soul stone

The gray alleyway was dirty and depressed, and there were still traces of the last fight.After a tall black figure confirmed the surrounding movement in the dark, it appeared hundreds of meters away in the next second, like an edited and incoherent movie shot.No one noticed her, except for the slightly creaking violet signboard and the wooden door, which indicated that someone had just entered here.

This is Kamijou's second visit to Meteor Street.The first time was when she just graduated at the age of 12. As the top three outstanding graduates of St. Thirteen Abbey, she and the other two of the top three were responsible for escorting children who made big mistakes.Even though she had experienced the cruel training in the dark monastery, she was still greatly touched when she witnessed the way of life of the people in Meteor Street.That primitive, instinct-driven way of living is more explicit and complicated than the life at the Holy Thirteen Monastery.She had witnessed the tragedy of her companion being bullied by the group and beaten to death, but she didn't know that it had become a part of daily life in Meteor Street.In the monastery, brutal fights between children are mostly part of the training program, and death in failure means being eliminated by the gang system.Here, the loss of life may be just because of a piece of moldy bread or a bottle of expired milk. The trip to Meteor Street at the age of 12 was a turning point in Kamijou's life.For the first time, she realized that she was not the worst.How happy it is not to equate life with the next day's ration.

After the first shock, she thought of her two children of the same age who graduated from the monastery at the age of eight, Villar Lynch and Oyagi Yukiyo.

Even on a genius level, those two kids were exceptional.However, the most incredible thing is not their high IQ, but their charisma and charisma, which far exceed the most optimistic expectations for a child.Kamijou still remembers a joke that was circulated among the children at that time: "The king and the queen come together, adults and children give way." The monastery even set a precedent for them, allowing them to graduate four years early and become a member of the gang elite.

Although he didn't say it on the surface, Kamijou never took it seriously when he said it to the so-called king and queen.The king of the monastery probably died on Meteor Street long ago.

When she visited the Oyagi Mansion in 1989, a basin of cold water was poured on her head--

The eight-year-old king was alive and well, and became the new king.

At that time, she accepted Sister Moelle's entrustment to go to the original home of Oyagi Yukiyo to try to find out something.The gangsters have long regarded Xue Ye as a dead person, and even forgot about her existence, but Sister Mo Aili is convinced that she is still alive, and she must be waiting for an opportunity somewhere to take revenge on the gangsters.However, eight years have passed, and there has been no news from Xue Ye.Even Sister Moelle finally made a move, hoping to get clues from that investigation that could attract Xue Ye to appear.

Unexpectedly, Xue Ye didn't find out, but met a passerby who was so strong.

At first, Kamijou thought he was just an ordinary bounty hunter and tried to persuade him to give up the search.When she heard him say that his friend lived there, she immediately guessed who the person in front of her was.Even when he chopped her unconscious without showing any murderous intent, she was still immersed in shock.

It's really inhuman to be able to live like this in that kind of place-this kind of thought still lingers in her mind and can't get rid of it.

Villar stepped into the Oyagi mansion with her front foot, and she woke up with her back foot.She was perfect as the ordinary tourist, and Villar must have thought the knife had killed her.She slipped away when she woke up, she didn't want to confront the former king.What's more, with such important news, Sister Moelle would be very happy.

Time flies, and it is 1995 in a blink of an eye.Sister Moelle knew everything well, and the queen, who had once been hidden in a corner of the world, seemed to wake up from a long hibernation and started her activities again.The person who commissioned her to collect whale skulls was probably one of the king's trusted subjects.Judging from the information in his conversation and the activity records obtained by her hacking into his computer, it is very likely that Yagi Yukiyo has already met with Villar Lynch.Will visit this knife shop that died on Meteor Street, which indicates that she will have further actions.If she really wanted to seek revenge on the gangsters, Sister Moelle would also be implicated.Although she regards them as her proudest children, Kamijou will not forget the fact that after the death of her brother, her sister lost her speech for a year.Xue Ye, who loves her younger brother like that, will never let go of the monastery system that indirectly caused the tragedy. She will definitely direct the flames of revenge to Sister Moelle, who was once the abbot of the monastery.

Gathering his thoughts, Kamijou adjusted his black-rimmed glasses with his back to the store door, and slowly opened his eyes.Eyes have adapted to the dark.She took out a detector the size of sushi from her windbreaker pocket. After confirming that there were no cameras or bugs installed in the room, she pressed the black button at the junction of the frame and the frame, and the lens of her right eye was switched to infrared mode.

Like sailing a boat in a storm, she carefully checked every corner of the room, then went down the stairs to the basement, and walked to the end along the long, narrow and deep corridor.The candles on the wall had long since burned out, save for a speck of wax stuck to the metal candlestick.There was silence, and the footsteps sounded frighteningly loud.

Pushing open the unlocked iron door, the corpse lying on the ground came into sight.Kamijou went closer to check, but there was no response from the infrared light, indicating that he was dead.She squatted aside and watched carefully, her squinted eyes suddenly widened.The arms and legs of the corpse were cut off, and the reason why it returned to human form was that someone deliberately assembled it afterwards.Moreover, about a month after receiving the information, the body did not decompose, but showed the same condition as a mummy.No wonder there was no bad smell when I walked over.She also deliberately put on a mask.

Kamijou put on disposable gloves and tapped the surface of the mummy.After a dull thud, the mummy instantly turned into powder.Kamijou was taken aback.She remembered the TV show she had seen. A delicate rose was put into a tank of liquid nitrogen that was steaming white, and when it was taken out, it shattered into powder when it was knocked out.The situation was strikingly similar to now.

From the whole body to the broken limbs, to the parts that turned into powder, and even the nails and hair, she took photos one by one.After collecting the information, she was thinking about how to bring the body back, when she heard a slight creaking sound from the ground, and the alarm bells rang in her mind——

someone is coming!

"Hey, is there anyone? I said, does this shop still want to do business?"

The moment the guests entering the door paused temporarily due to the darkness, Kamijou had already passed him and slipped out through the main entrance.

The people who came seemed to be just ordinary customers.But if there is a direct conflict, she is definitely not the opponent.

Hiding in the shadow of the alley hundreds of meters away, Kamijou panted slightly.Although she has excellent dark vision and superb escape ability, she is still a weakling with almost zero force.She leaned her head against the wall, reached into her bosom with her right hand, and pulled out a nondescript black pistol.

Around her, there are dozens of people ready to move.

Holding her breath, she backhandedly fired a shot into the window behind her.At the same time as the sound of wailing and the sound of people falling down suddenly came, there were multiple figures emerging from the left and right alleys.He narrowly dodged the attack, then raised his head and shot down a child who was trying to sneak attack in the air.Suddenly she opened her eyes wide, and there was a sharp pain in her chest. Something hot rushed into her throat, and she spat it out wow.In the next second, she saw the sharp blade piercing through the wall behind her and protruding from her chest.

At this moment, she finally realized that the anti-siege and escape skills she had cultivated in the monastery were of no use here.

Because, this is Meteor Street.

"Meteor Street is really not a place for people to walk, huh?"

While the hoarse and deep voice rang in his ears, Kamijou was pressed down on his shoulder by a strong palm.

"Get down!"

She gritted her teeth and covered the bleeding wound, lowering her face almost to the ground.Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise that almost burst the eardrum, and the air was suddenly filled with dust.

"Woo... cough cough! Qiao, Qiao Huan... why are you crazy?"

While coughing, Kamijou put on the mask he had prepared to prevent the smell of corpses, and looked up angrily.Against the sunlight, a mouthful of neat white teeth occupied the view.Wearing large exaggerated sunglasses, the thick-browed young man with a cropped cut raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and a modified short-range portable bazooka was mounted on his thick broad shoulders.After the incident just now, the original site of Violet Knife Shop was only a scorched ruin.

"You little bastards, let your horses come here!" He aimed the black cannon barrel at the enemy on the right.While Kamijou secretly scolded Qiao Huan for his thoughtlessness, he reluctantly pulled out his pistol to clear the way for his attack.

"Cough, cough cough... Let me tell you, how long has it been since you changed your clothes?" Kamijou covered his nose.Even through the mask, you can still clearly smell the tobacco behind you.

"No way, I just smoked a box last night." The tobacco youth shouted at the top of his voice, almost deafening Kamijou's ears.

"Cut..." Your broken voice is caused by Yan.She still wanted to continue complaining, but her energy didn't allow it. It was important to deal with the enemy in front of her first.

The violent recoil almost knocked Kamijou to the ground.She quickly covered her ears.Another shell exploded in the back.

"It might be that guy." Qiao Huan said.

Kamijou was taking advantage of the gap to reload his pistol, and he responded casually, "That guy?"

"It's hard enough," he grinned brightly, "I like it."

"...You two are perverts."

Qiao Huan laughed and said, "It's not fun. Fighting with these guys is boring and endless. Speaking of which, you should take off your glasses, right?"

Kamijou pushed away the dust and smoke, and found that there were more enemies coming from the periphery.She stomped her feet, grabbed Qiao Huan's arm fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "This time you owe me a lot!"

"Ah? I came here to save you."

"I don't, I just hate taking off my glasses. If I wanted to slip, I would have slipped! Now with you, I can't wake up if I don't sleep for a day and a night due to the accumulated fatigue!"

"Don't think too much, I will take good care of you that day and night."

"You just talk."

She took off her black-rimmed glasses and put them in her pocket. Suddenly, her eyes changed. After seeing the situation clearly, tears welled up in her eyes: "Wow, it's scary! Brother Qiao Huan, stop beating, let's run!"

As soon as the words fell, the two disappeared without a trace, leaving groups of assassins and wreckage all over the ground speechless.
