018 Existence, Memory, Revenge (End of Episode 11!)
Mi Li, who looked tired, fell asleep in Li Xiang's room, of course, nothing indescribable happened during the period, and before she fell asleep, Li Xiang started a new round of physical training.
The special training method provided by Mili is very effective, and everyone in the club is currently using her efficiency theory exercise method.
Li Xiang's dormitory is now also specially equipped with a training room for practicing firearms, which is on the basement level.
He turned on the [Perception Boost], picked up the Blood Clan Daimyo and aimed it at the moving humanoid target in the distance.
Bang bang bang –
Twelve rounds in a row, with the blessing of mechanical mastery, all accurately hit the moving target in the opposite direction, and the target instantly stammered, and the exploded fragments were scattered all over the ground, and they were soon poured to the lower layer.
The moving target simulated the speed and physique of a level 2 magician, which showed that the power of the blood clan daimyo was far beyond his expectations.
Putting away the blood clan daimyo, Li Xiang let out a long breath, wiped his somewhat wet body with the white towel on the side, and just saw the bright light of the communication device.
He picked up the communication device in confusion, the information from the outside world could not be transmitted in the school, and there were still people in the school looking for him at such a late hour?
The message was from an older student he didn't know.
The information was very concise, and when he was asked to get together at the café, Li Xiang looked at the senior's information suspiciously, and found that he was the senior who greeted him and Shizuko Ise with Violet.
Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately put on his clothes and rushed to the café.
There are only a few people in the café late at night, as well as part-time students and luthiers who play unknown piano music all day long.
The waiter yawned, and didn't even bother to move when he walked into the café.
In the corner, a tall man in a black power suit beckoned to him: "Li Xiang, this way." ”
The few students in the café who were still frowning and reading looked up at his name, but they only glanced at it, and then lowered their heads to study the books in their hands again.
Li Xiang's fame has already spread in school, but the months of study and life have made the freshmen deeply realize how stupid it is to spend time paying attention to others in college.
Only by focusing on oneself can one not be easily eliminated.
Li wanted to walk over and sit down, the man stretched out his bronze arm and shook him gently: "My name is Karen." ”
For this junior Guardian Department senior, Li Xiang has heard a little.
He's a new guide for Ise Shizuko.,I heard that it's more romantic.,But in Ise Shizuko's hard hit a wall.,The person himself is not bad.,After being rejected.,He never came to harass Shizuko again.。
It is also said that he was in a relationship with Violet for a while.
"Senior Karen, what's the matter?" Li Xiang looked at him suspiciously, the two had no intersection, no grudges, he would ask himself out so late, there must be something wrong.
"Actually, I don't know it myself, but I always feel like I've forgotten something important. Cullen hesitated, then smiled wryly, "It's like something is broken in my head, my gut tells me that I'm missing some memory or something, but no matter how much I try to retrieve it, I can't get an answer, it's crazy......"
Li Xiang was even more surprised, he looked at Karen with extremely distressed appearance, and was sure that he was not pretending, not deliberately to entertain himself.
He waited quietly for Cullen to continue complaining.
From Karen's body, he smelled a hint of sweetness, which made Li Xiang instantly alert.
Now he can feel such a sweet taste, only from calamity.
Xenos and humans can also arouse Li Xiang's "appetite", but they are not vigorous and can be easily restrained.
Only the breath of calamity was something he couldn't refuse.
The sleeping dark golden aura in his body seemed to have awakened somewhat.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I said a lot of nonsense, I still can't figure out why I have to ask you out, otherwise I'll regret it......" Karen apologized, muttered to himself for a while, and then said, "I'm really sorry, you still forgot to hear so many strange things from me, I don't know what it is." ”
"Uh...... Senior Karen, are you okay?I remember hearing from Sister Violet, didn't you go on a mission together, did you run into a calamity?" Li Xiang asked tentatively, he knew that Karen and Violet have been on missions together to investigate the Dead Sea lately, maybe it had something to do with it.
Hearing this, Karen's expression suddenly froze, and he immediately frowned.
Then she jerked at him.
"Senior Brother Li Xiang, that, that, who is Violet?"
A sensation of shock travels from the brain to the surroundings.
"Senior Karen, your joke is not funny, ask me out late at night, if it is just to entertain me......" Li Xiang's gaze instantly became extremely sharp.
Cullen was startled by his murderous aura, and came to his senses a little, his confused eyes slightly colored.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean to joke. I always felt like I should ask you out to say something, but suddenly I can't remember, oops, my memory has really gotten a lot worse lately. But how do you know I've been on one of these missions? But not Violet. Cullen pulled out the communicator and retrieved the list of friends, as well as recent quest information.
None of them have the name Violet.
Li Xiang frowned and explained a few words.
"Freshman guide? I'm indeed the guide for Ise Sena, but didn't Professor Jeffrey pick it up himself? You see, here's a list of students in our junior assassination department, and there's no Violet as you said. Puzzled, Cullen showed him the communicator.
Indeed, there is no trace of Violet anywhere.
Li Xiang took out his communicator and retrieved it again, it was not Cullen who deliberately corrected himself, even all traces of Violet in his communicator had disappeared.
"How can this be...... "He didn't know Violet in depth, but he was very sure that this person existed, after all, it was the border where she led him, and the later series of ** also happened because of this.
"Ah, speaking of which, I remember!" Cullen patted his head and fumbled around his body for a while, pulling out a crumpled piece of letterhead.
"I'll just say how the name Violet is so familiar, today I got up, and found that there was such a letter next to the pillow for some reason, and it seems that a person named Violet asked me to give it to you, no, who is Violet......"
"Damn, I'll go first, Senior Brother Li Xiang, it's estimated that the number of missions has been too frequent recently, which has made me hallucinate, don't care. The expression on Cullen's face kept changing, and finally showed a hint of tiredness and infatuation, and he staggered out of the café.
The aura of calamity on his body was thickening.
Lee wanted to open the letter.
Li Xiang personally revealed:
I'm so scared......
There is only one sentence, and the handwriting behind it is clearly there, but it is vaguely illegible.
Li Xiang touched his eyes, and when he looked again, the letter had become a blank sheet of paper with nothing.
"What's ......" Li Xiang let out a sigh of relief, and the trace of boredom lingering in his heart lingered.
From Karen's inexplicable appearance, to his abnormality, to Violet's disappearance, he is extremely anxious.
The letter in his hand was completely blank.
He examined it closely, and there was not the slightest trace of magic, just an ordinary piece of letterhead.
Except for the same scent as Cullen's, but the sweet smell faded in the breeze.
Li wanted to get up and check out, and then ran quickly to the mission hall.
The late-night mission hall is still crowded, and the rotating paintings are full of missions to investigate the Dead Sea.
The pay is low, but the safety factor is high.
He walked over to the query machine and searched for the most recent tasks, and sure enough, there were many tasks that Cullen was involved in.
But none of Violet's names are in it.
He tried to use the communicator to contact several other seniors who had participated in the mission together, and the answer he got was the same as what Cullen said.
There is no such thing as Violet.
It's just that they also look a little unconscious.
This is absolutely not normal.
How can such a problem of forgetfulness happen to a magician?
is not an ordinary person in the Blue Star period, a magician is strictly speaking, equivalent to a superpower person in the film and television dramas of the Blue Star period, and his physique is dozens of times that of ordinary people.
Even if you carry a letter with you, you will forget what it is......
It's not as simple as poor memory and forgetfulness.
If it is related to the calamity, it must not be related to the Dead Sea, thinking of the group of calamities that were let go some time ago, Li Xiang frowned and rushed to the vice principal's office decisively.
......
Jeffrey was still studying the Red Book in his hand, and Li Xiang's late-night visit made him a little stunned, but after listening to his narration, Jeffrey's face gradually became solemn.
"You mean to say that there was once a person named Violet, but now everyone but you has forgotten that she exists. Jeffrey put down the redbook and looked him in the eye.
In the memory of this level 7 magician, there was no such junior.
"It's not that she forgets, it's that her existence is completely gone. Li Xiang was a little frightened, why was he the only one who remembered, this question was also creepy.
What's even more terrifying is that he is afraid that he will become like everyone else at any time, forgetting Violet's existence.
"I'm sure my students aren't stupid, and you're not the kind of stupid person. Well, she should exist. Jeffrey sighed, got up, and searched for books in the large bookcase behind him, before pulling out an old and worn magic book, "We occult magicians have been working on many occult related things. ”
"If it were other magicians, I am afraid I would not be able to say why, but I have seen this phenomenon several times in the ancient books of the occult. Jeffrey flipped through it from memory, "Look, this case, more than a hundred years ago, the existence of the entire numbered city was eliminated, and the strange thing is that there is such a forgotten place, but people can't recall it." ”
"Why can this book still be recorded?" Li Xiang asked curiously, those pages are all about similar records and descriptions.
"Ha, that's thanks to our great ancestors. They invented a magic called the Book of Occultism, the Book of Truth, and as long as anything written down with this magic will not disappear with the changes of time and space, and as long as the magic exists, it will exist. ”
Jeffrey stuffed the ancient book to him: "You, come to me to read more books when you have time, the road of occultism is not easy to follow, but if you take it well, it is no worse than your other paths." ”
"Yes. Li Xiang continued to flip through it, and saw a name that was repeatedly mentioned from it.
Vengeful Spirit.
It was a mass of souls hidden in the darkness.
Some say it's a raging flame, some say it's a heart-chilling ice, some say it's a humanoid, some say it's a chaotic and invisible monster......
There are many opinions, but it is this calamity that has done these things.
"There is no number, the name of the calamity is the soul of revenge. According to ancient books, the people who saw its existence disappeared, so there is no description or record to this day. Li Xiang frowned, if it was this calamity, then whether it was sealed at the bottom of the Dead Sea, whether it was released or not, there is no way to know.
He informed Jeffrey of his doubts, and Jeffrey shook his head.
"No way, the batch we sealed is at most an E-class calamity, and according to this description, the soul of revenge is at least above A. Jeffrey denied, "If what you said is correct, then it can only be a similar calamity, as for those who escaped with the seal, I have a record of not having this ability." ”
Li Xiang only felt cold, this was the first time he had come into contact with a human being who had been positively affected by the calamity, and it was still hot.
Is it true that magicians are so vulnerable to calamity?
"Sister Violet, she ......"
"I'm sorry, I can't help it because I don't have any information, some of the occult magic may work, but you have to know that it is very expensive to cast these spells, and I can't use them for an ordinary student who may exist. Sorry, forget about this person. Jeffrey sighed, and he was helpless.
After all, there is so little information, and now no one remembers her except Li Xiang.
"However, it seems that there is something wrong with the Dead Sea, and the results of this phase of the investigation are not very optimistic, but the Academy Cup is approaching. Jeffrey only felt a headache, and when he saw Li Xiang's stunned appearance, he shook his handbell, "I'll ask you again, kid." ”
After the handbell, a shadow door opened from the study, and out of the void stepped a slender, round leg wrapped in black stockings.
A tall and sexy woman came out of the shadows, at least 1.8 meters tall, with a black cloth covering her mouth and powerful eyes.
She looked at Li Xiang curiously like a big sister, and then looked at Jeffrey: "Vice Principal, is there something wrong with me?"
"This is Li Xiang, a freshman in the mixed department, she is the head of the assassination department, and the third-level assassin shadow. Jeffrey introduced, "Because she has been on a mission all year round, Li thinks you shouldn't have seen her, so tell her about you." ”
Li Xiang nodded and repeated it.
Shadow crossed her arms and glanced at him faintly.
"What do you think, Ei. ”
"He's right. Ying chuckled and stretched out his finger to tap Li Xiang's cheek, "If this kid lies, my intuition will react immediately." I remember every kid who killed a junior in the assassination department, sorry, without that girl. But as an assassin, I can clearly sense that my memories have been tampered with. ”
"Is it so terrifying?" Li Xiang was shocked, even a level 3 player couldn't escape, but her intuition was even more terrifying.
Intuitively perceive the problem alone.
"It's just a normal feeling. The people we assassins have assassinated also have powerful calamities, how can they survive without good intuition?" Shadow leaned over and leaned closer to his cheek and chuckled, "You want to find that girl?"
"Yes. ”
"Don't think about it, cultivate well, she's dead and will soon cease to exist in your mind. Shadow pinched his cheek hard, and his tone suddenly increased, "This is the battle, the silent battle. Players who are obsessed with death cannot live forever. You can't remember every friend who was killed by the calamity, and the only thing you can do is keep killing them. ”
"Don't waste time on the dead. ”
......
Li Xiang, who came out of the office, suddenly felt a little cold, is this the player?
Ei gave him the feeling that she was a killing machine that had lost any emotion, she didn't care about many things, probably because of the killing all the time that made her gradually change.
But Li Xiang was reluctant to do so.
He looked up at the sky, the black fog confused.
I secretly sent a message to the border just now, and the result was the same, Andrea didn't remember such a person, saying that Li Xiang came by herself.
And after the death of the last batch of traders, she originally intended to hand over this business to Li Xiang.
After listening to his narration, Andrea's reaction was similar to that of Ei.
They cared more about the terrible scourge that might exist on the border, and as for Violet's life or death, no one cared at all.
Li Xiang sighed, picked up the communicator, and dialed Shizuko Ise's phone.
"Hey. ”
Shizuko Ise's voice was a little confused, apparently waking up from her sleep.
"Ask you something, do you remember Violet?"
“......”
There was silence for a long time.
"Ask you something, do you remember Karen?"
Shizuko Ise's voice trembled a little, and she looked forward to it, as if she had been suppressed a lot, and finally got catharsis.
"I remember. ”
"I remember. ”
