The button amulet didn't react in the slightest.

If that's all there is to it, I can assume that the button amulet is malfunctioning, but it's much more serious. The problem was that I wasn't able to put the spirit into the button amulet. I was obviously mobilizing my spirit as usual, but it was as if I was pouring water from an empty cup, and there was not even a trace of half a drop of water on the rim of the cup.

I tried again without believing it, but not only was it useless, but I even felt an extremely intense pain coming from the depths of my spirit body when I was exerting myself, and I fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Don't push yourself anymore." The siren hurriedly stopped me, "Your spirit has been wounded too badly, and doing it again will only make the injury worse." ”

Now I understand what kind of situation I am in. Spirituality is the power of the spirit, but just as a person is unable to do physical work after being seriously injured, the spirit cannot do anything after being severely injured. My spiritual body is nothing short of a rag full of holes, and it is a fluke to be able to sustain the activity of thinking.

Since spirits cannot output spirituality, what about the power of true spirits based on true spirits? I'll take off my tattered shirt and wrap it around my waist for the time being, and try to summon the Siren's Blade again.

But even the Siren Blade can't be summoned. Strictly speaking, I can feel the presence of the Siren Blade, but I can't use the power of the True Spirit to make the Siren Blade form on the material plane. You can't even bless the power of the Siren's Blade to yourself without summoning it. Now I seem to have become an ordinary person with no combat effectiveness.

I reported my situation to the siren, and she was taken aback, then as if she had done some kind of examination, and after a while she said, "The reason why this is probably the case is the destruction of the spirit...... The true spirit is abstract, the physical body is figurative, and the spirit body is the bridge between the two. There is nothing wrong with your true spirit, and there can be no problem, because the concept of the true spirit is immortal, in Buddhist parlance, 'non-action'. However, due to the fact that the spirit that served as a bridge has become devastated, it is no longer possible to channel the power of the true spirit to the real world. ”

"It's the same as if you have a broken arm, you can't carry heavy loads, right?" I got up from the ground, found a stone of the right size in the nearby ruins, and sat down as a stool.

"Yes. However, the call between me and you is still unaffected. Although the call also depends on this 'bridge', the burden on you is almost non-existent. She said.

I didn't expect that burning souls would have such serious sequelae. But also, after all, it is not surprising that even if you burn yourself to death, even if you are close to death, if there are no serious sequelae, it is unreasonable.

This problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible. As I felt the burning pain all over my spirit, I continued to ask, "Can I repair my spirit now?" ”

"I can't do it, I can only wait slowly for the spirit to recover on its own." She said regretfully.

"Why?" I asked.

The super-fast regenerative power supported by the Siren's blade is supposed to be more than just repairing the flesh. In fact, the warlocks' attacks are mainly based on spiritual power, and they can not only kill the body, but also kill the spirit. If over-speed regeneration can't repair spirits without discrimination, where can I fight to this day?

"Because I am the Siren's Blade, and it was I who burned your soul with the 'smoldering' rune." "In other words," she said, "it's like the power of the true spirit is killing you." And what this means, you should be very clear. ”

"I thought that the nature of my own True Spirit Power would not work for me." I say.

"It's not going to work. Otherwise, it is not necessary to recover slowly, but never to recover. She said in a tone of admonition, "This is the use of the power of the true spirit to burn your own soul from the depths of your soul, and it is good to be able to end up like this." ”

Of course I know that. It's just that the thought of paying such a tragic price and not being able to cause the slightest damage to the bite of blood inevitably gives birth to a strong feeling of unwillingness.

Looking back at the battle at that time, even if the evasion speed of biting blood was really fast, it should have been impossible to dodge. It is very likely that she relied on her super awareness of malice and danger to penetrate my "battle hiding" at the moment when I was about to strike, and she was able to escape with her whole body. In other words, if the opponent is not biting blood, but other super main level, I may have won.

But that kind of "if" can only comfort yourself, so let's focus on reality first.

It was then that I sensed an aura approaching me from behind. I immediately became alert, and immediately realized that it was not an unfamiliar breath. Turning his head, he saw that it was Mingyi.

"Are you alright? Just now, there was a spiritual fluctuation far beyond the main force level nearby, could it be that you encountered a bite of blood? He walked over briskly, and asked in shock, "Did you fight with Bite Blood?" ”

"As you can see." I showed him what I was wearing.

"My clothes are torn, and there's so much blood...... "He looked at my body, "but you don't seem to be hurt?" ”

"Let's recover." I say.

"Where's the bite?" He asked.

"She retreated." I say.

"Retreat? Why...... No, let's move to a safe place first, if you have something to say on the way. He said quickly.

"Okay." I responded simply, and then followed him away.

However, although it is said that I want to follow him to a safe place, at this moment, it seems to me that the person who is most likely to bring me danger at the moment is him.

Before the war with Bite Blood, she said something to me - "I've been waiting for you for a long time".

I always cared for that, because she waited there as if she knew I was going to be on that street.

The problem is, the one who took me to that street to collect supplies and proposed to split up was Naruyoshi. And I was bitten immediately after parting ways with him. Is this really a coincidence?

Of course, the truth may be a bit of a mouthful, or it may be that I have misinterpreted it, and it is not a smart judgment to doubt my partner just because the enemy said something casually.

However, once the suspicion began, it was difficult to suppress, and I couldn't help but quickly go through all the interactions I had had with Naruyoshi since I met him, and then I found something deeply hidden, and extremely discordant. If it weren't for the suspicion now, I wouldn't have noticed that he was so suspicious.

The doubt in my heart made me involuntarily stop, and Naruto turned back in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Excuse me, can you answer me a question?" I asked.

"If you have any questions, you can wait until you get to a safe place." He said.

I turned a deaf ear and just asked myself, "Who the hell is that mysterious main-level warlock?" ”

"What?" He was suspicious.

"The one who hides his identity, while slaughtering the demon warlock, is also slaughtering the main warlock of the law enforcement warlock." I said, "You told me when you mentioned that man that he wasn't a super-main warlock, so he wasn't biting blood; At the same time, because the fanatics are in the radio tower all the time, it can't be fanatics. ”

"That's right. Is there anything wrong with this? He asked curiously.

"Then, because Juzhong is dead, that person can't be Juzhong either." I continued.

"Of course." He said.

I threw out the most critical question, "So, why isn't that person me?" ”

Hearing this, his eyes changed.

——

When Naruto mentioned the mysterious main warlock to me, I naturally thought about the question "Are there any other main warlocks in the mirage market?", and I thought of myself immediately.

Of course, I knew I couldn't be the mysterious mainstay warlock, so the thought was just half-jokingly spinning around in my head.

But Naruto couldn't have known.

From his point of view, I was a dubious law enforcement warlock who had joined the Security Service by accident, a psychopathic murderer who had been indiscriminately slaughtering and feeding anything outside of people, whether male or female, old or young, mortal or warlock, for the past five years. The handwritten letter that I had asked me to hand over to him was nothing more than a few words of praise that tickled my body, and there was no testimony in it that would convince him that I was not a mysterious main-level warlock.

It is known that there have been four warlocks above the main level in the mirage, namely the fanatic, the biting blood, the sentence weight, and me. After ruling out the first three possibilities, I was the only suspect.

"But, you didn't doubt me." I said, "Why?" ”

"How do you know I didn't doubt you?" Mingyi frowned and said, "Besides, didn't you just enter the mirage market for a long time?" In terms of time, it is impossible to commit a crime. ”

"Admittedly, it didn't take long for me to claim to have just entered the mirage, but before other people's testimonies appeared, that kind of alibi was at best my words, and whether I said it or not was not enough to win people's trust. And you, as someone who had many years of experience in frontline law enforcement in secular society, directly revealed to me that you had a shelter with thousands of people that you had spent a lot of time and energy to build, and even brought me there without hesitation. If that's what you do when you're suspicious of others, then I don't know what you're going to do when you trust others. I said, "And speaking of other people's testimonies, you had plenty of opportunities to ask me from other people before you brought us to the Vault, but you didn't do that at all." Why don't you say that you really didn't think of my suspicion? In that case, I might think you're just confused. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" He asked.

"You know who that mysterious workhorse warlock is. So no matter how suspicious I am, you know very well that I'm not suspicious. I said, "And the reason why you informed me of his existence from the moment we met was because you knew that even if I didn't say it, I could catch the man's activity elsewhere at any time." Rather than making people suspicious at that time, it is better to explain it to me from the beginning. In fact, I did confirm the existence of this person by some means. ”

He was silent.

"But here's another question, how did you know his identity?" I continued, "Judging by the fact that he killed both law enforcement warlocks and demon warlocks, he must be from the fanatic camp. And since you will call him a mysterious main warlock in your conversation with me, it means that in your opinion, his true identity is information that you should not ......know as a 'law enforcement warlock Naruyoshi'."

"Are you trying to say that I'm actually from the fanatic camp?" He asked.

"I wasn't aware of her presence until I showed up. If she had spotted me on the road and followed me, I wouldn't have found me. So she's been here waiting for me from the beginning. I said, "And here you led the way to bring me." Did the bite of blood make you do this? ”

He said noncommittally, "Why can't it be that you bite blood and have some kind of foreknowledge that you will be here today?" ”

"She does have the ability to foresee dreams, but she's cautious and knows my special abilities. Until she actually fights me and judges the gap between us, she can't include me in the scope of foreseeing the future. I said firmly.

"Yes......" At this moment, he may have a lot to say to defend himself, but in the end he gave up, "Originally, I wanted to take you to another easy place to kill you." Since it's exposed, there's no way to do it, so I'll kill you here. ”

He no longer disguised, but clenched the bronze mace. Despite all the things I've said before, I'm still unsure of whether my guess is correct. Because I didn't perceive any malice in him from beginning to end that matched my assumptions. But, at this moment, under my watchful gaze, he suddenly revealed a strong malice against my life, and I truly realized that he was undoubtedly my enemy.

With such strong malice, how has he so far been hidden in front of me?

"Do you think you can kill me?" I asked.

"Stop bluffing." "It's not just you're watching my reaction, I'm watching you," he said. Although you look unscathed, you can't really have no problems after fighting the kind of guy who bites blood, and now you give me the feeling that you are really too weak, as expected, you should have only repaired your body, not ...... Or rather, I can't repair my spirit for the time being. ”

"How much more power do you have now? It's not uncommon for a warlock to lose his strength forever because of a heavy blow to his spirit, and even if you hadn't fallen to that point, you would definitely not be able to fight people anymore. Even if I leave you here, there's a good chance you'll die a humiliating death under the fangs of the devil. He continued, "But I'm still going to kill you with my own hands to be safe." I used to worry about whether the fanatic's plan would fail, but after six months of observation, I finally understood that no one could thwart the fanatical believer's plan. And you can miraculously survive from the power of a super main warlock, if it were you, maybe there was a 1 in 10,000 chance that you could stop the fanatic......"

"I will not allow that kind of thing." With a slam of his palm, the entire bronze mace shattered, revealing the weapons hidden inside the bronze wedge.

It was a rapier, a rapier that bites blood.

The moment he held this thin sword, from his body, a main force-level spiritual fluctuation erupted.
