"The [Hunting Sword] is classified as a mourning god, and its fighting style is dominated by swordsmanship of unknown genre, and it is extremely hostile to humans." Eliza Kiyomiya swiped the screen with her skinny fingers and released a photo:

It usually appears as a samurai at the end of the Bakudo period, less than 1.6 meters tall and wearing a white mask, wearing a katana. It moves randomly around various areas of Tokyo, its trajectory is unknown, and it only appears at night. ”

It specializes in hunting women who work in customs, hence the code name "Hunting Knife". ”

Makoto Kyushu took a closer look at the photo. This photo was taken at night, and the screen shook so much that only a ghost-faced figure with a knife could barely be seen.

However, he is very sure that the person in the photo is the murderer who attacked Liang Gong Chu.

"Does it have any weaknesses?" Makoto Kyushu asked, "Although I don't know much about killing spirits, the most effective way to defeat the enemy is to attack weak points. ”

When Kyushu Cheng learned martial arts since he was a child, his master taught him the truth of "beating a snake and hitting seven inches, and fighting people kicking the crotch first". In a real battle of life and death, only a preemptive attack on the vital point is the master's doing.

He already knew all the "weaknesses" of humans, but he didn't know anything about the weaknesses of youkai.

"Hmph, your idea is good, and it deserves praise." Qinggong Eliza nodded her chin inconspicuously, and stretched out her finger to her forehead:

"The human soul is stored in the brain, so once the brain is destroyed, the person dies immediately. The same is true for spirit species, whose greatest weakness is where their souls are stored. ”

"Their souls are in the brain, too?" Kyushu asked.

"No, they don't theoretically have a brain at all." Qing Gong Eliza took out three more talismans from her pocket and stuffed them into Kyushu Cheng's hand:

"Each spirit species has a different location where its soul is stored, and it is difficult to find it directly. The most common way is to wear off its stamina first, and when it is exhausted, attach this "Vision" to it. This way you will be able to see the aura in its body and find the source of the soul."

As she spoke, Eliza of the Qing Palace made a slashing gesture with her hand as a knife:

"Then, as long as you destroy its soul with enough spiritual power, the spirit species will die~ very simple."

General Kyushu Cheng took the talisman suspiciously: "That's what all soul slayers do?" ”

"Although the techniques and props are different, this is basically the step." Kiyomiya Eliza says:

"After solving the monster, I found the contact number of the Public Security Demon Hunting Section in the memo on my work mobile phone, and asked them to send someone to deal with the aftermath and evaluate, and this commission is over."

"I guess I understand." Makoto Kyushu nodded.

It seems that it is much more difficult to fight with the "spirit species" than humans, and he still has a lot to learn from Kyushu Makoto humbly warns himself.

Immediately, Kyushu Makoto asked again: "Since the movement trajectory of the [Hunting Sword] is unknown, how can we find it?" ”

"Use this." Eliza took out a silver suitcase from under her seat, quickly unfastened the buckle and opened it.

In the suitcase was a purple-skinned severed arm, which was not bleeding, but emitting a faint black gas.

Strangely, the severed hand moved the moment the box was opened, and its fingers and wrists twitched violently, making a sticky and terrifying sound, like a fish bouncing and struggling on a cutting board.

There were several red characters attached to the severed arm, as if it had been sealed in place.

"Isn't this my ripped off arm?" Makoto Kyushu recognized it immediately.

"That's right, I asked the Metropolitan Police Department for it. Thanks to your performance last night, I was able to catch the [Hunting Knife]. Qinggong Eliza nodded, closed the box with force, relocked it, and pasted a talisman on it.

"Part of the body of the spirit species is made up of spiritual power. In other words, this arm is part of its strength. She looked up and asked:

"For example, if you lose your wallet, what is your first reaction?"

"Get it back, of course." Kyushu Cheng replied immediately, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be that that monster also wants to recover this arm?" ”

"I've now attached a special talisman to this ghost hand to shield it from fluctuations in spiritual power." Kiyomiya Eliza explains:

"If I tear all the talismans off, the [Hunter Knife] will soon be able to sense the position of the arm and try to take it back."

"So we're going to use this severed hand as bait to lure it out?" Makoto Kyushu confirmed.

"I'll find a place with few people tonight to set up the bait and wait for it to fall into the net." Kiyomiya Eliza leaned lightly on the back of her chair, as if she wanted to close her eyes and pretend to sleep for a while.

"Wait a minute!" Kyushu Makoto wondered: "Since we already have a way to make it fall into the net, why do we still take the risk to fight it?" ”

"What do you mean?" Kiyomiya Eliza opened one eye and frowned slightly.

"I remember that the guidebook said that there is a militarized supernatural countermeasure self-defense force within the Public Security Demon Hunting Section, and there are also security forces within the Yinyangliao." Makoto Kyushu stared at her face and proposed:

"Wouldn't it be better if we just handed over the severed arm to the officials and let them send the army to deal with it? It's definitely more reliable than the two of us in an ambush. ”

“.” Qinggong Eliza seemed to be persuaded for a moment, but she quickly said resolutely: "No. ”

"Why?" Makoto Kyushu asked rhetorically.

She hesitated for a moment and replied, "If it is handed over to the police, the points will be reduced." ”

"You mean you'd rather choose a high-stakes approach than give up points?" Makoto Kyushu became more and more troubled.

"Don't you know about me?" The girl sighed, and her tone became displeased:

"I'm aiming for the master, so I need more points. I'll take the lead, and if you're scared, quit. ”

"Are you so obsessed with points?" Kyushu Makoto shook his head boringly: "But you really have something to say, and you're not afraid of making me angry." ”

"It's not that I can't lie, it's just that I don't need to lie to a passerby like you." Qinggong Eliza continued to lean back in her chair and said:

"You'll soon be a stranger to me anyway, and there's no point in socializing with you, it doesn't matter whether you please or annoy you."

Her gaze darkened visibly, but she deliberately maintained a high-minded tone.

There was silence in the car, and the two of them seemed to have nothing to talk about.

"So what's your reply?" Half a minute later, Qinggong Eliza urged: "If you don't want to participate in the mission, get out of the car now." ”

"Are you determined to gamble your life for points?" Makoto Kyushu asked rhetorically.

"My decision will not change." She replied.

"And what do you think are the odds of winning?" Kyushu asked.

"According to the known information, if the ambush is arranged in advance, there is a sixty percent chance that I can win a head-to-head with it, and a forty percent probability that I can kill it on the spot." Qinggong Eliza's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly:

"If you are counted, there should be a seven-to-eighty-ten chance of winning."

"That's too low, do you dare to win with such a little odds?" Makoto Kyushu exclaimed.

"That's already a high odds, what else do you want?" She asked puzzled.

"I'll only make a move if I have a ninety to ten percent chance of winning." Makoto Kyushu replied.

"It turned out to be a coward." Qinggong Eliza smiled contemptuously, and remotely opened the passenger door: "Go down, don't be a soul slayer if you are timid." ”

Kyushu Cheng also got out of the car very happily, but took out a few pieces of rune paper and shook it before closing the door:

"For the sake of what you gave me, I have a way to increase the odds to 90% or even 10%, do you want to hear it?"
