Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 399 169: Unexpected

The sudden outburst of the Purple Lightning Sword was unexpected. Heath only had time to raise his hand slightly, and the tip of the sword was almost inserted into the holy water bottle, while the sword body was about to smash the bottles and jars next to it in a very impolite manner.

thump.

The tip of the sword failed to drink the holy water as it wished, but instead hit a layer of transparent film. Even though this film seemed to have no thickness, it could not break through its limitations and destroy the bottle of holy water.

This is Augustus' main laboratory. It has experienced all kinds of strange experiments and naturally has a complete set of preventive measures for emergencies.

The sudden rise of the Purple Lightning Sword triggered the mini formation on the experimental table. A transparent barrier was inverted on the experimental table in the shape of a semicircle, covering the Purple Lightning Sword and isolating it in one direction, preventing it from breaking out.

Augustus just quietly watched the purple lightning sword hitting the wall everywhere, and looked at Heath.

“Can you feel any different emotions?”

Heath closed his eyes and felt it carefully: ".Joy, desire and.awe?"

Augustus picked up the bottle of holy water. The purple lightning sword wrapped in a thin film was like an ornamental fish kept in a tank. Even without eyes, it showed a eager emotion. The tip of the sword moved with the bottle of holy water, like a gaze.

"It can be seen that you really want this bottle of holy water. Tell me why. How can this bottle of holy water help you? As long as you tell me, I can pour the holy water on you." Augustus whispered softly, with a hint of temptation. In addition to language, he also added a ritual similar to spiritual communication, trying to establish a deeper level of communication.

The Purple Lightning Sword paused slightly and glanced at Augustus.

"Disdain." Heath looked at Zi Dian Jian and Augustus who seemed to be staring at each other, and faithfully acted as a translator.

The tip of the Purple Lightning Sword swung towards the holy water.

"Reluctantly." Heath continued.

Finally, the Purple Lightning Sword seemed to have completely lost its spirituality and fell to the ground on the experimental table with a clang.

"No." Heath added.

The Purple Lightning Sword stopped moving and lay flat, as if it had really given up its desire for holy water. It seemed that for it, praying to Augustus was a very humiliating thing.

Just like humans praying to ants.

Augustus smiled and said, "It seems that the predecessor of this weapon is not simple. If it was not dying and about to be destroyed, the Baron would not have reached an agreement with it and let it agree to become your long-term weapon."

"Those whispers you heard may not be its deliberate attempt to influence you. They are just a resonance of emotions it has achieved after absorbing your blood and spiritual energy. Its original intention should be that it disdains to have too deep a communication with us. Perhaps in its eyes, we are just a group of low-level creatures that have not fully evolved."

"But you can't let your guard down, because if it really belongs to a higher life form, even the aftermath of its soul will cause us unpredictable harm, and may even assimilate us. At the very least, it will have an irreversible impact on your character."

Heath nodded silently, his eyes showing a vigilance that never relaxed. He had always been very careful with the Purple Lightning Sword, and would not let it suck his blood for a wave of outbursts unless he had no other choice.

Normally, I don’t try to feel the emotional fluctuations of the Purple Lightning Sword, but just treat it as a kind of "mental tinnitus".

Let it noise as it pleases, but if you don't listen carefully or simply meditate into heaven, you won't be able to hear those whispers.

Augustus had a happy smile on his face, it's never too late to do research, he admitted that he had underestimated the secret of the sword before, but he was ultimately too busy to do everything, and many of his disciples were more inclined towards combat. He was one of the few who was good at researching poison, but unfortunately he couldn't see the reality clearly and wanted to set up his own school before he was fully prepared. So he could only get rid of him reluctantly, regrettably concluding his research legacy.

When the bottle of holy water was opened, a slightly uplifting breath emanated from it, as if it had directly penetrated the barriers of the flesh and reached the soul, giving it peaceful comfort, making people involuntarily feel at ease and calm.

“This purity should be the holy water that Ye Jie nurtured.”

Augustus stretched out two fingers, covered the mouth of the bottle, moistened his fingers with holy water, and then pressed them on the blade of the Purple Lightning Sword.

The other party's disdain did no harm to Augustus at all. As long as it was helpful to him, such a small emotion was not even worthy of his attention, let alone breaking his defense.

Compared to the emotions expressed by the other party, he wanted to see what miraculous effect the holy water would have on the Purple Lightning Sword.

With just a light touch, a piece of the mottled surface of the Purple Lightning Sword seemed to disappear out of thin air, but no debris fell off. The uneven surface revealed the smoothness of the blade, and some gorgeous incomplete patterns could be faintly seen on the sword body.

The purple lightning sword trembled slightly, and purple electric lights flashed all around.

Heath frowned, a little reluctantly: ". Pleasure, comfort, nostalgia."

Augustus said nothing and continued to apply the holy water gently, and soon half the bottle of holy water was used up.

The Purple Lightning Sword no longer had the old, dilapidated, and rusty appearance it had at the beginning. Although it still had some simplicity, one could tell it was not simple from the patterns of purple light flowing in it.

"The holy water that Ye Jie herself nurtures with holy light has such a strong effect. If I can get a drop of holy water from her holy water bottle." Augustus was just thinking about it. Unless it was necessary, he would not force a fight with Ye Jie to the death, as that would only result in losses for both sides.

The prerequisite is that Ye Jie does not bother the angel to come down to earth, otherwise there is no need to fight, he can just wait to be taken by the angel to see the Supreme.

Augustus stopped and put away the half-remaining bottle of holy water. This thing was a supernatural item from the enemy camp. The more he used it, the less it would be. The possibility of getting a replenishment in the future was not high, so it was better to keep some.

In particular, he discovered that this holy water could directly affect the soul, which was extremely important. Achieving eternity was the ultimate goal, but he would not forget his secondary goal of obtaining eternal life for the soul.

This is also the origin of the name Soul Assembly.

But the Purple Lightning Sword was a little reluctant. Either you are unhappy, or you are very happy. What's the point of being so neither here nor there?

The sword began to tremble, clearly expressing a feeling of dissatisfaction.

But even so, this kind of dissatisfaction is also arrogant. It is not a plea, nor is it a trace of humility. It is just an ordinary request and order.

"Although I also want to give you more, this thing is very precious to us. I have done my best to give you half a bottle." Augustus said slowly.

The Purple Lightning Sword fell silent and regained its composure.

"Can you tell me why you can merge with that arm?" Augustus seemed to be chatting casually. He neither humbled himself to satisfy the arrogance of the Purple Lightning Sword, nor gave orders in a condescending tone.

The Purple Lightning Sword remained silent.

Augustus looked at Heath, who remained silent.

"Confused. It seems to have some doubts too. Also, after you applied the holy water, its mind became much more active, as if it was thinking. Well, but I can't sense what it is thinking."

Is it too dilapidated to cause memory loss?
Augustus had a vague guess. He took other extraordinary potions and began to experiment on the Purple Lightning Sword.

But the effect was not good. Most of the potions were actually affected by the sword and turned into an acidic poison.

The properties of this poison can make wounds difficult to heal, but the clever thing is that holy water can heal them.

So why do the properties of this sword seem so strange?

The sword's desire for and ability to absorb the power of holy water suggests that this sword may be related to the Paladin or heaven, but the damage it causes is so evil.

"Do you have a name?"

Augustus thought he was just talking to himself, with the purpose of letting the Purple Lightning Sword adapt to his presence, and he didn't expect to get a reply.

But Heath, who had been standing next to them, suddenly had a stiff expression on his face, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

"No worries, no gold."

Augustus was stunned. "Unexpectedly noisy gold? Unexpectedly arrogant gold?"

What a strange name, it feels like a machine translation.

But he still fully agrees with the word arrogant.

However, the main color of this sword is clearly purple. What does it have to do with gold?

Heath shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either. I just translated its meaning into words as best as I could."

"Knowing the name is a good progress." Augustus smiled and checked the time. It was almost evening, so he interrupted the experiment and went to see how Xavier and the others were doing.

When he walked into the hall, he saw several people jumping down from the roof one after another.

Shuang Ling, covered in blood, was carrying the unconscious Queyin on his back. Jing Quan was in a slightly better condition, but his hair was also messy.

Xavier's face was pale, and he swayed a few times after falling to the ground, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Several people fought from day to evening and just came back now. Judging from their injuries, they were badly beaten and it was obvious that they were really angry.

"I can see that you guys were communicating very enthusiastically." Augustus smiled gently and threw a few bottles of potion to them.

Xavier looked at the red potion of unknown composition, and when he saw others drink it, he drank it too.

A strange, spicy, fishy and sweet taste immediately filled his entire mouth, which was even more unpalatable than the worst potion made by Fei Du that he had ever drunk before.

But the effect was very obvious. It was visible to the naked eye that his physical strength recovered rapidly and his complexion lost its paleness and became rosy.

Even Queyin, who was in a coma and had lost an unknown amount of blood, woke up quickly and lowered his head to Augustus in shame.

"This is a good thing. I hope you can call more people. After Xavier recovers better, we can kill your usual arrogance." Augustus said this with a smile, but Queyin and Shuangling both lowered their heads.

They didn't expect that Xavier, who was able to fight the three of them on equal terms, still hadn't recovered. They felt a little ashamed.

He waved his hand and asked the two to leave. Jingquan felt uncomfortable with his dirty clothes, so he didn't stay here any longer and went back to his room to wash up.

Soon, Augustus, Hiss and Xavier were the only ones left in the hall.

"If you have any questions, you wouldn't mind talking while we eat." Augustus pointed to the elevator.

Xavier nodded silently.

The three of them came to the restaurant, where there were a few staff members busy at work. The meals were arranged in the form of a buffet, and Augustus chose something at random.

"I want to know, who are you to Teacher Feidu?" Xavier asked as soon as he sat down.

"He was one of my disciples. He used to be." Augustus had no intention of telling the truth to Xavier. After all, Feidu had left him with a mess, and telling the truth was not a good strategy. "Later, he left me because he was dissatisfied with some of my actions."

With just a few words, starting from the role of teacher and student, which Xavier was very familiar with, an image of a passionate disciple with a sense of justice and a sophisticated and mature tsundere master was directly sketched out in Xavier's mind. However, Augustus in front of him looked quite young, while Feidu was actually a little old man.

"I saved you because you are useful to me and we have a common enemy." Augustus said openly.

Xavier was relieved when he heard this. What he feared most was being nice for no reason. This was also what Feidu had taught him.

"A paladin?"

"Naturally, if you've ever heard of the Soul Gathering."

Xavier shook his head. He had never heard of this organization.

"It's okay, you just need to know that we are not good people. But do you think that the Paladin, Ito Makoto, and other extraordinary people are good people?" Augustus asked the question.

Xavier shook his head firmly, but the anger in his eyes did not die down.

"My organization has never restricted the personalities of its members, so naturally, a lot of trouble has occurred, but we will not deny it. But people like the Paladins are using more obscure means to manipulate and play with ordinary people. If they continue like this, not only will we have no place to stand, but even ordinary people will completely become lambs in their captivity."

Augustus slowly built more lies on the basis of the non-poisonous lie. He had already anticipated Xavier's questions and used his answers to lead the other party into the trap he had set.

Soon, in order to avenge Fei Du and expose the true face of the Paladin, Xavier lowered his bottom line. Knowing that the Soul Assembly had done a lot of bad things, he still formed a temporary cooperative alliance.

"Don't worry. I have arranged people in Rio. The Paladins just held a large mass to announce their success not long ago, so there won't be any movement in the short term. Otherwise, it would be a slap in their face. Your country is safe, although it is only temporary."

After hearing Augustus' words, Xavier's anxiety was relieved a lot.

"During this period of time, you can train more here, master your own power as soon as possible, and explore your potential. My disciples are also willing to fight with you to gain experience, otherwise you won't even have the chance to face Ye Jie again." Augustus pointed to Heath beside him, "He is Heath, one of the leaders of the Soul Assembly. I hope that you can cooperate with each other when I'm not around."

Xavier nodded to Heath: "I will."
