Volume 1 The Domain of the Night Chapter 5 The Knife with Gray Eyes
……
The house was about to collapse, and Xu Mu stood beside a pile of wood, his face dazed, because the ghost baby had disappeared from his field of vision.
In the next second, Xu Mu lowered his head and found that the ghost baby had arrived in front of him, with black blood on his immature little face, and the claws at the front of his palm had pierced into the cloth clothes on his chest.
So what else can be done? The boy clutched the hunting knife in his hand tightly, he knew very well in his heart that he had no chance to draw the knife, the ghost baby's claws were countless times faster than him, and they would be the first to tear his chest.
"Senior brother, save him!"
The shadow of death loomed over, and at this moment, time seemed to have been slowed down, Xu Mu could still hear Yin Shui'er's slightly collapsed roar, he didn't know who his senior brother was, and he didn't believe that anyone else could save him at this time.
But for some reason, in the face of death, Xu Mu did not have emotional fluctuations.
The elements of the riot not far away, the hideous strange ghost in front of him, and the hunting knife clenched in his hand...... All of this made him feel inexplicably familiar, even intimate.
So Xu Mu suddenly felt that he didn't seem to die.
His eyes crept into a touch of white, just like the light of the sky that shone the world back then.
Xu Mu's left hand drew the knife in an instant, and slashed out along the black shadow in front of him.
"Click!"
Like the crunch sound of a knife cutting through cabbage, the hunting knife slashed through the body of the ghost baby, and countless bloody green blood splattered.
At the same time, Xu Mu's wrist turned, sideways the hunting knife, and then slammed it on the ground.
"Boom!"
The ghost baby's body was completely shattered, the earth was dented, and the wood rolled to the ground, and the terrifying impact turned the surrounding surface into a spider web.
"Huh!"
At the same time, at the moment when Xu Mu's hunting knife slapped it, a slender white air flow flashed in front of him, splitting the ghost baby's body in two at the same time.
That sword qi came from another alien.
And the small river on Yin Shui'er's side also stopped rushing, the potholes on the ground became bigger, those ghost babies completely turned into corpses, and the battle was over.
But this time, Yin Shui'er did not disperse the pale blue pupils, but instead the water elemental energy became more intense.
She turned her head to look at Xu Mu.
The rag was still stained with green blood, and the boy stood expressionless with a hunting knife in his hand.
Yin Shui'er suddenly laughed, eight ghost babies, as an alien of the Demon Slayer Division, she used the strongest ability, but only killed seven.
The rest broke through her defenses and was hacked to death by a common night watchman in a village.
The movements are casual, and the expression is calm, like a farmer killing a field chicken?
……
"That's weird."
Charles frequently observed the body of the young man in front of him, especially the seeping white pupils, his sophisticated electronic brain was full of puzzlement, could it be that now during the day, that guy can also take control of the body?
"It's not scientific!"
Charles transforms into a robot that conforms to people's standard impressions, and his scientific and technological features are full of doubts and surprises.
The three of them have been together for nearly ten years, during which time Xu Mu's body has always been in action during the day, and at night, after the night, the guy with gray-white eyes will take advantage of the weakest time of the day to occupy his body.
Xu Mu's soul, which had lost control of his body, would sleep in his incomparably large sea of consciousness until it was time to wake up.
At this time, there will be a fierce confrontation between the two, but each time Xu Mu wins.
- This is the only place where Xu Mu can win against that man.
But now it's daytime, and the gray eyes are the symbol of that person.
Could it be that Xu Mu can't suppress him anymore?
……
"What happened to me?"
Xu Mu looked at his hands blankly, he did not lose his memory, but remembered all the details very clearly.
Forcefully, draw the knife, cut off the head of the ghost baby, smash its body with his backhand, and kill it in one go.
But how could he have such strength!
"I don't know what's going on, maybe it's a bug."
Tens of thousands of possibilities flashed through Charles's mind, perhaps because of the high tension of his nerves, which caused his soul to weaken, and then was taken away for a moment, or it could be because of pure muscle memory...... There were many possibilities, but he didn't tell Xu Mu about any of them.
As the only highly intelligent robot in Blue Star that understands human emotions, it is really embarrassing that he can't give the host an accurate answer.
"Your existence is very bizarre in itself, and it is understandable that something bizarre will happen."
After a while, Charles held back such a sentence with an expressionless face.
"Anyway, it has something to do with the apocalypse, your strength is too weak, it's too early to think about this."
"Apocalypse, Lao Tzu uses you to say." , Xu Mu clutched his chest with a slight fear, the ghost baby tore his clothes apart just now, and now there is a bare piece except for a pendant.
"Huh? Where did the killing intent come from! ”
Suddenly, Xu Mu's back was cold, and he only felt as if a fierce tiger was silently staring at him, so he turned back suddenly.
With a slender posture, phoenix eyes and red lips, there is no tiger behind her, only one woman.
It's a tigress.
……
……
Xu Mu swallowed his saliva silently, looking flustered.
Yin Shui'er was clenching her fists, her chest constantly rising and falling, staring at him deadly.
"I'm Gan!" , Xu Mu violently excited, how did he forget this girl.
This is a big misunderstanding, Yin Shui'er must have thought that she had lied to her before!
"Woman, this hand is moved by itself, it has nothing to do with me." He slid the necklace behind his back, then seriously threw down the hunting knife in his hand, and raised his hands high to beg for mercy.
Yin Shui'er stared at Xu Mu, her eyes glowing with a dangerous red light.
Before leaving, she had promised the Governor that she would complete the mission perfectly, and wrote a mission log so that she could learn from each other at the upcoming Inhuman Exchange Conference.
And now, she has been deceived by the night watchman of a village, if this spreads, other organizations will definitely magnify this matter infinitely, affecting the reputation of their Demon Slayer Division, and then she will lose the face of the entire royal family and the imperial court!
"Don't believe me, I'm really wronged!".
Xu Mu kicked away the wood pressed on his feet, and smiled bitterly, he really wasn't lying to Yin Shui'er, just now, he didn't even notice when the ghost baby rushed in front of him, how could he kill it instantly.
And the cracks in the ground, he didn't even know where he got such a big force!
"Eliminate gas, eliminate anger, it's easy to get old when you're angry, and you'll have wrinkles!"
Xu Mu smiled all over his face, looked at Yin Shui'er cautiously, and then his body stiffened suddenly, and Yin Shui'er's eyes turned red.
The eyes were red, to be exact, but it wasn't a precursor to a wild beast hunt at all.
"Crying...... Crying? ”
Xu Mu was dumbfounded, he actually made the alien of the Demon Exterminator Division cry angrily.
It's just off the charts!
"Calm down, junior sister."
A peaceful voice came into Yin Shui'er's cochlea, tears swirled in the circles of her eyes, and the girl's nose twitched slightly.
She silently carried her head to the west side of the courtyard, and her voice was hoarse:
"You are absolutely not allowed to talk about this matter today."
"Definitely!" , Xu Mu's head lit like a chicken pecking rice.
How dare he not agree, women are made of water, but Yin Shui'er's composition is as hard as pure steel, and if he is unhappy, his life will be gone!
"Which force do you belong to, recruit it truthfully!" Suddenly, Yin Shui'er turned her head sharply and asked fiercely.
"This ......", Xu Mu's face was bitter, he was an ordinary person who was nothing, where was the power, if you really looked deeper, he still belonged to the imperial court.
After all, his errand as a night watchman, he is indeed a sesame petty official of Jiupin, yes.
"If you don't say it, then you don't have it." , Yin Shui'er snorted coldly, "From today onwards, your identity has been promoted from a night watchman to a supernumerary member of the Demon Division!" ”
Before Xu Mu could think of the wording, Yin Shui'er threw out a demon slayer of the Inhuman waist card from his waist.
"Huh?"
Xu Mu caught the identity card nervously, he deceived Yin Shui'er, and Yin Shui'er still wanted to recruit him into the Demon Eradication Division?
"Woman, there is no injustice and no hatred, let's not do it!"
Xu Mu couldn't help but shudder, it was obvious that Yin Shui'er was going to bring him to his side, and then slowly torture him, like an eagle playing with a chicken.
"You can say no." , Yin Shui'er raised her chin playfully and pointed behind the young man, "As long as you hit him." ”
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head along the girl's line of sight, only to see that ten steps behind him, that is, at the edge of the giant pit that Yin Shui'er slapped with his ability, there was a person standing at some point.
His hair was black, half-covering his eyes, he was wearing a large red official robe, and he held a long sword in his hands.
Xu Mu stared at him from afar, and then shivered for no reason.
Then he looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.
Somewhat cold?
"What the hell weather."
He muttered.
......
