Chapter 5: Legends
Hunting in the night wind.
The blonde beauty on the building stood quietly in the wind, watching the magnificence under her feet flow slowly under the endless night sky. Neon lights illuminate the luxury of the city, but also hide the clear brilliance of the stars and moon, and the hustle and bustle of traffic spreads to the horizon in the distance.
In the flawless purple eyes like black pearls, it is such a huge city that unbridledly casts changing colors into the sky, bustling and noisy.
"What are you looking at?"
Qing Yue's voice came from behind the blonde beauty, and a tall black-haired boy walked out of the darkness. He had been waiting there with his arms crossed for a while, and now he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." Yakumo Zi turned around and smiled, "It's just a little touching." ”
Feeling?
Mu Xiu walked to the edge of the roof and looked down, only to feel that he was a little dizzy, this kind of height is no longer a problem of falling all over the ground. In such a situation, I wouldn't feel anything standing here, and if I grew up, I guess I wouldn't be able to stand up.
“……”
Looking at Yakumo Zi, who was standing on the edge of the guardrail on the rooftop, stepping on the boundary, as if the whole person would shake down as soon as the wind blew, and he lost his balance and fell, Mu Xiu took two steps back in admiration.
"Huh?" At first, her eyes narrowed in confusion, and then the girl's expression seemed to become quite wonderful, and her sweet smile was full of evil fun.
"Horahora ~ Are you afraid of heights?"
"Of course I'm afraid." Mu Xiu nodded and admitted without the slightest hesitation.
“……”
The monster girl suddenly raised a fan to cover the lower half of her face with an unkind gaze, as if she didn't expect him to admit it so happily, and the ridicule routine she just thought of couldn't be used, so she was inexplicably unhappy.
"Hey, what do you think I'm doing like this, isn't it natural for me to be afraid of high?" Mu Xiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I'm not an inhuman existence like you from the beginning, it's normal to be afraid of heights, once you fall down at such a height, even if you can't die, I can't react instinctively!" ”
"Hey, I'm already able to fly." Yakumo turned her head away.
"What does this have to do with whether or not I can fly, to be exact, I am not a flying skill, at least add a bracket and a "pseudo" to it." Mu Xiu waved his hand, not caring at all about the monster girl who suddenly switched to contempt mode, "This is going to give me a process of adaptation, right?" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his head: "No, no, let's get down to business, I didn't come out to blow the cold wind with you this big night!" ”
“……”
“……”
Yakumo Zi squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Half of our family, do you know how many people have made a lot of efforts, and they are not qualified to go out with me at night to blow a cold breeze?" ”
"I don't know." Still didn't hesitate and didn't have any interest in the second answer.
“……”
The monster girl with an extremely complicated mood now just wants to hit the back of the head of the guy in front of her.
……
……
"In this world, there are no monsters, right?"
The monster girl has a dissatisfied expression on her face, giving people a feeling of being angry.
However, Mu Xiu didn't think so, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It shouldn't be, the ghosts and spirits of this world are the world of spirit bodies, and they are generally non-substantive bodies, usually in the form of semi-solid energy, and they have no physical bodies but have destructive power......
"If I had to say it, it was probably the "monster" of this world." Speaking of this, the young man smiled and held up a finger, "However, that is also a fact that cannot be completely determined. ”
"Oh, how do you say?" Yakumo Zi stood on the guardrail with a smile, bent down and looked down at Mu Xiu condescendingly, but unfortunately she was wearing a long dress with a particularly low exposure.
"Because there will always be something weird, it's not an evil spirit or a monster, for example, there is an elf sealed in Central Park, and from an exotic point of view, it is an angel and a demon."
Mu Xiu pointed in a certain direction and said lightly without squinting.
"And there is a special space that I don't know where it is, and the King Midas in it is said to be one of the "Heroic Spirits" who holds the "Ancient Godhead...... And based on some of the information I have, it's likely that there will be more angels and demon kings in the future......"
It seemed that he was also aroused by some not very good thoughts, and the black-haired and black-eyed boy paused, and looked up and down at the monster girl in front of him. According to the information he has, it is not a "very likely", but there will inevitably be demons and heroes from other worlds who will appear in the future.
As for when, he can't say for sure, maybe in a few days, or months, or years, it's all possible.
The only thing Mu Xiu can do is to keep an eye on Room 201 of "Villa-Rosa Sasazuka" in Sasazuka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, to see when a guy with such a stupid name as "Manoku Sadao" moves in.
That's the day of the arrival of the working demon king.
You must know that guy is a very good part-time worker, he has only been working for half a year and his hourly salary has been promoted to the level of A-level personnel, and he is often selected as the MVP of the month for McDandor's store employees, and then he is also appointed to be the person in charge of a specific period of time......
No, no, it's not this!
Mu Xiu suddenly felt that he might have to see a psychiatrist, why such a troublesome thing, his first reaction was to lean it in the direction of all kinds of nonsensical, unreliable, and boundless joy!
But because of this, considering that any gods and monsters will come out, he invited Yakumo Zi to come to his world. Anyway, the demon king, the brave, and the angel will all appear, and there is no shortage of a big monster.
"I see, is this world so interesting?"
Yakumo chuckled and straightened up slightly.
"Also, there are many speculations about the origin of evil spirits in the current spiritual industry, but none of them can be determined...... I think this is the more reliable one, the Killing Stone, which means that the evil spirit is likely to have been derived from a thousand years ago, and there were monsters at that time-"
Mu Xiu flipped his wrist and directly took out an ominous stone that exuded scarlet brilliance and showed it to Yakumo Zi to see.
However, he also used some means, the surrounding light, microwaves, ultraviolet infrared rays, etc. were controlled by him, and the strongly distorted magnetic field blocked a certain space around him, and the AIM diffusion force field continued to tumble and change in this part of the area, making "certainty" and "indeterminity" confusing each other.
At this time, the observation team in the countermeasure room will definitely not notice any special changes in the aura pressure.
Yakumo Zi looked around consciously, then squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the stone in Mu Xiu's hand, not knowing what he was thinking. A few seconds later, she stretched out her white and tender palm and took the killing stone directly from the palm of the young man's hand.
Mu Xiu was unmoved, and let her take it.
"It's true that it contains the crystallization of soul demonic power, and it's very pure, but there are too many resentments in it, and the soul is no longer the original one......" The monster girl rubbed the stone in her hand and made this judgment.
She is a great monster who is extremely strong, and her own demonic power is also first-class in the original world. Although it's not as pure and advanced as the flower demon in the big flower field over there, it's only slightly inferior, not to mention that she doesn't rely mainly on demon power to eat.
Therefore, Yakumo Zi completely ignored the temptation of the Killing Stone, this thing was not useless to her, but if it was used directly, it would definitely do more harm than good.
But......
The monster girl glanced at Mu Xiu, who had a natural expression, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Na, half of our family, don't you have any idea when you hold this stone?" ”
"Any thoughts?" Mu Xiuqi said.
"Oh, this thing, if used well, can make you- huh, no!"
Yakumo Zi blinked suddenly, and then she jumped down all of a sudden, took a few steps forward and directly picked up Mu Xiu's face with both hands, and looked at the latter at an ambiguous distance of less than ten centimeters, "...... That's when I realized the change in you. ”
“……”
“……”
"What?" Almost instantly, Mu Xiu retreated five or six meters backwards at a speed that he couldn't see clearly, widening the distance.
"Oops, why is there such a big reaction......" Her eyes were full of teasing smiles and bad tastes, but the monster girl didn't continue to do that kind of thing that made people think about it, she just unfolded the folding fan to hide her smile.
"However, half of our family's body, you seem to have changed a little bit, have I slept for so long?"
Knowing that he would definitely not be able to hide it from her, Mu Xiu pursed his lips, knowing that it was because he had changed from a "human" to a "mutant". Although it is not completely mutated into another creature, but only chooses the evolutionary path of a subspecies of a specific family and genus, it is indeed completely different in the strict sense.
But there is no need to say too much about such a thing, so the young man did not explain, but looked elsewhere to change the topic: "No, it must be your delusion, tell me what you found, otherwise I will go back." ”
Although she was still so polite, Yakumo Zi didn't show any anger this time, on the contrary, she seemed to be quite happy.
After looking at Mu Xiu with a smile for a while, the monster girl coughed and said, "This is it." ”
She handed the red killing stone back.
What the? Mu Xiu didn't come to his senses for a while, but the next second he suddenly looked at Yayun Zi's other hand, and the killing stone he took out before looked like ...... Wait, in this case, isn't it what she wants to say to herself, and it's also about the killing stone?
She just went out for a walk yesterday and got back a killing stone?
I'll go! Are you a child of the plane?
"It's interesting, what did you just call it? Killing stones? The monster girl's crooked eyes were full of smiles, "What is its predecessor?" The legendary ones are okay, I need to be sure. ”
Wait, she doesn't know about the Killing Stone?
Mu Xiu didn't have time to speak, he just raised his eyebrows strangely, and then suddenly remembered that the world line over there was still 1,400 years ago.
The plot of "The Tale of Taketori" has not yet begun, and it will not be until the nine-tailed fox is discovered in the secret activities in the palace, and then the legend of Nasuno being retired and becoming a killing stone begins...... I'm afraid it's not at least 500 years away.
You must know that it is still more than 600 years AD, and the legend of the Killing Stone is more than 1,100 AD.
Even if Yakumo often travels to other worlds, if she hadn't happened to meet the parallel world of the earth with the same height of historical background, the time period would not have been exactly after more than 1,100 AD, and she didn't deliberately pay attention to it-
I'm afraid it's normal not to know the legend of the Killing Stone.
