Chapter 2 Returning to Hometown

Although he was under house arrest in school for two years and did not exercise much, compared to ordinary people, Song Chengjie's physical fitness is still very strong. At his current speed, it only took him ten minutes to come to the protective forest in the outer area of Hongchuan Cathedral.

"Tsk, it seems that it has expanded a lot in the past two years, and the traces of the battle of that year seem to have been erased cleanly. ”

Standing on a branch several meters high, looking at the cathedral, Song Chengjie couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"After the marshal dies, he should take over the task of defense, right......? Sure enough, the uncle is still here......" After waiting quietly for a while, Song Chengjie simply leaned on the trunk of the tree and half-lay down to rest, and with a wave of his arms, the two sharp weapons disappeared.

Although his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, the extreme speed of ten minutes in a row has not affected him. What's more, although Hongchuan Cathedral appears to be an open complex, it is actually not "enterable" at will.

As the branch of the Shield of Justice set up in Zhongzhou, the level of defense here is comparable to that of the world's top war fortresses, and at its outermost periphery, an exaggerated barrier has been opened.

This layer of enchantment can not only keep weaker monsters out, but also within this layer of enchantment, the surface and the inside are completely separated. In other words, if Song Chengjie enters now, without the identity of the enchantment, he will not be able to see the real church, and his location is only the surface of "the location is here".

To put it simply, it's like separating the space.

Stretching his waist, Song Chengjie exuded his breath without reservation. The sudden wind almost blew off all the leaves in the surrounding area.

At this time, the space not far in front of him suddenly fluctuated, and a middle-aged man with a half-cigarette in his mouth and looked to be thirty-nine years old, not forty or thirty-nine. Although this person's face is angular, faintly revealing a handsome and neat momentum, his untrimmed hair and messy stubble on his chin make people feel that this person can't be ordinary, and even has some decadent taste in it.

He casually draped his black uniform over his body, and the decoration like the cloak on it was also casually hung behind him, and the two sleeves hanging down from his arms swayed at will with the wind in the sky.

"Welcome back, little one. The man smiled at Song Chengjie as he spoke, and a glimmer of light flashed in his seemingly godless eyes. At the same time, he waved his hand and threw a necklace with a cross to Song Chengjie, and at the same time turned around and walked back, "This is the 'pass' of the enchantment, wear it." They can't wait. ”

"Yes. After all, I haven't seen you for a long time......" Song Chengjie smiled brightly, raised his hand to catch the cross that was thrown over, and put it on his neck with a slight trembling. As for this man, Song Chengjie knew that he was the one who was selected by the spirit weapon "Soul Control Silver Lock" in the Shield of Justice, one of the remaining four marshal-level exorcists, Kinoshita Hayato from Dongying.

Although his own combat power is not outstanding among the marshal-level exorcists in the Shield of Justice, Falto's ability is quite terrifying: through the link of the silver lock of the soul control of the spirit weapon, he can harmonize with any physical object, even the body of the enemy, except for the existence of the soul as nothing.

Of course, the so-called combat effectiveness is not outstanding, and it is only relative to the marshal-level exorcist. With the experience of practicing martial arts since childhood and more than ten years of actual combat experience, it is still a little difficult to find his opponent casually in the Shield of Justice.

Follow Hayato into the enchantment, and everything in front of him suddenly becomes clear.

Under the separation of barriers, the role of the church has been redefined, and the training ground, canteen, dormitory, and office are the real face of this place, just like the existence of the barracks.

Before Song Chengjie could express any emotion, a sound of breaking wind came from mid-air, and before he could see it clearly, a figure fell in front of him.

It was a girl who was a little shorter than him, with jet-black hair hanging down like a waterfall to her waist, and a mischievous slanted ponytail tied at the back of her head. And her deep and clean black eyes are as eye-catching as the starry sky. Although she also wears a white uniform, the obvious difference from the other uniforms reveals her different identity.

Song Chengjie didn't say much, just smiled silently and looked at the girl in front of him with complicated eyes. In the middle of the night, the girl suddenly moved her slender legs under her short skirt, stepped in front of Song Chengjie and hugged him, and then buried her head and cried.

"I'm back. Gently patting the girl's back, Song Chengjie whispered in the girl's ear. At this time, the girl just nodded vigorously while crying loudly.

Hayato didn't bother them. Two years is not a long time, but it is not short, and the suppressed feelings must only be better vented by crying loudly. The girl's name is Song Chengyin, and she is Song Chengjie's younger sister. But at the same time, since the war two years ago, she has also had to take on the position of director of the defense department of Hongchuan Cathedral, responsible for the development of new defense techniques and the construction of the church's fortifications.

After a long while, Song Chengyin snorted and let go of Song Chengjie, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly, "Welcome back, brother." ”

"Chengyin hasn't even slept well in the past two years to find you. As the head of the defense department here, he does everything he can to search for your traces every day...... Cheng Jie, go in and tell me what happened?" Hayato smoked a cigarette next to him and patted Song Chengjie on the shoulder with relief.

"Director of the Defense Division...... Chengyin is so young, didn't he say anything above?" Song Chengjie took Song Chengyin's little hand and followed Hayato towards the church, "And it seems that you should be in this position, right?"

"When the appointment was first announced, there were indeed some people who opposed it, but Chengyin completely convinced them with his actions. Now her defense department is monolithic, and they are simply obsessed with her as the director. As he spoke, Hayato took out his cigarette butt and threw it in the trash can more than ten meters away, "As for me, since I have become the regional bishop here, it is naturally impossible for me to do other positions." ”

Nodding, Song Chengjie knew the general situation. But he also understands that although Hayato said it easily, Song Chengyin's contribution is definitely not small.

The three of them came to an office, and as soon as they opened the door, a violent spiritual power suddenly mixed with a dozen sharp rocks rushed out head-on.

Song Chengjie dodged Song Chengyin behind him, and unreservedly embodied all his spiritual power, and instantly a strong wind rose around his body and blew those rocks back: "I haven't seen each other for so long, can't the welcome ceremony be peaceful." ”

"Hmph, I'm here to see how much you've regressed in the past two years. Another teenager's voice came from the room, and then a young man in a black uniform who looked the same age as Song Chengjie walked out and stood in front of Song Chengjie.

This man was dressed quite neatly, and apart from those particularly bright eyes, he could be said to be featureless, but it was also like this, but he seemed to be very distinctive, just like the difference between ordinary soldiers and ordinary people in the regular army, neat and neat. The only thing that stands out is the huge cross tightly wrapped around the boy's back with strips of white cloth.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time threw a punch at each other, and the strong fist wind even blew into each other's faces. But surprisingly, their fists stopped between the two of them very tacitly, and then the two lightly touched their fists, and their hands clenched together.

"I'm back. ”

"Welcome home. ”

"Okay, okay, the pure friendship of boys will stop for a moment. Hayato took out a lighter as he spoke, and naturally lit a cigarette for himself and bit it in his mouth, "As you can see, I have trained Wang Bin to be a first rider in the past two years, how about it, do you feel that you are going to be surpassed by others?"

Wang Bin, the only one who survived the catastrophe in Song Chengjie's hometown except for their brother and sister. The friendship cultivated by the three of them when they were young is not insignificant, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the intersection of life and death. Of course, Wang Bin is a very serious person, no matter what he does 100% of his best, before Song Chengjie became the chief knight, Wang Bin has always been recognized as Song Chengjie's most powerful competitor.

"I saw it at a glance...... That cross should be the 'Silver Wand of Demonism', right?" Song Chengjie didn't feel anything bad at all, on the contrary, he felt that it was gratifying that the brother he knew well could have such an achievement.

"Our spells are not the same aspect, and if he intends to surpass me in the wind chant, it will be pure wishful thinking. Song Chengjie walked into the room as he spoke, and directly picked up Wang Bin's teacup and drank water.

Wang Bin pretended to be unconvinced, and a few sharp rocks appeared out of thin air around him: "Of course." But you can't beat me in earthy chanting. And while you're away, even your sister is already mine. ”

"I'm not stupid enough to compare with you to ...... earthy chant" As he spoke, he seemed to be aware of some information that he had ignored, Song Chengjie choked violently, "What are you talking about, my sister?"

"Oh, this was half a year ago. Originally, it was just an excuse to shirk some marriage proposals from the European branch, but who knew that the two of them had really become a couple. Hayato said as he smoked a cigarette and seemed to remember a lot of interesting things.

Sighing helplessly, Song Chengjie just gave Wang Bin a look of "If you dare to do anything excessive, I will definitely not spare you", and then did not express any opinion on this matter, after all, this is better than asking Song Chengyin to agree to the marriage proposal of the group of idiots in the European branch.

"That's all for entertainment. Cheng Jie, let's report on what you learned. Hayato said as he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand without hurrying, his wide sleeves swaying slightly, "I've already laid out the enchantment around me, so that others won't overhear it." ”

With that, he glanced out the window seemingly casually. And where he stared, the two figures also hid in the vast moonlight again with a hint of unwillingness......
