Chapter 165: The Shroud of Light and Darkness

As soon as Ji Xun returned to the Lion City, he separated from Dong Qi.

His current identity is very sensitive, and although he is out of danger temporarily, he is also in great trouble in the future.

Bureau X, Cao Family, Lionheart Family, Golden Oak Security Company

If you really want your identity to be exposed, you feel that almost all the big forces in the city are enemies.

But Ji Xundao didn't feel bad.

On the contrary, he felt that such a dangerous life made him feel like a hunter hiding in a dark forest where slow beasts were fierce.

But this feeling of being a solo hunter is difficult to experience with others.

Dong Qi also knew.

She went to the station alone and boarded the nearest train back to the City of Innocence.

After all, she was going to embark on her own path to study as a mechanic.

This parting, to see each other or not, is already a very important part of life for both of them.

And Ji Xun went to the hunter inn that had been rented before to prevent accidents.

Iris Inn, room 209.

After Ji Xun entered the door, he finally endured a mouthful of old blood all the way and spurted out.

"Cell Activity Boiling" does not cure all pain.

It's not that the level of this Demon God Forbidden Technique is not high enough.

Rather, he got the version, which was the fragment that the "plague doctor" Hesse realized from the bronze fragments.

It is also impossible to expect a second-order card master to have too high a comprehension at the law level, and the disadvantages will be obvious for the injuries caused by some high-level laws.

The previous battle was not easy for him.

The feeling of weakness after the fury hit like a landslide at this moment.

Looking at the gray hair on his head in the mirror, he grinned and didn't take it seriously.

After pouring himself two high-grade healing potions, Ji Xun sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

By the way, I took out the booklet that recorded the "Supreme Body" and flipped through it.

When he fought with Detective Robin before, he touched the threshold of this Demon God Forbidden Technique, and that feeling made him have endless memories.

He wanted to look for that feeling of being in the clouds again, to see if he could go any further.

This meditation is half an hour.

"Ah, it's still hard."

Ji Xun looked at the tricks recorded in the booklet in front of him, and his eyes showed a little helplessness.

In addition to the entrance tips that I forcibly comprehended before, if I want to comprehend the higher ones later, I am almost confused.

It felt like there was a ladder before him, helping him climb up and see the scenery behind the high wall.

Now that the ladder is gone, all of a sudden it is out of sight.

You can only rely on memory, recalling a little before you saw it.

But it's not all bad news.

I've seen the scenery from a high place, and my vision and cognition have been raised a lot.

Occasionally, inspiration strikes, a jump, and a glimpse of it.

And Ji Xun always has a feeling that his understanding of the Demon Mark [JOKER] seems to be a little deeper.

He didn't even realize it at the moment, he had already touched the "magic solution".

But the feeling was ethereal, like grasping a big cloud.

I felt like I had caught it, but I looked at it and wanted to make sure, but I found that my hand was empty.

After working hard for a long time, he never regained that familiar feeling, Ji Xun's eyes lit up slightly, and he sighed slightly in his heart: "Tsk. It's really greedy. ”

I have tried twice to touch the "great feeling" in the limit of life and death, and this indescribable feeling makes people feel more and more addictive.

I wish there would be a next time.

With a turn of thought, he once again immersed himself in meditation and insight.

But before I knew it, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

Ji Xun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became alert.

The room he chose was in the corner of the hallway, and it was supposed that no other guests would come by.

But the footsteps outside the door went all the way to the door of 209.

Forthwith.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk"

There was a knock on the door.

Ji Xun had already smelled the smell of someone coming.

But it's because I smell it that I think it's very strange.

He got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Dong Qi's pretty face appear in front of him.

Hey?

Ji Xun was instantly puzzled in his heart.

Calculating the time, Dong Qi should already be on the train back to Innocence City by now.

How did it end up here?

The two looked at each other for a moment, but Ji Xun was stunned in an instant.

He pretended to be puzzled and asked quietly, "Why did you come back?" ”

At the same time, Ji Xun exclaimed in his heart: It's really a perfect disguise.

The figure, appearance, temperament, and even the breath are all exactly the same.

If it weren't for the fact that they looked at each other and found that the emotions in their eyes were wrong, Ji Xun really thought that Dong Qi was back.

But apparently, no.

Who else could have such a perfect camouflage but the Silver Moon Leader?

Ji Xun said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and pulled "Dong Qi" at the door in.

Suddenly had a bad taste in his heart, and the moment he closed the door, he didn't give people a chance to speak, and directly slammed the human wall on the wall.

Then a pair of big hands are not idle, and the hand is gentle and delicate.

Even the skin feels the same.

I don't know how to imitate that "Thousand Variations".

But this kind of intimate action is the daily routine with Dong Qi, and Ji Xun is also extremely familiar.

If you want to continue the disguise, then see who can hold out to the end.

Seeing that he had already penetrated into the placket of his clothes, it was obvious that it was impossible for the Silver Moon Leader to disguise it any longer.

She looked indifferent and said, "Since you have found out, this is the end of it?" ”

"Huh."

Ji Xun chuckled and stopped.

It's like a joke, and it's like a vicious anger in the heart of revenge.

Neither of them cared.

This Ji Xun who can find the door is not surprised at all.

I have the "Secret Book of the Silver Moon" in my own hands.

This is the treasure of the Silver Moon Sect.

It's not surprising that you can sense it as a leader.

And the most important point is that this is also a flaw deliberately left by Ji Xun.

Now there are almost so many enemies in the Lion City, but the Silver Moon Sect is a reliable shield in front of them.

His identity as a "double-faced undercover" is known to the leader of the Silver Moon.

The only thing that does not see the light is his ability to be 100% free from the contamination of faith.

But only Xie Guozhong knows this.

Before exposure, there is still room for maneuver.

He was also curious about what the Silver Moon Sect was going to do.

Ji Xun killed the tracking team in Game X before, and it was one thing to be interested.

There is also a layer of deep meaning, which is made for this person.

From the moment he discovered the anomaly, he had guessed that the Silver Moon Leader might have suspected something.

You have to do something to make sure that the other person doesn't doubt your position.

Ji Xun didn't have much awe because the other party was the leader, he sat back on the bed by himself, and asked casually, "What happened before?" ”

The Silvermoon Leader calmly explained, "The people of Bureau X made a game with the Lionheart family before, deliberately exposing that 'Angel Feather'. Originally, I wanted to exterminate us all together. It just so happened that I had the channel to learn about this plan. And we need that feather too."

She didn't shy away from it at all, and told the cause and effect of the incident.

The summary is just four words, and it will be counted.

She had known for a long time that this was a bureau.

It's just that I didn't say it to Ji Xun.

Although he guessed it, Ji Xun sneered when he heard it: "Heh, I almost died." ”

There was no hiding his dissatisfaction in his tone: Do you have news and don't say it in advance?

The Silver Moon Leader's expression remained unchanged when he listened, and he also said, "Aren't you not dead?" ”

After a pause, she added, "What's more. To be able to lay down my life for the great Lord Arakne is also an honor for me as a great god. If there were any accidents, I would have done the same. ”

Ji Xun heard that this guy had moved out of the name of a god again, and he didn't say anything more.

He instead asked, "So, are you here?" ”

The Silver Moon Leader said, "Now that the seal has been opened, it has also attracted many masters to explore the ruins. We need to find an opportunity to get the angel's body in our hands as much as we can. There's something else."

Predictable.

Ji Xun was also very interested in the seal thousands of years ago, and took the opportunity to ask, "What is at the bottom of the cave?" ”

The leader of the silver moon also sat cross-legged on the other side of the bed and said, "I don't know the specifics. Everything we are doing now is following the instructions of the will of the gods. And Lao Duan went to investigate just now, and there were too many unknown dangers hidden in the cave, so he couldn't go too deep. What we need to do now is to borrow the power of the Lionhearts and the Hunters' Guild to uncover the cave. But also prevent them from getting hold of the angel's stump. ”

“.”

Ji Xun already understood.

This guy is still fighting the idea of borrowing a donkey to grind.

It may not even be that there is no intention of sacrificing a group of humans and making some big moves.

The leader of Silvermoon had obviously regarded him as the core of the church, and as he spoke, he directly took out a cloth bag.

Ji Xun was also amazed when he looked at it, this woman seemed to have mastered a means to contain catastrophic things.

It's really a little envious.

When I opened it, I saw a white sheet that looked like it was full of smudges.

But as soon as the cloth bag was opened, a familiar and rich light and dark pollution overflowed.

The Silver Moon Leader said, "This is the [Shroud of Light and Darkness] we found earlier, and it is also an exclusive relic to restrain the remnants of that angel. ”

She also explained, "The Weeping Angel's personality is very high, and even if it is a thousand years after his death, the overflowing law pollution is not something that a low-level card master can bear. This shroud keeps out that pollution. When the time comes, it will be contained, and the danger of having this relic will be much lower. ”

“.”

Ji Xun looked at it and his heart twitched inexplicably.

No wonder it's so familiar.

With the previous [Light and Dark Holy Nail] and [Light and Dark Cross], there are three seals on his body.

He didn't ask, he just took the shroud in his hand.

As he spoke, the Silver Moon Leader couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The people in Bureau X came prepared, and she was not lightly injured in the fierce battle just now.

She didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "I may not be able to do it for a long time recently." Lao Duan has also been targeted, and it has not been easy to show up recently. Your methods are very good, and the matter in the sealed cave will be handled by you for the time being. I'll get back to you later."

"Hmm."

Ji Xun nodded and responded.

After a short time, Ji Xun left the Iris Hotel.

He had too many secrets on him, and he didn't want to stay with that Silvermoon Leader.

Although I didn't get much news, I got a [Shroud of Light and Darkness], which was already a surprise.

This also made Ji Xun feel a little sure.

Walking through a mess of streets, people are still dealing with city buildings that were previously burned down by the rain of fire.

After the seal was broken, a large number of necromantic monsters erupted from the ground, and there was a monster siege outside the Lion City.

However, the exaggerated number of monsters did not make the hunters in the city flinch, but one by one they were enthusiastic and called friends to go out of the city to hunt monsters.

"Hey, have you heard? The major chambers of commerce are buying [dark matter crystals] in large quantities."

"Why don't you know? It is said that that kind of crystallization is the most ideal 'elemental' material. After integrating the career card, the probability of distortion can be greatly reduced. There's also a good chance that the quality of the card will be improved. Especially the high-level crystallizations, which have now been speculated to sky-high prices. There are some wonderful uses that we don't know about."

"yes. I've heard that word has been sent back to Innocence City. There are already a lot of large hunter groups gathered over there ready to come. We have to hurry, or we won't be able to drink the soup." ”

“.”

Ji Xun walked on the streets, talking about monsters outside the city everywhere.

In front of the Hunter Guild, all major taverns are plastered with new teammate recruitments.

Ji Xun didn't recover from his injuries well, and he didn't rush to join in the fun.

Idle, he walked a few steps before he came to the tavern in the city.

Originally, I wanted to come to meet with Xie Guozhong and inquire about the movements of Bureau X.

I didn't expect to see that person, but I saw two other acquaintances.

In the Anvil Tavern, an old man with missing front teeth and a teenager are drinking in the corner of the bar.

Ji Xun looked at the obscene and greedy appearance, and recognized at a glance that this was Old Man Xu and Che Er, who had not been seen for a long time.

Last time in the ruins of Thunder Fortress, thanks to this mysterious old man, the problem of the Crying Angel was solved.

Ji Xun also knew that this old man was a real master.

Now that he has encountered it again, not to mention reminiscing about the past, he also wants to ask some questions.

After all, what was sealed in the ruins this time was the remnants of an angel.

He probably knows something.

Ji Xun walked in and greeted, "Senior Xu." Car two. ”

Che Er looked at Ji Xun, his eyes lit up, and he waved enthusiastically: "Mr. Ji Xun!" ”

He hadn't forgotten that the relic-level long sword [Flash Heart Piercing Sword] in his hand was given by the one in front of him.

As a teenager who dreams of becoming a great swordsman, this kind of kindness of gifting a sword will be remembered for a lifetime.

But Old Man Xu looked at Ji Xun, he didn't know why, he felt very bad in his heart, and his old face twitched, not too enthusiastic.

Fortunately, Ji Xun generously greeted the bartender with the most expensive wine, and this old man made people smile very cheaply, revealing his front teeth.

Wine is indeed the best medium for communication.

After the three of them drank it once last time, it wasn't a separation.

The bartender served the wine, and Ji Xun clinked glasses with the two.

The aroma of burnt wheat poured down my throat into my stomach, and a refreshing sensation came out of my mouth.

Ji Xun asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Che Er said casually: "It's the same old way." Grandpa wanted to come and see it, so he came. ”

Ji Xun listened, looked at Old Man Xu, and quipped: "But isn't it safe for the Lion City recently, are you going out?" ”

He glanced at the two of them again with their bulging field backpacks, which were clearly about to go out on an adventure.

The timing is subtle.

Che Er glanced at Old Man Xu and said, "Grandpa said that he wanted to go out of the city to have a look." So we contacted a group of hunters to meet up here. They should be there soon, too. ”

"Oh?"

Ji Xun was also slightly surprised when he heard this.

With the character of this old man's "Dog King", the risk outside the city is so great now, if you can hide normally, you will never go out of the city.

Now you want to go out of the city?

There is only one possibility for such an anomaly.

He thought of something and asked curiously, "Old man Xu, have you found what you are looking for?" ”

Old man Xu didn't mean to hide it, he gave him a blank look, and just complained: "I don't know if I can find it." But I always feel . It's always bad to meet you. ”

"Hahaha"

Ji Xun didn't take it to heart either.

This old man's intuition is very amazing, and he can't even detect his aura of "doom gambler".

Only this old man will complain every time he meets him.

However, Ji Xun also wanted to ask questions, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Senior Xu, do you know what the situation of that ancient seal is?" ”

Hearing this, Old Man Xu not only didn't know, but asked, "Seal? Is that big hole a seal? ”

Ji Xun said directly: "Hmm." It is said that the seal inside is the stump of the weeping angel we met last time, so do you know something, senior? ”

Ji Xun thought that this old man should know some special information.

But when he said this, the old man still shook his head blankly: "I don't know." ”

Ji Xun is no wonder, this old man's memory is missing too much, and many cognitions need stimulation to wake up.

However, before he could speak again, Old Man Xu looked at him with a strange look, "But you guy. It didn't take long to see each other. How do I feel like you won't live long? ”

Ji Xun: "."

Che Er on the side was stunned when he heard this: Grandpa, people will ask you a few questions, and you will curse him?

Old man Xu obviously saw more clearly, and said, "You used some kind of secret method to consume life?" ”

Ji Xun smiled disappreciatively and nodded: "Hmm." ”

Old man Xu pursed his lips, and his tone didn't know whether it was emotion or exhortation, and muttered: "Young man. Isn't it good to live longer. ”

Ji Xun asked casually: "Senior Xu, is there a way to solve it?" ”

If he wants to die, he can face it calmly.

But now he is gradually discovering that the world is really getting more and more exciting.

It seems good if you can live longer.

"Difficult."

Old man Xu didn't say a specific method, but said a meaningful sentence: "Because of death, life is meaningful." Lifespan is part of destiny. No matter what the method, whether you can meet it or not, that is your destiny. ”

Ji Xun was drinking wine, and when he heard this, his eyes were thoughtful.

After a few more small talks, Ji Xun didn't get any more information about the seal from Old Man Xu's mouth.

At this time, Che Er asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, do you want to go on an adventure outside the city with us?" ”

After chatting so much, he also heard that Ji Xun was very interested in the deep pit, and he must be going.

On the side, Old Man Xu had a bitter face and a reluctant look.

As far as his life-saving philosophy is concerned, staying away from those who are prone to causing trouble is the only way to live longer.

And so it is.

Ji Xun saw the old man's thoughts, and he didn't care about Xiaoxiao.

He didn't want to implicate the grandfather and grandson.

Reminiscence, a glass of wine, please, is enough.

But at this moment, a team of people suddenly walked in outside the tavern.

Looking at the group logo on the other party's chest, Ji Xun recognized that this was the "Flamingo Hunter Group" that Old Man Xu's grandfather and grandson were waiting for.

This is a large group of reputable hunters in the Lion City.

Ji Xun also saw at the door of the tavern that they were recruiting a large number of temporary members to go out of the city to open up wasteland.

There are many such hunter groups in the current Lion City.

Originally, Ji Xun didn't care.

However, just now this group of people came in, and the moment he swept his gaze, he found an anomaly.

"Huh"

Ji Xun can never forget it, so when he sees a familiar face, he must have seen it somewhere.

Seven or eight people came in, all dressed as hunters.

Nothing strange about it.

But Ji Xun's eyes fell on the female doctor in the team who obviously seemed to have joined temporarily.

Because it looked familiar, I took a few more looks.

After a few more glances, Ji Xun immediately confirmed the identity of this guy.

Although he was disguised, his blonde hair was hidden, and his face was full of freckles and subtle disguise.

But Ji Xun still recognized this person through some details.

"Katarina?"

He never expected that the eldest lady of the dignified Lionheart family would be in a small hunter group.
