Chapter 170: Immortals and Ghosts (Part II)
"What did you just say, can you say it again?" Nalan Yu tilted his head slightly, as if it was incredulous, and asked, "I, in the human world, what?"
"Since the end of the previous mutation, there have been four cases of villagers going missing. Hua Fan said expressionlessly, "Missing, missing, missing, evaporating from the world." Their bodies were found a few days later, still with the same distorted, terrified expressions they had had on their pre-death moments, and the blood in their bodies had been drained clean. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?"
"So?" Nalan spread his hands and motioned for her to continue, "Your guess is ......"
"I was commissioned by Meine Kamishirasawa to investigate this matter, and my preliminary judgment on this is ......"
Hua Fan stretched out his hand, pointed at Nalan Yu's face, and said sharply:
"Vampire Nalan Twilight, the murderer is you!"
"Poof......"
Nalan Yu almost didn't laugh out loud, he crossed his waist and held his forehead and thought for a while, then said:
"I really don't understand why you think this way, but let's listen to your reasoning first, please ......"
After speaking, he bowed and handed back the right to speak to Hua Fan. And Hua Fan is also not taboo, and he opened his mouth and said:
"Judging from the modus operandi, the murderer is most likely a vampire. And now that the mutation has ended, and the remnants of the vampires who invaded Gensokyo have been wiped out, the only remaining vampires are the three members of the Red Devil Pavilion, Remilia Scarlett, Flandoro Scarlett, and you, Nalantwi, and the three. ”
"And among these three, you are the only one who has never signed a contract with the monsters in Gensokyo, promising not to attack the humans in Gensokyo. ”
"What you say is obviously untenable. Nalan retorted, "First of all, Remilia's attitude can represent my attitude to a certain extent, as well as the attitude of all the vampires who may appear in the Red Devil Pavilion in the future. Since she promised not to attack the humans in Gensokyo, this is also my promise. ”
"Besides, because the victim's blood has been drained, the prisoner must be a vampire, not some other youkai or some clumsy imitator? And are there really just three of us vampires in Gensokyo? Did you come to have a showdown with me after you knew everything thoroughly, or did you just follow your feelings?"
"You can think," Hua said, "I'm acting on instinct." But if I have a list of suspects, Naran, you're the first name on that list. ”
"I know I look very suspicious, but ......" Nalan Xuan paused and continued:
"I'll just say it bluntly, Ibaraki Huafan, I don't need to prove my innocence, and you are not qualified to ask me to do anything. Now, I'm going home with this human, if you must stop me...... Then don't blame me for not reminding you, I'm not easy to mess with. Yanhua, let's go!"
With that, he directly crossed the Hua Fan and took the hand of Yanhua in the Fire who was standing behind her. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around and was about to move forward, Nalan Yu found that the Ibaraki Hua fan had blocked his way to death.
"In other words," Nalan Yu let go of Yan Hua's hand, looked at Hua Fan standing in front of him, and said, "I have no way out, is that what I mean, Miss Hua Fan?"
Hua Fan didn't answer his question, just hugged his arms, held his chest up, and stood motionless, with a blue face, staring at Nalan Hao's eyes, full of murderous energy.
Her answer was clearly written on her face.
"Humph......"
Nalan Yu frowned, then turned his head to Yan Hua and said, "You go, go into the distance." ”
"Good...... Okay!"
When Yanhua ran away, Nalan Yu took three steps back, slightly widening the distance. He first looked at Hua Fan for a while, and when he saw that the other party did not take the initiative, he suddenly relaxed his vigilance, chuckled, and then raised his head and looked at the sky.
"Behold, Hua Fan, look at this sky. He pointed his finger straight above and said.
Although Hua Fan was puzzled, he also raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the sky. At the same time, in order to ensure that she was not attacked, she did not let Nalan Twilight out of her field of vision.
She saw that the sky was clear, without clouds, like the surface of a mirror lake, and the waves were not alarmed. Only an incomplete round of water and moon floated on it, hazy and hazy, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Before you know it, the sky is completely dark, and the moon is gradually rising.
"Night is falling, do you know what that means?" Nalan Twilight said, "You're going to have to fight vampires at night, it's the equivalent of fighting sharks in the sea and dragons in the sky......"
"You're killing yourself!"
In an instant, in an instant that could not be measured by any unit of time measurement, Nalan Yu directly crossed the distance of three steps and pasted it on Hua Fan's face.
Hua Fan remembered that this guy's figure was always within her field of vision, but she really couldn't figure out how he could complete this cheating high-speed movement under her nose.
Without having time to think about it, Hua Fan stretched out his bandaged right hand and met Nalan Yu's oncoming fist.
I only heard a "bang", and the moment she touched her fist, the bandage on her right hand spread out and wrapped around it like a python. Beneath the tightly wrapped bandage, there was nothing.
Ibaraki Hua fan, no right hand.
Unfortunately, this point has long been seen through by Nalan Twilight.
The bandage that flew forward fluttered into the air, dangling in the air for a while, and then returned to Hua Fan's arm, reforming her hollow "right hand". As for Nalan Twilight, he had already returned to the position he had just put himself in, as if he had never left a step. The way he moves is still a mystery to Hua Fan.
"Do you think I'll be deceived by your bandage?" Nalan shook his finger and said to her with some smugness, "Actually, the moment you appeared in front of me, I noticed that there was no temperature under the bandage of your 'right hand' at all!"
"So what?"
Nalan Twilight's overly keen senses brought a little surprise to Hua Fan, but it was not enough to shake her. However, what he said next was far beyond her expectations.
"Are you going to keep pretending?" Ibaraki...... Boy?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Nalan Twilight pronounce out this name, Hua Fan was obviously stunned for a moment, and Nalan Twilight did not let go of this opportunity. He disappeared from Hua Fan's field of vision again, and when he appeared, he was already behind her.
"Oops!"
Hua Fan was startled and was about to turn around, but Nan Nalan Yu took a quick step and slapped the back of her head with a palm. Hua Fan felt the wind pressure in the back of her head - once this palm was hit, she would be considered to be over.
Who knows, Nalan Yu's palm did not hurt Hua Fan at all, but gently wiped it from her hair and took off her two hair scarves.
Hua Fan only felt that his hair was loose, and the head of the tied bun spread out and hung down. Nalan Yu grinned and grinned and grabbed the two pieces of white cloth used to cover the head of the bun and returned to her.
"When you call yourself an immortal, I'm a little strange, isn't an immortal supposed to come out of the mud without being stained? Why does the smell emanating from this immortal look so much like some kind of big monster that has long since disappeared? Now I look at it, my intuition is still more accurate than yours!"
When the hair was scattered, what had been hidden under the heads of the two buns was revealed—two tapered horns, stubby and blunt, which looked rather inconspicuous...... But, that's a horn!
Can there be horned immortals in the world?
Nalan stood with his head held high, his face full of spring breeze, and his momentum was magnificent, as if he had won the battle. Ibaraki Huafan's face was dark, and the righteousness of Fang Cai was gone.
Now she is more like an evil ghost than an immortal.
According to legend, Watanabe Tsunada, a general under Minamoto Yorimitsu, rode home one night, and when he came to a return bridge, he saw a beautiful woman wandering in Si, so he went up to ask, and learned that this woman was lost in Kyoto for the first time. Watanabe Tsunade helped the woman to get on the horse and walk together, all the way to the five ferries, and the woman showed her original form, which was the ghost Ibaraki boy of the great rivers and mountains. When the two were fighting, Tsunade Watanabe cut off one of Ibaraki's arms with a single sword. The Ibaraki boy suffered pain and walked away in defeat. ”
"Strange, why should I mention this story?" Nalan Yu held his chin lightly with one hand, pretending to be authentic, "Maybe it's because he was a demon who once harmed the world, and he is not qualified to judge vampires who have been behaving in a proper manner for hundreds of years!"
"Are you right, a one-armed horned ...... 'immortal'?"
