Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

"Water Breathing Type II Waterwheel"

The illusory figure's internal energy surged, and the sword was raised. The sword's momentum rose, bringing with it a water-like energy, and it slashed forward. The body then rolled in the air, the blade drawing a circle in the air, and the sword's momentum connected with it.

The beginning and the end are connected; the beginning is also the end!

This waterwheel sword technique is perfectly fluid, like a snake with its tail, integrating the sword's power into a flawless whole!

After the delay was completed, the phantom image withdrew its attack again, and a moment later, it attacked once more.

"Water Breathing, Form 3: Flowing Dance!"

Above the water's surface, the phantom began to move rapidly. This move, Flowing Dance, was both offensive and defensive, making the most of the characteristics of flowing water.

Moving the body at high speed like flowing water is both a sword technique and a movement technique, possessing both the swiftness and agility of flowing water and the all-pervasive sharpness.

Wherever it passed, it left behind several afterimages of watery aura. Between the real and the illusory, it could unleash extremely terrifying destructive power!

After the demonstration of these three sword techniques, Genda River's gaze remained unsettled for a long time.

Although he had watched Demon Slayer and knew the power of its sword techniques, the profound shock he felt when they actually appeared before his eyes and were within reach still left him deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time.

In reality, ordinary people can get extremely excited when they hold a real gun, because holding something that can easily decide the life or death of others will cause a special change in their hearts.

But this is just a gun. If, like Genda River now, one brings the abilities of the extraordinary world to their doorstep, the excitement that surges within them is something that firearms simply cannot compare to.

"This is quite a surprise! After Tomoko's deductive abilities improved, she deduced three sword techniques in one go! The entire Breathing of Water technique only has eleven sword forms."

Although this time the Sophon repair did not shorten the deduction time, the deduction ability was enhanced to an epic degree.

Originally, each deduction could only deduce one sword move, but now, he can directly deduce three moves, tripling the efficiency. It was worth all the effort he put in, and he perfectly concluded this case.

Zhi Zi smiled and said, "This world is really interesting, especially these detectives. It seems that the host made the right choice in becoming a detective. I've recovered three percent of my computing power so quickly, which was unimaginable before."

The amount of spacetime energy required to repair her system is enormous. She originally thought that even repairing just one percent would require the host to work for a very long time.

But now, in just a short time, more than three percent of the damage has been repaired, which has truly surprised and delighted her.

"This is all thanks to your help. If it weren't for Tomoko's scanning, I wouldn't have been able to easily locate the listening device and discover Morita Sakae's unusual behavior."

When Yuan Dachuan was at Lichuan's house, the reason why he was able to find the hidden listening device so easily was largely due to Tomoko's help.

Another thing that Tomoko noticed was Morita Sakae's abnormality.

This is what makes Zhizi so terrifying. Within her surveillance range, nothing can escape her notice. It's like a divine sense in a fantasy novel, capable of expanding outwards from the host and detecting most of the data.

This includes a person's heartbeat and breathing, which allows for lie detection.

Morita Eiji was quite cunning. He tried his best to minimize his presence, and in fact, he succeeded. Apart from himself, even Shinichi Kudo ignored his existence and did not suspect him.

However, it wasn't that he wasn't perceptive enough, but rather that he had too little time, and the appearance of Gendagawa aroused his competitive spirit. All these factors led to the later result, which can be considered a coincidence within a coincidence.

The girl in Hanfu, transformed from Tomoko, couldn't help but smile sweetly:

"This is all I should do. Now that I have the breathing technique and the sword skills, I should be able to start training, right?"

Genda Kawa shook his head: "No, no, now is not the time to cultivate. I need to watch it a few more times, to see all the details clearly, before I can begin cultivating."

He didn't rush into practicing. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. If you really want to become a master at something, you need to be meticulous about the details.

It's like playing a game. For true gaming masters, games aren't just for playing; they're something that needs to be carefully honed.

Details on the map, the time it takes to travel from one location to another, the cooldown times of various skills, and how much damage each skill will deal under what circumstances.

These skills even require meticulous breakdown and training, scrutinizing every single detail, to become a master.

If it's just for the fun of playing games, then only novices or amateurs would do that, and that's the absolute gap between them and professional players.

Genda River did the same. He watched the image of the phantom swordsman activating his sword a hundred times in great detail, and then studied it dozens of times from various angles, including the posture behind the phantom swordsman, before he actually began to practice.

He took out a long knife that he had prepared beforehand. Although it was called a knife, in reality, in Japan, swords and knives are not distinguished; it could be called either a knife or a sword.

In fact, Japanese knives possess the characteristics of both swords and blades, with long, curved blades that make them extremely deadly and terrifying weapons.

Although this knife is not a famous one and is not sharpened, it is perfectly adequate for practice.

He walked into the courtyard and slowly stood still, relaxing completely. His mouth and nose moved, and his water breathing slowly circulated. A large amount of oxygen, carrying a slight coolness, rushed into his lungs, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He then exhaled, and immediately the long sword in his hand moved.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Terrifying Killer

Breath surged from his mouth and nose like turbulent water, propelling his body, which in turn transmitted the force to his arms, forming a closed loop. Then, his hands, gripping the sword, naturally launched a slash!

The long sword flashed in the air, its blade slicing horizontally, leaving a silver line in the night before disappearing without a trace. It was the first form of Water Breathing, Water Surface Slash!

Although it was only the first time practicing swordsmanship, or even the first time holding a sword, a special sense of familiarity welled up in my heart, and I immediately slashed out.

Then he began to practice this first move diligently, not only practicing this move, but also trying to adapt himself to the weapon in his hand.

Weapons are extensions of the hands and feet, but using these extended hands and feet well is not easy. A lot of practice to find the feeling is more important than learning any moves.

He first slowly swung the longsword, feeling its weight, and then gradually adjusted his breathing to allow his arm to fully adapt to the weight of the sword.

The muscles in his arms began to tighten little by little, and the large amount of oxygen flowing into his lungs was being transported into his body, allowing him to gradually accelerate the slashing motion of his longsword.

The feeling of holding a longsword is completely different at different speeds.

At low speeds, many movements that are easy to perform become completely different once the speed increases. The discomfort caused by high speeds can put a significant strain on the wrists and arms.

He swung his sword repeatedly, then adjusted his breathing to quickly adapt to these changes.

"call--"

Take a deep breath, and white steam will exhale from your mouth, like the steam that comes out of a boiling kettle.

"My body has completely adapted to the weight of the longsword, thanks to the breathing technique. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of time just to get used to it."

In the courtyard, he stood still, the silvery moonlight shining on him, like a sculpture, with only the breath from his mouth and nose fluttering between his nostrils like a miniature hurricane.

Suddenly, he flipped his wrist, and his aura surged forth like a turbulent current.

Water Breathing is the gentlest of all breaths, and even the demons slain by it praise it.

However, water breathing is by no means the weakest; in fact, it can be said that water breathing has the greatest potential among the five basic breathing techniques.

It is the most balanced; turbulent water is a surge, while gentle water is all-pervasive.

The highest virtue is like water, which benefits all things without striving. If we truly make good use of the power of water, its influence should not be underestimated.

Under the moonlight, the sword light flashed like shooting stars as it practiced three sword techniques: Water Surface Slash, Waterwheel, and Flowing Dance, which were continuously executed.

Although there are only three moves, each move is incredibly versatile. These sword techniques, honed over thousands of years of fighting against evil spirits, are truly exquisite.

There wasn't a single superfluous element; every move was a relentless barrage of deadly attacks.

Just then, Tomoko, who had been silently watching Genda River train, suddenly spoke:

"Host, be careful! Someone has illegally trespassed onto the villa grounds!"

Genda River, who was fully immersed in practicing his swordsmanship, was startled, but quickly regained his composure.

A person's maturity is never determined by age, but by the things they have experienced.

Although Gendagawa hasn't handled any major cases recently, his mindset has actually undergone a significant change without him even realizing it, after acquiring Tomoko and learning the breathing technique.

People who enter in this way are clearly not good people; it's almost certain they are enemies.

Moreover, judging from the nature of Da Mi Hua (a type of rice cake), there's a 90% chance that the person who comes is there to kill him.

But for some reason, at this moment, he felt surprisingly calm, without any fear or apprehension, as if it were just an extremely ordinary thing.

Even he himself was terrified by his own calmness at that moment.

He stood there with the knife in his hand, because the newcomer only had a short knife and no gun. At this point, running away was useless; the best option was to actively fight back.

This is my first real battle since I came into this world.

A thin man appeared in his field of vision. The man had already seen Gendagawa, and when he saw Gendagawa standing there with his sword in hand, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

In the darkness of night, a stranger suddenly appears in your courtyard.

That alone would be enough to terrify most people, let alone the fact that he also had a short knife in his hand.

But this high school student seemed to have been waiting for him all along. Under the moonlight, his eyes shone brightly in the silvery glow, and he quietly watched him.

"Kid, you're quite a surprise. It seems what I thought would be a simple task might turn out to be a bit more complicated. But the more complicated things are, the more excited I get."

He was small and thin, with his body slightly hunched over, like a cheetah poised to pounce. A faint red light flickered in his narrow eyes.

"A murderous aura, a chilling murderous aura!"

In an instant, Genda felt the hairs on his body stand on end, just like the feeling of a wild beast when it encounters a predator.

In the realm of the mind, Zhizi's expression changed.

Killing intent is actually a very mysterious thing; it is an aura or temperament, or even a smell, something that exists because of killing.

Although the instruments couldn't detect it, now that it possessed some human emotions, Tomoko could genuinely feel the presence of murderous intent.

"Such a terrifying killing intent is definitely not something an ordinary assassin could possess. This person is terrifying!"

At this point, no matter how anxious we were, there was nothing we could do.

She can provide support, but she cannot fight in place of Gendagawa; now Gendagawa has to rely on himself.
