Chapter 20： after death

Chapter 20 After Death

Qiduo never hides his disgust for Hawke.

Gainhawk was once a "grave robber" who wandered around ruins and tombs.

It was also because of this "grave robber" that she hated so much that she took away the "best friend" she valued most.

If it’s just like this, this **** bastard, not only did he not give happiness to his “best friend”, but instead made his “best friend” suffer consequences that he should not have suffered at the cost of his life.

Qi Duo has always wondered why his "best friend" would like a man like Hawke.

So after the "incident" ended, she often felt deeply worthless for her "best friend".

Now-

It was just a formal contact, and Qi Duo's urge to take Moyou away could not be restrained no matter what.

And the memories that are surging in her mind are actively mobilizing her emotions.

This caused her to fail to control her emotions and blurt out the thoughts in her mind.

"Uh."

Moyou was startled by Qi Duo's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He could vaguely perceive—

Hawk and Chito, as well as the mother who left no memory of their predecessors, what should have happened in the past.

but,

Not to mention the motive of Chiduo wanting to take him away, anyway, he doesn't want to leave the temple for the time being.

Because the location here is remote and quiet enough, it is an excellent practice environment for him.

And his current plan is to quickly consolidate the foundation of the "Four Elements", and then master the two advanced applied skills of "Condensation" and "Fortitude".

Until this level, he would consider leaving the monastery.

Even if he wanted to leave, he basically wouldn't choose to go with Chito.

Who knows how many opposing enemies a "two-star" professional hunter will have?

The most important thing is that the sky arena where he can gain combat experience is the place he wants to go in the future.

About this—

In fact, he has already made up his mind. Anyway, he is waiting for his psychic skills to be proficient enough, and then, without using the "psychic ability", he will only use his psychic skills to fight the landlords of the Sky Arena.

The reason for not using "psychic ability" is because you don't want to expose your ability worthless in the public, and only use the power of thinking skills to accumulate strength faster.

Chito naturally didn't know what Moyou was thinking.

She looked at Moyu who was silent and wanted to further explain that she was not joking.

But the timely return of reason stopped her thoughts.

The highest priority right now is not to take Moyu out of here, but to completely eradicate the "force of price" that can threaten Moyu's life.

"I mean-"

Qiduo regained her composure, and said softly in the tone of an elder: "The city where I live is very prosperous and lively. If you are free later, you can go back with me and play with me for a few days before coming back."

"Okay, I haven't seen a "big city" since I grew up."

Moyu, with the help of his predecessor's memory fragment, showed an expression of anticipation and excitement at the right time.

Qiduo smiled slightly, then raised her index finger and said, "One more thing."

"Um?"

Moyu looked at Chita suspiciously.

Qi Duo emphasized: "Don't use honorific titles to me in the future."

“…”

Moyu felt something was wrong, but he chose to be kind.

Then—

Qiduo took the initiative to stir up the topic and chat with Moyou.

said it was a chat, but in fact it was more like a unilateral inquiry by Qi Duo.

Such as…

Has Hawke beat you? What does Hawke usually give you to eat? Will Hawke let you do odd jobs to subsidize your family?

I don’t know how Qi Duo came up with so many questions. He asked from morning to noon, and he asked every detail…

Moyu almost couldn't resist, seeing that it was noon, he quickly used the excuse of making lunch to get rid of Chito's inhumane "care".

However, as soon as he got up, Chito pushed him back to his seat.

"You sit still, I'll come."

Chiduo said in a tone that could not be opposed.

's strong and confident attitude made Moyu once again be kind, sitting obediently in the chair and not moving.

Chito went straight to the kitchen.

“…”

Walking into the kitchen, Chi Duo lowered his head slightly.

The    sheen reflected on the lenses covered her eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Qi Duo raised his hand and pushed the frame of the mirror lightly, and immediately started to cook.

After half an hour.

Black smoke billowed from the chimney on the kitchen roof, and a strong smell of burnt came out.

“?”

Moyu looked at the black smoke mixed with the smell of burnt emanating from the kitchen, and unconsciously flashed in his mind the self-confidence that Kito showed when he pressed him back to the chair.

A two-star incurable disease hunter who specializes in helping people solve all kinds of difficult problems, but can't cook?

Classic setting, right?

Moyou was powerless to complain. He walked through the black smoke and came to the kitchen. At a glance, he saw the unknown object in the iron pot.

Looking down, there was a lot of firewood stuffed in the stove, and the raging flames seemed to break free from the stove and kept spewing towards the outside of the stove.

Qiduo stood by the stove with a spatula in his hand, looking a little overwhelmed.

"I'll do it anyway."

Moyu glanced at Chita and suggested.

"Okay, okay."

Qi Duo left the kitchen in despair.

Not for a while.

Moyu cooked a pot of noodles, the taste is not guaranteed, but the portion is enough.

When dinner started, Qi Duo probably felt embarrassed, and kept eating noodles with her head down, and stopped asking Moyou many daily questions.

This made Moyu a lot easier.

After simply filling his stomach, Moyu went directly to the guest room to clean up so that Chito could feel more comfortable when he stayed tonight.

"After a long time, I was stunned to ask me so many trivial little questions... But the only thing I didn't ask was about "mind". What was the reason for selectively turning a blind eye? "

Moyu lowered his head and thought while sweeping the floor with a broom.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when Hawke comes back."

Swish—

The broom vibrated, and the dust flew in the room.

into the night.

Moyu went back to his room after dinner to practice the basics of the Four Elements.

In the past, he practiced in the atrium, but now that there is one more person in the monastery, Moyou can only continue to practice in his own room.

The night is getting darker and quieter.

Qiduo walked out of the room slowly and came to the release pool in the atrium.

"Really quiet."

Qiduo lowered his head and stared at the release pool.

Ordinary, nothing special.

If you are not "informed", how would you know—

Directly below this ordinary release pool, there is a "thing after death" that even professional hunters have to treat with caution.

Generally speaking, the objects embodied by the psychic person will disappear without leaving a trace with the death of the psychic person.

But read this kind of thing...

Under certain conditions, it will become stronger due to death, so that it becomes an independent entity and continues to exist in the world.

And the so-called "things after death" are actually the special things that remain after the incarnation of "mind" after being poured out by death.

It also has another name: a reading tool.

Because it is something created by "mind", most "mind tools" have at least one special ability.

However, due to the extremely harsh conditions for the birth of a "mental device", there are only a handful of people who can possess a "mindful device".

It is worth mentioning that-

In modern times, rare new psychic devices have been born.

The “mental tools” currently controlled by the minders are basically found in various ruins or royal tombs.

The "things after death" sealed under the release pool were also stolen by Hawke from a ruin somewhere.

It's just that this "thing after death" brought out by Hawke belongs to the type with extremely poor controllability and extremely high risk and threat.

What it can bring is not an ability that may have shined hundreds or even thousands of years ago, but a complete disaster...

"How to do-"

Qiduo looked down at the release pool and his eyes were suddenly cold, and he said solemnly: "Only you can be completely removed..."

As an "informer", she has seen the horror of this "thing after death" with her own eyes, and even unconsciously created a guess—

Is it possible that such a terrifying existence    originated from a dark continent outside the world map, or could it be an unproven disaster?

When Chito came up with this guess, as a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Hunter Association, he should have reported all the known information to Nitro at the beginning.

But she didn't.

Between the "worship" of Nitro and the "selfishness" of the self.

She chose "selfishness" without any hesitation.

because-

At that time, she didn't want to see a newborn baby assumed to be some unknown disaster in the dark continent, and thus be taken in by an international agency.

Chita stood at the edge of the pond for a long time, and finally withdrew his gaze silently, and immediately walked away from the temple.

Came outside the temple, Chita, who already knew the topography of the mountain like the back of the hand, just took a casual glance and determined the direction.

She walked along the steep **** and gradually stepped into the forest.

"Shoot—"

Shuttled through the woods, Qi Duo's expression was flat, and between his hands, a thin line with a faint luster was pulled out.

At first glance, it looks exactly the same as the Phantom Troupe Maggie's ability to "seam the thread".

Theoretically, the ability to read is not unique.

Under equal conditions, two different people have a probability of developing the same mind ability.

However, Qi Duoyu's spiritual silk is far inferior to Maggie's spiritual silk in terms of function and ductility.

The two are not of the same magnitude.

Strictly speaking, the quality and strength of Qiduo’s chanting threads are no different from sutures.

Why develop this seemingly ineffective ability?

If someone asks Chita like that, Chita's answer will only be - I think it will be useful.

Qiduo shuttled back and forth in the mountains and forests, while laying down strips of ordinary prayer silk in every corner.

She is setting up a security net to prevent potential enemies.

The reason why    is so cautious can be said that Hawke has contributed greatly.

"Buzz—"

The phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

Qiduo took out his mobile phone, the caller number was Hawke's.

at the same time.

Inside the monastery room.

Moyu stared at his shadow.

He was thinking—

Is it necessary to develop the ability to "share vision" first?

The recommendation process is on, and it feels like it will be on the shelves soon, so starting tomorrow, I have to increase the word count for the update, so that the word count in the free period is too short... The recommended PK period for each of my books, without exception, is all broken in the same period, Especially with such a niche hunter theme... But my current mentality is quite salty. Compared with the effect of the recommendation period, I pay more attention to the number of updates... I will try my best to improve it in the future. I want to be an absolutely hard-working pig after it is put on the shelves!
