Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 24: The Spirit Contractor of the Old Times and the Common Sense of the New Times

In terms of time, Lin Xuan knew that he did not have much time now.

A strange city whose sky is about to fall, an alliance whose attitude is unclear after a hundred years, and where those girls are now.
And most importantly, how can he obtain the power to take the most basic initiative?

But even so.

Lin Xuan still patiently combed Xing Jian Jingli's hair, his fingers touching every inch of the soft crystal blue on the girl's tail, as if brushing away the dust that had accumulated over a long time.

It was like clearing away the fallen leaves that had accumulated on the steps for hundreds of years.

Only after climbing up a thousand steps and finally reaching the top of the mountain, pilgrims can see the bright and clean shrine.

This way.

No matter how gloomy your mood is, it feels like you have stepped into a bright sunny day.

"All right."

Lin Xuan put down the comb, took a long breath and said, "I have temporarily redirected the messy ether on the surface back to the correct direction."

"But you haven't cleared your own circuits once in the past hundred years. This is still too much."

The boy spoke helplessly.

Like a doctor who is concerned about whether a girl takes her medicine on time.

He waved his hand: "I know you are too lazy to organize it, and you probably don't want those professionals to help you with these trivial matters."

"So, after you go back - if you don't mind, it's best to come to my place regularly every three months or so."

"I will help you sort out the circuit myself, understand?"

As a selling point in the card pool, the beautiful girls who are already pretty and charming will look even more miserable than before if they are drawn by him.

That would be a big mistake for him as a gamer.

of course.

It’s not a question of whether the tail is nice to touch or whether you want to bury your face in it.

But it involves the issue of the host’s dignity!

But for some reason, when Lin Xuan said, "You can come over more often in the future," Xing Jian Jingli's eyes seemed to flash a hint of displeasure.

The fox ears trembled.

But this emotion was so fleeting that no one could catch it.

"Okay, I see."

Xing Jian Jingli said lightly.

She pulled back her tail, swayed it naturally at the hem of her shrine maiden's costume, and retracted it to her side, not letting her tail stay in the other's hand for even a moment.

With the other hand, he casually swept the air.

"This is the map you asked for."

As the bright light condensed on the mirror surface, it seemed as if the scenery between heaven and earth was depicted in detail like a picture book.

The view quickly shrank.

It turned into an object and appeared in the girl's slender and delicate jade hand.

"Take it."

Xing Jian Jingli said in a calm voice, and casually threw the palm-sized mirror towards the black-haired boy as if giving a reward to a masseur.

"Hey, you guy, this is a strategic material, be careful!"

Lin Xuan didn't even care about keeping his legs crossed as his legs were numb from combing someone's hair for an hour.

He quickly stood up and took the small mirror in his hand.

He raised his head.

I also want to complain to a fox whose perfunctory gesture looks so beautiful, and whose tip is like a witch dancing with coins to pray to the gods, but who is so ruthless as to pull out its tail.

But that ethereal, crystal-blue silhouette had already disappeared without a trace.

Only an illusory mirror was left in the air.

Leave a few words for light broadcast.

"Oh, by the way, the Qi Ling from that alliance branch has arrived an hour ago, and it seems that he wants to talk to you."

"But because I warned him with my demonic energy, he didn't dare to step in and interrupt us."

"Maybe you suspect that I am holding you hostage."

"He has been gathering energy for his sword, using it to increase the damage to demons. Maybe he is planning to force his way in to rescue people later?"

Xingjian Jingli's voice paused for a moment in the broadcast mirror.

This was clearly a recorded recording made long ago, yet one could sense a hint of anger in it.

"Anyway," she said coldly, "you decide, Lin Xuan."

Lin Xuan: "?"

what?
The black-haired boy stared blankly.

Before his brain could start working again to accept the fact that he didn't want to accept.

All I heard was a loud shout of "Hah!" suddenly rang out outside the garrison base!
The long and narrow blade was wrapped in a hurricane.

The heavy footsteps, accompanied by the ronin's back, stepped onto the battlefield with an indomitable momentum.

A swordsman from the Demonic Demon Realm, a human organization that has been fighting monsters for thousands of years, the Demonic Demon Slayer.

Even though he died in a bloody battle, he was summoned to another world as a spirit.

Even though the opponent was a "big monster" that he could not contend with with his strength. However, when he just wanted to get closer, he was forced to retreat by a dangerous demonic aura that said "Dare to disturb me, you will die".

When I saw the innocent black-haired boy being held hostage by the fox demon.

It was like the other party's little hobby before eating, forcing the boy to comb his hair, teasing him maliciously at a very close distance, and playing with him like food (from the swordsman's perspective).

——He swung his sword without hesitation, just like he did when he was alive.

To know.

More than half of the bodies of the so-called [Demon Realm] monsters are made of pure ether.

Those parts that look like animals are different from the pure genetic bloodline in the [Ancestral Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts] war zone. It can be said that the beast-eared girl is the beast-eared girl, and the DNA test in the physical sense is that the beast-eared girl has an objective existence.

These humans have the appearance of animals, and the result of mixing two souls together
In fact, it comes from a heterogeneous curse.

After creatures enter the [special worldview rules of the demon realm - "Yellow Springs"], their souls are used as cutting materials and finally reborn in the form of monsters.

Compared to pure entities like the White Walkers.

That is, it is closer to the human mind, so the possibility of cooperative communication is retained.

and so.

As ordinary humans, just wanting to get close to these monsters will constantly erode their souls.

The seemingly unintentional emotions of monsters can often have disastrous effects on the fragile human soul.

Let a black-haired boy comb the hair - comb the ether that constitutes the body.

To put it more seriously, it's like the monster is using its own soul to strengthen the other's soul.

How can an ordinary person survive this? His soul will turn into the shape of that monster!
In the swordsman's memory, in the time and space that had not yet been destroyed, there were many poor people who died because they were too close to monsters.

Therefore, he developed a crazy obsession with monsters and was willing to be eaten by them in the end.

It can be said that he has completely become the other party's plaything.

And the Broken Age is developing now.

The alliance also has a complete and sound system for various restrictions on "monsters", one of which is not to easily groom the hair of monster-type spirits.

Please maintain a pure magical flow relationship between you and the soul, and do not escalate to unhealthy physical contact.

If you are not an old spirit master from decades ago, then these cognitions should be common sense.

How evil and cruel, to play with food like this before eating it as a sacrifice!?
The swordsman was filled with grief, and hated himself for being so powerless even after becoming a contracted spirit.

Under the pressure of that transparent and colorless evil spirit.

He couldn't even shout out to warn the poor boy.

"I hope it's not too late."

That sword was so fierce that it was filled with the life of the whole body and the momentum of going to death.

The swordsman suddenly sped up after smashing the outer wall of the garrison base.

Finally, I arrived at the location I had seen before.

When he landed.

The ronin's robe fluttered in the air, and the tip of the sword wrapped in the talisman cut through the air with a special effect similar to the breathing technique in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".

The silhouette of a man ready to fight, showing a high-class and handsome look.

"Young man, are you okay? Where did that fox go?" he asked calmly.

Looking at the young man with a dazed expression, staring at the completely collapsed wall, he stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

A trace of regret flashed across the swordsman's eyes.

Damn it! Am I still a step too late?

Judging from the appearance of this young man, his body and mind have obviously been infected by the fox demon, and he doesn't even respond to the calls from the outside world.

The swordsman sighed inwardly, but still spoke calmly.

"Don't worry. I guarantee this matter with my reputation as a demon-slaying swordsman."

"I will definitely give you a reasonable answer!"

Just as the swordsman was about to run towards the garrison base without hesitation to confirm whether the fox demon would attack others after obtaining the sacrifice.

Astonished.

But he felt the black-haired boy's hand grabbing the corner of his clothes as he was about to leave.

"You" The words he was about to say stopped abruptly.

The young man just smiled.

It was pure and dark, with a spirit that even the top swordsmen who slayed demons could hardly resist.

"Yes, that's right."

Lin Xuan's mind was familiar with the numbers and the materials needed to build the base, although he would rather not be so proficient.

Two entire walls, plus the incomplete techniques originally used for defense, had to be completely replaced.

This is a base that has been abandoned for decades.

It was also in his plan that he would use it as a new headquarters for finding people and as a base to live for a long period of time.

The young man spoke slowly with a creepy smile.

"Regarding the cost of repairs, I think it is necessary for me and your spiritual master to have a serious discussion."
