honor me as god

Chapter 217
(Two chapters combined into one chapter)

Seeing Jack the Ripper's name, Chino couldn't help but smile: "Just him? Our original leader?"

Past winks: "Do you have a problem with Jack?"

"It's not that I have any objections, but I've read the case files about Jack the Ripper. His method is to hack at the vital points, often messing up the dead, which is not aesthetically pleasing. To sum it up in three words——" Chino Her amber eyes smiled into crescents, "Unprofessional."

"People of that era, of course, are incomparable to a little villain like you~" Once upon a time poked Kino's forehead, showing a playful smile, "But I have to correct you, it's not 'he', it's 'they'. "

Chino said softly, "They."

Nod in the past: "Jack the Ripper is not one person, but a group of people."

Kino thought deeply: "I've heard of this kind of statement, but there has been no substantive evidence."

In the past, he took the dice and tossed it up and down to play: "In short, this group of people took advantage of the underdeveloped criminal investigation technology at that time, and the exhaust gas from the coal burning of factories and residents was difficult to diffuse, forming a long-lasting smoke in the fog. They took turns committing crimes secretly. But he was never caught."

"In the end, they tasted the joy of incarnation of the god of death, established our current organization, and turned the matter of taking human life from a hobby to a commercial one. The later processors all developed on their basis."

"And this ten-sided dice belongs to the most alert and powerful of them, that is, the 'Jack the Ripper' known to the public, and later the first generation leader. And it is worth mentioning that it is not 'he', but 'she' ’. Jack is a male in folk imagery, but is actually a female.”

If such words are spread outside, people will definitely be complained or ridiculed, but they are very reliable when they are said in the past.

Kino asked with interest: "Does this dice mean anything to her?"

In the past, he said slowly: "It is said that Jack, the first generation leader, had a certain kind of unusually persistent belief in the gods, and firmly believed that he was the chosen one of God and enjoyed His blessing."

"Jack will ask the dice a question before each action, ask others or himself to say a number, and then report the number and roll the dice."

"If the number reported is the same as the number displayed on the dice, it means that the gods affirmed the matter."

"If the two numbers are not the same, it means that the gods deny the matter."

"According to the previously dictated question and the answer obtained by rolling the dice, Jack will decide whether to act or not."

In the past, I threw the dice on the table, covered it with my hand when it was spinning, and said mysteriously: "Will I be caught if I go out to commit crimes today? Give me a number."

Kino counted casually: "9."

Open your hand in the past, the number above is also 9.

"As it is now, Jack will not act, because the numbers match, which means that the gods will affirm Jack's question-he will be caught." He used to throw out the dice and explained, "It is said that she used this method to avoid There have been several rounds up. What's even more weird is that those round up plans were all classified, there was no possibility of leaking from inside, and the arrangements were extremely meticulous, once she commits a crime, the possibility of escaping is zero."

"But it was such a coincidence that she used the dice points to perfectly escape these siege plans. It seemed that some kind of unknowable force was helping her. In this way, the case of Jack the Ripper became an unsolved case that no one in the world can solve. "

Chino: "Do you believe this kind of thing is true? Don't you think it's just a foolish rumor from that era?"

In the past: "I don't actually agree with such strange things, but the development of science to the extreme is theology, and I don't deny that there is some kind of mysterious power in the laws of the universe that we can't understand for the time being."

"Of course, I can't answer whether Jack the Ripper is really protected by this power, after all, I haven't created it at that time."

Kino took the dice and caught a glimpse of a dog tethered in the corner of the restaurant out of the corner of his eye. He said casually, "Will I get bitten if I touch that dog now? 5."

The dice is rolled, the spin settles, and a 4 is displayed.

"Hoo~" Past whistled, "The dice say you won't be bitten."

Kino got up and walked towards the dog tied in the corner. It was a pitbull, not tall at the shoulders, but extremely muscular.

This kind of dog is a well-known fierce dog. The skin has no pain-sensing nerves and has a strong bite. It is often used for hunting, or it is raised by some people who like to show off.

The Pitbull is raised by the owner of the restaurant. It was gnawing on a cow bone. When it saw Kino approaching, it immediately raised its head and stared at him closely. Low-pitched threats erupted from its throat, its nose wrinkled, and transparent saliva Drip down the canines.

"Swish, sip, slurp" Kino kept making doggy sounds, and stretched out his hand to stroke its head.

"Roar——" the pit bull jumped up and bit Kino's palm directly. The sharp canine teeth penetrated the palm and the back of the palm in an instant, tearing him bloody, and the ferocity was evident.

The owner of the restaurant was terrified, but not worried about Chino, but worried about his dog. Can the dog survive after biting the smiling devil?
The boss hurried over, kicked the pit bull aside, and said to Chino in a trembling voice, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Chino, we will compensate you for your medical expenses at a hundred times the standard."

After the boss finished speaking, he grabbed the dog by the nape of the neck, pressed it to the ground and lashed it violently: "You little bastard, see if I don't break your dog's legs today!"

The Pitbull has no pain on its skin, and it doesn't feel pain when it is beaten, but due to the majesty of its master, it still tucks its tail between its legs and whines in aggrieved manner.

Chino pressed the wound with a tissue and smiled friendly: "I'm sorry, this is my fault. I shouldn't disturb the dog when it's eating, so don't punish it."

After a few polite words with the boss, Kino returned to his seat while wiping the blood, and shook his head helplessly: "The dice don't seem to be useful."

"Didn't I tell you all about it, those things are 'rumors'!" Pastor smiled angrily, "And even if the rumors are taken seriously, the dice in the records are only useful in Jack's hands. It's really just an ordinary dice."

"So, I prefer that it is not the dice that has mysterious power, but Jack himself. The dice is just a medium."

Kino laughed angrily: "Then why didn't you say it earlier??? I was bitten for nothing."

"No reason, I thought it would be fun for you to be bitten by a dog~ Oh, it hurts, don't pull my ear! It's a high-tech bionic ear, a 1000 million ear!" The past yelled and patted Chino's hand , finally broke free.

Kino suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Speaking of which, Jack should be dead, right?"

Past rolled his eyes: "People at the end of the 19th century, do you think they are dead?"

Chino: "If I follow her"

"I've loved you! I'll save you! I'll save you first!" Zuo Zi shouted out life-saving mantras.

Kino smiled helplessly: "I mean, if I was born in the same era as her, who do you think would be more famous?"

"I don't know that." Past rolls his eyes, and said lazily, "She is the serial killer who makes the whole fog fall into a bloody panic, known to everyone in the world, Jack the Ripper."

"You are the top processor who has completed the most orders in the history of the organization and is the most feared by the catchers, the smiling devil."

"I just want to say—give others a chance to survive! The two of you will be born in the same era, and the people of that era are too unlucky~"

After chatting with the past and eating, Kino went back to his hotel.

When the time comes the next day, return to the main world on time.

After Kino came back, he finished his work and went to Nicole's bedroom.

It is now 9 o'clock in the evening, and Nicole's work and rest are very regular. She never goes out to drink and get drunk like Lu Ge and the others at night. Instead, after dinner, she reads swordsmanship books for an hour, practices swords for an hour and a half, and then takes a bath and rests. .

Such a strict self-discipline should be cultivated in Wangcheng.

"Dong dong dong." Kino knocked lightly on the door: "Neko."

With light footsteps, the door opened.

I saw Nicole wearing a pure white rabbit fur pajamas, because the shape is very loose, it looks round, her long hair is a little messy from sleeping, and a bunch of dull hair is raised, delicate and cute, it is unbearable I can't help but want to rub it.

Kino made a sound before knocking on the door, but Nicole seemed to be in a daze and didn't realize that she was still in her pajamas. When she realized it, she was so ashamed that she hid behind the door: "Sorry, my lord, let me change clothes."

"En." Kino agreed, waiting outside the door.

There were rustling voices in the room, Nicole didn't keep Kino waiting, and quickly changed into her daily attire and came out: "Is there anything I can tell you?"

"Come with me to the training ground." Chino took the lead downstairs.

When the two came to the training ground, Chino took out the light and heavy sword from the space ring and handed it to Nicole: "I've thought about it, this is the most suitable weapon for you."

When Nicole received the epee, her hand suddenly sank. Obviously she didn't expect it to be so heavy, but she is still a reserve imperial guard, and a transcendent who has awakened the power of the sun. Even if she is like a little rabbit, she can carry it with one hand It is no problem to pick up a strong man, and the 42kg epee does not take too much effort for her.

Nicole held a light sword in her left hand and an epee in her right hand, with a confused look on her face: "My lord, do you want me to learn dual wielding? I have seen many dual wielding swordsmen in the palace, but Denisa said that this method is not suitable for me , and why are the specifications of the two swords inconsistent?"

"It's not for you to learn ordinary dual wielding. The essence of a dual wielding swordsman lies in its special fighting posture. The left and right hands cooperate to swing a set of combat skills to defeat the enemy with an airtight attack. This combat skill is really not suitable for you. "Qino pointed to Neeko's twin swords and said, "I want you to learn two completely different combat skills independently of your left and right hands."

Nicole muttered: "The left and right hands have two completely different combat skills independently."

Chino: "The reason why you are not suitable for the standard long sword, I told you - height. No matter how hard you try, if you learn mainstream swordsmanship, congenital height defects will seriously restrict you. So you must be different from others. "

Kino pointed to Neeko's light sword in his left hand: "In close combat, the light sword is the main focus. Make use of your petite and sensitive characteristics, use the sword skills you have learned hard to fight the enemy in close quarters, and turn the disadvantage of arm span into an advantage. At the same time With the epee as a supplement, use its huge attack range to compress the enemy's evasion space, forcing it to circle you closely."

Kino then pointed to the epee in her right hand: "For medium and long-distance combat, the epee is the main one. The length of 2.21 meters is enough to suppress most weapons, and the blade is extremely wide. The wide-open and wide-open offensive allows you to fight against tall people. At the same time, the light sword is used as a supplement, intercepting the enemy's weapons when they reach the inner circle, blocking the enemy in the outer circle, forcing them to fight head-on with the heavy sword."

Kino retracted his hand: "Depending on the battle situation, switch the main attack stance at any time, one far and one close, and there is no weakness."

Nicole thought for a moment after hearing this, and said tentatively: "You mean, I don't use a set of combat skills with my left and right hands like a dual-wielding swordsman. Instead, I learn the light sword with my left hand and the heavy sword with my right. , both hands use two sets of combat skills at the same time, just like the left and right hands are two independent individuals?"

Chino: "Yes, your understanding is in place. Your brain. Forget it, this explanation is too troublesome. You just need to know that you are different from ordinary people. It is difficult for ordinary people to do two things at the same time, but you can. I What is planned is a unique combat technique that belongs only to you."

Nicole stood there at a loss, with a confused expression: "I'm not sure if I can practice it well, I've never heard of this combat skill before."

Kino: "This is none of my business. You wanted me to reward you with one sword, but I rewarded you with two. You don't want to give up the sword as a weapon. I have tailored a sword posture for you. I have done my best , you can't expect more from me."

After the initial confusion, Nicole nodded her head heavily, her eyes became firmer: "Thank you, my lord, I will work hard! I will use them to protect you."

Next, Chino introduced the temperature control method of these two swords to Neeko.

As he expected, Neeko had awakened the power of the sun, and that layer of golden fire protected her body, so whether the light sword dropped to low temperature, or the heavy sword ignited a raging fire, she could hold it.

But because Neeko's sun power is still shallow, the light sword can only drop to minus 80 degrees Celsius, and the heavy sword can only rise to more than 600 degrees Celsius. No matter how low or high, she can't hold it.

However, it can be seen that Neeko likes the abilities of these two swords very much, her expression is like a child getting a toy that she can't put it down, and her always indifferent face is full of smiles.

Nicole also tried the swordsmanship posture that Chino said on the spot. She had received complete swordsmanship training during the reserve service, and she knew all the swordsmanship of light and heavy swords, but she had never used them with both hands at the same time.

At the beginning, Neeko didn't quite adapt and seemed a little clumsy.

But in just half an hour, she had already grasped the initial essentials.

The light sword is the main attack, the sword is like a white snake spitting out letters, the wrist shakes and the cold light flashes, the heavy sword follows closely, hissing like a dragon.

The heavy sword is the main attack, and the giant blade is shaped like a red dragon. It is raised and swung to cut through thunder, and the light sword dances lightly around the body, flying light without a trace.

The exquisite yet vigorous sword dance with the clothes fluttering, no longer the clumsy feeling of being short. The light sword, frost and snow and the epee flowing fire are intertwined, just like the alternation of winter and summer, which makes people's hearts sway.

When the sword fell, following Nicole's two completely different sword retracting postures, the sword light disappeared without a trace, leaving only the unique tranquility of the night.

Kino nodded unconsciously, obviously very satisfied with Neeko's sword dance.

Nicole's face was full of sweet smiles that she had never seen before, and she looked at Kino expectantly: "Can I name them?"

Kino: "When I give you the swords, they already belong to you, and you can make any decision."

"Then. This light sword, I want to call it." Nicole looked at the frosty white wrapped around the light sword, like the shed of the autumn cicada falling in the snow, she murmured softly, "Han Chan—— "

Nicole looked at the blazing crimson epee again. The sawdust from chopping the wooden man stuck to it, turning into embers and falling down, like burning tears. She subconsciously blurted out: "Weeping fire——"

"Cicadas cry fire!"
