Siren Blade

Chapter 35

Now I have found out the details of her mission from Jade Bird himself, and looking back at Lie Que's attitude at that time, it is intriguing.He didn't allow me to inquire about or intervene in the mission of the blue bird. Is it based on certain rules and regulations of the Security Bureau, or based on other ideas?If it's the latter, then the first possibility that comes to my mind is - he doesn't want me to track "it's" hand.

The white horse who took away the hand may be the person behind the old bone.Under the premise that I can't directly get clues about the person behind Baiju or the old bone, I can only find an intermediary who may be related to it, and the target of the blue bird's mission is this intermediary.

Why is Lieque trying to stop me?Is it because he suspects that I will fall back into a majin in the process of tracking down that hand?Or do you have other plans?
That being the case, why did he hand over the task of arresting the middleman to Qingniao?He is well aware of the close relationship between Jade Bird and me, and it is entirely possible for me—in fact, I have already learned part of the middleman's situation from Jade Bird.

This non-up and down approach seems more like some kind of scrutiny of me. Does he want to know whether I will persist in chasing that hand?

Closer to home: After expressing his position, Lie Que talked about the strange story about my alma mater.

"You used to be a student of this school, right? There is a strange story circulating in this school, saying that there is a door that does not exist somewhere in the teaching building. Behind the door is the former teaching building, and there are vengeful spirits entrenched in it." , and the vengeful spirit is a student who jumped off the roof because he couldn't bear the burden of his studies in the past. This vengeful spirit will lure the students and teachers who pass by alone to the back of the door, and then force them to jump off the building."

Without thinking, I said, "This strange story is false."

"Why did you say that?" he asked.

"That was a rumor when I was in school. In fact, a student in the class next to me put clothes on mannequins and threw them from the roof." I said, "He also specially asked his classmates to stand in the distance. I took a blurry video, making it seem like someone really jumped, and uploaded it to the Internet, and was severely punished by the school."

"This is the same as what we have investigated. However, people's conscious activities will produce spirituality. When those unconscious spiritualities are concentrated on ghost stories, ghost stories may breed demons."

"Since you have reached this point, that means... a victim has appeared?"

"It's an English teacher." He handed me the file in his hand.

Photos are also attached to the file.When I saw it, the victim looked familiar. He was the English teacher in Ruan Wenzhu's class and mine.This makes me feel complicated.

"During the official investigation into the school, a student connected the matter with the ghost story during the official inquiry, and the way the victim died did fit the description of the ghost story...Of course, the release of 'someone jumped from upstairs' Events that are common everywhere, even if they fit the description of some strange talk, would not have been transferred to our Security Bureau, but there have been some cases recently." Lie Que said, "In the past six months, there has been a mysterious force on the Internet. Spread secret knowledge, and it is also knowledge of demonic spells. Some ordinary people who don't know anything about the hidden world, but are naturally excellent in perception, come into contact with this knowledge without knowing it, causing some disturbances in the hidden world. And like It is something that is easy to breed and summon demons, such as ghost stories, and all places have paid more attention to it."

"That is to say... pay attention to whether there may be ordinary people who have access to demon knowledge behind this matter?" I asked.

"That's right. This is just right for you as your first official mission after joining the Security Bureau." He said, "Go and investigate tomorrow, Li Duo... Or should I call you 'Ren Sai' now? "

"Li Duo is fine." I said.

"Ren Sai" was my temporary code name after I joined the Security Bureau.

As a law enforcement warlock, even if it is a non-staff, it must have a code name, such as "Blue Bird".But I can't come up with any good code names, and I don't want to continue to use the nickname of "Magic Man" with a strong middle school flavor.

The difficulty of substituting the name is how to make it sound nice without being ashamed when called out.If it is too cool, it will be embarrassing to be called out.Just when I was distressed, Qingniao said that it should be called "Ren Sai".At that time, my first reaction was how could I use the same name as the young girl in the dream.

And Jade Bird said at the time, "Ren Sai was originally a masculine name, right? Besides, she only used the role of a young girl in a dream, who knows what it looks like in reality. Besides, Ren Sai is also It's not her real name, but it's taken from your Siren Blade. If she uses it, why can't you?"

Since I couldn't come up with an alternative, I had no choice but to accept the code name "Ren Sai" for the time being.

If you have a chance, you must change it.

After leaving the Security Bureau, it was almost dark.Although it is said that the task will be done tomorrow, today's patrol must be completed.I walked the streets the same way I had for the past few days.

As I was walking, I heard a strange noise coming from a distance. When I went over, I found some passers-by gathered on the side of the street, making a fuss and talking about something.

At the moment, I don't know what happened, but now I have exchanged information with the blue bird, but I already understand.In fact, Jade Bird fought with the middleman here just now, and those passers-by were paying attention to what they saw just now.But right now, before I could find out anything, I felt malicious spiritual fluctuations and panicked shouts coming from a distance.

Turning around, I saw a big bird with the head of a vicious dog rushing out from the corner of the street, about to attack the passers-by.

I recognized it immediately, it was a demon.

Although the devil is a spirit body, ordinary people can also see it with the naked eye, not like many fictional stories, the spirit body must have yin and yang eyes to be able to see Yunyun.

However, the spirit body also has a characteristic. Since the body is composed of spirit, it has a "hidden" nature. Therefore, as long as the spirit body is not publicized, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice them. Automatically move towards the unconscious.Even if you are attacked by a spirit body, it is easy to forget about it.If they are not asked, they will not actively talk about such things in their lives, just as people who have experienced terrible things avoid even recalling them afterward.The so-called social influence cannot be formed.

But of course this is no reason for me to sit idly by.I immediately summoned the Siren Blade and rushed towards the demon.

Before the demon had time to attack passers-by, it sensed my movement and immediately fled with wings.

This is where my shortcomings are exposed.

I can't fly, and I can't attack from a distance. When I encounter such an enemy who can fly, I will inevitably lack the means.

If it was the blue bird here, it would either turn into a thunderbolt and shoot at the demon's side with a sword, or throw a lightning gun and kill it directly. , waiting for the moment when the demon lowers its altitude.

The above are my shortcomings when I was in the Majin period, and I will talk about my shortcomings now.

This is also a problem I only discovered after the old bone incident, that is, my battery life is not enough.

In the past, I used the Siren Blade with the support of "it", and all the "fuel" was supplied by "it", and I never felt that the power was exhausted; now it is me who drives the Siren Blade, and If I hadn't met "it", I wouldn't even be able to become a warlock, and would just spend my life as an ordinary person.

In other words, this is an overriding force that could not have appeared in my destiny.

After using it for a long time, I will start to get tired.Not physically exhausted, but consciously sleepy.This time is not fixed. If you exercise with all your strength while holding the Siren Blade, it will feel unsustainable for more than 1 minute, but if you just hold it still, the time can be extended by more than ten times.

Most of the time, this isn't a big deal.The speed provided by the Siren Blade allows me to use one second as if it were ten seconds. One minute is enough for many battles, but the seesaw chase like this one is not very good.

Unknowingly, the demon and I have chased for a distance of more than two kilometers.And I made up my mind at this time - simply throw the Siren Blade out.

Although once the weapon is released, he will temporarily lose his power, but this seems to be the only way to deal with this demon running around in the city.

I first stood still on the ground, and then threw the Siren Blade forcefully as a throwing weapon.With just a flick of a finger, the siren blade shot out at super high speed, bombarding the demon in the distance, turning it into a blood mist.

And, unabated, the Siren Blade slammed into the wall at the end of the hallway—a hallway?wall?

I suddenly came back to my senses, and found that I had come to the interior of a certain building at some point. There was a spacious corridor made of concrete under my feet, and the walls and ceiling were also gray concrete.

This situation is confusing even if it is only described in words. I was just outside on the street, but now I am standing in the spacious passage of an unfamiliar building.

But soon, I realized that I probably entered a different space.

According to the hidden world common sense textbook provided by the Security Bureau, a different space, as the name suggests, is a space different from the real space.For example, the ghost hitting the wall in the country ghost talk, and the lost mountain forest in my dream in the past, can be classified as different spaces.

And some different spaces are not built on the real space, such as the "space behind the non-existent door" mentioned in the ghost story of my alma mater.

Demons are good at creating different dimensions, or bringing victims into existing different dimensions.

Humans may need to go through some rituals if they want to enter a different space, but demons don't need it. Demons can easily penetrate the barrier between the subjective world and the objective world, the different space and the real space.If someone tries to follow the demon, they may also follow into a different space.During this period, there was no talk of any sudden opening of the dimension door, or crossing of an obvious dividing line.I arrived in a different space without knowing it-there are more such examples.

In the process of chasing the back of the devil, did I unknowingly enter a route that does not exist in the real world, and thus reach a different space?

If so, how can I leave this different space?

This is also the first time I have encountered such a thing that followed a demon and strayed into a different space.

After thinking about it, I still summoned the Siren Blade first and held it in my hand.Most of the different spaces are dangerous places, because the different spaces are hidden spaces from the real space, so they will attract many hidden things to occupy them, and demons are frequent visitors.

This situation reminded me of the horror of being in the lost forest in my dream.Just standing still won't change anything, I have to try to find a way out.

But before he could take action, the wall not far away suddenly shattered, and a figure covered in blood jumped out of it.

It was a man in his 40s, his whole body was as red as if it had been boiled, and his body surface swelled out from time to time with pain-like bumps, which looked like he was not a good person.Having said that, he is at least a human being, not a demon.I decided to inquire about his identity first, and self-reported.

"Who are you?" I said, "I'm Law Enforcement Warlock Ren..."

Before he had time to announce his new code name, the man stared and shouted hoarsely: "Devil Li Duo!"

The voice of my self-reporting home was blocked by him, and at the same time I doubted the necessity of my code name.

Honestly, do I really have to give myself a replacement number?My real name has already been revealed in the hidden world, so it would be meaningless to pretend to be Ren Sai.

But as soon as the words fell, the person on the opposite side turned around and ran towards the other side of the corridor, the direction of the wall at the end that was pierced by the Siren Blade.

The escape speed is also very fast, many warlocks who specialize in speed can't match him, this guy is definitely the strongest among warlocks.But why did he run away?If I were an innocent law enforcement warlock like Qingniao, I would definitely think that he was guilty; but considering all the evil things I have done in the past, it seems that it is not surprising for others to run away when they see me.

But I still didn't let him go, but chased after him.Although his speed is fast, he is still obviously behind compared to me, and he will soon catch up with him.

He glanced back at me, shouted in horror and anger, and then took out an object from his arms.

It was a palm-sized mirror, and when he threw it in front of him, the mirror suddenly became huge, becoming the size of a full-length mirror.But he kept sprinting at an unabated speed, and his body hit the mirror directly, smashing it into fragments all over the sky.

When he smashed the mirror blatantly, he didn't come out from the other side, but turned into a broken picture reflected in countless fragments.Immediately, all the fragments disappeared like melting snowflakes, and even the person just now also disappeared.

I stared at the scene in front of me in astonishment. I was caught off guard from just now, and I couldn't turn around.

At this moment, a familiar and reassuring voice came from behind him, "Li Duo!"

It's the blue bird.

　It's over, I have a fever.

　　But will continue to update!
