I have no regrets about my 2D world!

However, since Suwako is not considering those things now, Luo Bai is not in a hurry.

"Then I'll leave first."

Luo Bai stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and spoke again.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he left the shrine after seeing Suwako's worried expression disappear.

As soon as he came out, Luo Bai wanted to rush to the place where the message was sent to him, but after sensing the situation around him, he paused.

With a wave of his arm, a breath of air appeared in his hand.

"This is... Qing'e?"

Feeling the origin of this breath, Luo Bai immediately thought of that quirky girl, and his expression became strange.

When did Qing'e come?

Forget it, now that I know she's out, I can just look for her later.

With a slight shake of his head, Luo Bai disappeared.

Shortly after Luo Bai left, a blue-haired girl landed lightly.

"Finally I found you, Abai. You can't run away this time."

The girl muttered to herself and then glanced at the shrine.

"There really is something wrong with this shrine. We'll settle this account later."

Inside the shrine.

Kanako, who had been observing the situation outside, couldn't help but slap her forehead when she saw the girl leave.

broken!

Chapter 23: Luck and Misfortune

Flowers are in full bloom, fragrance is everywhere, the lake water is clear and sweet. This kind of scene is the favorite place of fairies and it is also an area that can make anyone feel relaxed and happy.

But now, the flowers are broken, the lake water is turbid, the fairies have fled, and figures almost fill the entire area, all looking in one direction.

Opposite them, a blonde girl was holding a strange sword and facing them with a smile on her face, without a trace of panic.

Behind the blonde girl, a green-haired girl was lying there with her eyes closed, her body slightly heaving.

If you observe from a little distance, you might think that the girl has lost her life.

The blonde girl faced the monsters across from her and said fearlessly, "Although I may not be able to deal with all of you, you should be familiar with this sword. This sword was given to me by its owner. If something unexpected happens to me, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

The monsters on the opposite side fell silent after hearing the girl's words. Obviously, many of them recognized the sword, or rather, there were very few who did not recognize it.

After all, there were many people of the same kind who tried to get the sword but suffered backlash. Some of the survivors would naturally spread the news, but few people would verify it.

If they saw this sword under normal circumstances, they would definitely stay away from it, but now they had reasons to rather face this sword than give up easily.

"You can leave, we won't attack you, but you must hand over the monster behind you!"

"We only need to eat it to reach the level of a great monster. There's no way we'll give up!"

"If you're unwilling to hand it over, then we don't mind taking action against you. Although we can't hurt you, it's enough to imprison you there."

Seeing that the monsters were unwilling to give in, the blonde girl couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Why hasn't that guy named Bai come yet? Isn't it enough to just shout at him at this sword? I've already shouted so many times. Can't I just shout in my heart? Must I shout it out loud?

But if that's the case, it will be over by the time he gets here. Please, what you say in your heart must be useful!

Although the girl was already very panicked, she managed her facial expression very well without a single unnecessary expression.

"Hehe, this is the person I've set my eyes on to become a Shikigami. If you hadn't come, I would have already signed the contract. How could I possibly hand him over to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from the monster opposite.

"You're just a youkai, yet you're trying to learn how to capture Shikigami like a human. I'm afraid you're hoping to eat her and achieve a breakthrough."

"If you really have the strength of a great monster, you wouldn't be telling us this here."

"Forget it, let's not talk to her anymore. Let's do it quickly. If we're late, there might be problems."

It seemed that the last voice was tacitly agreed by all the monsters, and they all pressed towards the girl.

This made the girl couldn't help but glance at the person lying behind her.

This was a guy she had spent a lot of effort to stake out. He looked like a monster but not a monster.

But the one who was born in such an environment is definitely not an ordinary guy. He will definitely be helpful to her when she collects him as a Shikigami.

Oh, she had heard about Shikigami from a group of guys called Onmyoji in the human world over the years.

If you sign a contract with some monsters and ask them to do things for you, they can be called Shikigami.

She also specially studied the contract and found a monster that seemed the best at the moment, but before she had time to sign the first Shikigami, it seemed that the plan was about to fall through.

If the next person she called had not arrived, she would have to give up the guy behind her.

Just as the monsters on the opposite side said, although they didn't dare to touch her, there was no problem in allocating some manpower to restrain her.

Even if he restrained her for too long and saw that she showed signs of fatigue, he might not dare to attack her.

After all, when she was born, she was no different from the guy behind her, it was just that she ran away because of her talent.

Unfortunately, the guy behind him doesn’t seem to be so lucky.

Seeing the monsters slowly approaching, the girl gradually put away the sword in her hand and dodged slightly to the side.

If you lose your Shikigami, you can find another one, but it’s not worth it to get yourself into trouble for a guy who is not even a Shikigami.

Seeing the girl's dodging action, the monsters all showed excitement on their faces and rushed towards the green-haired girl on the ground quickly, as if whoever arrived first would own it.

The blonde girl seemed unable to bear to see this scene. A dark crack appeared behind her and her body gradually retreated into it.

only......

"If you don't want it, then it belongs to me."

An inexplicable force came along with a chuckle, and the monsters were instantly frozen in place. Then they watched helplessly as a figure walked from not far away, came to the side of the green-haired girl, and then picked her up.

Glancing at Xiao Zi who was also immobilized beside him, Luo Bai looked at the monsters with a helpless expression.

"Hey, didn't she tell you that I gave her the sword myself? I didn't expect you would still dare to do it after all this."

The monsters were silent, and of course, they couldn't speak.

"There are many ways to advance to a great monster, but you chose to provoke me. Should I say you are lucky or unlucky?

Forget it, just consider yourself lucky, after all, the last person killed by this sword was Yamata no Orochi."

As he spoke, a large white sword appeared in Luo Bai's hand. He then held the green-haired girl with one hand and swung the sword in his hand.

The invisible sword energy passed through the surrounding space, and it seemed as if nothing happened.

After swinging the sword, Luo Bai put away the sword and looked directly at the last monster.

"Alright, I'll leave you alone. Go back and tell the others that I'm protecting them. Next time you want to touch them, consider whether you can withstand the blow."

After saying that, Luo Bai ignored her and walked towards Xiao Zi.

Before the monster understood what was happening, he suddenly felt his body move again, and wanted to escape immediately.

There is absolutely no chance of winning if you fight with this guy!

But before he could turn around, he saw something unusual happening in front of him.

All the monsters in front of it, no matter how many heads they had, were separated from their bodies in an instant, but there was no sound and no blood flowing out, and the cuts were as smooth as a mirror.

Looking at a corpse falling silently beside it, it finally understood what Luo Bai meant.

In its impression, no monster could catch this sword, including it.

It was unfortunate because it met Luo Bai, but it was also lucky because it was the only one that survived.

Chapter 24: Kazami Yuuka

Ignoring the last monster's departure, Luo Bai came to Xiao Zi with the green-haired girl in his arms, a playful smile on his face.

"Oh my, let me see who this is.

Look at the shiny blonde hair, the delicate little face, and the unwilling look in her eyes. Isn’t this our dear Xiao Zi?

By the way, how about I tell you some good news? Today we found a little guy with great talent, look."

As he spoke, Luo Bai lifted the girl in his arms slightly.

And Xiao Zi also looked at the green-haired girl as if to cooperate with him.

Damn it, it was me who discovered it, me! You didn't time your arrival, did you?

If you have the ability, just let me go and see if I will hit you... or not...

Um... We can't beat him...

After comparing the gap between the two of them in his mind, Xiao Zi couldn't help but cry out in grief.

She couldn't beat him, and the guy she liked was snatched away. Now her only hope was that Luo Bai would not fall for her, otherwise she would not be able to escape from Luo Bai.

Seeing the dejection in Xiao Zi's eyes, Luo Bai acted as if he had just thought of something and acted as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Oh, you see, I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to untie you."

As he spoke, Luo Bai snapped his fingers, and Xiao Zi's body fell backwards. Then a crack suddenly appeared and caught her.

Just now, when the surrounding space was blocked, the crack she summoned was also erased. Before that, she happened to make a move to retreat into the crack, so she almost fell after the sudden recovery.

After stabilizing his recovered body a little, Xiao Zi immediately distanced himself from Luo Bai and looked at him warily.

"Hey, Bai, did you calculate the time and come here just because you saw we were about to leave?"

After he finished speaking, Xiao Zi stared at Luo Bai vigilantly. If he saw any movement from him, he would immediately open a gap and escape.

As the only member of her race from ancient times to the present, she possesses the ability to manipulate the realm and can subvert everything from the essence of things.

This ability is almost the root of the connection to the world, and it has also derived a spatial ability called the gap.

When she was born, just like today, she encountered many monsters who wanted to evolve by eating her. If it weren't for her special abilities, she might have ceased to exist long ago.

Normally, if she had encountered something irresistible like this, she would definitely run away at the first moment, but because of their last contact, it seemed that Luo Bai had no intention of hurting her, and he even saved her again today.

Although it would have been better if we could have come earlier.

So she also wanted to ask Luo Bai some questions, such as why he knew her name. She had just given herself a name not long ago and had not told anyone, but Luo Bai knew it out of thin air.

And there was also the matter of the sword of Ame-no-Murakumo. Could he really be Susanoo? But in her impression, the legendary Susanoo was a very warlike and evil being.

Although he felt very bad, he did not look belligerent, but rather gentle.

Besides, that was the Shikigami she had been searching for for a long time before choosing! She was still a little reluctant to give up like this. What if after they talked for a while, Luo Bai was willing to hand over the green-haired girl to her?

It’s always good to imagine.

After seeing Xiao Zi quickly moving away from him and asking these questions, Luo Bai also showed a surprised expression.

"How could that be? I came here immediately after hearing Xiao Zi's call. It's just that I was a little far away at the time, so I arrived a little late.

No, it’s not too late. At least I saved you, right? "

Looking at Luo Bai's innocent look, Xiao Zi couldn't believe what he said.

Based on the ability to control space that he demonstrated with that sword strike just now, there should be no place in this country that he cannot reach in a short time.

He was deceiving her.

Unfortunately, as long as Luo Bai refuses to admit it, she has no way to stop him.

These thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, and Xiao Zi also realized that Luo Bai had no intention of talking to her properly, so she did not ask about this matter anymore, but looked at the green-haired girl.

She wanted to know what she had missed, as she couldn't figure out the origin of this girl.

"Well, since you said so, there's nothing we can do but believe you, right?

But since you want her, you should know her background, right? "

"Of course I know." Luo Bai chuckled, then looked at her with some pity.
