People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

The subsequent negotiations went smoothly as expected, and Xiyer took the low-end version sample back to report.

But before leaving, Xier asked a slightly strange question: "Mr. Qin, have you ever encountered a dead apostle similar to 'Zu' in Zongye City before?"

"No." Qin Xuan only killed an ordinary Dead Apostle named Toono Shiki, but did not completely kill him. Then he sealed him up and researched a curse against the Dead Apostles, and the effect was surprisingly good.

"That's it, then it's okay."

Is this feeling wrong? Xiyeer wondered.

------

Now that this has been brought up, Qin Xuan wants to go to the basement and take a look at that thing (Tono Shiki). "No. 17, is the experimental subject still the same as usual?"

"Report: There is no abnormality in the seal, but the target's physical activity has increased. This happened today."

"what?"

------

The inner sea of ​​stars, the thousand-year-old city.

"Roya...!!!"

The pure white existence awakened.

Chapter 24: Seven Days, Seven Swords

"what happened?"

Qin Xuan was standing in front of a cylindrical life-support device. The device was surrounded by a sealing barrier that was visible to the naked eye and had dense runes on it. Inside, one could vaguely see that it was filled with a viscous liquid that was bubbling. "Tono Shiki" was soaked in it. From the side of its limb that was closer to the transparent shell of the life-support device, it could be seen that due to not "eating" for too long, the skin looked pale and blue, without a trace of blood.

To be honest, Qin Xuan hadn't paid attention to this thing for a long time. Logically speaking, the Dead Apostles were not True Ancestors, and if they didn't take in "food" - that is, human blood - for a long time, they would become weaker and weaker, including a decrease in strength and physical deterioration.

Qin Xuan's device was only used to keep the body intact. As for the "Tono Shiki" inside, he was probably dead a long time ago. He received a commission in Soya City and cooperated with Amber to kill Tono Makihisa and his son. Among them, Tono Shiki, oh no, a dead apostle, was the first time he had seen this kind of creature. Due to the lack of means to eliminate it, he had to capture it and study it.

The result was that the Dead Apostle Curse technique was developed, but before further experiments could be carried out, Toono Shiki became half-dead, and had no reaction at all, as if he had lost his soul. The experiment was terminated, and Qin Xuan sealed it up and never touched it again.

Prometheus reported: "The target's body showed a contraction reaction at 1:35 pm today. Preliminary judgment is that it has recovered extremely weak activity. The reason is unknown."

"Is there anything special happening during this period?"

"Report: It basically coincides with the visit time of Miss Hierer, the representative of the Holy Church."

Huh? Why are these two people together again? Is this a bit of a joke?

Qin Xuan, who was not aware of the French incident, was a little bald.

I thought it was outrageous enough that your Burial Bureau had one or two ancestors of the Dead Apostles as members. If this continues, won’t it develop into a situation where everyone is a mole?

"Forget it, the burial mechanism is not my business anyway," Qin Xuan decided to unseal the old man in front of him who had been soaking for many years and see what had awakened.

Qin Xuan stretched out his palm forward, and his magic power touched the seal on the surface of the life support device. Countless sealing runes lit up one by one. Under the guidance of the magic power, they began to arrange and combine in a complex and rapid manner. Finally, the life support device finally appeared in front of him without any obstacles.

"Eh... Is this... a spirit? No, a living soul?"

Qin Xuan, who has mastered the pseudo-spiritual technology and can apply it, can now quickly feel, or identify whether this body has a soul. Obviously, in Qin Xuan's view, "Tono Shiki" has come back to life for some reason, or he has never died. Although it seems that the reaction is weak at present, like a deep coma.

However, this kind of thing could not be confirmed in the past, after all, there was no such technical reserves at that time.

"Prometheus, reconstruct the target's spirit particles and extract all the data."

"Received... The etheric fiber has been connected, and the spirit particle reconstruction project has started."

With the support of the spirit particle technology, the new combination and construction of pseudo-spirit particles and magic power provide Prometheus with an excellent computer technique operation environment. Therefore, the operations that were originally only possible at the level of electrical signals and physical lines can now be extended to the spirit particle level to achieve the invasion, transcription, and translation of soul engineering. Although it is still difficult to reversely affect the real reality of the operation, it is now possible to extract soul information as a spirit particle body, which is more than enough to be a "spirit particle hacker".

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Qin Xuan felt that the waiting time was unexpectedly long, or was it that the memory data stored in his soul was only so much?

"Creator, all transcriptions have been completed."

"Finally you're done, let me see what you are...Akasha Snake Roa!?"

Ah, another extra-curricular "ancestor" has appeared? Have you been having problems with your ancestors recently?

This is already the third one. In this case, is my record equal to that of the guy from the Templar Church's burial agency?

I hope there won't be any more ancestors next time. If there is one... I will just have to plunder the loot again. Qin Xuan silently set a flag and continued to look through the memory data.

"Infinite Reincarnation Ritual... Overload... Topic..." What Qin Xuan didn't expect was that the more he watched, the more excited he became. This Luo Ya was simply a human gift package!

Qin Xuan now also knows the information about the ancestors of the dead apostles that has been made public. Roja is most famous for his infinite reincarnations, and every time he reincarnates, he is hunted by a certain white lady. But what cannot be ignored is that as a senior magician, he studies a unique topic in each life and determines the research direction for the next life. This is also the reason why he specially selects the object of reincarnation every time.

Most importantly, Qin Xuan found a research result called "Soil of Creation". The information from experimental design to data to application was very detailed. When he saw this, he immediately thought of a ball of soil left by Nero Chaos that seemed to be always moving.

"It's absolutely amazing! It really comes without any effort!"

Qin Xuan was unusually happy because he was satisfied with this coincidental gain. Compared with the investment in Zibia, which was lucrative but of unclear significance, hot and uneasy, this gift he picked up for free was more gratifying.

--------

At dinner time, Qin Xuan came out of the basement as usual. At this time, Toosaka Rin and No. 17 worked together to prepare the meal.

Unlike Lin, who is very proficient in modern technology under the influence of Qin Xuan, Iluli is unexpectedly not good at machinery, so he naturally takes on the role of "mechanical idiot". After breaking the household equipment several times, he was told by Lin not to touch it again, so he had to be assigned to do other housework.

Ye Ye on the side was sharing Iluli's work. After being "educated" once, Ye Ye was particularly honest under Iluli's surveillance, although it was unknown how long it would take for his true colors to be revealed again.

Qin Xuan was in a good mood at this time for some reason that no one present understood, so he walked briskly to Toosaka Rin, stroked her head and said:

"Thank you for your hard work at dinner."

"Stupid, stupid, what are you talking about all of a sudden!" Toosaka Rin's eyes widened instantly, and her tone became hurried when she spoke, "Are you done with the experiment? If you are, go wash your hands and eat!"

A knowing chuckle came from upstairs.

He looked up at the second floor and saw Aozaki Touko walking out of a room, followed by a dazed Bazette. That was the room that Touko had just arranged as her doll workshop. No one knew what she was busy with today.

Could it be that he is really trying to get Bazette's rune inheritance for free?

As for Ryougi Shiki in the next room, she had already come down. Ryougi Shiki was still in the rehabilitation stage after being discharged from the hospital. As the most idle guest in the Qin Mansion, judging from her daily behavior, she probably wanted to carry out "idleness" to the end, and she was probably wandering around Fuyuki City all day.

Anyway, the entire Dongmu is under the surveillance of Prometheus, so there is no problem with safety, so Qin Xuan didn't care about her.

However, what Qin Xuan did not expect was that Ryougi Shiki would actually take the initiative to find him in the evening.

Of course, I had something serious to discuss with him.

"You're telling me that you saw a woman in Fuyuki City that you probably couldn't kill?"

Qin Xuan pondered the meaning behind the words. Instead of asking "whether he can be defeated or not", he was wondering "whether he can be killed or not"?

"It can be killed, but it feels like it can't be killed."

What kind of contradictory literature is this?

"You looked at her with your magic eyes?"

"Ah."

"What are her characteristics?"

"A blue-haired nun."

??, isn't that Xiyeer? Why bother with her? She's the ruthless person who killed two ancestors. Luckily you didn't have the guts to ask her directly.

Asking this question would make you seem suspicious, even though the person doesn't have a bad temper.

"What's wrong with not being able to kill him? You seem quite curious about this. Can you tell me why?" Qin Xuan looked at Ryougi Shiki.

Ryougi Shiki couldn't help but fall silent, the expression on her face seemed to be buried in the shadow of her long hair.

He found that Ryougi Shiki seemed to have no sense of participation in the life around him because of his empty heart. Although he was not a normal person in the Qin Mansion:

For example, the father-loving pervert and mechanical idiot who look like living people but are actually dolls, the owner who stays in the basement all day doing unknown horror research, and the smart home appliances that seem very sci-fi in this era...

"Give me a reason."

"I... want to see the scenery somewhere else." Maybe she was suddenly inspired by Xiel, or was infected by the positive attitude towards life of the people around her, or maybe it was just an impulse of premonition, an understanding of her experience, Ryougi Shiki decided to take the first step towards the inside world.

Qin Xuan agreed to her request. No matter what, people are ultimately responsible for their own choices. When Qin Xuan granted and guided Ryougi Shiki the direction to move forward, she was automatically (regarded as) standing in Qin Xuan's camp. As for whether there would be storms or sunshine in the future, it would depend on whether she could reach a sufficient level of strength.

"I'll take this as your wish."

After saying that, Qin Xuan took out a small knife, the kind that can be found everywhere, and said, "Open the magic eye and try cutting here." He stretched out a finger.

"...?"

Qin Xuan knew her confusion, so he demonstrated it himself first: he chopped down with the knife, and with the blessing of the "Golden Body of the Ming King", his fingers did not break, but the knife did.

Then he took out another knife and gave it to Ryougi Shiki, "Try cutting it. You don't have to cut it all the way through. Just tell me how it feels when you cut the line."

"Okay," Ryougi Shiki opened her magic eyes, a mythical light appeared in her pupils, and she gently pointed the knife at Qin Xuan's fingers -

"Stop it," Qin Xuan took away Ryougi Shiki's hand, took away her knife, and confirmed that she didn't feel anything unusual. "It seems that it is indeed the Mystic Eyes of Death."

Then Qin Xuan took out something. From Ryougi Shiki's perspective, it looked like an ordinary glass jar, but the constantly moving muddy substance inside made Ryougi Shiki feel a little weird.

"Here, can you see the dead line?" Qin Xuan pointed to the "Land of Creation" at hand.

"See... huh? I can't seem to see clearly." Ryougi Shiki frowned.

"It seems that the direction of the development of the Demon Eye is only "death". If it is far away from or even has no concept of death, there should be no way." Qin Xuan made a note and speculated that there should be many similar "immortal" things in this world, and the Death Demon Eye cannot wipe out everything. The second speculation is that due to the limitations of the mortal body, the understanding of "death" cannot reach the realm of "the end of all things" at the root, so the Demon Eye's interpretation of death is hierarchical. Maybe we can try to strengthen it by developing the brain?

"Okay, the evaluation of the magic eye has come to an end. I will arrange the "Divine Sound" experiment in the future to enhance your magic eye usage level," Qin Xuan finished recording. "Now let's solve the problem of intuitive combat power. The first is the physical foundation, and the second is the weapon. The first physical aspect is difficult to achieve overnight, so I prepared a weapon."

Then he took out a sword that was more than two meters long - "Seven Days Seven Swords".

Chapter 25 I am the approaching storm——!!

Ryougi Shiki looked at the "Seven Days Seven Swords" in Qin Xuan's hand. Generally speaking, this kind of super-long sword is difficult to use in combat. Considering the arm length and height of the human body, more than 1.5 meters is almost the limit. Even if the strength of the material itself is not considered, the excessive length of the sword also means a sharp increase in the difficulty of use, which is a great test of the skill level of the sword user.

"Are you sure it's ok to use it?" Although Ryougi Shiki was proficient in everything from bare-handed combat, daggers to katana, the blade that was longer than her height had affected her performance.

"Yes, strictly speaking, this is not just a Japanese sword. You can think of it as a technical equipment that combines a whole set of functions and covers both long-range and short-range attack modes," Qin Xuan explained.

Obviously, the short-range mode is just to swing the sword to defeat the enemy, while the long-range mode requires the action of drawing the sword to activate the spirit alloy steel (soul steel) wire launcher, and then use the deflection and swinging of the sword to control the direction of the steel wire, and then quickly complete the action of "sheathing the sword" after the steel wire extends to the target length and the cutting is completed, and the steel wire is retracted.

Since the initial velocity of the steel wire is very high when it is launched, the range of attack depends on the knife holder's knife speed. If the action is fast enough, it is no problem to complete a 360-degree all-round cut.

"This is a sample for display to you. If you want a shorter one, that's fine, but the attack range and endurance will be reduced." In fact, in addition to being a "switch", the scabbard's main purpose is to store energy and provide space for steel wires (including spare steel wires), so if it is made shorter, it will naturally be affected accordingly.

"After saying so much, let me demonstrate it. Follow me."

Qin Xuan took Liang Yishi's hand.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but look at her held hand and tilted her head.

Qin Xuan quickly explained: "The next place is quite special. You must have my approval to enter. If others want to enter, they must touch me."

Before Ryougi Shiki could say anything, she suddenly noticed that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed.

This is a gray world. The two people stood on an unfamiliar and deserted street. There were rows of high-rise buildings on both sides, but there were no windows, no signs, and no indicative text. It was as if the newly built rough houses were immediately abandoned by the developer. In the distance, there was literally nothing. You could see that the road ended at the end, and outside were pixels with monotonous and regular colors.

"This is the spirit space. I won't explain the principle. Anyway, you can think of the effect as a virtual world." Qin Xuan led Ryougi Shiki forward and approached the end of the road. "Due to hardware limitations, we can only make it as big as a street."

Speaking of this, Qin Xuan suddenly thought of the hardware problem which was also a difficult problem. At the beginning, Zibia had given him an address with advanced computing equipment, but he had never gone to get it. The main reason was that if Qin Xuan was not in the local area, his strength would be greatly affected. He didn't know what trouble that village had, so it would be a bit hasty to rush to get it.

Besides, he is probably still being monitored by a gang in the magic world. If they heard that the "human nuclear weapon" had come to Britain in person, they would probably react strongly, which would be a very troublesome matter.

"What's wrong?" Ryougi Shiki saw that he stopped and thought he couldn't go any further.

"It's okay," Qin Xuan looked at the floating "pixel background" at the end of the road, "There's nothing in front of me. This is just some redundant data. It doesn't actually build anything real. People can't get through it."

"In short, it's a small space that can be used to test some destructive technologies," Qin Xuan asked Ryougi Shiki to follow him to the end of the road. "This is it. Then I will go back to the center of the road to demonstrate it to you."

Ryougi Shiki looked around and saw that the distance to the center of the street was about 500 to 600 meters. "Is the range so large?"

"You have to try to exert as much effort as possible."

After a while, Qin Xuan returned all the way to the center of the street. The more than 2-meter-long Seven Days Seven Swords was across his waist. Compared with his height, it looked like a spear. Qin Xuan tilted the knife's edge to the left side of his waist, and then pressed his dominant right hand on the hilt.

The "Golden Body of the Ming King" strengthens the body, and the "Spiritual Consciousness" scans the entire environment. Then the magic power surges and gathers in large quantities towards the palms, wrists, and arms... In short, it's all "strength" and no "skill".

"bass--"

Due to the comprehensive blessing of magic power and techniques, the number and range of soul steel threads were increased to the maximum. At a moment when even the sound was surpassed, dense and deadly threads were shot out, spreading further and further away.

The almost transparent, invisible thread penetrated the cement, brick and concrete structure of the building unimpeded, and then extended horizontally, sweeping through layers of rooms and tall buildings.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding buildings seemed to have been blown by a storm, no, as if they had been ravaged by a disaster as sharp as a blade. Horizontal, conspicuous cracks were all over them, and on each mark there were blue spirit particle residues produced by the cutting of high-temperature and high-speed soul steel. It seemed as if the buildings in the entire block were coated with dense blue fluorescent lines in various directions.

"So fast...!" Ryougi Shiki in the distance opened her eyes wide and paid attention to Qin Xuan's movements. She clearly did not blink, but when she reacted, she could only see Qin Xuan putting away his sword.
