() The interior of the subway station has been occupied by several living corpses and real corpses. The brand-new corpses lying on the ground are the victims of the living corpses. The living corpses are fleeing because of humans and cannot help themselves.

When they entered the sun and were wandering around aimlessly, a motorcycle came in at an unabated speed and knocked a living corpse in front of them into the wall. With the sound of bones breaking, they fell to the floor.

Can't move anymore.

The Burning Official who rushed in dropped his stalled motorcycle and ran towards the remaining living corpses. The living corpse that rushed towards him was grabbed by his arm and twisted back, causing the joints to shatter.

"Even if you are immortal, you can't move if the joints of your limbs are destroyed. Just wait for me to destroy the body of the phantom book." Hal, the book-burning official, looked down coldly and fell to the ground but didn't move.

The living corpse that stopped struggling said, but when he looked around for the remaining enemies, he couldn't help but frown.

Deep in the subway station, more and more new living corpses appeared. The number far exceeded Hal's imagination. There were more than twenty of them at a rough count. At some point, a group of living corpses were coming towards them from behind.

He approached, completely surrounding him and Silver Girl Fran.

"Look behind you, Hal." Fran said looking at the shaken Hal with satisfaction. The Book Burner followed the direction indicated by the girl in tights and looked at the huge sign hanging on the wall of the station, with some densely written words on it.

Small text that can't be read clearly from too far away.

"A guide board with a subway map? No!" Hal said expressionlessly, suddenly trembling as if he was electrocuted, and even his tone changed: "Could it be that... it's a phantom book? A phantom book disguised as a phantom book

Is it to be a guide board for the public to read?!"

Fran smiled and nodded, responding to Hal's disbelief.

"The Book of Atonement" - essentially, this phantom book was used by humans in the past for the most heinous criminals. Once you read it, your soul will be deprived of it, and you will become a person who only knows how to obey the orders of the owner of the phantom book.

Puppet, but one more thing that needs to be explained is that the phantom book does not only have the original effect, even if it is just copied or copied, any paper can produce the same effect as the original book.

If a line map is posted at a subway station, many people will definitely look at it. Even if they notice that this is not an ordinary line map, there will still be people who may be interested and read it.

"What should we do, Hal? It's a big crisis." What Fran said is right. If you just leave it alone, then once it gets completely dark, the living corpses in the subway station will come to the road.

It causes harm to ordinary people, and also allows the culprit of this matter to get the desired result.

"This is not a problem, as long as the guide board is destroyed, it will be solved."

"Is it possible to destroy it? The closer you get to the guide board, the more living corpses there will be?" Regarding Hal's calm attitude, Fran made a disdainful laugh without hesitation, as if she was mocking Burn.

The scribe's overestimation of his abilities.

Hal did not answer Fran's disdainful question, but directly demonstrated his determination with practical actions. He destroyed each of the living corpse doors blocking his eyes, gradually shortening the distance between him and the guide board, but the other party's

There were simply too many of them. In terms of strength alone, the living zombies were stronger than Hal. Countless living zombies rushed forward and blocked Hal's movements. The powerful nests pressed against Hal's bones, making him unable to help but

A painful figure was emitted.

"I thought you could hold on longer, but I didn't expect you were caught so quickly." With a slightly teasing tone, Hal didn't even react to what was happening around him, just a gust of wind flying quickly.

It was just brushed by, and then the living corpses around them fell limply to the ground one by one, their bodies twitching as if they wanted to stand up again.

"Even if a person has died once, the functions of acupuncture points in every part of the body are still retained."

The next second, Hal saw a familiar figure standing in front of the phantom book disguised as a guide board. He was about to speak out to stop the other person from reading, but the figure in front of him said something: "

Don’t worry, I no longer have such a thing as a soul.”

Hal couldn't understand the true meaning of Kirito's words for a while. Except for his heart, his body was made up of the evil of this world. In a sense, Kirito did indeed have no soul.

"Hey, I can't understand it at all." A very thin light as thin as hair flashed past the middle of the guide board without any special effects sound. The guide board was completely divided into two halves directly in the middle. The cutting surface

It was extremely smooth, as if someone had measured it with a ruler.

"Hey... Black Reader, your key keeper is really amazing, you are not like an ordinary person at all." After the incident, Fran quietly approached Dalian and rubbed the black clothes with her elbow.

The girl's belly whispered: "If there is any way to become stronger, tell that big guy Hal."

"This..." Under Fran's incomprehensible gaze, Dalian's pretty pink face instantly turned red. Obviously, she was thinking of the shameless things she did with Kirito at night.

bed exercises.

"There's something fishy." Just like a woman's intuition, Fran always felt that something unclear happened between the Kuro no Yomi in front of her and her key keeper, but she couldn't tell what it was, so she was just suspicious.

He glanced at Dalian, who was reluctant to say anything, and looked away.

"Why do you want to save me?!" Hal looked at the beautiful young man walking leisurely and leisurely in front of him with an angry look on his face, and asked in a slightly threatening tone.

"I'm not here to save you, but if you die, Gin no Yomi's position will become very troublesome, and the living corpses in the subway station must be cleaned up, don't you think?

?" Kirito raised his eyebrows, his tone obviously filled with ridicule.

"Hmph!" Hal didn't appreciate Kirito's reasonable explanation and snorted coldly, but the anger on his face softened a little. He was not the kind of man who didn't understand anything. He rushed alone before.

The reckless behavior that came in was just because the phantom book in the past had caused him very bad memories.

"Did the initiator of this incident also launch the same terrorist attack in other subway stations?" Hal looked down at the living corpse on the ground that was still twitching and trying to get up, and his tone became angry again.

He became rude, but faced this Kirito and retorted mercilessly: "I'm afraid that's not the case. This attack is probably just a feint..."

Kirito pointed at the guide board and sighed, but affirmed: "That guide board... just looking at it from a distance, you can see that there is a lot of text on it, almost as much as an entire page of a newspaper, even if it is disguised as

Only a very small number of people actually read the subway guide boards to the end, so the degree of harm is not very great.

Indeed, as Kirito said, the number of living corpses in the subway station is only about a few dozen, which is almost the damage that a bomb can cause. In terms of results, it is not ideal. If you want to achieve the effect of a people's riot

, at least it requires almost 80% of the human population in the royal capital to read the fantasy book, but this method is really not ideal.

After walking out of the subway station, Kirito was thinking about the real thoughts of the criminal in the incident. He accidentally saw a newspaper that was blown everywhere by the wind. He suddenly showed a look of realization and shouted "I understand".

This action made the three people on the side who were also thinking about it jump.

"Speaking of which...tomorrow is the FA Cup." The FA Cup is actually just a football match. It is the most authoritative competition in this country, and it is held today in the stadium in the royal capital, but it does not have anything to do with football.

Naturally, Kirito and Dalian, who liked it, didn't go to watch it. In Dalian's words, it was "just a bunch of carrot legs fighting for a ball."

"Although I don't know much about this, it should be the most popular sports game in this country." Hal emphasized. For the most popular game in the capital, the result of the game is naturally also very concerned by football fans, so

The prisoner probably only needs to distribute the phantom book disguised as today's special number. In the next second, I believe that the entire capital will become a hell on earth.

"Dalian?" Kirito stroked the head of the petite black-clothed girl walking to his right and asked in a questioning tone, but the result he got was somewhat unsatisfactory: "It's useless, there is no time."

As Darian said, there is no time, because nearly two hours have passed since the start of the game, and there are probably only ten minutes left before the end of the game. We have to find out in such a short time

The holders of the phantom book and destroyed the foreign accounts they prepared. Even if it is known that they are disguised as newspaper sellers, the possibility of this is close to zero.

A sense of powerlessness struck everyone. At this time, the setting sun began to sink under the western horizon. This also heralded the coming of night. There will no longer be any place in the city that living corpses cannot reach.

Kirito smiled and untied the black fingerless glove on his right hand. His empty right hand unexpectedly grasped a gold key with a ruby ​​on the top. Kirito said: "Darian

, can I borrow a book from you?"
