The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

Chapter 8 The chess game where the cicada died in the late summer (1-8)

I stayed there for about 5 minutes, when Bian Yao finally finished his noodles and was slowly wiping the corners of his mouth.Looking at his appearance, another picture emerged in my mind: a cartoon snake wiping its mouth with a piece of toilet paper wrapped around its tail, with a bulging belly and a human sneaker falling beside it.

my sneakers.

I looked around—blue and white cafeteria tables and chairs, the floor was shiny with oil, the students were chatting and swiping their mobile phones, and the cleaning lady shuttled between the seats.This is the most common situation, but are there people among them who are not "monkeys" like Bian Yao?

I felt like I was in a "Men in Black" movie, surrounded by aliens in human skin.

In another scene, the snake that wiped his mouth was squeezed away——Bian Yao took out a zipper puller from under his bangs and pulled it down all the way after returning home.A snake came out of it, with the skin of "Bian Yao" in its mouth, opened the closet and hung it up.

I shook my head, adjusted my mood, and asked again: "Then have you formed a spiritual contract with others before?"

Bian Yao did not expect that I would return to the "Ten Questions" mode, but he was silent for a while before he said vaguely: "No, I have a special physique and it is difficult to find a match. Tell me specifically. You don't understand, anyway, I have always fought by myself."

I was a little surprised by this answer: "So... it's actually the first time you know what it's like to transform yourself into a weapon? Ah! Then I'm your first object?"

The voice of my second sentence was probably a bit loud, and the tables around looked sideways. Bian Yao had a look of wanting to die, and with his hands on his forehead, he said regretfully, "I shouldn't have appeared with you in public. Together."

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Listen, I came out to you today to tell you this. The spiritual contract between us was just a misunderstanding, no, it was a weird mistake at all! So I need you to cooperate with me and terminate the contract."

"Eh?" I heard the words and immediately dragged my voice out, "No need..."

Bian Yao interrupted me and said: "You are an outsider, you have never been in contact with the spiritual realm, and there are many rules and taboos in it that you don't understand. You must know that people who have never been trained rashly enter the spiritual realm without guidance." Domain, it’s very dangerous—you were in a coma for dozens of hours just now, did you forget? Next time if you’re unlucky and die inside, I don’t want to call your parents and ask them to pick up the vegetative.”

"Can't you guide me?" I said dissatisfied, "Speaking of which, didn't you sneak into my room when I was unconscious, and then healed my shoulder?"

Bian Yao showed an offended and disgusted expression: "Are you narcissistic? Who would sneak into your room?"

Seeing his stubborn refusal to admit it, I thought to myself, forget it, this person is Tsundere.Still struggling with his mouth: "For the sake of world peace, I am willing to sacrifice a little bit of my freedom..."

Bian Yao categorically refused: "No!"

Seeing that his attitude was not a joke, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Ah? Why... You didn't form a team anyway, did you?"

Bian Yao looked at me reluctantly, and still told the truth: "Because you, as an art body, if your mental strength is strong enough, you can control many kinds of weapons. But, as a weapon, I can only match one Art body. And when the contract takes effect, I will be judged by Lingyu as 'half team', so I can no longer enter the battle as an individual."

He pointed at himself, and poked me again: "And even if I don't form a spiritual contract, I don't want to be poked around by you, a cute newcomer."

So under the urging of Bian Yao, we soon entered the chessboard enchantment again.

This time there are no enemies in the spiritual domain, and the whole space is emitting a soft blue-white light, and I finally have the leisure to observe this world carefully.The black and white bricks with marble pattern are laid staggeredly under the feet, and the subtle light seeps through the cracks between the bricks, which makes it feel quite real when you step on it.The chessboard has a large area, and the space outside the edge is shrouded in mist, and the silhouettes of mountains and cities can be vaguely seen. It is not known whether it is a real world or a symbolic map.

At this moment, I saw some strange shadows again from the corner of my eye, and when I took a closer look, a translucent knight was wiping his iron sword on the chessboard three steps away.The knight was covered in armor and was tall. Standing on the chess table, he was a full two meters high.There was only a thin slit in his metal helmet, and his face was completely invisible, but I could feel his eyes move a little in my direction.

When I was wondering, a translucent queen chess piece suddenly appeared next to him.She is extremely beautiful and elegant, sitting lazily in the gorgeous armchair, combing her hair as if no one else was there, as if she felt my gaze, she looked at me from top to bottom proudly.

"Cough cough." Bian Yao coughed twice, and the two chess pieces looked up at him one after another, and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Looking at the afterimage left by the smoke, I suddenly recalled the appearance of Gao Fan last time - when he first entered the spiritual realm, he looked exactly like himself in this world, and then his shadow turned into the shape of a monster , and then he also turned into a tentacle monster.Thinking of this, I looked down at my own shadow, no matter how I looked at it, it was still a boring human form.

I went to look at Bian Yao's feet again, and suddenly found that the shadow at his feet was not a human figure, but a huge winding snake!Although it was just a shadow, it could be seen that the snake had coiled several times, only a triangular head and a short tip of the trembling tail were exposed.

It was so amazing, I couldn't help raising my arm and stretching out my hand - when the shadow of my hand was about to touch the snake's head, the snake's mouth suddenly opened wide and bit me down.

"Ahhh!" Even though it was just my reflection being bitten, I still yelled out in fright, and subconsciously quickly withdrew my hand and put it in my arms.I raised my head abruptly, and saw Bian Yao sticking out his tongue triumphantly at me—a letter with a forked tip.

"Don't scare people casually, okay!" I complained.

Bian Yao didn't bother to pay attention to me at all, he stretched out his finger, hooked it in the air, and a silvery white light landed on his fingertip.The light end is his chest, and this end is connected to our chest.

I instantly forgot the anger of being frightened, and asked curiously: "Is this red thread the spiritual deed?"

Bian Yao looked like he was about to vomit blood: "What red line, please don't talk about it here, please? Do you understand what it means to speak spiritually? All words are spiritual in themselves, and once they are spoken, they will bring substance The power of it. In the spiritual domain, names are also very important things, you can't just call them casually!"

"Oh, I remember," I said, "Your name is Gao Fan. After he agreed, it was like accepting a challenge."

Then we both thought at the same time—after that, I called Bian Yao's name, stretched out my hand, and turned him into a golden jiao scissors.

Seeing his serious look, I deliberately teased him: "Alright, alright, so what should I do to break off the marriage?"

Hearing this, Bian Yao started to roll his eyes and foam at the mouth.

"It's still too late to give up now," I said, laughing until my stomach cramped, "You and I are under the sky of fate."

Bian Yao gave up the rescue completely, and confessed weakly: "Follow me, put your hands together and hold the deed. This is the thread. Interlace your thumbs and let the white thread pass through your palm like this."

I followed his example and did so. The silvery-white light had no substance, but when I touched it, it gave off a slight heat, swimming in my palm.

Bian Yao said, "Follow me and read your own name."

I nodded and said, "I know, it's the same as taking an oath to join the party."

"I am Bian Yao."

"I'm Zou Chuyang."

"Use art as body, use body to drive soul, use words as spirit, form a bond with spirit."

"Use art as body, use body to drive soul, use words as spirit, form a bond with spirit."

"I wish to break the chain and terminate the spiritual contract in order to undo the soul knot."

After listening to it, my face couldn’t be stretched anymore—the first few sentences are fine, but the latter few sentences are not the famous words of an Internet celebrity cloth teacher in Baodao?

"Break the soul knot, break the chain, and break all entanglements!" I have heard more than one version of the brainwashing remix of these magic sounds.

Seeing the ever-changing expressions on my face, Bian Yao's eyes were about to pop out, and he almost wrote the words "Don't talk coquettishly" on his forehead, and the snake shadow on the ground wriggled uncomfortably.

I repeated with all my self-control: "I wish to undo the soul tie, cut off the chain, and terminate the spiritual contract."

"Effective immediately."

"Effective immediately."

After reading these short sentences, I closed my eyes and felt for a while—well, I felt nothing.I opened my eyes and looked down at the silver-white thread, still shining brightly.

I wondered: "Is it over? Why hasn't it changed? Isn't the red line still there?"

Bian Yao looked more confused than me, and he almost broke his voice: "What's going on!?"

He opened his mouth halfway, blinked his eyes and pulled up the deed to look around—the two ends of the white light were still firmly hanging on the two of us.

So, in the next hour, I accompanied Bian Yao and recited this sentence countless times, and then waited for him to re-inquire about the ritual process of contacting the spirit deed, and watched him turn the spirit deed into his hands like restarting the computer. The domain closes and reopens.But no matter how I try, the result is still the same.

In the end, Bian Yao sat down on the chessboard, and the snake shadow at his feet was also lying upright, revealing the words "Life is nothing to love", and two translucent archers looked down curiously at the top of his head. he.

His figure was so depressing that I couldn't bear to watch it anymore. I couldn't help but said, "Hey, is it really that bad? Why are you staring at me? I'm innocent too. I'm just a newbie."

"I will definitely find a way to untie it!" Bian Yao said viciously, "Before that, I will never share my commission fee with you!"
