soul stone

When she opened her eyes again, Xue Ye only felt a splitting headache, and her whole body was limp and unable to exert strength.It was pitch black.Standing up against the wall, she took the flashlight out of her cloak and shot it around.The torchlight cast bloodstains on the walls.

Bonita fell at her feet, her torso separated from her limbs, and only a bloody section remained where her head was.Xue Ye picked up the arm near the torso, and found that the five fingers of the right hand had been cut off at the same time.Shining a flashlight on the corners of the floor and ceiling, she found Bonita's left arm, left leg and right leg.Under the stone case where the "Chun Weng" was originally placed, the head of the female shopkeeper was found, and the expression before her death was no longer that of a human face.

Xue Ye let out a sigh of relief.I'm afraid I can't find my finger, it's exactly the same as what was sung in that song.

The blood-stained "Chun Weng" lay scattered, under the gaze of "Ning", the air covered by the blade was thicker than when he first saw it, and there were no tentacles-like extensions around him asking for air, and the breath was stable and steady, just Like taking a nap after drinking and eating.

There is a thought on this knife - Xue Ye is sure of it.

Based on all the current judgments, it is "Spring Man" who made Johnny and Bonita fall into the devil step by step.It has invaded their consciousness, using their hands to continuously absorb people's energy.The girls in the lyrics are probably all ghosts under the sword.

It is not uncommon to have "gas" on objects.The creator's painstaking efforts—qi—will be more or less attached to the work.As time goes by, the qi gradually dissipates, and many of the works that still have qi after hundreds of years are master-level works.

However, the qi on this knife can actually control the holder, which is not only qi, but has risen to the level of "nian".

She bent down, gathered Bonita's body together, took off the earrings and approached the corpse.As if the sink was unplugged, the air in Bonita's body flowed into the amethyst continuously, and at the same time, the body stiffened and shriveled at a visible speed, turning into a skinny mummy.

If you want to manipulate a thought, you must infiltrate and dominate it with a stronger thought than it!

Xue Ye stood up, put on the earrings, put the flashlight on the stone table, and walked to "Chun Weng" to stand between the two blades.Taking a deep breath and exhaling all distracting thoughts out of her body, she murmured:

"Now this level of reserves is not [-]% sure..."

She grabbed Chun Weng.The two streams of qi climbed from the palm along the arm to the shoulder at the same time, and moved around in the body.Xue Ye's palms were sweating, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her bitten lip.Suddenly, she opened her eyes, tried her best to breathe steadily, and controlled the flow of thoughts in her body.Driven by the full force of the flow of thoughts, the chaotic thoughts flowed to the right earlobe with the current.

Everything is quiet.

Like passing the finish line in a [-]-meter race, the flow of thoughts did not stop in time.Xue Ye collapsed for a while, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, panting heavily.With the back of his hand resting on his forehead, a layer of sweat broke out all over his body, as if he had been fished out of the water.

"I'm so stupid... If I thought about it earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer this." She shook her head.

When you stare at it again, "Chun Weng" has no breath on the surface, no different from an ordinary knife.

I searched the whole store, but couldn't find a suitable scabbard. I don't know if the owner didn't intend to sell it, or "Chun Weng" thought he was a family member.Xue Ye found a long and large box, big enough to accommodate the three-section gun folded in a line, but it was inconvenient to move around while holding it, and it was eye-catching.

Suddenly, she remembered a man with a similar weapon.Xue Ye loosened the belt at the waist, and tied the three-section gun folded into a triangle into the waistband on the back, leaving a corner on the upper right for easy grasping.I tried grabbing a few times on the spot, but I still feel that I am not used to it. After all, it is not an ordinary double knife.

Xue Ye closed her eyes, thought for a while in front of the dimly lit counter, and finally opened the door and left.

Nobunaga put his hands in his sleeves and wandered around the hall holding his love knife.Counting from Xue Ye's departure from the brigade's temporary base, today is already the tenth day, and it stands to reason that he should have returned earlier.Feitan said that the owner of the Violet Knife Shop, Johnny, died a few years ago, but when he passed by a while ago, the shop was still open, and he chatted with the hostess for a while.Bonita looked older, but she didn't say a word about her husband's death, and went about her business as usual.However, that shop no longer had any knives that he could look up to, could it be...

"Nobunaga, what are you doing here?" Maggie's cold voice came from behind.

Nobunaga turned around, opened his eyes wide, and shouted stammeringly: "Tuan, group leader..."

Kuroro was originally standing behind Maggie, but now he walked towards Nobunaga.Nobunaga pursed his mouth tightly, swallowed quietly, and stared at the head who was pressing on every step of the way.

"Nobunaga, what are you hiding from me?"

Nobunaga, who passed by the head of the group, was like a child who wanted to hide something bad but was seen through by his parents. His eyes followed the back of the head away from him, and he said in a daze, "Boss, do you know all about it?"

"I generally know." Kuroro smiled gently, which relieved Nobunaga's hanging heart to some extent.

"You guys have such a heated discussion, it's hard not to know." Maggie glanced at Finks, who shrugged indifferently.

"It's really boring, it's just a gamble." Finks said expressionlessly.

"Oh?" Kurolo seemed to be interested, "What about the result of the bet?"

There was no sound.The team members looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.

Kuroro smiled knowingly: "It seems that this time is a victory for the few. She will definitely come back on a snowy night."

"No, Commander," Franklin explained calmly, "our bet is not whether she can come back."

"Of course, being able to come back means she has won." Fei Tan narrowed his eyes.

"We are betting on who will win between her and Joshua." Finks said bluntly.

Kuroro blinked, looking at the regiment members in front of him, and at the same time glanced around the corner of the base.There is one less person.

After two seconds, he said quietly: "She is neither a member of the regiment nor my private property. You can rest assured."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Finks stretched out his hand to the leader, and said in a low-pitched tone: "Come and place your bet, leader, without you this game can't start."

"?"

"Everyone voted for number four," Feitan said.

When she stepped out of the store, Xue Ye narrowed her eyes, and a subtle feeling enveloped her whole body.Breathing is smooth, but the Qi in the whole body cannot be released from the fine pores, as if being forced into a "jue", and even "condensation" cannot be used.Following behind, she vigilantly looked around while touching the weapon she had just obtained.

At the end of the street, a sliver of silver fluttered in the dusty wind.His tall and thin body cast a shadow like a telephone pole on the uneven dirt road, extending to the tip of the snowy night.There was no smile on Joshua's face, and there was no trace of leisure on that elf-like long face. Instead, there was a shuddering murderous look, like a cold wind suddenly blowing into the neckline.

"It seems to be successful, Ms. Xue Ye. The weapon you got after all the troubles must be extraordinary. Let me open my eyes?"

The slender shadow began to move.Joshua suddenly disappeared, only the sound of his voice drifted in the wind, and the source could not be discerned.

"If you're afraid that the food will spoil, using ice is better than plastic wrap." While stalling for time, Xue Ye threw the cloak aside and held the left and right knife handles of "Chun Weng" with both hands.She lowered her center of gravity and tried to catch Joshua's trace with her eyes, but found nothing.

"Hahaha, as expected of Miss Xue Ye, this metaphor is very good. You are like a fish wrapped in plastic wrap, you can't read it, and it's only a matter of time before you become sashimi."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the left leg and left arm felt a splitting sensation almost at the same time.She looked to the left, and another gust of wind revealed long, deep gashes on her right leg and arm, bleeding profusely.Turning to the right, the left side was cut several times.Xue Ye frowned.If it was an ordinary weapon, she should be able to feel the wind pressure approaching the blade, but the few times just now, she didn't feel anything.Joshua's movement is like the breath of the wind, which conceals the source of the murderous aura, and also disrupts the wind pressure during the attack, making it blend into the natural wind, making it difficult to defend in advance.Normally, she can easily block it with "wrapping", but she, who is covered with "plastic wrap", is the first time she has vividly realized what it means to be "a man is a knife and I am a fish".

"I've never heard of sashimi wrapped in plastic wrap." Xue Ye closed her eyes.

"It's useless, even if you focus on hearing and touch, it's too late." Joshua's voice was ethereal.

The injuries on the body continued to increase.Xue Ye suddenly said, "What are you hesitating about?"

"?!"

The breath of wind, which was originally seamless, was torn apart by the owner's stupefaction.Taking advantage of this gap, Xue Ye ran wildly and turned into an alley no more than two meters wide.Joshua immediately returned to his senses, screaming in his heart that it was not good—the narrow area is the nemesis of "Wind's Breath".

He approached the alley cautiously and looked inside.The alley was empty.

At this moment, there was a whistling wind from the top.He raised his head suddenly, concentrated most of his thoughts on his arms, crossed his arms in front of his forehead, and blocked Xue Ye's volley blow.Xue Ye didn't give him a chance to breathe, and kicked him in the stomach fiercely.The momentum sent Joshua back a few meters.Due to the weak defense of the abdomen, this kick hurt him a lot.

"So it turns out that with my strength, it's really not enough to break through Nian's defense."

Xue Ye raised both arms, and the three-section gun revolved around the midpoint as a spiral of air.With a sharp kick of his right foot, he rushed straight to the silver-haired man who hadn't stood up yet.Joshua forcibly caught the spiral of "Spring Weng".Xue Ye was startled, and when she looked closely, she realized that the weapon blocking "Chun Weng" turned out to be the knife used to cut sashimi that day!

In the next instant, the two knives on the left and right caught the spinning "Chun Weng" and sent it flying.Joshua stretched out his palm, as if pushing lightly, Xue Ye slammed into the opposite stone wall.The stone wall cracked and bricks fell on top of her.Before she got up, the fish-cutting knife was already resting on her slender neck.

Joshua looked at her, and there seemed to be frost in the depths of his purple eyes: "You are from the operating system, right? I saw something similar in the leader's mind... If you are the leader's friend, why Do you want to use that ability on him?"

Xue Ye pursed her lips, looked straight into his eyes without fear, and shook her head silently.

Joshua sighed: "It was a pleasure eating with you. If we meet somewhere other than the brigade, maybe we can become good friends."

Xue Ye's black crystal-like pupils showed regret: "Yes, we didn't need to do anything at first. We are good friends."

As soon as he finished speaking, Joshua's slender body paused for a moment, as if someone had hit the back of his head with a sledgehammer.He stared blankly ahead.

"You won't reveal my secret." Xue Ye got up from the ground, picked up "Chun Weng" and folded it, patted on the kimono, picked up the fur cloak, and hid the weapon under the cloak.When everything was sorted out, Joshua had already walked over with a smile on his face, and his casual words blew through his ears like a breeze:

"Oh, there is so much blood, and even the clothes are dirty...I'm sorry, but fortunately there are bandages in the travel bag, can you help me bandage?"

On the way back, Xue Ye followed Joshua silently.The moment she stepped out of the gate of Meteor Street, she suddenly said firmly: "Your feeling is reminiscent of wind."

The silver-haired man gave her a slightly surprised look, then smiled and said, "Ah, it's just a claim, don't take it seriously."

"No, to be honest." Xue Ye lowered her eyes, slightly raised the corners of her lips, "like a warm and moist breeze."

If Joshua is the breeze, she is the Arctic wind that freezes her soul.
