Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 25: Underworld

In the next few days, life seems to be slowly getting on the right track. £∝

As a physical education teacher, Yang Xiaohan would take his students to run or exercise on the playground every day, and Nie Chengyan would also run to the dormitory where the twins lived early every morning, forcing the twin sisters and Teacher Xiaohan eats three meals a day, and follows her to the cafeteria to eat, so that these three guys who don't know how to take care of themselves will either forget to eat or eat snacks as meals.

If she doesn't even take care of them, then they are really pitiful.

During evening self-study, Nie Chengyan also searched for information related to "ghost cars" in the library.

——Ghost car: Commonly known as a nine-headed bird, its body is round like a skip, and it is surrounded by ten legs. Nine of them have heads, and one of them has no blood dripping. It is said that this bird used to have ten heads. So far, blood dripping is a disaster for others. Therefore, those who hear it must tell the dog to turn off the lights, so that they can pass through Zeguo quickly.

According to the legend, the ghost car originally had ten heads, but one was bitten off by a tengu, so there are only nine heads left. There are ten necks and nine heads, and the broken neck is dripping blood all the time. It is said that whoever the blood drips on will bring disaster to that family. Because of the sound of rolling wheels when passing by at night, it is called "ghost car".

Although the ghost car is a monster and will bring disasters to people, there is no sign that it likes to eat people, and it especially likes to eat twins.

But Nie Chengyan, who knew a little bit about her friends in junior high school, felt that Ai Xiyue was really serious at that time.

In the past few days, it has been raining every night, but it stops during the day. The rain in spring is like this. It is cloudy and rainy, but it is not to the point where it affects people's mood. During the day, outdoor classes are also being held well.

For Teacher Xiaohan, the students in this class have also changed from surprise and suspicion to acquiescence and acceptance. Occasionally, students from other classes mentioned this matter, and they would help Teacher Xiaohan to speak, and even had an angry dispute because others doubted Teacher Xiaohan's ability to teach. For such a change, everyone was surprised at the beginning, but as time went on, the school gradually got used to the fact that there was a physical education teacher who was younger than all the students, as if this kind of thing was a matter of course In general, there is really nothing surprising about it.

Every time when eating in the cafeteria, someone will see the phantom flower of their school, bring the youngest teacher in the school, and the pair of twin sisters who skipped a grade but their grades are a mess, and enter the cafeteria together. One, always muttering a few words, wanted to rebel against someone's tyranny, but it was obvious that the rebellion was futile.

The pair of "Little Gods of Fortune" are always hung on the waists of the twin sisters, and the teachers and students who have known the twin sisters for a while have gradually discovered that the younger sister is far more cheerful and lively than before a lot. In their original impression, that younger sister, from the first day she entered the academy, was timid and afraid, rarely spoke, weak and weak, as if she would collapse at any time. As for now, although he still doesn't talk much when he is with other people, when the four of them are together, they talk and laugh.

For Mercury Xiaowei's transformation, Nie Chengyan naturally felt more deeply than others. Although she couldn't figure out why there was such a change, but in any case, it was not a bad thing. And she also vaguely began to guess that the reason why Teacher Xiaohan came to this college to be a teacher, or in other words, the reason why Dean Zhan invited him here was mostly to restore Mercury Xiaowei to health.

That is to say, in fact, Teacher Xiaohan appeared here just for Sister Mercury.

Of course, this is just a secret guess in her own heart. As for whether it is true or not, there is no way to confirm it.

Actually...she guessed right...

Inside the dean's office.

The sun shines on the playground outside the window, and in the distance, the sound of students reciting can be heard. A few students who received corporal punishment for some unknown mistake ran on the track and complained. Between the two buildings farther away, a teacher and a student could be seen carrying a table, and a girl Running from the other end, using some kind of escape method, the table floated up gently.

Zhan Xuyue, the dean of the college, sat behind his desk, and the sunlight that penetrated through the window spread out a small parallelogram and slanted squares behind him on the right. On the upper right of the desk, Vice President Di Pengtian was sitting on the swivel chair, holding the handle of the chair with both hands, driving his body around in a circle, feeling very chic. Opposite him, on a long table about half a meter wide against the wall, the boy sat on it, swinging his feet.

"Just like what my master thought at the beginning, Xiaowei's situation is not a neurasthenia, but a lack of soul."

"Missing soul?" Di Pengtian questioned.

"Yes!" Yang Xiaohan began to explain, "According to my observation, although students Xiaohan and Xiaowei are born with spiritual bodies, their physiques are not the same, not only different, but even completely different. On the contrary. We know that even a natural spirit body can only correspond to one of the nine-dun physiques. Xiaohan has a ghost physique, and Xiaowei has a yang-god physique. Shendun is the ultimate of yangdun. Dun is the ultimate of Yin Dun, which is the origin of "Yin Gui" and "Yang Shen". Among all escape methods, Shen Dun and Ghost Dun can be said to be the two most serious ones. Of course, it is true that in history There has been an escape technique that combines the two completely opposite escape methods, the divine escape and the ghost escape, and it forms a system of its own, we call it..."

"Underworld Law Department?" The dean of the college frowned tightly.

"Well, Master said, 'Ming' is the ultimate of Yin, and 'Shen' is the ultimate of Yang. So far, only the Underworld-Spiritual Law System can truly combine the two kinds of divine escape and ghost escape like water. Different escapisms like fire are combined together. The strongest ultimate move of the underworld law system is called "Heaven Prisoner Underworld God", which is said to be one of the few super first-rate escapisms in Chinese history."

"What does this mean?" Di Pengtian looked at the boy.

"The elder sister has the constitution of a ghost, and the younger sister has the constitution of a yang god. Both of them are born with spiritual bodies, but their constitutions are completely opposite. In addition, before opening the 'Blood Abyss', they have never been exposed to escape methods. The current There are indications that at that time, the "Blood Abyss" was opened by the two of them together. If this is the case, it means that when the two of them are together, under certain conditions, a special, The escapism related to the underworld magic system is neither divine escape nor ghost escape, but "underworld magic system"." The boy deliberately emphasized the last four words.

The dean of the college said in a deep voice: "The law of the underworld should have been lost, why did it appear on them?"

"I don't know about that! Anyway, at that time, they opened the 'Blood Abyss', and my sister also fell into it. There were at least dozens of people involved in the blood abyss. I didn't go deep, and all of them were rescued. It's just that many of them saw something they shouldn't see in the blood abyss, and they haven't been able to recover until now. Although my sister was also rescued, her mental state has always been in a bad state. Stable, and less and less talkative, sometimes talking, she will become trance, and this phenomenon is getting worse. In addition, in the days after that, she dared not fall asleep every night, She has a fear of the dark, and is afraid that once she falls asleep, she will never wake up again... In fact, she is right!"

"You mean..."

"My idea is that at that time, Xiaowei was rescued, but in the blood abyss, her soul had been torn apart, and part of it fell into the blood abyss." Yang Xiaohan said, "If Xiaohan, who has a Yin ghost physique, may not have such a problem if she falls in, but Xiaowei has a Yangshen physique, and she has never exercised before. Entering such a place, she was overly frightened and scattered her soul. There was no other way. Although she was rescued back to the human world, part of her soul was left somewhere in the underworld. In the words of the older generation... ... lost his soul!"

Zhan Xuyue and Di Pengtian looked at each other.

"Although this is just a guess, I think it should be true," the boy said with certainty. "Under normal circumstances, even if you lose your soul, you will recover quickly. In fact, it is not uncommon to lose your soul." , when everyone has nightmares or is overly frightened, they will appear more or less. But this time, the soul of Xiaowei fell into the blood, and there is a yin and yang gap with her body. With her own ability, there is no way to let the soul return, so it caused a problem, the soul she left in the depths of the blood, in turn began to 'summon' her. When she is awake, conscious, there is nothing , when she fell asleep, her self-awareness was quiet and her soul was not guarded, and the phenomenon of wandering souls would continue to appear. The wandering souls in turn carried her own yang energy and were sucked by the "she" who stayed in the blood In the past, after a long time, she in Yang Shili would really die, and even if she did not die, she would become a vegetable like Sleeping Beauty.

"Student Xiaowei naturally doesn't know this kind of thing, but she is born with a spiritual body, and she is much more sensitive than others. Because of the fear of death, subconsciously, she starts to be afraid of the dark and dare not fall asleep. Then, the soul The absence and not being able to sleep for more than half a year caused her mental weakness and autism. If this continues, even when she is awake during the day, there is no way to avoid the phenomenon of wandering spirits."

Rubbing my temples: "To be honest, at the beginning, I really didn't expect it to be so serious, but fortunately there is still time!"

Zhan Xuyue said: "These days, Mercury Xiaowei looks much better, both physically and mentally, she seems to be getting better too!"

"This is because the 'Heavenly Official's Blessing' is at work," the boy said, "'Heavenly Official's Blessing' is a special escapism in Shentun, which can increase a person's 'luck'... But according to My master's research, whether it can increase luck is not sure, but it can improve the "Qi" of the person being treated. This "Qi" refers to Yang Qi, Jing Qi, and vitality. After being strengthened, when a person is doing things, his spirit will be more concentrated, his concentration and endurance will also be strengthened, and it will be easier to succeed in doing things, and it looks like good luck. Fu' is the manifestation of the **** of Yang Dun, which is very compatible with Xiaowei's natural Yang God physique, and at the same time protects her soul, so that she no longer has to worry about the phenomenon of wandering spirits. Essence, Qi, and spirit are all obtained After strengthening, it will naturally be much better...but this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure."

"How can we cure the root cause?"

"There are only two ways I can think of. One is to open the blood abyss again, enter the depths of the blood abyss, and find her missing soul..."

"It's too dangerous to do this," Zhan Xu shook his head. "The blood abyss they opened up at that time leads to the underworld. I still have no way to figure it out. Traveling through yin and yang involves a lot of things." There are too many things. Once you enter the blood abyss, you may never want to come back. In addition, it is also possible that the blood abyss does not reach the underworld, but the "gray world" that is neither yin nor yang. In that case, it is likely to cause " Gray Visions' interference with this organization."

"Gray vision?" Yang Xiaohan opened his eyes wide, he had never heard of this term before.

"This is a mysterious organization that has existed for thousands of years. It has never interfered with the affairs of the Yang world. Even 'Dongyue' has very limited understanding of them." Zhan Xuyue explained, "In To some extent, they are more mysterious and difficult to deal with than the 'Shanhai League', but their principles are also very strong...or so strong that they are annoying."

"What's wrong? Isn't it good to be principled?" The boy didn't understand.

"Different from the 'Dongyue' that was established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the gray vision is not only mysterious, but also the people inside are all elites," Di Pengtian said with a smile. One is not a rare master in the mainland of China. Some people think that if the gray vision would break their principles and intervene in the war against the invaders more than a hundred years ago, maybe China would have started to revive long ago, and there would be no need to sacrifice so many compatriots In short, the high-level government is very dissatisfied with the gray vision, which clearly has the power to revitalize China when China is sinking, but sits and watches the people of China suffer from humiliation for more than a hundred years. Even the upper echelons know very little about these things in the underworld and the gray world, so the upper echelon can only let Dongyue and the gray vision live in peace."

"But what exactly do they do?"

"They claim to be the 'Guardians of the Gray World', but as far as we know, all the people in this organization are from the East, and it can even be said that they are basically Chinese. It seems that only in the East can there be a 'Grey World' 'This concept is like blood races and werewolves that only appear in the West. Why this phenomenon occurs is not clear at the moment. It can only be said that our understanding of this world is still very limited." Di Pengtian sat On the swivel chair, spread out hands.

Yang Xiaohan began to understand why the top government officials were dissatisfied with this organization called Gray Vision. In fact, even he was a little dissatisfied after hearing it now. Although he has become a physical education teacher now, he is still a child in essence. Whenever he reads the history of China's humiliation that lasted nearly a hundred years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he can't wait to rush to that era with a machine gun in his hand, and to punish those who broke into his country to burn, kill, and loot. Killing the enemies, and these people obviously have the strength to save China, but they don't care about it, which is really infuriating.

"Opening the blood abyss again involves too many things, especially since we don't know where the blood abyss leads to the underworld!" Zhan Xuyue looked at the boy, "You said What's the second way?"

"Seven arrows with nail heads!!!"
