184. The collective killing of the players of the Jade Dragon Banner
After sending the Mizuhashi school girl back to the room, Makoto Kyushu took a bath. Since the classmates in the room were already asleep, Kyushu Makoto went to the game room to play darts for a while, bought a bottle of mineral water, and sat on the sofa in the hall and looked at his mobile phone.
After replying to a few important messages, Makoto Kyushu turned off his phone, leaned back on the sofa and sighed.
The real estate company just sent him another text message, saying that he was asking him to consider whether to buy the apartment directly. The price offered by the other party is already the lowest price in the market, which is considered an internal discount for the members of Yinyangliao, unless there is another economic bubble crisis in the country of Wano, otherwise it will definitely make a profit and not lose money.
In fact, according to the current economic conditions of Kyushu Cheng, as long as you take out some loans, it is more than enough to buy this house. But he still has some concerns, such as whether the house is comfortable to live in, whether there are any hidden dangers, whether there will be any traps in the purchase contract, and whether there will be a shortage of funds after the loan
To sum up, he is still ready to live for a while before deciding whether to buy it or not. Anyway, the house will not run away, and as a tenant here, he has the highest level of purchase priority, and no one else can take it away.
It's not early, and Makoto Kyushu is ready to go back to his room to rest. Although he is not a participant, he will follow the whole race tomorrow, and the physical exertion is very high.
"Bell bell bell ~"
The door of the inn opened, causing a crisp wind chime.
Kiyomiya Eliza walked in with heavy steps, her face visibly tired and displeased.
"Miss Qinggong, did you have an urgent mission just now?" Kyushu Cheng got up and accosted:
"I see you're in a hurry, and you haven't had time to find the money."
As he spoke, he took out a few bills and a handful of loose coins from his pocket and handed them to Eliza.
Eliza had dropped a 10,000-dollar bill and ran away - it was a bit too extravagant to buy two comic weekly, and the shopkeeper, who had never seen anything in the market, was stunned on the spot, and didn't dare to take the money, for fear that it was the stolen money left by a gangster.
Fortunately, Makoto Kyushu stepped forward in time to explain that he was a friend of the girl, and asked the shopkeeper for change on her behalf, which cleared up the misunderstanding.
Eliza glanced at the change, smashed her mouth a little funny, and said indifferently: "It's really a boring behavior, you can use it yourself." ”
Makoto Kyushu was also polite, and pulled Eliza's pocket open without authorization and stuffed all the money into it.
Even in the poorest days, Kyushu Makoto has a backbone, and he can only eat white food as a last resort, but he definitely doesn't eat the food that comes from him.
"You guy" Eliza was taken aback, and her drooping eyebrows were a little aggrieved: "Forget it, you stone man who doesn't know the so-called stone, I should get used to you." ”
After calming down, Eliza coughed lightly and said, "I heard that you also brought a team of students over to participate in the Jade Dragon Banner. ”
"Yes, it's all classmates from our school." Kyushu Cheng nodded and said, "I can be regarded as their bodyguard, but I also took the opportunity to travel." ”
"Huh, bodyguard? The high school students in your school are really extravagant~" Eliza joked and asked seriously, "Then you have all your weapons with you, right?" ”
"I've brought it all," Makoto Kyushu said with a serious expression: "Fukuoka is now a Class C disaster, so I can't come here empty-handed." ”
"It's good, it looks like you've got a bit of a brain." Eliza nodded in satisfaction, and admonished:
"You pay more attention to your classmates in the past two days and protect them well until the end of the competition."
"What's going on?" Kyushu Makoto sensed that there was something in the other party's words: "Please make it clear." ”
Eliza sat on the sofa and exhaled, and said lightly: "Tonight, several Jade Dragon Banner players have encountered accidents one after another. ”
"Accident?" Makoto Kyushu wondered.
"One of them got soapy feet in the bathroom, two got food poisoning while eating takeout at the accommodation, and a few of them were walking on the road and were hit by a stone or a flower pot. None of these victims will be able to participate in tomorrow's game. Eliza shook her head and sighed:
"And the attackers all have one thing in common, they are all players who have advanced from today's preliminaries, and most of them are the main players of their respective schools, and there are also many seeded players who were favored before the game."
Any one of these events alone can be said to be "accidental". But if such incidents happen too often, one has to wonder about the relevance. ”
After listening to this, Makoto Kyushu thought for a moment and asked, "You rushed over in a hurry just now, is it because of this incident?" ”
"That's right, that unlucky guy is also a contestant who made the cut, and he was knocked out by a flower pot in front of the hotel." Eliza skimmed the hair of her bangs:
"Then, we found traces of spiritual power near the scene, as well as several not-so-natural spider silks. Although there are spiders in this area, we have detected a faint spiritual power on the spider silk, which is why it arouses suspicion. ”
"Then you mean that the murder of these players is not a coincidence, but someone secretly planned it." Kyushu Cheng carefully analyzed:
"And there's a good chance they're killing spirit species."
"That's right, Yin Yang Liao has issued an investigation commission for this series of incidents. Considering the current special situation in Fukuoka, the entrusted positioning is Class B. Eliza stretched, yawned softly, and said:
"In short, the task of our security personnel is going to be heavier again."
"Is there anything I can do?" Makoto Kyushu immediately asked.
Anyway, he is also a member of Yin Yang Liao, and he has entrusted many times without fail, so there must be something that can help.
"This investigation commission is Class B, you are not qualified to accept the commission, and there is nothing that needs you." Eliza decisively refused:
"You just enjoy your trip and take care of your classmates, which is a great help."
"Is it particularly difficult to entrust Class B?" Kyushu Cheng didn't give up: "Even if I'm a C-level person, I can play a little role, right?" Besides, if I help you complete this task, you should be able to earn a lot of points and level up as soon as possible. ”
"You guy, haven't you learned the points rules of Yin Yang Liao well?" Eliza said coldly:
"Listen, you can't get any rewards for completing the commission across levels, and you can't even get a little point and a penny."
"Why?" Makoto Kyushu was taken aback.
Eliza sighed and explained helplessly:
"Yinyangliao does not encourage members to do higher than their own level of entrustment, on the one hand, it is to prevent high-level members from quickly brushing points with low-level members and upgrading through improper means; On the other hand, it is to ensure the safety of the members and prevent the pretentious Leng Touqing from killing himself. ”
"But... Is this level really that important? Kyushu Makoto was puzzled: "Just because I'm not Class B, I can't participate in the mission?" ”
Makoto Kyushu has teamed up with Eliza for a while, and he knows her strength quite well, so he feels that her strength is not much different from his own.
Why can't she do the tasks she can do after she is promoted to the rank? Could it be that after being promoted, he will automatically fly to Superman or what?
The so-called hierarchy, in the final analysis, is just a matter of seniority, why should it be so serious?
Eliza also seemed to see through Makoto Kyushu's thoughts, and asked, "In your opinion, my strength is on par with yours, right?" ”
Makoto Kyushu hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Even if you count her bizarre talisman technique, Kyushu Cheng is confident to have a fight with her. If he can match Kyushu Cheng with some more powerful equipment and props, Eliza may not be his opponent.
"You're right, I don't want to fight you unless I have to. But do you know what is the most important weapon for a high-level soul removalist? Eliza asked herself:
"Knowledge and experience, that's what makes them stand out."
Eliza asked, "Yesterday the cat again, if I hadn't told you directly, how long do you think it would have taken you to identify its species?" ”
"I'm probably" Makoto Kyushu was stunned for a moment, speechless.
"Yin Yang Liao should have sent you a copy of the Encyclopedia of Spirit Species, have you memorized it all word for word from beginning to end?" Eliza asked again:
"There are at least thousands of monsters recorded in it, and some monsters will have different variants in different regions, times, seasons, and climates, and the methods of dealing with them are completely different. Do you have all this in mind? ”
"Also, even if you memorize it all, will you be able to use this knowledge comfortably and deal with each and every yokai in a textbook manner?" Eliza then asked, "You have only been a soul slayer for a few months, how many commissions have you made, and how much actual combat experience can you have?" ”
Being said like this, Kyushu Makoto also suddenly realized, and suddenly felt extremely ashamed of his arrogant ideas.
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent" is a necessary weapon for every martial artist, Kyushu Makoto was also under the master's teaching to learn the structure of the human body for a long time, and learned from the master of traditional Chinese medicine, learned the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body, and studied how to kill the enemy with one blow by the most efficient means, or let the enemy suffer the ultimate pain without killing people.
It is precisely because of this that Makoto Kyushu is handy in fighting humans, taking the life and death of the enemy into his own hands.
But as Eliza said, Kyushu Cheng has not been in the spirit master industry for a long time, and his understanding of the spirit species is not thorough. Without Eliza, a "little encyclopedia" by his side, it would be difficult for him to even identify the species of monsters in the first place, let alone find the weaknesses of the other party.
Therefore, compared with rushing to the level quickly, Kyushu Cheng really needs to accumulate experience and precipitate himself by slowly doing tasks.
"The promotion assessment of the second level, the random silent writing of the "Encyclopedia of Spirit Species" is one of the quizzes, and this one alone is not something that a three-legged cat like you can pass." Eliza smiled with a 'teachable' smile and patted him on the shoulder:
"Take care of your own safety, and don't let me waste my time trying to save you if something happens. That's the best you can do me, see you later. ”
