Lord of the Great Tribulation

Chapter 130 The Sword Bearer
"Strange things, cursed things, sealed things, contained things... these are its different names..."

"Most of the weird things are very dangerous and need to be contained and sealed! This is the only thing we can do!"

Mei Li poured a cup of tea and continued.

"Why... seal them?" Hei Jie asked strangely.

"Why?" Meili looked at Heijie strangely: "Because they are dangerous, no matter what form they manifest, they are malicious to humans! In other words, they are the same as the road you encountered. Killing like crazy!"

"indeed……"

Hei Jie realized that he had said something wrong.

Because he thought of his notebook, it seemed that nothing bad had ever happened to it, but it had saved his life and was still very useful, so he thought that the weird thing should be like a notebook.

Now it seems that the notebook in my hand is an alternative among the weird things!
But the next question continued: "Why do they... keep killing people?"

"I don't know. In short, it's not out of resentment or purpose. It's just killing for the sake of killing!" Meili replied.

'Perhaps, it is actively or passively collecting 'spirituality', just like a set 'program'! Fang Xian added inwardly while listening.

After growing eyes, he can finally feel the movement of the outside world and quickly learn the native language.

"Wait, that road?" Hei Jie asked again, "What exactly is it?"

"Well, the weird thing you encountered was recorded in the file before, code-named 'no loop'... To solve a weird case, you must find its root. The root of this weird case is that line road!"

Mei Li said: "It will randomly appear in various parts of the city, disguised as an ordinary street, and when you walk in, it will become a closed loop!"

She picked up a piece of paper on the table: "This is the road. When the prey goes in, it rolls up and connects end to end, so you can't get out no matter how you run...and all the people killed by it, They will stay on that road forever, becoming a fixed image, or in other words, becoming its 'derivative'..."

"But...we ran out." Hei Jie whispered.

"This is the second characteristic of Weird that I want to tell you. Only Weirdness can restrain Weirdness!"

Mei Li smiled: "You hold a strange object in your hand, and you used its ability to come out of no return alive and save those three classmates! We will hold this strange object A person who is called a sword-bearer, of course, you can also call yourself a spiritual master, an exorcist, a custodian... Anyway, they all mean the same thing."

"Performance?" Hei Jie asked, "What is it?"

"We have concluded the laws of weird cases, such as the first one, the law of indestructible weirdness! The second, only weirdness can restrain weirdness! And the third one, using weird items must pay a 'price'! "

Mei Li's expression became very serious: "Because only weirdness can restrain weirdness, so our institutions that specialize in dealing with weird cases have trained 'sword holders'... However, some weird items have too terrifying sequelae, Then it cannot be used, it can only be sealed, so far, it looks like you are lucky!"

"The sword bearer...does the sword he holds mean double-edged?" Hei Jie murmured, grabbing his schoolbag tightly.

Something was wrong with his notebook, he knew, and there seemed to be no cost to using it.

Such a weird thing, maybe it will attract snatching?Or forcibly expropriate?
He tensed up and stared at Meili.

"Are you worried that I will steal your weird things? I'm afraid you're thinking too much..." Meili seemed to see his inner thoughts and shook her head: "Although some captains will choose to do this, I will observe your state Very good, and your spirit is normal, which means you can control that weird thing perfectly, so I tend to accept you as one of us, otherwise why do you think I work overtime to chat with you for so long and tell you so many things ?”

"After joining you, do I have to fight against those weirdnesses?"

Hei Jie swallowed his saliva: "Is it too late for me to quit now?"

"What do you think?" Meili had a half-smile expression on her face.

……

"We hide in darkness and have no chance of honor!"

"We swear to protect this world and fight against weirdness!"

"We are sword bearers, and one day we will die by the sword!"

……

Mei Li took Hei Jie and began to swear an oath.

Afterwards, she smiled and said: "Welcome, Hei Jie, to become a member of our secret agency, well, you can give yourself a code name, and from today onwards, it will replace your name and exist in the file... "

"Why do you want to replace the number?"

Hei Jie asked suspiciously.

"Because some weird things are very dangerous, they can curse you if they know your name, so our organization used the ability of another containment object to erase its own name, which is also a kind of protection... don't you Do you think the name of our organization is a secret agency?"

Mei Li looked at him and said.

"Okay... I, I'll be called 'Crow'."

Holding his notebook, Hei Jie felt that the world was so dangerous for the first time.

"Very well, Crow, get ready and follow me tomorrow to solve the 'no loop'!" Mei Li laughed: "By the way, my Mei Li is also a pseudonym."

"Why do I feel...you have no one to use..." Hei Jie said with a sad face, "You just caught me temporarily?"

"Have you discovered it? There have been too many weird cases recently, and the sword holder died too quickly. There is nothing I can do about it..." Meili scratched her head: "If you confiscate your weird things, wait until a new one is qualified." I don’t know how long it will take for the killer to appear...but the point of no return is imminent."

"Well, although the mortality rate of newcomers is very high, and it is a bit miserable that you have to face the extremely dangerous No-Loop for your first debut, but if you think about it carefully, it may be your chance! I remember the headquarters There is a sword-wielder who was temporarily arrested. Like you, he started working on the most dangerous and mysterious cases without any training, and now he has grown into a big shot in the dark world..." Meili consoled her.

"You might as well not say it..." Hei Jie wept bitterly.

"By the way, you also need to register the ability of your weird thing, needless to say in too much detail..."

"I... I can use blood to add a name and curse any creature!" Hei Jie thought for a while, hiding some abilities.

"so so……"

Mei Li's expression was a little disappointed: "It's very good at dealing with people, but it's basically useless against things with roots... Do you think a road, a knife, or a pencil have the concept of 'blood'? At most, you can deal with some of them. 'derivative'……"

Hei Jie suddenly thought of the corpse that he had cursed into bones.
