The shuttle in the second dimension

　The next moment, dark flames gushed out from Lin Xuan's palm, forming the shape of a knife. As he grasped the handle of the knife and swung it hard, a black knife as black as ink appeared in his hand.

　It was a pitch-black horizontal sword. Its straight edge and blade evoked the kingly aura of a sword and the domineering spirit of a knife. Ancient and mysterious patterns adorned the pitch-black blade, imbuing it with a quaint and mysterious aura.

　This broadsword is the inherent spiritual equipment formed after Lin Xuan's soul was transformed into a physical entity - Destruction.

　(I have posted a picture of what the destruction looks like, you can go and have a look)

Chapter 4: Killing

　If a child about 1.4 meters tall were to hold a 1.1 meter long sword in one hand, the scene would probably seem a bit funny. However, at this moment, no one present thought it was funny. On the contrary, when they saw the child holding the sword, a piercing chill rose in their hearts.

　Staring at Lin Xuan, who was holding the inherent spiritual equipment, the leader's expression was truly uglier. In reality, compared to ordinary children, children with the talent of a sword cutter were far more valuable. It could be said that the two were completely in the same price range. But that required them to be willing to sell themselves.

　If it was just an ordinary ten-year-old child, even if he was a sword cutter, the leader would have believed that he was no match for him. But when he took one look at the two men lying beside Lin Xuan, their lives unknown, he knew that the one before him was not ordinary at all, and could even be described as terrifying.

　"Blood will be shed the first time you appear. It seems that you will be stained with a lot of blood in the future~~~~Destroy them." Lin Xuan murmured as he gently stroked the group of pitch-black blades.

　At this moment, after seeing Lin Xuan summon his inherent spiritual equipment, the leader shouted to the people behind him, "What are you standing there for? Shoot! He's just a homeless child. Even if the sword cutter has this, I don't believe he has so much magic power to resist the bullets. Quick, shoot! If the pistol is not powerful enough, try something else!"

　The leader's scolding seemed to wake up those dazed subordinates. At this time, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that if they didn't get rid of the child, their end would definitely not be good.

　Immediately afterwards, continuous gunshots rang out again, and dozens, hundreds of bullets whizzed towards Lin Xuan.

　However, facing the bullets whistling towards him, Lin Xuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot, making all the bullets miss.

　When Lin Xuan's figure disappeared, the leader kept looking for Lin Xuan. Suddenly, he heard the shouts of his men.

　"Boss!! The kid is right in front of you!!!"

　"What!?" The leader's shouts made him feel a chill envelop him. He had felt this feeling before: the feeling of being embraced by death.

　The next moment, a sharp knife light flashed by, and the leader saw a headless corpse with a neck like a faucet, constantly spraying scarlet blood.

　"Whose body is this? Someone actually chopped off the head. However, this body seems familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before. Ah~~~~~ I remember now. That's my body. I'm already dead~~~~~" With such emotion, the leader's life ended just like that.

　However, this was not the end, it was just the beginning. Lin Xuan walked with graceful steps, weaving among the thirty-odd people. The pitch-black sword in his hand kept drawing elusive tracks, taking away one life after another. Seeing their companions losing their lives one by one, some people began to wail in fear. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan did not give them extra time to wail. In a moment, only Lin Xuan and Maria were left among the thirty-odd people.

　Gently waving the sword in his hand, he shook off the blood stains on the blade. Then, with neither heavy nor light steps, Lin Xuan walked towards Maria, who was kneeling on the ground with a look of astonishment and fear on her face.

　"Hey - Aunt Maria. Originally, I was not going to let you live because you wanted to sell me. However, when I was hungry, you gave me a piece of bread. At that time, I told you that I would repay you. I originally wanted to repay you well, but looking at the situation now, this opportunity has been negated~~~~" Looking at Maria who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly and said.

　As he walked past Maria, he paused and said, "Also, let me remind you, Aunt Maria, your acting is really bad. I sensed your ill will towards me from the very beginning. So, if you do this kind of thing again in the future, remember to hide your ill will towards your target well, at least before you succeed."

　"That's all my advice. I hope you can listen to it." After saying that, Lin Xuan started walking towards the group of children. However, when he walked in, he felt dozens of eyes on him, but——

　“Eee, eeee…”

　"Please, please—no, don't—don't kill me—"

　“Ah ...

　The gazes that fell upon him were not of gratitude, but of fear, as if the person standing before them was not a child of their own age, but a monster in human skin. Especially when they saw Lin Xuan approaching them, their whole bodies trembled even more violently, their teeth chattering.

　"whispering sound--"

　Looking at the fear in the eyes of those children, Lin Xuan curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but no matter how unhappy he was, he would not do anything to these children who were around ten years old.

　Just as Lin Xuan was about to say something, he heard a sudden sound of footsteps. He turned around abruptly and shouted, "Who!?"

　"You're really alert--" Following Lin Xuan's low shout, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

　As the voice rang out, a middle-aged gentleman dressed in black forensic uniform walked in. When he saw the thirty or so bodies scattered on the ground, the man said, "No wonder I could smell the blood from such a distance. So that's how it is."

　"Who are you!?" Lin Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man who had suddenly arrived. He could smell a hint of danger from him. Lin Xuan knew that his current strength wasn't great; he had only just acquired his inherent spiritual equipment and wasn't yet proficient in its use. It was no match for these small fry, but if he encountered a powerful being from this world, it wouldn't be enough. Clearly, this middle-aged man before him, who gave him a hint of danger, wasn't some small-time villain he could easily defeat.

　"I'm just a third-rate killer who smelled blood when passing by and became curious." said the man.

　"For a killer, curiosity is not a good thing." Looking at the middle-aged man coldly, Lin Xuan sneered.

　However, the middle-aged man responded to Lin Xuan's words with a smile.

　"I don't think so. At least I have encountered a good thing now."

Chapter 5 Invitation

　"I am Qingqiuyuan Hina, and I am here in the name of my grandfather to invite the king to the underworld for a chat. Look. Yarn, Chinese website." Gently lifting the hem of her skirt, Qingqiuyuan Hina said with a smile on her face, looking at Lin Xuan calmly.

　"Qingqiuyuan Hui, so~~~" Although Lin Xuan almost guessed Qingqiuyuan Hui's identity when he saw her for the first time, it was only after she revealed her identity herself that Lin Xuan finally confirmed it.

　Both are shrine maidens, but compared to Yuri, Kiyoakihara Ena has more of the gentle and elegant feeling of a well-educated rich lady. In terms of personality, it can also be seen that Yuri tends to be quiet, while Kiyoakihara Ena tends to be lively and playful.

　Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, grinned slightly, and said with a playful look, "Your so-called grandfather is probably the god hidden in the underworld, the owner of the sword you carry on your back - Susanoo."

　"Huh!?" Qingqiuyuan Hina looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. She didn't expect that Lin Xuan knew the true identity of her 'grandfather' and even knew the sword in the cloth bag behind her.

　"You even know this, you are worthy of being a king~~~" Qingqiu Yuan Hui narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lin Xuan with curiosity, as if she didn't know how Lin Xuan knew this.

　"As an 'outsider', if I don't know some local news, I won't know who is harming me if I get hurt in the future." Lin Xuan smiled with narrowed eyes, tapping the armrest lightly. At the same time, he glanced at Amakasu Touma standing next to Seiakiin Ena.

　As if sensing Lin Xuan's glance, Amakasu Touma suddenly felt cold sweat on his back, and kept complaining in his heart, "Hey, hey, hey~~~ Even if someone harms you in the future, it will be those old men in the underworld. Why are you glancing at me~~~ It's very scary!!!"

　"Your Majesty, you're joking. Who would have the guts to harm you? Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't have the strength to do it." He shook his head slightly.

　"This kind of thing - who knows?" Lin Xuan crossed his legs, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a mysterious smile, and said slowly.

　"Okay, sit down first." Lin Xuan said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

　"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the invitation to sit down." As she said that, Qingqiuyuan Hui Na sat down opposite Lin Xuan without any restraint.

　Unlike Seiakiin Ena, Amakasu Touma sat down with a bit of restraint. He had been frightened by the king before him many times. Every time he was with the king, Amakasu Touma felt like he was walking on a tightrope, and the slightest mistake would lead to his death.

　"Tell me, why would Susanoo invite me to the underworld?" Lin Xuan said slowly with his eyes slightly closed, tapping the armrest beside him rhythmically with his index finger.

　｛

　"Ena doesn't know why grandpa suddenly invited Wang to the underworld for a chat. Although Ena calls that existence 'Grandpa', Ena doesn't know what grandpa is thinking. After all, grandpa is a god~~~" Shrugging helplessly, Qingqiuyuan Ena looked at Lin Xuan with an expression that said I don't know either.

　"Is that so~~~" Lin Xuan murmured in a low voice, opening his eyes slightly.

　At this moment, the door that was originally closed was suddenly pushed open, and then Yuri in school uniform walked in.

　Yuri's sudden appearance attracted the attention of everyone in the room. After seeing Yuri, Seiakiin Hina raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Yuri with joy.

　"Long time no see~~~ Yuri."

　As soon as he walked in and heard the voice of Seiakiin Hina, Yuri was stunned.

　"Ena!? Why are you here?" Yuri finally reacted and exclaimed.

　Although she knew that Amakasu Touma might bring someone with him, she didn't expect that Amakasu Touma would actually bring her with him.

　"Grandfather has instructed Hina to come and invite the king to the underworld for a chat."

　"Grandpa~Grandpa!? Could it be that old gentleman!!" Yuri exclaimed and looked at Seiakiin Hina in surprise.

　"Well, Yuri, you're right, it's that one." Looking at Yuri's surprised face, Seiakiin Hina smiled.

　"Why would that old gentleman invite Lin Xuan to the underworld?" Sitting gently beside Lin Xuan, Yu Li asked in confusion.

　'Ah~~ He even called the king's name directly, and sat next to the king so naturally. It seems that Yuri and the king have a really good relationship~~~~Then I feel relieved~~~' Qingqiuyuan Hina thought to herself as she glanced back and forth between Lin Xuan and Yuri.

　"Yuri, do you know Miss Qingqiuyuan?" Lin Xuan asked, looking at Yuri who was sitting next to him.

　"Yeah, Ena is my good friend~~~"

　"Is that so~~~" Lin Xuan responded softly with his eyes half closed.

　"Miss Qingqiuyuan, I accept your grandfather's invitation. I wonder when he will take me to the underworld? And how will he take me there?" Lin Xuan opened his squinting eyes, a serious look appeared on his face, and he said.

　"Grandpa said that if you, Wang, agree, he can take you over right away. He has already told me how to bring you to the underworld." As he spoke, Qingqiuyuan Hina picked up the long cloth bag placed on his thigh, took off the cloth bag, and took out an ancient long sword from it.

　"That guy is really thoughtful~~~" He carefully looked at the long sword that Hina pulled out of the cloth bag, "The sword of Ama-no-Murasakumo? He actually handed over a part of his power to you, and said that he trusts you, or should I say that he doesn't trust you?" Looking at Seiakiin Hina with amusement, Lin Xuan sneered.

　The Ame no Murakumo sword, as part of Susanoo's power, can give Kiyoakiin Ena a combat power far beyond that of ordinary people. At the same time, when necessary, it can also control Kiyoakiin Ena and make her completely obey Susanoo's orders.

　"Your Majesty, please stop trying to sow discord between me and my grandfather. After all, my grandfather is a god, and Ena is just a human." However, Qingqiuyuan Ena smiled slightly, seeming not to care about Lin Xuan's provocation.

　"Is it--"

　Lin Xuan stood up and said to Yuri, "I might be back late, so don't wait for me for dinner."

　After saying that, Lin Xuan thought about Qingqiuyuan Hina.

　"Take me there—"

Chapter 6 Joining

　The dark torrent devoured everything in its path. When the dark torrent dissipated, a deep knife mark continued to spread from the front of Lin Xuan, even extending to the outside of the building. The building was also split open by the dark torrent, leaving a huge crack.

　It seemed that he was not satisfied with the result he had caused. There was no expression on Lin Xuan's face, and he looked very calm.

　"Did you dodge it?" After glancing at the knife marks he had made, Lin Xuan turned around and said to the middle-aged man standing behind him.

　"Kid, you really wanted to kill me just now." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and a serious look appeared on his face.

　"What's wrong? Are you afraid of being killed by me? If so, don't mention anything about recruiting me~~~Uncle~~~" Shrugging playfully, Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.

　"Hehehe - I really like you more and more, kid." The middle-aged man smiled excitedly with a slight grin on his face.

　"Really? But uncle, don't show your love to me. Although I'm still young, my sexual orientation is still normal." As Lin Xuan spoke with sarcasm and laughter, a magical power rose from the middle-aged man, as if he was going to be serious.

　"You're really ruthless with your words, little brat."

　"Is that so? I think I was quite merciful, uncle." As soon as the words fell, Lin Xuan rushed forward and rushed directly in front of the middle-aged man. The pitch-black sword drew an elusive trajectory and slashed at the middle-aged man.

　However, the middle-aged man seemed to understand Lin Xuan's intention and moved the giant sword in his hand to the place where he would kill him.

　"Clang—" The giant sword and [Destroy] collided with each other, and the crisp collision sound instantly resounded throughout the entire building.

　"Kid, it seems that you and I are not compatible. My ability can't have much effect on you." Looking at Lin Xuan, a hint of murderous intent flashed across the middle-aged man's narrowed eyes, as if he really had the intention to kill Lin Xuan.

　"What? Uncle, do you think my existence is disadvantageous to you and want to eliminate me now?" Lin Xuan naturally knew the murderous intent that flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes. After discovering the murderous intent, Lin Xuan directly mocked him.

　"Indeed, I really have the urge to kill you now, but the better you perform, the more reluctant I am to kill you. After all, talented swordsmen are not something that can be found everywhere." As he spoke, the middle-aged man suddenly increased the strength in his hand, as if he wanted to use the advantage of the giant sword to suppress Lin Xuan.

　But Lin Xuan wasn't so foolish as to challenge him in a strength contest. Instead, he gave up resistance and retreated several steps, out of the sword's range. Every time he landed, a small, shallow indentation the size of his shoe sole was created. This was intentionally created to prevent the middle-aged man from dissipating the friction of the ground.
