The prisoner and the sea

I have a thought, a painful thought.

pain.

——Gwen got up from the bed, and beside the bed was a beautiful lake in the center of the circle. A huge mangrove tree was planted beside the lake, and the fallen leaves kept floating into the water. Stone statues of cat lights surrounded the lake, like human beings. Walking civet cats, large cat lanterns, and small rabbit balls walk by the lake.

dream.

Gwen knew that this was a dream controlled by her.

While thinking, something furry and warm swept across his face.

"Meow?"

Did the cat lamp come from a dream?Or are they real and just invaded their dreams?

And what I think now is what I think in a dream, or is it just a dream?

A vague dream?
"It's funny, when I don't want to take a good rest, I can't control the dream to create a more real opponent for me. But today, when I want to have a good rest, sleep, and forget about those things, this dream It came out so suddenly."

Reach out and move the curious cat light away.

The hairy feel, the thick fat under the fur, and the high body temperature brought on by the inherent brightness of the cat lamp.

It's so real.

If he hadn't been sure that his bed couldn't have six brass mechanical legs and looked like a topaz coffin filled with flannelette, blanket and pillow, he could almost think this was the real world.

Turn over and jump off the topaz coffin bed.

bang——

The ground seemed to tremble, and Gwen stared dumbfounded at the cracks on the ground, the flying dust, the swaying red giant tree, and the panicked behavior of the residents after she landed.

"..."

Am I that heavy?

Gwen felt her body getting heavier and her movements slower and slower.Thinking is like being poisoned, it starts to slow down, and sleepiness rises.

"Empty thoughts, who are you, where is this place, who am I?"

A gentle and peaceful voice came from behind as always.

Gwen emptied his miscellaneous hesitation and thinking according to the profound meaning of martial arts, and felt his body relax.

"I'm...Gwen?"

His body became solidified.

It was only then that Gwen noticed that his body was covered by a light white membrane. After the concept of "I am Gwen" emerged in his will, the white membrane faded away, revealing the black yoga clothes inside. .

"You are……"

A person flashed through Gwen's mind.

He turned his head.

Aya was standing behind, wearing an elongated dark red long-sleeved smock with dark patterns of the other shore flower, and her smooth, straight, flaming hair was neatly draped behind her.The exposed calf was wrapped in dark brown breathable stockings, and a pair of high-top dark red rubber thick-soled boots wrapped up to the ankle.

"Is this what you think?"

Aya interlaced her hands and fingers, placed them in front of her abdomen, and tilted her head slightly.His jaw dropped a little, and his eyes glanced down.

"Aya, Heartless Knight Aya. Is this what you think?"

The voice is more mature than Aya.

"Is this your soul?"

Gwen shook hands and made a clicking sound with his left hand.

"You watched and witnessed her closing her eyes under your warmth and entering reincarnation." Aya pointed to the water and walked over. …

The dark red rubber platform shoes stepped on the water.

pat, pat-

She took two steps, turned around, and spread her hands, "Dreams are really omnipotent. You can see dead people and chat with dead people."

"Then who are you?"

Gwen looked at the water, staring, thinking.

Aya smiled and raised her chin slightly: "Everyone, everyone who exists only for you. You see, this is a dream, you dreamed of me, you dreamed of me talking to you, you dreamed of your I ask... I ask you, what is inevitable and must be in this series of steps?"

"...'I dreamed,' you're saying it's a given step."

"That's right." Aya tapped the water surface, "Did you dream that you were standing on the water?"

It's like the 'don't look at the white elephant' story, huh?
Gwen felt a little dazed, and when her eyes widened, she had already stepped on the water, standing face to face with Aya in the center of the lake.

"I……"

Gudong!

The sudden gravity caused Gwen to fall into the water, sinking all the way.

His thoughts suddenly flustered, but he remained calm, but he couldn't control what he was thinking.

I'm suffocating...

He held his throat with his left hand, just as the pain came.

boom--

He fell out of the water, and the huge centrifugal force caused the world to spin!

With a final snap, Gwen fell to the surface.

lake center.

Aya stood opposite.

"Look. 'Standing on the water', 'Why am I able to stand on the water', the dream is more chaotic than you think, but there is a trace of rationality, a little bit of logic. Shhh - think about it, why would you Come in, why are you meeting with me? Do you... really want to sleep well?"

Gwen remembered.

He dreamed of an opponent, dreamed of training with the opponent, that is to say...

"The person in front of me is my enemy."

He spoke slowly, panting.

Aya raised her eyebrows in relief: "So..."

The two said in unison: "...'Why is this person my enemy'."

hum.

The flaming lightsaber of Aya's heyday appeared in her hands, "So you have imagined my heyday?"

"Feel sorry."

hum.

Gwen pulled out her own lightsaber: "I can't help but deduce your past when I first saw you, see your growth trajectory, see the training you do every second, and deduce your perfect age."

Aya smiled:

"Don't ask, is it the soul of the heartless knight Aya standing here?"

"No more."

Gwen let out a long sigh of relief, and then snapped: "I'm going to fuck!"

Aya smiled and gestured.

The two red glows suddenly erupted and collided together!
Gwen's skill has reached an astonishing level, he's in the prime of a fighting age, young enough and strong enough.The source force can achieve a better fighting posture by changing his body. Gwen has been using source force to nourish his joints and his waist for such a long time.

This body is relatively short.

But it has its advantage, that is, it has a theoretical level of speed.In the situation where the source power is far inferior to Long Yan, he can catch up with the opponent's speed; at the same time, he also has the advantages of explosive power and reduced area of ​​attack. …

The disadvantage is that it will lack strength. Even a short and beautiful boy with strange strength like Mihaila will inevitably fall into a disadvantage in front of players with the same level of strange strength, such as Artyom.

Therefore, the swordsmanship used by Gwen is extremely dangerous. Through the wrist, he can adjust his attack distance, direction and flexibility to match his own speed.

After abandoning the strength-type swordsmanship, Gwen's dexterity-type is full of deadly threats.

His figure is like a fog, light and ethereal, covering Aya.

The lightsabers formed a piece of sword light, surrounded Aya, and continued to erode.

"Have you never experienced a real battlefield?"

Aya laughed at his sword skills and skills.

Gwen's unwavering, irritating and countering tactics to him, he's seen hundreds of times.The most dangerous time was when six people besieged him, two with long guns, one with a knife and shield, the remaining two with submachine guns, and one with a rifle.They're also more clumsy.

But these people are different from Aya.

Although it is strange to say so, Aya is more dangerous than any enemy Gwen has encountered, even... more dangerous than Longyan!
Didn't use the source power - don't know if it's because Gwen has never seen her source force feature so it can't be used.

But even so, Aya's way of cracking Gwen's single-twist sword technique is still simple.

Keeping the axis foot still, hard-wired all of Gwen's sword strikes, and at the same time used the advantages of height and sword length to attack with himself as the axis, thereby shortening the interval between his attacks, but strengthening the middle-range sword dance speed.The fundamental principle is similar to the acceleration and attack speed at the edge of the attack distance brought about by Gwen swinging the lightsaber with his wrist.

Aya only needs to turn her body about 5 centimeters away, and Gwen has to dodge a distance of nearly 25 centimeters to avoid the opponent's lightsaber with superior strength.

She has no concept of swordsmanship.

For this commander, swordsmanship has become an intuitive tool instead.

No mood.

No burst skills.

There are no complicated sword tactics.

Instead, it's called 'Modern and Ancient Swordsmanship', namely 'Angles, Lengths, Engaging Stances' and 'How to Kill'.

Gwen had never fought an enemy like this before.

Even Li Qi, a mind flayer, has never had such a terrifying ability.

This is also a matter of course.

Aya has spent her entire life on the battlefield.

What Gwen saw and could observe was that this woman had experienced no less than a hundred battles, which belonged to the real old fritters on the battlefield.And always rushing to the front line, so the use of his own body is extremely precise.

By controlling her figure, Aya replaced Gwen's lower elbow with her own waist in a desperate style of play.

This is a good deal to do.

thought Gwen.

But then he finds that things have turned out more than he expected.Aya baked her wound with a lightsaber. Although it hurt enough, it would not affect her left and right swords, and Gwen?No, the elbow injury completely sealed his left-handed sword. At the same time, relying on his wrist strength to use his own swordsmanship does not prevent him from being a first-class swordsman, but fighting Aya?
impossible.

After a while he was knocked down and sank into the water. …

……

"puff!"

Gwen let out a breathing sound as if her head was held in the water for a minute, then she raised her head and saw the light again.

The catman who was reading the newspaper beside him let out a quick exclamation while biting his lip.

The girl Fenglan's figure was covered by fluffy brown pajamas, and her snow-white skin trembled slightly.Rabbit Man saw that there was no one else in the lounge, except for Gwen, only Mihaila, who was sleeping soundly in aqua-blue pajamas, was there, which meant that no one saw her embarrassing scene just now, so she vomited Ask in tone:

"Have a nightmare?"

"..."

Gwen rubbed her temples, yawned loudly, straightened her legs in her sleeping stockings, shivered, and pulled her nightgown tighter.Putting down his hands and rubbing his eyes, he said a little tiredly, "It's okay. The way I slept just now, was, was it weird?"

"No. I slept like a cat lamp."

——From the bookshelf next to it, six cats poked their heads out, their eyes staring at the manul, and cat lights seemed to be everywhere.

Same as the cat light...what's the review?
Gwen stretched.

Just after he came back, the room was still being occupied by the cat Valo, so he simply took a shower with Mihaila, changed into his pajamas, and lay down comfortably in the main tower lounge for a while, squinting. meeting.

"Is there anything in the newspaper?"

Gwen spoke the code word.

This is the signal for the mantle to hurry over to gossip - as he expected, the mantle first shook his head to indicate that there was no news, then his eyes lit up, he came over with a smile, and said:

"But I know that something happened in the secret investigation. The curse blade and Kasim have some conflicts."

Kasim.

——Hearing this name, a pair of violet eyes and a melancholy and dark beauty naturally appeared in my mind.

"Oh?"

Rabbit mantle shook his face, and said cautiously:

"Don't say that I told you... Curseblade believes that secret agents must refuse to cooperate with the special commissioners of the authorities. Kasim thinks it is a fool to have money and not make money. In short, the recent troubles between these two people are not bad. Quite stiff."

But didn't she still ask Curseblade for help, and Curseblade also helped her... Gwen didn't speak, to avoid letting the manul know information that she shouldn't know.

"As a result, Kasim took her team to do this business. It is said that they are all in a mobilization. Tell me, who would have such a big face to make her take the commission without hesitating to break up with Cursed Blade?"

Curseblade and Kasim are definitely double reeds.

The poor manul was being played with in the palm of his hand.

"Then did you find out where Kasim went?"

"She has a tight mouth."

The rabbit mantle said dissatisfied: "I made a good relationship with her, and even let her touch my tail, but she just didn't let go."

That's a big deal.

The cat's tail is a big fluffy tail, the kind that people are willing to pay for rubbing.

"But the tea festival made her a little nervous." Rabbit Man showed a deliberate expression on his face, "Because Kasim is very beautiful, many people will ask her out, and she, well, although she doesn't act shy, she still She is very shy, and in the face of her shyness, the way she chooses to decompress is to make money... This time I heard that she brought out a few newcomers, who seem to be her promising juniors.”…

"Really good."

Supporting juniors, this can be regarded as a fine tradition of secret investigation.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was kicked open.

—the heavy ornate door roared heavily, and the tall curseblade entered, and the sound of heels hitting the wooden floor loudly could wake the dragon.

"What, what's wrong?"

Mihaila, who was awakened from a dream, asked in a daze, he did not forget to cover his chest and pull up his pajama pants in a daze.

Curseblade glanced at them:
"The distress signal from the Gray Tower, at Evans Castle."

"Huh?" Rabbit Maul was surprised, "Sukka bastard, did he go with us secretly?"

"No, it was an accident."

Curse Blade threw down three entrustment documents, "Signed, get ready immediately, we set out to save this stupid bear."

The entrustment document stated the entrustment requirements in the official format of secret investigation.

The more urgent the time was, the more calm the curse blade was, and the commission also clearly stated the remuneration, so as not to let the brothers and sisters do it for nothing.

The three of them are naturally willing to save the Huita, plus there is a good reward, plus the performance of the curse blade is very reassuring, and the morale is also good.

"Sukka bastard, it's the first time I've been on consecutive missions."

Rabbit mantle complained.

Mihaila stood up, rubbed her hair, and smiled softly:

"It's called a back-to-back mission."

Gwen began to regret why she had to practice swordsmanship with Meng Meng and Aya.
