Tokyo underground city

Chapter 69 Soul

Lin Huai'en had a good sleep.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on his body, and the thigh on which his head rested exuded the faint fragrance of a girl. It was a wonderful experience he had never felt before.

The sweet and soft touch sunk in just right, surrounding his ears and cheeks, and from the other side of his cheeks, something fluffy hung down and swept over his ears and cheeks.

Is she a senior...

Lin Huaien closed his eyes and recalled subconsciously.

"No...I have never rested my head on my senior's lap pillow——"

"It would be better to say that because of the anemia, the senior sister often puts her head on my knee pillow and asks me to rub her temples!"

Lin Huai'en suddenly turned over and subconsciously touched his waist, but missed it.

"Ah!" Startled by Lin Huai'en's actions, the chestnut-haired woman gently covered her mouth: "It turns out you have woken up. I thought you were going to sleep for a while longer."

"Who are you? Where am I? Where are my equipment and weapons?"

Lin Huai'en quickly looked around. The location he was currently in seemed to be in the center of a certain grassland, with endless lawns covering every piece of land here.

And he and the chestnut-haired woman were on a small mound rising in the center of the lawn.

"Please don't worry, you are not in the real world now." The chestnut-haired woman changed her sitting position and sat up holding on to the lawn.

Only then did Lin Huaien notice that the other party's height seemed to be almost close to Sen Yan.

But the woman's movements are very gentle and natural. She is about 20 years old. She is wearing a light green dress and a white apron. She looks like a Western European country girl.

Lin Huai'en thought about it and finally knew how to describe the temperament of the other party——

shepherdess.

The woman exudes a shepherdess-like temperament that comes out of mythology.

Pure, innocent, gentle, maternal, divine.

It's hard to imagine that these conflicting temperaments could blend so beautifully in one person.

"...Who are you and why am I here."

Lin Huai'en was a little confused when he heard the girl say that he was not in the real world, but he still took a step back.

The girl used her hands that rolled up her sleeves, gently pulled the hem of her skirt, and bowed her knees in a ladylike salute:

"I'm sorry for being late in introducing myself."

"My name is Essadova Capel."

"Salt 10 Shelter, Cabin 101, Room 3, the only daughter of the Capel family."

"When I was 19 years old, I copied a part of my soul, put it in the Holy Spirit Crystal, and gave it to my best friend, Diana Taven, together with a gold bracelet."

"In the long years, my master and my body have died one after another. Only my phantom has become more and more real in the long years, and finally gained consciousness."

“It’s also hard for me to say whether I am still the Ashadova Capel in the real world—the Ashadova Bryan who later married Jon Bryan. "

"But no matter how long the years have passed, my understanding of myself is still based on the original identity."

"So, many years after the death of Essadova Blaine, as the only phantom of Essadova Blaine left in this world, I still implore you, please continue to call me Essadova Cape. you."

Looking at the chestnut-haired girl in front of him who lowered his head to salute him, Lin Huai'en was speechless for a long time, and finally found a relatively accurate statement from his own knowledge system:

"Are you... the... weapon spirit of the bracelet?!"

Elsadova Capel raised her head, glanced at Lin Wynn, straightened up helplessly, and sighed: "If you prefer that statement... that's right."

Lin Huai'en felt that the girl in front of him suddenly had an eccentric temperament, which caught him off guard.

But facing the chestnut-haired girl in front of him who looked like a manor fairy, he thought for a while and nodded:

"Okay...Miss Capel, so why do I appear here? Is this the world in the bracelet?"

"That's right and that's wrong."

Elsadova put her hands behind her back, like a little duck, pacing lightly, circling Lin Huaien: "This is my world, I am not a bracelet. If you find a better way later, put me down." If you go to other places, I can also bring you here.”

"A bracelet is just a bracelet, my body is those black crystals." Elsadova said lightly.

"...Are you not contaminated?" Lin Huai'en looked at Elsadova and asked after a brief silence.

"Yeah, I got it." But what he didn't expect was that Miss Qi Ling actually nodded: "I have learned to control the power of curses. If an annoying person puts it on me, I can give him a curse. , reducing all the resistance in his body to zero."

Uh... can this also be called pollution?

Elsadova seemed to notice Lin Huaien's confusion, and shook her body proudly: "Don't underestimate me, a tool spirit like me that has only awakened to self-awareness after more than a thousand years - you want to affect my mind. , the power of the curse permeating the upper space is not enough."

"After all, no matter what, I am also a weapon spirit specializing in protection and resistance."

As Elsadova said, she opened her hand to Lin Huaien. Lin Huaien saw that in the palm of the weapon spirit, two kinds of colorful light were controlled - the one in the left hand was a normal colored light, while in the right hand was something like A black light like black glass.

"...So, do you recognize me and give me your protection?"

Lin Huai'en recalled the name of the skill on the bracelet, "Asadova's Gaze." He did not expect that there was actually a young lady watching him in the bracelet.

And Elsadova nodded simply: "Yes, this is your reward."

She continued: "You freed my master Diana Taven from that painful body, so I recognize your actions and give you my blessing."

Asadova said, pointing to the sky.

Only then did Lin Huai'en notice that there were more than twenty black light balls floating directly above the fantasy grassland.

He asked in surprise: "What are these?"

"A miserable soul contaminated by the power of the curse."

Elsadova sighed and said: "Those Twolegs, Fire Raiders and Unenviable Corpses that you killed - although their official names are 'Cursed Salt Victims', to be honest, I think you Those names have better taste."

"No, that's just your illusion. I think these names suck."

Lin Huai'en blushed when he heard that his bad name was actually heard by others, and he felt like he was being humiliated.

But he still had some doubts: "Why do the souls of the salted undead I killed appear here? Won't they dissipate on their own?"

Lin Huai'en clearly remembered that the mummy swordsman said that souls in the sense of the ground world did not exist, so as an atheist, he subconsciously did not mention heaven and hell.

On this point, Elsadova obviously agreed with him.

The girl glanced at the black ball of light in the sky with a slightly sad expression: "Normally speaking, people cannot be resurrected after death. The soul in our body will naturally dissipate with the passage of time after the body dies..."

"But black salt changes everything."

"The powerful curse in the black salt has trapped the souls of all the residents in the Salt 10 shelter. Therefore, even if you destroy their bodies, their souls will still remain in this world and bear the curse forever. The curse of immortality.”

"What's even more frightening is that their souls are awake, but only their bodies and shells have lost control of their bodies."

Elsadova waved gently, and a black ball of light in the sky carefully avoided Lin Huaien and fell into the arms of the weapon spirit: "This is my former master, Diana Taven, a For more than a thousand years, I have been with her and spent these extremely long years."

"It's because of me that her soul didn't fall into madness."

"And because of her, I was able to gain true sanity over the long years."

"True consciousness..." Lin Huai'en pondered this statement silently: "So, are you actually a kind of AI?"

After he asked subconsciously, he realized something was wrong and quickly explained: "The so-called AI is——"

"Are you talking about the paper man?" However, what stunned Lin Huai'en was that Elsadova said a word that she should not be able to understand: "You can think of it this way, I am the paper man who has gained wisdom. "

"Why...do you know the word Paper Man?!"

The surprise in Lin Huaien's heart seemed to explode.

But Elsadova just spread her hands: "Do you think, why can you understand the language he speaks in your first conversation with the mummy swordsman?"

Lin Huai'en suddenly woke up: "Cursed body?!"

Elsadova nodded, "I don't know what the paper people I'm talking about are translated into in your cognitive system, but what I mean here are the photographic crystals and the fictional characters that appear in comics. "

"...That's enough. What we mean here is similar." Lin Huai'en recovered from the shock, nodded, and accepted the setting.

"So, you dragged me to this world just to talk about this?"

However, Elsadova shook her head, "The main reason why you woke up in this world is because of two--"

"First, your body is extremely close to death, so your soul, like other victims of cursed salt, is kept by me."

"Normally, after your soul leaves the body, the soul amulet on your body will be activated to absorb your consciousness, and then when others find your body or soul amulet, they will resurrect you."

"But I intercepted your soul midway and am trying to figure out how to repair your body - although treatment is not my strong point, it is not difficult to repair your body to the point where you can barely wake up again."

As she spoke, Elsadova shook her head and said, "I don't know what method you used to make your body so broken. I helped you reconnect the tendons on your feet. Other injuries are just like that." You have to figure it out yourself.”

"……Thanks."

After a long silence, Lin Huai'en finally confirmed the good intentions that the spirit spirit had towards him.

"Thank you, but no need." However, the weapon spirit Aisadova shook her head: "I still need to rely on you to deal with the monsters hidden deep in the Salt 10 shelter and release the soul of my master and body."

"So, it's just using each other."

"Common interests are the relationship you feel most at ease with, aren't they?"

Elsadova cunningly made a civilized "money" gesture like Lin Huai'en.

Because of the cursed body, Lin Huai'en understood it at a glance.

"Is there another reason?" Lin Huai'en smiled awkwardly. In fact, he wanted to argue that he was not really interested in interests first, but after thinking about it, he decided not to explain.

"If there is another reason..." Elsadova hesitated, put away the smile on her face, and looked at him seriously: "There is another reason, that is, I want to confirm with you in person-"

"The reason why you want to kill An Ruson."
