[Exorcist Boy] The whole world thinks I'm a cannon fodder

"Wait, wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something," I put down the seventh fairy tale book I read, and pointed to myself, "Am I the only one in the headquarters who doesn't know what that LV.4 looks like so far?" your exorcist?"

The rabbi and Allen paused when they heard the words, and even Link, who was not sitting with us and was secretly writing a surveillance report to his Chief Ruberier at the other side of the long table, looked up. glanced at me.

Allen hesitated for a moment: "If you think about it this way, it seems to be true?"

"Well, I think it's good that I haven't seen it before." The rabbi closed the book in hand, leaned back, and stretched on the back of the chair, "That guy looks creepy. It will definitely be a nightmare if you see it."

"Yes," Allen strongly agreed with these words, "Although the previous demons were not good-looking, how can I put it, I always feel that LV.4 is fundamentally different from them... It's like exuding that cold and terrifying aura from the inside out... Anyway, it's better not to see it."

"...No, the problem is that the more you say that, the more curious I am?"

"Why are you curious about this?" The rabbi looked helpless.

"Strictly speaking, it's not all curiosity, think about it," I analyzed to them decently, "From past experience, it's not common for demons to have a promotion. Will it be mass-produced like an assembly line? Then the question is, now I am the only one who has never seen the true face of the enemy. If I really encounter it in future missions, won’t it be easy to suffer? "

The rabbi and Allen looked at each other, and seemed to think that what I said was quite reasonable.

"But, how can we let Sisi know what LV.4 looks like... By the way," Allen had a flash of inspiration, and quickly picked out a blank piece of paper among the scattered documents on the table, "Well, I will Let me draw it for you."

"You?" I couldn't hold back for a moment, and blurted out, "You draw?"

It's only been a few days, have you forgotten the painful lesson of drawing No. 14, a good black-faced steamed bun, into a four-dimensional image?

"Huh?" But he himself seemed to be unaware of this matter, and looked at me innocently and blankly, blinking his eyes, "What's wrong with Sisi? Is there any problem?"

"...No, no problem, you can draw."

However, as a result of the politeness, under our noses, an invisible portrait was released again.

I touched my chin with a heavy face: "This is..."

Goose that grows sideways?Or a stunted and deformed Cerberus three-headed dog?

No, you draw... people don't even have a direction to guess, but it's a bit too much, my friend.

"Ah—ah, forget it, I know you can't count on Allen," the rabbi sighed, and took the pen and paper, "Let me do it."

"What do you mean, Rabbi!"

The rabbi ignored him, turned the paper to the back, and outlined a figure with a big belly and a halo on his head in two strokes.

"It probably looks like this." The rabbi handed over the paper and showed us, "Except for those disgusting features, overall, the appearance is a bit...human?"

"It's true... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a human being," I took it in my hand, "and there is always a creepy feeling..."

"That's why I said, I didn't let you see it."

"However," I made a comparison between the front and back, and concluded solemnly, "This is really not a level."

Allen: "..."

Allen immediately reacted and stared at me dissatisfied: "Hello!"

"So Allen, tell me, you have been with Master for so long, why haven't you learned Master's stick figure skills?"

"It's as if you've learned it. You've been following me longer than me. Why don't you still draw the rabbi as a rabbit..."

I jumped up from the table and covered his mouth.

Rabbi: "...?"

The rabbi paused slightly, and asked with some uncertainty: "Well, did Allen just... mention my name?"

"No, he did not."

"NO, I have not."

I lay down on the table and pouted my butt in a rather indecent posture, and Allen, who not only covered his mouth but also gave me a glare, answered in unison.

"I said you two," the rabbi carefully observed the expressions of Allen and I, and concluded in a long voice, "It's suspicious——"

"W-how could it be?" Allen, who finally realized that he might have caused trouble, laughed dryly. Under the hint of my frantic winks and teeth grinding, he hurriedly made amends, "You really misheard."

"No, I'm sure I heard it right, Allen, you definitely mentioned me," the rabbi retorted firmly, "and said that Sisi drew me as...Huh? Sisi, you painted me ?"

"I haven't painted it," I quickly sat back on the chair, and raised two fingers with neither red nor white face, "I have never painted it, I promise I haven't painted it, and I haven't painted it to death."

Just kidding, may I tell you that the rabbit head I mounted on the wall of the room that you personally identified is you?impossible!

The rabbi squinted his eyes and looked at us for a few seconds. He seemed to be chasing after us, but in the end he sighed in compromise for some reason, and didn't go any further.

"Let's get back to the topic," the rabbi put his elbows on the table, propped his face with one hand, and pointed to the painting in my hand with the other, "As Sisi said just now, in future missions, I will definitely cooperate with you. Enemies of this level confront each other again, we... have to be careful."

Allen nodded, put away his joking expression, and then became serious.

"This LV.4," I asked, "is it very strong? How strong?"

After all, I am the only one who has not been in close contact with the scene, and it is difficult to have an intuitive feeling based on their previous descriptions.

"Let's put it this way," the rabbi gave me an example, "it's probably several times stronger than the sum of LV.1, LV.2, and LV.3."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration," Allen glanced at me, then turned to the rabbi, "Actually, I had this feeling as early as during the battle. I always felt that the appearance of LV.4 at the headquarters this time was like the earl telling We're—'Exorcist or something, I can wipe it out anytime...'"

This idea is quite creepy.

What's even more creepy is that Rabbi and Link, who had been in contact with LV.4, didn't refute it.

I couldn't help but think of the time in Edo, when the Earl was basically on the sidelines throughout the whole process, and the only time he made a move was to drop a black ball and razed the entire Edo to the ground.

So if his black ball can be thrown all over the world, what is the need for three days of darkness?

Throw dozens of them directly, and the world is gone.

The huge library fell into a dead silence at some point, and the air gradually increased in pressure.I looked at Allen and Rabbi, who looked solemn because they had a very intuitive understanding of LV.4, and then at Link, who was sitting on the other side without looking at us, but stopped the record at hand. , I just feel that with the current atmosphere, even a needle falling to the ground can be clearly heard.

"...So, now we can only wait for the results of the meeting between Master and the others. I heard that the central government sent him this time for this purpose." In the end, it was Allen who broke the silence first, rubbed his face, and sighed Tone, "No matter what, I hope Master can come back safely."

"As long as he can prove that he has nothing to do with Noah, he will naturally be able to return it smoothly." Link, who had been silent the whole time just now, suddenly interjected sternly.

Allen paused and gave me a helpless look.

"However... as expected, if we don't become stronger ourselves, it won't work." Allen took a deep breath, "Keep fighting, keep getting stronger, until all the demons are wiped out, and the Noah clan and the Earl of the Millennium are defeated—— There is only one way in front of us.”

... If you really want to be serious, this is not the only way to go.

For example, the Earl of the Millennium's dark three-day plan is actually... and so on.

I stopped suddenly, my heart beating several beats faster than usual.

What the hell am I thinking?

"...Okay, Allen, it's only been a while, so let's not talk about such a heavy topic for the time being," the rabbi's voice suddenly came from the side, "I didn't see Ceci's complexion. "

Just as I was startled by my own thoughts, I suddenly heard him mention my name, and for a moment, almost subconsciously, I turned around blankly.

The rabbi and I looked at each other for less than three seconds, and then reflexively stretched out our hands to me.

I knew he wanted to pat my head again - he was really addicted.

But this time the rabbi's hand didn't come down—he didn't know why in the middle of the journey, his eyes suddenly lifted, and after glancing at the clock on the wall that fell off due to the previous earthquake and hung up again crookedly, his expression suddenly changed. It just changed, and at the same time as he exclaimed, he withdrew his hand all at once.

"What, what's the matter?" Allen was taken aback by his surprise.

"It's bad, it's bad, I almost forgot, I made an appointment with someone to go there at this time-it's over, it seems to be too late."

Make a date?

The two invisible radars on my head immediately stood up sharply.

"Did you make an appointment with Shuweng?" I paused and asked casually.

"No, not the old man."

Zila—hope was extinguished in an instant.

"It's too late, let's not talk about it." The rabbi simply organized his things, and before getting up, he piled up the basic books he had read and pushed them towards me, "Please, Sisi, wait a while Let me go—see you later!"

I:"……"

No, you are going too far!Not only did you hurry to go on a date with someone else in front of me, but you also asked me to help you deal with the aftermath?

I immediately puffed up my face in displeasure.

The rabbi didn't even look at Alian and me out of the corner of his eye, he directly grabbed the regimental jacket on the back of the chair, and walked quickly to the door while wearing it.

Really, who did she make an appointment with? She was so anxious...

"Well, wait, wait a minute, Rabbi!" Allen faced my chug|going gaze, and asked me boldly, "Who did you make an appointment with? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's Jerry—" the rabbi replied without looking back.

The dark brown door of the library was quickly closed behind him with a click, and the dust that was brought up flickered and danced slightly in the sunlight coming in from the window.

"Jerry?"

Allen and I looked at each other in surprise.

Although Jerry's biological sex is male, his heart is actually more delicate than most of the women in the order.And usually at this time, it's basically time for him, Li Nali and Miranda to have a women's tea party together-I was dragged to participate once before, but because I couldn't get in the way more than Miranda, plus the drag He recently asked me to go to the library with him to read a book, and I basically never went there again-so how did he make an appointment with the rabbi?

"This is really... a strange combination." Allen also said.

·

Then I discovered that not only that day, but for a week after that, the rabbi would go to Jerry at certain fixed times.

Even the time with me and Alian has been reduced a lot.

Since we received the task of looking for the master a few months ago, we basically ate and lived together all the way. Even after returning to the religious order, he often sticks with me out of habit, so this time, unexpectedly Just leave me alone, I'm still a little subtly uncomfortable.

So, why did he go to Jerry...

Once I was really curious, so I sneaked up to the door of the back kitchen to block him.

"Sessessie?" The rabbi just came out of the room, and when he saw me, he stuttered in fright for some reason, "You, why are you here?"

Just as I was about to answer, I heard Jerry behind him beckoning me in: "Ceci is here? It's just in time, come and try this for me..."

"Jerry said they're making dinner for dinner!" the rabbi cut him off.

I looked at him, blinked, and suddenly leaned out to the left and looked inside.

"Ah! Se, Sisi," but he didn't expect that the rabbi would grab his shoulder and pull him back as soon as he moved, "You come to the cafeteria at this time, are you... are you hungry?"

"Actually... okay?"

As I said, while he was not paying attention, I leaned out to the right again.

"There's no food inside, inside," and the rabbi pulled him back to his original position, "Outside——yes! Look over there, there are still a lot of chocolate cakes left over there! Do you want to go and eat? ?”

I didn't say a word, I just honestly glanced at the direction the rabbi was pointing at, then turned around suddenly, jumped up, trying to break through from above.But I didn't want to be jumped, and the rabbi put his hand on the top of my head, and then...then I couldn't jump no matter how hard I tried.

I:"……"

No, this situation and this scene always feel a little familiar.

Is that how I treated Mimi back in the Grand Canyon?

It's just that compared to me and Mimi, Rabbi is obviously more difficult to break through, because his length, width and height are much higher than mine... basically covering me completely.

"Ah—I see! Ceci really came to look for me, right?" The rabbi quickly came to a conclusion, and before I could figure out a solution, he grabbed my shoulder and turned around, pushing I started to walk out, "The back kitchen is too messy, and there is still smoke, let's go out and talk, let's go—"

As I was pushed out by the rabbi, I turned my head and tried to dawdle the time: "Well, rabbi..."

"Wow! Look over there!" Then he turned his face back intact, "I didn't expect there was still strawberry pie left at noon!"

I:"……"

With all due respect, your way of changing the subject is more blunt than that of Jian Allen...

But the rabbi didn't give me any time to react, he just pushed me over, picked up a piece and stuffed it into my mouth.

...Don't say it, it's quite delicious.

Then eat this first, then ask...?

But what I didn’t expect was that as soon as I chewed what I had in my mouth, another piece was stuffed into my mouth by the rabbi. He kept stuffing me one piece after another, and basically didn’t talk to me. time.

What are you doing, after touching your head, you fell in love with feeding again...

Forget it, I thought, there is still time to ask after eating anyway.

But I didn't want to, before we finished eating, a guard rushed over and said that Chief Komui told us to go to the command room immediately.

The rabbi and I were the last ones to arrive. When we entered, there was already a circle of people around Komuyi's desk.

They are all the exorcists currently staying at the headquarters, including the marshal.

In the middle of the crowd, Li Nali, who had just recovered, was sitting on a chair next to Komuyi, and there was a blood-red ring on each of her feet.

And that ring is the topic of this meeting—it is said that after the preliminary research of the science class, it is considered to be a weapon born from the blood exchange with the equipment-type qualified person, that is, the product of the holy evolution of the equipment type , because it is between the equipment type and the parasitic type, it is a holy type that has never appeared before, so it is temporarily named the crystal type.

But because it is out of the category of equipment type, it is more parasitic in nature, so it will have some adverse effects on lifespan.

In short, it is to become stronger in exchange for shortening lifespan. .

"This kind of crystalline sanctity," Marshal Tiedore asked, "is only Li Nali able to do it?"

"This is not certain yet." Ke Muyi shook his head, "But according to the current research, under certain special circumstances, the probability of occurrence of other equipment-type qualified persons is also very high."

In other words, among the people present, except for me and Allen, all of them may transform into a crystal form in the future.

Including rabbis.

I turned my head slightly, wanting to look at him, but found that Shuweng frowned slightly, and looked at the rabbi seriously.

After the meeting, before the rabbi could speak to me, he was called away by the stern-faced rabbi to have a private conversation.

As for me, I was walking in the rear alone. After hearing George's voice, I suddenly glanced vaguely at the back of the man who was happily following Marshal Tiedore and Kanda.

In fact, during this period of time, many plans to put him to death were spontaneously and consciously formed in my head.

But no matter whether he used hypnosis to borrow a knife to kill people or did it himself, it was because he was always with Marshal Tiedore recently, so he couldn't be sure that nothing would go wrong.

And now in the church, most people already know about George's hostility towards Allen, and Allen is at this critical moment when he is suspected of being an enemy spy. If George is found to have died violently at this time, It's hard not to be used as evidence against Allen by those in the central government.

There are simply too many factors to consider.

But as expected, the most important thing is because—every time I think of it, my head will play the warning that Master gave me on that thunderstorm day in a brainwashing way.

If Allen still had a rabbi, until I got my hands on the "companion", I always felt that there was something, and I really couldn't go back.

I don't know exactly what that thing is, but I'm still terrified of the situation.

So sure enough...

"Are you thinking about crystallization?" Allen patted my shoulder from behind abruptly.

"Ah...well," I turned around and answered without any flaws, "That's right."

So really, we still have to think about it in the long run, and let Allen and George not have the opportunity to be alone for the time being.

What's more... even if it's just a thought, it will absolutely, absolutely not be noticed by them.

The author has something to say:

Change the cover!

I actually like to write about their four-person daily life, especially when Rabbi and Ceci are secretly rubbing...

Allen: "And now you don't even shy away from touching your head, stupid rabbi."

Rabbi: "...!"

You don't leave comments...

The next chapter will update QAQ at 18:[-] tonight
