I am a godslayer, not your hero.

Unexpectedly, not only did she not run away, she even dared to come to me and ask me to allow her to default.

Mingxian thought about it for a moment and used his wisdom.

I figured it out all at once.

"He wants to use the relationship between his creditors and debts to ensure his own safety." Mingxian said to himself.

It's like a person who is being targeted by a gang. In order to ensure his own safety, he directly borrows a large sum of money from major banks for consumption.

In order to ensure that the loan will not be extinguished upon death, the bank will try every means to keep it alive.

That's probably the logic.

Mingxian looked deeply at Hayasaka Ai, feeling deeply moved at how scheming this woman was.

Hayasaka Ai tilted her head, feeling that the other party had a strange misunderstanding.

Mingxian just suddenly said: "Come to think of it, I haven't seen you smile before, can you smile for me?"

Hayasaka Ai: “?”

I couldn't help but wonder why this person suddenly made such a request?

Are you kidding yourself?

However, Mingxian's eyes were clear and sincere, without a trace of joking.

He continued: "Just smile if you want. I want to know what you look like when you smile."

Hayasaka's heart moved, and after thinking about the 40 million yen debt, she nodded.

She looked at Mingxian, and suddenly remembered what had happened during this period of time.

Laughter, tears, setbacks and perseverance.

Scenes flashed by like movie scenes.

She originally wanted to use her acting skills to control the muscles at the corners of her mouth and reveal a perfect smile, but at this moment she suddenly realized that those deliberately crafted smiles seemed unnecessary.

Then the corners of her mouth gradually curved up, and the curve was so natural.

A sincere and warm smile appeared on his face.

So, this is what “laughing” feels like…

Relaxed, comfortable and defenseless.

Hayasaka Ai thought so, and an unprecedented warmth surged in her heart.

click!

The sound of taking photos rang out, and Mingxian took a picture of Hayasaka Ai's smile, then put it away: "Your salary has been paid."

Hayasaka Ai was stunned at first, then the smile on her face became even brighter.

"What a weirdo."

She said this.

Not Agito: Chapter 48: Hours in Hell Begins!

"Ugh……"

Mingxian couldn't help but sigh, and there was an indescribable helplessness and fatigue in his voice.

Outside the window, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkling on his face in patches, but it was unable to dispel the gloom in his heart.

In the Yamabuki Bakery, Yamabuki Saya curled up her lips into a gentle smile when she saw this, like the warm spring sun, warm but not dazzling.

"If you sigh like this, happiness will slip away quietly."

Mingxian shook his head slightly, picked out a piece of his favorite honey bread, put it on the counter, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

"Just a little bit troubled."

Yamabuki Saya gave the change expertly. "Can you tell me what's bothering you?"

Mingxian took the change.

"You may not believe this, but I've been tracking a bird that can transform into a human and fly. I managed to seriously injure her before, but she flew away again."

Yamabuki Saya had already packed the honey bread and frowned slightly, obviously not understanding a word.

But she did not show any confusion or impatience, but thought seriously.

"A woman who turns into a bird?"

She confirmed cautiously, as if afraid that she had misunderstood the meaning of the string.

There was a flash of surprise in Mingxian's eyes, "You know?"

Yamabuki Saya explained, "I heard from Sayo at school before that a few days ago, her sister, the guitarist of Pastel*Palettes, was looking at the stars and saw a bird being hit by flames in the northeast direction."

Mingxian immediately held Yamabuki Saya's hands and said, "Please tell me in detail. This is my lifelong request!"

"You don't have to be so exaggerated." Yamabuki Saya smiled and pulled her hands out, took out her phone, and after talking to Hikawa Hina for a few words, she looked at Hikawa, "She agreed. The meeting place is the baseball field of the University of Tokyo."

"I'll leave now!"

Mingxian rushed out of the bakery impatiently and disappeared into the street like a gust of wind.

Yamabuki Saya looked at Mingxian's receding figure and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She looked at the bread on the counter and said softly, "I forgot to take the bread."

……

Arrived at the baseball field of the University of Tokyo.

Next to it is a piece of farmland belonging to the Earthquake Research Institute and the Agricultural College.

Hikawa Hina was standing in front of the baseball field. She was a girl with blue hair and green eyes, like an elf walking out of the morning light. Her short blue hair was like tender leaves in early spring, gently falling on her tender shoulders. There were small braids tied on both sides, like a green vine wrapped around the girl's neck.

She wore a white shirt on the upper body and a blue plaid jacket on the outside. The color of the jacket seemed like a dream intertwined with the ocean and the sky. She wore slim-fit jeans on the lower body, outlining the lines of her long legs.

"Here, here!"

She waved gently at Mingxian, and her whole appearance was lively and cheerful.

Mingxian walked over and the two exchanged greetings.

Afterwards, Hikawa Hina said, "Actually, I've been looking for a UFO. The one that was hovering in the sky before must be a UFO. Just one look at it makes my hair stand on end!"

Her voice is clear and pleasant, like the gurgling of a mountain stream, or like the melodious music floating in the morning breeze, which can lift people's hearts.

But Mingxian had lost interest.

Because, according to Hikawa Hina, the birdman who was shot down was not Shina Touhiko but someone else.

First of all, the direction is wrong.

Secondly, there was no strong wind, but instead golden flames could be seen.

Hikawa Hina thought it was an alien with feathers that looked like a bird.

"What's the matter with being hit by fire?"

To play a string or to ask a question.

Hikawa Hina put her hands in front of her, looking excited, and even closed her eyes, as if she was recalling something: "A pillar of fire suddenly rose from the ground and knocked the golden alien down."

A pillar of fire rising from the ground.

Was it caused by Oyama Tsunami using the sword of Kagutsuchi?

Mingxian's heart moved slightly, and he pieced together the truth of the matter.

The sword of Kagutsuchi should be a sacred tool used by psychics in Japan. It was taken away during the battle with Oyamatsumi. Afterwards, Oyamatsumi used some kind of spell or method to infuse Kagutsuchi's divine power into the sword and strengthen its own power.

Unfortunately, Ooyama Tsumabuchi still couldn't beat him.

Even the sword of Kagutsuchi was devoured and refined into the [Flame Saber].

Hikawa Hina said happily: "This is a battle between aliens and underground people!"

Ming Xian: “…”

Didn't guess a single word!

"No, that Flame Pillar is actually a god, and the one flying in the sky should be the Onmyoji." Mingxian explained.

Hikawa Hina looked at him in confusion.

Mingxian held a business card between his index and middle fingers and handed it to Hikawa Hina, "Trust me, I'm a professional."

After looking at the business card, Hikawa Ricai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! It's up!"

What is Lu?

Hikawa Hina's little hand grabbed Mingxian's hand and excitedly pointed to the forest and hills next to the baseball field, "Okay, let's rush to the shrine and catch the Onmyoji!"

Ming Xian: “…”

Is this person a little bit insane?

Wait a moment.

Hikawa Hina, isn't she the president of the astronomy club in Yugaoka?

Isn't he just the former president of a certain sneaky company who wants to become a human?

Without time to think, the girl pulled him and Mingxian to Nezu Shrine.

Nezu Shrine, an ancient shrine said to have been founded by Yamato Takeru 1,900 years ago.

Its main hall is a wooden building carefully constructed by the fifth shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in 1706. The main hall, coin hall, worship hall, karaoke gate, wall and tower gate all reveal the vicissitudes and thickness of history and have been designated as important national cultural heritage by the Japanese government.

Stepping into the shrine, it feels like traveling back to an era when many scholars and writers gathered here.

The "Resting Stone of Literary Masters" in the courtyard witnessed the inspiration of literary masters such as Natsume Soseki.

April is the season when rhododendrons are in full bloom.

Inside and outside the shrine, patches of gorgeous rhododendrons are like burning flames, making this ancient land look particularly enchanting.

Hikawa Hina took Mingxian's hand and set out on the long shrine path.

The moment Mingxian stepped onto the shrine path.

At that moment, it seemed as if something fragile was suddenly shattered.

That is a barrier.

The barrier that makes people subconsciously stay away is like a fragile eggshell that is ruthlessly crushed without warning.

The interior of the shrine is like a painting torn by time, unfolding before our eyes.

The ground was covered with rubble, the trees by the front door had long since turned to charcoal, and the main hall of the shrine had a huge crack that went straight down from the roof, cutting the ancient building into pieces.

"who are you?"

Toba Riuna turned her head suddenly, her eyes like sharp swords, and looked vigilantly at the two people who broke into the shrine.

Next to her was a stone pillar.

There was a person inside the five-meter-high stone pillar. It was a man wearing a Western skirt. Most of his body was trapped in the stone pillar, with only one hand and half of his face intact.

"It's amazing! I don't know what's going on, but it's amazing!" There was a bright light in Hikawa Hina's eyes, and she was excited about everything that was happening before her eyes.

She doesn't understand.

That's why it's interesting.

Ming Xian simply raised his hand, and a cluster of red flames ignited: "Did this sacred flame tool originally belong to you?"

"So we are from the same business as each other." Li Yuna breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, it is indeed our Fire Xuanbi Divine Sword. How did it end up in your hands?"
