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

Chapter 78: It's over after one death? Second life, continue the level! (Two in one)

The answer wasn't too surprising.

As early as the moment his chest was pierced, Lin Xuan had already guessed this possibility.

[Broken Spacetime] possesses a certain degree of consciousness. It is not a pure natural disaster, as can be seen from the way it has eroded the world in the past.

If it is really a completely dead space and time, they will not look for a new world to parasitize and invade.

It's because I'm still trying to survive.

There is still life.

So, only when they feel the danger of real destruction is approaching will they try to do something to survive.

"And in their eyes, I am the biggest threat."

Lin Xuan squinted and looked at the night sky.

It was as if it was not the sky, but a huge "eyeball" that was vast and boundless, looking at the tiny mortals with its deep pupils.

The huge, deep eyeballs stared at him silently, like a winner declaring his success.

More than a hundred years ago, there was a mortal who was not noticed by any broken time and space. He brought the summoned heroic souls and brought humanity only one step away from dawn.

But now, a century later.

It laid traps, and used time and curses to erode the heroic souls that remained.

And the moment this mortal appeared again, the trap was ruthlessly exploded, inflicting a severe blow that was almost fatal to the mortal.

Of course, this assassination attempt failed.

But so what?
Its curse has already infected the commander's former soul, just as its erosion has penetrated deep into the land.

Compared with a broken world, the power of an individual is too small. He may have succeeded once a hundred years ago, but that was just an accidental miracle.

The reason why miracles are miracles is that they cannot be replicated.

The huge eyeball covering the sky said at this moment.

This time, you can't succeed.

And the swordsman who once cut off Huang Quan was just the initial sacrifice to prove this point.

Lin Xuan raised his head, he looked at the sky, at the eternal night that was silent and disdainful of talking to mortals.

half rate.

He smiled calmly.

"Jingli, you said earlier that when you threw all your skills, Mingyi didn't fight back, right?"

The military uniform was torn and his face was stained with blood. The weak black-haired boy turned his head.

He asked calmly, "So now her Mirror Image should be able to be clearly locked onto."

Xingjian Jingli's "mirror" is one of the highest level original powers.

It also has special properties.

In battle, the mirror reflects the enemy in detail, becoming more realistic and complete as the battle progresses.

Until finally you can summon an opponent with full strength.

Like the paper talisman used by the fox-eared girl before, if the target it reflected was not Ji Shou Ming Yi, it would have been seven or eight clones with the same strength as the enemy.

It can be regarded as an exclusive BUFF amplification state that will gradually increase with the duration of the battle and affect all abilities.

And since Ji Shouming had given up resistance before
This means that her figure at this moment has been completely recorded in the mirror.

Even if the thickest darkness tries to hide its tracks.

The mirror still reflects her position.

"Are you going to chase her now? Considering that you are still entangled by the death energy?"

Xing Jianjingli glanced at Lin Xuan with her golden eyes, as if she recognized the traces of someone left on him, but she just calmly asserted in an ethereal voice: "You will die."

"If you are worried that she will be further corroded by Huang Quan in that state, then you are underestimating the sword."

The fox demon who had survived for an unknown number of years and had a close relationship with Huang Quan said calmly: "I am not good at getting along with that swordsman, but I recognize her strength."

"She has closed her heart. This is a complete closure. Not only is it impossible for the outside world to wake her up, even the curse from the netherworld cannot do it."

"If you really want to bring her back, you might as well wait."

The fox-eared witch's voice gradually faded away.

Lin Xuan looked at her without saying anything. His ink-stained eyes were calm and steady.

This is not the boiling of blood after being provoked, nor is it the eager revenge after being cheated.

He asked questions.

This, then, is what is necessary on the road to victory.

All actions are based on reason and are intended to build ladders out of countless small possibilities.

Until the final victory.

As a traveler who has only been here for less than two months, Lin Xuan is still very weak as a spirit contract, and has not yet mastered enough information as a human being.

This world is not a game that belongs to him alone.

So when faced with the trap of information asymmetry, despite having made all the necessary preparations, he was still only one step away from death.

But in the end, Lin Xuan did not die.

and so.

In this game, whether it was luck or fate, he had not lost yet.

"Are you really going?"

Xing Jian Jingli was silent for a while, then she repeated out of character: "Even though you just died once and have used up all your cards?"

"Yes, I will go." Lin Xuan's eyes were calm, "And you are wrong about one thing. It is precisely because of now that I have to go find her."

“I see new possibilities, and this is the best time.”

The fox-eared girl looked at the boy in front of her who was covered in blood, and the scene of him closing his eyes due to blood loss a few minutes ago appeared in front of her eyes.

that moment.

She really thought she was going to lose him, again.

After a long silence.

"it is good."

Xing Jian Jingli spoke in a light and pleasant voice.

"Really? That's great." Lin Xuan also smiled. He had thought it would take more effort to explain.

As expected of a fox, his mentality is as calm as water.

If it were any other contract spirit, they wouldn't be so easy to deal with. They might be afraid that he would die, so they would force him into the basement.

"Then you should take a rest first. Didn't the fight just now drain all your demonic power? It's okay, you can go slower. Mingyi won't be able to walk far anyway as she is seriously injured."

Lin Xuan said this while lowering his head to straighten his torn shirt. His condition was even worse than that of a battle damage.

"No, that's not necessary."

The fox-eared girl's ethereal voice sounded softly, and Lin Xuangang looked up in confusion and wanted to ask why.

He felt the only remaining collar of his clothes being pulled.

Following closely.

The lips feel familiar, yet slightly different, the softness of a young girl.

If I say that the kiss on the hospital bed not long ago had a sly and mischievous flavor.
It's like a kitten, using its soft paws to gently scratch your skin, giving you a sweet, itchy feeling, but it won't let you eat it directly after just a taste.

So this kiss now, there is only tranquility.

Xingjian Jingli's shrine maiden costume was cut and torn into pieces. Due to the lack of her demonic power, it has not yet been repaired, revealing a lot of her fair skin, which was not covered up.

Now that they were tightly attached to each other, Lin Xuan could clearly feel the softness of the girl's body.

This was also her first time doing this, so you could tell she was not very skilled in her movements.

But perhaps in order to increase the efficiency of obtaining ether, she pressed her entire body against him to ensure the flow of magic between the two.

A pair of crystal blue fox ears drooped softly, and the fluffy tail wrapped around Lin Xuan's arm, as if wanting to catch him and not allow him to separate without permission.

The sweet tongue gently circled the lips.

This is a quiet and long process, like a ritual in which a witch prays devoutly to the gods.

"All right."

Xing Jian Jingli said in a cold voice, and took the initiative to let go of the black-haired boy who was still in a daze.

She quickly retracted her tail, wiped the remaining water stains on the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and her light golden eyes restrained their expression.

He was clearly the one who took the initiative just now.

But she acted as if nothing had happened, and even her cheeks didn't turn red at all.

"I see." The fox-eared witch commented in an ethereal voice, "This is indeed a good way to replenish demonic power."

"It seems that your previous actions were not just the impulse of primitive instinct, but were taken considering practical efficiency."

"I can slightly modify my evaluation of you, Lin Xuan."

As she spoke, she had already drawn a path on her side, and a bright mirror image appeared out of thin air.

After that space.

A swordswoman girl, covered in wounds, was dragging her feet alone in the desolate wilderness.

Her haori was torn, and the crescent moon of the light cherry blossom was broken and could no longer cover her body. The bandages were stained with blood, and even the automatic healing function could not stop the bleeding.

Her light steps were gone.

Dragging the body.

The dripping blood, like weeping tears, constantly soaked and dyed the land where the girl walked red.

The hopes she once pursued were shattered and she is now a complete zombie.

"Go, do what you should do." Xingjian Jingli stood next to the reflective mirror and said softly.

Her flawless golden eyes stared directly at Lin Xuan, and she gave him a cold command.

"Then, come back alive."

Lin Xuan looked at the image reflected on the other side of the mirror. He no longer worried about the feeling just now and some inexplicable changes in the fox-eared girl.

His expression regained its composure.

He smiled calmly and confidently, "Of course, I will follow your instructions, Miss Miko."

Then, the young man, covered in blood, stepped forward and walked into the reflection in the mirror.

=====
Cold and dark, like a river falling into winter snow.

Even if you try hard to struggle, you can't grab any warmth to rely on.

Ji Shou Ming Yi had experienced this feeling once before.

That is the Styx in the underworld.

At that time, she stepped through the gate of the underworld to face the curse on this land and challenged the natural disaster as a living person.

Hundreds of millions of resentful souls rushed towards her, as if the chill of death was about to devour her body.

After just a short moment, consciousness seems to be destroyed, the soul will return to the underworld and become part of the eternal night.

But at that time, Ji Shou Ming Yi didn't care.

Born in a small village.

Her mother died when she was born, and she hid her and went to lure away the attacking ghosts.

Later, the people in the village treated her well, but they also died. A curse fell on the village, isolating all roads from the village to the outside world.

The rules say that the fight will end with the last man standing.

Only then can you go out again.

There was no killing. The elderly people gave up their own lives to let the only young girl in the village leave the village, and told her with a smile that she must survive.

Humanity can be destroyed by eternal night and curse, but cannot be defeated.

She later found a broken sword next to the samurai's body.

She started killing ghosts.

After that, a lot of things happened.

Jichang Mingyi didn't know why so many people began to worship her, nor did she know why some humans attacked her and accused her of violating the laws between the living and the dead.

Girls are not good at thinking.

She is just a nameless broken sword that has survived by chance and has become a tool for killing ghosts. This is her entire meaning.

In the end, Ji Shou Mingyi succeeded. After she stepped into the underworld, she swung her sword to cut off the endless flow of souls, changing the eternal law.

At the cost of his own life.

Later, Ji Shou Ming Yi opened her eyes again. She thought she would continue to kill ghosts, but she found that there were many more enemies in this new world.

A young man said to her seriously, I need you.

So the wandering knife found a new owner.

But now, she had killed the most important person with her own hands. She had ignored the trap because of her stupidity, and she had been used by the curse because of her slowness.

She is not a competent tool, but a demonic sword that can kill her master.

Thinking about this.

Ji Shoumingyi felt even colder all over, as if the curse was deliberately stirring up the shadow in her heart, trying to occupy her entire body.

But a closed heart will not let the curse enter.

She has completely rejected the world and is waiting for destruction to exile her.

Walking in the wilderness, the wind blew naturally around her. Thousands of swords refused to let any living creatures get close, leaving scars on the girl's skin.

In this cold and dark river, she was ready to drown herself in the depths of death.

Forever.

Suddenly.

Like a flame, it slowly ignited, causing Ji Shouming to move closer subconsciously.

When she reacted and subconsciously tried to avoid the brightness, the flame suddenly burned fiercely.

Aggressively and unquestionably, he grabbed Ji Shoumingyi's hand before she could escape, and held it tightly as if he would never let go.

That smell is so nostalgic and familiar.

The smell of blood wafted from the fire, but his hands remained firm.

A sudden fear made the girl start to struggle out of her addiction. It seemed like her body must not make the same mistake a second time.

Freed from the curse for a brief moment, his dull and empty grey eyes focused.

The face of the black-haired boy came into view.

"Good morning. Or should I say good night?"

Lin Xuan picked up the [Nameless Broken Sword] that someone had dropped before and had not yet triggered the armed recovery mechanism.

Relying on the "Heroic-level Swordsmanship Source" given by the system earlier, he struggled to resist the sword wind blowing around him.

He was now covered in wounds, the knife's wind was constantly cutting his skin like a slow slicing, and the severe pain was constantly invading his consciousness.

But she still pretended to smile casually: "You finally woke up. If it was a little later, I would probably have to sleep with you forever."

"Spirit Envoy!"

Ji Shoumingyi widened her eyes, with tears and excitement swirling in her pupils. She murmured in a trembling voice, "You... you are not dead?"

But the girl soon reacted.

She did not use the sword storm on her own initiative. It was probably because Huang Quan's curse realized that the boy was approaching and wanted to force him back, so it manipulated some of her power.

But who would have thought that someone’s portal would be right above them?
He swooped down almost like a suicide attack.

"Spirit Envoy, please leave quickly and leave me alone!"

Ji Shoumingyi's tone was anxious, and he shouted in an awkward and unskilled voice: "My current body can still be controlled. You will die if you stay with me!"

It’s enough to know that Lin Xuan is not dead.

She had hope again, and that made it meaningful for her to continue to persevere.

No matter how Huang Quan's curse erodes her, she will never let it succeed and will resist stubbornly.

Ji Shouming believed it.

When the Spirit Envoy is ready, he will definitely come back to find her.

Even if it takes ten, twenty, or even a hundred years of waiting, she will keep waiting.

"You wish." Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and smiled reluctantly. He seemed to be preparing to do something. Rich silver-white ether drew lines all over his body.

He had previously leveled up six levels at once, which directly restored his status to full capacity.

Because of the violent outpouring of surging ether.

Even his eyes were stained with a silvery glow.

He laughed and said, "What I hate most when playing a dungeon is that it suddenly pops up in the middle of the game and I have to retreat and find the key or props again before I can continue to play through the game."

"Since this is the instance I personally selected, there's no reason for me to evacuate before I finish it!"

Ji Shoumingyi looked anxious and wanted to say something else, but deep darkness emerged in her eyes again, and her slender fingers hooked towards the air.

The long sword held by the young man flew back into her hand.

Qi Ling has absolute control over their own weapons, which are considered part of their souls and can reappear out of thin air even if they are lost.

Then, under the eye-like gaze of the vast sky, it seemed as if the previous scene was to be repeated again.

The long sword in the girl's hand slashed out uncontrollably.

It swung towards Lin Xuan's abdomen, as if it wanted to kill him completely this time.

"Ji Shou Ming Yi, are you willing to be my sword once again and fight alongside me?"

Lin Xuan suddenly said in a steady voice.

The girl's expression was still confused and dazed, and her body was not controlled by her consciousness.

But at this moment, she nodded almost instinctively.

【Ding. 】

A brilliant silver-white light exploded in the dead silent night sky, like the sun blooming in the wasteland, purifying and dispelling all evil and filth.

[The contract is successful. The number of contracted spirits of the player is 2/2: 『Mirror Spirit Fox·Hoshimi Jingli』, 『Slayer of All Evils·Himeshu Mingyi』. ]

[Player level increased, current level lv.17. ]

[The status of "Kill All Evils·Hime Hunting Ming Yi" is abnormal. Please be careful and deal with it as soon as possible. 】

No surprises.

As expected, it was just a simple contract and could not remove the curse that had eroded Ji Shoumingyi.

Otherwise, there would be no need to specially jump out of a special task before, and the reward would be so generous.

Lin Xuan glanced at it quickly with a calm expression.

Ignoring other unimportant information, he turned his gaze back to the girl in front of him whose knife-swinging movements had slowed down due to the progress of the contract.

She was at a loss.

Looking at the sword in his hand, he seemed to realize what had happened, and his little face revealed deep confusion and fear.

This delay is only temporary. Once the etheric circuit stabilizes again, the curse will only lurk deep within the girl's body and continue to haunt her soul.

When Lin Xuan becomes careless, his ferocious fangs will be exposed again.

So, Lin Xuan didn't pause for even a moment.

He spoke calmly in a clear voice: "System, use the skill, 'Resonance Transformation'——"

"Choose the target, [Kill all evil, Ji Shou Ming Yi]!"
