It was already night, and there was a hint of chill in the air. A long-haired man wearing a black leather jacket pressed his peaked cap and walked from the warm house. When he came into contact with the cold air, he couldn't help but shiver. I couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, it's already April, why is it still so cold!"
It's obviously quite warm during the day, even a little hot, so why is it so cold at night?
The long-haired man felt that the weather in Tokyo recently was too abnormal.
Suddenly, the long-haired man felt a chill on his neck. He subconsciously reached out to touch his neck, and then accidentally knocked his head off.
The head fell to the ground, and there was even a trace of confusion in the eyes of the long-haired man. He was confused as to why the weather suddenly turned cold, confused as to why his neck suddenly felt cold, confused as to why he seemed to be unable to feel his body...
The head of the person with a confused expression rolled towards a figure that suddenly appeared not far away.
After kicking the head away, Esdeath took a few steps forward and gently patted the shoulder of the headless body as he approached it.
"Please give way, you are blocking the door."
The headless body fell down upon hearing the sound. The severed head was covered with a layer of frost, sealing the fracture. This was also the reason why there was no hot blood splattering on the body even though the head was severed.
Slowly walked into the room where the long-haired man came out, and soon, a man's voice came from the room.
"Who are you and what are you doing here..."
The man's voice stopped suddenly, and Junichiro Izumida, who was waiting outside the house, knew very well what happened to him even if he didn't see it with his own eyes - Esdeath never stayed when he was doing "work". Got through the living mouth.
"Advisor Esdeath... she seems to be in a very high mood today!"
Junichiro Izumida, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the car, said softly.
This wasn't the first time he had experienced something like this, but it was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Beside him, Sougo Okita, who was leaning on the passenger seat, chuckled and said, "When you can kill someone, your Queen's interest is always particularly high."
Regarding Ryoko Yakushiji, there was a bit of ridicule when he called her "Her Majesty the Queen", but when he called Esdeath "Your Majesty the Queen", even if he deliberately looked casual, he couldn't hide it. Okita Sougo's fear of Esdeath.
Although Okita Sougo is also a jerk and has killed many gangsters with his own hands, he is not a cruel and murderous person.
And Esdeath... this woman, her passion for killing and fighting is engraved in her bones, and she is an out-and-out madman who shakes her S.
Compared with Esdeath, Okita Sougo felt that he was just a little shady at best.
"Okita..."
Ryoko Yakushiji, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter with Her Majesty the Queen?"
Okita Sougo asked.
"Her Majesty the Queen" and "Her Majesty the Queen", Okita Sougo could call them smoothly, and he didn't feel it was against the rules.
"Is Esdeath any different from before recently?"
Yakushiji Ryoko lowered the window to let in some of the cold air outside the car.
The air was not that cold originally. It was after Esdeath went out that the temperature here suddenly dropped a lot.
She also had a vague chill in her body before, but it was definitely not as strong as it is now.
"No, if anything, it means that the Queen has become more and more unfathomable!"
Okita Sougo thought for a while and said.
In the past, he could still feel the gap between himself and Esdeath slightly, but now, this feeling is becoming more and more blurred. In other words, now he can no longer even see the full extent of Esdeath's strength. This is obviously It is Esdeath who has gone further and further on the road to being a great swordsman. It seems that he has to work harder and can no longer rely on his talent to sleep in every day.
"Indeed." Yakushiji Ryoko nodded lightly, "Although Esdeath used to give people a strong impression, after the last battle at 'Shuiyue Palace', she gave people more and more... It’s becoming more and more unfathomable.”
"Counsellor, is it really okay to let Advisor Esdeath kill these prisoners?"
Junichiro Izumida, the only normal person among the three, expressed his concerns.
This time they came because they received a tip that someone was making counterfeit banknotes here. The nature of the counterfeit banknote case was of course very bad, and the social impact it would cause in the future would be higher than ordinary murder cases. However, this was not a violent crime after all, which made Esther Is it really okay for Si to come forward?
Even the "real martial arts team" that truly has law enforcement powers can only be deployed when facing martial artists and criminals with thermal weapons, not to mention that Esdeath is not a real police officer.
"No problem." Yakushiji Ryoko said without thinking, "Just throw a pistol at the scene afterwards."
If the other party has a handgun, then he is not an ordinary criminal, and law enforcement can be "a little" tougher.
Hearing what Ryoko Yakushiji said, Junichiro Izumida sighed inwardly, but he could only nod: "Yes, counselor."
"Remember to put the gun into their hands. It's best if you control their hands and fire a few more shots to leave some smoke reaction. This will make the report easier to write."
Ryoko Yakushiji continued to teach Junichiro Izumida how to do things.
"……yes."
Junichiro Izumida felt that something would happen to him sooner or later if he continued like this, but he had already boarded the Queen's pirate ship... ah no, it was a dragon boat. It was already impossible for him to leave.
Just when Yakushiji Ryoko was teaching Izumida Junichiro how to set up the scene, two gunshots rang out in the room. None of the three people showed nervous and fearful expressions, but instead felt happy.
"Very good, it saves us the trouble of setting up the scene."
Yakushiji Ryoko smiled.
"yes……"
Junichiro Izumida was even more relieved. It would be best if he could do less things that violated police regulations. He was originally a very honest and responsible person, but he didn't know how he got to where he is today...
Inside the room, a woman dressed in black held a pistol in both hands.
Smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, and the woman in black's hand holding the gun couldn't help but tremble.
Trembling not because she was panicking because she killed someone, but because...
Looking at the two bullets falling on the ground, the woman in black couldn't help shouting: "What kind of monster are you!"
Just now, she fired two shots at Esdeath who suddenly broke in and killed one person. As a result, the two shots did not miss Esdeath, but after hitting Esdeath, they seemed to be hit by a layer of The invisible armor blocked it and not only failed to hurt Esdeath, it even slipped from her chest without leaving any traces on her clothes.
Dusting his chest, Esdeath smiled and said: "I remember that a pistol of your type has six bullets? There are four bullets left, why not shoot them together!"
"Ahhhhh!"
The woman in black, who had never encountered such a situation before, fell into madness. She pulled the trigger frantically, and four bullets sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun. Although she was using a small pistol and holding the gun with both hands, the recoil also made her use both hands. tingling.
After entering the door, he didn't ask any questions and just drew his sword to kill. Although this woman was wearing a police uniform, it was obvious that she was here to kill people. She had no way to surrender even if she wanted to.
The woman in black didn't know if these four bullets could kill Esdeath, or even if they couldn't hurt Esdeath, but this was already the most powerful weapon at her hand, and she could only rely on this pistol to survive. Fight.
Four bullets were fired at Esdeath, who had a smile on his face.
Swordsman-level masters already have the ability to react faster than bullets. Although the speed is not as fast as bullets, it is very easy to dodge bullets fired in a straight line. Even swordsmen can predict in advance by observing the direction of the muzzle after training. Judging the trajectory of the bullet to avoid the bullet, let alone the great swordsman, the pistol is just like a toy to the great swordsman, and it is still a toy with little lethality.
Facing the four flying bullets, Esdeath still did not dodge, but this time she did not intend to use her body to catch them.
She had tried this before, and it turned out that bullets of this level could not break through her protective aura. Now she wanted to try something else.
The speed of the bullet suddenly slowed down when it was one meter closer to Esdeath. Esdeath's body became hazy, as if covered with a layer of fog. After the bullet penetrated the fog, it was immediately entangled in countless threads. , the speed became slower and slower, and the force became weaker and weaker. After only half a meter of penetration into the inexplicable layer of fog, the four bullets consumed all their power and fell to the ground with a "patter".
"Monster! Monster! There is a monster!"
The woman in black screamed, she wanted to run, no matter whether she could escape or not, her biological instinct drove her to escape quickly, but she found that she had lost control of her body at some point. The body seemed to be stuck to a huge and strong spider web, and the hands and feet were not at all in control. How could one escape?
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to test my new abilities. In return, I will make your death not so bloody!"
Walking up to the woman in black who couldn't move, Esdeath showed a cruel smile and put his hand on the woman in black's head.
Strong cold air surged out from Esdeath's palm. In an instant, the woman in black was covered with a thick layer of frost. When Esdeath took her hand back, the woman in black had turned into a lifelike tower. An ice sculpture, the expression covered in fear was forever frozen on her face.
Without taking a second look at his masterpiece, Esdeath kicked the ice sculpture, shattering its upper body.
There was no blood and flesh flying everywhere, only countless ice shards flying, Esdeath did what he said!
"Very good, it seems like the whole person is indeed frozen."
Esdeath nodded with satisfaction.
And when Esdeath was complacent, a faint voice sounded from behind Esdeath.
"Is this what Teacher Esdeath has achieved these days? It is indeed very powerful. However, it seems that Teacher Esdeath, you have not practiced the "Celestial Silkworm Magic"!"
Yan Kai appeared behind Esdeath at some point, he leaned against the wall and said calmly.
Esdeath didn't panic at all, she smiled slightly and said: "No matter what kind of power enters my body, it should surrender to me. I don't need other methods to train it. I only like to use my own methods!"
"Okay, let's do it." Yan Kai nodded, "I don't like to dictate to others. Since Teacher Esdeath has found a solution himself, and there doesn't seem to be any danger of going crazy, then I can rest assured. "
After speaking, he straightened up from the wall.
Esdeath looked at Yan Kai curiously: "You just saw me killing someone, why didn't you stop me?"
She knew that Yan Kai was very taboo about martial artists using force against ordinary people.
"Police enforcement has nothing to do with me."
Yan Kai shook his head and said.
If Esdeath randomly breaks into a house and kills people at will, then Yan Kai will of course stop Esdeath. No, he will directly kill Esdeath, but now Esdeath is breaking into a gangster's den." "Enforce justice", then Yan Kai has no control over how Esdeath does it and to what extent it is done.
"I thought you would think these people are worthy of death."
Esdeath smiled.
"Doesn't sin lead to death..."
Yan Kai walked to a table with a lot of half-finished counterfeit banknotes on it. He wrapped his hand in a handkerchief and picked up one, looked at it carefully, shook it to hear the sound, and then said with a smile: "This is really bad craftsmanship! "
"so what?"
Esdeath asked.
"Such counterfeit banknotes will seem weird to anyone with a more discerning mind. If used at cashiers and vending machines, they will be recognized immediately. So where do you think this kind of counterfeit banknotes will be used? ?”
Yan Kai asked rhetorically.
Esdeath shook her head: "I can't tell."
She rarely uses money herself, so how can she know where this third-rate counterfeit money will eventually go?
"I dare not say everything, but I think most of this money will only end up in the hands of those old people with dim eyesight, and it should be the kind of grandparents who run a small business and guard their hard-earned money every day. , such as dim sum shops, and book and newsstands, these are consumption points without money printing machines.”
Yan Kai threw the counterfeit money back.
"It's not shabby to make money, but it's shabby to make this kind of money!"
Yan Kai looked at Esdeath and said.
"So you just sit back and watch me kill them?"
Esdeath asked, she felt that Yan Kai had a very strong dislike for those who persecuted the weak in society.
"Otherwise, handing you a knife would be too much, and you're carrying it yourself."
Yan Kai smiled.
"I'm glad that I'm not in the habit of using force against the elderly and the weak."
Esdeath suddenly sighed.
If she was just purely bloodthirsty, she would probably be cold by now.
"I'm also very lucky. Teacher Esdeath, although you are very murderous, you don't like to point your sword at innocent people."
Yan Kai responded.
"I just don't like prey that won't fight back."
Esdeath smiled.
"That's enough. It's better than those who only like to attack people who have no ability to resist." Yan Kai said. After speaking, Yan Kai seemed to have remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention it. I'll do it tomorrow." School is about to start, Mr. Esdeath, please remember to go to work. Although it is good to work part-time to 'maintain justice', don't forget your own job."
Your job?
Esdeath was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered, oh, by the way, she is a teacher now.
Esdeath smiled and nodded: "Okay, classmate Yan Kai, the teacher will definitely not be absent tomorrow, but..."
In the middle of speaking, Esdeath suddenly slapped Yan Kai with a palm.
Yan Kai remained calm. He knew very well that force was always the best way to communicate with Esdeath, so he also slapped him and faced Esdeath head-on.
As soon as his palms touched, the cold palm force hit Yan Kai continuously. Yan Kai used his "Thunder Fire Inner Breath" to resist. Although he stood still, he still felt how powerful it was.
In the past, although Esdeath's ice energy was full of coldness, it didn't have such an endless feeling, and it really became more difficult to deal with.
But in general, the internal force has become stronger and its nature has changed, but it is no longer the "Celestial Silkworm Qi" that has the ability to devour, which makes Yan Kai completely relieved.
After confirming that the internal force in Esdeath's body was no longer the "Celestial Silkworm Qi", Yan Kai, who had no intention of entangled with Esdeath, unleashed his inner force, wanting to force Esdeath back and end the competition.
The internal force was spat out, which should have forced Esdeath back, but at this moment, a strange pulling force firmly pulled Yan Kai's palm. Yan Kai wanted to close his palm, but he felt that his palm and Esdeath Des's palms were stuck together, and he forced his palms apart. A thick layer of ice-blue silk appeared in his palms, and the two palms were tightly stuck together.
"What do you think, classmate Yan Kai? This is my new method. Is it interesting?"
Esdeath smiled and said to Yan.
