When Does This World Have a Blood Bar Displayed?

   Chapter 103 Temporary Residence

   Gu Mo felt very resentful, why was he considered a monster?

   Could it be that because he possesses demon power and exudes a demonic energy, has he ever experienced the transformation of a demon? This is definitely discrimination. If it is judged by this, is it too superficial, like assuming someone's gender through appearance, not free at all!

   Skillfully punched in his heart, but on the surface he looked serious. Gu Mo held his chin in his hand and pondered, pretending to think seriously about this issue.

  “…”

  “…”

   The shrine maiden sitting on the mat didn't rush, just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

Kikyo subconsciously thought that the other party was a half-demon. After all, although the fluctuations and aura of the demonic power and demonic energy were obscure and restrained, they could not be completely hidden after all. Gu Mo happened to have such characteristics...especially the strongest one with a keen sense of perception. For a shrine maiden, this is a conspicuous presence like a torch in the dark night.

   Although the other party's appearance is completely human, and there are not many characteristics of the monster, but the situation of the half-demon is inherently different, and it is a heresy between humans and monsters.

The situation of this group itself is quite special, and it is not that there are more special cases in this special case, so she did not suspect that there is nothing, but based on the fact that the demon is more essential than the appearance and appearance gas, made such an inference.

   And a half-demon, wants to use the power of the four soul jade fragments...

What could    be for? Often there is only one reason.

   As if thinking of something, the witch lowered her eyes slightly, her delicate face was hidden by the shadow of the smooth Ji-hair style bangs, and she could not see her specific expression at the moment for a while.

   At this time, Gu Mo looked around strangely. He always felt that there was a chill in the air for no reason, but if he felt it carefully, it seemed to be his own illusion.

He was a little puzzled, but he didn't bother too much, but shook his head and said, "Is it becoming a complete monster? Actually, I haven't thought about such a thing, I just feel that I need its power now, it can deal with I was helpful...well, that's all."

Obtaining the Jade Fragment of the Four Souls was just an accidental episode for him. He didn't specifically seek its power before, so naturally he didn't think about relying on this thing to become a complete monster, because it didn't. What special meaning, he will not deliberately pursue this.

   After all, strictly speaking, the power of youkai transformation is at his fingertips, but it is only through the combination with the guardian spirit that the "synchronization rate of 400%" has been obtained several times.

It's just that he didn't do it, he didn't deliberately pursue it, but held the mentality of letting nature go... Because in theory, there are actually many choices he can make - in the last world, he even had The chance to be promoted to a god, even if there is nothing to show off, even in a sense, that kind of promotion is simply shameful.

   But that undoubtedly shows one thing, his options are not so limited. Even if it is impossible to wait for the strongest, best, and most cost-effective opportunities, he can take his time and see as many possibilities as possible, some paths and directions for him to choose, and he does not need to In a hurry.

   It can only be said that as a real player, he is undoubtedly a very qualified fourth natural disaster in terms of holding the mentality of the Raiders towards the game.

   "Is that so... haven't you thought about it yet?"

   Kikyo looked up at his face, and after a while, nodded lightly.

   In this case, it is not too serious, because the obsession with the jade of the four souls is not too heavy or too deep, it is the kind of situation that just happens to be used. He did not place his long-cherished wish, his pain, and his deepest unwillingness on jade.

  The so-called desireless is rigid. If the idea and usage of jade are relatively simple, and there are no obvious flaws in the mind, it is understandable that they are not bewitched by jade at this stage.

   But it is only limited to this stage. She thinks that this half-demon is probably very confused at the moment. He may not have made up his mind to use the power of the Four Soul Jade to transform, but it is estimated that he will still embark on this path in the future.

   After all, they are in the middle ground between humans and monsters. The life of a half-demon is often an extremely sad experience, being bullied by monsters, and being feared and attacked by humans, a gray area that neither side recognizes. In difficult situations, people will seek transformation and a way out. This is the instinct of all life.

   "The Jade of the Four Souls... It's actually not a good thing."

  The shrine maiden pondered and spoke in a cold voice——

"Maybe you don't have any problems now, but if you continue like this, you will only go astray. Jade's malice will make you polluted by evil, and you will in turn deepen Yu's malice, and eventually your own four souls will be destroyed. Twisted into a warped spirit that violates the laws of nature..."

"Oh."

  Gu Mo nodded at this and made a very perfunctory syllable. Said that he heard the admonition of the other party, but only heard it.

  “…”

  “…”

  Although the era was different, Kikyo didn't know that some people in later generations hated responses like "Oh" and "Haha", but it didn't prevent her from feeling the same at this moment, and she couldn't help frowning her slender eyebrows.

   This person didn't pay attention to the question he said at all, and although he was very cooperative and frank just now, he was only cooperative and frank on those issues, at least now it seems that he does not intend to give up the jade of the four souls.

   But this is also normal, she pursed her lips, wisely stopped the following words, and did not continue to speak. Because everyone has their own ideas, especially when they meet each other by chance and have never known each other... Under such circumstances, it is difficult to expect his words to have any weight to him.

   "Cough, Kikyo, don't worry, I will definitely not be deceived by the power of jade. I am actually very confident in this regard."

  Gu Mo looked at the witch's frown, and seemed to understand her worries, so he hurriedly coughed and looked straight into the witch's dark eyes, and said in such a vibrating voice.

  “…”

  “…”

   Being called out by name again, Kikyo's expression was a little unnatural, but she didn't bother about it, but sighed in her heart. The guarantee of the other party was nothing to her, and she couldn't believe it. Perhaps at this time, this person was not lying, and indeed thought so.

However……

   There are many forerunners who have hated on jade's maliciousness, and she also had this idea in the beginning, and even she herself did not escape in the end.

   hesitated for a while, and the witch said softly, "I hope so, but if you can, can you show me the shards... Don't worry, I'll just have a look."

   As if she was worried about causing misunderstanding, she seriously added a sentence later. Although her tone did not seem to have changed in particular, and her voice was as cold and calm as before, there was a peculiar power that seemed convincing.

  Gu Mo blinked at this, but still nodded cheerfully: "This is fine."

He knew that his way of coping was very effective. Kikyo is a person with this kind of personality. He is not an enemy, nor is he an irrational bloodthirsty monster... But he is not an enemy, nor a friend, and the relationship between them is still very unfamiliar. But it happened to hold the jade fragment of the four souls.

   There's not much she can do...

  Especially after Gu Mo expressed that he did not want to give up the fragments of the Four Soul Jade...

Looking at the foreigner on the opposite side, he took a few steps forward without hesitation, stretched out his hand to himself, his palms were flat, his slender fingers were spread out, and a piece of jade lay quietly in his palm, and Kikyo was silent for a while. For a moment, he took a deep look at each other.

   She did not continue to say anything, but also stretched out her slender fingertips and gently twisted the fragment.

Gu Mo lowered his arms indifferently. He was not worried about Kikyo, she was not that kind of person, and there was indeed a huge gap in the real combat power between the two sides. If she really had that kind of plan, she felt that she had the upper hand, so why bother Talk to yourself so much?

  By the way——

The words he just said were actually just words, they were selfish thoughts, and he had no absolute certainty. After all, this jade is indeed very evil, and he himself treats it with the attitude of a double-edged sword. , if something really happens, it needs to be considered and dealt with.

   Now it is rare to have a free master who can help you check it, of course, you should seize this opportunity firmly.

   Kikyo didn't delay much. She pinched the jade fragments between her slender fingertips, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.

   "Do you know... what does the "Four Souls" in the Jade of Four Souls represent? "

"Well, let me think about it... It seems that there are four souls, such as wild souls, and souls, strange souls and lucky souls. They are respectively responsible for courage, kindness, wisdom and love, and not only the human heart is composed of four souls, but everything is like this. ?"

  Gu Mo stretched out his fingers and scratched his cheeks. After recalling for a while, he said so.

"Roughly right, the basic element of the heart is a spirit, and a spirit is composed of four kinds of souls, and the amount of each soul will increase or decrease due to the actions of the holder... Under the normal operation of the four souls One spirit is called the straight spirit, which can be consistent with the laws of nature, and the one that suffers from evil contamination is the curved spirit."

  The witch nodded calmly and said so.

She looked away from Gu Mo's face and stared at the fragments in her hand: "The power of the Four Soul Jade is like this, it can affect the four souls of people or monsters, affect their hearts, and bring powerful power. ...and the curse, the more you depend on its power, the more the curse bears will be equally heavy, until it is eternal."

   "Oh." Gu Mo nodded and continued to make such a flat voice, indicating that he heard it.

   But then he asked curiously: "Then what is the situation with this fragment of mine now, is it contaminated by evil?"

   "...Not polluted by evil, but it's not clean." Kikyo looked at him calmly, and at this moment, the fragments in his hand suddenly glowed with a clean light.

   In the next second, the entire fragment became crystal clear, and the pink jade seemed to be clearer.

Although it was pink before, when compared before and after, the fragments in the witch's hands at this moment are transparent without any impurities, while the ones in Gu Mo's hands were black in the powder, but they were not very clear. Obviously, it belongs to the conclusion that the comparison is made after the comparison is now made.

   "Ah? Why?"

   Gu Mo was a little surprised, he really didn't feel Yu's bewitching... Or was he still careless, Yu's bewitching was actually going on unknowingly.

The    shrine maiden shook her head, but instead of responding immediately, she handed back the jade fragments.

Gu Mo hesitantly stretched out his palm to take it, and the pieces of jade fell into his palm. The moment it just fell, maybe the moment of life and death when it touched the skin of his palm, the pieces were purified by the witch. , in an instant, it was dyed with a layer of black gas, and it returned to the previous state from clear and transparent.

   There is black air in the clarity. At first glance, it is pure and crystal clear, but it contains vague impurities.

   is not particularly obvious, and it is difficult to see if you do not compare carefully.

  “…”

  “…”

  Gu Mo's face also turned black all of a sudden, he felt that he was deeply slandered from the soul level.

   You are obviously a moral role model with a pure heart, and your whole body is exuding the brilliance of humanitarianism! There must be something wrong with this piece of debris to have this level of prejudice against yourself!

"Your Desolate Soul and Harmony Soul seem to be in an absolute state of equilibrium..." The shrine maiden looked at him with a strange gaze, "It should be because of this situation, so in your hands, Yumian It does not completely turn to the side of the wild soul, nor is it completely the embodiment of the soul, it is constantly being purified in your hands, and it is constantly being dyed black."

   didn't get better, but it didn't get worse either.

  Arabic Soul and Harmony Soul, in an absolute state of equilibrium? Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. Could it be because of the guardian spirit of one body and two sides?

  “…”

  “…”

   There was a brief silence in the room. The witch was quietly looking at the half-demon in front of her, while Gu Mo was frowning and thinking about something. The two didn't speak, and the air naturally became silent.

"Since that's the case, it should be a good thing..." After a while, Gu Mo said with some uncertainty, he gently closed his fingers, grasped the fragments in his palm, and felt the blessing of that powerful force To yourself, let your physical fitness and the upper limit of demon power soar.

   "Are you going to insist on using it?" The witch frowned.

   Although she didn't know what was going on, she didn't think this situation was a good thing. Besides, people's hearts would eventually change, and the four souls would also increase or decrease accordingly. The equilibrium state could not last forever.

   "At least I don't want to give up..."

Gu Mo smiled, and when he opened his palm again, there was nothing in it. Even with Kikyo's eyesight, he couldn't tell where he hid the Four Soul Jade Fragment. The induction of jade determines that there is indeed a fragment on the other side.

   "I don't have this idea at the moment... This world is still too dangerous, I need its power." Gu Mo continued, his tone was quite calm.

   Kikyo raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, but said nothing.

   She also felt that this matter was quite troublesome. She originally planned to spend the rest of her life in this small village in the future, and the world would no longer concern her. But she did not expect that a stranger came today, breaking the peace that had lasted for several days, and appearing in front of her with the fragments of the Four Soul Jade.

   Don't care, and you can't pretend to be invisible, you are very concerned about it anyway.

   But let’s take care, but I don’t know where to start…

Fifty years have passed, and the Jade of Four Souls is no longer the item she kept and guarded, and it even shattered into inexplicable pieces, especially since the person in front of her is not an enemy, she can neither ask for it nor do it. .

   As his thoughts turned, Kikyo asked calmly, "What are you going to do next? Are you going to leave the village and collect other jade fragments?"

   She never thought about becoming a complete youkai, but she needed to use the power of jade. She would not be surprised if the other party was going to continue the journey with such thoughts in mind.

   "This... I might do it later, but for now, I'm going to stay in the village for a while."

Gu Mo thought for a while, then continued to stretch out his hand and scratch his cheek a little embarrassedly, and said with a straight face: "The previous monsters should have come at me, although I did not intend to, but it did cause trouble to the village. , and there may be more behind..."

   "So I want to stay for a while, at least deal with the trouble I've brought, and I can't just leave it like this!"

   is a very high-sounding reason. As for what he thought, only God knows.

  ——In fact, you can handle it yourself...

   Kikyo hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't say this sentence, maybe that's okay, if the other party is very decisive and ready to run away, she will feel a lot of trouble. She didn't want to leave this peaceful village, and it was difficult for her to watch the disaster that the Jade of Four Souls was about to bring about.

   "That's fine... There are still some empty houses in the village. I'll take you to talk to them now."

  The shrine maiden stood up and walked out the door.

   "Oh, thank you, Kikyo." Gu Mo nodded again and again, smiling brightly, still calling him by his first name without any politeness.

There was no response, the shrine maiden walked by his side, bringing a faint scent of medicine, and after coming to the door, she suddenly turned around and looked at someone behind her, looking directly at him calmly: "Speaking of which , Having said so much, aren't you curious about me?"

  The Jade of the Four Souls is a very famous thing.

   And as the witch who guarded the Jade of the Four Souls fifty years ago, she is not so unknown, although time is like an arrow, fifty years have passed in a blink of an eye. But in terms of monsters and half-demons with long lifespans, fifty years is just a snap of a finger, and it's probably not that quick to forget what happened in the recent period.

   What's more, she didn't hide her name, and the other party didn't look surprised, but she obviously knew her.

   "Not at all."

   In the face of the witch's direct inquiry, Gu Mo did not hesitate at all, and looked at her with a magnanimous and blunt gaze.

  Curiosity is because I don’t know, so I want to explore. And he knew everything, even knew her better than Kikyo himself, so naturally he wouldn't be curious anymore.

   Probably because his eyes were not guilty, or even too frank and straightforward, but the witch turned away somewhat unnaturally and avoided looking at each other. For the time being, she let go of the vague concerns in her heart, stretched out her hand to lift the bamboo curtain by the door, and walked out, leaving only a faint sentence:

"Come with me."
