Aoyama Nanami also unconsciously perked up her ears, because she had always thought that only the official agents of the Soryu-ya would wear such a gem called the Eye of God.
Moreover, it just glowed and formed a circular pattern that looked like water ripples.
Having worked at the Rabbit House for so long, the girl had naturally seen the Eye of God glow before, but this was the first time she had encountered one so clearly and obviously.
What puzzled Aoyama Nanami was that neither Yin Kongpaimeng, nor Ouluoren, nor this unfamiliar guest showed any surprise at this, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Perhaps I'm overreacting?
It glows, which is a characteristic of this precious gemstone, which is why Boss Yin Kong chose it as the symbol of the Cunning Rabbit House.
Yin Kong, of course, had no idea about the chaotic thoughts running through Miss Catherine's mind. He simply explained to Paimon:
“It’s simple, because this isn’t his Eye of God, but the young master’s Eye of God. It seems that the disciple that Datalia was talking about is you.”
Upon hearing the name "Prince" D'Artagnan, Gin knew that the person before him was indeed the one he was looking for.
"Have you seen your master?"
Gin was somewhat stunned, because judging from Yin Kong's tone, he had not only met D'Artagnan, but also knew that D'Artagnan had taken on one of his apprentices.
"Yes, just this morning."
Upon hearing this, Gin's heart stirred.
At dawn, wouldn't that be the time when his master threw him out of the abyss?
"Master said he hopes you can retrieve him as soon as possible, and then he can entrust this Eye of God to you for safekeeping."
However, since Yin Kong has already met with D'Artagnan, the other party should already know if he wants to bring him along.
He casually tossed the Eye of God over, and seeing Yin Kong catch it, young Gin immediately turned to leave.
He disliked Yin Kong very much, and even though he chose to wipe the slate clean of their grudges for the sake of his master, Dadalia, this was already the limit.
He has no intention of, and absolutely no desire to, have any further interaction with, the other party.
Moreover, he has more important things to do now.
Karasumaru Renya!
The mere thought of that name reignited the flames of revenge within Gin, and this time, without the suppression of the Eye of God, it almost instantly consumed his reason.
However, it was clear that the crowd would not let him have his way.
As Gin turned around, he was surprised to find that Orlan had unknowingly been waiting in the direction where he was about to leave the agency.
"What are you going to do?"
Gin's eyes turned fierce in an instant.
He was already very familiar with the situation he was in when he was an assassin.
Seeing the increasingly intense abyssal aura emanating from Gin, Orloren frowned and said:
"I just wanted to remind you that you made a bet with me, and you've lost many times without paying back the stakes..."
Chapter 237 Refinement
"Have you forgotten? Our bet was that if I win, you have to tell me everything that happened to you before."
Although Ororen was in Yin Kong's team fighting against the Abyss Gate, they had very little time to talk to Daddy.
In fact, Dada Duck was kicked out of the world before it even had a chance to explain Gin's name.
However, even if there were enough time, D'Artagnan probably wouldn't have a very clear understanding of what was happening outside the Abyss Rift.
Under such circumstances, Orloren naturally needed to investigate Gin's movements to confirm that he had not left any trouble for the Abyss.
Gin snorted coldly, clearly not taking those words to heart, and said in an icy tone:
Are you planning to leave me here?
Sure enough, Daddy asked Gin to send the Eye of God over, not only to deliver a message, but also mainly to solve the problem with this guy, right?
Yin Kong has already discovered that Gin's physique is quite special, because he can control the power of the abyss.
Otherwise, even if Daddy had accidentally met and saved the other party, he would never have thought of taking him as his apprentice.
The problem is that while Gin can control the power of the Abyss, he can only control a small part of it.
During the months he lived in the Abyss, even with Dada Duck's help, he inevitably accumulated an excessive amount of Abyssal power within his body, causing many crazy and extreme thoughts to often surface uncontrollably in his mind.
Tartaglia's solution was to use the Eye of God to suppress the erosion of the Abyss's power, but this was clearly only a temporary fix.
Once the suppression of the Eye of God is gone, Gin will immediately become as irritable and dangerous as he is now.
Before long, reason will be completely eroded.
“How could that be?” Yin Kong understood what Tadalia meant and explained, “We just want to check your body. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt much.”
What... what is this?!
Feeling the atmosphere suddenly become very strange, Aoyama Nanami opened his mouth, but then hesitated and stopped.
After all, it's a bit inappropriate for so many adults to bully a child who is not even ten years old.
Of course, Gin's response was much more straightforward than Aoyama Nanami's.
"If you can do it, then give it a try!"
In the instant of his cold laugh, Gin's entire body transformed into a blur, lunging straight at Yin Kong.
At the same time, a short sword that Yin Kong found very familiar suddenly appeared in his hand and stabbed mercilessly toward his heart.
Yin Kong raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing almost instantly that the sword Gin was holding seemed to be the very same demon sword that [Kurabane Onikiri] had wielded back then—
However, the real Tsurugi had already been shattered into dozens of fragments, which Vermouth was diligently collecting.
This demon sword is likely just a replica created by Gin using the power of the abyss, and a scaled-down version of the short sword at that.
Upon seeing this scene, Aoyama Nanami's eyes widened immediately.
Because she never expected that Gin, who looked so young, would suddenly attack someone and hurt them at the slightest disagreement, and that his actions were so ruthless and decisive, which chilled her to the bone.
But clearly, Yin Kong is not going to be hurt by Gin.
He didn't even need to lift a finger; Shinobu had already shot out a rope that precisely bound Gin's wrist as he held the sword.
But the next moment, the short sword that Gin had been holding in his left hand suddenly disappeared and then instantly reappeared in his right hand. With a flash of black light, it severed the grappling hook that was binding his left hand.
After all, it was just a rope made of ordinary materials, so it was naturally impossible for it to block the sharpness of the Abyss Blade.
However, this move does look very familiar.
Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully, as if he saw a resemblance to the young master.
However, Gin clearly couldn't condense two demon swords at the same time, so he could only resort to this tactic.
Dual-wielding?
Ah Ren also showed a slight look of surprise, but that was all.
Because the next moment, she also drew the short knife from her waist—
Surprisingly, in the clash of the two weapons, Gin's short sword, which was of a higher rank, was easily deflected.
This is to be expected. Although after falling into the abyss, Gin went through life and death with Daddy for several months and successfully raised his level to 29, nine levels higher than Shinobu, who failed to break through.
But it is obvious that he is far inferior to Shinobu and the group of agents from the Rabbit House in terms of strength, speed, and combat experience.
The reason is simple: if Gin had a character panel, he would probably be in a state of complete poverty right now.
The only equipment he has is this imitation demon sword, which is probably three stars, at most four stars, and its level is no higher than level 20.
Not only do they have no artifacts, but their talent skills also won't exceed level three.
In comparison, even though Yin Kong hadn't had time to activate everyone's skills, at least they were all fully equipped with four-star artifacts.
Even if the attributes are wrong, for example, Cole is currently equipped with defensive sand, physical damage gob, and healing headgear, having them and not having them are two completely different concepts.
Moreover, Ah Ren's relics are already considered to be the ones Yin Kong put a lot of effort into, at least the main attributes are all useful.
With the added benefits of weapons and combat experience, Yin Kong felt that it wouldn't be a problem for Ah Ren to take on a level 40 ordinary demon in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, once the Mingcao matures in the next couple of days, Yin Kong will find a way to level up characters like Aren to level 40, which will be enough to easily defeat enemies at level 50 or 60.
"Perhaps, we are the odd ones out?"
Yin Kong has gradually realized that, whether in modern times or the Warring States period, "naked" demons and monsters may be the norm.
Even when he's running around naked, his characters' attributes already fit the "hero" template.
Even a renowned demon like Inu no Taisho only possessed a weapon suitable for himself, such as the Tessaiga.
As for the Fire Rat Fur, although it can be considered a treasure, its effect in battles of that level is almost negligible.
Because the relics likely represent the blessings of those four rulers or even the will of Heaven.
The bonus it provides is a game-changer at this level, making it easy for characters to complete challenges beyond their level.
However, just two or three seconds later, as expected, Gin was subdued again.
This time, Ah Ren learned her lesson and tied both of his hands together, giving him no chance to break free.
Yin Kong's gaze finally settled on Gin's heart.
He had already figured it out; Karasuma Renya must have originally kept the cursed sword here. Over the years, even decades, Gin's heart had long since taken the shape of the cursed sword.
Therefore, when he draws upon the power of the abyss, he instinctively forges it into the power of the demon sword.
Chapter 238 Self-Reaping Harm
"Don't be afraid, it won't stop no matter how much it hurts."
Yin Kong tried to soothe young Gin's emotions, but it was clearly to little avail.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it and directly placed his palm on the other person's heart.
As expected, after Yin Kong showed a welcoming attitude, the Abyss Power that had been deeply entrenched in Gin's heart immediately turned its back on him and abandoned Gin, its "wife of humble origins," and threw itself into his arms.
So, this is the power of the abyss?
Because the darkness of the abyss took away his blood relatives, the protagonist in the game actually deeply hates the power of the abyss.
Even when Master K offered to teach him how to guide the power of the abyss, he refused without hesitation.
In contrast, although Yin Kong was indeed very wary of the Abyss, he was far from being so repulsed by it.
He even strongly suspected that Master Ke's suggestion might be a foreshadowing of something.
Perhaps one day in the future, in order to save his blood relatives or the continent of Teyvat, the protagonist will have to change his original views and take the initiative to control the power of the abyss.
Madness, chaos, distortion, eeriness...
While absorbing the power, Yin Kong was also carefully sensing the power of the abyss.
It must be said that it felt more chaotic and disorderly, and more difficult to control than any power I had ever encountered before.
But for some reason, Yin Kong thought of the demons and monsters of this world.
The shadow power they used gave Yin Kong a similar feeling, but it was far less severe than the power of the abyss.
The Barbatos Juvenile Form has already proven that pure Shadow Power is not actually that bad. So, is the same true for Abyss Power?
Pure abyssal power is mysterious and peaceful, but it becomes so elusive, twisted, and chaotic after being mixed with countless impurities.
"If we can find a way to purify the power of the abyss, perhaps we can find the key to controlling it..."
Yin Kong immediately thought of elemental power, or rather, the power of light.
Of course, he has only mastered the power of the rock element now. To contend with the power of the abyss, he will probably need to gather all seven elemental powers as soon as possible.
As he pondered, Gin gradually stopped struggling.
As the power of the abyss within him rapidly drained away, his reason finally returned to his mind, and he gradually guessed that this was probably his master's arrangement.
However, there was still some reluctance in his eyes.
While the power of the abyss may bring madness, the power it brings is real and undeniable, especially for someone like him who has always walked the line between life and death.
Having grown accustomed to being far stronger than ordinary people, it would be difficult for him to revert to being the weak, ordinary person who couldn't even dodge bullets.
Fortunately, Yin Kong seemed to have heard his thoughts.
