Quadruple split.

Chapter 2387 The cause and effect that should have been escaped

"wrong."

The pale pupils blinked twice, and the ghost witch with long blue hair frowned slightly, raised the imperial coin and swept it in the air, driving a force that was both fierce and gentle to "peel" the origami off her body, making it rotate 180 degrees on the spot, and then said lightly after meeting the eyes of the real master: "It's her."

It was a voice that was 90% similar to Gu Xiaole's, but it gave people a "gloomy" feeling. If you listened carefully, you would even find that every word seemed to come from behind a mirror or under the water. It was a voice that made people feel "ominous" just by listening to it.

However, at this moment, Gu Xiaole had no intention of thinking about all this. In fact, the moment her servant spirit opened her mouth, this girl who always maintained a considerable degree of calm and decency was completely stunned. With her cherry lips slightly parted, her eyes wide open, and sweat on her forehead, she looked like an ordinary beautiful girl who had just witnessed a iron tree blooming and a mute speaking.

However, although it is true that Gu Xiaole is a beautiful girl, she is definitely not ordinary, especially outside the game. Even if she is mixed in with a group of equally extraordinary "abnormal people", this girl is definitely one of the more extraordinary ones. Apart from anything else, at least among the younger generation of "abnormal people" in her country of registered residence, this eldest daughter of the Gu family is definitely an extremely special and super-personal existence, quite like the protagonist team in Slam Dunk being intruded by Yao Ming.

By the way, based on the actual situation, if Chairman Yao had joined Shohoku during high school, even if main players such as Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi were relegated to the bench, he could easily lead four young players who would be defeated by Akagi Haruko with one hand to completely dominate the so-called high school national competition.

In short, Gu Xiaole is such an unattainable existence among her peers in the country of her registered residence. If her Gu family is excluded, then even if we don't require them to be "peers", she is still a top powerhouse in the industry.

It is true that Gu Xiaole suffered a great blow after returning to his motherland, but he was in City B, the capital of a country after all, so it seemed that a passing high school student could easily deal with those monsters that made Gu Xiaole have to be on high alert, but most of the time it was just because those high school students were too strong and too competitive, not because Gu Xiaole was not strong enough.

From an objective point of view, Gu Xiaole's knowledge and experience are at a level that allows her to remain calm in most situations. And when it comes to Onmyoji and psychics, the eldest daughter of the Gu family is equivalent to a know-it-all, with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience at top level.

but!

But the problem is!

Even though she was well-informed and had eaten pork and seen pigs run, she was still confused by the scene that was too beyond her scope.

"Eh? My Lord?"

Origami turned 180 degrees on the spot, blinked, and asked in a daze, "Who is this lord behind me?"

"!?"

Gu Xiaole was startled again, and immediately raised his hand to force Origami to transform into a spirit, and in the next moment he moved it behind him. Then, while looking at the 'ghost witch' in front of him in doubt, he asked Origami without turning his head, "Can't you see it?"

"Well……"

Origami, whose structure was completely different from that of normal intelligent creatures and who was too lazy to use her 'vision' to observe the world most of the time, now realized that something seemed amiss. She immediately rubbed her eyes vigorously and raised her head again, looking over Gu Xiaole's shoulder at the 'other lord' who was standing there with an expressionless face. In the next instant, she let out a sharp cry: "Ghost ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Gu Xiaole immediately elbowed Origami in annoyance and reminded him, "Aren't you also half a ghost?"

"Yes!"

Origami suddenly realized that she didn't need to be afraid of ghosts, and then she hugged Gu Xiaole's shoulders tremblingly, and looked up carefully at the ghost witch opposite her, who was completely different from her in both appearance and temperament, and exuded a weirdness everywhere: "Could it be... could it be..."

"Yes, that's the 'could it be'."

Gu Xiaole shrugged his shoulders, casually confirming Origami's guess, then took out three talismans from his sleeve and clamped them between his left fingers. In his right hand, he held the Five-bone Bat Fan [Black Hina·Zhanshi Luejue], which was more suitable for Onmyoji to fight head-on, rather than a form that could greatly enhance the combat power of the Shikigami.

There was no other way. Considering the effect of [White Zetsu·Shura Hell], Gu Xiaole, who had already prepared for the worst, decisively changed the fan into [Black Hina] and entered combat state.

However, she didn't intend to have a big fight with this Samurai Shodown with the style of "Demon Maiden", she just wanted to take precautions against any possible disaster.

Although in theory no Shikigami can disobey his master, theory is only theory after all. Gu Xiaole knows of nearly a hundred cases where Shikigami directly or indirectly killed their masters. If it happened in reality, it might be better, but the environment of [Realm of Innocence] is too special. Although she has created excellent success cases such as 'Dog Demon', 'Origami' and 'Taishō', there is no guarantee that the Samurai spirits are safe.

After all, the fact that he couldn't be deported in any form proved that he was 'out of control', and the fact that he ignored him the entire time even though they were able to communicate showed that he was 'rebellious'. The danger of an out-of-control, rebellious and powerful Samurai was naturally self-evident.

"Go ahead."

Tightening the fan in his hand, Gu Xiaole recalled the feeling he had when he first "internship" and carefully stepped into the haunted house. He took two deep breaths and then said solemnly to the spirit in front of him, who looked exactly like him, except for his slightly scary eyes, "What's going on?"

"..."

As expected, the other party turned his head away, with no intention of answering at all.

"I advise you to cooperate."

Gu Xiaole frowned slightly and said seriously, "Just because I was completely taken advantage of by you before, it doesn't mean that I can't do anything to you after I noticed that you can communicate normally."

"..."

Samurai Shodown's answer was still silence, but Gu Xiaole keenly noticed that her eyes with dark sclera and pale pupils flickered slightly.

[Yes! ]

After cheering himself up in his heart, Gu Xiaole said in a slightly gentler tone than before: "Listen, I just want to talk to you. Even if we can't understand each other for the time being, it's good to have some communication. As for those 'methods' that may be very effective but are a bit too strong, I don't want to use them on you."

“…It’s annoying.”

Finally, after a few seconds of silence, Samurai Shodown spoke two words again in her voice that could be associated with "unknown" but with the same sweet tone as Gu Xiaole, and then added three more words: "I don't like it."

Gu Xiaole realized that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined, and that the other party did not even show any obvious hostility. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Annoyed? Don't like it? What do you mean? Is there anything I can help with?"

Obviously, as an excellent Onmyoji, Gu Xiaole has always been good at making friends with his Shikigami. In fact, compared with those second-rate Onmyoji, the Gu family's attitude towards Shikigami is incredibly good. Although the form is "servitude", in actual actions they always get along with most of the Shikigami on an equal footing. The worst of them is the "transaction" form, that is - you fight for me, beat people up, and guard the house, and I will set up formations for you to gather spirits and improve your cultivation.

The most outrageous case is that of Gu Xiaole's cousin. He got married a few years ago. His bride was more than 200 years older than him and was a weasel.

That’s right, it’s the weasel commonly known as the yellow weasel, also known as Wong Tai Sin!
Similar to the rat bodyguard that Mo Tan asked someone to find for Xue Yin, the girl whose household registration name is 'Huang Youyou' is also an 'alien', corresponding to the monster among [monsters], [devils], [ghosts], and [monsters]. She has been living in the mountains since she became a spirit at the age of 40. The beginning of their fate was that when Gu Xiaole's cousin came back to his motherland to play, he had the urge to climb a mountain in the northeast.

The first and second parts are omitted, but the result is that the cousin took Miss Huang as his shikigami, and Miss Huang agreed to the cousin's proposal, but with one condition.

"Are you going to live in seclusion with her?"

A few years ago, when he was still a junior high school student, Gu Xiaole once asked this question after his father hung up the phone.

"No."

Gu Xiaole's father shook his head and said with a subtle expression: "After becoming a spirit, the yellow-skinned girl often went down the mountain to secretly watch TV, and those movies back then... were full of patriotism, so she insisted that your cousin return to the motherland's nationality and follow her household registration."

"Huh?! Does she have a household registration?"

"No, but your cousin has already asked your aunt to take care of it. It should be available in the next few days."

"So what you mean is that my cousin's new shikigami must first ask my aunt to help him get a legal identity, and then the two of them will register for marriage, and then my cousin will be re-naturalized in our motherland?"

“Hmm…” “Wow!”

The above is an excerpt from the conversation between Gu Xiaole and his father.

All in all, the Gu family's attitude towards Shikigami is actually quite gentle. Although they will not hesitate to send them to die when doing serious work, they will inevitably be coaxed after the Shikigami's spiritual base is restored. Even Gu Xiaole's father, the head of the family, knelt for half a night because he accidentally let her Aunt Xue (a Shikigami under the command of the current head of the Gu family, the Demon Emperor Jade-faced Snow Fox) die.

Well, the durian was even bought by her mother.

So after realizing that Samurai Shodown had no obvious hostility towards him, Gu Xiaole immediately became inflated, ready to appeal to the other party's emotions and reason, to give full play to his empathy and subjective initiative, to coax the other party into obedience and make him want to have sex with him!

however--

"Boring you."

Samurai Shodown glanced at Gu Xiaole and said bluntly in a somewhat awkward way: "It's you who I don't like. I hate you."

Gu Xiaole's eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me!?"

"Yeah, you."

Samurai Shodown held his own coin and nodded vigorously, saying, "I don't like it, I hate it, I'm annoyed, die."

"..."

Apart from being a bit gay, he has an incredibly good personality. Although he is not a popular person, he is also loved by everyone. Gu Xiaole was immediately embarrassed. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why? Did I offend you in any way?"

"No reason, no offense."

Samurai Shodown shook his head and repeated what he had just said: "But I don't like it, I hate it, I'm annoyed, I want you to die."

"do not!"

Gu Xiaole slapped himself on the forehead and complained, "You are my Samurai! If I die, you will be gone!"

"It's ok."

In the end, the other party shook his head very happily, cast an extremely expectant look at Gu Xiaole, and said with a particularly open mind: "It's fine if you die, I can live without you."

"I'm so sad. I really want to die..."

Gu Xiaole slumped his shoulders weakly and muttered dejectedly, but then he patted his cheeks hard and said to the Samurai whose expression became more expectant: "I won't die!"

The latter's expression immediately turned from sunny to cloudy: "Annoying."

"Please bear with it for a moment. I'll think about it carefully—"

Gu Xiaole tilted his head and lifted up a handful of his hair, mumbling vaguely: "You hate me for no reason... This kind of thing is simply too irrational. There must be something I overlooked. Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

"Forget it."

The short-haired girl, who was about the height and figure of a junior high school student but had very fair skin, said this lightly.

"I have to think about it. I can't let this child stay like this forever... Hey!?"

Gu Xiaole suddenly realized that it was not Origami who was talking, so he turned around abruptly. Then, after seeing who it was, he exclaimed, "Akira!?"

"Ah."

Ming Sakaki, who was wearing a large cloak, nodded and said in a calm tone like a robot: "I am Ming Sakaki."

"It's really you!"

Gu Xiaole looked at the mysterious girl in front of him, who had once found a bug in a public space, and asked in shock, "Why are you here?!"

"Strictly speaking, it's not me that appears in front of you. It's a fantasy interactive interface that I created temporarily after intercepting a small amount of data. Although it receives or transmits information, the basic logic is actually fictional. In other words, although you can see me, the 'Akira' in the game does not actually exist in front of you."

"not understand."

"It's okay. It's not important."

"Uh, what's the important thing?"

"Do you remember the deal you made with me?"

"It's only been a few days, you must remember it. Although Shuxiang and I were a little confused at the time, we both promised you."

"Shuxiang is dead."

"Ah, this... I know she was killed once, but she has created a new account!"

"She was eliminated by 'Bughole'."

"What do you mean?"

"That 'loophole' wants to get rid of you, too."

"Eh?"

"You agreed to the deal, so I came to help you."
