......

In the middle of the night, showers, turning sunny.

When the light of the day dissipates, under the light of the lights, the oil road is covered with layers of crystal clear dew.

Night, slightly cooler.

"Aoba, let's go, hurry up and change your clothes, we're going out tonight. Coming to Aoba's room, Ling Ning pulled up Aoba, who had changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed reading a book: "I'll give you a surprise later~~"

"Rather ......?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll find out in a moment. ”

"Hmm. Although Aoba still had some doubts, she still responded.

Wait a while and wait for Aoba to change into a white dress. As soon as the two of them went out, Ling Ning hugged Aoba in the posture of a princess, she was snickering, lying on Aoba and whispering in her ear: "Hold me tight, the speed will be a little faster later." ”

"Ah, don't be like this......" Li Qingye, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, instinctively wanted to break free, but it was unrealistic for an ordinary person to want to break free from Ling Ning's arms. After struggling weakly for a few moments, Aoba begged for mercy: "Ning...... Put me down, I'll go on my own. ”

"Hold it tight. ”

Ignoring her again, Ning adjusted his posture, and rushed out directly with a flash of his figure. As if the wind was speeding forward, the scenery on both sides of the street suddenly elongated and became a kind of passage made of colored lines...... This was an ordinary scene in Ning's eyes, but Aoba immediately screamed, and the strong air flow hurt her, and she couldn't open her eyes.

The pain in her cheek made her have to pinch Ning's waist hard!

"Okay, okay, I'll slow down. Ning smiled apologetically, slowed down his speed, and turned to a path that was deserted.

Crisp sounds sounded on the empty oil road, and the street lamps fell, bringing a faint and intoxicating halo. Ling Ning started from a very early age, although she was screaming no, her body slowly got used to it. Accustomed to the physical strength of being a zombie, accustomed to the keen perception of being a zombie, accustomed to the infinite strength of being a zombie, and feeling for normal people...... She had forgotten about it.

When she arrived at the Bureau, the guys inside were not normal people, and they wouldn't tell her what normal people would feel......

"Na, Ning, who are you? Only the echo of footsteps remained in the quiet environment, and Aoba curled up in Ning's arms and asked in a low voice, "You...... What the hell is it?"

"Ah, I'm me, in fact, it's nothing, I'm not good at all~"

"Is it a youkai?"

Aoba remembered the book he read a few days ago and asked with great interest. In that book, there are many records of youkai that ordinary people will never know...... But she is not afraid, because the monsters in it are actually not terrible, they have their own feelings, their own persistence, and their own desires...... Besides, Aoba has been with her for a few days, she saved Aoba and lived with her for many days, and even the most terrible youkai became cute in Aoba's eyes.

"Youkai, I'm not that kind of thing!" Ning flatly denied.

Hmph, she's a zombie, so of course she's not happy to be recognized as a monster. Zombies can at least prove that they were humans a long time ago, but if they are monsters...... Ah, these are two concepts that have nothing to do with people.

"What's that?"

"Aoba...... You've become verbose!"

"Can't you say that?"

Lightly crossing the school wall, Ling Ning put Qingye down: "It's here, I'll tell you about those things later." ”

......

"Ning, why are we coming to school at night?"

"Of course, it's to solve your troubles, seeing that you're frowning all day, that thing makes you very unhappy!"

"Ahh

While talking, the two had already arrived at the old playground, and Ning pointed to the eerie and huge sycamore in the night and said, "Could it be ...... Haven't you been bothered by this dryad lately?"

"......" was silent for a while, and Aoba walked towards the sycamore.

She stood under the tree and stroked the smooth trunk of the sycamore with one hand: "Yes, it's for it." ”

She turned around and leaned against the plane tree: "In a few days, this tree will no longer exist." The principal said that he would replace the plane tree, which was no longer saved. It's not to move it to another place, but to cut it down! For it, if it is cut, it will die. ”

She closed her eyes slightly, recalling the dying scene in front of the zebra crossing: "Death is so terrible! When you die, you have nothing, you can't feel anything." Even if someone remembers you at this moment, it won't be long before you will be forgotten, and you will be, and no one will remember you...... When you die, there's nothing left. ”

Secretly making a gesture of victory, Ling Ning walked up to Aoba with a happy smile and rubbed her head: "Peace of mind, peace of mind, I'm very powerful! Since I said that I want to solve your troubles, I will definitely have a way to do it!"

Here I have to say that Xiao Rin's high-pressure teaching is successful, under Rin's oppression, she has read a lot of books even if she is unwilling, although the level of knowledge is not as good as Xiaoli, let alone Xiaoyin, but it is still very easy to deal with this kind of small scene~

In Aoba's surprised and puzzled eyes, Ning pointed to the sycamore behind her and said, "This tree is not simple, if it is calculated according to the level of the monster, it has already crossed the stage of the monster and has become a spirit." ”

"Sycamore?goblin?!"

Aoba was a little startled, although she had already met a very unusual person herself, she still couldn't believe that these creatures outside of common sense were actually around her, and she often came to water her. In her opinion, this thing felt incredible in any case.

"Yes, goblin! More prepared to say the spirit of the plane tree. Nodding, Ning pointed to her shoulder and laughed: "It looks like it likes you very much, and now it is sitting on your shoulder~~"

"No!" Aoba reached out and touched his shoulder, but didn't notice anything.

"What you can't touch, the environment in which people have lived since childhood, the world they know, constitute an invisible but solid and abnormal barrier. According to Rin, this is a cognitive impairment. It's okay for the monsters with physical entities, you can still perceive the changes in the physical level, but you can't recognize the abnormalities in spirit, space, and breath!" Ning raised his head, and the head of the speech was the Tao.

At this time, she deeply felt a sense of satisfaction as a teacher, and seeing Aoba listening carefully and nodding her head from time to time, she finally understood why Rin liked to educate herself so much...... Ahh

"Am I never going to get a chance to see it?"

Aoba hung her head in frustration, a whole new world was in front of her, but she turned a blind eye to it and didn't hear it, it was really not a pleasant experience. What's more...... She also wanted to see the elf who liked her. Carefully calculated, she has been with this sycamore for two years, and even if they have not communicated with each other, he is eager to understand.

Curiosity about the unknown, right

"It's not that there is no way," Ning turned around and looked at her with a slight snicker.

"I wouldn't have been able to succeed if it had been someone else, but if it had Aoba, I think I could. After a mocking pause, Ling Ning continued: "There is a spell called 'Vision Replacement', which can theoretically replace the vision that a person has with another vision mode, allowing people to be released from the barrier of common sense in a short period of time...... Of course, if I do it, the success rate is not high. ”

"Uh-huh???"

"But Aoba should be fine, after all, you already have a little bit of a trait beyond common sense, although it's only a little bit, but after all, isn't it?"

"A trait that is different from common sense??

"Yes, there are some, very weak and weak traces, like demonic energy, but it is purer than ordinary demonic energy. By the way, the nature is a bit like Xiao Li's spiritual power. Ning said as he condensed the magnificent corpse qi that was rarely used in his body, and drew a pitch-black sigil in the air.

This sigil is suspended in the air, and the structure is not complicated.

Only two continuous lines are linked to each other, forming a pair of eyes that look at each other and have very different images.

For example, the opposition of yin and yang indicates the replacement of certain qualities.

"Aoba, close your eyes first. ”

Ning nodded in satisfaction and placed the talisman on Aoba's eyebrows.

"Alright, open your eyes, I think you'll see the world change. ”

When he opened his eyes, the original dark and bright eyes of the green leaves had been replaced by a touch of emerald green.

The verdant green, like the color of life, contains a unique vitality of plants.

Aoba was surprised to find that his vision had undergone some subtle changes, and there was a hazy and dreamy river of light flowing in the originally dim sky, and the small photoelectric rays of endless fibers formed a small stream, slowly merging into this invisible river of light. In some corners of the city, there is still an unknown aura rising, like smoke and fog, more like a glow.

On the moonless night, there was a faint milky white light falling, hazy, and converging on the sycamore behind him.

"It's like a dream, which one is real?" Aoba muttered in a low voice.

"It's all true, but that's my horizon, my reality. ”

Ling Ning smiled and pointed to her shoulder: "Look at your shoulder, there's a little thing in there~"

"That's what it is...... Tree Spirit?" Following Ling Ning's point, Aoba's gaze fell on his left shoulder. On the shoulder, which was originally empty, was leaning on a small figure that radiated a faint emerald green glow. The girl, who was bigger than her own palm and looked about eight or nine years old, was sitting on her shoulder, her little hands tugging at her hair and leaning against her neck.

"Hello..."

After discovering that the girl's eyes were focused on her for the first time, the tree elf raised his head slightly and whispered.

The night was empty, because the rain in the middle of the night seemed a little cold.

The soft voice was so weak, like her body.

Delicate, delicate, delicate...... It makes people feel a kind of pity from the bottom of their hearts.

Aoba's pity is not noble, only out of pity for the destruction of the things he loves.

A very delicate elf, the aura around her has long since dimmed.

"Ning, is this little guy's lifespan really coming to an end?"

"No, this little thing isn't small, maybe she was in this school before you were born, watching generations walk in and watch generations leave...... A hundred years of wood, the sun and the moon, can give birth to elves. Ten years, an inch of inspiration, white, pregnant and vigorous. A hundred years, a thousand years of inspiration, color and green, the main vitality. For thousands of years, the spirit is shining, like a green star. Ten thousand years, the tree is not a tree, it can be described as a green wood god. ”

"It doesn't matter, I just want to know her current situation now. Aoba's fingers gently poked at the dryad's cheek, but she found that the dryad only frowned unhappily and did not resist: "No spirit." ”

“...... It's nice to meet someone who can see you. Looking at the two of them, the dryad muttered quietly.

Once upon a time, in the ancient forests, youkai such as Dryads were not too rare. But in recent years, the number of dryads has decreased significantly, and she has never seen anything like it in the city...... No, don't say it's the same kind, not even other kinds of youkai have never seen it.

There are no people who can see themselves.

People who can communicate with them, no.

Maybe it's because it's so inconspicuous, and there are a lot of youkai in the city that no one notices her existence.

......

"Alright, alright, I'll figure it out. ”

Ning waved his hand, very confident.

yes, if she didn't have faith, she wouldn't have nothing to do and run out on such a wet night.

She walked to the plane tree under the incomprehensible gaze of Aoba and the tree spirit, she stretched out her hand, and the entanglement in her originally slightly pale hand began to gush out a dark and gloomy aura, which was an infinitely huge corpse qi in her body, which she didn't use often, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't use it. It can't be used. From a certain point of view, as a second-generation Ning, he is never weak!

Those gloomy auras began to construct an extremely complex rune with a central point as the axis.

Countless gloomy, exuding a strong aura of death to build a tree trunk-like talisman seal, the trunk, divided into one large, two small, three branches. The three secondary stems are even more spread out with countless branches. Like a life array, the death intent on one branch is condensed, and gradually flows to the other end through the main rod, giving birth to a little milky white in the other end.

More dark aura flowed out of Ning's hand, and after the transformation of the talisman seal, the soft light became more and more brilliant.

This symbol is named: Little Tree of Life.

———This is a three-dimensional sigil structure created by Rin with reference to the life tree theory in the Kabbalah Sect, and she is quite skilled in using it as soon as possible, but it is enough to construct this small sigil. As for the [Tree of Life], which is more advanced and comparable to the Great Talisman Seal, she has not yet mastered it.

"Ah, sure enough, it's still not as good as that baby face. If it were her, there would be no need to be so troublesome at all, no matter what form of power it was, it would be a floating cloud for her, and there would be no need for the transformation of the talisman seal at all. ”

Dispersing the talismans, Ning picked up one of the milky white crystals that contained infinite vitality and some emerald colors. She made a hole in the sycamore's trunk and shoved the milky crystals inside.

"Wait, let me get that guy out. ”

Turning around and beckoning behind him, Ning turned around.

A while...... About a quarter of an hour later.

"Ning, how long will it take?"

"Soon!"

"It's coming!" Suddenly, Ning shouted, and the milky white crystal quickly surrounded by an earthy yellow liquid substance.

Ning pulled it out at once, and the originally milky white crystal suddenly turned black, turning into a corpse aura with strong death intent again!

"Ning, what is this?"

"Mi Ying!" Ning looked at the earthy yellow liquid that kept surging in the black crystal, and said: "There is a record in the "Qinting Secret Scene Collection": Mi Ying, born in the leyline, looks like a demon, but not a demon. Ingesting vitality, after thousands of years into a stream of earth, ten thousand years into stones, into a spiritual land. ”

"How can I say it......" She scratched her head with some distress: "In short, this kind of thing is not easy for me to classify, it is not a monster, it is not conscious, but it has its own instinctive tendency." And it's not a bad thing, after 10,000 years, it can make a barren and dry place rich in land, abundant in products, and give birth to a living being. ”

"It's taking my life?" After Mi Ying left the sycamore tree, a slightly more energetic dryad flew over Aoba's shoulder, and she circled the dark crystal twice, as if to sigh.

"Yes, this kind of thing, although it has no malice, will approach any living plant or animal, and ingest life in a unique way. 'Misfortune at the wrong time, the wrong thing'...... Don't look at me like that, that's not what I said, it was the babyface who said it. Speaking of Rin, Ning, who was originally cheerful, suddenly calmed down.

"Ning, what's wrong?"

"It's fine. ”

"Hmm... Is it okay to leave this like this?"

"It's okay, there's no life in me. Lost in his mind, Ning said casually.

"There's no life!?"

"No, it's nothing...... Ning hurriedly waved her hand and stuffed another milky white crystal the size of a tree spirit's fist into her mouth!: "Woo, woo wow~~ What are you doing!! stupid, you can't get in! It's too big!!"

"Hehe, hurry up and open your mouth wide, if you eat this, you can replenish the vitality you lost. Hey hey ......"

"......" Aoba looked a little frightened, and took two steps back!

......
