Crown of Silence

Chapter 129 Despicable and shameless

In the silence, the two of them froze in place, looking at the door that should have been closed, and looked at each other.

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, turned around decisively, and signaled Bai Xi to leave with him: This situation is too weird, it is better not to take risks easily.

But Bai Xi didn't move, he just pulled Ye Qingxuan's sleeve and shook his head.

Ye Qingxuan and Bai Xi looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: When did he become less courageous than a little girl?

Could it be that he was really frightened by the chase a few days ago, right?

He sighed silently and made a few gestures, indicating that Bai Xi was ready to do it at any time. He also silently activated the Jiuxiao Ring Pendant, preparing to grab Bai Xi and run away if something went wrong.

One is responsible for fighting and the other is responsible for running. The two people have a clear division of labor, but they seem to be slightly misaligned.

In the silence, the two people stepped silently and approached the open door: behind the door was a huge space.

Under the illumination of several torches, a huge matrix was set up on the ground using alchemical consumables such as mercury, lapis lazuli, ancient silver, and gemstones.

That was a ring of resonance that required expensive materials to be laid out.

Between the layers of complex music scores and notes, a towering prayer flag is inserted into every node. The prayer flags are covered with fine runes and figures of gods and Buddhas. The prayer flags move automatically without wind, exuding regular ether fluctuations, like the exclusive alchemy equipment of a certain faction.

They are organically integrated with the resonance ring below, and a huge amount of ether flows on the materials inside, accumulating power and emitting a brilliant glow.

The glow illuminated the scriptures on the prayer flags, making it seem like there were countless musical notes swimming in the void, making the entire underground space extremely sacred.

But in this sacred space, there lay a corpse with its throat cut.

Ye Qingxuan felt a little scared after seeing it.

The corpse dressed as a musician was originally the musician responsible for guarding this place and constructing this ceremony, but now the place has been invaded, and his throat was slit before he could even resist.

Blood flowed all over the ground.

In the silence, Bai Xi quietly pulled the corner of Ye Qingxuan's clothes and pointed at the back of the resonance circle... There, there was a shadow in a black robe half-kneeling on the ground, quickly and silently deciphering the entire spell. Array.

When the original self-contained resonance ring is dismantled, external invasion will not cause self-destruction, and all the materials in it can be swept away.

Including...the relics of the saint that are enough to drive any musician crazy!

Perhaps because of his absolute confidence in his plan, he focused all his attention on deciphering the magic circle and dismantling the notes on it.

Across the entire array of etheric waves, he did not notice the arrival of the two people.

Ye Qingxuan looked at that figure and felt as if he had seen it there before. It looked very familiar.

In silence, Bai Xi took out the hand crossbow from his arms, made a gesture of slitting his throat, and asked for his opinion: Cousin, you see that his posture is so on point, do you want to give him a crossbow?

Before Ye Qingxuan could answer, his expression suddenly changed.

In the silence, even the slightest friction of clothing was so clear that the figure was shocked, suddenly raised its head, and looked over.

That kind of eyes were dark and sharp, like an ice cellar in the dark, swallowing a creepy chill.

But when he saw Ye Qingxuan's dress clearly, he seemed to have remembered something, and there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

"...Holmes?"

In the darkness under the hood, he made a hoarse voice: "That black musician?"

After seeing those eyes and hearing that voice, Ye Qingxuan knew who he was and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect to meet you here..."

He paused and slowly narrowed his eyes:

"——Your Excellency Professor."

After the magic circle, the professor stood up slowly and sighed, as if lamenting the arrangement of fate:

"Each other, revenge Mr. Evil Spirit."

——

One is a criminal mastermind in Xiacheng District, and the other is a famous black musician. Neither of them expected that they would meet under such circumstances, in this Tianzhu cellar...

It was like old friends meeting each other. The two people looked at each other across the magic circle and asked each other how they were doing.

"I heard you were injured?"

Ye Qingxuan leaned on his cane and asked calmly: "Doesn't it feel good to be hunted down? Without the help of the butcher, will you become a soft-footed shrimp?"

"Sorry to disappoint you. Those losers can't hurt me, but you..."

The professor seemed to be laughing, and his voice was sarcastic: "The tricks you pulled in the Mouse Society were not very clever. After successfully playing with the minds of those idiots, you seemed very proud."

"Such a wonderful thing as the human heart, no matter how many times it is explored, it is endlessly memorable."

Ye Qingxuan laughed hoarsely, showing that he still had unfinished thoughts. He stared at the professor's figure and his eyes became excited:

"If I have the chance, I would also like to explore where your professor's limits are."

"Really? I also want to try what it's like to hunt down a black musician."

After the professor said this, the two of them smiled at the same time, laughing as if they had met their close friends.

But in the next moment, the professor suddenly stood up, and a silver flute slipped from his sleeve, playing a vague and sad melody.

He took action!

Ye Qingxuan also took action.

He reached out and pressed his cane on the resonance array, making a gesture to poke it—do it? Fine, if you are not afraid that I will poke the array and we will both die together, or simply attract people outside to attack, then go ahead and do it.

In an instant, the sound of the flute disappeared.

Under the hood, the professor's expression was livid. He did not put down the silver flute, but just suppressed the melody engraved in it.

"Despicable!" He squeezed out a sound from his teeth.

"Shameless!"

Ye Qingxuan cursed back without any guilt: "Weren't you the first to do it? How dare you scold me?"

He still held the Jiuxiao Ring Pendant in his hand and made a gesture to poke it. The Jiuxiao Ring Pendant was rippling with faint piano sounds, and it was only a hair's breadth away from the resonance array filled with ether.

Seeing that he was about to poke, the professor's eyes became more and more gloomy:

"You'd better stop..."

Ye Qingxuan sneered: "Why don't you let go first!"

The professor was silent for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​fighting with this guy here, and coldly suggested: "I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will let go together."

"Okay." Ye Qingxuan nodded.

In the silence, the two people looked at each other silently, and spoke in unison:

"One, two...three!"

At that moment, the professor suppressed the melody brewing in the silver flute, and Ye Qingxuan also retracted his cane at the same time.

Very good, everyone is a person who abides by the rules, and no one has broken their promise, very good.

But then, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the professor's eyes, and the silver flute in his hand played a shrill melody again. He seized this brief gap and wanted to put this damn bastard to death!

But he didn't expect that after Ye Qingxuan retracted his cane, he took the crossbow from his companion beside him like flowing water, and then aimed at the magic circle.

Like a skilled assassin, he put his finger on the trigger and pressed it down half a degree!

The next moment, there would be a shocking explosion or a life-and-death fight.

But the two people's actions stopped again.

The sound of the flute dissipated, and the finger on the trigger of the crossbow slowly loosened.

"..."

"..."

Dead silence, an awkward dead silence.

"Despicable!" This is the professor's cold curse.

"Shameless!" This is Ye Qingxuan's response without hesitation.

"Disgusting!" This is Bai Xi finally found a chance to interrupt.

If there is a swearing contest, the score must be 1:2 now!

"Yeah, we won!"

Ye Qingxuan and Bai Xi clapped their hands in perfect harmony, whistled, and were so happy that their eyebrows flew.

For some reason, the professor suddenly felt powerless... Fighting wits and strength with these two fools is simply an insult to his IQ.

"..."

Both sides are still maintaining a stiff confrontation and silence.

The professor finally broke the silence and said, "It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this. Pu Su Po may come back at any time."

"That's right."

Ye Qingxuan nodded with appreciation, not without sarcasm: "What you said makes sense, it's really convincing."

"How about letting go at the same time this time?"

The professor suggested.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head and pointed at the magic circle between the two of them with his chin: "Letting go is easy, but what about the things? How to divide them?"

The professor sighed: "First dismantle the magic circle... Whoever dismantles it will own it."

"I agree."

Ye Qingxuan nodded politely: "I have a companion who helps me. Do you have any objection?"

The professor glanced at Bai Xi and nodded after realizing that she was just an apprentice.

"One, two...three!"

As the two people counted down in unison, Ye Qingxuan and the professor let go at the same time.

But at the same time, they subconsciously raised their hands, and finally, after noticing the other party's vigilance, they put them down with regret...

"This person will definitely be a big enemy in the future."

For some reason, Ye Qingxuan and the professor had the same thought at the same time. They subconsciously wanted to take action, but after seeing the other party's vigilance, they sighed with regret and took a step back in sync, indicating that they had no hostility.

Bai Xi looked at the two of them flirting and struggling, and couldn't help shaking his head:

"...You are so boring."

——

When the two of them clearly found that the other party had abided by the agreement and they had no chance to make a move, they gave up the idea of ​​taking the initiative.

It's better to take the treasure first, otherwise it would be bad if the fisherman took advantage of it.

However, the professor was just busy breaking the magic circle on his side, and had no intention of helping Ye Qingxuan.

Sometimes he looked over and looked at Ye Qingxuan's methods, as if he wanted to judge the skills and level of this mysterious enemy...

At this time, Ye Qingxuan naturally couldn't be seen by this guy.

It's just to break the magic circle. It's just to reverse the steps of building the magic circle and rearrange it. It's easy to use the interpretation method... No wonder!

If Abraham, who presided over the Requiem barrier, came here, it would be easy to break the resonance ring.

But Ye Qingxuan has only been in school for more than a month, and he hasn't even finished reading the book! He can only barely break down a single note. Once it involves a whole section, he is completely at a loss...

But it doesn't matter.

He really doesn't have any skills... But he has Bai Xi!

He turned around and glanced at Bai Xi: Cousin, it's your turn!

"Watch me!"

Bai Xi came up excitedly, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched out her index finger, pointing at the virtual point in front.

But just in front of her index finger, on the loop of the resonance ring, all the moving ethers collapsed in an instant.

Talent. Sway!

When it is fully deployed, it is a terrible force that can create black areas and make all ethers fall into frenzy. But when it condenses at the tip of the finger, it can become a "scalpel" that cuts off all barriers and etheric order!

Under the guidance of Hermes, she was able to simply control a trace of the terrible talent in her body a few days ago, without worrying that it would consume her at any time.

The little girl who loves to show off showed her great achievements to Ye Qingxuan at the first time, winning the boy's admiring eyes and gaining a strong sense of self-esteem.

Moreover, she did not hesitate to conceal and eliminate Hermes' teachings from the factors of success, and attributed it to her great talent.

So across the magic circle, the professor's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets.

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if his brain was broken.

What the hell is this? !
