Siren Blade

Chapter 27 Prologue
When I asked Jade Bird, her answer was: "Maybe the teacher has other ideas."

other ideas?In the dream, the siren blade was chopped on her arm, so she could still manage to restore it to its original shape; but if it was chopped on the forehead, it really couldn't be saved.

I can't understand what this other idea is.Recalling the exchanges I had with the interrogator, although the latter felt a little bit stern and selfless, he was definitely not ruthless enough to put the lives of students in danger for no reason.There must be something inside that I don't know about.

Could it be that the interrogator is the ghost... No, if he had malicious intentions towards me, I would have died long ago.

Qingniao looked at the time, "Xiaocao will arrive soon, let's go back to the Security Bureau in her car."

"Is it okay to leave her alone before? Didn't she get attacked by the old bones?" I asked.

"The old bone's most hated target is you. Xiaocao is more dangerous when we are together. So I gave her a secret amulet and asked her to find a place with many people to hide." She said, "And I was in the concentration All the attention will be given to you for treatment, if the old bone attacks and takes her as a hostage, I can't guarantee to stop it first."

A moment later, the young woman I had rescued before came to us in a white car.

She got out of the car and looked at me with a hesitant look on her face.

And Jade Bird walked up to her and introduced to me: "She is 'Xiaocao', and her name is Qiao Licao."

Qiao Gancao... This name seems to be used by Qingniao in the dream when she made up the name for the missing young girl. Because she couldn't make up the name for a while, she got away with the name of her colleague in desperation...

While slandering the blue bird, I observed Qiao Licorice.

This person is the psychoanalyst that Jade Bird mentioned before... I thought he would be a more "mysterious" person, but in reality, he looked like a fledgling professional woman.

Having said that, she should be older than Qingniao, why did Qingniao call her "Little Grass"... Forget it, it's better not to get into it.

While speculating, I held out my hand to her.

"Hello, I'm Li Duo." I said.

She shook my hand cautiously, "Hi, I'm Joe Licorice."

It seems that she is a little afraid of me, but that's right, this is the normal reaction of a normal person to a serial killer.

"Also, thank you..." She blushed and lowered her head abruptly at me, "Thank you for saving me! I would have died there without you, thank you!"

Hearing her thanks, I felt as if my heart was hit hard by something hot, and I haven't recovered from it for a long time.

"Well...you're welcome." After a long while, I managed to say this sentence.

"How?" Qingniao's face came close to my ear, whispering with a smile, "It's good to be a hero, right?"

She quickly stood back with a serious expression on her face.Qiao Licao's puzzled eyes wandered between her and me.

I involuntarily changed the subject, "I heard from Qingniao that you had something to do with me, so I helped her find me in the mountains. What's the matter?"

Qiao Gancao glanced at Qingniao again, shook her head and said, "This... let's talk about it later when I have a chance."

"Okay." I nodded, and said to Qingniao, "Is it okay to tell me her real name? Don't people in the Security Bureau generally use code names?"

"Xiaocao's code name registered with the Security Bureau is also Qiao Gancao." Qingniao said with a smile, "It's the same as using her real name in real life for her nickname on the Internet."

"It doesn't matter if you use your real name for the code name?" I asked, "Then why did you use the code name 'Blue Bird'?"

"Because I am a foreign officer who needs to directly contact and fight criminals, and I am different from an internal officer like Xiaocao in terms of positioning. After all, internal staff do not even need to register a code name. This is just a custom of the Security Bureau since ancient times. "Blue Bird explained, "In ancient times, warlocks were superstitious that their names contained power, which would be used by other warlocks to curse themselves, so they were quite taboo to tell others their real names."

"Superstition... In other words, it can't actually be used as a curse?"

"Yes." She said, "Actually, the name does contain power, but that has nothing to do with 'using it to cast a curse', and it does not prevent the warlock from saying his real name. Besides, if using the name can What about the situation where many people use the same name when someone else casts a curse? For example, you, the name Li Duo is used by about 600 people across the country, so there is no way it can be specific to you, Li Duo."

"So that's how it is...huh?" I wondered, "Why do you know that there are about [-] Li Duo in the whole country? Did you check it out?"

"Ah..." she froze, "Uh... this, it's not important!"

Seeing her embarrassed, I took the initiative to change the subject, "Why do even warlocks have such superstitions?"

She quickly picked up the topic.

"Because many warlocks are half full. In fact, not only ancient warlocks, many modern warlocks also have this kind of superstition. Because most of them have only learned one or two spells from such and other ways. If you have never touched After mastering spells, they may not believe in ghosts and gods at all. After learning spells, they will be suspicious of everything. But they can’t be blamed, this is a fairly normal way of thinking.” She said, “For example...you are in When reading time-travel novels, if the protagonist travels to a different world and still insists that there are no gods in this world, you may have this kind of thought, "Everyone else has time-traveled, why are you still so stupid?" But the relationship between time-travel and gods There is no causal relationship between time, right? For the ancients, the mobile phone is something that breaks through common sense like the magic weapon held by the immortal, but the mobile phone can never be the evidence to the ancients to prove the existence of the immortal in this world, unless it is trying to set up a scam .Having said that, it's still human to think that way."

While speaking, she opened the rear door of the car, Joe Licorice also entered the driver's seat, and I entered through the door on the other side of the rear row.The car started moving.

"So..." I asked, "are there gods and immortals in this world?"

Qingniao said naturally: "Yes."

Then you just said it as if gods and immortals do not exist.

"Leaving aside the gods, the term immortal corresponds to 'big warlock' in the world of warlocks, which is the top warlock in the warlock group." She thought for a while, "Listen to others talking about my magician." The teacher fought against the great magician eight years ago...it seems to be a magician named Baiju."

I don't know who Baiju is, but I have heard the term "Spiritualist".

I used to fight other warlocks with the undead body supported by "it", and some people said that my undead body is like a necromancer.The old bone said the same thing before, and the brain and heart can be broken down as if nothing happened-that was originally the domain of the apparition.

I asked Qingniao about the apparition warlock, and she said with an all-knowing attitude as always: "The apparition warlock is a great warlock. Or should I put it this way, there are multiple ways to become a great warlock, and each of them is extremely difficult. One is "apparition". Those who become great magicians in this way are apparition warlocks. The so-called apparition, simply put, is to become able to continue life in the form of a spirit. You should know where the difficulty lies. ?”

This is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

Although the spirit body is the source of power for a warlock, it is a very fragile thing, so it needs physical protection.

And the spirit body without the physical body is like water without the container, it will collapse in an instant.

Although it is not without spells such as the soul out of body technique, as far as I know, it is by deceiving the spirit body and making the spirit body think that it is still in the body, so that it can temporarily maintain its form in the outside world, and that is only is temporarily.

And according to my experience, if the warlock's physical body is destroyed during this period, the spirit body left outside will also be decomposed, so it is still under the cover of the physical body.

"That's right, the fragility of the spirit body is quite fatal, this is one of the difficulties leading to the manifestation of the spirit." Qingniao nodded, "But there is another more difficult level, that is... for the personality formed the day after tomorrow. It is said that the physical body is more like the real body than the spiritual body."

This sentence is beyond my expectation.In the normal concept of the soul, the body will decay and die, and the soul will continue to exist on behalf of the person after the body decays and dies, so isn't the soul the body?

"Memory, desire, instinct... many objective elements of personality are rooted in the human body and are a series of electrochemical reactions that can be observed from the material level." She, a sorcerer, actually talked about science to me, "Personality information is stored on physical media. If you want to transfer it to the spirit body... this process will probably become as difficult as transferring the files in the computer to the mobile hard disk."

"Is it difficult? Listening to your analogy, it seems very simple." While asking the question, I also thought that if the physical body has taken care of everything, wouldn't the existence of the spirit body seem unnecessary.

"If you continue with the computer analogy, how would you transfer the files to the mobile hard drive?"

"Connect the mobile hard disk first, then copy and paste the files... No, cut and paste them." At this point, I suddenly realized where the difficulty lies, "Wait, what you just said is the real transfer... ..."

"That's right... According to the computer's operating logic, the only difference between copy and paste and cut and paste is that the latter will delete the original file, and even if the file on the mobile hard disk looks exactly the same as the original file, it will not be copied. After all, they are two files." She said, "The same is true for personality, which is actually bound to our biological brain. Even the so-called out-of-body technique is nothing more than personality bound to our biological brain. Relying on the spiritual connection, you can remotely control your own spirit body; and even those ghosts, who seem to be able to speak human words as they were in life, are nothing more than echoes in life, and they are no longer themselves."

She added, "Human spirits that exist alone are defined in the common sense of warlocks as 'spirits that exist as the dead', while apparitions are 'spirits that exist as the living'. For them, Becoming a spirit body is not the end of life, but a new beginning of life. And because they are free from the shackles of the flesh, they will not die even if the flesh is crushed, and at the same time, they will not be troubled by the birth, old age, sickness and death of the flesh. This is the ideal of many warlocks The ultimate pursuit, and the apparition warlock is known as the great magician just because he can reach this field."

"According to this theory..." I thought for a while, and then asked, "Could it be that I have been replaced many times?"

If my personality is also rooted in the biological brain, then the personality must have been replaced in the past when the brain tissue was blown up and regrowth.It's a chilling conclusion, but one that doesn't feel real to me just yet.

She was also silent for a while, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"I've never felt like I've been replaced," I said.

"If you didn't feel that you were replaced during the demon period, then you really haven't been replaced." She said, "With your awareness at that time, it is impossible to misjudge your own life and death."

"That is to say...my personality is in the spirit body?"

"That's not reasonable..." She shook her head, "The combination of personality and spirit body means that you can use 100% of the power of the spirit body, but now you can manipulate the huge spirituality without using the siren blade ?"

Of course it can't be done, otherwise I wouldn't have been hurt to the point where even my heart was broken last time.

Unsolved Mysteries - This is the only platitude to describe my situation right now.

But in the hidden world, there are too many unsolved mysteries, things that cannot be described by common sense...even things that cannot be described by logic, and it is not unheard of for me in the past five years.

Under the premise that there is no further condition, I can only shelve this question first.

At night, we returned to the Liucheng Security Bureau, and then entered the lobby on the first floor.

"Let's go and give you a comprehensive physical examination first. You suspended animation once before. I don't know if there is any root cause..." Qingniao walked in front to lead me, while Qiao Gancao left first.

I followed the blue bird to go deep.

Just then, an accident happened.

Something suddenly pressed against my back, judging from the tactile sensation, it was a thin and hard palm.And at the same time, a rather definite malice rose from behind me.I wanted to turn back immediately, but my body couldn't move as if it was locked.

It was as if a large amount of spider silk spread all over his body from the inside in a blink of an eye. Not only could he not move, but he also felt a strong sense of being manipulated.

The only thing that can barely move is the fingers, but this is enough.

I immediately summoned the Siren Blade, and with great difficulty gathered the five fingers of my right hand to hold it.

In an instant, a sense of strength like galloping horses in the veins filled the whole body, clearing away all obstacles.Almost at the same time, I waved the Siren Blade without hesitation and slashed towards my rear.

Standing behind me was an old man who looked familiar. He was holding a metal suitcase in his right hand, and he was pressing on me with his left hand.

Just as I broke free from the shackles and fought back, his face changed drastically, and he reflexively raised the box in his right hand as a shield to block; while his left hand condensed spirituality to form a blue short knife.

Judging from his actions, he is someone who has experience in combat.

However, this posture of defense and counterattack has no effect in front of me. The gap in strength has become so great that even professional skills cannot make up for it.With just one blow, his posture fell apart under the impact of the huge force, and the sturdy suitcase with a metal shell was smashed to pieces by the ax like paper paste, and the contents exploded.
One of the contents grabbed all my attention in the first place.

It was a transparent glass box filled with a pale yellow liquid, and a pale severed hand was soaked in the liquid.

The moment I saw this item, I stretched out my hand to the glass case without hesitation.

But just when I was about to touch the glass box, another strange hand, neither me nor the old man, grabbed the glass box.
