In the silence, the two of them froze in place, looking at the door that should have been closed, and looked at each other.
Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, turned around decisively, and signaled Bai Xi to leave with him: This situation is too weird, it is better not to take risks easily.
But Bai Xi didn't move, he just pulled Ye Qingxuan's sleeve and shook his head.
Ye Qingxuan and Bai Xi looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: When did he become less courageous than a little girl
Could it be that he was really frightened by the chase a few days ago, right
He sighed silently and made a few gestures, indicating that Bai Xi was ready to fuck him at any time. He also silently activated the Jiuxiao Ring Pendant, preparing to grab Bai Xi and run away if something went wrong.
One is responsible for fighting and the other is responsible for running. The two people have a clear division of labor, but they seem to be slightly misaligned.
In the silence, the two people stepped silently and approached the open door: behind the door was a huge space.
Under the illumination of several torches, a huge matrix was set up on the ground using alchemical consumables such as mercury, lapis lazuli, ancient silver, and gemstones.
That was a ring of resonance that required expensive materials to be laid out.
Between the layers of complex music scores and notes, a towering prayer flag is inserted into every node. The prayer flags are covered with fine runes and figures of gods and Buddhas. The prayer flags move automatically without wind, exuding regular ether fluctuations, like the exclusive alchemy equipment of a certain faction.
They are organically integrated with the resonance ring below. A huge amount of ether flows on the materials inside, accumulating power and emitting a brilliant glow.
The glow illuminated the scriptures on the prayer flags, making it seem like there were countless musical notes swimming in the void, making the entire underground space extremely sacred.
But in this sacred space, there lay a corpse with its throat cut.
Ye Qingxuan felt a little scared after seeing it.
The corpse dressed as a musician was originally the musician responsible for guarding this place and constructing this ceremony, but now the place has been invaded, and his throat was slit before he could even resist.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
In the silence, Bai Xi quietly pulled the corner of Ye Qingxuan's clothes and pointed at the back of the resonance array... There, there was a shadow in a black robe half-kneeling on the ground, quickly and silently deciphering the entire array. .
When the original self-contained resonance ring is dismantled, external invasion will not cause self-destruction, and all the materials in it can be swept away.
Including the relics of saints that are enough to drive any musician crazy!
Perhaps because of his absolute confidence in his plan, he focused all his attention on deciphering the magic circle and dismantling the notes on it.
Across the entire array of etheric waves, he didn't notice the arrival of the two people.
Ye Qingxuan looked at that figure and felt as if he had seen it there before. It looked very familiar.
In silence, Bai Xi took out the hand crossbow from his arms, made a gesture of slitting his throat, and asked for his opinion: Cousin, you see that his posture is so on point, do you want to give him a crossbow
Before Ye Qingxuan could answer, his expression suddenly changed.
In the silence, even the slightest friction of clothing was so clear that the figure was shocked, suddenly raised its head, and looked over.
The look in his eyes was gloomy and sharp, like an ice cellar in the dark, breathing in a chilling chill.
But when he saw Ye Qingxuan's dress clearly, he seemed to have remembered something, and there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
"...Holmes?"
In the darkness under the hood, he made a hoarse voice: "That black musician?"
After seeing those eyes and hearing that voice, Ye Qingxuan knew who he was and couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect to meet you here..."
He paused and slowly narrowed his eyes:
"—Your Excellency Professor."
After the magic circle, the professor stood up slowly and sighed, as if lamenting the arrangement of fate:
"Each other, revenge Mr. Evil Spirit."
…
…
One is a criminal mastermind in Xiacheng District, and the other is a famous black musician. Neither of them expected that they would meet under such circumstances, in this Tianzhu cellar...
It was like old friends meeting each other. The two looked at each other across the magic circle and "cheered" each other.
"I heard you were injured?"
Ye Qingxuan leaned on his cane and asked calmly: "Doesn't it feel good to be hunted down? Without the help of the butcher, will you become a soft-footed shrimp?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Those losers can't hurt me, but you..."
The professor seemed to be laughing, and his voice was sarcastic: "The tricks you pulled in the Mouse Society were not very clever. You seemed very proud of yourself after successfully playing with the minds of those idiots."
"Such a wonderful thing as the human heart, no matter how many times it is explored, it is endlessly memorable."
Ye Qingxuan laughed hoarsely, showing that he still had unfinished meaning. He stared at the professor's figure with ambiguous eyes:
"If I have the chance, I would also like to explore where your professor's limits are."
"Really? I also want to try what it's like to hunt down a black musician."
After the professor said this, the two of them smiled at the same time, laughing as if they had met their close friends.
But the next moment, the professor suddenly stood up, and a silver flute slipped from his sleeve, playing a vague and sad melody.
He took action!
Ye Qingxuan also took action.
He stretched out his hand and pressed his cane on the resonance circle, trying to poke it—do it? Okay, if you are not afraid that I will explode the magic circle and the two of us will die together, or simply attract people from outside to attack, then just do it.
In an instant, the sound of the flute disappeared.
Under the hood, the professor's expression was ashen. He didn't put down the silver flute, he just suppressed the melody imprinted in it.
"Despicable!" he said through his teeth.
"Shameless!"
Ye Qingxuan scolded me back without any guilt: "Weren't you the one who made the first move? You still have the nerve to scold me?"
He still held the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant in his hand, trying to poke it. The faint sound of the piano echoed from the Nine Heavens Ring, which was only a hair away from the resonance formation filled with ether.
Seeing that he was about to poke him, the professor's eyes became colder and colder:
"You better stop..."
Ye Qingxuan sneered: "Why didn't you let go first!"
The professor was silent for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of starting a fight with this guy here, and suggested in a cold voice: "I'll count one, two, three, and let's play together."
"Okay." Ye Qingxuan nodded.
In the silence, the two people looked at each other silently and said in unison:
"one two three!"
At that moment, the professor suppressed the melody brewing in the silver flute, and Ye Qingxuan also took back his cane.
Very good, everyone abides by the rules, no one breaks their promise, very good.
But then, the professor's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the silver flute in his hand played a sad melody again. He seized this brief opportunity to put this damn bastard to death!
But he didn't expect that after Ye Qingxuan retracted his cane, he smoothly took the crossbow from his companion beside him and pointed it at the magic circle.
Like a skilled assassin, he put his finger on the trigger and pressed it down for half a minute!
The next moment, there will be an earth-shattering explosion or a life-or-death fight.
But the movements of the two people came to an abrupt halt again.
The sound of the flute disappeared, and the finger on the trigger of the hand crossbow slowly loosened.
“…”
“…”
Dead silence, an awkward silence.
"Despicable!" This was the professor's cold scolding.
"Shameless!" Ye Qingxuan responded without hesitation.
"Dirty!" This was Bai Xi's opportunity to finally interrupt.
If there was a swearing contest, the score would be 1:2 now!
"Yeah, win!"
Ye Qingxuan and Bai Xi high-fived each other in perfect agreement, whistled, and were beaming with joy.
For some reason, the professor suddenly felt powerless... It was simply an insult to his own intelligence to compete with these two ignorant people.
“…”
The two sides still maintained a stiff confrontation and silence.
The professor finally broke the silence and said: "It is not an option to waste time like this. Pusu Po may come back at any time."
"That's right."
Ye Qingxuan nodded with admiration, not without sarcasm: "What you said makes sense and is really convincing."
"How about letting go at the same time this time?"
The professor suggested.
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and tapped the magic circle between the two of them with his chin: "It's easy to let go, but where are the things? How to divide them?"
The professor sighed: "First dismantle the magic circle... Whoever dismantles it will belong to him."
"I agree."
Ye Qingxuan nodded politely: "I have a companion, she is helping me, do you have any objection?"
The professor glanced at Bai Xi and nodded after realizing that she was just an apprentice.
"one two three!"
Just as the two people were counting down in unison, Ye Qingxuan and the professor let go at the same time.
But at the same time, they subconsciously raised their hands, and finally, after sensing each other's wariness, they lowered their hands with regret...
"This person will definitely be a great enemy in the future."
For some reason, Ye Qingxuan and the professor had the same thought in their minds at the same time. Subconsciously, he wanted to take action, but after seeing that the other party was wary, he sighed regretfully and took a step back in perfect sync, showing that he was not hostile.
Bai Xi looked at the two of them frowning and tangled, and couldn't help but shake his head:
"…You guys are so boring."
…
…
When the two people clearly discovered that the other party had abided by the agreement and that they had no chance to make a move, they gave up the idea of striking first.
The best thing to do is to get the treasure first, otherwise it will be bad if the fisherman gets the advantage.
However, the professor was just minding his own business in deciphering the magic circle on his side, and had no intention of helping Ye Qingxuan.
Sometimes he looked sideways, sizing up Ye Qingxuan's methods, as if trying to judge the skill and level of this mysterious enemy...
At this time, Ye Qingxuan naturally couldn't let this guy see him all over.
It's just a matter of cracking the magic circle. It's just a matter of reversing the steps of building the magic circle and rearranging it. It's easy to use the interpretation method... How strange!
If Abraham, who had personally presided over the Requiem Barrier, came here, it would be easy to break the Ring of Resonance.
But Ye Qingxuan has only been in school for more than a month, and he hasn't even finished reading the book! He could barely decipher a single note, but once it came to an entire section, he was completely blind...
But it doesn't matter.
He really doesn't have the skills here... but he has Bai Xi!
He looked back at Bai Xi: Cousin, it's time for you to take the stage!
"Look at me!"
Bai Xi came up with an excited look, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his index finger forward, and pointed forward.
But just in front of the index finger, on the circuit of the resonance ring, all the moving ether collapsed in an instant.
Talent·Trick**!
When in full swing, this is a terrifying force capable of creating black zones and sending all ether into a frenzy. But when it is condensed on the fingertips, it can become a "scalpel" that cuts off all enchantments and etheric order!
Under the guidance of Hermes, she had been able to simply control a trace of the terrifying talent in her body a few days ago, without having to worry about it losing her at any time.
The little girl who naturally loves to show off showed her great achievements to Ye Qingxuan right away, winning the admiration and admiration of the young man, and gaining a strong sense of self-esteem.
Moreover, she never hesitated to conceal and eliminate the teachings of Hermes among the factors of success, attributing it to her own great talent.
So across the magic circle, the professor's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if his brain was broken.
What the hell is this? !
