Chapter 357 Who Are You?

"Hey, hey, Alaya, are they looking for you?"

After hearing the other person mention looking for angels, I immediately curiously asked a certain angel sister who was taking a nap in her own spiritual sea.

Then a steady and even sound of purring filled my mind.

Is it a biological clock that goes to sleep at 9:30 every night? Alaya, you are such a good boy, you are in tears...

However, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that the "angel" mentioned by those people not far away cannot be the angel sister who is sleeping in my spiritual world until her nose is bubbling and her saliva is drooling. Alaya's arrival is completely hidden. Yes, she has always been hidden in my spiritual world and has never come out. As far as is known, even the technology of the Xiling Empire cannot find a dormant angel from the spiritual sea of ​​an emperor-level Xiling apostle, let alone this world. The detection technique created by humans, and even if Alaya appears in the main material plane now, as long as she is not willing, no one can sense the existence of this girl: a real angel is the purest light and energy. A creature that is the origin of the world without any artificial traces. Although she is a legendary race, she is definitely not a so-called magical creature. You can't find any magic fluctuations in Alaya, just like the most powerful mage can't even imagine the rising sun in the morning. Just like accurately sensing a certain beam of light, I call this situation: purely natural and pollution-free.

I always felt like something very subtle had slipped through my mind just now.

The "angel" mentioned by the blond priest could only be something from the religious legends of this world.

Perhaps it is the projection information of the Star Realm to thousands of worlds, perhaps it is the embodiment of the power of faith of hundreds of millions of believers, or it may be the "divine" form that can be recognized by the world and produced by the power of the world itself under the interference of religious concepts. , this world has the concept of "angel", and there are things corresponding to its existence. Each angel represents a power, law or order that the world understands. Under normal circumstances, it only exists as an idol of faith and cannot be changed. They are also not allowed to appear in the world at will, because the positions in the sky and the positions on the earth are full, and there is no extra space for placement. Angels cannot transform into mortals, and mortals cannot peek into the positions in the sky. Naturally, there is no way between the two. Wandering around like a drop-in, but there are exceptions to everything. Some powerful spells called taboos even have the power to make angels around "gods" fall to the ground. Such spells may require the sacrifice of tens of thousands of believers to complete. The Great Forbidden Spell - if you can find so many fanatic believers who are willing to sacrifice, it may also be an ancient secret method that requires the help of the power of the world itself, such as the movement of stars - if the planets in the sky are exactly where you want them to appear If so, it could also be a summons that requires extreme coincidence and astonishing good luck, such as making a hotline call - if Belludandi happens to be free.

Well, the chatter ends here.

So according to what the blond priest said, an angel died, and the place he hid after his death was in Academy City?

This is what Lin Xue said, and the plot has already begun to go berserk...

"Hey, Agnus, how long will it take?"

Steele, who had been waiting for the ceremony to end for a long time, held a cigarette in his mouth and said very dissatisfiedly to the blond priest next to him. It seemed that bickering with the colleague next to him was one of the Fire Emperor's daily hobbies.

The blond priest was not interested in talking to him at the moment. He was holding something like a compass in his hand, but it was not the pattern drawn by the Oriental Feng Shui compass, but densely packed dots of starlight, which were infused with the use of The artificial sky made of magical diamond chips. Driven by the invisible magic power, these little "starlights" move slowly, gradually showing the constellation picture that can be seen in this ritual place, as if the entire sky has been transformed. After shrinking, it was copied to the astrolabe, and around the blond priest, the invisible magic field formed a complex formation. In my perception, what these turbulent energies presented turned out to be the three-dimensional shape of Academy City. Structure diagram.

However, there are many incongruities in this picture. The proportions of some places are seriously distorted. Many school districts with huge area only have a small area of ​​open space marked on this "map", and an insignificant The flower bed can occupy an area of ​​several city blocks. If we weren't rich in association skills, how could we connect such a weird thing with Academy City?

"That's not a real scene in Academy City." As an energy creature, Alaya must have a more accurate perception of the surrounding magical structure than I do. "That's observing the earth from the perspective of stars, and then using astrology to eliminate the inside. Things formed from useless information, all places that have nothing to do with divination will be gradually weakened or even ignored, and the target of divination will be clearly marked on the 'map'. Although this method looks clumsy, it is borrowed from The power of the stars can achieve the effect of divination of certain super-powerful beings without being noticed by the other party, and few people can escape the gaze of the stars. If they are looking for that 'angel', they can use this technique. The formula couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Indeed, as Alaya said, in my perception, with the fluctuation of the magic power of the blond priest, the projection of Academy City formed by invisible magic power is also constantly changing. Blocks gradually disappear, and some The school district has become the focus of magic, and those places must be the areas where "angels" have been active.

But everything didn't seem to go so smoothly.

Without warning, I felt that the various energies floating around me lost contact for an instant. It felt like I was suddenly thrown into a vacuum environment from a pool full of water, even though it was only for a moment, maybe even just a moment. It took a few milliseconds, but it shocked me.

"Energy vacuum?"

Pandora's body stiffened imperceptibly, and then her tone became serious, "Brother, I recorded an energy vacuum that lasted for seventeen milliseconds. All the specific energy here just now disappeared - including the nether energy in my body."

With this inexplicable explosion of energy vacuum, the astrology performed by the blond priest named Agnus was naturally interrupted: magic formulas are inherently very tight and rigorous things, and most of them are not designed. ups……

"Tch, is this happening again?" Steele blew out a smoke ring. It seemed that this sudden power outage was not the first time. "It seems that even if the ceremony is performed in Academy City, it won't buy much time. Then What happened to the interruption of magic power?"

"Much better than last time," the blond priest said with an abnormal flush on his face. Although the out-of-control magic just now was interrupted due to the energy vacuum, it still caused a burst of blood in his body. "At least we can confirm that the angel There are several general locations that I have been frequenting recently, and I know that the power held by the other party may be related to the 'ban' or 'blockade'..."

"And more importantly, you didn't lie on the ground for an hour this time," Steele continued to mock his partner next to him in style, but then looked at the weapon battle in front of him... ahem, Kanzaki Fire Ori, "Kanzaki, what did you find?"

The girl with the title of saint looked very serious at the moment, but also had a hint of confusion. She stared at a floor-to-ceiling billboard not far away, and then suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed it on the long knife, shouting in a low voice: "Who is it? Come out!"

Well, it was discovered.

It seems that the moment the energy vacuum appeared just now, the shielding device driven by psionic energy in Pandora's body crashed for a short time, leaking our breath, but our figures have been hidden behind this billboard, and that shielding The failure time was only a dozen milliseconds, but it was discovered by the other party based on intuition. Isn't it possible that things like saints are made of rare materials?

"Hi!" Scratching my hair, I led my two sisters out from behind the billboard where we were hiding. Steele and Agnas had undoubtedly shocked expressions on their faces, because we were so far away from where we were hiding. It had to be said that it was incredible that they were so close, and that they had been monitored for such a long time without being noticed.

Kanzaki Kaori's face showed a more solemn expression. Her eyes kept scanning Pandora and Viska, and she held the long knife in her hand tighter and tighter.

I can't feel the breath of... human beings... not even the breath of life...

"Brother, brother," Viska quietly pulled my sleeve and whispered, "This woman with the knife seems to be able to sense the fluctuations of life. Just now, my anti-detection system intercepted a signal source that looked like a life detector. ."

Are saints really made of rare materials and specially made? Why are there so many messy talents?

"Kanzaki?" Steele was surprised to find that the colleague next to him who had been his partner for many years was gathering momentum that he had rarely seen before. It was a reaction only when faced with a fatal threat, and when his partner For so long, there were only two records of Kanzaki reacting like this.

"Who are you?"

The blond priest turned back the astrolabe in his hand and said while secretly accumulating magic power.

Before I could say anything, Viska had already taken a step forward, staring at the man opposite with her blood-red cat eyes. Although she was immature, her extremely cold voice rang out, using the same question: "You guys Who is he?"

"It seems like an uncooperative attitude..." The blond priest assumed a fighting posture, "But I won't do anything to the child, Steele!"

"Why would I do something to such a young girl?!"

The red-haired priest who was named immediately complained loudly and dissatisfiedly, and then I heard a creaking sound coming from beside me.

Pandora and Viska, the two loli sisters who had not grown taller for hundreds of thousands of years, were finally irritated by some very subtle adjectives used by each other.

Before I had time to catch these two impulsive little guys, the latter had already disappeared from my side. Pandora and Viska disappeared in an instant, and then jumped to a place less than half a meter in front of Stiyl and Agnus. At the same time, they stretched out their little fingers to point to the chins of their respective targets, raised their little faces and asked, "Who are you?"

So fast!

This was the first thought of Kanzaki Kaori, who didn't even have time to draw the sword. Then she jumped more than ten meters at a speed that was almost teleporting. She held down the handle of the sword with one hand and performed the sword drawing technique. She raised her hand, slightly arched her body, and glanced between the few of us with vigilant eyes - she did not choose to take action rashly. The speed of the two little girls just now was unbelievable, and she did not feel anything from it. The esper activated the wave of super power, and the girl saint subconsciously regarded it as the pure physical speed of the twins. In this case, if she took action, she would probably harm her two colleagues who were already within the absolute attack range of the enemy.

As for Stiyl and Agnus, who were instantly approached by Pandora and Visca, the former had just reached into his arms to take out the card with runes written on it, while the latter had not even had time to lift up his astrolabe.

"Who are you?"

After a few seconds of confrontation, Viska and Pandora asked in unison with completely unfluctuated tones.

"It's shaped like a sword..." Taking advantage of the opportunity for the weird little girl in front of him to speak, Steele suddenly jumped half a step back, then quickly took out a small red piece of paper, while reciting the words "Beloved" loudly. After the simplified incantation, as his voice sounded, a bright flame immediately burst out from the center of the small card, and then extended into the shape of a flaming sword in the hand of the red-haired priest. At the same time, the A blond priest also quickly let go of the astrolabe in his hand. The disc that looked like it was made entirely of obsidian suddenly exploded in mid-air and turned into countless tiny silvery-white debris, which then flew towards Viska enveloped the past.

"...There are stars shining on the earth, and everything is covered with shadow..."

The shining silver-white debris burst out with strong light at the same time, and then rotated rapidly, surrounding Viska layer by layer like a magnificent galaxy. It seemed that as long as Viska moved a little bit, he would be killed by those sharper than blades. The pieces were torn into pieces.

But that's it.

Pandora once again jumped half a meter in front of Steele, then casually stretched out her right hand and grasped the flaming sword with a temperature of thousands of degrees. With a slight squeeze, the powerful magical creation turned into scattered objects. The little Loli with a red firefly and a dull expression entered the interrogation mode again after destroying the opponent's weapons and asked in a stiff and rigid tone: "Who are you?"

On the other side, Viska looked curiously at the small pieces flying around him, and then without hesitation stretched out his white and tender hands and inserted them into the high-speed torrent of glare.

Something happened so suddenly that the blond priest didn't even have time to withdraw the high-speed blade that was originally intended to trap the opponent. However, the sight of blood splashing as he expected did not appear. The slender-looking little hand easily caught it in the air. There were several crystal fragments of obsidian and small pieces of diamonds, and then the cat-eyed girl looked at them in confusion and suddenly opened her mouth.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

While Agnas and I stared at each other in stunned silence, Viska put the pieces in her mouth and chewed them for a long time, then spit them out, turned around and shouted to me aggrievedly: "Brother, brother, Sandora Sister lied to me!"

Don't get close to that unreliable off-line queen with your eating habits, silly girl!

"It's not delicious," Viska spat out the crumbs in his mouth and muttered. Then he jumped in space and came to the stunned blond priest. He continued to point at him and asked that sentence a few seconds slower than Pandora. Words: "Who are you?"

Along with these words, the flying bright astrolabe fragments also fell to the ground: after the integrity was severely damaged, this spiritual equipment has been completely scrapped.

These two little guys started playing...

At this moment, I was suddenly startled by the sound of the air being cut, coming towards me quickly. From the corner of my eye, several bright lines that were almost invisible to the naked eye had cut through the air, and they were so close in an instant.

The one who launched the attack was a young saint who had been watching the battle not far away. After seeing two weird little girls defeating two bishop-level magicians effortlessly, she decisively targeted me. , in her opinion, defeating the mysterious man in front of her who has never made a move is the only way to turn defeat into victory.

Although the other party also carries the same feeling of extreme danger, compared to the two "monsters" who don't even have the breath of life, at least the other party should still be a human being.

With such a rather rude thought, the brave weapon warrior swung his sword and launched an armor-piercing attack on the boss not far away - Why do I feel that my thinking is a bit messed up?

I have no idea of ​​resisting those "thin threads" made of unknown things. Physical strength is not what I'm good at, and if I get hit by that thing, even if it doesn't hurt, I'm afraid it will hurt for a long time. I need to use a little more force on my feet. While destroying half a meter of cement floor, I also dodged several "thin lines" as sharp as blades.

Amidst the crackling sound of the ground, the place where I originally stood was already covered with deep cuts, which made me even more convinced that I had made the wise decision to dodge just now.

"It's not over yet!"

Kanzaki Kaori was not surprised that his attack failed, but immediately charged forward, drew his sword, and robbed him like a bolt of lightning.

Reaching the speed of sound with just physical strength?

The saint’s talent is too bt!

And sensing the astonishing energy that quickly condensed on the blade, I even doubted that this attack could directly cut the Eiffel Tower in half. The girl in front of me with the title of "Saint" is really not a joke when it comes to seriousness.

From this point of view, it is impossible to achieve an overwhelming victory simply by using hand-to-hand combat skills, so the remaining option is——

Turning slightly sideways, he dodged Kanzaki Kaori's first slash, and then instantly used his mental power to block all energy changes within two meters around him, including the biological current in the girl in front of him. For the "Saint", I'm afraid this instant control won't last long, but it's enough time for me.

Under the stunned gaze of the other party, I easily pinched the long knife that had been dulled by the owner's erection with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, and then broke it into two pieces with a "click".

You shouldn't engage in melee combat with someone who has a long-lasting paralysis aura.

"Who are you?"

I asked knowingly while breaking the extremely lethal contraband into small pieces section by section.

"Can't you say something else?!"

Kanzaki Kaori, who had gradually regained his mobility but only cautiously jumped back a few meters away, almost fell to the ground when he heard my question, and then shouted to me with a collapsed face - from the moment we met to the start of the fight Now, my two sisters and I have never said anything other than this sentence to them!

She even forgot to observe a moment of silence for her beloved knife...

"Tell me something else," I scratched my hair and nodded, "Okay, who are you guys?"
