soul stone

After that, Xue Ye's physical strength gradually recovered at the rate of every meal, and she was able to get out of bed and walk around casually.Although she has always maintained an "extreme" state, the team members also regard this as a self-protection behavior to conserve energy and speed up recovery.From their point of view, Xue Ye at this time, like ordinary people who can't read, poses no threat to the brigade.

Among the members of the brigade, Xue Ye has a nickname - the girl with dilated stomach.When hearing from Pike, Kuroro almost spit out the drink he just drank.He really couldn't associate the name with her.

"She really doesn't seem to remember anything. The memory starts after Kuruta's eyeballs are removed, and then goes blank."

"yes……"

When clearing away the teacups, Pike wanted to find some expression on the leader's face, but unfortunately found nothing.He was still so tight that no one could guess what he was thinking.Pike turned and left calmly. Just as he put his hand on the doorknob, he heard the sound of heavy objects being dragged outside.

Pushing the door open to the corridor, I bumped into a girl in a kimono with red background and white flowers head-on, her cat-like black pupils were slightly hanging from the corners of her eyes, and the amethyst earring on her right ear swayed wildly with her footsteps.When she saw Pike, she nodded with a faint smile.

"Good afternoon, Miss Paconoda."

"Ah, good afternoon." A slightly stiff reply.

"I'm getting ready for lunch, come along?"

Pike glanced behind her.The wooden crate was covered with crushed ice, filled to the brim with fish, and the crate was big enough to hold a nest of gold.

"This is... arctic cod?"

"And haddock, butterflyfish, and capelin." The girl's eyes flashed the bright light of gourmet food.

"Uh... no need, I just had lunch." Pike stepped back in embarrassment, and fled in the opposite direction with high heels.Let's not talk about the names of those fish if you haven't heard them before. Just the strange shape and weird color are enough to make her sick.

Watching Pike leave, Xue Ye said to the people in the room: "Is my taste too strange?"

Kuroro returned with a "you understand" expression.

"But I think it's delicious. It's very chewy to bite, as if I can imagine their heroic posture riding the wind and waves in the sea."

Kuroro was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly: "I thought you didn't like meat. You said that eating animals is cruel."

"Did I really... say that?" She frowned as if trying to search her memory.

"I also said that I should never see the prototype of meat in this life."

Xue Ye glanced at him suspiciously, then turned her head to face the front of the empty corridor.

"Isn't it just food?"

After speaking, she pulled up the rope dragging the wooden box.Frozen sea fish are about to make their last short journey.Ten meters away from the room, a slender figure turned from the opposite staircase.Xue Ye narrowed her eyes.

"Ah, Miss Xue Ye." The silver-haired man greeted naturally, then walked around Xue Ye and grabbed a fish directly from the ice wooden box.The fish was as slender as him, with a row of spike-like dorsal fins, and its frozen fish eyes glared silently at the person who lifted it up.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Joshua." Xue Ye nodded politely, "Would you like to eat together?"

"Okay," the long pale face smiled satisfied, "We have similar tastes. Take a closer look, your earrings are also purple."

Xue Ye raised her neck and met a pair of crystal-clear purple pupils.

"Mr. Joshua is a gourmet?"

"I can't be called a gourmet. I just taste delicious food when I travel around the world."

Joshua, who picked up the kitchen knife, moved like flowing water, and the sliced ​​sashimi was as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear.Xue Ye picked up a slice with chopsticks, facing the sun, it seemed to be transparent.Putting it on the tip of the tongue, the rich taste and extreme deliciousness are swept away like waves.

Putting down the chopsticks, Xue Ye straightened her back and sat upright on her knees, bowing to thank her.

"It turns out that you are a super chef, you are really amazing."

"Miss Xue Ye is awesome. The food made by myself is the most delicious, I think so."

Joshua patted his stomach that was still flat after eating a lot, took out two oranges from the big travel bag, and threw them to Xue Ye.Xue Ye took it without blinking, dug a small hole with her thumb, then peeled off half of the skin around the small hole, stuffed it into her mouth like eating a boiled egg, chewed carefully, and was careful not to let the juice overflow.

"The force just now, but it was thrown so hard, an ordinary person would have broken a bone long ago." The silver-haired man shook his head slightly, "You are the one who is amazing, Miss Xue Ye."

"what?"

Joshua didn't answer, he yawned a lot, found a fruit knife from his bag, and started cutting oranges.

"Some people peel and eat it with their hands. It's really interesting."

"Some people cut and eat it with a knife. It's really interesting."

"Hey, Miss Xue Ye. I heard that you have lost your memory. Is it true?"

Xue Ye put away the peeled orange peel and checked whether the orange juice was on her hands.

"Does this matter have anything to do with Mr. Joshua?"

Joshua put down the knife and laid out the quartered oranges in their original shape.

"I can help you recall."

Xue Ye tilted her head in confusion.

"First, you have been trained, and you have read. Although the real strength is unknown, it seems that you are a master if you don't need to read."

He picked up a quarter of the oranges and placed them in front of Xue Ye.

"Second, you like polar fish and meat, and hardly eat vegetables and fruits. Your growing environment is likely to be on a polar island."

The second orange petal was pushed under Xue Ye's eyes.

"Third, the way you eat oranges is different from anyone else here...except the leader."

third quarter.

"In the end...the leader seems to care about you very much. You seem to have known each other a long time ago and have a close relationship."

The slender fingers pushed the last piece of orange petal, and the four parts were assembled into one with perfect precision.Joshua held it in his hand and weighed it. The orange that had been split into four pieces turned into a complete oval shape.He shrugged, threw it on the floor casually, leaned over and stood up, stretching a lot.

"The head of the group with you is not the Kuroro Rushiru I know."

"What a coincidence, I feel the same way." Xue Ye closed her eyes, with a polite but distanced smile on the corner of her mouth, "The leader you mentioned is not like the person I know."

Joshua turned his head, his slender eyes shot out dark purple light.

"You changed him."

The girl in the kimono leaned forward and stood up, holding the cut orange in her left hand.

"You're right, it's not that I don't remember anything. I knew him before you, before he became Kuroro Rushiru. If you have to say it, it was Meteor Street and you who changed him."

She dropped the orange to reveal the circle at the bottom, pressing out a semicircle with her right thumb.

"I don't have a problem with that. In my eyes, he's still the same guy I know."

She peeled the orange piece by piece with her fingers and ate it in small bites.Joshua witnessed this process silently, packed his big travel bag, smiled helplessly, and turned the doorknob with silent steps.

"Goodbye, Miss Xue Ye. I hope you are our friend."

"Thank you for the hospitality." Xue Ye bowed politely and thanked.

Under the black sky, snowflakes fluttered one after another, covering the garbage mountain that filled the field of vision with a cloak of ugliness.Large pieces of garbage stick out of the snow, and the mountain of garbage seems to be covered with bald heads.A thin figure hurried through the rubbish mountains, the hood of the fur cloak was tightened tightly with small snow-white hands, breathing out a cloud of white gas.A street finally appeared in front of him.

Xue Ye stood still in front of an inconspicuous small door, calmed down, and took out a note from the cloak.He raised his head to compare with the wooden signboard painted with violets, hesitated for two seconds, and knocked on the door of the store with his fingers.

"I'm really sorry, this store is closed in winter." A dull voice came through the wooden door, like dry bread that had been dried in the desert for three days.

"Please open the door, Miss Bonita." Xue Ye ignored it, "Mr. Nobunaga introduced me."

There was a moment of silence inside the door, and then there was the sound of slippers approaching.With a creak, the wooden door opened a small crack, and the bell on the door was covered with putty, and the sound was exactly the same as the speaker's voice, exuding an atmosphere of decay and depression.The hand holding the door is as thin as a stick, but the shape of the hand is very beautiful, and you can vaguely glimpse the charm of the past.The pale-white blond hair lay lifelessly on his head, and the bun casually tied behind his head was like a dry tumbleweed.She rolled her deep-set dark brown eyes, and vigilantly looked at the visitor with only her eyes exposed.

"Who... are you?" There was no tone that should be in the question, just like the stereotyped voice from a typewriter.

"Hi, I'm Mr. Nobunaga's friend, my name is Mifuyu." Xue Ye nodded, "I heard that you have the best knife in the world."

The skinny woman frowned slightly, opened the door just enough for one person to enter sideways, and without saying "please come in", she entered the room with a candlestick in her hand, still looking behind her from time to time.

This woman has no strength, she has been hurt before, and now she is very suspicious - this is Xue Ye's first judgment.

She walked into the store with the woman calmly and looked around.All kinds of knives are hung on the four walls, ranging from palm-sized daggers to ceiling-high machetes.

"Customization is not accepted during the closing period. Check out what you want here." Bonita twisted her thin lips and spit out words in a straight line.

Xue Ye blinked, and looked at the steps protruding from the corner of the wall.

"There must be something more in line with your store's reputation."

The woman stood up with a jerk, resting her hands on the counter, her eyes widening angrily.

"There's nothing there."

Bonita grabbed a pistol from the drawer and pointed it at Xue Ye's position, only to find that there was no one there.

In the temporary base of the brigade, a group of people were playing poker.Suddenly the three of them opened their eyes wide at the same time, staring at the straight flush played by the other.

"I won again."

"Damn it, you cheated!" Nobunaga bared his teeth.

"Stop talking nonsense, get the money quickly." Maggie stretched out her hand.

"Oh, Maggie's intuition is still so accurate." The knight shuffled the cards with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Nobunaga," Franklin turned his head, "you really let her go to Meteor Street?"

"She's going by herself, and I also want to see her strength." Nobunaga played with his beard comfortably, with anticipation in his eyes, "If you can't even handle that level, staying with the leader is also a burden... ...Hey, Fei Tan, what's the matter, do you want to play a game?"

"I don't play such useless games." The little man frowned, "Didn't the owner of that shop die a few years ago?"
