soul stone

Once again, Oyagi Yukiya returned from another world.Although it was not the first time seeing him, the Crow's Eye still felt unreal.The rotten pieces of meat are intact, like a crashed computer that has been reinstalled, everything is new.But this time is a bit different, Kamijou thought, something in Yukio has been lost.As for what kind of loss it was, it was just a vague intuition, as if the glasses were covered with a layer of water mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

"You're back to normal." The Crow's Eye said in a flat, statement tone.

"Thanks to you." Xue Ye got up from the bench, "Can you come with me?"

Kamijou opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but he gave up immediately, and obediently followed behind Yuki Ye, approaching the elevator room in the middle of the floor.The elevator goes up to the B3 floor, go out and turn right.The doors at equal intervals line up on the left and right sides.Night lights on the walls glowed a dim green fluorescent.The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.

"It's so quiet," Kamijou said.As soon as the words came out, she felt that they were pure nonsense.It's six o'clock in the morning, and most people are still asleep.It is her usual style not to say superfluous words.This sentence that blurted out may be a subconscious reaction of being unable to bear this kind of silence.

"Don't worry," Xue Ye said as if she had read her mind, but she didn't look back.She stopped at the last door at the end and turned the handle.The door was unlocked, and Xue Ye stepped in.

"B3-014"——The Crow's Eye secretly wrote down the house number.It's almost like deliberately remembering the place where you died.She took a deep breath, filled her lungs with moist air, and let it out slowly.It's no big deal, she told herself.Being alone with Xue Ye always made her nervous and her palms were sweaty.

The room is larger than expected, with a single bed, a folding chair, a desk and a simple wardrobe.Xue Ye turned on the lamp on the table and sat by the bed.The orange light shone on the empty tabletop, highlighting the lack of life here.

"Please close the door."

Kamijou obeyed obediently.There was no reason to disobey.If she was really going to be killed, it didn't make much difference whether the door was open or closed.

"I don't really remember what happened at that time." Xue Ye straightened her upper body, folded her hands on her knees, and sat upright like a queen.

"That's when..." Kamijou repeated, calmly, "you yelled 'now, kill me' to the person on the phone."

"The other end of the phone...is Villar."

"Yeah. It can also be called Kurolo Roussillo, the current leader of the world's A-level wanted criminal group - the Phantom Brigade."

"I know all of this." Xue Ye closed her eyes, "Breaking the oath, going berserk with psychic abilities, falling into a coma, and almost implicating you. I really don't know... how to apologize."

"Although it was thrilling, we are all temporarily safe now. So there is no need to apologize."

"But, it must have brought you a lot of trouble. When I was unconscious..."

"This is my job."

During the conversation, Kamijou stood upright by the door, his tone was as cold as his glasses.The narrow escape from the previous experience can be summed up in one sentence.In front of Xue Ye, she must still be that calm and determined "Crow's Eye".Must concentrate.She fixed her gaze on a corner of the bare desk.

"You wear a suit of hard armor."

"Hey?"

Turning his gaze back to Yukiyue, Kamijou noticed that she had lifted the quilt and slipped in.

"Before I fell into a coma, there was something that kept me concerned...it might have something to do with you."

Kamijou frowned. "Is it about me?"

"Villar said that the tenth old man hired a killer to deal with him. In return, he also hired the same killer... The target is the tenth old man." Xue Ye pulled the quilt up to her neck and curled up into a bow shape.

"Ten old man..." Crow's Eye widened his eyes, his face contorted even more.

"This time, thank you very much." Xue Ye tucked her head into the quilt, "Good night."

It's just morning.This thought only flashed in Kamijou's mind for a split second, before it was overwhelmed by more important information.

Like an electric current passing through his body, an ominous shudder hit his head and face.She turned her head and ran out of the room, rushed into the elevator, and at the same time hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called up the directory.The sweat in the palms made the black phone case wet.dial.No signal, a dial will fail.

It seemed to take an infinite amount of time for the elevator to reach the ground floor.The night lights were still on in the lobby, and the steel doors were closed.Can't get out.

Kamijou spotted a card reader-like device by the door.She is visiting temporarily, and of course there will be no access card or anything like that.But, staying here, I can't talk on the phone...

"No one in the institute uses a mobile phone, sister Crow's Eye."

Just when she was at a loss, the familiar young voice came from behind her.Bouchard slid up to her like a gray cat, sucking ketchup and making a sizzling sound.Busha raised his hand, and a thin red light flashed across the air.There was a beep, followed by the sound of heavy gears turning.The heavy door slowly opened a crack, and the dawn-like white light shot through it.Soon the white light expanded, and the whole outside world was exposed to the eyes.

"Thank you, thank you!"

After hastily thanking him, Kamijou melted into the white light as if being swallowed up.

Crow stepped out before his eyes, but Buxia stepped into the elevator behind him.The target is on the third basement floor, the room where Yukiya Oyagi lived temporarily.He knocked on the door.

"The sun is drying your ass, sister Xue Ye, wake up~"

No one should.

"The experiments to be done are piled up like a mountain, today will be very busy, hurry up~"

No reply.

"If you don't get up again, you will die." As he said, he swiped in with his key card.As a senior researcher, Buscha's key card has the highest authority to open all doors.

The room was dark.With the light coming from outside the door, one can distinguish the small lump rising on the bed.Bu Xia approached lightly, and lifted the quilt with ease.Xue Ye was wearing the subject's loose blue and white striped uniform, her eyes were closed tightly, and her chest rose and fell regularly.

"I slept so well, Nana, please get up happily."

Taking out something like a remote control from the pocket of his white coat, Bouchardan entered the room number with his thumb, and then pressed the round red button at the bottom of the remote control.The single bed was raised about ten centimeters with a bang, and the bed surface was turned ninety degrees to be parallel to the wall.Under the bed, a huge black pit suddenly appeared, which was bottomless.

"Now it's time to ask questions: In order to eliminate the laziness of the sample, what is the most effective way?" Bouchard tore open the small bag of tomato sauce, sucked it, and squinted to see the bulge on the bed fall into the black hole.

"The answer is... just kill the lazy samples. Right?"

The sucking stopped, the gray-haired boy's body stiffened, and he couldn't even look back.The invisible thought oppressed him, and the biting chill ran from his back to the top of his head.helpless.

"Although you saved me, that doesn't mean you have the right to decide my life or death."

A slender figure stepped out of the darkness in the corner of the room.The subject's uniform was too bulky, making Xue Ye seem to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.She went around the desk, turned on the lamp, and then stood in front of Bucha, looking straight into his lifeless gray eyes, all the way into the depths of the pupils.

"Tell me, what happened on this island?"

The threatening thoughts disappeared.When Bu Xia came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a salty taste in his mouth.It was the cold sweat that she shed just now.Holding the remaining half of the ketchup in his hand, the boy's expression suddenly became cruel.

"Experiments. Countless experiments. Great experiments! Thanks to the experiments, I can evolve into 'the world's number one genius doctor'..."

"Where's Sister Moelle? I want to see her."

"Well, I was planning to do this." Bucha scratched his head and said coquettishly, "But why interrupt me."

At this moment, a siren buzzed overhead.A clear and mechanical female voice repeatedly broadcast: "The research institute is under attack, please go to the main entrance on the first floor quickly for security personnel."

"The world's number one genius doctor, who also works part-time as a security guard occasionally." Bu Xia looked at the constantly flashing red alarm light, and smiled, "Sister Xue Ye, come along too?"

Security guards in guard uniforms lined up on both sides of the gate, waiting in full force.One of them stood in the center, a burly man who looked like a captain, and stood at attention when he saw the two of them.

"Doctor Busha, we are waiting for your instructions. As long as you give the order to open the gate, we will turn the intruders into a hornet's nest." He gave a thumbs up confidently.

"Hush! Don't talk." Bucha waved his hands, leaning his ear against the door, holding his breath, "Stop, attack. Well, the door can be opened."

"So, are you going to capture the opponent alive?" the captain asked.

"Of course it's a hornet's nest."

Another packet of ketchup was torn open and smoked.Bouchard walked to the card reader by the door.

drip.

The heavy metal door seemed to have just woken up, and suddenly there was a thin crack in the middle.Immediately afterwards, the slit widened, and countless bullets shot towards it.

The strong smell of gunpowder permeates everywhere.After a full 60 seconds, the gunfire subsided one after another.Pushing away the smoke, the corner of the ketchup held by the gray-haired boy subtly tilted upwards.

"Puff--missed."

In front of the elevator, Xue Ye's hand was held by a squatting person.The man stood up and patted the dust off his body.

"Sister Crow's Eye, do you want to be sent to the incinerator too?" Bu Xia said with a smile.

"There's something urgent," Kamijou gasped, "I don't have a key card, and I don't have a phone."

"She told me everything." Xue Ye said, "It's really something. Let's forget it this time, huh?"

"Okay, but only once. Next time, even if it's Sister Xue Ye, I'll call you right. Okay, okay, everyone has worked hard, go back and rest~"

Shrugging his shoulders, Bu Xia sent the security team away and walked towards the two of them.

"I will help you," Yukio squeezed Kamijou's hand, "Before then, I hope you will fulfill your promise... Now go see Sister Moelle."

"That's right, that's the business!" Bucha's eyes lit up, "I'll take you there!"

The elevator descends slowly.Yukino was still holding Kamijou's hand.The Crow's Eye felt a little awkward, but couldn't find a reason to break free.

"To you, he is like the sun." Xue Ye said suddenly.

"Ah... yes, you can say that."

"Your mood, I can understand."

Saying that, Xue Ye let go of her hand.With a ding, the elevator reached the fifth floor underground.

Bouchard rushed ahead of the two, and trotted to the door of Sister Moelley's room.He raises his arms.

Kamijou thought he was about to knock on the door, but he just swiped his card and pushed the door open.

"Hey you……"

Crow's Eye ran to the door, his words stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

Bouchard turned on the overhead light.Under the bright white light, the interior can be seen at a glance.The room was almost exactly the same as the one in Xue Ye.White single bed, a desk, folding chair, air vents.The chair was moved to the center of the room, facing the door, and a person sat on it.

"I'm really sorry, Sister Moelle, for interrupting your rest..." The Crow's Eye suddenly felt something was wrong in the middle of being polite.

Sister Moelle sat with a blank expression, her eye sockets and cheeks were deeply sunken, and her lost eyes stared blankly at a point in the void.

"... Sister Moelle?"

Kamijou stepped forward cautiously, and waved his palm in front of the nun's eyes.

no response.Like a wax figure.

"So that's how it happened... what happened on this island." Xue Ye frowned slightly, looking at the boy who was smoking ketchup in the corner.

"Just a little experiment."

"...Your 'Qi' has changed, Bucha."

"As expected of sister Xue Ye, she has really keen senses." Buxia raised his index finger to his mouth, "The former Buxia was too timid to do anything."

"You... treat yourself as an experiment?!" Kamijou shouted.

"Thanks to the spiritual evolution experiment, I became the brave boy I am now."

Kamijou covered his mouth.A strong sour taste welled up in my throat.want to throw up.

"So, Sister Mo Aili was also taken by you..." Xue Ye calmly analyzed.

"Wrong. She is just like a vegetative person. Well... From the perspective of a cripple, there are indeed similarities. However," Bucha said enthusiastically, "Infected with the special virus of the world's first genius doctor, she can still That Obasan is the first one alive to this day."
