"You can only endure and endure, or leave. ”

Hearing this, Harusa frowned.

"It took me a long time to get here, and I couldn't leave until I found my target. He said, "How much time is left?"

"The concubine is not sure...... If the Honkai rate is maintained at the current rate, you will probably survive this point and completely collapse, but if the Honkai speed increases, you may not be able to hold out for long. ”

"What happens if this place collapses completely?"

"It's going to change what it's supposed to be. ”

"What is it supposed to look like?"

"The concubine doesn't know. ”

"You don't know how this place came to be, do you?"

"Yes. ”

It's really useless! Harusa wanted to complain like this, but he just thought about it.

To be reasonable, Huang Quan is already very powerful, if it weren't for her, he might not have been here at all.

Now it's a countdown, and the longer he stays here, the more affected he becomes by the debuff until the place collapses or he can't hold on. To complete the mission, you'll have to find the target before the countdown ends.

But how do you find it?

Harusa thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good solution.

You can only look around the town first.

In fact, as long as he has enough patience, he can read the files again and again to see all the towns, which is the so-called carpet search.

After using the spell to conceal himself, Harusa stepped out of the alley and walked along the street, looking around.

……

Kotaro hears terrible rumors on the way to sell charcoal.

The carpenter Shibata family is dead.

Adults and children are all dead and eaten by ghosts!

In addition to them, there are several farmhouses living outside the town that have been eaten by ghosts...... At least a few dozen people have died!!

Hearing this kind of news, Kotaro felt scared, and when he thought of his family, he became even more worried.

It is said that ghosts do not appear during the day, but he is still a little scared, afraid that he will see a bad scene when he returns home.

The charcoal sold very well, and it didn't take long for it to sell out, much earlier than expected, and Kotaro hurried home.

He walked more and more rapidly, and then he simply trotted all the way back home.

Mother, sister, brother...... The faces of his loved ones swirled in his mind, and Kotaro gasped for breath as he traversed the misty mountain road and finally saw his house.

The door is actually open!

In this kind of weather, no normal person will open their doors.

Seeing this scene, the charcoal seller suddenly felt uneasy and his emotions climbed to the top.

Approaching the door, I smelled something strange.

Before the words "Mommy ......" could be finished, he froze because he saw the scene in the room.

The color of blood, torn clothes, the figure of falling to the ground......

"Ah...... Ahh

Mother and younger brother...... He's dead.

Kotaro is reluctant to accept this fact, but the cruel sight is right in front of him, and he screams and cries in great pain, which cannot be changed and cannot be reversed.

Only my sister is still alive.

She was bleeding profusely, very weak, and dying.

As an elder brother, although Kotaro has not yet been able to fully accept the reality, his body moves on its own, and he hurriedly bandages his sister's wounds, and then carries her and runs down the mountain!

Go to a pharmacist for treatment and be sure to save your sister's life.

"Don't die, Fuyumi, don't die......"

Kotaro kept shouting his sister's name and burst into tears.

Carrying a man on his back on a mountain road steeply covered with snow and fog, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily.

"Fuyumi ......" Kotaro didn't even have room to cry out in pain, so he got up to check on his sister's condition.

I saw the latter raise his head and open his eyes, which were scarlet!

"Whew!!"

The girl let out a roar that did not look like a human being, and the canine teeth in her mouth protruded and became long and sharp, like a beast!

"Winter ...... Beauty?" Kotaro was stunned.

He saw his sister on all fours, her palms getting bigger, her nails getting longer, and she became like claws, and then she pounced!!

"Ahh

Kotaro instinctively feared, and his body automatically reacted to avoid it, but he was hit hard by Fuyumi and crushed to the ground.

Seeing the other party's fangs approaching him, the charcoal seller had a premonition of death.

"Don't ...... Fuyumi ...... Don't ......" He resisted desperately, and the strength he had cultivated over many years of work played a role, pushing the girl away.

"Whoa—" Fuyumi roared, claws piercing through her brother's clothes and into his body.

"Ahhh

However, Fuyumi immediately pounced again.

The charcoal seller was running out of strength, looking at his sister's ghostly face, unable to think, only pain, sorrow and despair.

The first time he saw his sister flashed in his mind, the day she was born was also such a snowy day, the little baby girl was held in her mother's arms, and her father gently said You will be an older brother from today onwards, and you must take care of your sister......

Father...... I'm sorry......

Kotaro closed his eyes.

In the next moment, there was a bang, and he suddenly felt a lightness on his body as he waited for death.

When you open your eyes, you see a samurai-sama!

Dressed in white feathers, black culottes, holding a long knife, with long hair tied into a ponytail, his face is very handsome, to the point that it is difficult to distinguish the gender.

This is the second time in Kotaro's life that he has seen such a handsome character.

The handsome warrior was slowly drawing his sword from its sheath, and where his cold gaze was directed was the girl who had fallen a few meters away.

"Whew!!" Fuyumi yelled, got up and pounced fiercely.

The handsome samurai's figure flashed, and he spun around the back of the girl's side with a high-speed step, and the long knife stabbed her in the back with a blow from the sheath at the same time, nailing her to the ground!

Fuyumi let out a cry of pain and frantically flailed her claws.

The handsome samurai's eyes were indifferent, and he was about to move his long knife with both hands to execute her.

"Wait...... Wait!!" Kotaro shouted when he saw this scene.

"Don't ...... My lord...... Please don't kill her...... She's my sister......" The charcoal seller pleaded with tears on his knees, "my only surviving family member...... It's just her...... Mom...... Brother...... All dead...... Please don't ......"

He was incoherent, just pleading desperately, hoping that the samurai-sama would let his sister live.

The handsome samurai turned his head to look at him.

"She's become a ghost and can't be helped. ”

"No...... No...... Saved...... There will be salvation...... I'm not going to let her eat people...... I'll watch her and keep her from eating people, and then find a way to save her......" Kotaro said as he tried his best to move his tongue, which was not very dexterous.

Whether there is really a way, whether he can do it, and how to look at his sister who has become a monster, he didn't think about it, he didn't think about it at all...... At this moment, he only understood one thing: if he didn't convince this samurai, his sister would die!

I don't want Fuyumi to die, even though she's become a ghost.

"Please...... I beg you to ......" The humble charcoal seller burst into tears and pleaded with the noble and powerful samurai.

The ghost girl who was pinned to the ground was still struggling.

The handsome samurai's gaze turned away from the ghost girl to look at her brother.

"Don't leave life and death to someone else. "If you want to stop me from killing her, kill me." ”
