Lost Narrative Poetry

"Treemap designer, not broken."

"Kamijo Touma has no amnesia."

"No one was injured and the matter was resolved satisfactorily."

Back in his apartment, Xia Ran inspected today's harvest and nodded with great satisfaction. The only regret was that there was one precious photo missing from the digital camera.

Well, although there is also a precious CG of "Saint" Kanzaki Kaori as a benefit, after all, it is not a skin painting like "Fallen Angel Erotic Maid Outfit", so naturally it is not as precious as what Xia Ran is most looking forward to. The shocking scene of killing the "Dragon King" with one knife.

It's a pity that the big guy's senses were too keen, and he was very decisive and ran away for his life at the first opportunity.

He doesn't care about dignity at all.

This is a very good villain character quality. More than 99% of his colleagues do not have such professional quality, so they either die from talking too much or die from being stubborn. However, the "Dragon King" was able to win over Xia Ran Escaped with life in hand——

Miracles and magic do exist!

It's just that the person involved didn't like this very much. Xia Ran sighed and put down the digital camera, feeling that this perfect day seemed to have drawn a not-so-perfect ending, just like a little ink dot on a white paper. , although it is only a trivial stain, it looks extremely dazzling.

A little bit of disharmony can cause great damage to the whole.

"This won't work, why don't we replace this head, otherwise the end of the day will be too regretful..." The magician frowned and thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but stand up from the sofa, and at the same time looked at A bright red light like blood bloomed in his eyes.

A complex and mysterious magic array appeared on his retina. The next moment, two magic arrays with a diameter of more than one meter were reflected in the air like images projected by a projector.

The node of the two magic arrays, which corresponds to the position between Xia Ran's eyebrows, seems to have created some energy gap. Dark lightning visible to the naked eye shoots out everywhere, tearing open the cracks in the space...

All of this is exactly like the scene reappearing in the evening when the "Automatic Script" defense system on Index activates its magic.

It is the magic formula "St. George's Sanctuary".

But this is easy to understand. Although I have never come into contact with it before, this evening, the silver-haired nun personally exerted such power in front of Xia Ran. Since he saw it on the spot, he directly obtained the corresponding magic formula and mastered it. This magic is also normal.

It was an easy thing to do, so there was nothing surprising about it.

"Let me think about it, the next step is to derive "Dragon Breath" based on this magic..." The magician muttered to himself while looking around, seemingly searching in the living room. What a handy weapon.

During this process, the two magic arrays floating in the air also moved accordingly, as if they were fixed on his eyes. As his head swayed and his eyes moved, they also moved accordingly. .

Just like a working projector, if someone moves it, the projection results will naturally be affected and change.

"Forget it, let's just do this. I won't choose... to save you the trouble."

Probably because he didn't find any weapons that he could use. After all, the living room was just a living room, and he didn't try to change its functionality, so don't expect to find any regular weapons in the living room. Xia Ran finally fixed his sights in front of him. In the fruit basket on the table.

There was a fruit knife lying quietly there.

He exhaled slightly, bowed and picked it up, weighed it in his hand, and turned the knife around casually. Although he was very dissatisfied, it was the only one, so let's make do with it... Anyway, it's the same. As a result, there should be no difference between being stabbed to death by a fruit knife and being beheaded by some dragon-slaying holy sword, right?

Presumably the "Dragon King" wouldn't mind such trivial details.

"If you are going to die, who cares what kind of weapon you were killed by?" Xia Ran convinced himself, thinking that this should be the truth. "And it didn't express any objection. It definitely thinks so..."

After reaching a consensus with the "Dragon King", he gathered his momentum and looked straight ahead, preparing to activate the second derivative magic while maintaining the current magic field, preparing to truly bring a perfect end to this imperfect day——

That's right, he woke up and realized that he actually mastered the corresponding magic, and he could also summon a certain big guy who escaped today...

There is no need to dwell on things that have failed before. There are not many opportunities, right? Xia Ran secretly praised her resourcefulness to make enough food and clothing by herself.

"Wait, that's not right..."

The magician suddenly looked at the fruit knife in his hand and frowned.

Although the big guy certainly wouldn't mind what kind of weapon he was killed by, how could he forget his original intention? ——It’s just for an epic shocking shot, so what does it mean to hold a fruit knife by yourself? Aren’t the photos taken then funny?

"Um?"

At this time, he frowned slightly, shook his head to disperse the magic circle in the air and the dark cracks that spread to every corner of the room. The bright red light in his eyes also faded away, and at the same time, he gently stretched out his other hand. With his free left hand, he fished into the air.

Like fishing a fish out of the water, the next moment, a red-haired twintail was held in his hands.

The girl's eyes were a little dull, as if she had lost her soul. She was held in his hand without any struggle or resistance.

Xia Ran put her back on the ground, patted her clothes and tidied up her appearance. Her movements were as familiar as a child who fell down and an adult picked her up and then performed a series of habitual movements. baby behavior.

After finishing all this, he said very calmly: "Remember to leave the door next time."

"..."

"..."

After a while, the red-haired girl with twin ponytails slowly came back to her senses. She raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, then looked at the living room around her, and said quietly: "What was that... just now?" ? I seem to have fallen into another dimension..."

Jiebiao Danxi has been here before, although it was only once, but it was enough, so she came here this time with ease. She directly set the coordinates in the other party's living room and jumped directly through the ability to move in space. come over.

Then……

There was a little accident.

She did not appear in Xia Ran's living room as she wished, but in an instant she felt that she had fallen into a dark space, as if a weightless quagmire had captured her, making her trapped deep in it, unable to extricate herself in the darkness. It seems to be falling continuously, and I can't feel anything.

There is no up, down, left, or right, no direction, nothing, and cannot sense the existence of the outside world, and cannot even activate its abilities.

The most terrifying thing was that in the dark and deep distance, there was an extremely dangerous animalistic aura. She couldn't tell what it was. Maybe it was a sixth sense originating from the spiritual level or deep in the soul, or maybe it was a... This is a beastly instinct related to danger that humans have had since ancient times.

The pulse of some great life...

Some kind of irresistible force...

Distance beyond time and space...

When the girl noticed the aura dormant in the depths of darkness, her body trembled uncontrollably and instinctively.

Time seemed to stand still, and it seemed to fly by. Maybe it was as long as a whole century, or maybe it was just a short moment. In short, in the darkness with no sense of time, her mind went blank. She didn't know how long it had passed, but suddenly I felt a vibration all around.

An invisible hand grabbed her directly and returned to reality.

Jiebiao Danxi looked around and took a long breath. For the first time, she felt that being alive was such a beautiful thing. She had already developed a great fear of that hellish place just now, and she never wanted to experience it again.

"No way, you may have been using your abilities abnormally, and you just had a small accident, and accidentally teleported yourself into the wall..." The magician had no intention of explaining it at all, and just said casually.

"you……!!"

Jie Biao Danxi's already pale face suddenly turned a bit white again. Although she knew that this person was talking nonsense and changing the subject, these words were still too scary and aroused her psychological shadow.

However, she was still unconvinced and asked, squeezing her neck: "Then why did you just say that you would remember to leave the door next time?"

"Isn't this a normal reminder? If you don't open the door and just teleport here without any warning, what if I am doing something that is not suitable for others to know?" Xia Ran said with a calm smile, "You also You don’t want me to kill people and silence them, do you?”

"Hmm...could it be that kind of thing? It's so disgusting..."

A look of undisguised disgust appeared on Jiebiao Danxi's face. She subconsciously looked around, thinking that she might find some traces or tissues that had not been cleaned up in time, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of the magician. Fruit knife in hand.

"..."

"..."

The girl pursed her lips tightly and took a step back, as if she had thought wrong?

Could it be that the shady things the other party said were actually bloody? Isn't this person some kind of perverted murderer behind the scenes? Could it be that the room with the closed door over there actually contains imprisoned victims or corpses?

"Stop thinking nonsense, am I such a violent person?" Xia Ran waved her hand helplessly in front of her, but she still held the knife in her hand, "I am obviously a pacifist, and I don't want to see blood. Normally, you wouldn’t even take the initiative to hurt ants, okay?”

"You are really kind-hearted..." Jiebiao Danxi twitched her lips, "I am here this time because the chairman asked me to bring you a message."

"He said……"

"The Crusaders are preparing for a war."

Jiebiao Danxi said seriously, while staring closely at the expression of the young man in front of her, trying to see something from the changes in his eyes.

The Crusaders are preparing for war or something. It seems inexplicable to her. What era is it now? Do those religions still think that they are the masters of world power? Or was it the old days when kings had to kneel down and beg the Pope for forgiveness, when the Vatican, which was no bigger than a booger on the map, was the center of the world?

It's just that the chairman specifically asked her to say this, but she couldn't be sure, so she could only look at Xia Ran curiously.

"Oh, I know." The magician nodded, and then looked at the red-haired twin-tailed man in front of him. "Speaking of which, how have you considered the previous matter? Are you planning to come to my place to accept it? Psychotherapy?”

"..."

"..."

"...You...that's all you want to say?"

Jie Biao Danxi held it in for a long time, but she still felt that she couldn't help it——

"Didn't you hear what I just said? The Crusaders are preparing for a war! War!"

"You heard that? Didn't I just say oh?" Xia Ran stared at the girl in confusion. Didn't she already know?

He had known about this for a long time, and even expected that Aleister would specifically inform him of the decision. There was nothing surprising... No matter whether the Hanged Man knew it or not, he had been watching the secret meeting between him and Laura. , at least the attitude and position are very clear.

That is, Aleister will never side with magic.

"..." Jie Biao Danxi had a dark face, feeling that she had really wasted her feelings.

…

…

"He didn't have any special reaction. Either he already knew it or he just didn't care..."

In the windowless building, the chairman, wearing green surgical clothes and hanging upside down in a huge test tube, spoke in a calm voice.

"Isn't this what we expected? Aleister." A female voice mixed with the noise sounded, "If you can't even deal with his pawns and lackeys, how can you replace the throne of the authority? "

"That's true...let me see how far he can go."

Aleister smiled slightly. He didn't know how many years had passed, but he once again had such expectations, looking forward to the coming of the future.

Only chaos has a chance, whether it is good or bad, and besides... He will react, doesn't it mean that this Antichrist can really threaten the crown and behind the triple curtain?

He looked at a screen in the center of the room. Not long ago, the Supreme Bishop was negotiating with Academy City through it. Although it was putting pressure on him, it also revealed an extremely critical and important information...

…………

"Aleister! Let me just say it directly, he must die!"

St. George's Cathedral in London, in this solemn and sacred building, is the de facto leader of the English Puritan Church. The archbishop has an extremely high status in the entire world. He must look seriously at the monitor placed on the preaching altar.

Her voice was full of helplessness, and there was a faint but undoubted killing intent in her eyes.

"Do you know the covenants made between man and God in the Bible? Now, not long ago, after the eight covenants..."

she says:

"A new covenant has appeared!"

…

…

After sending away Jiebiao Danxi, Xia Ran no longer had the interest to continue slaying the dragon. She also didn't want to continue to be peeped by Aleister, so she waved her hand to block the "sight" in the room.

Without the outsiders, his expression became much more serious, and he turned and walked back to the room with the door always closed.

The room was empty, there was nothing, only one thing was very conspicuous, and that was a cabinet made of acacia wood covered with gold inside and outside placed quietly in the center. On top of the cabinet were two statues made of gold. Angels face each other and enclose a space with their wings.

"Is it really meant to be useful at this time?"

The magician muttered, and the "Hanged Man" tarot card and this thing were also brought over.

Even he felt a little guilty. After all, it is said that wherever the Ark of the Covenant is placed, it means the presence of God... So what is his current behavior? He is openly trying to usurp the throne in front of this person. ? I always feel that I am at risk of starting a business and failing halfway through it.
