Volume 1 – Ouroboros and Black Irises Chapter 44 The Chen Family and the Traitors?

In the courtyard of the Chen family's mansion

The large courtyard seemed unobstructed, and the owner of the mansion did not seem to be worried about outside interference, because he knew that his home was safe enough. The outside isn't as defenseless as it seems, but it's full of enchantments.

"That's enough open space."

Chen Yunming stood at the threshold of the gate and said helplessly to Liu Ruoxi, who was standing in the center of the courtyard. The latter stood in the center with his arms outstretched, as if feeling the breath of his surroundings. The bright moonlight passed through the bamboo grove and willow branches in the courtyard, hitting her petite body.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's magical, it's good, it's a good place for rituals."

Liu Ruoxi held her chin with one hand and nodded her head seriously. Then she looked at Chen Yunming and gave him a thumbs up.

“.... What a bad gesture is this..."

Chen Yunming thought as he walked through the door. I saw two large cardboard boxes next to the door, which were stuffed with all kinds of strange items, and they looked very heavy. Chen Yunming squatted down and picked up the first box with some difficulty. The carton could no longer be closed, and Chen could feel its heaviness, one of which was already exposed. Chen Yunming opened the cardboard on the top layer of the box and took a look at the contents inside.

“... What are these...."

Chen Yuming looked at the props of unknown meaning inside, and said inadvertently. At this time, Liu Ruoxi was pouring black ink to draw the prototype of the magic array along the courtyard. But this circle of hers is different from the circle depicted by other masters. The intricate curves and changeable patterns give people a very mysterious feeling. After carving the wheel corridor, Liu Ruoxi took out the red shiny powder from the side and carefully drank it on the wheel corridor. Under the moonlight, the entire magic array emitted a strange dark red glow, surrounding Liu Ruoxi in the very center.

"Is the summoning ritual so troublesome..."

Chen Yunming had finished moving his things early in the morning, and then stood aside to watch Liu Ruoxi's operation. However, when he saw a series of such complex operations, he thought to himself that this was a big difference from the steps his grandfather had said before. Although the shape and complexity have improved a lot, the core formation of the magic circle is still retained by Liu Ruoxi. It seems that she is not a nerd who does not understand anything.

"The stronger the Heroic Spirit is summoned, then the stronger the magic array will naturally be needed to maintain his magic power in the present world, which is the basic principle of summoning apostles."

Liu Ruoxi rummaged through the two boxes and found all sorts of things, placing them in different positions in the circle one after another. After each thing was arranged, she would carefully observe the entire circle, as if she was studying Feng Shui.

"What is the profound meaning of your posing? ?..."

Chen Yunming leaned on the branch of a willow tree and asked. Hearing Chen Yunming's question, Liu Ruoxi immediately stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side, and said confidently:

"Of course, this is a necessary preparation for the ceremony."

After that, she actually took out a night vision device from the cardboard box.

“.... Hey, wait! This is precious! When did you buy it!"

When Chen Yunming saw the black hood-like thing, he immediately asked.

"Bought with these things."

Liu Ruoxi said calmly as she put the night vision device on her head.

"And this...."

Liu Ruoxi took out another strange thing from the box and began to tinker. Chen Yunming then remembered the large number of couriers he had seen in the dormitory before, and he was sure that most of them were such things of unknown meaning.

"Oh yes, in order to prevent you from buying things like this, my dad said that next time your pocket money will be handed over to me."

Chen Yunming said suddenly, and then smiled maliciously. However, even so, it still did not dampen Liu Ruoxi's interest.

"Oh... It's okay, I've already won almost everything I want to buy anyway. If there is anything else you want to buy, it would be good to take it from Komiya. ”

Liu Ruoxi said indifferently, seemingly on the premise that Chen Yunming would give her money unconditionally. Listening to Liu Ruoxi's work, Chen Yunming felt that he had no strong aura since 2-point, and was completely underestimated by the idiot in front of him. However, just as Chen Yunming was about to open his mouth to scare her, he saw her suddenly stand up and turn to look here.

“.. What's wrong. ”

In this way, it was Chen Yunming who was suppressed by this scene. Liu Ruoxi wore a black night vision device, and walked slowly towards Chen Yunming step by step, and at the same time whispered:

"Battle Mode - Switch. ”

"BATTLE MODE! ?"

Before Chen Yunming could realize what was happening, he saw Liu Ruoxi press the button on the side of the night vision device, and then the position of her eyes emitted a faint green light, and the two green light spots fluttered like ghosts at night with afterimages, which was extremely weird.

At the same time that Liu Ruoxi pressed the switch, there was a sound from under her feet. Then I saw her kick on the spot, and she moved in front of Chen Yunming like a float without relying on her feet. At this moment, she stretched out her arms, and with a sudden wave of her right arm, the sound of mechanical chains and friction reached Chen Yunming's ears. The next moment, a golden-colored knife appeared in her hand out of thin air.

"Woo~!"

However, what was waiting for her in front of her was Chen Yunming's hand knife. She let out a low roar and knocked her feet at the same time, and took advantage of the situation to hold Chen Yuming's arms. Faced with this situation, Chen Yunming naturally couldn't dodge, he removed his hands from the position between the two of them, and let Liu Ruoxi fall into his arms.

"Knock--"

is completely different from the romantic scene imagined by Chen Yunming, the night vision device worn on Liu Ruoxi's head hit his nose perfectly, and the clear pain was immediately transmitted to his brain, making Chen Yunming a little unbearable. When he came back to his senses, he saw Liu Ruoxi holding his head, and when his face was covered, he still looked innocent (?) looked at Chen Yunming.

"Obviously, such a swift attack was still resisted by Komiya, worthy of being Hannoi's knight."

Well, apparently Liu Ruoxi did not put on an innocent face, but a surprised expression.

“.. Yes.. Forget about the walking shoes, knives are very dangerous, and there are night vision devices. ”

Although for Chen Yunming, the operation just now was quite handsome, especially the one that was thrown off, he still had to remind Liu Ruoxi. Otherwise, it would have been even worse for her to wander around with that golden dagger.

"Are night vision devices dangerous?"

After listening to this, Liu Ruoxi obediently took off the night vision device and put it back in the box. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to disassemble the device attached to his arm that could eject the knife into the palm of his hand. But before Chen Yunming could take a breath, Liu Ruoxi immediately took out other things from the box, and asked with some excitement:

"Komiya, is there anything else you want to try?"

Soon, the summoning of a good heroic spirit turned into a secondary two prop appreciation test meeting under Liu Ruoxi's semi-compulsion. However, Chen Yunming, who has always been obedient to her, has no other way but to accept it helplessly. On the second floor of the mansion, a man and a woman stood by the window, silently watching Chen Yunming and Liu Ruoxi playing in the courtyard.

"I'm still worried that Yunming will be disappointed because he didn't become the master, it seems that my thoughts are superfluous."

The middle-aged man smiled and said with relief. The woman next to her also smiled, looked at the other end of the courtyard with loving eyes, and said slowly:

"The relationship between the two of them is closer than we thought, and Yunming doesn't care at all about the fact that he wasn't chosen, but will be happy for Ruoxi."

"Hmph, stinky boy, the rabbit still doesn't eat the grass by the nest, he can do it, so he grabs the grass by the nest and eats it. But it's okay, I don't have to find out the details of my future daughter-in-law at that time. ”

The middle-aged man scolded with a smile, it seems that this person should be Chen Yunming's father, Chen Weishu. Another woman is naturally Chen Yunming's mother-Dai Jiayin.

As soon as Chen Weishu's words came out, Dai Jiayin laughed unconsciously, she stretched out her hand and patted Chen Weishu gently, and said:

"Neither of these kids is aware of that."

Although the two of them did not object to Chen Yunming and Liu Ruoxi being together or anything, they did not deliberately match, going with the flow was the best choice, and the young man's affairs had to be solved by the young man.

"But then again, wouldn't it be dangerous for someone like Josh to participate in this Holy Grail War?"

Dai Jiayin remembered this dangerous battle and asked with a worried look.

"Don't worry, there is Yunming with her. Although Yun Ming's brain is not very bright occasionally, he can still basically grasp the importance of things. “

"Hope is like ........ I don't know what's wrong with Shuxing..."

"Technique. . . Heh, why are you mentioning that person who betrayed the family? ”

Hearing this name, Chen Weishu's expression flashed a trace of gloom, and his eyes seemed to be mixed with many emotions.

"But no matter what, that's what we once loved....."

Dai Jiayin looked into the distance with an expression of hope and regret and said. However, as soon as the words were spoken, the two gradually fell silent.

It was a quiet but not ordinary night, and the moon shone on the earth with a mysterious light. The quiet mansion, only the courtyard still heard the sound of playing from time to time. On the other hand, the silence here is a touch of sadness. But soon, the atmosphere returned to normal, and Chen Weishu spoke first:

"I'll go over there first."

Dai Jiayin nodded, stood here, and looked at the two people in the courtyard with love, in such a quiet and warm environment, life will become more comfortable and comfortable.
