Incorrect usage guidelines for the magic perimeter

The sun was setting, taking away the last ray of light between heaven and earth. When the first lanterns in the city were lit, Sanmuxu sat on the roof of the rental house and smoked.

There was a dull heat in the air, without a breath of wind, it seemed that it was going to rain.

He smoked the cheapest and most pungent kind of cigarettes, which were the memories of his restless youth.

As the illegitimate son of a wealthy businessman, he once dreamed that one day, that man would come back and take their mother and son home, acknowledge their status, and even pat him on the shoulder and say to him, "Yes, you are my son. "

but.

Nothing happened.

So it's just a child's deepest "extravagant wish".

In addition to his illegitimate child, that playful man has five or six other brothers and sisters whom he has never met, not to mention the children in his family.

How can anyone really care about a child's mood?

Except mom.

Mom loves him.Up to now, Sanmuxu still thinks that her mother is a stupid but gentle woman... She fell in love with her father without knowing anyone just after graduating from university, was deceived into being an extramarital lover for a period of time, and then was abandoned tragically.Although a breakup fee was given, it was soon discovered that she was pregnant by accident and still decided to give birth.

For the sake of the child, the father later gave him a sum of child support, but warned his mother never to come to him again.Otherwise he will turn his face and deny anyone.

Therefore, Sanmuxu's childhood was full of food and clothing, but many things... were not satisfied with money.

The neighbor's children laughed at him in front of his face, the girl he liked told him that his parents didn't advise them to go out together, and those bastards at school called him "wild species"-these Sanmuxu put up with it.But when they started to humiliate his mother for being in the custom industry, the boy hit the nose of the senior who was a circle taller than himself with his fist.The senior staggered back clutching his bleeding nose, calling his subordinates to come forward and beat him up.

At that time, his ability was still very weak, and he could only corrode ordinary paper to the extent that he was beaten to death.

Campus bullying made Sanmuxu suffer enough in his student days. Even in the face of his mother's scolding and tears, he gritted his teeth and refused to tell the real reason.He didn't have much in this world, and he didn't want to make his mother sad.

My mother hopes that he will study hard, and he will always be the top three in the exam.

His mother hoped that he could study a good major in high school, and he was admitted to the business department of Xiongying High School.

His mother hoped that he could have a happy and safe future, so he gave up the recruitment of a professional hero firm and chose to continue studying at a prestigious university...

Then everything changed.

On the day of his graduation from university, he was full of joy and looked forward to the school gate in a black academic gown, waiting for his mother to take a leave of absence from the company to take pictures.In the end, what was waiting was the news that she had a car accident, and the hit-and-run vehicle was actually a delivery truck belonging to her father's company.

Hey, what do you mean by coincidence?

Although the police learned about his background afterwards, they advised him to remain calm.If the biological father really wanted to kill someone, wouldn't he use his own company's car?None of the suspects would be stupid enough to use their own trademarked products to commit murder.

On the face of it, Sanmu Market agreed to the police's kind advice. He finished the final procedures for his mother and thanked the few relatives and friends who attended the funeral.But the person who should appear the most never appeared from the beginning to the end, not even a statement.

At that moment, Sanmu Xu knew the answer in his heart, and the venom of fury and hatred finally swallowed his soul that was enduring grief.

It didn't take long before he found a big boss through some shady relationships and told him his story.

The boss thought this story was boring, but for the sake of him being able to find it, he temporarily agreed to help his ability become stronger, at the price of - the remaining things had to be as exciting as possible.

Sanmu Xu stared at the leader of the criminal group code-named ALLFORONE, and nodded slightly.

"As you wish."

You also know what happened later, he killed his father, chopped up his body, boiled it, and distributed it to the company employees who came to work the next morning.

Since then, he has been in exile.

……

The slender cigarette had burned to the last gray butt, and the wind blowing from the roof scattered countless soot beside the pair of silver-white knight boots that suddenly appeared in the air.

At this time, King Arthur had already recovered his glamorous appearance as a heroic spirit, instead of a sluggish look who had just crawled out of the frying pan.

"Master..." Artoria said to him in a particularly ashamed manner, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It doesn't matter, Saber, the joint attack of the two servants is not so easy to withstand. You have proved your strength by being able to escape unscathed." Sanmu Xu squinted his eyes and took off the remaining cigarette butts, and threw them on the tiles, Stomping on Mars, "Anyway, we have achieved our goal in yesterday's battle."

Seeing the Master did not mean to blame herself. Although Saber felt that something was wrong, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, what should we do next?" She asked seriously.

"do nothing."

"what?"

"Because they have come."

Sanmuxu opened his eyes and looked at the densely packed buildings outside the rooftop and the street where the lights and billboards were gradually lit up. He turned his back to his heroic spirit and showed a slightly treacherous smile.

Ah... You must know that during the years when he fled abroad, he gained more than just arrest warrants.

How do you say that?

Knowledge changes destiny.

[The priest stood anxiously in front of the fireplace waiting for a message from Madam Leia, the snow was blowing outside, and she said that she had a good solution to her brother's self-destructive tendencies.However, the black cat "Bullet" raised by the priest lay down on the armchair beside him and barked softly twice, as if to reassure the owner not to worry.

"boom!"

Ms. Leia rushed into the house with a baby in her arms, her breath still carrying the heat of running all the way, and it turned into white smoke in the cold air.I have to say that she is a dignified and beautiful lady, with blue eyes the color of the sky.

The priest's eyes widened. Although he also wanted to solve his old friend's suicide trouble caused by the temptation of evil spirits, he never expected that it would be solved by the other party's three-month-old child.

"Father!" Leia hastily stuffed the baby into the hands of the black-robed priest, and suddenly it was in the hands of a stranger. The child didn't feel scared, but babbled and stretched out its flesh towards the silver cross on the priest's chest. Huge little hands.

"Miss Leia, what is this child doing to me?"

At this time, Mr. Nidwa, the owner of the house, also rushed into the warm room with four bodyguards. He was also an old friend of the priest for many years.The priest was holding his friend's child, standing there completely at a loss.

That's when Leia yelled, "Throw the child into the fireplace behind you!"

Mr. Nidwa was extremely shocked. He wanted to rush over to take back his son, but he was hesitant. "Old friend, don't listen to my sister's crazy talk—give me back my child!"

For a moment, the priest fell into hesitation.

He once promised Ms. Leia that he would trust her and solve the evil spirit problem on Nedvar together; but on the other hand, facing the tearful request of his old friend, what he held was a living little life ...

The black cat "Bullet" stood up suddenly, and it let out a shrill and ear-piercing cry.

The priest looked at Ms. Leia, then at his friend Nedvar, and finally made up his mind.

He threw the child into the fireplace, and tore off the fireproof cover and iron bolt.

"Do not--!!"

Nedvar roared, his voice was pathetic and desperate, and the bodyguards pulled out their guns one after another, shooting at the mad priest who dared to murder his master's child face to face. 】

The above paragraphs are excerpted from a modern Western fantasy called "The Priest, the Black Cat and the Whiskey".

I believe you have guessed who the author is... Yes, this is the second book written by Oda Sakunosuke last year. Compared with the previous one, which tells the story of a killer who was redeemed in the midst of destruction, Shibukawa Yoshi is more inclined to This book has some religious overtones.

The book tells that the priest who was once a disciple of the Pope was a fanatic cat slave, and had a fierce dispute with his teacher because he raised a black cat that heralds "ominous".In a rage, the Pope kicked the foolish apprentice out of the Vatican and asked him to go out to reflect on his mistakes—unless he swore to God never to raise that demon again.It's a pity that the priest is also stubborn, and has since embarked on a career as a cat slave exorcising demons with one hand the "Bible" and the other hand whiskey...

The background of the story this time is what happened when he visited the private estate of an old friend Nedva. At that time, the wind and snow outside were too heavy, and the car broke down two miles away from the destination. The black cat walked to the manor to rest.

However, when they arrived at the manor, they discovered that Nedvar's wife had died in an accident a month ago.Grieving and blaming himself, Nedvar developed certain mental illnesses, and once appeared in self-mutilation and suicide attempts.But when the priest studied carefully, he found that it was clearly an evil spirit behind it—in order to expel the evil spirit that sucked the pain and guilt in the heart of an old friend, the priest and Ms. Leia decided to stage a good show to deceive the evil spirit Leave the original host.

To be honest, Shibukawa Yoshi never thought that Mr. Oda, such a sullen and nice man at home, is full of things like cats and evil spirits... Before he left, he just sent a document on his mobile phone to Shibukawa Yao, and asked her to write down as much as she could.

Because Oda suddenly remembered that Dazai from another world probably hadn't read his own writing.

He wanted to show that person that even though there was a whole world between them, he still cared about his friend.

Shibukawa Yao agreed without hesitation for too long. She took out the fanatical memory that she had cramped before the final exam of the university, and crazily recorded the contents of the two books in her mind.

【... Huge guilt occupied the priest's heart. He had never been so ashamed and blamed himself. Just now, he personally killed a baby who could have been his godson.

The evil spirit smelled the strong smell of self-blame on him, which was almost indissoluble, and it appeared.

As the old host who had been abandoned, Nedvar let out a scream and fell down.

But the evil spirit doesn't care about this, its whole body is like a black mist, ethereal, like a huge death in a cloak, but that evil kiss is about to be imprinted on the priest's face.

"Meow!"

The black cat "bullet" is like a real bullet. No one can see its movements clearly, but hear its screams. The amber eyes burst out with a frightening brilliance—the incorporeal evil spirit suddenly appeared Can't move.

Seeing this, the priest immediately took out the Bible in his arms, held the cross in his hand, and shouted the name of the Lord.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!"

The silver cross erupted with bright white light, and the evil spirit let out a vicious and crazy roar. It wanted to rush to hurt the priest but was always intercepted by the white light.

Eventually, it dissipated, and the screams lingered in the house for a long time.

…………

Nedvar, who crawled past at some point, knelt down in front of the fireplace like a collapse, his eyes were empty, his fingers were weak and unwilling to grab the iron bolt, "My child...my child..."

At this time, Ms. Leia and Mr. Butler came out with a baby of the same color.

They are smiling.The priest finally let go of that guilt.

"The one in the fireplace is a trick, it's just a real doll." Leia carefully handed the child to her brother, "This is your child. He has been with the housekeeper all along, unscathed."

The man took the lost and recovered child in a daze, staring at his son's rosy and energetic face, tears fell down without warning.

The priest walked to his side without speaking.

"Old friend," Nedvar choked up and asked, as if waking up from a long nightmare, "why does my heart seem to be empty, something is missing?"

"The evil spirit has possessed you for too long, and now it suddenly leaves. This is a normal sequelae. You need to rest in the next few months."

The priest comforted him.

After a pause, he put his hands on the other's shoulders, and the heat from his palms passed through the thin men's silk pajamas to Nedvar's body.

"The blizzard will pass. Everything will be fine, my friend."

...]

Seeing this, Kaoru Shibukawa temporarily closed the phone file, and looked up at the surrounding scene.

This is a Catholic church on the outskirts of Yokohama.

The bricks of the church are arched, and the surface of the blue bricks is engraved with a large number of complicated patterns. The windows are all colored glaze imported from France, and the edges have been fixed.The church covers a large area, with a bell tower and three steeples, and the cross on the top steeple is silent in the wind.It can be said to be a typical Gothic style building.

Shibukawa Yao sat in the front row of the old wooden bench, Jesus crucified on the cross looked down in front of her silently, and she herself looked at the black-haired man who was intoxicated by the wonderful music silently after putting away her mobile phone ——The pipe organ standing on the edge of the wall is emitting majestic and solemn harmony music. Its sound is grand, powerful, ancient and beautiful, and people will unconsciously feel awe after listening to it.

This pipe organ is not the latest electronically controlled pipe organ, but a traditional mechanical type with a longer history. Although it is more difficult to control, it is more meaningful when interpreting Baroque classics.

Oh, I didn't expect to be an idol...to be a professional hero, you have to be versatile enough to play the organ.

Yo Shibukawa knows why Osamu Dazai in this world has so many fans. After all, some girls just can't resist the charm of handsome guys with musical talents.

At this moment, Osamu Dazai seemed to have completely forgotten about the disabled person who needed to be protected by himself, and was completely intoxicated by the magnificent and grand music.

Just the melody of that piece of music...

The girl listened attentively. The emotions contained in this piece of music were like undulating mountains for a while, and a calm sea for a while. However, when the performance reached a certain stage, it suddenly turned into a burning manic flame. Thunder and rain brought the majesty and gifts of the gods.

It was natural for an unfamiliar track name to come to mind, but this was not Shibukawa Yao's knowledge reserve, but Xiao Shi's own knowledge.

When the song ended, the girl asked slowly, "Elijah?"

"Oh... did you hear that?" Osamu Dazai was obviously taken aback, as if an ignorant guy suddenly took out a stack of sci papers written by himself.

"The oratorio written by Mendelssohn." Shibukawa Yao pretended to know a lot about this piece of knowledge, "but you didn't sing the oratorio."

"Is there anyone in the church who is both a performer and a singer? Is there no one around the Lord?" Dazai Osamu stood up and said, standing behind Jesus, staring squarely at the church that was gradually sinking into darkness.

"What's more..." he said softly, "Isn't there Elijah here?"

Shibukawa Yao was confused, and felt that although he couldn't understand this person's babbling, he somehow guessed something.

The word "Elijah" itself has the meaning of "Jehovah is God" in Hebrew.

He was a prophet, a fearless rebel, and God's spokesman on earth.When the country fell into a daze of religious chaos, Yahweh exalted him and ordered him to bring back the glory of God to the people.

Osamu Dazai smiled with satisfaction when he saw that she had realized something.

"The LORD is his God; where is your God?"

"...Sorry, I'm an atheist. I can't answer this question for you." Shibukawa Yao said expressionlessly.

"You're wrong, Miss Shibukawa. Everyone has their own god—it doesn't have to be some illusory existence, but it can also be money, beliefs, principles...even oneself."

Osamu Dazai took two steps back silently, the smile on his face was almost submerged in the shadow on the podium.

"Have you thought about the answer yet?"

Shibukawa Yo: ...

Why did this guy start getting sick as soon as he left Oda-san?Does he really want to protect me?Are you sure you really don't want to fake a psychotic attack and justifiably kill me?

"Haven't thought about it yet? But it's okay!" For some reason, Osamu Dazai's originally depressed mood suddenly rose again, and he cheered loudly: "After all, look——Elijah is here!"

"boom!"

As if in response to this person's remarks, the door of the church was roughly kicked open.

The violent sound scared Shibukawa Yao to look back immediately, and found that there was only one person coming.

The man was wearing a wide cloak, and the electric lights on both sides of the door illuminated his tall figure...especially the shadow of his knife and gun, which was dragged out like the sharp teeth of a wild beast.

The characteristic sultry air before the rainstorm poured into the dim church from the open door, bringing an undisguised murderous look.

Shibukawa Yao's pupils shrunk a few inches uncontrollably, she turned her head suddenly and shouted, "Mr. Dazai... 噫!"

The pulpit was empty.

Osamu Dazai ran away.

Yoshikawa: ...?

Is that how the fuck you are a professional hero?Is it best to throw the disabled protection target to the enemy and walk by yourself?I'm a fake illegitimate meal, how can I offend you!

Wait... illegitimate meal?

Yao Shibukawa suddenly realized that the dog man wanted to kill with a knife because he approached Mr. Oda and dragged him into the chaotic waters of the Holy Grail?Damn it!She's innocent too!Do you think she really wants to be some kind of heroic generator?

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, the girl would almost shed bitter tears in front of the enemy.

I thought you'd already turned your back on the good after becoming a professional hero, but you're still a member of the Devil's Cult!

"Crack."

"Crack."

A man with a gun walked slowly into the dim church, the metal bottoms of his riding boots collided with the old but clean church floor tiles.

"Nice to meet, Lancer's Master." The man's tone was stern, not as if he was greeting her, but as if he was going to cut her with words, "I believe you should already know who I am, I am the leader of this Holy Grail War Berserker—Servant, Toshizo Hijikata."

...So you didn't leave the stage, the deputy commander of the ghost? !

Come on.

Anyway, it's normal to have any problems now.

In the next second, even if Saber rushed out to reward her with a curry stick or Nero suddenly jumped out and stabbed her in the back, Shibukawa Yoshi felt as if his heart was at peace.

"What a headache," she sighed, fingers snapping a hidden button on the armrest of the wheelchair.

"Why do you have to force me?"

In the next second, tiny electric lights and the weird sound of mechanical shafts and wheels came from under her loose sports trousers.

If the earthworker can see through, you can see that the scale-like metal sheets forged from various alloys and the acupoint electrodes are tightly covering all her toes, and then spread all the way up to the ankles, calves... and finally reach the waist to form a stable body. bracket.

"Buzz!" It made a sound of 100% full battery.

Shibukawa Yao stood up from the wheelchair, his trousers were split by the metal bracket, revealing the black device inside that looked like a human skeleton.

This is—Xiao She's exoskeleton armor, which can be relied on for half an hour a day.

Hijikata Toshisan stared at her, as if lamenting the progress of technology, but also as if feeling fearless.

There is still the last link left in the opening steps of this exoskeleton armor.

The APP dedicated to the mobile phone issued a unemotional electronic voice: "Please say the password to open it."

Shibukawa Yao pulled out the pistol that had been stuck in the back of his waist, but kept his eyes fixed on this famous modern heroic spirit in history.

"The flesh and blood are bitter and weak, and the machinery soars."

"Dip-Password verification passed, sound wave verification passed. Have fun."

The author has something to say: Hijikata did not leave the field, he switched to Miki's camp.This is why the latter said "yesterday's combat objective has been achieved".

Private attention! "Father, Black Cat and Whiskey" is a name I picked up randomly, and there is no such book in our world.

The prototype of the story is taken from "The Witcher 3", with some changes.
