In the evening.

We reached the outskirts and stopped two kilometers from the missionary's hideout.

According to the plan, the next step is to let the loser pass first.

Zhu Dark made a simple sigil from the fragments of the wood token, which is similar in function to the original wooden token, which can be used as a coordinate for spatial transfer, and can also synchronize with the wielder's perception, but it is much worse in durability and potency. This sigil will be completely broken after being used once as a spatial coordinate, and the consciousness that comes into sync is very blurred. At most, she can only grasp the current state of the holder, but she cannot clearly feel the five senses of the holder.

But without this sigil, Zhu Yin would not be able to grasp the state of defeat after entering the Western-style Pavilion. According to the information I have learned from the memories of the Red Glove, the Western-style pavilion is now also shrouded in phase space. I didn't even know this information, so I told it to Zhu Dian in private. However, ordinary perceptual synchronization cannot be connected with people in phase space, and even those who are proficient in both space and detection must use the power of this foreign object to do so.

"As soon as you see a missionary, you immediately put your spiritual power into the sigil, and I can feel it here as soon as you do that. Then, I will take it as your summoning signal and transfer it to you with Li Duo. Zhu secretly handed over the sigil to the loser, and openly expressed his distrust, "Don't think about making any small moves, if you dare to betray us, you know the end." ”

"I understand." Discouraged, he accepted the sigil.

"The original wooden token also has the function of perceptual synchronization." I say.

"That's right." Zhu Dian admitted after a second pause, but she didn't argue for herself, "I've been spying on you all along. As for the reason, I guess I don't say it, you know it. Feel free to accuse me of not respecting your privacy. ”

"I didn't mean to accuse you." I said, "I just want to remind you that I've seen this now, so don't do it again next time." ”

"You're such a weirdo." She said, "If you want to pay me for your life, give it to me immediately; And if you don't want compensation, then staying away from me is the best option. 'I will meet your poison and blade from the front, and will never run away or hide', this attitude of yours is contradictory no matter how you look at it. Or do you actually want to die at my hands? ”

"I know my attitude seems tangled, but that's what I really think." I said, "I will neither change my mind nor regret this decision." ”

Hearing this, she said faintly, "You can entangle with me, but I can't." ”

After that, she stopped talking to me, and the loss soon set off.

Watching the figure disappear at the end of the road in the suburbs, I spoke to the sirens in my heart.

"I've already conceived of the plan to defeat the bite of blood mentioned earlier. Your assistance is indispensable in this program, and you can help me see if there are any mistakes or omissions in the details. I said.

"Okay." She said.

"First of all, the reason why we can't activate the 'Soul Burning Mode' in front of biting blood is because the speed at which she seals us is always faster than the speed at which we activate the 'Soul Burning Mode'." I said, "Since she's a super main level warlock, we can't beat her in any matter what, so if you have to launch it, you must only enter the 'Soul Burning Mode' before meeting her." That's the premise of this program. ”

"I think so too. But if you activate the 'Soul Burning Mode' before you even see her face, won't she run away without hesitation? She asked.

"Why did she run away?" I asked rhetorically.

"Because your strength will be increased to the realm of super main force, even on the other side of the city, she will be able to sense the threat you are to her after becoming stronger." She seemed strange at my knowingly asked.

"So, let me make a hypothetical......," I said, "if I activate the 'Soul Burning Mode' but I don't get stronger, will I be able to approach her in a state that maintains the 'Soul Burning Mode'?" ”

"Isn't that a contradiction?" She asked, confused, "It's just to become strong enough to fight her, that's why I activated the 'Soul Burning Mode'." And even if you don't mention this, how can that effect be achieved? Is it a deliberate failure to activate the 'Soul Burn Mode'? But burning souls is inherently dangerous, and if you fail deliberately, your soul may be burned beyond repair in two clicks. ”

"No, what I need you to activate is a successful 'Soul Burn Mode'." I said, "And it's not a complicated process to achieve the effect I mentioned." ”

"How?" She asked curiously.

"You have explained to me before that you strengthen me by burning my soul by dismantling my spirit body to obtain powerful spiritual power." I say.

"Yes." She admitted.

"Then, you say you're the Siren's Blade, or the Siren's Blade's software. Then, when you use the 'smoldering' rune to dismantle my soul, it can also be seen as the siren's blade killing my soul. Isn't that right? I asked.

"That's right." She seemed to nod, "I also said last time in the mirage that the power I use to burn your soul is the true spiritual power of the Siren Blade. ”

"And now you've learned a new ability to absorb spirit fragments, even if it's just a target." I say.

"Hmm. So what's ...... this," she suddenly stopped, and suddenly realized, and at the same time said with great resistance, "Wait, is your plan ...... But, but how can I do that to you? ”

"I want you to devour my soul." I said directly, "The part of my soul that you decomposed with the 'smoldering' rune was devoured by you. In this way, I will not be able to get the slightest reinforcement from the act of burning souls, nor will I be alerted to biting blood, and I will be able to approach biting blood while maintaining the 'Soul Burning Mode'. ”

"And once it starts burning, your spirit body will burst out with a super-power-level output. Even if the output power is devoured by me before you can use it, biting blood can no longer easily seal your soul in a super-main force state......" Her voice grew quieter, "but ......"

"Is it because my soul will be too completely disintegrated at that time, not a fragment of a spirit, but a spiritual power, so you can't devour it?" Although I asked, I actually knew her concerns.

"Not the problem. Even if I can't devour your spiritual power directly, I can devour the parts of your spirit body that are already torn apart before they can disintegrate into the final stage. "I just...... Just don't want to devour your soul. ”

"However, this is the only way to defeat the bite of blood." I said, "When I'm close to biting blood, you stop devouring and let the enhanced effect come back to me...... I'm sorry, I know this is nonsense, but I can't think of a better way. ”

She was silent for a moment and then said, "Actually, you know that I am not another you. ”

"I know." I say.

"I even ...... I don't even have to be a siren blade. She seemed to have mustered up great courage, "Although I am now integrated with your Siren's Blade and use the power of your Siren's Blade, ...... To you, I may well be something of unknown origin and inexplicable......"

"I know." I say.

"All this time, I lied to you." She said.

"I've known this for a long time." I say.

"So, if I'm a bad guy, even if you shout stop, I don't stop, just to greedily eat more, even the part that shouldn't be eaten?" She asked.

"I always accept your help, but I never give anything back to you." I said, "If you think I'm delicious, then whatever you want to eat, I'll give it to you." ”

She stubbornly asked, "What if I eat it all and don't even care if you die?" ”

"Would you do that?" I asked.

"I would never do that." She said, "But—"

"Sirens." I said, "My soul will be handed over to you." ”

After a while, her voice sounded solemnly in my head again, "Leave it to me." ”

After a period of time, Zhu Dian confirmed that he had entered the phase space where the Western-style Pavilion was located through the information fed back by the sigil.

The loser should be about to reach out to the missionaries.

Information about the missionaries came to my mind.

Since he is good at puppet spells, it is not surprising that there are many battle puppets in the mansion he is in. I also encountered that type of opponent during the Majin period, and the tricky part is that the golem is just a prop after all, so unlike killing a clone, even if you kill a puppet with a siren blade, you can't kill the puppeteer in the air.

However, in the memory of the Red Gloves, there are actually no other puppets in the Western-style Pavilion. This is because the missionary has invested almost all of the puppet material resources into himself, transforming himself into a main-level battle puppet with strong combat power.

I think it's a good way to do that. Instead of creating a hundred puppets with one combat power, it is better to create a puppet with one hundred combat power. It's like a person with ten times the physical quality of an ordinary person can deal with far more than ten ordinary people at the same time, this is because the density of power is different, and the concentrated power is stronger than the scattered force.

Moreover, no matter how well the general commands the legion like an arm, it is not as good as really using his own arm. A strong self is more reliable than a powerful external object. As long as there are no unacceptable side effects, transforming yourself into a puppet doesn't sound so good. However, this is just my perception from the perspective of a battleman, and I wonder what I would think of it if I were someone who is good at managing organizational forces.

At this moment, Zhu Dian let out a surprised voice, "What? ”

"What's wrong?" I immediately asked.

"Somewhere the loss stopped moving, and then ...... He was attacked? She said incredulously, "What is the missionary going to do with the loss?" ”

"The plan is exposed?" I also realized that the situation was urgent, "Is the sigil still there?" Is it possible to transfer the past now? ”

"Yes." She grabbed my arm.

At the same time, I called out to the sirens in my heart, "Let's go." ”

Once a missionary dies, the bite of blood will be lost. To prevent this, she would certainly focus on the safety of the missionaries. If I rush into the mansion, there is a good chance that I will be stopped by her. Therefore, I had to enter "Soul Burn Mode" in advance.

The moment Zhu Dark grabbed my arm, I felt my soul ignited by the siren.

The familiar pain boiled inside my soul, almost evaporating my consciousness. But this time, I didn't get strength from the pain of the overturn, because all the decomposed souls were devoured by the sirens. Under the experience of hell in front of my eyes, my vision also changed drastically, from the roadside in the suburbs to a classical Western-style study.

Inside the study, he fell to the ground covered in blood, apparently unconscious.

On the other side, at the desk at the end, stood a bald man with round-rimmed glasses, none other than the missionary!

As soon as he saw me and Zhu Dark, he immediately turned around without saying a word, as if trying to escape.

And Zhu Di quickly activated the spatial transfer again. This time she simply shifted herself, disappearing from the spot, unable to capture her breath and whereabouts anymore. Her purpose was undoubtedly to hide first, so as not to disturb my fight with the missionaries.

However, the ordinary main warlock is no longer my opponent today.

Before the missionary could step out of his legs, I didn't hesitate to rush behind him and slash at his head at the same time.

With just one blow, his head was split open on the spot.

Got it!

I felt the spirit fragments enter the inside of the Siren's Blade.

And just then, an incomparably deadly killing force erupted from behind my flank. I reflexively made a motion to block with my weapon, and immediately felt the familiar force crash into the weapon. The force shattered my entire torso to pieces.

I was knocked upside down and flew out, crashing through the wall of the study to another room, and then continuing to crash through another wall at an unabated pace. I don't know how many walls I destroyed along the way, but I even flew out of the mansion and fell into a greenhouse-like facility outside.

I quickly regenerated my body and regrouped my stance, and when I looked up, I saw a very familiar figure in the distance.

A girl with long white hair, a black dress, and bright red eyes slowly walked through the breach in the greenhouse.

The bite of blood appeared.
