"Is this the Seed of the Soul?" Baihui picked up a gem-like colorless crystal from Xuefeng's experimental table, and said curiously, "I didn't expect to be able to see the real thing in reality." ”

If you just look at its appearance, this crystal is no different from an ordinary gemstone, or an ordinary diamond. But Patricks knew very well that this crystal was not a gemstone. Because although this gem-like crystal does not exude a trace of brilliance, it has a strange and charming brilliance, which seems to unconsciously attract the souls of others.

Ordinary humans probably can't tell the difference, and they just think of it as a diamond with special magical powers. However, the current Baihui is no longer human, and even half of his soul is not in his body, but is implanted in the stone mask he has always carried. As a result, Baihui now has a fairly high perception of the soul.

"This is a gem I made based on the materials of Hades to preserve my soul." Xue Feng took the crystal from Baihui's hand, "Baihui, you'd better not touch the soul seed directly. After all, your soul is not as solid as everyone else's. Coming into contact with these soul-related things is prone to accidents. ”

Baihui smiled and watched Xue Feng take away the crystal he was playing with, and said casually: "Xue Feng, you are really a good person." ”

"Good guys?" It seems that I have been said this a lot before, but I always feel that it has been a long time since I was last issued a good person card, and this time is really busy.

"I'm not a good person when I can let thousands of people die at will. Don't think too much about it, I just don't want a rare test subject to break like this. ”

If you want more data, shouldn't you be as unpredictable as possible? Instead of now maintaining himself everywhere, this "rare" test subject. And is he really a "rare" test subject? Xue Feng, who has already come into contact with the realm of the soul as a god, is not difficult to create a few "selves" at all.

The tasks I carried out before were also screened, and at the beginning, those dark side commissions were blocked, and it was not until I could kill people without hindrance that I opened them to myself......

If it hadn't been for Naoba's earlier step, I guess I'd have liked Yukikaze. Like Naoba, this kind of inappropriate tenderness is a bit too cheating.

The care shown by the snow wind in that careless place made Baihui's heart warm.

"However, these souls are for Brother Naoba's friends who died accidentally." Xue Feng obviously didn't want to continue on the topic of whether he was a good person or not, Baihui naturally changed the topic and looked at the table, the ten soul seeds that had already been made, "What kind of expression would Naoba have if he knew that there was a little girl named Yuki who slept in the same bed with her brother for several days?" I'm looking forward to it. ”

It can almost be said that Baihui, who has been living with Xuefeng and the others now, naturally knows very well what is happening in the game. It's just that, because I'm worried about Naoha, Baihui will only reveal a fairly small part, and most of them are reporting to Naoba where Kirito is brushing the blame lightly and happily.

Although he won't really tell Naoba about Yuki, it's obvious that Baihui has been infected by Yukikaze and the others with quite a bad taste. It's like smiling and crying, and bad tastes are contagious. Stay with people who have a lot of bad tastes, and sooner or later you will start playing tricks on others.

"I have already accepted the commission, so I naturally have to keep my promise." Xue Feng waved his hand casually and said, "Moreover, there will probably be a lot of people who will die in the future battles, so it's better to start preparing the resurrection plan now." ”

Chrissy is really not wrong in her evaluation, she is really a guardian who does not cherish herself at all and does her best to protect her family and friends.

Baihui stared at Xue Feng for several seconds, and when Xue Feng began to wonder if he had done something wrong, or if he had said something wrong, Bai Hui turned around and walked towards the teleportation array with a grin: "Well, let it be like this." ”

In the glow of the teleportation array activation, Baihui smiled and left a sentence.

"You've always been a good person, Yukikaze."

“…… Good guys? Maybe. I've watched too much tragedy, and even I, once in a while, still want to be able to watch a comedy of reunion. ”

"Alright, it's time to save the souls of those people. Let's hope they haven't cremated it yet, and if the body is burned, I won't be able to recall the soul now. ”

Xue Feng put away the soul seed on the table and left the stronghold directly.

In the early hours of the morning a day ago, on the eighth floor, there was a nameless town.

Looking at the completely godless Kirito in front of him, he turned around and walked in the direction of the outside world, as if his heart was dead. Xue Feng sighed softly: "Alaala, it seems that what I said is a bit excessive." ”

"However, it is not impossible." Yukikaze said casually to the departing Kirito, "For the sake of Naoba and past friends, I'll help you." ”

Kirito's eyes began to recover after hearing Yukikaze's words, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to begin to pick up.

What if you told him another message of despair? I guess I'm going to die directly, right? But it's also possible that there might be another outcome...... Ah, I suddenly wanted to give it a try.

Well, forget it. This kind of thing is good for yourself, and if you play with the hearts of others, you will suffer retribution, so it's better to tell him directly.

Although the direct resurrection of a person does require the payment of a person's life. But this does not mean that the resurrection of a life only requires one step. ”

Yukikaze raised his finger in front of Kirito's eyes and explained one by one.

"First of all, you have to find and protect the soul of the other person. Second, you need to find a blank body that is compatible with the other person's soul, and of course there is no limit to the type of body. Thirdly, when implanting the soul of the opponent in the body, you must be careful enough, as the slightest mistake will cause damage to both. Finally, you'll need to awaken the other person's consciousness and help them take control of their body. ”

"In general, the last step is not needed. In addition to suicide and souls that have been asleep for too long, when they enter a body that is compatible enough, the other party's consciousness will naturally awaken, and then take control of their own body. ”

"So, although you can't directly resurrect the other party, as long as you are willing to pay enough price, you can still find a way to resurrect those few people in the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe."

“…… So, what is the cost? Kirito's hoarse voice carried a hint of hope.

"Because right now, you're in a game of death, and we've been entrusted with keeping you alive, so you can't afford to pay some of the more serious costs."

Yukikaze frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Kirito.

So, we had to complete the first step, which is the most difficult step, to save each other's souls. If this is only the first step, there is no need to use life as an equivalent. ”

"Still, there's a problem." If Lilian and the others saw Xue Feng's expression now, they would definitely disappear from Xue Feng's vision immediately, because they knew very well that it was a sign of Xue Feng's bad taste, "You want to save Yuki's soul?" Or all the people of the Black Cats on a Moonlit Night? ”

It's just that Kirito, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, obviously didn't notice this, and he also didn't hear the bad taste in Yukikaze's words: "Of course it's everyone!" ”

"Well, be prepared, you're going to pay several times more than if you only kept one. And, while you don't need your life as an equivalent, you still need your ownership as a price. ”

"It doesn't matter, since everyone died because of me, then now that there is a way to resurrect everyone, it is naturally up to me to pay the price."

"Then I'll be honest, the price you need to pay is: after the SAO is cleared, before the end of this life, you will unconditionally become the maid of our watch dragon, and you must obey all our orders that will not endanger your life."

"We, on the other hand, will preserve the souls of all the dead of the Black Cat Troupe on a moonlit night until you find a way to resurrect them."

"Be careful, Kirito, if you leave this game of death, then this commission will automatically expire."

"If you agree to this commission, sign your real name."

With Yukikaze's words, a parchment that was different from the system notification, but knew in the dark that it was a very strong contract appeared in front of Kirito.

At the request of the will of the world, Kirito can be said to be patient After reading this contract, he signed his name directly on this contract: Kiritani and people.

Of course, for some strange things in this contract, Kirito directly ignored the past. After all, now that his attention was completely focused on the things that Xue Feng and the others had to complete, the price he needed to pay was directly ignored.

And Yukikaze's eyes also appeared in front of an almost identical contract, but the conditions that must be completed and the reward after completion, and Kirito's share was swapped with each other.

Since it was a contract generated based on his own words, Xue Feng naturally didn't waste any more energy confirming the contract and directly signed his real name.

What the two of them are now signing is a world contract, with the world as proof, no one can break it, no one can change the regulations, and no one can cheat on this contract. Of course, you can play with the simplest of words, because the world doesn't favor stupid guys.

"The contract is established." After watching the two pieces of parchment turn into ashes, Xue Feng nodded and said with satisfaction, "We took this commission!" ”

Although it is said that the parties do not need to sign the world contract as a guarantee to undertake the entrustment, as long as both parties agree, the entrustment can be recognized by the system. But for the protagonist of this world, Xuefeng thinks it's better to sign a world contract. In this way, if something happens in the future, you don't have to worry.

"Since you have signed the commission, then you should know that even if you don't have our help now, you must not die here, because you are no longer alone."

Kirito, who had regained his brilliance, nodded heavily and walked out of the alley. At this time, the morning light arrived, and a ray of sunlight shone into this alley. Looking at the back facing the sun, Xue Feng smiled and disappeared in place.

"Now, Kirito, you should be able to understand responsibility, trust, and faith now."

"Don't let me down, the hero of the world."
