Ran Mingzhu couldn't wait to know the contents of the diary left by her father Ran Tianyou, so she made an appointment with Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu to meet on the rooftop during lunch break. In this way, the world that originally belonged to two people on the rooftop of the school suddenly became an extra one. People show up.
Ouyang Xiaoleng handed her the content of the letter hidden on the last page of the diary. She read the letter quietly, and then remained silent for a while before asking: "You have also read this letter, right? Tell me how you feel?"
Ouyang Xiaoleng narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, I have read it! I guess that Ran Tianyou most likely entered the demon world after leaving Yujin Apartment, because he gave up avenging my mother not long ago, but what is the truth? Maybe we can ask the manager of Yujin Apartment for confirmation."
The sunshine at noon is really strong, and the rooftop in early summer has begun to get a little hot. Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng have already changed into summer short-sleeved school uniforms, but Mingzhu is still wearing a thick sweatshirt, from top to bottom. They are all covered so tightly that it seems difficult to breathe.
When she thought that her father Ran Tianyou might still have a chance to survive, she couldn't wait to ask: "Can you take me to the demon world, Ouyang Xiaoleng?"
"No!" Ouyang Xiaoleng's answer was simple and clear.
"Has she been there already?" Ran Mingzhu pointed at Xia Qiu and asked.
"Yes!" Ouyang Xiaoleng responded.
"Then why can't I?!"
However, Mingzhu's emotions began to become excited. She knew that although she and Ouyang Xiaoleng were siblings, they were only in name only, and their relationship was naturally not as good as that of him and Xia Qiu. But now it was about whether her father was still alive, so she decided to It's impossible to think about this calmly.
"It's not something ordinary people can enter casually!" Ouyang Xiaoleng's tone was still cold.
"Isn't she an ordinary person?!" Ran Mingzhu didn't want to give up and continued to ask questions.
"No, as my blood pact maker, she is naturally qualified to enter my world." Ouyang Xiaoleng pointed out the difference between Xia Qiu and Ran Mingzhu.
"You mean I'm not qualified?!" Ran Mingzhu turned from excitement to anger.
"I will help you find Ran Tianyou."
"As long as I can prove that I am stronger than her and more qualified to be your blood pact partner, can you let me enter the demon world?" However, Mingzhu was still reluctant.
"It doesn't matter what you do!" Ouyang Xiaoleng had gradually lost his patience. What's more, Ran Mingzhu actually wanted to compete with Xia Qiu, which made him even more disgusted.
"Are you afraid that she will lose to me?!" However, Mingzhu seemed to believe that as long as she could win, she would be qualified to enter the demon world instead of Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu, who was standing between them, felt that with the tempers of these two people, they might take action at any time, so he persuaded: "Xiao Leng, can you make an exception?"
"No." Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't want to be entangled with Ran Mingzhu anymore and was about to turn around and leave.
"Haha, he is just worried that you will count too badly. If that's not the case, we will have a competition. Whether he can let me enter the demon world will wait until we finish the competition!" Ran Mingzhu said to them with a sneer.
Before Ouyang Xiaoleng could refuse, Xia Qiu responded first: "Okay, I'll compete with you! Actually, I'm a little curious about how the demon catcher fights."
"Then let's have this competition in Yongchuan Forest after school today!" However, Mingzhu felt that the opportunity was too late to miss, so she quickly set a time.
Ouyang Xiaoleng had to admit that Xia Qiu always brought variables to his decisions, and this time was no exception. He still knew a little bit about the fighting abilities of monster hunters. Most of the time, they would use their own blood to summon waiters to fight on their behalf. The waiters were also called shikigami in Japan. Most of the time, they would use various shapes of talismans to symbolize them. , but a powerful monster hunter will directly use weapons to convert them, which are also weapons. For example, his mother Ran Susu can transform one of her long daggers into a huge ice wolf. After getting the plum blade, she can use her own blood to make the humanoid form of the plum blade appear and help her. Fight.
When monster hunters are fighting, they often create a barrier called the Infinite Realm. Ordinary people outside the barrier cannot see the battles taking place within the barrier, and the battles within the barrier will not cause any harm to the world outside the barrier. Destruction and impact. But this kind of enchantment has a limitation, that is, unless one party fails, the two parties fighting in the enchantment cannot leave.
Ouyang Xiaoleng felt that he had to stop this battle. Although he did not doubt Xia Qiu's strength, the reason why she agreed to Ran Mingzhu's request was because she did not understand the demon hunter. If it was just for Ran Mingzhu's willfulness, And causing harm to Xia Qiu was the last thing he wanted to see. But just when he was about to explain all this to her, the bell for the end of lunch break rang at an inappropriate time.
"It's time to go back to the classroom!" Xia Qiu said as he ran towards the teaching building.
"I'll see you after school then!" Ran Mingzhu followed closely, but she didn't forget to turn around and smile provocatively at Ouyang Xiaoleng.
In the afternoon class, Ouyang Xiaoleng tried to persuade Xia Qiu to give up her previous decision. He told her over and over again on a small piece of paper the fighting methods of the demon hunter and the dangers involved. But Xia Qiu has no intention of giving up. She thinks that as long as Ran Mingzhu proves her strength, maybe Ouyang Xiaoleng will change his mind and allow her to enter the demon world. After all, she is going to find her father. Xia Qiu understands her mood very well. , just like she still firmly believes that Yuhe Senren is still alive.
So, they came to Yongchuan Forest again after school. Ran Mingzhu chose an open space and stood in the center. She took out a talisman from her breast pocket and waved it in the air, and the talisman was immediately ignited. She threw the charm on the ground, waved her hand to Ouyang Xiaoleng and said, "Those who don't matter, please step back! Infinite realm!"
But in fact, the power of Mingzhu is more powerful than Ouyang Xiaoleng imagined, and the infinite realm she creates is more unpredictable. When she chose Xia Qiu as the target of the battle, the flames caused by the spell she just threw on the ground instantly turned into a cyclone, pushing Ouyang Xiaoleng out.
"Can we start?" Ran Mingzhu asked Xia Qiu.
"Yeah!" Xia Qiu nodded and called out the plum blade, making a fighting stance.
Ran Mingzhu took out four more human-shaped talismans and put them close to her lips. The edge of the talisman scratched her lips and stained the surface of the talisman with blood. She threw the four talismans in Xia Qiu's direction, and they soon transformed into four tall warriors wearing armor and holding long weapons in front of her.
"Oops, she can actually summon four waiters at the same time!" Ouyang Xiaoleng naturally said to himself, punching the barrier in front of him like a transparent wall, but the barrier did not move at all, and his voice could not be heard at all. Not inside.
Xia Qiu seemed very calm. She quickly replayed the battles she had experienced and the enemies she had faced in her mind, and she no longer felt how scary these four guys were.
However, Mingzhu didn't expect Xia Qiu's courage to be so amazing. From the first time she saw her and Ouyang Xiaoleng together, she didn't take her seriously and regarded her as just an ordinary girl. And his ability has already surpassed that of the monster hunters of his age, so it should be very easy to deal with a small character like Xia Qiu.
She controlled the four waiters to take the lead in launching the offensive. The waiters surrounded Xia Qiu with the long knives in their hands, and stabbed her with the weapons at the same time. However, Mingzhu thought it would be a sure hand this time, but in the blink of an eye, Xia Qiu's shadow disappeared.
However, just when Mingzhu was feeling strange, Xia Qiu had already arrived in front of her. She pointed the plum blade straight at Ran Mingzhu, with the tip of the blade only a centimeter or two away from her heart, and asked: "When monster hunters fight monsters, don't they think that monsters may directly attack themselves?"
"You win!" However, Mingzhu felt that she had been deeply humiliated. She had indeed underestimated her opponent too much, allowing Xia Qiu to win this contest so easily. But it was already over, and it was too late to regret.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qiu took back the knife and said, "What you did just now doesn't count. Now you should know my strength, right? Let's compete again seriously!"
"I underestimated you before, I'm sorry! Let's do it again!" However, Mingzhu felt that she had met a rare opponent, and she had to deal with the battle with her more seriously.
Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't hear the conversation between the two of them. Looking at the situation just now, he thought Xia Qiu had already won. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that the battle in the barrier had started again. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he summoned his Ye Shen Bing, and with one sword he tore a hole in the barrier created by Ran Mingzhu, and the hole closed automatically after he entered the barrier.
The battle in the infinite realm intensified. Ran Mingzhu rearranged the four warriors, leaving one behind to protect her, while the other three continued to attack Xia Qiu. Xia Qiu first dodged the long knife in the hand of one of the warriors. When he wanted to attack Xiangran Mingzhu like last time, the other two warriors quickly crossed their spears in front of her.
Xia Qiu smiled faintly, and quickly broke through the siege of the three warriors with his sword. However, Mingzhu took out another talisman and turned it into a ball of fire and pushed it towards her. When she dodged, the three soldiers The soldiers once again surrounded her in the center.
"So cunning!" Ouyang Xiaoleng cursed, secretly worried about Xia Qiu.
"Don't worry!" Xia Qiu heard his voice and comforted him, continuing to focus on this battle of her own.
In fact, she did not use her full strength. Firstly, it was because she did not fully understand Ran Mingzhu's strength. Secondly, because if she won too quickly, Ouyang Xiaoleng would not allow Ran Mingzhu to enter the demon world.
But Mingzhu didn't know this, and she planned to make a desperate move and use all her tricks to deal with Xia Qiu. But the more eager she is to succeed, the more obvious her flaws become.
