, and when he looked down, sure enough, the score on his wrist was still on the basis of the previous one and had not changed in any way.

“…… Isn't it over yet? Liu Qing leaned over and asked in a whispered voice, and the latter turned to look at the middle-aged ship doctor who was still writing in front of the desk, and the person who didn't care about himself didn't say anything.

"I'm afraid so."

Sighing secretly, Qiu Xuan pursed her lips and put down the instrument in her hand, it is useless, the electrode is disposable, and there is no replacement device, which means that this prop is given for nothing.

"But hasn't the person been saved, what is the problem...... Liu Qing muttered, and then someone in the crowd reacted, and one of the women sneered and said, "It seems that it is smart but it is mistaken by being smart, don't forget, the rules say 'cure a person'." Wouldn't it be too simplistic to have any random person deliberately injured and then treated for the wound? ”

Qiu Xuan said: "I think she is right. ”

Liu Qing glanced at her helplessly, and reached out to take out the bone rongeur he got from his arms. "So what to do now, Eve's props are useless, this one of mine is unreliable at first glance, you ...... By the way, what's in that box? ”

"Mine?" Qiu Xuan snorted, "Mine is not only unreliable, but also unreliable with bells and whistles." ”

She opened the intricately crafted medieval vampire hunting toolbox in front of the two of them, and with Liu Qing's exclamation, she pouted and sat on the ground.

"I just took a general look," Qiu Xuan reached out and pulled the contents of the box a few times, "Don't think about garlic crosses and the like, and the prayer-specific scripture is even more outrageous, the only thing that I don't know what it does now is this-"

She looked at the small vial of clear liquid in the compartment in a glass bottle engraved with intricately carved reliefs, and although it was holy water, she didn't know what kind of messy bat wings it was made of. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the only thing they can count on to match the "treatment" is it.

Just as he wanted to reach out and pick it up, Liu Qing on the side suddenly waved her hand away with a solemn expression, and the overly loud snapping sound from the skin collision made Qin Jiuyuan frown.

"Don't touch it!" Liu Qing stared at the bottle of liquid of unknown material, and his face was a little ugly. "I don't know what the legends about vampires were in your original world, but in my world before, vampires were indeed a real species."

"And those professionals who hunt vampires are called blood hunters. Although they are called so, they are actually a group of extremely superstitious and ignorant people, and the so-called props that can help the villagers expel vampires are actually some things used to cheat money. Even the raw materials used to make the so-called holy water are highly toxic, and they themselves do not know the material, but they use it to deceive the ignorant villagers, and a considerable number of innocent people have died because of accidental contact with the poisonous holy water. ”

The more she came into contact with her, the more Qiu Xuan discovered that the so-called "small worlds" really had seemingly contradictory but related connections everywhere. For example, before she entered a desperate situation, she always thought that the aqua blue planet was the only planet known to have intelligent life. Sometimes she wondered if she, they, including all the people who lived above the aqua blue, were blindfolded in the dark and creating their own civilization.

They can't see civilizations beyond the infinite galaxy, they don't have a comparable reference to create a concept of their own speed of development, and there is no shortage of talented and outstanding scientists and theorists who put forward one hypothetical theory after another, some of which have been proven, and some of which have been denied by the ever-evolving science and technology.

But then what?

They still move in the dark, they are blindfolded, they can't see the unknown beyond their own knowledge that human bodies can't see.

It wasn't until Qiu Xuan was selected as an executioner for various unknown and inexplicable reasons that she met all kinds of people from different planes and different civilizations, and knew that the planet she was on was not the only known human civilization. Some of these "small worlds" have similar cultural histories, while others seem to be completely different but are connected.

She had heard a Sui and Tang allusion blurted out by an executioner from the Interstellar Federation, and she had seen quantum weapons in the hands of the people of a relatively backward constitutional monarchy, and all of this kind of things illustrated......

Plane overlap.

She didn't know if this phenomenon was also acquiesced in by those who were "supreme" dominators, and if so, then what would happen to them, the executioners who were outside the plane, when the time came?

"Distracted again, what do you think?"

Qiu Xuan withdrew from her thoughts, only to realize that her fingers had reached out to the bottle of holy water lying in the box unconsciously. Qin Jiuyuan grabbed her wrist at this time to stop the next move, she calmed down, realized that the danger sense did not sound, raised her eyes and winked at the other party.

Also, it doesn't do much to think about these issues now, you have to work hard to live and live first. Live to see those who are supreme rulers, and then ......

Qiu Xuan's eyelashes covered the deep thoughts in her eyes.

"It's fine." As she said this, she picked up the bottle that even emitted a trace of holy golden light under the projection of the sun, looked at it carefully for a moment, and turned to Liu Qing and said, "You also said just that the blood hunters are set like that in your world, but it is very likely that the props we get now are not in the same system as the vampires you told you." So let's try it first. ”

"But how do you try? Who would drink such a bottle of unknown origin? ”

"Me."

"What...... Afu?! ”

In Liu Qing's panicked expression, Qiu Xuan directly pulled out the cork and poured it into her mouth. She relied on the sense of danger so she could be so unscrupulous, and after swallowing it, she smacked her lips and found that it was the taste of ordinary mineral water, and there was nothing special.

"I'm fine, I just feel like it's just ordinary water, and it's possible that it's also made to fool......"

Halfway through the words, Qiu Xuan suddenly grabbed her throat with her backhand and widened her eyes, Liu Qing was already so anxious that she wanted to find the ship doctor, Qiu Xuan stretched out two fingers with difficulty and grabbed the hem of her clothes, and squeezed out two breath sounds from her nasal cavity with some difficulty.

"I ...... It's okay, really, really......"

She breathed like a fish with her mouth wide open, struggling to breathe in fits and starts, but even so, she still didn't feel any threat or hurt pouring out of the "holy water".

Qiu Xuan closed her eyes and slowed down, only to feel a fireworks that almost burned her down her mouthpiece until it burned down her esophagus to her stomach, and then ignited all the internal organs.

When the flame came to the flower that bloomed in her belly, all of a sudden, it was extinguished again.

She shuddered from that almost esoteric sensation, and tentatively reached out a knuckle to touch the tip of the cross in the box for a moment. A drop of blood dripped from her fingertip onto the cross, and almost instantly, the cross burned, but the flame could not be extinguished.

"What is the reason for this?"

"Purification." Qiu Xuan stared at his fingertips as if muttering, "The function of holy water is to purify, purify...... yes, so why did the cross burn? ”

Probably because the cross has religious connotations, symbolizes faith and protection, and purifies evil by itself...... Burn? Liu Qing tilted his head and guessed.

Qiu Xuan stared at the burning cross and said, "Then where is that 'evil' now?" ”

"This ......"

"I always feel that although I can see at a glance that this is a toolbox for hunting vampires, the actual meaning has little to do with vampires." Qiu Xuan said as she suddenly reached out and opened the prayer book, casually stopping on a page. "I know and all the Father, I will give my life and blood in return, and in return it will be your new life."

She flipped through another paragraph.

"You were born from the waves of the sea, reshaped from the embers of fire, traced back from the winding twists and turns, the thickest and deepest unwillingness and delusion in the depths of your eyes."

"Sacrifice all the tears to stop my jealousy; Sacrifice flesh and blood to me; Sacrifice all the madness, and destroy my death. ”

"I never stopped calling your name, I tried my best but I couldn't touch your heel, my Father. If you are as the all-knowing and all-powerful people say, please send down the true deeds so that your followers can continue to follow your footprints. ”

“……”

Liu Qing: "Is there anything wrong with the prayer?" Except that the rhetoric is a little extreme, isn't it no different from praising the true God in any other sense? ”

"No, there's a difference." Qiu Xuan closed the book in her hand and glanced at the sea outside the window. "The biggest difference is that these people don't believe in gods."

"They believe in evil gods."

She whispered, barely audible. "What they believe in—"

"Entangled Serpent, Leviathan."

The moment her words fell, the calm sea seemed to fluctuate slightly. This subtle fluctuation is not because the change in sea level is so small that it is imperceptible, but on the contrary, it is precisely because the magnitude is so large that it is impossible for the average person to see it. The whole ocean was upside down and black and white, and they could only get a glimpse of the truth when they looked at it from the other level.

"Who do you think of you here who would be a Leviathan?"

"Probably not." Liu Qing said, "Everyone is an executioner who has just arrived on the ship, and there is no need to believe in a god of the original world. ”

"Then in this case, the possibility of a special personal mission is temporarily ruled out, and the only person present at the moment is the most likely person, and he is the only one." Qiu Xuan stared at the crowd, and raised her chin to nod at the middle-aged man sitting at the table. "Only the natives of this world are most likely to believe in Leviathan."

Liu Qing followed the line of sight and raised the bowstring in his hand without saying a word.

Qiu Xuan was pondering something, and was surprised by her action for a moment, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't, how will you go about killing like this?" ”

"I'm not trying to kill him," Liu Qing said, his tone faint and inaudible to any other emotions. "I just want to incapacitate him so that whatever he has to do after that is a lot easier."

"You've really changed a lot." Qiu Xuan sighed, and she didn't know if this change was good or bad, she still reached out and pressed Liu Qing's bowstring, while raising her feet and walking towards the middle-aged ship doctor who was lying in front of the case.

"I'm a little uncomfortable, you can help me take a look." She sat on the table with her arms propped up, looking condescendingly at the ship doctor, who raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, and said, "I said, use the props you got yourself, and cure yourself if you feel uncomfortable." ”

"But I met a man yesterday who told me that if you want to give up suffering completely, you have to really make a choice, and you have to make a choice." Qiu Xuan smiled suddenly.

"The man's name is Leviathan."
