Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 11: Nine escapes

In the restaurant, although the boy no longer needed to deliver food, he still ran around, helping other people deliver dishes and water, and finally got the sympathy of the restaurant hostess, who avoided the order for him.

Finally, the boy waved to the hostess of the restaurant and left with the three girls. While walking on the road, Mercury Xiaohan said: "I always feel that the proprietress of that store is very feminine and stylish. I wish I could look like this when I grow up."

"Xiao Wei still has a possibility, so don't even think about it!"

"Hey, Xiaowei and I are twins, why can't I do what she can do?"

During the journey, the sister of the twins had an argument with the girl next to her.

Behind them, in the restaurant, a woman named Wen Jiao was still leaning gracefully on the bar counter, silently praising herself.

As time goes by, the restaurant comes and goes, changing batch after batch. Unknowingly, there were fewer and fewer customers, and fewer passers-by outside. Until the last guest also left, it seemed that no one would come in again. Suddenly, it began to rain lightly outside. The light rain was not heavy, but it made the last few people on the street start to disperse.

After cleaning, the waiters in the restaurant also went home, and only the hostess who lived upstairs was sitting there alone, with her face resting on her left hand and her right hand twirling the small wine glass playfully.

"Looks like it's another peaceful day!" She muttered softly, her eyes flicked slightly, she sat behind the bar and looked out.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and the coolness of the night seeped in with the dampness from the light rain. The shop doors outside were being closed one by one, the neon signs were fading away one by one, and the street lamps that had been overwhelmed by guests all the time seemed much brighter. The lights in the restaurant began to seep out, intertwined with the street lights, and the continuous raindrops looked like strings of pearls under the light.

"It's you?" The hostess of the restaurant was a little surprised when she saw the person who came in.

"Long time no see!" The sliding door closed automatically, keeping the coolness and humidity out. The person who spoke was a man in his thirties, wearing a black windbreaker, and there were still a few drops of water on the windbreaker. The boxy suitcase in his hand was silently put aside, and he sat down on the round stool that could be rotated in front of the bar, "It's so late, isn't the door closed yet?"

"It's about to close!" The hostess of the restaurant got up and went around the bar, and lowered the aluminum alloy curtains that separated the restaurant from the street, but did not put down the door curtains. Back at the bar, I sat down on the left hand side of the man in the black windbreaker, "Long time no see, Hua Yanwei, I really didn't expect you to come to Luozhen City...for business?"

"Almost!" said the man in the black windbreaker, "I need a little help from you, and then, remind you to pay attention to safety!"

"Be careful?" Wen Jiao asked with interest.

"Do you know that ghost car that appeared in Siming Mountain? It killed many people. The State Administration of Law Enforcement invited several first-class escapists to remove it. I thought it would be easy to catch, but I miscalculated. Its strength, although it severely damaged the ghost car, suffered heavy casualties, and was finally escaped by the ghost car. I was entrusted by a high-level executive to investigate the reason for the appearance of the ghost car and its origin, and found some The clue, it is not a thing of the mortal world at all. At present, there are already signs that the injured ghost car is fleeing here, and its purpose should be to escape back to the underworld. If this is the case, there are two possible targets for it in Luoxuan City. One, one of them is you, the 'Grey World Observer' of this city..."

"Let me think about it!" Wen Jiao said, "Luofeng City, although it is a ghost town with legends from ancient times, but now, basically all the roads connecting Yin and Yang are blocked. Then, If that ghost car wants to escape from Luozhen City and return to the underworld, besides traveling through the gray world, all that is left is... twin sisters who are born with spiritual bodies and can open the 'Blood Abyss'?"

"That's right," said the man in the black windbreaker, "Although I have already notified the high-level government of the clues I found, it seems that they obviously don't intend to warn you. As 'grey world observers', they will never I will interfere with you, but at the same time, no matter whether it is the government or the high level of 'Dongyue', there are people who are interested in 'Grey Vision', a mysterious organization that has existed for thousands of years, has never interfered in the Yang world, and only fights to protect the gray world. The ghost car is really coming towards you, they probably won't make a move, but take this opportunity to observe the reaction of the 'gray vision'. Of course, the possibility of that ghost car coming towards the 'gray vision' is relatively small , the real danger is the pair of sisters!"

Wen Jiao sighed softly: "Just ahead, the pair of sisters came to the restaurant. If Zhan Xu, the head of the Phantom Academy, knew that they were in danger, he would never just let them run around like this. So..."

"'They' didn't notify the academy at all," the man named Hua Yanwei said indifferently, "'They' wanted to use the pair of sisters to attract the ghost car...or the mastermind behind the ghost car incident. "

"The mastermind behind the ghost car incident?" The hostess of the restaurant narrowed her eyes slightly, "Speaking of which, since that ghost car is a thing from the underworld, who exactly brought it from the underworld to the underworld? "

Hua Yanwei said in a deep voice: "According to my investigation, it is likely to be... Shanhaimeng!!!"

…

Shanhai League is a mysterious organization that has only recently appeared in China.

The emergence of escapism probably occurred in the barbaric period before Xia and Shang. It was an era full of monsters. Gained the ability to contend with demons and ghosts. It's just that the spells mastered by warlocks at that time were relatively chaotic and superficial, and the powerful impressions of the various legendary figures of that period in later generations were mostly due to the legendary bonuses brought about by the age .

This situation lasted until the Warring States Period, when a genius called Guiguzi by later generations, based on the "Tao Te Ching" and "Yin Fu Jing" as the theoretical basis, systematically sorted out and summarized the pre-Qin and pre-Qin families for the first time. The technique of the original chaotic technique is divided into nine major systems through the traceable context, which is now known as the "Nine Dungeons", or "Ghost Valley Nine Dungeons".

The nine escapes are: sky escape, earth escape, human escape, wind escape, cloud escape, dragon escape, tiger escape, **** escape, and ghost escape!

After being sorted out by Guiguzi, the method of escape began to flourish, and in the history of China, staged scenes of epic legends. Xiang Yu who is capable of splitting mountains, Han Xin who scatter beans into soldiers, Zhang Liang who strategizes and wins thousands of miles, Zhou Yu who Zhu Rong uses fire to burn down Chibi, Liu Xiu who summons meteorites to destroy the enemy overnight, and Li Jing who moves troops to defeat Turks with five ghosts. Not a master of Jiu Dun.

During this process, Zhang Liang, Ge Hong, Zhuge Liang, Li Chunfeng and others, through their strong academic knowledge, further perfected and supplemented the "nine escapes" concept summarized by Guiguzi. His unremitting efforts formed the brightest starlight in the history of Chinese civilization, and at the same time pushed the Chinese nation to the pinnacle of world civilization. Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!

However, if there is prosperity, there must be decline! The personal strength of the Dunmage Master and his role on the battlefield inevitably aroused the vigilance of the royal family and the court, and it became inevitable to weaken and suppress the Dunmage Master in the Jianghu by various means. First, during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's period of "abandoning all dharma and respecting Confucianism", but it did not have a good effect. Too much participation in government affairs by Dunshu masters created unprecedented brilliance of Dunshu, but it also caused time and time again. turmoil.

It was not until the Zhao and Song Dynasties that the Confucian era began to truly take shape, in which Confucianism determined status and rituals bound people's hearts. The selection of talents was only related to "literary spirit". In terms of defense, not only the method of evasion has been suppressed to the extreme, but even the "shooting", "defending" and "numbering" in the six arts of Confucianism have become empty slogans. Overemphasizing the side of Confucianism that is conducive to maintaining imperial power, trying every means to ban escapism, and continuous concessions to foreign tribes finally created a terrible enemy. The appearance of the Yuan Demon Emperor made the entire China pay a heavy price. ransacked.

The next few dynasties did not learn their lessons. After hundreds of years of hard work, the castrated version of Confucianism finally succeeded in making the Chinese people lose their blood. The inheritance of the brilliant achievements of the Tang Dynasty could not be achieved. And it was at this time that the vampires, werewolves and other heterogeneous species in the West completed their unprecedented self-evolution through a mysterious ceremony called "Renaissance".

Vampires who are no longer afraid of the sun, werewolves who manipulate guns at will, and the banshee El with terrifying intelligence, etc. Ximo, who got rid of their own weaknesses, overthrew the religious authority, controlled capital, and ended the suppression of aliens in the Middle Ages. Breakthrough achievements have been made, and the infinite greed for land and resources has led to the crazy expansion of the West Demon territory, and also triggered a big collision between different civilizations in the East and West... The results are naturally self-evident.

The coalition forces of the two countries under the control of the blood race and the banshee El burned the Old Summer Palace, and the Allied Forces of the Eight Demons ravaged China. A large-scale invasion of China began, and Shenzhou's own demons also took this opportunity to collude with foreign enemies and dance wildly.

China's overthrow and Shenzhou's sinking finally awakened the sleeping dragon. Countless martyrs devoted themselves to the blood and fire of saving China, and in order to compete for territory, the loose Western Demon Alliance also broke out. battle between. After nearly a hundred years of humiliation and the sacrifice of countless people, the children of Huaxia finally succeeded in expelling the foreign enemies and once again established their own country.

The Chinese people stand up! After many catastrophes, the people of China finally dared to announce to the world.

In view of the fact that when the Western Demons invaded, many demons assisted foreign enemies to harm the Chinese people. The first leader of the founding of the country used the most important weapon of the country to form a materialistic barrier under the town of Tianan, covering China with materialistic brilliance. His purpose was only one: to build , Guo, Yi, Hou, Ban, Stop, Cheng, Jing!

In the next few decades, the leaders of mainland China, while taking advantage of the contradictions among Western countries, introduced and reverse-engineered various advanced technologies from abroad, while reviving and developing through various channels, and being able to cooperate with The West has been sneaking into China to carry out all kinds of destructive vampires, werewolves, night devils and other counter-escape techniques. Under the current international situation, major wars are unlikely to break out in the short term. However, small conflicts and secret battles have never stopped. At present, the most powerful Dungeon organization in China "Dongyue" "It was established to fight various monsters with natural abilities in the West, and it is an important resistance force of China on the unnatural level.

But now, on the mainland of China, a mysterious force suddenly emerged that gradually threatened the "Dongyue" Dunmage organization... That is the "Shanhai League"!
