In terms of speed and speed, the threat of force is always more effective than gentle words.

After showing the decisive gap in strength between the two sides, under the trembling eyes of the villagers, Rorschach and his party easily entered the village without any hindrance.

It's just that this mountain village itself is deserted and has few people, and it is not a necessary place for transportation, and there are only some business trips with fixed routes that occasionally pass through throughout the year, so there is no hotel inn for overnight stays. However, under the pressure of Rorschach's golden bullet offensive and semi-force, the village chief immediately gave up his residence and let the adventurer temporarily move into the only two-story mansion in the village.

After the team chose their own rooms, some newcomers volunteered to go out and exchange information with the villagers. Rorschach didn't refuse, just handed him some golden beans as capital, and then sat peacefully in the hall on the first floor, quietly waiting for the results, while taking out a book and reading it carefully.

And Ji Qing on the side happened to come out of the downstairs, suddenly caught a glimpse of this scene, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "What are you reading, story comics?" ”

She glanced sideways, only to find that the contents were all strange subtle characters, similar to the English alphabet, but intricately numerous, and the delicately bound illustrations on the title page were even more eerie, full of realistic films such as human bones and skeletons, which overlapped outward, as if they had been peeled off from real people and then shrunk and pasted, and the whole book was filled with an eerie feeling.

Rorschach closed the book and replied, "Some necromancy books only, from the first two missions. I accidentally killed a witch from the Scourge, and I found some cultivation materials from the corpse, but these things are not strengthened anyway, and it only costs a few dozen survival points to bring them out of the world, so I stayed. ”

Ji Qing was slightly stunned and asked, "I remember that you already have a small universe, isn't it good to specialize in one vein, why do you learn these messy things?" ”

Rorschach shook his head, but didn't want to explain too much.

It is true that his small universe that is close to fifty times the perfection is extremely sharp. An empty hand is enough to throw a punch twice the speed of sound. Ten times faster than any Sunflower Treasure Book, plus some advanced golden combat skills, even if you face some silver-level enemies, you can guarantee that you can escape with your whole body at the worst. It's just this ability. In his hands, there is no room for development in a short period of time. I tended to reach the limit.

After all, the small universe that Rorschach cultivated. It is not the thousand-year-old orthodox inheritance of the human race in the Holy Realm, but the power of the underworld fighter forcibly cultivated by following the crooked and evil path. And the reason why he practiced this kung fu was not because he was talented. It is completely dependent on the rapid improvement of the integration of foreign objects, and the foundation is solid, not even necessarily as strong as the original bronze five small strong, although it is brave and diligent in a short period of time, but after reaching a certain level, it is unable to continue because of the lack of some keys, and it is almost impossible to expand further.

This problem has been vaguely noticed since the last mission world, after Rorschach absorbed the thirteen-headed dragon souls in one go. At that time, he just thought that because of the impurity of his power, he could make up for the troubles as long as he spent time refining, but when he came back to Infinite Space and consulted some masters of the Saint Seiya series, he realized that this was not the case at all.

The real reason is that he doesn't have a matching robe.

And the strength of the Hades Fighter, when it is raised to a certain level, must be combined with the Hades to break through.

It turns out that unlike the Saint Seiya who inherits the eighty-eight constellations, the system of the Pluto Fighter is only divided into "One Hundred and Eight Demon Stars", that is to say, one star only represents one Pluto Fighter, so their star fate point is not like the Saint Seiya all over the body, only one point is located in the heart. And the reason why these Saint Seiya fighters with a single strength can compete with dozens of stars as the source is that in addition to the small cosmic source from the Demon Star, they themselves correspond to a fierce demonic beast of ancient mythology.

Just as the "Celestial Fierce Star" corresponds to a bipedal wyvern in ancient legends, the "Celestial Male Star" corresponds to the Garuda Divine Bird in Hindu mythology. One hundred and eight mythical monsters with unique origins, each of which symbolizes a pluto fighter, is reflected in the depths of their souls, combined with their will, and turned into a source of style, temperament, mood and tricks, which corresponds to the eighty-eight mythical images taken by the saint seiya from the constellations in the sky.

And the only problem is that these one hundred and eight demonic beasts are not randomly selected, let alone from the sky and stars themselves, but from the one hundred and eight pieces of dark clothes created by Hades King Hades himself to supplement the defects of his combat power. Because of this, the Pluto fighters absorb the stars of the sky at the source, and the mythical will in the Hades Cloak is integrated into the tricks, and when the two are superimposed, they can exert a power that is not inferior to the Holy Seiya of the Holy Realm.

However, this is definitely not good news for Rorschach. Because no matter how powerful the "Frozen Throne Fragment" from the Lich King is, it is obviously impossible to compare to the exclusive weapons created by the gods themselves, even if it can quickly accumulate power instead of the source of the stars in the early stage, but no matter how magical it is, it is impossible to conjure the spiritual projection of a powerful demonic beast out of thin air. And in the case of not being able to integrate into the spirit of mythology, the small universe of the Pluto Fighter is also like the rootless wood and sourceless water, no matter how much Rorschach purifies his cultivation, it is impossible to break through the limit of the silver small universe and take the most critical step towards gold.

Of course, this is not without a solution, as long as Rorschach gets a genuine underworld garment and spends some time incorporating the mythical will contained in it, it will be able to make up for the defects in no time. However, the problem is that even in the infinite space, the Saint Seiya series with the reincarnation of gods is definitely a high-level world of medium to upper difficulty, and the adventurers who can enter are not good enough to be silver, and most of them are simply above gold. The evaluation of the one hundred and eight underworld fighters is generally hovering at the peak of silver and the bottom line of gold, and weaker adventurers can't beat it at all, and if they win, they will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and they will be chased and killed by the forces of the underworld one after another; As for the stronger ones who are not afraid of future troubles, even if they are killed, they will rarely get rewards due to the evaluation gap, and even if they are lucky enough to draw out this treasure, most of them will collect it by themselves, and they are too lazy to trade it to lower-level adventurers.

All these factors are combined. There were almost no rumors of this type of treasure on the market, and when Rorschach learned about this situation, he had little hope.

As for the second method, it is to create a very exclusive vestment of your own. It's just that although Rorschach has practiced with Xuan Bing in his dream for five years, he only learns pure killing combat methods, just like a gunner, no matter how much he loves the gun, he can skillfully disassemble and reassemble it at most, and the difference is only a few seconds of time, but he will never know the source of the construction of the gun in his hand, Rorschach neither knows the relevant abilities of casting, nor does he know the construction drawings of the underworld. this program. For him, it was still a distant dream.

But people can't always die on the same road, especially in this infinite space where dangers are constantly in danger, and the stagnation of strength is almost equivalent to being directly sentenced to death. Not to mention Rorschach's Pluto Warrior Practice. At the beginning, it was a reluctant choice that was forced to be. It's just that it was used too easily later. He was reluctant to give up for a while, and since he couldn't bring any benefits now, he had no choice but to make a decision. I'm trying to figure it out from somewhere else.

Rorschach's other two abilities, one is the mutant "Laser Eye" in "X-Men", but superpowers, which are innately given, have almost no possibility of being improved; So after thinking about it, he could only go back to the original path - "psychic power". Anyway, this power has infinite potential, reaching the extreme, it can fuse the will of the planet and incarnate a god who transcends everything, and it can even touch the bypass, bringing the amazing talent of practicing netherworld spells, the reason why he rarely uses this ability is just because the level is too low, and he lacks a powerful and easy-to-use holding spirit, and now this chaotic world of demons and chaotic times, I believe that there will be no shortage of souls of the strong.

The reason why I didn't tell Ji Qing was not because I was afraid of arousing suspicion, but because I didn't want the other team members to worry.

Before the two could talk further, there was a sudden "bang" outside the door, but it was a newcomer who was investigating the intelligence and came back.

"How's it going?" Rorschach avoided the topic and turned his head to ask.

The newcomer is a young male in the Cosplayer trio. Although the cosplay character is Zhao Yun, it is not a version of the Three Kingdoms series, but a spearman skin in a popular game nowadays, and even the name has a "Zhao" word, the full name is Zhao Mengqi, and his personality is quite cheerful, and he is not like other newcomers along the way who have obvious estrangement and fear, and he is very familiar with his style.

The newcomer with a black ponytail said: "The villagers here don't know much, only that the name of the place here is 'Omi', and the whole village belongs to the territory of the 'Oda-kei' clan, but because of the barrenness and lack of attention, basically no one has even come to collect taxes in recent years." The busiest place in the neighborhood is the Edo area, which if I'm not mistaken, seems to be the central part of Japan. ”

"It seems that you have collected information very carefully," Rorschach raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise, "So have you collected any other information?" ”

Of course, this newcomer knew what Rorschach meant, nodded, and continued: "Although there is a small shrine in this village, it is actually just the sustenance of the faith of the local villagers. So although there are some rumors circulating, there is no such thing as a transcendent mystical ability. ”

"Scraping together money to find a demon slayer? In other words, do they have a way to find decent forces? After hearing this, Ji Qing on the side couldn't help but ask.

However, the newcomer immediately poured cold water on her and replied, "They don't know the specific method, they just report the information, and then pool the money to ask the lord to find another way to help." If we want to know the relevant information, I'm afraid we will have to go to the Kei Oda family a hundred miles away. ”

After Zhao Mengqi finished saying this, he suddenly scratched his head and said a little strangely: "However, when I asked here, those villagers seemed to be a little emotional, as if they had invited a demon exterminator not long ago, but before I could ask for a specific result, that person would no longer answer." And there's one more thing that I think is a little abnormal. ”

"Oh? What's up? Rorschach became interested and couldn't help asking.

"Uh...... Captain, have you noticed," Zhao Mengyi's face flushed, and he said with some embarrassment: "There don't seem to be women in this village. I mean, from a little girl of seven or eight years old, to an aunt and grandmother of fifty or sixty years old, I didn't pay attention to it, but I didn't react until I saw an uncle in his forties doing laundry and making food. ”

"What kind of piece of intelligence is this?" Ji Qing laughed out loud on the spot and said: "Isn't this normal, ancient Japan has inherited some Chinese Confucian traditions, and it is not strange that women do not leave the pavilion." And when we people come in, it is probably no different for them to be like a devil entering the village, and the girl will definitely be strictly hidden, as for the uncle, it may be that the wife is strict. ”

"Perhaps." Zhao Mengqi didn't refute either, nodded and said, "It's probably because I'm too careful, but I always feel weird......"

"Okay," Rorschach finished listening, and also said in a round, "You have done a good job, this information is indeed very comprehensive, so that tomorrow we will set off to Oda's territory to learn some information about Onmyoji and the like, if it really doesn't work, we will go to Edo, as a big city in Japan now, there should be a mysterious power to protect it." ”

The conversation was interrupted, and the people who returned to the house to rest, but they did not expect that the next day, they had to delay the established plan and stop.

Because, two members of the team are missing.

Overnight, Xie Rui, the former female anchor among the newcomers, and Ji Qing, a veteran who has experienced a mission. The two women disappeared at the same time in the house where they lived. (To be continued......)
