(It's still a two-in-one chapter today)

...

Chino thought about it for a while, at that time, he and Hanyi had discussed it, and asked her to arrange an "accident" for Lu Yutian, and then...

Chino remembered the scene and suddenly laughed: "No wonder the earthquake came so suddenly!" It turns out that you have been staring at me with your spiritual vision, and as soon as you found out that I was pouring murderous intentions into Lu Yu, you immediately activated the Seven Calamities Illusion, forcing me to divert my attention. ”

"With the seven calamities, the prophecy of heavenly damnation has been confirmed, and the onmyoji's spell solving technique has become the only hope for breaking the situation, and it will be impossible for me to kill her."

11: "Go on." ”

Chino licked his lips and continued his deduction: "So, for so many days, you have created the illusion of the Seven Calamities in Twilight City just to force me to believe in Lu Yutian step by step. The more disasters happen, the less I dare bet on the seventh plague, "annihilation." ”

"In the end, I fell into Lu Yu's trap, stepped into the trap that had been arranged a long time ago like an ignorant lamb, was trapped by the formation, and came to this place."

Seeing that 11 sneered and didn't speak, Chino knew that he was talking about eight or nine, and he squinted: "I still have one more question, and I haven't figured it out until now." ”

"I asked Hanyi to steal back the "Breaking the Law Sutra" from the Yin-Yang Division's large library, which clearly records that the formation is used to break the curse of heaven, the required materials, processes, taboos... are no different from what Lu Yutian said. ”

"During the whole formation process, I have also been staring at Lu Yutian, she is completely arranged in accordance with the "Breaking the Law Sutra", and she has not moved any hands and feet... Why did it end up being a formation that trapped me? ”

11: "Think again? You've restored a lot of things, and this is the most crucial step, and you shouldn't have a hard time deducing it. ”

Chino's eyes flickered and he began to fall into a long contemplation, both to think about the answer and to secretly hold back 11 to give the soldiers outside more time to rescue...

11 didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, just looked at Chino silently, and let him think.

After a long time, Chino's eyes regained clarity, nodded and said, "Understood... That "Breaking the Law Sutra" is fake... To be precise, the book "The Book of Breaking the Law" does exist, because Emmer also mentions it... But what the winter clothes stole was a fake book. ”

"Through the personality thinking simulation, you know that I will not trust Lu Yutian completely, but only what I see. Therefore, before the whole operation began, you first removed the real book of "Breaking the Law Sutra" in the library of the Yin-Yang Division, and only kept the fake one, just so that the cold clothes could be stolen. ”

"And in the fake "Breaking the Law Sutra", you transferred flowers and grafted the content of the formation that trapped me to the formation that broke the curse of heaven. In this way, Lu Yutian can be open and set up this array under my nose. ”

11 Silence in place of answer.

Chino: "When did you put this fake "Breaking the Law Sutra" in it? ”

11: "Before everything is planned." ”

Chino: "Before the whole plan began, you had already calculated the last step, calculated that I would let Hanyi steal the "Broken Law Sutra"? ”

11: "Yes." ”

"Huh~" Chino whistled, his tone extremely appreciative, "Well done, detective... So every step of our duel, under your calculations, without any surprises? ”

11: "There is an unexpected factor, and the only turning point for you, is that girl named Niko, whose sun power comes from faith and is naturally immune to all mental disturbances. In the whole of Twilight, she is the only one who will not be invaded by me, and she is the only one who will not see any illusions. ”

"Wait!" Chino frowned suddenly, "Niko... Since she sees through the illusion and won't be disturbed by your psionic powers, why doesn't she come and report it to me? ”

11: "Three of your henchmen, Palatin, Baiza, and Lugo, one thinks she's plotting in secret, one thinks she's a demagogue, and the other thinks she's a naturally mentally retarded fool. ”

"The three of them worked together to beat her up, threw her in an iron cage and locked her up, ready to report back to you after the disaster."

The corners of Chino's lips twitched visibly, and he became expressionless.

11: "Ironic, isn't it?" The whole world is turbid, she is the only one, everyone is drunk, and she is the only one who is awake. But people are like that, no matter what happens, they are more willing to believe their eyes. The only one who is sober is an outlier in their eyes. ”

After a long silence, Chino didn't say anything cruel, but said silently: "I'm negligent here, my attention is on the Seven Calamities, and I didn't find out that Nicola is missing." The soldiers of the whole city were rescuing the disaster, and I thought she was also rescuing in other shelters..."

11: "You don't have to feel remorseful, this turnaround point exists, but I won't give you a chance." ”

"I've put Gao on standby, and if Paladin and they believe Nicol, take her to meet you, and Gao will go straight to Twilight and kill all four of them halfway."

"And in your mind's eye, I'll use a psionic invasion to disguise the four of them as if they had died in a disaster. That kind of earth-shaking disaster, even the death of one or two low-level transcendents, wouldn't it seem strange, would it? ”

Chino didn't seem to want to dwell on this issue, and said lightly: "Let's go back to the "Breaking the Law Sutra", how did you hide it in the big library?" It is impossible for the Onmyoji to be put into a fake book without being noticed. ”

"Or did they know that the fake book was there, but they deliberately didn't move, and the entire Yin and Yang Division and even the entire Far Eastern Dynasty were secretly helping you? But how is this possible... Why would they do such a thing for you..."

11: "The question is simple because I have one thing that you don't have. ”

Chino: "What? ”

11: "Friend." ”

Chino was speechless for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and then said silently: "Actually, although I can't understand the word 'friend', just like I can't understand 'love', I seem to have a friend too—at least that's what she said." ”

Chino then shrugged: "Of course, the matter between you and me has nothing to do with her. ”

11: "She's so unfortunate to meet you. ”

Chino: "Let's get down to business. If I'm not mistaken, the friends you mentioned are people from other reincarnation squads, those reincarnators have been to my world before, and there are some usable connections left in the Far Eastern Dynasty, and this time you just happened to use them. ”

11: "Yes." ”

Chino: "That's even more strange, how many claws do they have left?" Can this kind of big thing help you? ”

11 did not intend to answer this question, but directly changed the subject: "Don't you ask me how I saw through Jenny?" ”

Chino shook his head: "If someone else sees through Jenny, I'll ask." Your words are not necessary, it is not surprising that you are the person who knows me in the world. ”

11: "Not going to whine and complain about Jenny's incompetence?" ”

Chino said lazily: "Losing is losing, there's no need to complain, and I don't like to blame others for failure." Besides, Jenny is doing a very good job, she is doing her job very seriously, she has done her best, there is nothing to blame. ”

Chino seemed to think of something funny, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Speaking of which, your pseudonym is actually 'Dantes'?" The vengeful incarnation of The Count of Monte Cristo... Why didn't I notice this... If I had known it was you, our duel might have been more enjoyable. ”

11: "You're not nervous about your current situation at all?" ”

Chino smiled lightly, as if facing a game: "Why be nervous? I had already given up my life in a previous life, and when the Supreme Being wanted to sign a contract with me, I explicitly rejected it. Who knew that this guy was so bad, he was reborn when he signed a contract, and he was reborn if he didn't sign a contract, turning me into a refuser like I am now. ”

"Although this world is more interesting than I imagined, it is more like a cage, a colosseum, constantly sending reincarnators to fight with me, and it is boring for a long time."

"Now, you've got me, congratulations. But so what? What are you going to do? Kill me? For me, death is just a return to square one. ”

11's expression slowly became gloomy, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle: "Death? You're thinking too well. If I just want to kill you, I can use the connections of the Far Eastern Dynasty casually to make your head fall to the ground. ”

"I've given up all the shortcuts, laid out such a big plan in twists and turns, and tried my best to get you here, it's not as simple as killing you."

The smile on Chino's face was still relaxed, and he said slowly: "Then you'd better hurry up, like you said, I'm chatting with you to delay time." As we speak, 7,000 Twilight City defenders have surrounded your companion Lu Yutian. That's a brave and resilient girl, who can go into the enemy camp alone for you, and you don't want her to die in vain. ”

11: "You still think you can take control of the situation and run away from me as you used to, do you?" But I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. ”

"The array that Lu Yu poured out to you, called the 'Desperate Great Array' in Yin-Yang Technique, not only covers a large area, the formation is conspicuous and not easy to conceal, and the trigger conditions are extremely harsh - the recipient needs to stand in the eye of the array, be conscious, without the slightest resistance, and then drip his own blood."

"From a practical point of view, it's almost impossible to trap people in a desperate situation, and no fool would be so cooperative—but the world is so impermanent, and the smartest people do the stupidest things."

Chino said lightly: "And then? Will it tear me apart and tear my soul apart? Or will it make my soul fly away, and I will never be able to live again? ”

11: "The Desperate Array itself has only two functions, one is to imprison the body and seal the power. 2. Connect the life of the person in the battle with the life of the other person, live and die together. ”

"The reason why you are here is that I cooperated with the Desperate Array and used spiritual energy to invade and attack your mind, pulling you into my spiritual world."

"Don't you want to use small talk to stall for time? So guess how long it's been since we've been talking for 47 minutes so far? ”

Without waiting for Chino to answer, 11 had already given him the answer: "Not a thousandth of a second." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Chino's face completely disappeared.

On the contrary, the sneer on 11's face became more and more intense: "In the spirit world, my psionic energy can greatly control the passage of time. And with the help of psionic catalytic potions, my control over time has increased thousands of times. ”

"Now, 1 second outside is equal to 1 year here."

"You and I have just said so many things, it seems that a long time has passed, but in the external world it is actually only a moment, and even the biocurrent of the human body has not been transmitted to the cerebral cortex. They blinked once, it may have been more than half a year here, and by the time your 7,000 people are mobilized to attack Lu Yutian, the sea will already be rotten! ”

Chino's pupils had dilated sharply, his thin lips pursed into lines, and he looked at 11 expressionlessly: "Since it's your spiritual world, then I guess that if you want to trap me, you can't release your psionic energy - in other words, you will also be locked up here with me." ”

"Yes, I'm not only going to be locked up here with you, I'm going to torture you." 11Looking at Chino's eyes, the smile on his face appeared treacherous, "Are you thinking that you have congenital painless disease and are not afraid of any torture, even if I keep torturing you here?" I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. ”

"In the spirit world, I am the Creator, and I can not only control the passage of time, but also connect with your cerebral cortex and sympathetic nerves and share the senses in my body."

"You can now perceive everything in me!"

"Knock!! Without warning, Chino's heart suddenly jerked, his whole body tensed, and the surface of his eyes instantly appeared bloodshot.

What does it feel like?

I don't know...

I don't know how to describe it...

"Boom... Boom... The sound of his heartbeat had never been so clear, as if the bell was ringing in his head, taking up all of Chino's hearing, but he could clearly feel that his heart rate was dropping sharply, and the agitation was very weak, and the thunderous echo in his brain was nothing more than an illusion of sensory disorder.

Immediately afterwards, the coolness was accompanied by a feeling that had never been experienced before flooding the heart, as if the heart was taken out and kneaded with both hands, and the center of the heart was impressively lined with countless barbed ice needles, dripping down in cold sweat, like a lonely boat in the ocean of anger, being beaten and swaying.

If Chino hadn't suffered from "CIP congenital analgesia", he would have known that this is a feeling that all normal people experience, and it's called-

Pain.

"Whew... Whew..."The severe pain soon brought the symptoms of neurogenic shock, and Chino's heart rate was so low that it was precariously low, as if he was being swept into the ocean, and the waves kept rolling and lapping against him, and every breath had to be exhausted, and the blackness gradually blurred his eyes.

At the same time,11 beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and he looked at the painful Chino and smiled coldly: "Now, my body is sitting in a secret room, injected with a large number of non-lethal poisons, many of which are commonly used by your processors. ”

"They will wreak havoc in my body, destroying the system, and all the pain in the process, I am sharing with you through my psionic energy. My psionic energy works directly on the cerebral cortex and sympathetic nerves, ignoring your painlessness and allowing you to feel the pain clearly! ”

Because he had not felt pain since birth, Chino was extremely sensitive to this strange feeling, and the pain that he could still bear11 raged like a tsunami with him.

The smiling demon could no longer laugh, his face was not the slightest blood, it was covered with beads of sweat, the smell of death lingered on the tip of his nose, and his heart seemed to stop at any moment due to severe pain.

11's eyes burned with the fire of mad revenge, and his voice was like a lion's roar: "Now, do you know what it feels like to have heartache?!" When I learned that she died at your hands, the pain in my heart was ten thousand times stronger than it is now! Every day, every second, I went through this torture over and over again! ”

"I swore at that time that I would chase you to the end of the world and let you feel this pain too!"

"Chino, I'm fair. You cut her 1095 times, and I locked you up for 1095 years. ”

"After the sentence is completed, Lao Gao will shoot through my head - the desperate array connects our lives together, if I die, you will die too!"

"Until then, you will be in this dark psionic cage, day after day, year after year, and torture with me until you die!"
