Purgatory Ukiyo-e:

Ink night, black forest, a blood-dripping female corpse hanging from the locust treetops. She stuck out her tongue slightly, her eyes staring as if she couldn't close them, and the black-red blood slowly slid across her originally beautiful face, soaking her white clothes little by little......

Many people think that there are no ghosts in this world, and this misconception continues until the fierce ghosts suddenly appear in your life, tearing apart your peaceful daily nakedness, tearing your warm muscles with their claws, and kissing your crimson blood......

On the Violet Highway in the 9th arrondissement, there are cases of nocturnal disappearances of night walkers almost every few years.

Some can still find mutilated and broken corpses, while others, even the corpses are gone, completely erased from all traces of life, leaving only the painful wails of the loved ones who love you.

The most passionate and exhilarating symphony is played.

At midnight, a dazzling sports car with a blood-red body was running wildly on the remote violet road, and a handsome man with long hair and pale skin in a burgundy shawl shook his head, enjoying the thrill of the intense stimulation of blood rushing through his veins in the loud music and high-speed drag racing.

He was undoubtedly a prodigal man of great elegance and pleasure in life, depraved and depraved, noble and unclean.

Empty life, only the meaning brought by sensory stimulation remains.

However, at this moment, the corner of the swinger's eyes suddenly saw a touch of white beauty, a girl who bloomed as brightly as a lily in the night, which made him stunned for a moment.

Slam on the brakes, hold the steering wheel with your right hand, and gently move the mirror socket on the bridge of your nose with your left hand.

The blood-red sports car, which was speeding at high speed, suddenly stopped after a piercing sound of friction between the wheels and the ground, and stopped sideways in front of a girl in a white dress on the side of the street who looked extremely pure and beautiful.

Opened the door and got out of the car like a dance, exaggerated movements, handsome faces, and luxurious private cars......

With his right hand on his chest and bowing deeply, the prodigal nobleman with long dazzling red hair looked at his target for the night, his red lips as if they had been smeared with blood, and his sinister curvature was unrestrained, revealing a hint of danger in the incomparably bewildering.

"Beautiful young lady, your delicate bloom like a rose and as gorgeous as a violet, I wonder if I am lucky enough to escort you on your journey home?"

The red trench coat, the illustrious bloody hair, the crimson high-end sports car, all of these seemed to constitute a hint of danger, which made the beauty in the white dress who was caught off guard a little panicked and even cowered back, with a pair of small hands behind her back.

She didn't seem to know that such an action accentuated the fullness of her chest.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I'm not going home. I, I can't go home. ”

Cowardly and weakly refused, like a water lotus flower that is not able to overcome the shyness of the cold wind.

It's just such a remote neighborhood, such a deep night, if you miss the car in front of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for the second car tonight.

"How could someone like you be willing to abandon you in the cold wind at midnight, and in such a remote place?"

"yes, I don't understand why he left me in the cold wind and buried me in such a remote place......"

"What?"

"Uh, nothing, I just didn't say anything."

In the eyes of the noble boy who loves red, he coaxed the shy beauty in the white dress into the sports car, watching the girl hesitate again and again in front of the crimson sports car, and even asked him to invite him twice or three times before timidly getting into the sports car, the smile on the corner of the noble son's mouth became more and more obvious......

He said he was sending the girl home, but in fact, the luxury sports car, which was all crimson in its flesh, came to a stop in the shadow of a remote corner.

"Huh"

Laughing and throwing off his coat, the red man turned on the roof headlights, leaned his arms sideways, and stared at the girl in the white dress on the side seat with obvious ill intentions, like a wolf who saw a fat lamb.

After a moment, he pounced, closed his eyes slightly and kissed the living person, wantonly tearing off the obstructive dress, but he suddenly heard the beauty in his arms make a cold and dry voice and asked, "He, why did he leave me in the cold wind and buried me in such a remote place?"

I can't go home, my husband killed me for a bitch and buried me on the outskirts of the road, you say, why is all this? ”

"What are you talking nonsense?!"

The person in his arms was getting colder and colder, not only the tone of his speech, but also the originally warm body, the disheveled red-haired noble boy noticed that something was wrong, and suddenly opened his eyes, but what he saw was a corpse that was almost decomposed.

A foul smell permeated his mouth and nose, and the russet, blackened corpse had a white dress that was almost half decayed......

"Come, dear, don't you love me?"

The corpse's mouth slowly opened to the point that a normal human would never be able to open, and the black and yellow corpse fluid dripped down the sharp yellow teeth. The noble son was stunned......

"Mommy !!"

The terrible screams resounded through the alleys, but at this moment, let alone call Mom, it was useless to call God.

The half-rotten corpse's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, accompanied by dripping fishy corpse fluid, as well as the fierce light of the ghostly eyes that did not belong to humans. Covered with crimson blood and endless resentment and hatred.

The female ghost's corpse suddenly pushed the red-haired man back, and the sharp teeth that opened up and down wanted to bite his throat, but because of the fierce struggle of the other party, he bit the man's shoulder, and the warm blood flowed into the throat at once, and death and life were intertwined, which was really extremely happy.

In the crisis of life and death, the red-haired man suddenly exerted his strength under the severe pain and pushed the ghost on his body away, but this was a huge power that the female ghost had never felt, and it was really pushed away by it.

Embarrassed to turn over and get out of the car, his hair was disheveled, and then the red-haired man covered his bleeding shoulders but did not go far, but crawled and dodged to the trunk of the crimson sports car, but the terrifying female ghost in the car laughed, rotten to the point of almost skeleton grimace, showing an absolutely disgusting smile.

The whole body suddenly exerted force, and the glass on all sides was shocked and exploded, and the evil ghost suddenly penetrated the back window as if it could fly, and pounced on the red-haired man with a strange white face.

As they got closer and closer, the ten blue and unusually long nails seemed to be getting closer and closer to each other, but the female ghost was stunned to find that the red-haired man's face had a dangerous smile again.

He shouted presumptuously: "Ino, don't you come out yet, don't you want to pick a son and do it alone?" ”

Just when the ten dagger-like claws of the female ghost who flew and pounced were about to catch the red-haired man, the trunk lid of the crimson sports car suddenly opened, and the trunk lid that was suddenly erected slammed into the female ghost's corpse, knocking the female ghost out of the air for a long distance, and the corpse liquid splashed.

However, not only that, but there was also a shadow that was darker than the night, and the demon corpse bounced in the air, and in a hurry, all I saw was the jet-black trench coat, the pitch-black hair, and a pair of jet-black eyes that radiated a dazzling light in the night......

"Black-clothed, black-haired, black-eyed, the machhunter rookie 'Greedy Blade' Eno Afar, who has suddenly risen recently?"

Along with the flow of information in his mind, as well as the severe pain that he had never endured for more than a hundred years, Eno Afar, who was suddenly killed, held a bright silver double-edged sword in both hands, as if the weight of the whole person was attached to the sword, followed the female ghost's flying figure, and slashed more than ten swords like lightning.

Fast, accurate, ruthless, more than ten swords in an instant, the sword is like a spear stabbing an axe, breaking the body into the bones, and the strength is amazing.

There was a dull "bang", accompanied by a silver rainbow, like a heroic swing of a home run, and the female ghost's body smashed into the dark corner, and the messy trash cans were smashed and rolled in all directions.

It was only now that she or rather, or rather it, knew the true purpose of the car driving into this dark corner.

"Hehe, Ino, don't save face for me, let it go, don't talk about people in this place I deliberately chose, there is not even a ghost in the middle of the night, so I don't have to worry about being seen at all."

Sprinkled a packet of silver powder on his bitten shoulder, but there was a "rustle......" sound and white smoke, and the red-haired man frowned, although he was happy, but it didn't hurt.

Then he suddenly took out an extremely heavy revolver from the kicked trunk, and fired a cathartic ferocious shot at the female ghost who had been cut down by the black-haired youth, until the silver-plated bullets in the machine gun rotor were empty.

"Grandma's, it's much happier. Ino, go up and get rid of it once and for all, and I'll cover you in the back. ”

Throwing away the heavy machine gun that had run out of bullets, and replacing it with a large-caliber shotgun with stronger impact and more field control effect, the red-haired man said to the young man holding the sword in front of him. It's just that he didn't move when he saw his comrades-in-arms, but his face was solemn and even nervous.

Such an expression made the red-haired man frown slightly, although the cooperation time was not too long, but he knew how strong the black-haired, black-eyed, and cold-weapon melee companion in front of him was.

The combination of flexible and vigorous skills, fierce and exquisite swordsmanship, and terrifying willpower has formed a name that has resounded in the "circle" in a short period of time: "The ghost eater in black clothes, black hair, and black eyes: Eno Afar."

This is a ruthless character who can squeeze oil and water from dry bones, stepping on the bones of evil spirits and ghosts, and in just a few months, he has become famous in the "witcher" circle. can make such a man stop, the strength of the opponent can be imagined.

In the next moment, the black qi in the shadows in the deep alley also proved the wisdom and correctness of the black-haired young man's attitude of pressing his sword and not moving.

"Huh...... Trying to kill me. How do you kill someone who has already been killed? Woohoo woo woo ......"

At the same time as the black qi dispersed, there was a woman's cry of pain, endless resentment, and in the shadows that the ghoul smashed past, what was scattered was a dark aura that was darker than the night, and there were a large number of men's heads and faces twisted and opened their mouths in between.

They or they don't make the slightest sound, but their pain and despair can be easily perceived just by their expressions.

"Stepping back, this is a very grudgeful and old earthbound spirit, and you can imagine her power just by looking at how much she can bind the souls of so many victims...... It will be on time, and this time there is no room for error. ”

Stretching out his left hand, he stopped in front of his companion at his side, but Ino felt bitter in his heart.

After all, there is a mutant murder soul with an evaluation of "level five" in front of him, but in fact, in terms of level, it has exceeded the level that the two of them can handle, and this time he came to kill it, but it was because he performed too well in the previous task......

"The Yin Spirit of the Storm, gathered at the command of death...... Form a tornado and tear everything apart! ”

"The sun, the yin, the yellow springs and the nine lands...... Be born again, be born again, be born again! "The mysterious incantation resounded through the empty alley, but it was the evil ghost in the dark mist and the black-haired youth casting the spell at the same time.

In the thick black mist, the demon once again transformed into the image of a pure beautiful girl in a white dress, only this time her eyes were a bloody red color, and the viciousness and ferocity that flickered in it turned into a faint yellow pupil and bloodshot entangled in her eyes.

The black mist around it swirled, turning into a substantial pitch-black tornado with the incantation, and even the distorted man's face in the black mist was constantly involved in it, adding to the richness and distortion of the pitch-black whirlwind......

In contrast, Eno Afar's spell casting process was too petty, with no swirling air currents, no powerful manifestations, only tongue-twisting spells and pitch-black cards in his hands.

The thin paper card covered with layers of strange textures on the surface was tightly clamped by its index finger and middle finger, and a little spiritual power poured into it, so that the paper card, which was originally pitch black on both sides, manifested in the direction facing the female ghost: "In the dark night, the scene of three broken skeleton soldiers with swords and axes walking back and forth. ”

The pale and scorched bones, the beating pale red soul fire, and the dancing skeleton soldiers manifested their truth, walked out of the cards in the young man's hand, and rushed forward in the direction of the female ghost with a "click".

The spell casting method of the God Eater has reduced the mental consumption a lot compared to the pure spell casting, but after the spell is cast, Ino's face is still pale, he just maintains the spirit that does not affect his melee combat, and the other slightly excess mental power is used by him to summon the card "Necromantic Guardian".

Before the three skeletons deceived the female ghost closely, the violent yin wind had already formed and roared, and the red-haired man behind Eno had already shot several tubes of shotguns one after another, but the powerful impact of the large-caliber shotgun was not as effective as imagined, except for the exorcism effect of the silver sand itself on the dark power, the power of the shotgun could be said to be unsuccessful.

Ino, the red-haired man, and the three necromantic guards who stood in front were all swept into the whirlwind of black ash, and the powerful corrosive force corroded and even tore at the flesh and bones that existed within them, if it weren't for Ino summoning three necromantic guards in advance to share, turning the two affected units into five, the situation at this moment would be even more difficult.

Just as the power of the Yin Spirit Storm was about to be exerted to its fullest, the pitch-black whirlwind suddenly shattered, and the whirlwind dissipated, although he was full of embarrassment, neither the black-haired young man dressed in black nor the red-haired man behind him was not harmed, and even the necromantic guards with weak defense only fell.

However, the terrifying female ghost who was still majestic just now fell to her knees on the ground and coughed up blood at this moment.

"How, how so?"

The strength of the whole body is inexplicably fading, and the appearance of the female ghost has gradually changed from the most beautiful human body to ugly rotten bones, half of the beautiful and crystalline muscles and skin have not faded, and the other side has rotted, revealing Bai Sensen's bones.

However, Ino looked at this terrifying scene, but showed a relieved smile: "Sure enough, there is a flaw, I said, since it is a 'mission', it will not be unsolvable." ”

"Is it blood, there's something wrong with your blood, holy water or silver?"

The ghost, which was half-human, half-ghost, and even smoked all over its body, howled violently, but its yellowish and reddish pupils stared at the handsome red-haired man behind Eno Afar.

I saw this noble prince covering his chest and bowing very elegantly, and then laughed and brushed the red hair on the side of his face, tore it hard at the side of his face, and finally pulled the artificial skin off his face, revealing a gorgeous and arrogant pretty face.

Although it is only the delicate and tender appearance of a girl, the unbridled enthusiasm and aggression are undoubtedly revealed on the girl's face.

He, or her, stared at the screaming demon in front of him with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, as a woman, I don't seem to meet your hunting standards of 'resentful and unfaithful men', my blood means to you the taboo of destroying the 'foundation of existence', which can be said to be more poisonous than holy water or silver." ”

Estimating that Eliza's blood was almost effective, Ino took two steps forward without hesitation, raised the sword in his hand and slashed down, which meant that another difficult demon hunting task was truly completed.

The sharp double-edged long sword slashed at the side of the female ghost's neck, but it was slashed on the shoulder under the opponent's best dodge, but Eliza on the side behind it suddenly fired a shot, and the full silver sand bullet of the shotgun hit the female ghost's thigh with the impact, making it stiff, and Ino slashed with the side blade, and the weird head that was half a beautiful girl and half a corrupt skeleton was easily cut off.

Hunting monsters, many times it does not rely on absolute power, intelligence, traps, and the grasp of the situation can often determine the success of a hunt.
