In the weird second dimension of killing gods

Xiangzi was silent for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled up gently, like the quietly blooming moonlight, or like a flower that would fall at any time.

"Just like an idiot."

"Stupid, idiot?" Huo Xia was slightly stunned, and said angrily: "Anyway, you won't understand my feelings."

"Maybe."

Xiangzi did not comment or say anything more. He just turned around and walked towards the building under construction in the distance.

Seeing this, Huo Xia shook his head and followed.

In a secluded corner of the city, an abandoned building looms in the night.

The soft moonlight and the city lights complement each other, illuminating this forgotten space.

In this place of mottled light and shadow, Xiangzi exists like a silhouette, half of his body hidden in the heavy shadows, and the other half quietly blooming in the light.

Xiangzi held an old watch in his hand.

Wine stains on the watch.

She carefully handed the watch to Huo Xia.

"This is my father's personal belongings. Please check if there is anything unusual."

Xiangzi's voice was low and sincere.

Huo Xia took the watch and carefully observed every detail, from the surface to the back, from the hands to the movement.

Although Xiangzi did not explain in detail, Huoxia could still guess the other party's experience from the other party's clothes and the temperament revealed in his words.

The eldest daughter whose family has fallen on hard times.

If her last name is Toyokawa, she might be the eldest daughter of Toyokawa Bussan.

From what I heard from the second generation of Shuchiin, it seems that the current head of the Toyokawa family is divorced and her husband has left the house with nothing, but the reason is unclear.

Huo Xia didn't intend to delve into it further.

However, from Xiangzi's words, Huoxia still had a vague guess.

Maybe her father's luck has run out?

Things like wealth and power depend largely on luck.

When people are in power, everything in heaven and earth will help them.

When a person loses power, he will drown even if he drinks water.

Xiangzi's father was one of those unlucky guys whose fortunes suddenly disappeared, as if he was haunted by the god of poverty in Japanese legend. His wealth disappeared for various reasons, and he eventually fell into the abyss of poverty.

Xiangzi said frankly: "After I accidentally entered the [Sea of ​​Bitterness Game], I realized that there are really ghosts and monsters in this world. So I have some doubts that my father was haunted by unclean things."

Huo Xia nodded slightly and put down the watch.

"Do you see anything?"

Xiangzi was a little nervous.

Huo Xia opened his mouth and said, "I need to ask the little man in my head."

Xiangzi nodded slightly.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, has the owner of this watch been entangled by a poor man?" Huo Xia immediately asked in his mind.

Athena had somewhat given up on correcting Huoxia's address.

She said angrily: "No, this girl's father, his luck has been eaten up."

"Eat it?"

Huo Xia was a little surprised.

Noticing Huoxia's surprise, Xiangzi immediately became nervous and asked, "Did you find something?"

Huo Xia nodded slightly and told Athena her conclusion truthfully.

Xiangzi pondered for a moment, then said, "I have heard from some sources that there is indeed magic that can improve luck and even accumulate luck, but this is the first time I have heard of 'luck being eaten'."

"It should be the kind of situation that is common in comics." Huo Xia thought for a moment and said calmly, "Absorbing other people's luck to make yourself luckier."

Xiangzi nodded slightly and said, "Is it just something like this that we need to find out who did it?"

The two of them then exchanged a few words, mostly about "luck".

Whether in the East or the West, there are many spells about "luck", and there are many cases where some magicians have achieved great success overnight by relying on the luck accumulated over the years.

There have been many legends about asking gods for fortune since ancient times.

but……

Most luck doesn't mean much to a God Slayer unless it's god-level power.

Like the power to make oneself extremely lucky.

If such power really existed, it would be extremely dangerous.

After all, god-level luck is no longer a matter of personal honor or disgrace, but a supernatural force that will affect the fortune of the entire world, and may even affect the multiverse and the long river of time.

……

Walking in the museum, Huoxia and Xiangzi looked at the insect specimens on display and chatted about random things.

Neither of them was in high spirits.

After a while, Huo Xia suddenly asked, "Are you planning to stay with me forever?"

Xiangzi hummed and said seriously: "Maybe it's a bit nosy, but I always feel that it's not good to let you invite the dead to the world of the living, so I would like to ask you not to do that. If you must do it, please at least let me watch, just as a way of satisfying myself."

"You are so gentle."

Huo Xia said lightly.

"Gentle?!" Xiangzi was dissatisfied with this statement, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Huo Xia didn't explain much, and suddenly changed the subject, "Your fingers are very slender and dexterous, and it seems that you have learned piano. Do you have any obsession with music?"

In response to this sudden inquiry, Xiangzi frowned slightly, put his finger under his chin, and replied with some resistance: "I don't have any special obsession."

“What do you think about commercial music?”

"That's not bad."

“Any bands you like?”

"Morfonica!"

Huo Xia asked some more questions.

Although Xiangzi was somewhat resistant, he still answered truthfully.

After asking all the questions, Huo Xia thought for a while, took a long breath, and prepared to say something.

at this time.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

Aqua's childish but cold voice came into his ears, interrupting Huoxia's next words.

"It's okay, we just happened to be on a date for a while." Huo Xia replied with a smile.

Xiangzi's expression was cold as he denied it: "It's not a date."

Huoxia looked at Aqua and said, "Have you confirmed the place where the spirits are summoned?"

"Um……"

Aqua nodded and said, "I would like to add one more person, is that possible?"

"Who?"

"my little sister."

Huo Xia nodded slightly and did not object.

Xiangzi seemed to want to say something, to persuade Aqua to let it go, but he just asked coldly: "Whose soul do you want to summon?"

Aqua: "It's... Mother."

The boy lowered his head and answered.

After receiving such an answer, Xiangzi's words of comfort stopped in her throat. She couldn't persuade a child to give up seeing his mother again.

I hope there won't be any trouble.

Xiangzi could only hope like this.

The two followed Aqua into a small building, which looked like a small company. There was no one in the house, and a little girl helped them open the door.

"This is my sister Ruby."

Aqua introduced coolly.

Ruby opened her lively eyes and looked at Huoxia and Xiangzi, then tilted her head and asked, "You two are so good-looking, just like idols. Are you dating?"

"No."

Xiangzi immediately denied it.

Huo Xia said: "My career is my priority."

Hearing this, Ruby actually felt a little bit sorry.

Aqua coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then said, "Is it okay here?"

"Okay." Huo Xia nodded indifferently, "But I have to remind you that inviting a dead person to now is against the laws of nature. Even I am not sure what will happen if I do this."

"I'm ready," Aqua said.

Ruby also nodded: "As long as I can see my mother again, any price is acceptable."

Hearing this, Xiangzi frowned slightly and said seriously: "Please don't say things like 'what price'. I have no right to stop you, but..."

Her eyes became stern, and she looked at Huo Xia and said seriously: "Please don't let a child make such a serious mistake."

"Don't worry, I have no intention of shirking responsibility." Huo Xia agreed with Xiangzi's statement, "No matter what the consequences are, I will be responsible for the aftermath and will not let the two 'children' bear everything."

Xiangzi's face looked a little better, but only a little. She felt that disturbing the sleep of a dead person would cause big problems regardless of success or failure... If only she had not been there at the time, she could pretend not to know.

Aqua and Ruby are brother and sister.

When they were young, their mother died in an accident, and this incident became an indelible shadow in their hearts.

But people always grow.

Maybe one day they will let it all go and choose to move on...if they are just normal kids.

The brother and sister are not ordinary children, but reincarnations.

Fairies, gods, curses, accidents, spells...

No one knows the reason, but the two actually have memories of their past lives and became brother and sister after an accidental death, so they are more precocious than children and it is more difficult for them to forget the past.

At least that's what Aqua said.

After accidentally entering the Bitter Sea Game a year ago and coming into contact with the supernatural powers of this world, Aqua had an absurd idea. He wanted to see his mother, Hoshino Ai, again.

Use the power of "clairvoyance" to summon the soul of Hoshino Ai, who is in places like the underworld and hell, to the earth to see her dead mother again.

However, this is impossible.

Once a mortal's soul dissipates, it dies and goes to the world of the dead.

Unless it is the power of God, it is impossible to summon them from the world of the dead to the earth.

At least that's the rule of this world.

This is common sense in the world of No. 996.

After knowing this common sense, Aqua almost gave up.

but.

Huo Xia, whom he met by chance, was told that the other party could invite the dead to the present.
