Chapter 1622 The Murder Incident at Snow Mountain Villa
After that, it took Shan Po half an hour to help Mo Tan figure out the specific structure of the [Seven Star Fan], as well as the corresponding adjustment methods and mechanisms. , this is because the latter's memory and understanding ability are very strong. If someone else comes, it will be delayed for at least more than an hour.
It has to be said that although Shan Po is weaker than others in terms of paper strength, he is an out-and-out all-rounder, especially in engineering. Mo Tan can almost believe that, Even someone like Lu Wei, who has his eyes high and stands at the top of the industry, will look at the fan soul differently after understanding the many mechanisms in [Seven Star Fan].
In addition, Shan Po seems to be quite accomplished in the field of mysticism. Although he did not reveal too much, Mo Tan is also a well-informed person after all. He knows that if he has craftsmanship, it will be very difficult. It is difficult to create such a thing, and Shan Po is not the kind of person who is willing to borrow the hands of others to complete his work, so...
"So many times, the hard answer is not because you want to hide it, but because you want to hide it. Because the time has not come yet or...the person’s own memory is unclear.”
Shan Po, who sat back on the sofa, smiled at Mo Tan and said leisurely: "You should be able to see that although the eight of us are different in every aspect, including our personalities, we are all willing to give you our best. Professor, at least in terms of skills, no one will deliberately retain anything."
Mo Tan nodded slightly: "Yes, I am very grateful for this."
"Of course I hope you do. I think, but you also know that although you are indeed a person who is easy to like, the core reason why everyone is willing to help you is because you are now the owner of 'Xiao'."
Fan. Po motioned Mo Tan to sit down next to him and said bluntly: "The reason why we are willing to do our best to help you become stronger is because you have changed this place that is like a pool of stagnant water. People say it is rare to be confused, but the premise is You have to be awake most of the time. If you are confused like we were in the past... it will be a bit annoying to continue to be confused."
Mo Tan nodded vigorously, indicating that he knew everyone's thoughts very well. He said happily: "Please rest assured that for a long time in the future, I will regard the improvement of various forms of [Akatsuki] as one of the priorities. It is not entirely to repay you, but mainly because I really need this." ”
"Well, I'm not worried about this. Even though our weapons may not be as good as other weapons you can get, anyone with a long-term perspective knows the weight of [Akatsuki]."
Shan Po's mouth The arc was very pleasant, and he said meaningfully: "And you are a rare smart person, smart enough that I gave up the idea of controlling you from the beginning, and instead communicated with you on an equal footing as a collaborator, and Try to show sincerity in this process, to the point of being a little too humble."
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "You don't need to be like this, I actually..."
"What I will do depends only on your ability rather than your attitude."
Shan Po interrupted Mo Tan calmly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't think I am a good person in an objective sense. , Well, actually it’s not just me, it’s the same for everyone else, but... how should I put it, you should know that including Shapo, we have forgotten a lot of things now, especially the original part, right? ?”
Mo Tan nodded seriously: "Yes, I know."
"In my impression, Zhang Po is very good at figuring out people's hearts, but his eyes never fall on him, and I ...Although it cannot be said to be completely opposite to him, he prefers to study himself than to observe others."
Shan Po stretched out his fingers across the ridge of the fan and whispered: "And in the process, I gradually discovered one thing, that is, leaving aside the last life that had a relatively deep impression, that is, in this half-life that you call the "innocent realm", the self that I had almost forgotten, He's probably a pretty dangerous person."
Mo Tan blinked, nodded sternly, and suddenly laughed: "Are you trying to say that your nature is bad?"
" I feel that words like good, bad, good and evil are very empty and lacking. ”
Shan Po turned his head to look at the calm lake not far away, and said calmly: "I just want to tell you, I'm afraid I am a dangerous person, but..."
"It's just that after losing Memory, and it’s relatively safe when it’s clear that I’m a smart person?”
This time, Mo Tan interrupted Shan Po and laughed after the other party responded with silence: “I know. What are you worried about?"
Shan Po asked without looking back: "What?"
Mo Tan spread his hands and said very straightforwardly: "You know very well that I am quite a person from an objective point of view. I am a 'lawful' and 'kind' person, so I have developed a situation where I may be contrary to my moral principles and behavioral standards, and may be targeted by me... for example, deliberately not using the [Seven-Star Fan] or something like that. Behavior, right? ”
"You can understand it that way."
Shan Po looked back at Mo Tan and showed a wry smile: "Although I haven't done anything now, and I haven't even done anything in half my life in this world, but I don't deny that I am a very dangerous person. Even the reason for telling you this is simply because I think I can't hide it from you."
Mo Tan also laughed: "But. You said it yourself, you haven’t done anything now, haven’t you?”
“Huh?”
“You may indeed be a dangerous person, and I may become one soon. Same idea, but it was never a crime that needed to be punished.”
"What do you mean..."
"It's like there is a person whose hands are naturally shaped like swords. This is naturally very dangerous, but this does not mean that we have to imprison him, or Cut off his sword-like hands, right?"
"Even if he might hurt others in the future?"
"You said it, it's just a possibility, I don't think so. 'Possibility' can be used as a basis to judge whether a person should be punished."
"There is a saying called nip in the bud."
"Yes, so I may be vigilant and wary, but that's the limit. To give an inappropriate example, I will tighten my purse on a street with many pickpockets, but I will not knock over anyone around me. People who seem like they might steal my things, do you understand?”
“I understand, but this is not justice...”
“I never think that I am objective. agents of justice, facts On the other hand, I think justice itself is a subjective concept, and there is no so-called objective perspective. I am just a practitioner of justice in my heart."
"I'm not sure if this is considered a justice. A noble quality, although I am relieved now.”
“I don’t care whether my behavior and character are noble in the eyes of you...or anyone else.”
Mo Tan stood up and showed a refreshing and bright smile to Shan Po: "I just need to be worthy of myself."
Shan Po laughed, shook his head and said: "The same thing, if it were another person, I I will definitely think that he is a demon king."
"I always feel that everyone thinks too highly of me."
Since I entered the world of innocence, I have often been praised by various people around me. 'Mo' touched the tip of his nose with a helpless expression. Shan Po also stood up, bowed slightly to Mo Tan, and smiled gently: "Looking up to you means that you must be worthy of being looked up to. Well, you have wasted enough time here. It’s been a long time, it’s time to go to the last stop.”
Mo Tan, who had the same idea, nodded: "Well, I don't know what kind of place it is."
"Then I don't know, after all, no one including me has ever been in it. ."
Shan Po shrugged and said in a brisk tone: "But it should be a pretty special place."
"Then I'll go first."
"Go ahead, we'll wait for you."
"Okay."
After saying that, Mo Tan turned around and left the small house in the middle of the lake along the way he came, loaded with harvests about the Seven-Star Fan.
Then there is the same sense of emptiness as always, sitting in the central area of the furnace.
【It’s finally the end. 】
Because they were basically chatting before, Mo Tan, who had almost no consumption, did not stay for half a second. After coming back, he immediately walked towards the last chain between the realms of Shan Soul and Sword Soul, and came to it. He took a deep breath after going down, and then took steps toward the darkness that was no different from before.
...
Five minutes later
When the sense of emptiness that he had become accustomed to disappeared, Mo Tan found himself standing in the center of a simple platform, surrounded by a starry sky as beautiful as the Milky Way. , in front of them are placed the Jiuding, which is the same style as the large casting furnace outside, but its size is countless times smaller, only as high as Mo Tan's chest. The small casting furnace has floating on it from left to right -
[Ruthless Sword], [Snow Spear], [Red Lotus Sword], [Everlasting Sorrow Thorn], [Shura Halberd], [ Unparalleled Ax], [Long Yuan Stick], [Seven Star Fan] and... a group of mysterious objects that are constantly twisting but not weird, full of metallic texture.
Mo Tan walked forward and took a closer look at each one, and found that except for the [Ruthless Sword], it was obviously a higher level in terms of shape. Not only did there appear shallow lines on the handle, but the originally dull The sword blade occasionally flashed a cold light, but the other weapons all maintained an extremely simple appearance. Although they were not in a state of tatters, the strong sense of history on them was really stressful.
Obviously, these weapons correspond to various forms of [Akatsuki].
"Well..."
Mo Tan frowned and thought for a while, and then unexpectedly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the hilt of the [Ruthless Sword] in front of him, as if he wanted to It's like picking it up and playing with it twice, and then——
Buzz! ! !
As a non-existent buzzing sound exploded in Mo Tan's ears, he felt his eyes blurred, and then he found himself standing in a white snow field holding a sword, and he In front of him, there were more than a dozen men in civilian clothes with heavy backs and heavy waists, holding golden machetes. Although they did not look like bandits, the murderous aura and hostility exuding from their bodies were certainly no less than those of normal desperadoes.
Mo Tan, on the other hand, reacted for half a second and then subconsciously took a step back and said tentatively: "Everyone is..."
"It's really a toast without a penalty!"
As a result, the man leading the opposite party didn't seem to want to listen to him at all. He just said coldly. Behind the smile, he weighed the thing in his hand ferociously: "Our village owner has already said that as long as you hand over the sword-making method, not only will you forget about the past grudges, but you will even be willing to accept you as an adopted daughter, give you the surname Huangfu, and enjoy all the glory. , Why are you so stubborn!"
[Adopt me as your adopted daughter? ! 】
Mo Tan was shocked at that time and took a breath of cold air.
As a result, this breath of cold air seemed to have caused great offense to these people. The look of the leading man suddenly changed, and then he shouted loudly and flew directly towards the Black Eagle, while the companions behind him also followed suit one by one. He raised his sword and quickly gathered around.
In desperation, although he could not understand the situation, Mo Tan, who had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death, had to wave his sword to block it. At this moment, he noticed that the sword in his hand was not the [Ruthless Sword], nor was it Like the [Ruthless Sword] that will be improved in quality in the future, it is just a rather simple-looking iron sword.
But it shouldn’t be a big problem. After all, according to Mo Tan’s observation, although the people around him are all practitioners, and they are also menacing and full of killing intent, their level... To put it bluntly, it’s just that. Both speed and strength are only around the mid-level level, so let alone an ordinary iron sword in his hand, even if he only has a branch in his hand, Mo Tan is confident that he can resolve this round of attacks without any damage and let these people listen well. Speak for yourself.
But——
【No! 】
The moment he swung the long sword, even though it had not yet collided with the opponent's golden-ringed sword, Mo Tan's heart suddenly sank. The reason was simply that there was something wrong with his hand.
Although he was sure that this should be his own body, combined with the other party's inexplicable words before, Mo Tan had realized that he might not just be 'confessed', but to some extent become a Another person, although he himself is not aware of it, is another person who has nothing to do with 'Mo Tan' or 'Mo' in the eyes of others.
Not only that, his physical fitness also seems to be consistent with that person who although I don’t know who he is, but based on logical reasoning, he is probably the person from Jian Po’s previous life.
So...
If the strength of the men around with the golden ring swords is only around the middle level, then 'Motan' at this moment is probably only at the elementary level, and his physical fitness They may not be as strong as those big brothers in the real world, and this situation will naturally lead to——
Bang! !
Sure enough, the moment the swords clashed, Mo Tan immediately felt a sharp pain coming from the tiger's mouth. His right arm went numb and he almost dropped the sword to the ground, but the other party swung it out expressionlessly. The second knife was taken directly between the eyebrows, and the whole set of movements was smooth and natural!
Boom! !
Mo Tan turned around and dodged. Although he escaped the craniotomy, a long blood mark was still left on his shoulder.
And then...
He lost his center of gravity and was stabbed through. He fell to the street in the snow and died.
