Chapter 12: Undercurrents

The light of the knife flashed, and the black bandage was cut in the darkness, blood flowed down the knife edge, and the smell of rust diffused with the wind......

......

Shunyang College.

It was already dawn at the end of the mission, so Bai Yu had to pretend to go out to check in and fool around, but fortunately, everyone in the dormitory didn't care.

Bai Yu washed his face and brushed his teeth as usual, ready to start this college routine as before.

......

Anzhuang, Paston.

After the battle was over, V sent Bai Yu back to the bedroom, and he took Dark Moon back to Anzhuang.

In the room, V and the ponytail man sat opposite each other, and the dark moon was placed on the coffee table, and the slender blade exuded a slight black breath.

The ponytail man's hair was scattered, and after Bai left, he originally wanted to take a break, but he didn't expect V to come back so soon. So there is this appearance of hair scattered, and the dark gold long hair is scattered on the shoulders, which also has a bit of charm.

"So, are you going to give this knife to Law?" After sitting upright for a long time, V broke the silence in the room.

"Didn't you already give it to him? The pony-tailed man simply tied his hair, then got up to make a cup of coffee.

Hearing what the ponytail man said, V didn't ask anything more, although he was one of the four white faces, he rarely cared about the plans of the shadow guard, he had always just carried out orders like a samurai, and he had never failed in his mission.

The ponytail man walked back with two cups of coffee and handed V a one. V took a sip of coffee, but his face suddenly changed.

Ahem –

The coffee he had just eaten was spit out by V, and although he didn't know how to taste coffee, it was the worst coffee he had ever tasted, and it stands to reason that such a taste of coffee should not have come from this man with a long ponytail.

Seeing this, the pony-tailed man also picked up his coffee and drank it. Unexpectedly, the pony-tailed man's face stiffened.

"It seems that I really need to get a good night's sleep. The ponytail man smiled and put down his coffee.

"Isn't this like your craft?" V spat on his coffee, then moved his gaze back to the dark moon on the coffee table, "What about this knife?"

"Put it back in the palace," the pony-tailed man put away the cup and poured out the coffee, "by the way, step up the training of the little knights, you have to hurry." ”

"Hmm. ”

V got up, opened the door and walked out.

"Zero-" V had just walked on his front foot when the voice of someone else in the room stopped the ponytail.

A faint white light flashed, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses fell to the ground.

......

White Moon Palace, Tibetan Martial Pavilion.

Zangwu Pavilion, this is the Shadow Guard's weapon storage, a cold weapon warehouse, and it also stores the weapons that the Shadow Guard got from the acolyte.

In the Tibetan Martial Pavilion, the spacious rooms were filled with rows of wooden shelves, on which weapons were arranged in an orderly manner and slept like samurai. In the deepest part of the Zangwu Pavilion, where Bai Yu had been before, the high shelves were filled with Japanese-style swords, each knife was placed in the same scabbard, and the only thing that could distinguish it was the system and color of the handle.

A sudden white light flashed through the room, and on the knife holder, a sword with a black handle suddenly disappeared. Footsteps sounded, and V walked over and placed Darkmoon in the empty spot.

......

Shunyang College.

Bai Yu was in class, but an inexplicable sense of uneasiness suddenly came. The singing, the sound of shattering, the picture I dreamed of a few days ago flashed again and again.

At this time, the mobile phone rang suddenly, Bai Yu took out his mobile phone, it was a message from Luo Ying.

Bai Yu was a little surprised, but also a little disappointed.

"Are you there?" she asked.

"Hmm. Bai Yu also replied to her simply.

"There's something I don't know if I should tell you. ”

"Then let's not talk about it, each ...... Well. ”

"Well, then you, take care of yourself. ”

"Hmm. ”

Bai Yu put away his mobile phone, and the first communication in more than half a month ended.

Best wishes –

Bai Yu took out a pen and paper and tried to draw the picture in his mind. Bai Yu had also mentioned it to V before, but V didn't answer him. White masks, black ruins, and weeping songs in the wind, what secrets exist in them.....

"Hey, Bai Yu, what are you going to eat for a while?" was drawing, Pan Shao on the side suddenly called Bai Yu, it turned out that it was time for class to end.

Bai Yu had no choice but to put away the sketch, and there was a ruin on it that was simply outlined.

"Let's eat whatever you want in a cafeteria. Bai Yu replied.

After collecting the book, the two walked out together.

"By the way, Bai Yu, they said to help unload the goods on Friday night. On the way, Pan Shao suddenly talked about part-time jobs.

"Well, good. ”

Bai Yu turned on his phone, it was the end of August, and the new students were coming.

The breeze blew and the scent of flowers wafted in.

......

White Moon Palace, Tibetan Martial Pavilion.

A long door opened, and a slightly tired Shiro walked in, followed by Zero with a long ponytail.

Zero stopped, and watched Shiro go straight to the deepest part, where was the knife holder where V had stored Darkmoon not long ago.

Shiro stopped in front of the shelf, looking up for something. On the knife holder, the dark moon that was standing slightly glowed, and then, the surrounding swords seemed to feel the fluctuations, and the various colors of sword light spread out, like a samurai awakening.

Bai stretched out his hand, and the dark moon slowly descended, and the light on the knife holder also dissipated.

The dark moon was suspended in the air, and the white eyes stared at the dark moon in a daze, without saying a word, and the light of the blade flickered indirectly like a breathing lamp, gradually dimming and brightening.

Seeing this, Zero, who was standing at the door, walked towards Bai and stood directly opposite Bai with his hands on his chest.

"How long can you last. Zero asked.

"It won't last long. Bai replied weakly.

"Do you want to go ahead?" asked Zero again.

"No, I don't. ”

"It's been two hundred years," Zero turned around and picked up a knife on the knife holder, "Your strength, is it still there?"

Bai didn't answer, but picked up the hanging dark moon, pulled out the knife, the long knife came out of the sheath, and the black breath immediately dispersed.

Zero saw this, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was fleeting.

Bang –

Before he could draw his sword, the black blade qi was already attacking him.

Zero looked at the white in front of him, his hair became whiter and whiter, but he didn't have the fatigue he had before, and when he held the knife in his hand again, the figure that had been separated by two hundred years seemed to reappear at this time.

"That's what white noodles should look like. Zero flicked Darkmoon away, and in an instant, he quickly pulled out the knife in his hand.

Almost at the same moment, the two men rushed towards each other with rapid steps, and the two soldiers intersected, and a huge shockwave spread out from the two of them, shattering the shelves they passed by, and the weapons on the shelves were scattered, and the sound of metal crashing continued to sound.

Zero smiled, and Shiro laughed along. The white light flashed, and the two disappeared together in the Zangwu Pavilion and came to the stone bridge outside the palace.

It was nearly evening, and the clouds in the sky were dyed red by the light of the setting sun.

"You know, in that battle, I thought you were all going to die. Zero looked at the place where the sunset was falling, completely ignoring the white on the other side that could surprise at any time.

"But we all survived, didn't we?" Shiro replied to Zero, not wanting to raid.

"Yes," Zero turned his head, his eyes flashing with sadness, "but everyone else, all dead, sometimes I think, is the peace that hundreds of thousands of people have exchanged for really meaningful, since then, the whole world has been quiet." ”

Shiro looked at Zero in front of him, this man with a ponytail always likes to make coffee quietly alone, and after drinking, no one knows what he is thinking. In the eyes of the other shadow guards, he is an elegant aristocratic son, strong and personable. And in the eyes of the white face, he is just a blood-stained survivor like them.

"Yes, it's a lot quieter, but the world is also calmer, isn't this your mission and mine. After saying that, he immediately took off his glasses and clenched the dark moon in his hands with both hands.

"That's right. Seeing the situation in front of him, he also turned his thoughts back.

The two knives slashed through the air, clashing, each blow was sonorous and powerful, this was the second time the two had fought after a long time.

"Now, Bai, I've always wanted to ask you, why don't you bring that kid yourself?"

"Me?" Shiro tried hard to block Zero's attack, "Wouldn't that make sense?"

The two knives collided, and Ling Yan's blade qi splashed out, as if it was about to tear the surrounding plane.

The speed of the zero-swing knife became faster and faster, gradually suppressing Shiro.

"You're slow. In the middle of the exchange, Zero fought off Shiro with a single blow.

Bai who was repulsed glanced at the dark moon in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Shiro raised his left hand and lifted his glasses, only to remember that the glasses had been removed by him.

"I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, and I'm a little rusty. Bai said.

Zero on the other side slowly stepped forward and stopped five meters in front of Shiro. By this time, the daylight had completely dissipated, and the stone bridge gradually darkened, but it was not long before the white moonlight in the sky illuminated the stone bridge again.

Under the moonlight, the dark moon in Bai's hand swirled with a faint purple-black light. The white knife swirled in front of him, forming a purple arc of light.

Not far away, Zero, who was much easier than Bai, tied his hair back tight, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Bang –

The sound of the confrontation sounded again, and the white swing knife at this time was even faster than before, and even began to gradually exceed zero. Zero was forced back step by step, and the knife in his hand could only be defensive.

The dark moon in the white hand swung out again and again, and the purple blade light cut through the night and pressed towards zero.

"This is the strength that Bai should have. Although he was pressed step by step, Zero did not forget to praise.

"After all, Shadow Guard is a Nightcrawler. Bai responded, and the dark moon in his hand swung out again.

Zero's smile suddenly held on at this moment, and Shiro's swing made him feel real danger. Zero clenched the knife in his hand, and the dark energy was transmitted, and the knife finally emitted a bright white light.

Qiang –

The two knives stopped in the air, and a purple and white blade flew out, tearing through the silent night sky.

There was a cracking sound, and Darkmoon broke the knife in Zero's hand.

"Lost. Zero took back the half-cut knife in his hand and said regretfully.

"Faux pas. Bai also took Darkmoon back.

Slap-smack-slap-smack-

In the darkness, applause rang out at the end of the stone bridge.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" the voice sounded, and someone walked towards the two.

"Is Daddy here?" Zero looked in the direction of the person who cameβ€”the Lord of Frost, the V of Whiteface.

"It's been a long time since I saw you two show off your skills," V paused, taking off the white mask on his face, "Good evening." ”

Bai put away the dark moon, put the glasses back on, and raised his head to look at the white moon in the sky: "It's out......"

V and Zero also raised their heads, and above the night sky, the red clouds had not yet dispersed.
