(Today is still a two-in-one chapter)

...

Qino recalled that he and Han Yi had discussed it at that time and asked her to arrange an "accident" for Lu Yuqing, and then...

Kino recalled the scene at that time and suddenly laughed out loud: "No wonder the earthquake happened so suddenly! It turns out that you have been staring at me with your spiritual vision. As soon as you found out that I was murderous towards Lu Yu, you immediately activated the seven plagues illusion and forced me to

Divert attention."

"With the seven disasters, the prophecy of divine punishment has been confirmed, and Onmyoji's spell-breaking technique has become the only hope to break the situation. It is impossible for me to kill her."

11: "Continue."

Kino licked his lips and continued his deduction: "So, for so many days, you have created the illusion of seven disasters in Twilight City just to force me to believe Lu Yuqing step by step. The more disasters happen, the less I dare to

Betting on the seventh plague "annihilation"."

"In the end, I fell into Lu Yuqing's trap and stepped into the trap that had been laid out long ago like an ignorant lamb. I was trapped by the formation and ended up where I am now."

Seeing 11 sneer and say nothing, Chino knew that he had said exactly what he said. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I have another question, which I haven't figured out yet."

"I asked Han Yi to steal the "Breaking Dharma Sutra" from the Yin and Yang Division's library. It clearly states that the formation is used to break the curse seal of heaven. The required materials, process, taboos... I told Lu Yuqing all about it.

There is no difference.”

"During the entire process of setting up the formation, I kept staring at Lu Yuqing. She arranged it completely according to the "Broken Law Sutra" without any manipulation...Why did it turn into a formation that trapped me to death?"

11: "Think again? You have already restored a lot of things. This most critical step should not be difficult for you to deduce."

Kino's eyes flickered, and he began to fall into a long thought. He was not only thinking about the answer, but also secretly holding 11 back to give the soldiers outside more time to rescue...

11 didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, just looking at Kino silently and letting him think.

After a long time, Kino's eyes returned to clarity, and he nodded and said: "I understand... That "Broken Dharma Sutra" is a fake... To be precise, the book "Broken Dharma Sutra" does exist, because Aimo also

It was mentioned...but what Hanyi stole was a fake book."

"Through personality thinking simulation, you know that I will not completely trust Lu Yuqing, and will only believe what I see. Therefore, before the whole operation started, you removed the "Broken Dharma Sutra" from the Yin and Yang Division's big library.

Of the real books, only the fake one is kept, just for Han Yi to steal it."

"And in the fake "Broken Dharma Sutra", you grafted the content of the formation that trapped me to the formation that broke the curse seal of heaven. In this way, Lu Yuqing could be aboveboard and lay this out under my nose.

It’s time to form.”

11Reply with silence instead of answering.

Kino: "When did you put this fake "Broken Dharma Sutra" in it?"

11: "Before all planning begins."

Kino: "Before the whole plan started, you had already calculated it to the last step. Did you think that I would let Han Yi steal the "Broken Dharma Sutra"?"

11: "Yes."

"Huh~" Kino whistled, his tone was extremely appreciative, "Well done, detective... So every step of our duel is under your calculation, without any unexpected factors?"

11: "There is an unexpected factor, and it is also your only comeback point, which is the girl named Nicole. Her power of the sun comes from her faith, and she is naturally immune to all thinking interference. In the entire Twilight City, she is the only one who will not be invaded by me.

, only she will not see any illusions."

"Wait!" Kino suddenly frowned, "Niko...since she has seen through the illusion and will not be disturbed by your psychic energy, why doesn't she come and report to me?"

11: "Three of your closest subordinates, Paladin, Baixa, and Lugo, one thinks she is secretly plotting chaos, one thinks she is deceptive, and the other thinks she is a fool born with a mental retardation."

"The three of them worked together to beat her up, threw her into an iron cage and locked her up. They are planning to report to you after the disaster is over."

The corners of Kino's lips twitched obviously, and his face became expressionless.

11: "It's ironic, isn't it? The whole world is turbid, but she is the only one who is clear, everyone is drunk, but she is the only one who is sober. But people are like this, no matter what happens, they are more willing to believe in their own eyes. The only sober one

, but in their eyes, he is an alien."

After a long silence, Kino did not say any harsh words, but said silently: "I myself was negligent here. I was focused on the seven plagues and didn't notice that Neeko was missing. All the soldiers in the city were there.

Disaster relief, I thought she was also providing disaster relief at other evacuation sites..."

11: "You don't have to feel regretful. This turning point certainly exists, but I won't give you a chance."

"I had Lao Gao on standby at that time. If Paladin and the others believe in Neeko and take her to see you, Lao Gao will directly enter the Twilight City and kill all four of them on the way."

"And in your mind, I will use psychic invasion to disguise the four of them as being killed in a disaster. It wouldn't be strange to have one or two low-level extraordinary beings killed in such an earth-shaking disaster, right?"

Kino seemed not to want to dwell on this issue anymore, and said calmly: "Let's go back to the "Broken Dharma Sutra", how did you hide it in the big library? It is impossible for Onmyoji to put it into a book without anyone noticing.

Fake book.”

"Or is it that they knew the fake book was there, but deliberately did not move it, and the entire Yin Yang Division and even the entire Far East Dynasty were secretly helping you? But how is that possible... Why do they do this for you..."

11: "This question is easy because I have something you don't have."

Kino: "What?"

11: "Friends."

Kino was silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something, and then said silently: "In fact, although I can't understand the word 'friend', just like I can't understand 'love', I seem to have a friend - at least she is like this

Said."

Kino immediately shrugged: "Of course, the matter between you and me has nothing to do with her."

11: "It's so unfortunate for her to meet you."

Kino: "Let's get down to business. If I'm not wrong, the friends you mentioned are people from other reincarnation teams. Those reincarnations have been to my world before, and they have some useful contacts left in the Far Eastern Dynasty. This time they happened to be attracted by you.

Used it."

11: "Yes."

Kino: "That's even more strange. How many connections do they have left? Can they help you with such a big thing?"

11 did not intend to answer this question, but directly changed the subject: "Don't you ask me how I found out about Jenny?"

Kino shook his head: "If someone else had found out about Jenny, I would have asked. Your words are unnecessary. You are the person who knows me best in the world. This is not surprising."

11: “Aren’t you going to complain about Jenny’s incompetence?”

Chino said lazily: "If you lose, you lose. There is no need to complain. I don't like to blame others for failure. Besides, Jenny has done a very good job. She is completing her job very seriously and has tried her best.

There’s nothing to blame.”

Kino seemed to remember something funny and couldn't help but chuckle: "Speaking of which, your pseudonym is actually 'Dantes'? The revenge incarnation of "The Count of Monte Cristo"... Why didn't I notice this...

.If I had known it was you, our duel might have been more enjoyable."

11: "Are you not nervous at all about your current situation?"

Kino smiled easily, as if he was facing a game: "Why should I be nervous? I gave up my life in my previous life. Later, the supreme being wanted to sign a contract with me, and I clearly rejected it. Who knew this guy

Such a trap, I will be reborn even if I sign the contract, and I will be reborn even if I don’t sign the contract, turning me into the rejecter I am now."

"Although this world is more interesting than I imagined, it is more like a cage and a colosseum. It keeps sending reincarnators to fight with me. It gets boring after a long time."

"Now, you have caught me, congratulations. But so what? What are you going to do? Kill me? For me, death is just returning to square one."

11's expression slowly turned sinister, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle: "Death? You are thinking too well. If I just want to kill you, I can kill you by just using my contacts in the Far Eastern Dynasty."

"I gave up all shortcuts, laid out such a big plan in many twists and turns, and tried my best to catch you here, not just to kill you."

The smile on Kino's face was still relaxed, and he said slowly: "Then you'd better act quickly. Just like you said, I'm chatting with you just to buy time. As we speak, 7,000 Twilight City defense troops have surrounded us.

I killed your companion Lu Yuqing. She was a brave and tenacious good girl who could go into the enemy camp alone for you. Don’t let her die in vain."

11: "You still think you can control the situation and escape from me like before, don't you? But I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"The formation Lu Yuqing has laid out for you is called the "Desperate Array" in Onmyoji. Not only does it cover a large area, the formation is conspicuous and difficult to conceal, but the triggering conditions are extremely harsh - the subject needs to stand at the center of the formation and be conscious.

Sober, without any resistance, and then drip with your own blood."

"From a practical point of view, it is almost impossible to trap people in a desperate formation, and no fool would be so cooperative - but things are so unpredictable, and the smartest people do the stupidest things."

Kino said calmly: "Then what? Will it cut me into pieces and tear my soul apart? Or will it destroy me and prevent me from reincarnation forever?"

11: "The Desperate Array itself has only two functions. One is to imprison the body and seal the power. The other is to connect the life of the person in the array with another person for symbiosis and death."

"The reason why you appear here is that I cooperated with the desperate formation to attack your mind with psychic invasion, and pulled you into my spiritual world."

"Don't you want to waste time with small talk? Then guess, we have been chatting for 47 minutes so far. How long has passed in reality?"

Before Chino could answer, 11 had already given him the answer: "Not even a thousandth of a second."

Hearing the sound, the smile on Kino's face completely disappeared.

On the contrary, the sneer on Eleven's face became more intense: "In the spiritual world, my psychic power can greatly control the passage of time. And under the influence of the psychic catalyst potion, my control over time has increased thousands of times.

."

"Now, 1 second outside is equal to 1 year here."

"You and I just said so many words. It seems like a long time has passed, but in the outside world it is only a moment. Even the biological current of the human body has not been transmitted to the cerebral cortex. If they blink once, more than half a year may have passed here. Waiting for you

7,000 people mobilized to attack Lu Yuqing, and this place is already in ruins!"

Kino's pupils have dilated rapidly, his thin lips pursed into a tight line, and he looked at 11 expressionlessly: "Since this is your spiritual world, I guess that even if you want to trap me, you can't release the psychic power——
