The Book of Maiden Contract

It was only a blink of an eye for Lin Luo to return to the Sky City from the Magic Cannon World. Although it was not the first time he took the Avenue of Stars, after the previous mutation, he bid farewell to the Big Three of the Magic Cannon and returned to his own world. It still made him feel unreal... But since he came back, he had to put aside the things over there for the time being. After all, the Sky City had to be taken care of.

"Huh?" Standing in the atrium, Lin Luo looked around. Originally, he thought that after the last invasion of tens of thousands of people, the city of the sky would be completely damaged, but now it seems that, except for a trace of gunpowder smoke in the forest and mountains below, the city of the sky is intact. It seems that the defense battle is much more beautiful than he imagined... and it must be more difficult.

Just as he had imagined, he didn't see anyone outside, so they were probably resting in the main hall.

Lin Luo stood outside for a while, just looking at the surrounding scenery calmly. After a while, he smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the main hall, but just as he stepped out, suddenly a sense of vigilance arose in his heart, which made him instinctively retreat several tens of meters.

At the same time, he saw that the place where he was standing just now exploded violently, and the gravel flew... The only ones who can instantly blow up the buildings of the Sky City are the strong ones above the ground level!

Lin Luo was startled, and immediately looked up, only to see a girl with brown hair standing not far from the opposite side, shrouded in lightning. The palm of her right hand was slightly opened, pointing at the place where the explosion had occurred before.

"Miqin?!" Lin Luo was stunned, looking at the girl in front of her without knowing why, it was Misaka Mikoto.

"You moved very fast, and you even avoided my blow." An intriguing smile flashed in her eyes, and she raised her fingers to lightly brush the bangs on her forehead. No matter what time she was, she was always so confident. This movement of the girl has undoubtedly become her symbol.

Bilibili!

Hearing this long-forgotten voice, Lin Luo couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help complaining, "What are you doing? I thought there were some enemies." If he hadn't seen the girl in front of him, he would have really suspected that the Sky City had been captured by someone, and that's why he launched such a sudden attack.

"Huh? You still dare to complain!" But for some reason, Lin Luo's words seemed to ignite the girl's anger, and the bursts of flashing current became more violent. She gritted her silver teeth and squeezed the current in her hand. He said arrogantly, "Let's have a fight, so you can't say anything!"

Lin Luo was speechless for a moment. It was the first time in half a year that he finally returned to the Sky City. It was fine if he didn’t greet him warmly, but he even fought with him, “Hey, hey, don’t bring this kind of thing, I just came back...uh!”

He thought that Miqin was just in a state of arrogance and wanted to comfort him, but before he finished speaking, he found that Miqin was no longer on the opposite side.

"Here it is!"

The voice came from his ear, and Lin Luo saw a faint electric light flashing in front of his eyes, he knew that Meiqin had already bullied her. Before thinking, the body reacted instinctively, the teleportation was activated, and he retreated to the edge of the sky city in an instant, but!

"too slow."

The girl's voice followed closely beside him like a shadow, which made Lin Luo's face change. At the same time, he felt a huge force hitting his chest. Even with his current physique, he couldn't bear it a little. There was a cramping pain in his chest and abdomen, and then his whole body flew backwards like a shell being blasted away. He didn't stand in midair until he flew hundreds of meters away.

Looking down, a big hole had been blasted out of the clothes on his chest, and there was a clear fist mark printed on his bare skin. The fist mark did not disappear, and the pain never dissipated, causing him to frown.

This guy... is serious!

Lin Luo was shocked but also baffled. He looked at the girl opposite, and saw that Meiqin was also looking at him, but the expression on her face seemed to be very angry.

"Have you seen my strength?"

"Huh?" Hearing this sentence, Lin Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Miqin was a competitive person. When she was in Academy City, she used to fight with those bad boys. Although she would not be too aggressive to kill people, but sometimes she would strike indiscriminately. Even if the entire school district was blacked out, it would not be strange. So in general, she is a person who yearns for peace and likes to fight.

"Do you want to compete with me?" After thinking about this, Lin Luo suddenly realized. In the Magic Cannon World, when the Book of Contract was available for normal use, he saw that Mikoto had reached the Heart Fusion Realm just like Hatsune, and her overall strength was even stronger than that of a mid-level earth-level at the same level as him.

"Talk about your size!" But Lin Luo obviously misunderstood, Meiqin stared at Lin Luo, then pointed at Lin Luo and said bitterly, "I'm teaching you a lesson, to let you know that I...we are not the kind of people who need protection!"

"That... what are you talking about?" Lin Luo felt that his head was a little hard to use.

"Don't pretend to be crazy!" Meiqin shouted loudly, and then her face gradually calmed down. She stared at Lin Luo and said as she walked towards her, "The last time I talked to you, what were you thinking about?"

Last time?

Lin Luo clearly remembered that the last time she had a conversation with Meiqin was during the Three Kings War. Although she didn’t know how Meiqin did it, it was because of her words that she was able to cheer up and fight wholeheartedly. What she was thinking at that time... “Have you lost the will to fight?” Meiqin’s eyes were unprecedentedly calm, as if she could see through Lin Luo, and said in a deep voice, “Because this world is in danger of destruction and is being invaded by countless powerful enemies, making you think that you are sheltering under your wings We have no possibility of victory, so you can't see hope, despair, and then lose the will to fight, right?"

"This..." Lin Luo was speechless for a moment. He finally knew why Miqin was angry. Although he didn't lose the will to fight at the time, he was really in a state of despair for a while. Most of his mind was focused on the safety of Sky City and everyone, and he couldn't fight with all his strength.

It's just that he didn't know why Miqin knew how he felt at that time.

At this time, Miqin also gave the answer, "Cross-world calling is actually an advanced level of telephony. Although that ability can't be improved on the surface, as long as I reach Heart Blending, I can use telephony from across the world. Of course, the restrictions will be very large. When using it, our spiritual chain is connected, so I can know your state of mind at that time. You should also know this."

That's right, although it is impossible to know what the other party is thinking when using telephony, expressions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are still easy to convey.

"Do you know? When I was in Academy City, I found that you tried your best to stop the experiment of your sisters. Although I was very angry..." Before Lin Luo could answer, Miqin continued, "But I was more happy. At that time, I thought you were my hero. As long as I shouted in my heart, you would definitely come to my side to help me. Until now, I still think so, but!"

Speaking of this, Mikoto's eyes froze, "I'm not the kind of person who is willing to be protected, everyone is too, have you seen this? This city in the sky! This world! It's all protected by our strength! I, everyone, and everyone here are working hard, trying to move forward, trying to become stronger, not standing behind you, but standing on the same horizon with you, we... are not the protected ones!"

"..." Lin Luo lost his voice again.

"I still remember that when I was bound by my own guilt, you came to my spiritual world and pulled me out. That's what you said to me at that time... This time you are not alone, we will start again together!"

Lin Luo couldn't help being stunned. It was a very distant memory, but it was a memory that he would never forget no matter what. It was because of that time that he and the girl in front of him were truly together.

"Because of that sentence, I have the courage to face up to my mistakes, and it also makes me understand that I am not alone in the battle against the darkness of Academy City. It is really a happy thing to have someone to rely on, and someone to fight with me, but that does not mean that we need to be protected by others!"

"Maintain self, maintain self-esteem, this is the personality of everyone's reading ability. People who can only cuddle behind others think that they can do nothing, and when others think that they cannot live without his protection, that person has no dignity! Why don't you believe more? Why don't you have hope in us? Believe that even in despair, you can see hope, and believe that we can become... heroes who protect everything!"

"Meiqin..."

"Give me a good awakening, now I will not show mercy, I will use all my strength to defeat you, just let your body remember that we... don't need to be protected!"

Swish!

As soon as the girl's voice fell, her person had disappeared from the spot, and appeared behind Lin Luo almost at the same time. With a punch, the sky was shattered, and the sound wave was soul-stirring.

Such an attack even changed Lin Luo's face. The whizzing fist pressure was like a roar facing thousands of rivers and mountains, and he felt an irresistible feeling in his heart... It was not an ordinary fight, not an ordinary sparring.

Lin Luo couldn't ignore such awareness, and said seriously, "I will use my best, no problem."

Meiqin smiled proudly, and as she waved her hand, endless thunder fell from the sky, "Of course, if you dare to show mercy, you should first think about the will and the distribution of the estate!"
