The two people's consciousness came together, and while their physical fitness and strength remained stable, they each used their last full-strength move to determine the winner.
A flash of white light flashed across his brown eyes, and Ye Minglu rushed out like a runaway horse. At the same time, the Fujimu sword was tilted forward horizontally, in a defensive and offensive posture.
Modi also stepped forward to meet him, and the gorgeous wind stabbed the vine sword in his hand on foot, elegantly without losing the dignified temperament of a swordsman.
"Pa--"
The two swords collided together. Of course, it was not a head-on collision, but Ye Minglu cleverly moved his wrist according to Modi's stabbing method, swung the sword sideways and hit the blade, and the sword moved as he turned and twisted.
Discharge Modi's strength forward.
"I've been fooled!"
Ye Minglu said softly that the original sword posture was just a cover to confuse Modi to judge himself, and he used the straight trajectory of his sword attack to turn things around.
The stabbing sword stabbed in front of nothing with inertia. After hearing this, Modi's eyes widened in vain. He did not expect that his new move would be used.
"The victory or defeat is decided! Modi"
Ye Minglu was already fighting behind him at this time, aiming at Modi's head wearing a protective hat, raising his vine sword high and striking with the final blow. This would be a hit without any deviation!
"I'm not as good at hunting monsters as you are, so I lost."
Modi's handsome face showed a happy smile, and he was prepared for defeat. The vine sword from the height came down and was about to hit his head.
When the sword was falling towards Modi's head at lightning speed, the word "Demon Hunt" made Ye Minglu's pupils shrink sharply, and the falling sword suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if there was an invisible wall blocking the sword's fall.
of.
Sensing that Ye Minglu's reaction had become rather slow for some reason, the sword wind slowed down slightly. However, this was an excellent opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Modi's right sword quickly struck out without thinking.
"when--"
Ye Minglu was startled. The vine sword he was holding had been knocked away and made a clear sound of falling to the ground. His body suddenly fell back. Before he could recover, he hit the wooden floor hard.
The sword was pointed directly in front of Ye Minglu's eyes, and Modi said condescendingly: "You lose! In battle, being stupid will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him."
"Modi wins!" The whistle sounded, and the brawny man with a flat head announced the final verdict.
Some members are regretting that Yeming Road made a mistake at such a good opportunity, which is really not worth it.
Some even cheered for Modi's first narrow victory over Ye Minglu. No matter what, if you lose the battle, you can't make excuses. If you win, you win.
"Monster hunting? Did I hear correctly?" Ye Minglu lay on the ground in a daze, staring at the ceiling in confusion, feeling extremely confused.
"Here, get up!"
A palm stretched out, Ye Minglu looked at the owner of the palm, Modi, and thought of the word "demon hunting" he just said? If Modi had encountered the demon hunting that Emily mentioned, then it meant that Amy
Everything Li said is true.
"Modi, what did you say?"
"Uh, what did I say?" Modi asked inexplicably.
"Just now, did you talk about hunting demons?" Ye Minglu asked tentatively.
"Ha, ha, did I say that? Did you hear it wrong?" Modi sweated, scratched his face with his index finger and forced a fake smile, looking around wildly.
"Really?" Ye Minglu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him with suspicion.
"Yes, hunting monsters sounds like Shrek. This is the century of science, not the century of magic." Modi nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I heard it wrong! I'm just a little suspicious and thinking too much."
Indeed, how could demon hunting possibly exist? Modi said he didn't say it. He probably misheard because he was nervous. Thinking of this, Ye Minglu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah!" Modi's nervous expression relaxed and he breathed out at the same time.
At the end of the practice, Modi was surrounded by members of the club to congratulate him, while Ye Minglu sat alone on the side of the practice field, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a sip.
Although Modi denies hunting monsters, he is now becoming more and more sensitive to hunting monsters and elves. Is it all because of the chuunibyou girl?
When Modi was being praised by the members on one side, he looked towards Yeming Road and found that he was sitting lonely on the other side. Today he was very different from ordinary days, at least he was not in good spirits.
"Ming Lu, what's wrong with you? You always look absent-minded today." He came to Ye Ming Lu and casually patted his butt and sat down. Modi knew that he would not be depressed just because he lost to him, and Ye Ming Lu would not refuse to admit defeat.
, but after losing, you will only become more tenacious and practice more diligently. This is true for everything. So he didn't ask if he had any grudges because he lost to himself.
"fine……"
Ye Minglu looked at Modi and hesitated to speak.
"Really? If you have any troubles, you can tell us. Aren't we best friends?"
Seeing that his answer was not true, Modi bumped Ye Minglu's arm with his shoulder.
Ye Minglu said thoughtfully: "Then let me ask you a question!"
"Ask me! It's my duty to help you solve your problems. I know everything I know, and I can tell you everything!" Modi raised his thumb, showing his shining white teeth, and smiled confidently.
"Do you believe that elves exist in the world?"
When he heard the word "elf", Modi, who was smiling all the time, immediately stopped. A surge of emotion arose in his heart, and he asked calmly: "Why do you ask that?"
"Answer me first." Ye Minglu continued without explaining.
"This question is a bit difficult to answer. From the perspective of scientific theory, we choose not to believe it. The reason is that science cannot prove it." Modi naturally spread his hands.
"That's it! Does that mean you don't believe it either?" Ye Minglu said calmly. He was hesitating between belief and disbelief. It seemed that he still had to rely on scientific evidence to make his choice. After all, this was the education he received.
Modi looked at Ye Minglu, and then said something surprising: "But isn't the so-called science also improving gradually? In the past, people believed that the universe was centered on the earth, which was science, and it was scientific to believe that the universe was centered on the sun.
These are crooked ways. In fact, both of them are unscientific, so there are some things in the world that cannot be explained by science, so I may choose to believe them."
His words made Ye Minglu stunned. Just based on what Emily said, the authenticity was not high. Those words that Emily kept insisting on made him feel a little annoyed.
"There are too many phenomena in our world that cannot be explained by science, such as human telepathy and special functions. Can science explain it? Among other things, it is the ancient martial arts we learn. We once thought that this was just a matter of existence.
Is it in martial arts novels? Now that we have learned it ourselves, how do we feel? Thinking about it carefully, science cannot explain it at all. Although the elves are not real or even unbelievable, they can only be understood by witnessing and experiencing them with our own eyes.
I know." Modi spoke eloquently. He rarely spoke at length like this.
"When something like this happens around you one day, if you don't understand it deeply, it will be washed away by scientific knowledge. Falseness and reality are just a matter of thoughts. Of course, there may be a lot of mischief."
"That's all I can say, but you, why do you suddenly ask this? And it seems to be very bothering you. Have you seen elves?" Modi looked at him suspiciously.
Ye Minglu blinked his uncertain eyes and said, "Ah, because I heard someone talking about elves recently, so I got curious." He didn't want to say anything without certainty.
"Is that just that? Hearsay says it doesn't seem like your style." Modi said suspiciously.
"Uh-huh, listening too much makes me nervous, but after listening to your answers, I feel much more relaxed. I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I went back first. You can continue to practice!"
"Do you want me to accompany you back?" Seeing that Ye Minglu was not in a very good state of mind, Modi was really worried as he had never seen him like this before.
"No, I'm fine, don't worry." Ye Minglu refused, picked up his Fujiki sword, said hello to the president and members, and left the training ground.
What happened? Modi watched Ye Minglu disappear into the training ground with a puzzled look. Suddenly he talked about elves. Did curiosity kill the cat? Or has his identity been exposed? Has he also heard of demon hunting?
"Goodbye, grandpa, thank you for your hospitality!"
In this hot afternoon, Emily spent the whole time in the convenience store, and she was not ready to leave until it was more than two hours before dark.
"Hey, be careful on the way home!" the convenience store man said with concern.
"Um!"
"Home?" When Emily answered, she thought of Ye Ming Road again. Is that considered home? Although he said that it would always be his safe haven.
After walking for a hundred meters, we stopped. There are four forks in Commercial Street, one of which is the direction to the school, the other is the road passing by Yeming Road's house, and the other two are one going out of the city and the other into the city center.
Emily raised her steps in the direction of Ye Minglu's house, but then she thought about it and stopped again. It was me who interfered with his life. Don't involve him in dangerous things. Demon hunters can find him at any time.
Own.
Emily thought for a while, then retracted her raised foot and took a step in a direction she had not taken before. She didn't know whether this road was into the city center or out of the city.
Walking casually on the street, Ye Minglu sighed heavily in despair. Do elves exist? What Modi said seemed reasonable. Is the elf that Emily insists on a prank or real?
Thinking back to the lonely and helpless girl, Ye Minglu felt that what she said was true and believable, based on those men in black running at abnormally fast speeds and her extensive knowledge of furniture.
Under the impact of two kinds of cognition, Ye Minglu felt that his head was about to explode. Choose one of science or "superstition". Science is the most profound thing for Ye Minglu. Teachers, relatives and friends all influenced him in this subtle way.
Instill knowledge into him. As for "superstition", it is somewhat illusory and difficult to confirm.
In the midst of boredom, he unknowingly arrived at the commercial street area. Ye Minglu shook his confused head and decided to stick to science and let the elves and demons hunt aside! Because of this problem, I was going crazy, but it was not worth it.
"Uncle Qin, bring me ten bottles of pure milk in boxes."
Yeming Road stopped at an inconspicuous little convenience store next to the center of the commercial street.
"It's Ming Lu, why, have you finished drinking the milk?" the convenience store old man said kindly.
On the first day of every week, the milk for the previous week must be bought for breakfast. It is an inevitable rule of Ye Minglu's life. Due to Emily's sudden appearance, the milk in the refrigerator will not be enough for one more person to drink.
Consumption, but today is only Thursday.
"I can't help it. Something special happened yesterday. I met a girl on the way who foolishly imagined that she was an elf. I gave her two glasses of milk." Ye Minglu replied slightly awkwardly.
