Chapter 20: The Edge

For the first time, Shirahiro felt what it was like to be in a dying state.

In the past, when I fainted, I would always have some strange dreams, from the sunny day doll at the beginning, to the lingering black shadow later, until the recent discovery of the soul pool, and I would meet with the soul couple every night when I fell asleep.

Until now, it is completely nothing. In fact, this feeling was like a complete sleep without dreams, and he had not tried to fall asleep so quietly in a long time.

I don't know how long it took, the endless darkness gradually brightened, until I was surrounded by white dreams again, the familiar pavilion, and the more familiar people in the pavilion.

"I felt like I had fallen asleep. ”

"Your soul is too weak, and in addition to the shock of the body, the soul will also go into shock. The soul couple looked at Bai Maxiao, who was belated, and his eyes showed great concern, "I have sent away many of your past lives, but it is the first one to die like you." ”

"I didn't know how to ...... at the time"

"But you are also the first one who looks like Bai Mafei. ”

Bai Ma Xiao was stunned, he didn't know if "like Bai Ma Fei" was a compliment. In the battle with Akai, not only his classmates and mentors, but also Shirano Hakuba himself felt the change in himself—from evasion to confronting, from cowardice to bravery, from uselessness to blockbuster—and he himself was impressed by his own strength, and for the first time he found his own way of fighting, and everything he wanted to protect in the future. For the first time, he felt that he was extraordinary, and for the first time, he realized that the White Horse family was really not an ordinary family, although he had known all this as early as when he met Lu Tong, but now he was officially convinced.

"You are very adaptable, and you will be able to integrate the spiritual arts you have learned in this time, and it seems that Bai Mafei's reincarnation has finally inherited his talent. How does it feel?" said the soul couple's tone was full of relief, as if an old mother had finally seen her son come to life.

"It's cool, it's like a hanging! I can see that those teachers are very jealous of that little Japan, and a novice like me can beat him to the ground!" Hakumashi said proudly, this kind of battle is definitely a milestone experience for him, as if it was a turning point in his life.

At this moment, he woke up.

"The 'Thunder Channeling Talisman' and the 'Blasting Talisman' are the advanced Dao techniques in the Fu Gong Technique, although they are not as complicated as the 'Snow Guiding Talisman' you drew in Lingshan, but the spiritual power consumed should not be underestimated. You didn't realize that you have gone from being able to sleep with a ghost talisman at the beginning, to now drawing two high-level talismans in a row and being safe, which is also the growth of your spiritual power. ”

The growth of spiritual power?Bai Maxiao remembered that the light that came out of the spell just now was blue, so he was upgraded?

From gold to blue, it has become almost like tranquility, but his talisman is really a bug-level spiritual skill.

"I've only been promoted to the second level, when will I be able to turn red like Shiratori Ling?"

"Spiritual power cultivation is slowly accumulated in the process of practicing spiritual arts, and I have to boast here that the soul pool is an excellent place for practicing spiritual arts, which allows you to practice all the time even when you are sleeping, and there is no interference here, no distractions, and you get twice the result with half the effort. It usually takes a year for a new spirit to grow into blue, and you've only been in the soul pool for a month. ”

White Mashi seems to see his future self, wearing a hat and cloak, standing in a position where thousands of people kneel and worship, and is called "Master White Horse".

But soon this arrogance was broken by the soul couple, "You're still too tender. If that Akai didn't underestimate the enemy at the beginning, but directly and seriously used spiritual magic to fight you, do you think you have a chance to win?"

Thinking so, the man didn't know until the end that he knew how to use talismans, and if he had known it earlier, he would definitely not have let him draw those two talismans so easily.

But then again, I can think of using water control techniques to manipulate blood to draw talismans instantly, I'm really a genius! Bai Maxiao thought narcissistically, and really wanted to give himself a big kiss.

"By the way, I never had time to ask you. "Remembering that he had just been instructed by the soul couple, at first I thought it was Bai Bird Ling, after all, these two people not only looked exactly the same, but even their voices were the same, and suddenly thought that he hadn't asked the soul couple about her until now, "You said that your image comes from Bai Ma Fei is not like a forgotten person, is it Bai Bird Ling?"

"Perhaps. ”

"Maybe, don't you know her?"

"It's been hundreds of years, what's so strange about changing names? What's more, after Bai Ma Fei created me, he hasn't seen her again, and until now, I don't know who she is, just like you. ”

This is also true, after all, hundreds of years have passed, and if the original name is still used, it will have been arrested and studied as a monster a long time ago.

"But don't you know where she is now? I think you're like an encyclopedia, you know everything. ”

"I don't know. All I know is what you have seen and heard in your past dozens of lifetimes, but unfortunately, except for Bai Mafei's memory, everything else is of no use, and your previous dozens of lives are ordinary people. ”

She is really just Bai Mafei's memory bank, but this is fine, if you have something to ask her for, it is equivalent to indirectly talking to the god of spirits.

"By the way, how long have I been in a coma, and when will I wake up?" remembered that he risked his life to return to Phoenix University, and he didn't do his best to stand up for them, and now he was half-dead, he must have been caught by them, and he didn't know if he could escape from the poisonous hands of that mysterious organization.

"You've been lying for half a month. Your injuries are not light, your internal organs are broken, and your body is broken in many places, and you may have to lie down honestly for a month. ”

"A month?!I may be wiped out one day in this month!No, I can't stay here, it's too dangerous!" Bai Maxiao remembered Luo Yong's words again, and there were endless people chasing him along the way, and now lying in Phoenix University, it was tantamount to falling into a thief's den, and maybe the air he breathed was poisoned.

"Don't worry, your Xiaoling has always been by your side. Do you want to see it?" she said, waving her little hand, and a picture appeared in front of her, like a projection.

The picture shows a very old building, crawling with creepers, located in a wood, like the old building often seen in horror movies.

"Where's this?!Whose perspective is this?"

"Yours. Now you are still very weak, your soul has become a wandering state, you have no consciousness, and you can't remember what you see and hear, but fortunately, I have me, and I have recorded it for you. ”

Hakumashi had heard that when a person dies, the soul becomes something called a wandering spirit, which is not yet visible to the spirits, so it is not even known if it exists.

They are already weakened into geists, and it seems that they are indeed dying.

The picture begins to float into the old building, and it seems that Shiratori Ling is controlling his wandering spirit, which feels like watching the camera sent back by a drone.

The old building that looks like a horror movie, and even the interior looks like a scene from a horror movie, Bai Maxiao can't help but be a little worried about whether a ghost will suddenly appear.

No, he's a ghost himself.

When I came to the third floor, a piece of red paper floated in front of a room, which was particularly conspicuous. When I looked closer, I saw that it was the red paper of Shiratori Ling, and this time the white lines on the paper had changed to a different pattern. Hakuma Xiao thought it would be something like an enchantment spell seal, but when he looked closely, he found that it was four words: "No entry"

This spell seal technique is really convenient, and you can write on the charm at will, so it looks like it should be good to make a label.

This room is not big, only a bed and a chair.

It was him on the bed, and on the chair was Shiratori Ling.

At this time, she was tilting her head and closing her eyes, not knowing if she was asleep. Now Hakuma Shino has an urge to tease her.

But not yet.

On the bed, he was wrapped in gauze like a mummy, his left arm that had been slashed twice was the most tightly wrapped, and one leg was in a plaster cast, like an elephant's leg, hanging in the air.

It turned out that he was injured so badly.

Originally, when I went to Phoenix University, my head was wrapped in gauze and one index finger was in a plaster, but now it seems that the injury at that time was really nothing.

At this time, he noticed that Shiratori Ling was carrying his tennis racket bag on his back.

Apparently she didn't know what it was, only that it was his, and she carried it on her back to protect it.

Bai Ma Xiao's heart is warm, it seems that since he was a child, only Bai Bird Ling cares so much about himself.

There was nothing to see in this still picture, but Bai Ma Xiaowu stared at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking at? What is so beautiful about this, do you want to see your visitors, what did they tell you?" Her expression suddenly became a little strange, and she kept raising her eyebrows, like a gossipy little girl.

At such a time, there will be people who will come to visit him? Bai Maxiao was very interested in this.

"Your teacher Fu, as well as the handsome little guy named Nie Jianfeng, the girl named Tranquility, and a thin bamboo pole named Lu Tong have all come to you, but they are all blocked by your Xiaoling. ”

Bai Ma Xiao also thought about it, and Bai Bird Ling also knew that none of the people at Phoenix University could be trusted now, and it seemed that this kind of protection plan that rejected all comers was very effective.

"It's all shut out, what's there to see?"

"Didn't anyone else come back to see you but them?"

Bai Maxiao thought about it, he didn't have any friends at Phoenix University, except for the colleagues in the first group, there was only Lu Tong, a die-hard fan, and the first group was not very familiar, although they lived together for a month, they often had their own training and tasks, and they didn't meet often.

Without waiting for Hakuma to answer, the soul couple turned out a picture like a rewind.

It was still that room, Shiratori Ling was not sleeping, but looking at a book, he was still lying like a dead corpse, and there was an extra person next to the bed.

It's Mo chess.

Only then did Bai Ma Xiao remember that if someone could bypass Bai Bird Ling's defense and come to him, it should be Mo Qi's soul.

Spiritualism is really handy.

But why did she come? The two of them had made their words clear that night, and the two hadn't spoken much separately after that, and after such a long time, he thought that Mo Qi had almost forgotten about him.

......

"White Horse ......" Mo Qi looked at him quietly, as if there was no one around—maybe she knew that White Bird Ling couldn't see her.

She looked at him gently, mixed with endless worry, "You must not die...... We're all worried about you, I still owe you two things that you haven't done, will you be willing to die like this?"

When she said this, she choked up a little.

"Hakuba, you're the first one to make me lose a bet, and twice. You really impressed me, whether it was in the GSG, or in the battle to protect the dignity of the school ten days ago, you surprised me. So, you won't die, right? None of the spirit members of the White Horse family have died on a hospital bed, so you don't want to be the first one, do you?"

She gently stroked his face, lowered her head, and kissed him on the lips.

The white bird Ling on the side didn't know if it was a movement that had been sitting for too long, and suddenly moved.

Mo Qi ignored it, she couldn't see herself anyway.

"You taught me what it's like to be cared for, liked, and protected...... I know you can't hear me right now, so these words, I just want to say to you......"

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began her story......

She said a lot, like a seed, unconsciously planted in Bai Mashio's heart. She said for a long, long time, until the seed sprouted and grew into a thriving sapling, and in the near future, it would become a towering tree.

Little did she know at this moment that the tree would be so big that it would break through the sky, and its roots would cover the entire city, causing terrible destruction.
