Chapter 12: The Cursed Slayer

In front of two similar mirrors, "understanding" and "love" will eventually turn into a glow, refracted in the mirror, reflecting infinitely overlapping mirrors, and repeating until eternity.

A "physical link" that can transmit pure emotions to the other person at the first moment, before even one's own reason is perceived...... That short data cable has become the purest medium to transmit that glow at this moment.

The two sat next to each other, with no fingers crossed and no lips and teeth intertwined...... Even if he didn't show any intimate movements, he didn't make any sound. But that quiet and tranquil atmosphere has begun to diffuse in the air.

It is like a lit dried orange peel, sweet but not greasy, with a surging aroma of medicinal herbs.

The two of them closed their eyes, feeling the time pass quickly.

This kind of spiritual mutual comfort is undoubtedly a very effective method of relaxation, and it is also a kind of spiritual purification.

But even so, every move of the outside world was still captured by them for the first time.

Even if they are washing each other's hearts, they are outside after all, and the island of happiness is not a holy place. Neither of them let their guard down.

Therefore, when the man who knew "Alice" quietly chose to leave, the two with their eyes closed opened their eyes at the same time and looked at the back of the hooded man who looked a little lonely.

[Do you want me to go and see it?] 】

The delphinch's voice rang out in Alice's heart, echoing like a hollow.

And "Alice" immediately understood what Delphinium really meant: she wanted to jump into the cyberspace and investigate the other party while following it.

Alice glanced at the handbag that Delphinium was carrying.

The handbag did contain make-up makeup, as well as tissues and handkerchiefs...... But what takes up the most space is the portable infiltration aid with a disc plate already attached to it.

The infiltration aid has only one data exit. Therefore, the two can only go with one.

Russell's left arm is no longer an engineering prosthetic, but a combat prosthetic...... After losing the built-in computing assistant chip, Russell's current infiltration ability is indeed inferior to that of Delphinium.

Therefore, under the extremely fast mental communication between the two, it didn't take even half a second to decide the details of the plan.

[Then I'll be responsible for looking at your body]

Alice replied in the delphinch's heart.

The delphinium nodded, placing the pouch on her lap and hiding it inside against the wall.

And pulled out a data cable from his handbag and plugged it into his waist. With her legs and the table in her way, it's hard to see her work.

At this moment, the delphinium glanced back at Alice.

Also sitting, she was still a little taller than Alice.

It's hard to get on the other person's shoulder......

[It would be nice if it was Russell]

The thought in the heart of the delphinium came.

Alice was a little helpless. But she can't always change in public in the restaurant.

So he could only lean outside, lifted his skirt and patted his soft and white thighs, and motioned for the delphinium to lie down.

Satisfied, the delphinium lay down on her side and gave her hair a haircut to make herself more comfortable.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes.

And when she opened her eyes again, she felt a sense of falling.

It's like falling sideways, spinning from a tall building...... And by the time she fell into the air, she had already turned into a big white dog with sapphire-like holes.

When she opened her eyes, she flipped over in a near-gravity defying stance and landed lightly.

And at the moment, where she is, is in that pizzeria.

She can even see all the figures...... These images, captured in real time by the store's camera and constructed in the virtual world, together with the surrounding pizza shop scene, are transformed into gray-and-white silhouettes.

People are thin and fragile, like afterimages that only appear in memories, and like phantoms reflected in the gray-white moonlight.

In the search for the delphinium, the path that the man walked was gradually restored by the delphinium.

An afterimage that had just put on its hood existed in the void in a motionless manner.

The delphinium, on the other hand, ran forward, smashing through each afterimageβ€”and with each afterimage she smashed, a new one resurfaced in front of her. With every leap, the next remnant is shattered.

"Deceived Kangxi"

If there is a third party watching the delphinium at this moment, you will find that her movement trajectory is not "linear" at all. Every time the delphinium jumps, it also flickers in this world of data. And as her running accelerated, so did the distance she flickered.

The man hadn't been gone for long, so the delphinium caught up with him in the blink of an eye.

If you drill directly into the opponent's body, you can invade the opponent's chip. But it's also quite dangerous...... Because that means that one's consciousness is reduced to a program, a piece of data, which can be intercepted, isolated, and deleted.

When dealing with Tiansheng before, for Russell's safety, she couldn't take care of a lot. It was directly drilled into the chip sent by the sky.

But these days, time is not of the essence...... The reason why she was lying on Alice's lap was that she was ready to sleep.

There is no radio-insulated black zone in the upper part of Happiness Island, which means that the cameras are basically full coverage and can be easily hacked into. As long as the man doesn't suddenly enter the lower town, the delphinium will always find where the other person is going.

Although the other party is not a suspected demon, even as the executive director of the head office, Delphinium cannot directly investigate the other party's personal information...... However, as long as the specific address of the other party can be found, or the contact person, the personal information of the other party can be found out through other means.

- Delphinium is also a qualified cyber detective as well as a psionic hacker.

Delphinium is quietly in the virtual world, following each other.

Through the information provided by the camera, she had already seen the characteristics of the other party's spirit - although she was not completely sure, but at least she could confirm that he was indeed not Russell's father......

Although Russell himself did not know what his father looked like or what kind of spiritual relatives he was.

But he was at least sure that the man was some kind of bird belonging to the eagle family or the falcon family.

And this man, albeit with small ears...... It can be almost completely covered with a hood.

But by his two huge front teeth, which were so obvious that they could not even close his lips completely, it was clear that they were rodent souls.

His tail is also short, and he can hide directly in his pants without slitting.

…… Moreover, although this man is not ugly, he is obviously far from Russell's level.

In other words, he can stand up to the characteristics of a rodent, and still make people feel "at least not ugly". This shows that his parents are genetically quite good.

So that when he has small eyes and two front teeth, he will not make people feel disgusted at a glance.

Either way......

Alice's soul is a cat, and she is also a desert cat who has awakened the murderous instinct of "killing hearts".

A mouse falls in love with a cat?

It's not easy......

Just like the spiritual owner of a beast such as a lion or a tiger, just standing there is quite a deterrent. It was oppression from the depths of the blood.

When Russell first met Delphinium, he was also a little reserved.

Although desert cats are predators, they are too small. It does not have a niche advantage in front of a medium-sized dog like a Samoyed.

And the owner of the rodent spirit parent...... Even if it is only a mild psychic disease, I am afraid that I will instinctively fear natural predators such as cats, snakes, and eagles.

In other words, the owners of rodent spirits give people the stereotype of "very timid" and "like to be dark".

From these people, it is easy to give birth to social fear...... It's not that the souls themselves cause social fear, it's that they are afraid of almost everyone. If you develop this habit at an early age, you will be afraid to communicate with people when you grow up. After work, it becomes a social phobia over time.

Against this instinctive fear, you can still have love......

Heck, it's not easy.

It's no wonder that you're out of love......

How can a cat fall in love with a mouse?

Under the watchful eye of Delphinium with great interest, the man never got into the car, but walked briskly from the streets and alleys and through the crevices in the corners of the walls, as if he was hiding from something.

But after all, he couldn't escape the search of the camera. In other words, no one can escape the invisible web formed by the camera.

Each time it appears in front of a new camera, it creates a new afterimage in the delphinch's eyes.

The man seemed to be aware of this, and always looked back in the direction of the delphinium.

A pure white Samoyed with a blue flame burning in the child's hole looked at him quietly from that position.

But the delphinium is not in the real world at all...... At this moment, she only exists in another virtual world that overlaps with the real world. A cyber world built with ubiquitous cameras, firewalls, and chips behind everyone's heads.

[It's really sensitive]

Delphinium thought to herself.

Apparently watching him from another world...... Without infiltration equipment and detection devices, it is absolutely impossible to discover your existence.

This is what the so-called "cyber detectives" do on a daily basis.

But with some kind of intuition...... As if he had spotted Alice with makeup without warning, he could still feel himself being watched.

Although, in the eyes of passers-by, the man was as neurotic. He kept looking back at the air and wore a hood that covered his head. It's extremely suspicious to look at...... It's like a novice thief who has just finished stealing something and is so weak that he keeps coming back to check the situation.

However, adhering to the idea that "more is better than less", although many passers-by filmed this scene, there was still no passer-by who uploaded this information to the executive department.

At this moment, the scene that the delphinium saw was also transmitted to Alice on the other side through the physical link.

"Wait a minute, dear ......"

A gentle voice rang out from the side of the delphinch.

The delphinium looked back.

I saw that in the virtual world, which was completely composed of gray images and ubiquitous data streams, the same color existence suddenly appeared as myself.

It was a blooming, incomparably gorgeous rose.

Light blue, dark blue, light purple, dark purple, red – above the neck, are huge flowers made up of five gradient colors. The upper body is full of motherhood, and the plump and pure white figure is not wearing any clothes. Only dark blue thorns wrapped around her, but nothing was in the way.

Only her upper body emerged from the ground, like a flower growing out of the asphalt.

This is a demon that hatched from the Delphinium's psionic ability and recognized the Delphinium through training.

Demons could have created demons by dreaming - as disembodied information creatures, it was even easier for them to enter the virtual world.

The demon named "Lethal Love" caresses the hair on the white dog's body. The thorns around her arms were like combs at the moment.

The lethal amount of love whispered, "He ...... There are traces of me. ”

"Your traces?"

Delphinch's expression became serious: "Did you use the chip I made?" ”

In that case, you can basically lock the identity of the other party.

"Not really."

The demon of "lethal love" denied without hesitation: "That was before I chose you......

"Even if the same psionic energy is awakened, the specific manifestations and abilities will not be exactly the same. Psionic energy, after all, is a power that comes from the depths of your psyche. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it your previous host? ”

As soon as Delfinch's words fell, she realized that she was not rigorous. So she hurriedly added: "Or, is it a previous one?" ”

"It's the ex."

"Lethal love" stroked the white dog and made a gentle voice: "That's it...... Shortly before I gave birth to that child. ”

Delphinium knew who she was talking about.

When she awakened the demon before, she knew that ...... "lethal love" was the mother of the inferior.

Yes.

Not the woman she parasitized, but herself. Because at that time, it was no longer the mortal who controlled the body, but the "lethal amount of love" itself.

The one who gave birth to the inferior was the one who was the devil.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it your trace? ”

"It's hers."

"Deathly love" replied, "It was before I woke up, so I wasn't very impressed."

"That is, before she fell into a demon - she had used psionic powers on this man. Appears to have been commissioned or coerced by someone......

"And her psionic effect is different from yours."

"Different?"

Delphinch was a little surprised: "Isn't it helping people improve the blue shift?" ”

"It's not. Her love is not 'giving', but 'possession'. It is also 'lethal', but one is for oneself and one for others. ”

"What to say...... Her psionic powers are closer to the resentment and resentment of 'cursing and killing those you love.'

"β€”That's the ability to kill 'the one you love but can't.' And the goal of this ability does not have to be oneself. ”

Hearing this, the delphinium and Russell in the distance were stunned at the same time.

The next moment, from Russell's side, an extremely strong emotion, came.
