God Killer: Star Weaver

"When will you come back?"

At night, inside Ling Chen's house.

Ling Chen was simply packing up the necessary items that Mu Yao had given him for his trip, and there were two figures, one big and one small, standing next to him. Among them, the petite figure couldn't help but ask.

Ling Chen stopped his busy hands and turned his head to look at the lovely face in the candlelight. At this moment, the latter's eyes were very calm, but seemed to be mixed with some reluctance.

"You know, the academy leaves a special mark on you. If you don't come back at night when you leave your rest area, it will naturally dissipate. You will have to wait for half a year for it to reappear before you can come back."

"I know, Senior Sister Yin." Ling Chen's throat moved and he smiled, "I believe that when I come back, I can touch your level!"

"I believe you." Hearing this, Yin'er's eyes dimmed slightly, but the reluctance immediately dissipated, replaced by Ling Chen's familiar sweet smile, but this smile seemed a bit forced.

She jumped lightly, took a step forward, and stretched out her little hand, as if she wanted to touch Ling Chen's face, but looking at the latter's confused eyes, she seemed to suddenly remember something and retracted her hand.

"Haha." Mu Yao touched Yin'er's little head, then raised his head, looked at Ling Chen in front of him, and said somewhat seriously: "Remember the purposes of going out this time, right?"

"I know, I've memorized it." Ling Chen nodded and recited the itinerary given to him by Mu Yao, "First, go to the stall vendor in the activity area to find a handy weapon, and second, go to the knife store in the north of the college. Ge, find their mentor, tell me that I am your disciple, and then learn the sword skills. Thirdly, if you understand the method of elemental stripping, then find a Star Weaver who has restrained your own attributes to learn how far you are. How long will it take for Rank Two?”

"Fourth, if there is one, hunt down a shadow beast in the black forest and get the... void crystal on its head." Ling Chen took a breath, paused, and then said in a deep voice. , at this moment, his eyes were filled with a trace of murderous intent.

According to Mu Yao, the reason why the Shadow Realm Beast can appear in this world and run rampant is because of the "Void Crystal" hidden in its forehead. Currently, what is the effect of this crystal on the Shadow Realm Beast? It is unclear what it is, but it will naturally be found after his death.

The Void Crystal is just an ordinary gemstone to ordinary Star Weavers, but to Ling Chen, who possesses the power of the Void, its effect may be more than that.

"Yes." Mu Yao nodded, "Remember, these tasks are gradual. You don't want to challenge the shadow beast as soon as you get started, understand."

"By the way, and I don't know if you used your perception when you first entered the black forest and encountered danger, but now, for the sake of safety, it's best not to use it, or not to use it." Mu Yao He said softly, "Always remember that your perception is not the so-called mental power."

"Understood." Ling Chen looked calm and nodded. He naturally knows this. I am afraid that the academy is still unclear about his possession of the power of the void, otherwise it would not have been inactive for such a long time.

"I'll give you something." Yin'er looked at Ling Chen, then slowly stepped forward and took out a dark blue ring, "In this ring, there is the power of the ice element star weaving that I have been intimate with. I compressed it fully, so it is quite sufficient and can be used for a long, long time..."

"I also have two scrolls hidden inside. On them I have recorded my own insights into the two killing moves of the ice and wind attributes. If you are outside, you can practice them on your own."

"Big deal." Mu Yao glanced at the ring, then smiled and shook his head. Apparently he sensed the majestic and bone-chilling energy in the ring.

After taking the ring and playing with it for a while, Ling Chen thanked him. Then he seemed to remember something. He raised his head and asked Yin'er with a smile, "Teacher Mu, why are senior sisters Yin so nice to me?"

Hearing this, Yin'er was startled and looked at Ling Chen, her eyes full of complex expressions.

"...I will explain this to each disciple before he goes out to practice." After a long silence, Mu Yao coughed and said calmly.

Yin'er wanted to say something, but she still nodded silently.

"Oh. Thank you, Senior Sister Yin and Teacher Mu. I will borrow these things for a while. Of course, I will work hard to become stronger. When I come back, I will return it to you twice as much." Ling Chen thought about it and did not ask any more questions. Indeed, this is a border college, and most people are here for themselves.

Although his own strength is not weak, he will not bring much benefit to Dragon Pavilion, so he is no different from ordinary disciples. Mentor Mu Yao and Head Master Yin'er were already extremely benevolent to him, and he couldn't possibly ask for anything more.

When Mu Yao and Yin'er heard this, they both nodded with smiles and said nothing more.

"complete!"

After some tidying up, Ling Chen finally finished tidying up, and now his room is as tidy as when he first arrived.

Looking at the tidy room, Ling Chen smiled, lowered his head and silently looked at the several rings on his fingers. The dark green ones were of unknown origin, and the light green ones were given to him by instructor Mu Yao. They contained some wind attribute star-weaving power. , food and water, and some warm clothing. Inside the dark blue was the scroll that Yin'er gave him and the power of the Ice Attribute Star Weaver.

"It's all figured out, please pay attention to safety, little guy." Mu Yao looked at Ling Chen and said slowly. He knew that although there wouldn't be much of a problem in the activity area, once he left the academy, the black forest and the wider uninhabited island, he would really die if he was not careful, leaving no trace of his body.

"Don't worry, boss." Ling Chen patted his chest and said with a smile. There seemed to be firmness in his tone, but more of it was comfort. Because this time he went out, he was no longer as fearless as before. Knowing the gap between him and the strong, he already knew that if he encountered unknown dangers, he might not be able to come back.

But even so, he will still choose to go out, because he is a warrior, he needs to get his memory back, break the containment, and return to the place he wants to protect!

"Okay, I believe you, little guy." Mu Yao patted Ling Chen's head again, then turned to look at Yin'er, his face sank slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Then we... won't disturb you. .go to bed early."

"Well, goodbye, teacher, Senior Sister Yin!" Ling Chen said, cupping his fists, with a bit of reluctance in his tone.

"Goodbye, Chen...Ling Chen." Yin'er felt a little unnatural, but still smiled and waved her little hand, and then followed Mu Yao out of Ling Chen's house and gently closed the door.

boom.

Ling Chen looked at the closed door, still keeping his fists clasped, then his smile slowly faded, he sighed softly, and fell down on the wooden bed.

…

Mu Yao and Yin'er walked side by side in the square of Long Pavilion. Neither of them spoke, and their expressions seemed heavy. Especially for the latter, the light and quick steps in the past are now full of heaviness.

In the sky, clouds passed by and the moonlight fell down.

After leaving Ling Chen's house. Yin'er lowered her head and saw the silver gauze on the ground. She slowly stopped and raised her head. Her big eyes stared at the two strange moons in the sky, as if she was thinking about something.

"If he comes back...or if this Ling Chen comes back, then the day is not far away." Mu Yao also stopped, looked down at Yin'er, sighed, and said in a deep voice.

Yin'er didn't speak. She was still staring at the sky. The two waning moons hung leisurely in the sky, as if they were staring at her from afar.

Tick ​​tock.

Suddenly, a teardrop fell on the stone bricks.

"..."

Mu Yao looked at Yin'er. At this moment, she was still looking at the moon in the sky, but there were already water droplets in her eyes. They kept flowing over her picturesque face, and gathered into a string of silver water drops from her snow-white chin. , falling gently.

"why why……"

Suddenly, Yin'er lowered her head and muttered something repeatedly. She lightly covered her mouth with her jade hand, and her body began to tremble continuously.

Her face, which had always been wearing a sweet smile, was now full of sadness, and tears kept flowing from her eyes, falling on the hard stone floor.

"……well."

Looking at the trembling Yin'er, Mu Yao also felt a flash of distress. He slowly squatted down, held her small body in his arms, patted her back constantly, and comforted her in a low voice.

"Mu...Teacher, why...what..."

"Why is this happening...Why does it have to be me..."

Yin'er also hugged Mu Yao with her backhand and asked with a trembling voice.

“Teacher, I really don’t want to do this anymore!!

"I'm in so much pain... so much pain! I really want to jump out! But, I can't... but I really, but I really... when will this end..."

Being held in Mu Yao's arms, Yin'er finally couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, and turned from sobbing softly to wailing loudly. Her little feet also stomped the stone bricks several times with sadness, and her voice was always light but steady. It had become extremely sad at this moment. She buried her head in Mu Yao's shoulder and grabbed the clothes on his back with both hands. Her painful cry echoed in the silent square for a long time.

The moonlight gently stroked Yin'er's hair, as if it was also comforting her. A small, shimmering insect kept drawing circles after circles around it.

And the disciples who had not yet fallen asleep in the wooden houses around them sighed softly when they heard the heartbreaking and painful cry of the little junior sister, and did not open the door to disturb them.

In one of the rooms, Qin Yilan, who had always been in love with Yin'er, did not go out at the moment. He leaned against the door and slowly sat down, hugging his legs and burying his head in his knees, his heart full of distress and helplessness.

"I must have endured it for a long, long time..." Mu Yao ignored the coldness on his shoulders, his eyes were red, and he gently stroked Yin'er's green hair with his palms, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work. Cry, you will definitely get better if you cry. Better!”
