Chapter 37 Bai Ye: How could a person cause such a disaster?
"You also know swordsmanship?"
Not only did the barrage of questions raise a bunch of questions, but even Shuise and Linglan expressed their confusion in a voiceless voice. The latter was closer, so naturally she saw more clearly that Youyu had directly pulled out a very standard Western swift sword from her own clover cursor. The whole sword was a simple and elegant golden color, and the guard was a delicately curved four-leaf clover, which was more fortunate and beautiful than a three-leaf clover.
"This is... your soul tag weapon?"
Linglan looked at the swift sword that Youyu took out out of thin air, and she almost had the words "You kid actually have this skill" written on her face.
Soul Tag weapons are weapons that come with the soul tags of Devil Game players. They are similar to the embodiment of soul tags, rooted in the truest hopes deep in the soul. For example, Suzuran's fork comes from her love for cooking.
There are also some Soul Tag weapons that are special blessings of the Wheel of Fortune, such as Emerald's [Emerald Gate Key]. Soul tag weapons are usually found among offensive tag owners, and there are also many special auxiliary ones like Shuise. However, in Linglan's memory, Youyu does not have a soul tag weapon and has never used swift swordsmanship.
"Oh, no, no, I got this sword from a strange person in the Sun Headquarters. To be honest, this is the first time I use it. It is said that it seems to be a token obtained by a certain law enforcement captain in a Catalan Demon game in the Western District City Circle."
You Yu shrugged his shoulders. Some tokens in the demon game will fall into the surface world after the game is over. These tokens usually have only one ending - they will be stored in the deep of the Leather Tower Archives by the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau and sealed off for storage. However, some tokens that have been identified as having completely lost their demonic power will also be given as weapons or gifts by some law enforcers who do not have soul-tagged weapons.
You Yu made a sword flower: "But my swordsmanship is definitely very good, Sister Linglan, don't worry!"
The brown-haired boy smiled and made his signature move. He pressed the beret on his forehead and looked at the huge demon in front of him, who was more aggressive and angry than before. The violent state brought about by the fusion of the token made the demon's flaming body grow to a level that can be recognized by the naked eye. The whole Huangquan Town suddenly became much brighter - that was the effect of the sudden increase in the size of the tiny flames everywhere.
The demon god just glanced, without even raising his hand, a tall pillar of fire rose instantly, like a sun that appeared out of thin air, and a spherical shape with a blazing halo rushed towards the two of them. You Yu took two steps back and kicked the high wall of the hot spring courtyard building behind him. The whole person spun in the air, and the sharp swift sword was used with a strong sense of power, like a long knife splitting those fireballs, and the shaking sword tip bounced off the surrounding flames without exception, without any luck bonus, You Yu really relied on his strength to destroy the demon god's attack in his violent state.
[No, buddy, you really can do it? No one likes to see you successfully show off! 】
Is this a squid? ? ? Although he was previously seen in the Devil's Game to be very flexible and had a good foundation in physical skills, was this action really something a human could accomplish? 】
[I was careless before. Have you seen how many of the main attack and interference OB players at the top of the list conform to Newton's three laws of motion during normal combat? 】
[Talking about science to the label owner in the devil's game, you are this (thumbs-up)]
[Am I the only one who thinks You Yu’s swordsmanship is amazing? I really didn’t know before that You Yu was also good at swift swordsmanship.]
Linglan was also a little curious when she saw this. She looked at Youyu who had taken a few steps back and landed on the ground, wondering, "Since your swift swordsmanship is so good, why didn't you use it before?"
You Yu sighed: "Because I haven't been forced to this point."
Linglan inexplicably had a bad feeling: "Tell the truth."
You Yu shuddered: "Hehe, actually I don't know any swift swordsmanship at all. You may not believe it, but my swordsmanship teacher——"
Linglan raised her eyebrows: "Isn't that the kendo teacher you found at the Children's Palace who charges 3,600 yuan for 36 lessons?"
You Yu showed an expression of wanting to cry but not being able to. He adjusted his movements. It was not easy to see in the dynamic battle just now, but now Linglan saw it clearly: it was a very crooked and non-standard Swift Sword preparation posture.
You Yu: "It's even more outrageous than that. I just randomly searched for tutorials on the Internet, short videos of one or two minutes each. I suddenly remembered this token recently, and I wanted to show off in front of you, so I forced myself to learn it."
You Yu touched his cheek embarrassedly: "That section just now was all my assets, I didn't even expect it to hit every sword."
Lily of the valley, Lily of the valley opened its mouth into an O shape.
Sure enough, it was just her illusion that Youyu was reliable. In the end, this guy was just relying on luck.
In Huangquan Town, where there are plagues, there is a torii gate in the red leaf forest.
Bai Ye stood in front of the tall blood-red torii gate, with his feet on the red carpet made of fallen maple leaves from the maple forest. He took out the token from the team panel and placed it suspended in the air. The shape of a sharp knife could be vaguely seen in the surrounding red and blue pixel balls.
"It will take some time before the security gate is opened. What else can we do now?"
Shuise's breathing was still a little disordered, obviously he had just run all the way here. He looked at Bai Ye who was in deep thought and concluded: "You must have other ideas and guesses, otherwise you wouldn't be so quiet."
"Then you really do understand me."
Bai Ye sighed and shifted his gaze away from the torii gate space that had been flooded with red and blue pixel patterns due to the effect of the token. He looked far away in the direction of the Shinto's eyes under the torii gate - a building that might exist deep in the dense blood-red maple forest.
"I'm just a little concerned. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a shrine there."
The Torii and Shinto roads are both ancillary buildings of the shrine. There are many stone fox sculptures around the Torii, extending all the way to the end of the Shinto road, which is made of piled stones and disappears in the red leaf forest.
With such complete facilities, there must be a shrine of considerable size in the maple forest in the mountains, plus the shrine maiden I saw in the well before...
"Anyway, the security gate is about to open. Since you are sure there is a shrine there, why not go and take a look? It would be a waste if you don't go anyway."
Shuise looked at Bai Ye strangely, not understanding what Bai Ye was struggling with.
Bai Ye sighed: "That's just a guess after all, and according to common sense, Youyu and Linglan should have almost reached the safety gate, right? Not to mention the demon's violent state--"
Shuise was too lazy to listen to Bai Ye's analysis of the pros and cons. He simply took Bai Ye's arm and ran towards the sacred path that extended deep into the maple forest: "Why think so much? You can't play good music if you are hesitant. If you want to go and see it, just go and see it."
"But if Linglan and Youyu arrived early——"
Bai Ye wanted to explain, but Shuise had already started laughing. The nobleman from the Muse Music Band seemed to be amused by Bai Ye's words and couldn't hide his emotions at all: "Pfft... I'm sorry, but you still choose to believe them... Those two people, if they can fight a little longer, they must choose to fight a little longer. It's good enough that they didn't arrive late, and they even arrived early."
Bai Ye recalled the outrageous actions of You Yu and Ling Lan before: "Hiss, that's true."
The stone-paved shrine road continued to extend forward, but its length was much shorter than Bai Ye had imagined. Just after turning a corner, the dilapidated shrine at the end appeared in the sight of the two.
Shuise exclaimed, "I didn't expect it to be true."
Bai Ye didn't say anything. He took a few steps forward. The shrine, like the entire Huangquan Town, seemed to have experienced a fire. The charred buildings had collapsed and were covered with a thick layer of red leaves, as if some organism had shed all its blood here.
"What happened here...? Why is it so sad?"
As a musician, Mizuiro has a strong resonance with the surrounding environment. Looking at the ruins of the shrine bathed in red leaves, he felt as if his heart was hit by something. In the bleak wind, the dilapidated and burnt shrine, and the blood-like red, everything was frozen in the most beautiful moment of destruction. It was simply the limit of Yoshima mono no aware literature, which made his musical inspiration grow wildly and he wanted to play a song on the spot.
"I don't know, but...it's obviously related to the Devil's Apostle's plan."
Bai Ye was not affected by the crying environment at all. He even stepped on a maple leaf that was in a perfect position and took out a notebook that was half turned to ashes from the pile of maple leaves on the ground with a desperate expression on Shuise's face.
Shuise came closer, his heartbroken expression suddenly turned serious: "This is..."
Bai Ye flipped to the back of the notebook and pointed to the shadow of the other world that suddenly appeared before the line: "[Demon King of Tang Hong and Mu Huo: The Serpent of Eden], the former leader of the crazy non-intelligent group of demons, one of the four great demon kings. This shrine... is conducting research related to it."
"Demon King..." Shuise's eyes were fixed on the notebook that was so loose that it could turn into ashes at any time. These two words only existed in myths and legends, and were also... the objects of sacrifice in mythology by the zombie puppets brought by Huo Gu in the Solomon Academy incident.
What exactly are the demon apostles doing? Shuise suddenly didn't dare to think too deeply.
"clang--"
The bell rang as usual, with the accompaniment of shrine music faintly in the background, which was a sign that the security door was open. At the same time, Youyu's scream exploded deep in the headset.
“Oh my gosh! Aren’t you a fire demon?! How can you summon a tornado?!”
Youyu and Linglan watched the door open, and then the angry Huo Gu went berserk and summoned countless rotating fire tornadoes on the spot, refusing to stop until they were killed.
Linglan had bad luck. A fire tornado suddenly appeared out of nowhere next to her. She couldn't keep her balance and was sucked in. Youyu wanted to save her but was stunned by Linglan's words.
"The fire tornado is caused by poor airflow! It's not a demon's skill! Youyu, come here quickly, I can use the vines to temporarily control the direction of the tornado, and the ghost orchid will ensure that we are not burned by fire in a short period of time!"
Lily of the Valley, who was protected by vines in the fire tornado, threw a vine at Youyu and shouted.
"The security door has been opened. Let's not linger any longer. If we want to spar with these guys, there will be plenty of time later!"
You Yu didn't hesitate at all, he jumped up and grabbed the translucent vine of Lily of the Valley. He looked at the sea of fire where there was no place to step. At this moment, the only place with the lowest flame content in the whole venue was even inside the fire tornado: "Let's go! We need a place to spar! Amy can't afford it. Who can stand the whole venue being on fire!"
"Then I'll drive! Wuhu! It's no different from driving a motorcycle!"
Lily of the valley exclaimed "Wuhu" and "drove" the high-speed rotating fire tornado through the vines towards the direction of the safety gate torii.
Amy's roar contained the unbearable anger of life. Anyone who used a big move and had it driven away by the opponent would be so angry.
Unfortunately, the demon's body was too bulky. Even if Amy tried her best, its speed could not catch up with the madly advancing fire tornado.
The torii was getting closer and closer in the eyes of Linglan and Youyu. When the distance reached a suitable range, Linglan directly removed the ghost orchid vines in the fire tornado. The wind and flames suddenly disappeared into the depths of the air after losing their support. Youyu landed on the ground, thinking he was very handsome. He saw Bai Ye waiting beside the torii. He was about to wave happily, but suddenly he remembered something and stood still as if petrified.
Youyu was frightened and screamed again. He suddenly pulled Linglan over and shouted in despair: "Damn it! Where's Shuise?! We forgot to pick him up!"
[The one-stop rescue ended up with the person being rescued not getting on the bus.] 】
[It’s so funny, how can a person get into such a big trouble?]
But they are going to win! The points I placed on the prophecy! 】
[Why do I remember that Mizuise has been by Baiye's side for a long time? Didn't they go exploring the shrine together just now? The information gap is really scary...】
[Sorry, I was in Youyu and Ling’s live broadcast room just now and didn’t notice it at all...]
The comments were already laughing, and Bai Ye was more impressed by You Yu's thick nerves. He could only sigh, "Ups and downs, ups and downs."
Although he had known for a long time that they were of this style, Bai Ye still felt unprecedentedly thrilling after experiencing it personally.
"He's here."
Fortunately, Bai Ye had already told Shuise the location of the Torii when he was about to open the security door, allowing him to rush over and meet up in advance. Otherwise, Shuise would be alone facing the sea of fire in Huangquan Town now.
Bai Ye pointed at the Torii Gate and Mizuiro poked his head out: "What's wrong? Are you talking about me?"
Bai Ye: ...This is also stupid.
When Youyu saw the sudden change in water color, he instantly understood who had given the signal in time. He let out a long sigh of relief and stretched out his hand exaggeratedly, wanting to give Bai Ye a loving hug: "Bai Ye! You are so reliable! I love you so much!"
Bai Ye silently took a step back, leaving You Yu empty-handed.
