Volume 2 – The Abyss Detective Chapter 16 Smiling Death

Nagao Fuji lifted his pants and turned to wash his hands. "Hmm~Hmph~Hmph" Zhen Xin Yixuan hummed a song that she didn't know while checking whether today's turnover could match.

"I have no money? Lend me something. ”

"It's a big night, even if you rob it openly, no one cares about you, what kind of money do you use!"

"Let's take some rules, beware of 'Death' (one of the twelve orders, controlling the Killing City) suddenly killing you."

There was a noisy sound of three people outside the door, as if they were discussing something bad. "Boom-" The three men pushed the door open and strode in.

"I'm sorry, three, it's closed today."

Zhen Xin Yixuan saw three customers walk into the store and immediately spoke.

"What? Closed! ”

As soon as the three of them entered the store, they immediately touched the dust and yelled unhappily.

"I'm sorry, please follow business hours."

Zhenxin Yixuan pointed to the sign next to the door, which read: Business hours 6:00-24:00.

"Cut—in my eyes, no store is closed!"

The man on the left said strongly, as if he was going to rob it openly.

"Little sister, I see that you look good, but you choose to live in the Killing City, it seems that you are a commodity who sells your body!"

The one on the left leaned his face over and said insultingly. However, in the face of such a scene and insults, Zhenxin Yixuan did not mess up, nor did she fight back, she was still indifferent, and said:

"Please leave, it's past business hours, or I'll use force."

"Yo! Then let you know what force is first. ”

The man in the middle yelled, he was already short-tempered, and he couldn't stand it anymore if he was hungry all night, and he was looked down upon by such a little girl. Then he grabbed a Japanese knife from the air, and then thought about Zhen Xin Yixuan and slashed it. "Phew!" Zhen Xin Yixuan simply took two steps back, and easily dodged, and then the sound of the blade cutting through the air came. "Bang!" Suddenly, a figure burst out and slammed into the face of the man with the katana, the knees of the figure against his chin, to be precise.

"Woo!"

The "Samurai" flew straight out and knocked over a shelf. The man slowly retreated to Zhenxin Yixuan, it was really the previous Longtail Fuji Dynasty.

"How did you do that?"

Zhen Xin Yixuan stared at him with wide eyes.

"Push the cart against the wall and stand inside. Kick the wall with all your might, and fly out of the shopping cart at the moment when the speed is maximized. It's just that this move requires extremely high leg strength. ”

Nagao Fuji said flatly, as if stating a simple matter.

"W-Where did this guy come from?"

The thug on the right said in a panic.

"Wear, wear a mask. It's difficult, is this, this guy has killed nearly a thousand people, 'smiling death'! ”

When the person on the left saw the mask, he panicked even more.

"It's impossible, there's no way that kind of legendary person can appear in such a place."

The two were asking each other questions. At this time, Nagao Fuji took three steps forward, and suddenly turned his head to Shin Yixuan and said:

"Just now, I hid well. Also, if there is something that cannot be solved by forbearance or retreat, then use violence. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, I've got you covered! ”

On the edge of the lake in the center of the forest in the northwest of the Hill of Memories, a young man chops the trees around him with two knives.

“... What a hell mission, you actually want me to find some 'dwelling god quadrangle'! ”

The boy shouted as he cut off the grass on the side. This young man is Ling Yun, after two months of baptism, he still looks like a hanger, without the slightest urgency or fear.

"Who was insulting Miss Zhenxin just now?!"

Nagao asked aloud in an emotionless voice. The man who had just been kicked to the ground slowly got up.

"おまえ (You, usually written お前, is a vulgar speech title)?!"

Nagao yelled at the man who had just gotten up.

"No, no!!"

The man who had just gotten up immediately shook his head, as if he had developed a fear of him.

"Cut~ It's not productive."

The person on the left, the one who insulted Miss Zhenxin in the air, muttered quietly.

"I said, what? Can you still kill me? ”

The person on the left wants to rely on the fact that the general store will set up a "no PVP" mode to shout, and although there is one less person, he can't beat 2v1 if he doesn't believe it.

"That's you?"

Hearing the arrogant response of the person on the left, the temperature around Nagao Fuji seemed to drop below freezing.

"The two of us work together, and I don't believe that we can't overthrow you!"

The momentum of the people on the right has finally been raised to the extreme with the encouragement of the people on the left. As the words fell, the two of them pulled out their long knives from their inventory at the same time and ran towards Nagao Fuji.

"It's too slow!"

Seeing the two people running towards him, Nagao Fuji couldn't help but sneer, and then his body bent slightly and shot out!

"So fast!"

Zhen Xin Yixuan exclaimed.

"Here!"

"Bang-" At some point, Nagao Fujiasa was already behind the two of them and kicked out, and one of them quickly turned around and blocked the attack with a long knife. Strangely, the feet collided with the knife, and there was a sound of iron objects colliding with each other.

"Come again!"

Nagao dodges the other's attack sideways. Immediately rotated 180 degrees, the right hand immediately burst out and hit one person in the chest.

"Woo!"

The person who was directly hit took more than ten steps back. The other seized the opportunity and swung his sword. A blood-red fire dragon flew out - the sword technique turned into a dragon slash.

"Idiot."

With his amazing reflexes and strong physical skills, Nagao Fuji Chao reached out directly and grabbed the violent fire dragon hard.

"Liar!"

The person who performed the sword skill was frightened and stopped for a second.

"There are too many reactions, physical skills, and speed to keep up, and it's not worth fighting at all, so get out!"

The figure of Nagao Fuji appeared in front of the swordsman like a ghost. "Bang!" With a punch, it flew out, right out of the door.

"Uh~"

The person who had been beaten back ten steps just now had just come back to his senses when he saw this amazing scene and immediately panicked.

"You insulted Miss Zhenxin just now."

Nagao Fuji Asa continued to speak in an emotionless voice.

"Ahh

The previous person who was knocked into the air was so frightened that he crawled out of the store.

"You don't have any teammates anymore."

Nagao Fuji slowly spit out. And he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Now, feel the fear!"

Nagao Fuji slowly took off his mask, and in front of him was a face without eyes and a nose, stained with countless blood, and there was only a small arc on this panicked face, which was a mad smile!

"I was scared and fainted."

Nagao Fuji put his mask back on, not looking at the unconscious man on the ground. It was his skill just now, Transfiguration Fear. Can be used on a target, turning himself into the thing he fears the most, while also decreasing the target's spirit. And because the person who saw Nagao Fuji Asah's mask just now had been imagining the appearance of the legendary "Smiling Death", so what he imagined was the appearance of the "Smiling Death" that the person had thought about before. "Papapa-" Zhenxin Yixuan clapped her hands, and walked over.

"It was a good fight."

"It's just a general massacre."

Nagao Fuji said lightly.

"Oh, but should I say, 'Mr. Nagao, thank you very much'? Or do you-"

Zhen Xin Yixuan paused.

"I should call you 'Mr. Smiling Death.'"

Zhen Xin Yixuan laughed softly, without the slightest timidity in her words.

"Heh, call me by my real name. My name is Kujito Asao. ”

After the words fell, he unmasked him again, but this time it was a mature, normal human face. He looks like he is about 25 years old, and he also has a smile on his face, but the difference is that this is a heart-warming smile.

Let the moonlight fall on the grass, and the world is finally no longer dark. The vast meadow turned silvery green under the moonlight.

"Yuko Sa, the treatment keeps up. Hiroshima hatred pulled! Xiaoxin sees Guiqi's attack gap and connects the attack, don't let the boss have a chance to fight back! ”

The silence of the moonlight was broken by a voice that was owned by a middle-aged man with a beard and a pale white bow, a weather-beaten man with piercing eyes and deep wrinkles. He tightened the bowstring in his hand, ready to shoot into his soul at any moment.

"Understood!"

Several voices answered, and then one skill after another followed with a stream of light, hitting a three-headed giant. "Aang—" The three-headed giant let out an angry howl and slammed his fist into the ground, stirring up flying sand and smoke several meters high. "Boom-"....

"Forget it, go back."

Ling Yun looked at the time, and then withdrew the two sharp blades in his hand from the scabbards hanging on both sides. At the end of the day, Lingyun still did not find any trace of the so-called "Jushen Quadrangle".

"I didn't even gain anything today, what a waste of a day's time!"

Ling Yun sighed as he stretched. But it didn't notice a tall oak tree behind it. "Boom!" When Ling Yun stretched his waist, the back of his head hit the tree perfectly, making a crisp sound.

"Ugh-"

Ling Yun stroked his aching head, then turned around and was about to kick the tree, but suddenly realized:

"Hmph~ I'm not stupid, if I kick, it will only hurt me, and the tree will not hurt."

So in the eyes of others, Ling Yun ended this episode as if he was self-directed and self-acting, but Ling Yun seemed a little stupid. Finally, Ling Yun finally strode up, and the two knives hanging from his waist bumped into ♂ each other from time to time to make a neat "bell sound".

"Oh, yes."

Ling Yun opened the friends list as if he remembered something, and among the few friends, Ling Yun chose a name - Nobu Izaki (Shin Izaki's story will be talked about later)

"Dripping - ...... in the Establishment of Video Communication"

"The video communication has been successfully established and is waiting for the other party to accept the ......"

"The other party also accepts, and the video communication is successfully established!"

After a long list of system prompts, a small person emerges.

"Did you get it?"

Nobu Izaki asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Alas, don't mention it, it's a waste of time to find this material specifically, and the devil knows where the Tao will find it. It's better to level up, maybe you can brush it out when leveling up, so that you can make a reasonable use of time. ”

Ling Yun directly denied.

"Why are you looking for me if you didn't get it...... It's rare that I've turned down a lot of invitations from a team for a day's vacation, so don't expect me to help you out tonight. ”

Nobu Izaki grumbled faintly. Ling Yun knew that a powerful tank like Izaki Shin was very sought-after in many places.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to ask if you have time to have a drink with me tonight. Now I can only vent my unhappiness by eating a big meal. ”

Ling Yun made an angry expression, and his bulging cheeks couldn't help but shake Izaki's body, and said:

"Oh my God! This lethality ...... It's a 'full-time person'. Okay, okay, I'll come later, it's still the old place, right? ”

"Of course, it's the old place, but when did you give me a 'full-time job'? It sounds like a certain national comic. (Funny, this is just the author's personal complaint)"

Ling Yun said in a disgusted tone while using his little thumb to make a feint of "picking his nose".

"You don't know how you were called a 'full-time person'? This is a big deal, the mysterious 'full-time' doesn't even know that he is a 'full-time'! ”

Nobu Izaki looked incredulous.

"I know, I know, but how did the news spread that I had multiple occupations? I think I'm low-key enough! ”

Ling Yun dragged his chin with his right hand, as if he was thinking seriously.

"You still call it low-key?"

Nobu Izaki said. Then in the video call, Nobu Izaki took out a newspaper-like thing and began to read:

"'Shocked! The first all-professional gamer in history! Today in the eastern suburbs of Yudu, the editor happened to witness a mage in a white robe who seemed to want to single-handedly take on a boss. As we all know, mages have no one to protect them, and even the highest output cannot be fully exerted. But what shocked the editor was that after the white-robed mage released a few basic skills, he actually took out a purple-black mechanical bow, and the arrow still had an explosion effect. In the end, through the meticulous operation of the white-robed mage, the boss was killed. But I suspected that this person might also use another swordsman class, so I started to follow him, but I was only halfway through and was thrown away. However, after the editor's summary, this person must have three occupations, which is the so-called full-time. That's it for today's headlines. 'You still say you're not low-key enough in such reports?' ”

“...... I knew that I would have found that person at that time and killed him. ”

Ling Yun scratched his head and joked.

"But it should be okay, I didn't see your face, so as long as you don't use two or more professions in front of others, no one will know that you are a 'full-time person' who is rumored to be."

Nobu Izaki carefully advised, as if a mother had looked for her child.

"Good, good. I'll see you later. ”

Lingyun was a little impatient, and hung up the call without waiting for Izaki Shin to respond. He knows Nobu Izaki, who is not only a bad person, but also a person who likes to worry about others. In the darkness, the only light was Nobu Izaki's small body during the video call. But that only light disappeared as Ling Yun hung up the call. Tonight, there is no beautiful Milky Way, twinkling stars. Only the lonely silver moon swayed lonely in the air, and it seemed that she couldn't bear this loneliness and wanted to fall.

To the east of the Hill of Memories, there is a huge basement under an inconspicuous weapon shop. The level of luxury in the basement is comparable to that of an S-class hotel (the level of the store is the same as the bounty mission, from smallest to largest: D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS). In one room, nearly twenty men in black sat around a giant round table, and it was an emergency meeting. Generally, emergency meetings are held only when there is an extremely important event. The people in the meeting looked at each other, you and I guessed the content of the meeting.

"Ahem! Be quiet. ”

Just as everyone was whispering, a crisp voice sounded. Then everyone fell silent, which showed that the person who spoke had a high prestige and appeal.

"I'm sure you don't have any eyebrows at this emergency meeting, right?"

The owner of the voice spoke again, and while the voice sounded normal, it seemed to be aimed at someone. When the words fell, everyone began to talk about it, but no one officially said it.

"President, the guild has been in a period of relaxation recently, and it is forbidden to go out to 'hunt', so nothing major should happen. Unless the president is ready to lift the 'détente'. ”

A young man who had not yet understood the true meaning of the words said seriously. From this, it can be seen that the person who spoke before was the president of this guild.

"Uh-well-understood."

The president spoke slowly, but there was a hint of helplessness in his words.

"Although I didn't mean to do so, since he answered so seriously, I can only agree."

The president thought helplessly.

"It's a good understanding, but it's not."

The president exhaled.

"Then I'll get straight to the point! As the elite of our Dementor Guild's Remembrance Hill Chapter, I believe you already know that the General Association has recently made an announcement that all members (i.e., all members of the Chapter and the General Association) are forbidden to 'hunt' anywhere, and the Guild has entered a 'period of remission'. But lately some people have gone against the instructions of the General Assembly and have teamed up to kill people outside the district. Excuse me, does anyone know about this? ”

After saying the last word, the chairman stood up and stood up against the actions of the people around him. But everyone is so quiet that they seem to be afraid of being framed, or, being reported. The demonization lasted a short minute, but for some of you it felt like hours.

"Didn't you just kill a few people? There's no need to be so stirring. ”

A slouchy voice broke the deadlock, and a few seconds later a figure walked in through the door, and added:

"As a murderer.... Oh no, as the leader of the Dementor Guild's Hill of Memories Branch, the vice president of the Dementor Guild's Killing Capital Association, and the only female administrator, you should be generous and go back to the night. ”

He leaned against the doorframe, slowly spitting out a large number of appellations.

"Shadow Kill?"

According to normal outsiders, if they break into an emergency meeting, they will definitely be severely punished, but this person known as Shadow Killer boldly entered, and this "legendary woman" still had a hint of joy in her words.

"Why are you here?"

Night-time Ru immediately ran in front of Shadow Kill.

"I'm just looking for you for something....."

Before the shadow kill could finish speaking, Night Shadow Ru pushed him and said:

"Let's go. Let's go now, it's still the old place, right? ”

"But you're still in a meeting...?"

Shadow Kill looked back at the people who were sitting upright, with dazed expressions.

"It's okay, since you've made me generous, then I don't care, let them discuss it themselves."

Tracer didn't look back, and quickly pushed Shadow Kill out of the room, leaving only a group of people dazed in the wind.

"President, she's always been like this?"

The newcomer who had made the inference before asked.

"It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it...."

The rest of the people didn't seem to have switched back from the aftermath of the meeting, and everyone replied stiffly.

In the city of Memories Hill, there is a restaurant in a relatively remote place in the east, and there is a sign outside the restaurant that flashes with colorful lights, and there are two big characters written on it: Memory Trace. Because of the remote location, there are not many people coming in and out.

"Look at the name again, it's still so advanced."

Ling Yun was already standing outside the door at some point, then looked at the sign, and pushed the door in.

Entering the store, the oncoming warm current made Ling Yun, who was already accustomed to the temperature outside, shiver. Ling Yun rubbed his hands and began to look around.

"Hey! This way! ”

Not far away, a young man in heavy armor shouted loudly, then waved his right hand. Ling Yun immediately walked forward and said:

"You guy, why are you shouting so loudly!"

Ling Yun lowered his voice and asked Izaki Shin, who was sitting in his seat.

"Well~ what's the matter, anyway, this store is deserted, and there aren't many Ren."

Nobu Izaki said without hesitation. As soon as the words fell, Ling Yun sat down in front of him and spoke:

"Aren't you afraid of being heard by the shopkeeper?"

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, he felt a cold chill penetrate his body, as if he was being stared at fiercely.

"You are the only two of you who dare to say in front of me that my shop is deserted, right?"

Suddenly, a young man dressed in waiter's clothes and carrying a plate appeared next to Ling Yun.

"What do you want?"

"Uh... First, a glass of ice water is enough. ”

Ling Yun said with palpitations.

"Ice water, huh? Good. ”

With that, the waiter withdrew.

"Let's stop saying that, I blew up the shopkeeper just now. But why did the shopkeeper suddenly wear the clothes of a waiter? ”

Ling Yun adjusted his sitting position. Nobu Izaki was just about to speak, when suddenly, a person appeared next to the two of them, it was the waiter from before.

"Woo! Kamino Moon, do you have to be so scary?! ”

Ling Yun covered his heart, and seemed to be really frightened.

Shen Wu Yue Ming Saburo, the original name is Shen Wu Yue, the name is Ming. After the two older brothers were killed, they spent all their savings incognito and opened a restaurant in the Hill of Memories. After a lot of time in management, he not only took good care of the restaurant, but also learned various skills, such as brewing, craftsmanship, enchantment, etc., and was also an information seller.

"You two come to me and ask for a glass of ice water?"

Shen Wuyue pulled out a menu out of nowhere and placed it in the middle.

"Hmm-"

Nobu Izaki picked up the menu, flipped through it a few times, and handed it to Ling Yun.

"Let's have two bottles of 'Tianliu' first, and the dishes will be the best order."

Ling Yun said like an upstart. Then he handed the menu to Kannatsuki.

"What two bottles of 'Tianliu', you haven't even reached the age of eighteen, what kind of wine are you drinking?"

Izaki Shin knocked Ling Yun on the head hard.

"A bottle of 'Tianliu' (an authentic red wine) that is not only mellow and intoxicating, but also has a natural flavor in it. This wine also has a characteristic that distinguishes it from other red wines. The fresher this wine is, the better it tastes. Is it okay to have a bottle of 'diliu' (which tastes like a mixture of various carbonated drinks, like wine but not wine)? ”

Shen Wuyue just smiled lightly.

"yes, that's fine."

Nobu Izaki replied.

Ling Yun stroked the Heavenly Spirit Gai this time and said:

"I hit a tree just now and knocked down the back of my head, and this time you knocked on my Tianling cover, this is painful!"

"Well deserved!" .....

Just when the two were arguing, Kannatsuki had already quietly gone to the kitchen.

At the northern end of the Void City is a massive complex with a magical barrier on its perimeter and only one entrance. At this time, the entrance door was closed, and several large red characters were engraved on it: Void Century Courtyard! Inside, there is a training ground to the northwest. In the square, a man of about twenty-five years old was shirtless, and his bulging muscles represented his strength. His countenance, however, was very delicate, and did not match his bulging muscles. His face was covered with sweat, and the young man held a wooden sword in his right hand, and eight puppets were erected around him. The young man spread his legs slightly, and held the wooden sword in his right hand tightly, and the bursting green tendons meant that he was ready to attack!

"Drink ——!"

The young man shouted, and then quickly swung the sword in his hand, and the heads of the eight puppets all fell in an instant. The whole action is only a second!

"Success..."

The young man gasped for breath, and the wooden sword in his hand came out of his hand and fell to the ground. The young man also sat down on the ground, his whole body depleted.

"Congratulations, your sword skills have finally improved to eight slashes."

Suddenly there was a round of applause, and then, a middle-aged man in a black, gray and white trench coat stepped out of the shadows, judging from his appearance, it could be seen that he had been able to charm many innocent girls, but only he wanted the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes to destroy the beauty. The middle-aged man smiled, as if congratulating from the bottom of his heart. The young man didn't answer, just stared at the wooden sword on the ground, as if he still had the desire to fight, but he had no strength left.

"Although I was tempted to sneak up on you and tell you not to drop your weapons and let your guard down, even in extreme safety. But seeing that you're so tired, forget it. ”

The middle-aged man had a peaceful face and an unchanged smile.

"Whew-"

The young man supported his body with his right hand, which was already very reluctant, but if he wanted to stand up, he was afraid that he would not be able to. Because he had exhausted his physical strength in order to use the "Holy Sword Technique: Eight Slashes".

"Don't get up in a hurry, get some rest tonight. I'd love to see how well you've mastered the Holy Sword Technique. ”

"Sister, is she okay?"

The young man uttered the first words.

"Don't worry, it's just that the training is too much, and she has fallen asleep due to the coma caused by using too long of mental power. So you also remember not to practice like crazy like her. ”

"That's ......"

The young man whispered to Nan Nan, a stone hanging in his heart had finally landed, but he seemed to selectively ignore the second half of the middle-aged man's words.

The middle-aged man looked at him, full of doting eyes, but there was a trace of loneliness. The middle-aged man turned away, and without waiting for the young man to speak again, he disappeared into the night, leaving behind a sentence:

"Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., here. Let's have a good fight, Holy Sword. ”

The man known as the "Holy Sword" was already tired just to maintain his body, so he finally said to the empty front:

"Yes, Mr. Nothing."

Memory.

"I heard that you've been looking for the 'Jushen Quadruple' again?"

Kannatsuki naturally sat next to Izaki Shin, opposite Ling Yun, and then tasted "Tianliu", and then asked naturally.

"How do you know?"

Ling Yun tilted his head, thought about it, and then stared at Izaki Shin.

"Don't look at me, that's not what I said."

Nobu Isaki raised his hands in surrender.

"It's not him, that's what I guessed."

Shen Wuyue interjected.

"Guess?"

Ling Yun's eyelids jumped, and there was always a feeling that Shen Wuyue was going to pretend to be 13.

Kannatsuki slowly shook the wine in the cup, and was just about to answer, when Izaki Nobu suddenly said:

"Brother, I still have to take a sip, don't shake it."

"Uh-"

Shen Wuyue put down the wine in his hand and began to say:

"Is the knife you are using now to cut the moon? According to my strong intelligence sources, if I'm not mistaken, Slash Moon is a copy that was discovered by a small guild ten days ago: the drop of the boss in the Cobblestone Circle. Although I don't know how you got this knife, according to my research on equipment, if you want to talk about the Moon Slashing Advancement, what you need is the 'Jushen Quadruple'. ”

Shen Wuyue stared at Ling Yun, wanting to see his reaction.

"Yes! This thing is really troublesome! ”

Ling Yun said indifferently.

"Forehead ......."

Izaki shrugged his shoulders helplessly, as if to say:

"Give it up. You can't scare him. ”

Shen Wuyue could only say helplessly:

"It's a lot of trouble, but—"

Shen Wuyue turned her face in front of Ling Yun and continued:

"I know a place where the 'Jushen Quadruple' is definitely grown."

"Where?"

Ling Yun was immediately attracted.

"But that place is still a certain amount of difficulty, the monsters inside are very strong, even so, you still want to go?"

Kamino Moon said lightly, playing with the wine glass again, it seemed that it was none of his business at all.

"If you don't want to fight stronger creatures, even if you get better weapons, then the original intention of becoming stronger in the first place is meaningless."

Ling Yun smiled.

"Oh? That's what you said. ”

Shen Wuyue put down the wine glass, stood up, left a back, and said:

"I'll send you the coordinates later, please let me look forward to it, don't let me down."

With that, he took a few steps into the kitchen again.

"Are you really going? Or are you alone? ”

Izaki Shinbu took a bite of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Of course you have to go, since he said it's difficult, you have to use another method."

Ling Yun stretched, then picked up his chopsticks and said again:

"I didn't say that I had to break the dungeon alone, you go and call me a few helpers, and I'll set off tomorrow!"

Ling Yun's eyes lit up with fighting spirit.

"I knew it wasn't that simple.... (=.=)”

Izaki Nobunaga breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately Lingyun didn't insist on going alone.

The aroma of the meal finally attracted the two of them.

"Let's eat first!"

Shen Wuyue came out of nowhere.

"I'm moving!"

Izaki Shin said first, followed by Ling Yun and Kan Wuyue together:

"I'm moving!"
