Volume 1 - Ouroboros and Black Iris Chapter 25: Familiar yet Unfamiliar
"Hey! Boy Lu! Are you okay?"
After Wang Qilin punched her, she hurriedly rushed to Lu Jia's side. After all, the way she looked just now was not something a person would show off if nothing happened.
Lu Jia was lying on the ground at this moment, with one eye tightly closed. The red blood, like Wang Qilin's armor, dripped to the ground due to gravity.
"No...it's okay..."
Lu Jia's voice did not sound relaxed.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have done that move directly. It was mainly because I hit the head. Fighting for my life in a friendly match really undermines the rules and morality..."
Wang Qilin quickly explained that he was indeed on top, because there were very few opportunities to get a good beating. Most people who beat him would either be defeated after a few hits, or it would involve the use of other magic, which was not pleasant at all.
"It's okay, I was just careless..."
As Lu Jia spoke, he stood upright on the ground. Seeing this, Wang Qilin immediately supported him and put her arms on her shoulders. The two communicated, completely ignoring the excited audience around them.
"Everyone is leaving, everyone is leaving!"
"What's the matter with this blood? I think my move shouldn't be that strong."
Wang Qilin greeted the people around her and asked in a calming tone, then helped him stand up.
"I...it's just that I'm not strong enough, it's just a side effect of magic."
Lu Jia explained calmly that in fact, he was not seriously injured at this moment, but that he was bleeding due to lack of oxygen and the load on his eyes. He would be fine after resting for a while. But at this moment, Wang Qilin was supporting him as if he was a human being.
Like a dying person, he was too embarrassed to speak.
"profound......"
Wang Qilin recalled the murderous intention just now, and could not feel the false charm at all. Now she thought about it and was still a little panicked. Of course, the murderous intention was not that Lu Jia really had murderous intention towards him, but his magic: heart
On the one hand. This is a magic that is highly practical but extremely demanding. So far, Lu Jia still cannot use this magic flexibly. Once he is a little careless, the enemy will not be able to control it just like he did just now.
, he fell down first.
Side of the Heart, as a magic that Lu Jia specializes in - a move in the Myth Trigger series, can store ordinary killing intent, or convert magic power into killing intent, and release it when needed.
The person who becomes the object of this magic will stop all functions of the body in an instant, including breathing and even heart beating. Of course, this trick cannot cause actual harm to the person, nor can it cause a person to die from lack of oxygen. Its effect is,
It means being able to stop the time the other party is in and control the other party. But although everything is stopped, the other party is still conscious, which means that he may see with his own eyes the scene of himself being chopped off alive.
But the limitations of this move are also very obvious, that is, it has extremely high requirements for the user. If the user is not skilled, he may be counterattacked by this murderous intention. Just like what happened just now, he can't breathe, and his eyes are overloaded.
Seeping blood, etc., are all extremely terrifying side effects. Therefore, Lu Jia rarely uses this trick and lacks practical practice.
Lu Jia was supported by Wang Qilin and walked out of the training ground. Although it was not a sudden end, it can be seen from the fact that the two did not mention the outcome of this game at all that they did not care about winning or losing at all.
But the audience didn't care about that. Even after the two of them slowly walked out of the training ground, the excited cheers among the audience still didn't stop.
"What an unexpected result."
The black-haired girl with twin ponytails in the audience said this, obviously speaking to the chestnut-haired man, but unfortunately, he was not here at the moment and could not see this unexpected scene. After witnessing the result, the girl
He glanced with interest at the direction Wang Qilin and Lu Jia left.
"If this doesn't have any reference significance, it doesn't make sense."
The girl said words of unknown meaning, then turned around and left from the route that the chestnut-haired man had taken before. Behind her, there was still the bustling audience. The training match between Lu Jia and Wang Qilin came to an end, with Wang Qilin's victory.
(So rumored) In the end, he also maintained his image as the big brother of the armed forces. The whole battle did not last long, but even if it was just a game between the two to perfunctory the surrounding audience, it was still irreplaceable.
The impact is that the rumor that "Wang Qilin is the chief of the Armed Forces" will spread further and further. As the loser (rumor), Lu Jia should not be as expected as before.
...
Wufeng Town
Dusk filled the woods, but it was still impossible to get close to this peaceful town. In a house near the edge on the east side of the town, there was a skinny girl. She stuffed the firewood into the hole, threw in the ignition, and took the
Fans fanned the fire while looking up at the situation in the pot. Thick smoke rose and came out of the house. Like a signal, smoke curled up from many households.
Seeing that the fire was almost stable, the girl stood up and walked out of the house. With her face stained with dust, she sat on the doorstep, hugging her legs and looking at the passers-by who occasionally passed by. The girl's name was Xiaoqian, and her parents had
After her death, she lived a wandering life. Precocious, she was hostile to everything in the world. Although she was young, she was very scheming.
However, since being brought to this town, at least he has restrained his hostility a lot. After all, the people in this town don't have any malicious intentions.
"Sui Sui, why don't you teleport home directly? You still have to walk back at the edge of the woods."
"Ask Xingxingtang, she suggested it."
"What, you're already home, are you still afraid of the little fox?~"
"I told you, I'm not afraid!"
"No matter how I look at it..."
Ah Fei and the others walked past Xiao Qian's door, because her house was at the entrance of the town and could see all the people coming in and out. The girl stared "viciously" at the three people passing by. To be precise, the three people
Ah Fei in the middle. In fact, she didn't have any hostility at this time, but the girl's eyes were a bit fierce.
"Ah, it's Xiao Qian! We're back. Have you seen Ah Chi come back?"
Ah Fei noticed the girl at the door and immediately ran over to greet her. His eyes were full of happiness at meeting his friend. Wen Sui looked at Xiao Qian and said with a gentle smile:
"Good evening, Xiaoqian."
Xingxingtang, who acted differently from Wen Sui Afei, stood still and just glanced at Xiaoqian. The girl also looked at her, and they looked at each other before looking away. For some reason, Xingtang was interested in this girl.
Some don't catch a cold.
"Afei, are you back so soon? Master...Sister Yu Feichi probably hasn't come back yet."
Xiao Qian said with some surprise. When she faced A Fei, her eyes softened a lot. Perhaps she knew that the little fox was the simplest of all.
"That's good, that's good."
The little fox immediately felt at ease and relaxed his chest.
"Hurry up, little fox, or Achi will come back."
Xingtang, who was standing beside her, urged her with her back on her back. She had already taken a few steps.
"Hey~hey~! Wait for me, Star Candy!"
As soon as he heard the reminder that Ah Chi was coming back, the little fox immediately ended the conversation, said goodbye and went to chase the star candy.
"Goodbye then~ Xiaoqian, I'll come and play with you tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Xiaoqian."
Wen Sui said goodbye equally gently, waved his hand, turned around and slowly followed the two people in front of him.
"Hurry up, Suisui, don't get caught by Ah Chi."
The little fox stood in front, waving his hands and shouting, obviously waiting for Wen Sui to come over. Xingtang naturally stopped, and the three of them naturally stood together and walked towards home again.
Xiao Qian, who was looking at her the whole time, felt a little lonely in her heart. Having been forced to do some theft and robbery to make a living, she thought that she had already seen through human nature.
Human hearts are not like streets, and hostility is not dust that can be washed away after a heavy rain.
But after staying here for so long, she suddenly felt that she was still very naive. Especially when the girl looked at Ah Fei, her pure and innocent eyes, and her sincere tone, all made Xiao Qian's alert layer go away.
Remove the layer.
The girl looked at the sky. The smoke from the kitchen had gradually dissipated. She looked along the path towards the mountainside. In the lonely forest, there was a ray of light. Xiaoqian withdrew her gaze and stood up, walking back to the house. Asked about the scent, now she
All I want to do is eat.
...
By the time Ling Yun and Yu Fei returned to the town, it was already almost nine o'clock, and it was almost dark. There were no bright neon lights like those in the city at night. Apart from the moonlight, there were only street lights with varying brightness and warm indoor lights.
"Is this Windless Town?"
Ling Yun looked at the rows of old-fashioned houses in front of him and murmured in his heart. Even though it was a strange town, the oncoming rural atmosphere still made him feel a lot better. He was already used to being alone.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, everyone feels at home. Looking around, the green hills are rolling, just like the walls of this small town.
The residents have all enjoyed dinner and started taking their usual walk. There is no nightlife here, and the chatting and strolling after dinner is the last excitement before going to bed. People in small and small groups talk loudly about what happened today and what they will do tomorrow.
No matter what. Even if you don't know someone very well, you will say hello when you pass by.
Several children were playing leisurely on the small stone bridge, and from time to time they threw a few stones into the trickling river below. The adults behind them were laughing and chatting, looking after the children with their peripheral vision. Everyone was talking about their own things, and the people passing by were also talking.
