Chapter 126: Despicable and shameless
In the silence, the two froze in place, looking at the door that should have been closed, and glanced at each other.
Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, turned around decisively, and motioned for Bai Xi to leave with him: This situation is too weird, it's better not to take risks easily.
But Bai Xi didn't move, just pulled Ye Qingxuan's sleeve and shook his head.
Ye Qingxuan and Bai Xi looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: When did your courage not compare to a little girl?
It can't be that you were really scared by the chase a few days ago, right?
He sighed silently, gestured a few times, and signaled that Bai Xi was ready to copy the guy at any time. He also silently activated the Jiuxiao Huanpei, and was ready to do something discordant, so he grabbed Bai Xisa and ran.
One is responsible for fighting, the other is responsible for running, and the two have a clear division of labor, but it seems to be subtly misplaced.
In the silence, the two of them walked silently, close to the open door: behind the gate was a huge space.
Under the light of several torches, a huge matrix was erected on the ground with alchemy consumables such as mercury, lapis gold, ancient silver, and precious stones.
It's a resonance ring that requires the consumption of sky-high materials to arrange.
Between the layers of intricate music and musical notes, each node is dotted with a towering prayer flag, painted with fine runes, and the figures of gods and Buddhas. The prayer flags are windless and automatic, exuding regular etheric fluctuations, like alchemy equipment exclusive to a certain faction.
They were organically combined with the resonance rings below, and a vast amount of ether flowed through the materials within, accumulating power and emitting a brilliant glow.
The glow illuminated the scriptures on the prayer flags, making it seem as if countless musical notes were swimming in the void, turning the entire underground space into incomparably sacred.
But in this sacred space, there was a corpse that had its throat cut.
Ye Qingxuan only felt a little scared when he saw it.
The corpse of the musician was originally the musician in charge of guarding the place and building the ritual, but now that the place had been invaded, he had his throat slit before he could even resist.
Blood was pouring all over the ground.
In silence. Bai Xi quietly pulled the corner of Ye Qingxuan's clothes and pointed to the back of the resonance array...... There, a black-robed figure knelt on the ground, swiftly and silently cracking the entire circle.
When the original self-contained ring of resonance is dismantled. An external force will not cause a self-detonation, and all the materials in it can be swept away.
Including enough ...... to make any musician go crazy Relic of the Sage!
Perhaps because of his absolute confidence in his plan, he deciphered the circle with all his attention, dismantling the notes on it.
Through the etheric waves of the entire circle, he didn't notice the arrival of the two people.
Ye Qingxuan looked at the figure. I always feel as if I've seen it there, and it's very familiar.
In silence, Bai Xi took out a crossbow from his arms, gestured a throat-cutting posture, and asked for his opinion: Cousin, do you see that his posture is so punctual, do you want to give him a shot?
Before Ye Qingxuan could answer, his face suddenly changed.
In the silence, even the slightest friction of the fabric was so clear that the figure was shocked, and suddenly raised its head. I looked at it.
The eyes were gloomy and sharp, like an ice cellar in the dark, with a chilling chill.
But when he saw Ye Qingxuan's dress clearly, he seemed to remember something, and there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes.
“...... Sherlock Holmes?"
In the darkness under his hood, he uttered a hoarse voice: "The black musician?"
After seeing those eyes and hearing that voice, Ye Qingxuan knew who he was, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect to meet you here......"
He paused, his pupils narrowing slowly:
"—Your Excellency, Professor. ”
After the circle. The professor got up slowly and sighed, as if lamenting the arrangement of fate:
"One another, vengeful Mr. Evil Spirit. ”――
One is the criminal think tank of Downtown. One is a famous black musician, neither of them expected that they would meet in this situation, in the cellar of this Tianzhu people......
It's like an old friend meeting, and the two of them look at each other across the magic circle, 'shushing each other'.
"I heard you're hurt?"
Ye Qingxuan held his cane. After a long time, he asked, "It doesn't taste good to be hunted and killed, right? Without the help of the butcher, will it become a soft-footed shrimp?"
"Sorry to disappoint you. That bunch of garbage can't hurt me, but you'......"
The professor seemed to laugh, and his voice mocked: "It's not very clever to do that trick in the rat club." After successfully playing with the minds of those fools, it seems to make you very proud. ”
"The human heart is such a wonderful thing, no matter how many times it is explored, it is endlessly evocative. ”
Ye Qingxuan laughed hoarsely, revealing an unfinished meaning, staring at the professor's figure, and his eyes became **:
"If I have the chance, I'd like to explore where Your Excellency's limits are. ”
"Yes, I want to try what it's like to hunt a black musician. ”
The professor smiled, and they laughed at the same time, as if they had met a confidant.
But in the next moment, the professor burst into flames, and a silver flute slipped from his cuffs, playing a faint and poignant melody.
He did it!
Ye Qingxuan also made a move.
He stretched out his hand, pressed his staff on the resonance circle, and made a gesture to poke - do it? Okay, you are not afraid that I will poke and explode the circle, and the two of us will die together, or simply attract people from outside to besiege you, just do it.
In an instant, the sound of the flute dissipated.
Under the hood, the professor's expression turned blue. He didn't put down the silver flute, but just suppressed the melody engraved in it.
"Despicable!" he squeezed his voice out between his teeth.
"Shameless!"
Ye Qingxuan scolded back without guilt: "Didn't you do it first? Are you embarrassed to scold me?"
He still held the Nine Heavens Ring in his hand, and he was about to poke. There was a faint sound of the piano rippling on the Nine Heavens Ring, only a line away from the aether-filled resonance circle.
Seeing that he was about to poke down, the professor's eyes became more and more gloomy:
"You'd better stop ......"
Ye Qingxuan sneered: "Why don't you let go first!"
The professor was silent for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of doing something with this guy here, and proposed in a cold voice: "I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will put it together." ”
"Good. Ye Qingxuan nodded.
In the silence, the two men looked at each other in silence and uttered in unison:
"One, two...... Three!"
At that moment, the professor suppressed the melody brewing in the silver flute. And Ye Qingxuan also withdrew his cane at the same time.
It's good, everyone is a rule-abiding person, and no one has broken their promises, which is good.
Can be immediately followed. A hint of murderous intent flashed in the professor's eyes, and a poignant melody played again in the silver flute in his hand. He's seized on this brief void to put this damn bastard to death!
But he didn't expect that after Ye Qingxuan's cane was withdrawn, he took over the crossbow from the companion beside him. Then he aimed at the circle.
Like a skilful assassin, he put his finger on the trigger and pressed down half a point!
In the next moment, it was an earth-shattering explosion or a fight between you and me.
But the movements of the two people stopped abruptly again.
The sound of the whistle dissipated, and the fingers on the trigger of the crossbow slowly loosened.
“......”
“......”
Dead silence, an awkward dead silence.
"Despicable!" was the professor's cold whisper.
"Shameless!" This is Ye Qingxuan's response without hesitation.
"Indecent!" this is Bai Xi finally found an opportunity to interject.
If there is a scolding contest, then the score must be 1:2 now!
"Yay, win!"
Ye Qingxuan and Bai Xi high-fived each other tacitly, whistled, and danced happily.
I don't know why. The professor suddenly felt a pang of weakness...... Fighting wits with these two heartless eyes is simply an insult to one's own intelligence.
“......”
The two sides remain stiff and silent.
The professor finally broke the silence and said, "It's not a way to go on like this. Pu Su Po could come back at any time. ”
"That's right. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded appreciatively, not without mockery: "You say so well and reasonably, it's really convincing." ”
"How about letting go at the same time this time?"
The professor proposed.
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and tapped the magic circle between the two with his chin: "It's easy to let go, but what about things?"
The professor sighed, "Dismantle the circle first...... Whoever dismantles it is his. ”
"I'm in favor. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded politely: "I have a companion, she helps me, do you have any opinions?"
The professor glanced at Bai Xi. Realizing that she was just an apprentice, she nodded.
"One, two...... Three!"
Just as the two of them counted down in unison, Ye Qingxuan and the professor let go at the same time.
But at the same time, they subconsciously raised their hands. Finally, after sensing the other party's guard, he let it down again with regret......
"This man will be a great enemy in the future. ”
For some reason, Ye Qingxuan and the professor had the same thought in their hearts at the same time. subconsciously wanted to do it, but after seeing that the other party was full of vigilance, he sighed regretfully. Synchronicity took a step back, indicating that he was not hostile.
Bai Xi looked at the two of them with eyebrows and entanglements, and couldn't help but shake his head:
“...... You're so boring. ”――
When the two clearly found out that the other party had complied with the agreement and that they had not gotten off the phone, they gave up the idea of making the first move.
Take the treasure first, otherwise it will be bad if you are profited by the fisherman.
It's just that the professor is just cracking the magic circle on his side by himself, and he has no intention of helping Ye Qingxuan's side.
From time to time, he squinted over and looked at Ye Qingxuan's methods, as if to judge the skill and level of this mysterious enemy......
At this time, Ye Qingxuan naturally couldn't be seen by this guy.
It's just a matter of cracking the circle, it's just rearranging the steps of building the circle upside down, and it's easy to interpret it...... That's weird!
If Abraham, who had presided over the Requiem enchantment, came here, it would be easy to crack the Ring of Resonance.
But Ye Qingxuan has only been in school for more than a month, and he hasn't even finished the book! He can only barely disassemble a single note, and once it involves a whole bar, he is completely blinded......
But it doesn't matter.
He really doesn't have the skills on his side...... But he has a white tide!
He glanced back at Bai Xi: Cousin, it's time for you to play!
"Look at me!"
Bai Xi came up excitedly, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his index finger forward, and pointed at the dotted spot in front of him.
But just in front of the index finger, on the circuit of the resonant ring, all the moving aethers collapsed in an instant.
Talent.Trick!
When it is in full swing, it is the terrifying force that can create the Black Zone and send all the Aether into a frenzy. But when it is condensed at the tip of your finger, it can become a 'scalpel' that cuts off all enchantments and the order of the ether!
Under Hermes's teaching, a few days ago, she had been able to simply control a trace of the terrifying talent in her body, without worrying that it would wear her down at any time.
The little girl who was born to love dazzling showed Ye Qingxuan her great achievements for the first time, won the admiration and admiration of the young man, and obtained a strong self-esteem satisfaction.
And she never hesitated to conceal and eliminate Hermes's teachings from the success factor, attributing it to her own great talent.
So through the circle, the professor's eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if his brain was broken.
What the hell is this?!(To be continued.) )
