34. Sakura of the past

In a trance, as if falling from the clouds, the feeling of excitement, nervousness, and fear instantly enveloped Nangong's whole body. It's a roller coaster, and most people can't even experience bungee jumping. But...... These should all be fake.

No matter what happened around them, these were just phantoms, and even the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array itself was not "real". Don't be afraid...... Open your eyes, otherwise not to mention walking into the two most dangerous doors, even walking into the safe three doors will have no effect!

"Hmm......"

The head hurts, but it hasn't reached the point where Nangong faints. By the time Nangong opened his eyes, the original scenery had disappeared as if it were a joke. Instead, there is a "beautiful" looking ramp, lined with cherry blossom trees that are constantly sprinkling delicate objects on their branches. Indeed, it looks very beautiful, just to look ...... Nothing more.

In fact, this was not a scene that Nangong was in the mood to appreciate at all, because in this place that was supposed to be beautiful and elegant, there were countless corpses lying on both sides of the road. The petals of the cherry blossoms were mixed with the wounds on their corpses, making Nangong unable to retch. The mixture of beauty and ugliness not only does not neutralize it, but even seems more cruel and bloody.

Where the hell is this? And, why did these bodies die, and who did them? And, there must be more anomalies now.

"Captain!"

"Captain! What to do? ”

There was a male noise around him, and while Nangong turned his head, he suddenly noticed the biggest abnormality here.

It's not the beautiful ramp, it's not the "ugly" corpses on both sides of the road. Here, now, this place, is anomalous in itself!

"What do you say?"

Nangong reluctantly perfunctory these guys who called him captain with an unrevealing answer. Regarding their outfits that looked like policemen, but deviated from the policemen in their memory, Nangong finally got the answer after racking his brains.

Although it is only the knowledge gained from foreign dramas and movies, it should be possible to determine the current ...... Scenario. Most of this era should be the neon of the Meiji Restoration, and these guys who shout about their captain should be the same existence as the police of that era. And he is their captain.

This is probably the scene that appeared after breaking into one of the doors of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. What is certain is that this is definitely an illusion, though. The surrounding scenery and these policemen are not to mention for the time being, and even his "role" has become an uncle who looks about middle-aged.

"It's that murderer! What are we going to do!? ”

A young man who looked very unstable shouted at Nangong, "Captain, look, the advance team is all dead, and it must have been done by that murderer alone." I, aren't we going to die now? Dealing with murderers or something, this number of people is too small! ”

"Soul light! Can you kid be a little ambitious!? It's a task, it's an order! Before the guy finished speaking, a middle-aged man beside him rewarded him with a punch, "Even if you die, you will die with the murderer!" ”

"But I know it's death, and I still have to ......"

"Okay, let's say a few words."

Nangong, who was a little nervous in his heart, interrupted this meaningless dispute, although the knife on his waist made him feel a little relieved, but I have to say that the "killer demon" who can kill so many people definitely doesn't care about killing a few more people.

"Now that we've figured out the location of the killer, we're going to have to go over and take a look. Although it doesn't match the identity, wait until you see it before retreating, there is always a reason to explain, right!? ”

If the scene that appears in this door is like the beginning of a game, then as the protagonist, if you don't meet the murderer, I'm afraid you'll have to be the leader of this squad all the time if you don't meet the killer and trigger this "main quest".

Nangong naturally wouldn't be willing to do this kind of thing.

"If you're afraid of death, get out of here! If you're still a cop, stay! After howling a little, although he didn't have any bottom in his heart, Nangong still gritted his teeth and took a big stride.

The team members were stunned for a moment and then all followed, and Nangong, who was walking in the front, just looked around and began to judge the current situation.

As far as he is concerned, even if he steps on the dirt, the magic of the five elements still cannot be used, and most of the time this is also a limitation of the formation. And although he has a knife around his waist, it is obviously not Xijing, it is just a very ordinary knife.

Around, on both sides of the road, there are only corpses and cherry blossoms that are about to bury them, and it is not yet possible to judge whether he will be able to see the youkai as before. All of this is illustrative.

In this place, himself, Nangong, is mostly just an ordinary police captain.

So, which door is this? Dangerous? Safe? Or is it certain death? Although it's a bit nonsense, most of this can be known when you see the "killer" in the mouth of the team members.

There are more and more cherry trees on both sides, and the petals that fall from the trees are gradually becoming denser, which is almost like burying people. Speaking of which, cherry blossom trees seem to be common in this era. Beautiful and elegant, it always feels like you've met it......

"Team, captain...... Look, I see! ”

The young man's panicked and trembling voice suddenly brought Nangong back to his senses. Ah, I see, not far away, at the end of this cherry blossom ramp paved with corpses, there was a slightly sloppy guy leaning against a tree.

One? Not? Is it one? Why just seems to be ......

"Hmm......" This time it was the stinging pain in his eyes, and after the uncomfortable feeling was relieved, the worst idea in Nangong's heart was completely fulfilled.

"Captain!?"

"I'm fine! All hands draw! ”

Eight golden locks, eight identical doors. Three of them were killed, three were injured, and two died. But no matter which door it is, most of them have the same sex.

That's right, in this eight-door golden lock array, there must not be any hesitation. For these are illusions, and everything that appears in these illusions must be false at this very moment.

Even he is just a fictitious police captain, not to mention the murderer and Xixing who has his arm around him! The real Xijing should have been left out of the door by himself. This Xixing here, even if it seems likely to be her past memory, is also "fake" here.

"Murderer!"

Although it was really just a strong support, Nangong was unwilling to back down at this time, "Why don't you run!?" ”

"Why run?"

The scruffy ronin spat out a stick of grass in his mouth. This guy is seeing the scene now......

This murderer is the original owner of Xixun! "I have a name, but I'm too embarrassed to tell you."

“…… This one is out of the way. ”

Nangong clenched the knife in his hand, "Your name, I will get out alive, and then ask from Xijingna." The real Sisunna. ”

Not only Xixun in front of him, but even this "killer demon" became alert after Nangong's words. This is an inevitable result, and for a guy who knows the name of the machine spirit when they first meet, anyone will feel incredible.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you seem to be a funny guy."

The man held Xijing's hand, and then Xixuan gradually turned into the knife that Nangong was all too familiar with. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, after thinking of some very serious problems, Nangong even trembled with nervousness.

The blade of the knife, which began to turn red all over the body, was obviously the appearance of Xixing after it had eaten enough. And in this period, Xijing's food was also very simple and easy to obtain - blood.

Not only Xixing himself, but even Banqing and other youkai have also said that Xixing, who was in its heyday a long, long time ago, is definitely a killing weapon that no one is afraid of. Isn't that exactly what the Xijing is in front of?
