Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

The alley was covered in blood, dark red liquid hung on the walls, and mutilated or neat corpses lay on the ground.

Xia Long wiped his hands and walked out of the alley. When he reached the entrance of light, Jinglong came out from the side, frowned, looked at Xia Long, who was covered with black mist and quickly licked the blood off his body.

"There are too many of these monsters that live on corpses."

Xia Long was wearing black trousers, a black jacket over a white long-sleeved shirt, and a black baseball cap on his head. The black mist was like a flame that gradually engulfed him and the bloodstains on his black clothes and white shirt.

"You have to be careful about this if you want to follow me." Xia Long wiped his hands. As he stroked them, the blood on both hands disappeared. "It's not just me who's hunting them. They will naturally follow my trail and kill me."

"How about taking a rest for a while? You haven't slept for at least three days." Nishikida Kojuro Jinglong shook his head and suggested.

"I don't need sleep. I can sleep once in a while if I want to. Sleep is not essential for me to maintain life."

Xia Long was not surprised. Every time Jinglong needed to sleep at night, he would take the opportunity to continue doing something at night and come back at the end of the night. It was a miracle that he was not discovered.

It is now fourteen days after the end of the Sukuna ghost time, which is exactly two weeks.

I have arrived in Hokkaido, but not by crossing the ocean. Instead, I took a cruise ship for a different idea.

On the cruise ship was the first time that Xia Long really took action in front of Jinglong. It was also at night, and when Jinglong was still unaware, Xia Long walked to the deck without saying a word. Jinglong hadn't slept yet, so he wondered what was going on.

But of course the mystery was soon revealed. On the deck, Xia Long killed three monsters called "Kirialods". They were two men and one woman who followed them quietly after they came out of the room.

Xia Long then told Jinglong that they could not take the cruise, and pulled Jinglong off the ship, and went to Hokkaido under the escort of a giant beast.

After arriving in Hokkaido, Xia Long drew up a route, which was basically a map, and the route was almost entirely along the mountains. Mountains account for more than half of Hokkaido's area, and green forests account for about 60 to 70 percent.

"It seems to be close to the asceticism of monks."

Jinglong said this sincerely.

——Then, they were assassinated several times along the way.

That is, the enemy named Sharon, the so-called Kirieloid.

In two weeks, 14 days, there were a total of 7 assassination attempts, an average of one every two days. They were so frequent that even Jinglong couldn't help but frown and wanted to rub his temples.

What’s even more unusual is that during these 14 days, Xia Long didn’t eat, drink or sleep.

To be honest, Jinglong is already a soul. If he maintains his soul state and possesses a human body, he can go without food and water, but he cannot go without sleep. After possessing a physical body, he must eat, drink and sleep, otherwise he will not be able to maintain his state.

In Jinglong's eyes, although Xia Long was indeed very abnormal and not a human being, from their acquaintance over the past few days, he did not think that he was a being beyond human knowledge. Instead, he seemed like a sorcerer who had embarked on an evil path in magic.

Although it is abnormal - human will is still present, it is indeed abnormal.

14 days without food, water or sleep - if you get used to this, how can you still confidently say that you are a human being?

A wooden puppet that is tireless and can only wield a sword.

For this reason, Jinglong almost felt that he could no longer bear to keep his mouth shut.

He frowned. "A warrior needs to endure loneliness and pain alone, and face weakness, in order to become a stronger self. But you seem to have gone too far. Even the sharpest samurai sword in the world needs to be polished from time to time. If it is always soaked in blood, it will inevitably rust."

Xia Long did not comment and said, "Let's go, we'll talk later."

Xia Long started walking, but Jing Long still followed closely behind him, constantly persuading him;

"Your mental state is not right. Although you are not human, even a monster should not have such a strange way of thinking. If you don't vent your desires or speak out loud, the strings in your brain will become tighter and tighter, and will eventually break."

Jinglong shook his head; "I don't drink alcohol or eat meat, I don't care about beauty, power or money, and I even give up the need for health."

"I just finished a battle, so don't say those words." Xia Long said in a calm voice.

Jinglong shut his mouth. After every battle, Xia Long's spirit would become a little fluctuating. To use a more modern term, he would be a little mentally weak, with both extroversion and introversion, and a feeling of bipolar disorder.

Obviously, he had anticipated this kind of thing. When Xia Long said in a seemingly calm tone not to bother himself, it meant that he was trying his best to resist this impulse.

The samurai resisted the urge to draw his sword in the face of insult.

Jinglong was frowning. What should he do?

Xia Long took his soul and reshaped his body. In other words, even if they couldn't be described as his reborn parents, they could definitely be called his saviors. After two weeks of contact, he gradually let go of his initial resistance to Xia Long.

It’s not that surprising, because he is not the type who would kill any monster he sees.

But if you become the one who wants to help, you don’t know where to start.

Difficult to handle, difficult to handle.

Jinglong is not good at sighing, but solving Xia Long's problem is not a quick solution.

Xia Long's problem is that he is gradually losing the desire to be a normal person. It's not about satisfying low desires, but losing desires. The difference between the two is more than a world of difference.

Once you lose your desire, you will become indifferent. Once you lose your passion and have a firm goal, your means will become cruel. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being cruel to the enemy, but Xia Long is dealing with demons and monsters. In front of demons and monsters, if you cannot maintain your original intention with the most firm belief, you will suffer a miserable defeat.

Maybe it's not a physical defeat, but a spiritual defeat. It's a defeat that can't save oneself. Being able to save others and kill monsters doesn't necessarily mean you can save yourself.

However, why does Xia Long have such a firm belief? Is it because of some major event or a long period of torturous life?

Jinglong thought about this problem. The swordsman thinks quickly because in a real battle he only has time to use his honed muscle memory to fight back.

Jinglong's destiny is to kill monsters. The reason for this destiny is that Jinglong has a pair of eyes that can see through sneaky things since he was born. Because of these eyes, he also suffered a lot, but in the end he survived and was able to take a knife to kill monsters.

Where is Xia Long?

Did he also have an experience that was close to fate?
