Chapter 22 Irritability
"No. 12!"

As if suddenly stepping out of the shadow of the corner of the wall, and then turned into a three-dimensional one, the boy in school uniform held a sharp dagger in his backhand, and snapped a wobbly "zombie" passing in front of him. ", and just stabbed through the neck with a knife.

The black dagger did not reflect any light under the light, but a line of subtle inscriptions on the edge of the dagger flashed a faint golden light the moment the dagger pierced through the neck of the twisted human figure.So the evil spirit tilted its body silently, and a faint flame ignited all over its body, which turned into a pool of ashes in less than two seconds.

Mu Xiu let out a long breath, and noticed that 5 minutes had passed, and his task was still not completed, which meant that there were other evil spirits in this abandoned building.He silently shifted his gaze to the stairwell not far away leading to the next floor. The darkness was like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting to be swallowed by it.

Only the last floor and the roof are left, so there should be no problem.

He thought so, then flicked the sharp dagger in his hand, and his figure disappeared into the shadow behind him again, almost blending into the darkness.Along the way, relying on his breath-shielding skills, he was not discovered by any type D evil spirits, and he assassinated all the way neatly, just like the most superb assassin, he was simply chopping melons and vegetables.

Mu Xiu suddenly wanted to take the assassin route, and even just subconsciously inquired about the skills and equipment of various stealth series, fortunately, he calculated the required reward points and side plots, and considering his current He rationally chose to let go of the resources invested in the preliminary formwork.

He found that there are many things that he needs to continue to experience personally before he can think more carefully——

For example, the exorcism dagger in his hand has already spent [-] reward points in exchange.In this way, even if the task was completed perfectly this time, he actually didn't earn any reward points at all, it was just barely equal to the original one.

But there is no way around this, because he has already experimented with the first evil spirit he encountered before, that is, if there is no suitable method or weapon, his electromagnetic manipulation ability can only barely eliminate a Type D evil spirit. Spirit, then it will fall into a state of insufficient power, and it may take a long time to recover, but the task has a time limit.

As for the armed domineering, he has only just finished mastering it. The C-level armed domineering cannot be released and transformed into attack power. As for entwining the weapon to enhance the attack power, it is even more unnecessary to think about it. Only when he thoroughly develops this ability and breaks through to a higher level can it be completed.

In other words, Mu Xiu currently does not have any effective means to deal with spiritual enemies, and if he completely relies on exchanging consumables to get through the difficulties, he also knows that he will inevitably become dependent, which will have a great impact on his future growth and development. Willpower is not a good thing... So after hesitating for a while, he finally chose to exchange for such an exorcism dagger that can effectively kill spirit enemies.

Even on the surface, it would be better to simply exchange some consumables and smash them, at least to recover the loss.

But in fact, he knew that this kind of real combat experience and experience was necessary for him.

Walking quickly through the dark stairs, Mu Xiu didn't see any evil spirits wandering this time, but the rancid smell in the air seemed to be a little stronger and disgusting.After searching all the way, he already knew that it was a dilapidated and abandoned hospital building, because he had seen the ruins of the ward before, he saw the operating room that was not cleaned up because he fled in a hurry, and he even saw the hospital soaked in chemicals. Weird human tissue...

Those strange smells come from the broken bottles and jars. Some of them can be seen as human brains, and some can be seen as withered and shrunken human tissues, but some things are hard to associate with. Which part of the human body is connected, I don't know what kind of limb tissue it is.

——This hospital building probably looked weird before it was abandoned, but after all, it was a thing of the past, and Mu Xiu didn't have any thoughts to pursue it.

He just frowned and looked at the floor space on the sixth floor, surrounded by groggy darkness, and he couldn't even hear the footsteps walking in the corridor, as if there were no wandering evil spirits on this floor.But because the task has not been completed, he doesn't believe in such a thing too much.And there is a way that he removes the effect of the breath masking skill, maybe the evil spirits who smell the breath of strangers will swarm over.

But the boy had never been sure whether he could fight more than one evil spirit at the same time, so he didn't want to take risks.But now it's the last floor, and the roof is on the top. Judging from the density of evil spirits on the five floors below, it doesn't seem too difficult? !
"Well--!!"

However, at this moment, he looked at the dagger in his hand, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that the abandoned hospital building at night looked familiar.

Before Mu Xiu searched from his memory, which horror game scene he saw from, or the sense of sight obtained from the image of the other world he saw when he was "onset" before, he was already like As if some memory was touched, his eyes were closed, and he stood there in a trance.

The fragments that flashed in front of my eyes vaguely and vaguely were strange and familiar, as if they were scenes that I had experienced or were experiencing, but it seemed that there was no sense of reality at all, a completely strange feeling.This is not my kind of pathological hallucination, or it should be said that Mu Xiu is not sure whether he has hallucinations now, because... this feeling is completely different from the feeling of "onset" before.

He subconsciously pressed his chest, feeling an extremely strong uneasiness, an extremely strong loneliness.

He couldn't help tearing out the restlessness and anxiety in his chest, but he didn't feel the slightest pain and sadness.

However, this feeling came and went quickly, as if it was a hallucination or illusion, and the emotional fluctuations quickly calmed down.But Mu Xiu suddenly felt a sudden exhaustion, and he seemed to have difficulty breathing.

What is there, I have forgotten by myself.

His breathing became a little heavy, as if he lost excessive mental and physical strength in an instant and inexplicably.He waved his arms indiscriminately, trying hard to recall his chaotic memories at the moment, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten, which made Mu Xiu suddenly feel a burst of extreme irritability for no reason.

But when he almost violently ordered himself to calm down and returned to a more sober state, he found that the state of his breath restraint had been broken, and there were dense swarms of hideous shadows approaching him slowly and unsteadily. .

Mu Xiu wiped his nose vigorously, and clenched the black dagger in his hand.

……

……

10 minutes later.

On the roof of the abandoned building, the gently closed door was pushed open from the inside with a creak.

Near midnight, the fluttering snowflakes had already stopped, but the earth had turned into a piece of snow, and the brightly lit city was decorated with charming snow scenes, standing against the background of the endless dark blue night sky .

The cold waning moon was shining, wearing a black sailor suit, only wearing a down coat outside, and carrying a long bag, the black and straight girl walked out of the dark space inside the building calmly. , came to the empty rooftop.What was reflected in the girl's flawless purple eyes like black pearls were a few shallow pools of ashes not far away that were almost covered by snow.

She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had expected it a long time ago, but she didn't relax her vigilance immediately. Instead, she continued to carefully search the entire roof area at the end, not even letting go of the water storage tank, and then Back before the iron gate.

The girl leaned down slightly and looked at the iron door that had been violently destroyed by someone. It was obviously the latch that was completely locked from the inside, but now it was broken open from the inside by someone in the same way.She doesn't know any detective or tracking skills, but it doesn't require any skills.

After all, anyone is fine, as long as they are not blind, they can see the clear fingerprints on the door latch and the clear shoe prints deeply sunken.You can understand how violently this iron door was almost sealed...

It is as violent as all the kicked open and sealed doors on the six floors below, the only difference is that the iron gate on the roof seems to have received additional special treatment beyond a simple and rough kick.

"Fingerprints, traces of dust, and rust are very clear... and it has only been 10 minutes since the occurrence of this disaster source was detected, so who solved the problem here?!"

Isayama Koizumi let out a long breath, and a white mist condensed in the cold air.

And at this time her cell phone rang.

"Hello?...Well, it's been resolved....No, I didn't do it. Although it's only a type D supernatural disaster source, but——it was already cleaned up when I arrived...Yes Yes, I don't know who it is, but the movements are very agile... Well, okay, I'll go back right away."

As the agent and main combat force of the Ministry of the Environment, the Natural Environment Bureau, and the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasure Office, Isayama Koizumi, who was on duty tonight, put away his cell phone and sighed softly.As a semi-official high-level spiritual power user, people like them are always open all year round. For example, it is Christmas Eve tonight, and she has not been able to take a good vacation.

Moreover, the girl who was supposed to enjoy the heating quietly in the office, drinking hot coffee and looking at the information, had to leave the warm office immediately after detecting the source of the disaster. He rushed to the scene of the crime alone and quickly to prevent the situation from escalating into an accident involving ordinary people.

—— Of course, type D evil spirits don’t need the strongest combat power under the Ministry of Environment’s jurisdiction like her. Even for ordinary type C evil spirits, the countermeasure room only needs to deploy one or two ordinary combat forces to complete the perfect retreat. Work.

But the sources of disasters are different. Generally speaking, a disaster source gathers at least dozens of evil spirits of the corresponding level, and occasionally one or several evil spirits of a higher level can be refreshed.In addition, she was on duty tonight, so after thinking about it, she felt that a Type D supernatural disaster source was really not worth alarming the comrades who were still resting, so Isayama Huangquan simply went out on his own.

But now, it seems that it doesn't matter even if she doesn't see it. A wild exorcist has already passed by and killed this nest of evil spirits? !

Just looking at the clear fingerprints left on the door latch, the black-haired girl's mouth twitched slightly.

If it is really the same as the facts deduced on the surface, then she is not quite sure which is the monster. Can ordinary humans have such a terrifying grip? !
Spiritual power users are just people with talents that ordinary people do not have, but in the end they are still human beings, at most they can temporarily stimulate the body's ability through certain secret techniques or spiritual power.In essence, they are still unable to lift heavy objects that exceed their own body weight, can easily penetrate the body by bullets of iron elements, and will die in less than 5 minutes without a certain gas supply... a weak human being.

But this kind of strange force that can pinch the iron door bolt with bare hands is a bit noticeable.

……

……

He didn't expect that after he left, another girl would arrive at the scene, and through the first-hand information, she would notice something abnormal about her.

But Mu Xiu didn't care at all, he just walked on the snowy streets on Christmas Eve with a tired face, and he also hid the black dagger on his body properly.He doesn't have the energy to think about too many other things now, but he just wants to go back to his home immediately and have a good sleep.

His stamina is still abundant, and he can easily knock down a dozen or so punks—that's what he did just 2 minutes ago.

However, what Mu Xiu really consumed was inexplicable effort.

He couldn't explain why he was so tired and empty, he didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to have a good sleep.

However, he was not familiar with the road, so he managed to find the way back more than half an hour after Christmas.
