Whoosh –

The cold wind blows through at night, and the neon lights of the streets gradually go out.

After hearing that she had been rejected by the inn again, Ryumi clasped her shoulders and sat alone on the steps of the inn.

A few drops of sweat slipped down her forehead:

What to do?

There are fewer and fewer hotels, and even if we finally find a place to stay, it is likely that the three of us are crammed into one room.

Ahhh

She couldn't help but cover her face.

Staying with two guys at night was the equivalent of killing me!

Although, although Master HC is a monk.

And this Jingze swordsman ......

He looks very handsome, and he looks quite enthusiastic, but the more this happens, the more nervous I feel.

Although in the Demon Slayer Team, everyone is a swordsman.

Everyone is born and dies together, even if they are of the opposite sex, they don't care about these details.

But I really can't get over it, hey!

Shen slightly noticed that Liumi was sweating profusely:

"Uh-

"Are you unwell? How did I sweat so much. ”

Ryumi hurriedly raised her collar a little to cover more of her face.

"No, it's fine."

Worst.

Mr. Jingze can't see what I'm thinking, right? I'm not behaving very badly, but I can't control it at all!

Woo woo woo~

I'm going to die socially!

However, Shen Luo was completely unaware of the large list of thoughts that Ryumi's mind had made up at this time.

He was thinking about staying overnight.

"If we can't find a place, can we find a temple?"

Shen Luo remembered that two years ago, he went to Cheng'en Monastery and stayed in the meditation room of the monk Huicong.

HC stood on tiptoe:

"I'm ...... Kangkang"

Although Hyakzuru Town is relatively prosperous, it is only the beginning of the 20th century, and there are not so many high-rise buildings, or even buildings with more than three floors.

If you look at it a little, you can see the nearby buildings.

"Uh.

"Master Jingze, I'm afraid not, there are no temples or shrines nearby, I'm afraid we will have to sleep on the streets tonight."

Call~~~

Hearing this, Ryumi finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, there is no need to worry about staying overnight, and camping together in the open air is much more comfortable than squeezing into one room.

Shen Luo stood up:

"Alright then, let's ......"

Just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged woman with confused eyes and a faltering step passed by.

When passing by Shen slightly, the woman suddenly turned around and asked:

"A few friends ......"

Well?

Shen slightly turned his head.

"Friends, have you seen my children?"

The woman looked very haggard and tired with chapped lips, hoarse voice, and bloodshot eyes.

She gestured at her height:

"He's a boy, about the size of my thigh, he's chubby, he has a mole on his ear, and he ran away from home in a pair of pajamas......"

HC shook his head blankly:

"I'm sorry, donor.

"We just arrived in Hyakzuru tonight, and we're not locals."

The woman nodded her head:

"Oh, sorry for the interruption."

Then she turned around and prepared to continue, but after taking less than two steps, she suddenly turned back and asked in a surprised voice:

"You ......

"Are you dressed in this costume a member of the Ghost Slayer Team?"

Shen Luo and the others were all dressed in black, and there was a traditional Chinese character "extinguished" written on the back.

- This is the standard uniform of the Ghost Slayer Team.

Generally speaking, the ghost slayer team members must wear this costume uniformly when performing official duties, and only when they become the queen of the pillars can they wear their own clothes at will.

The three people who were watching her leave were startled.

Shen Luo replied:

"Ah, hello yes.

"We are members of the Ghost Slayer Team, and we are in charge of ghost hunting missions in Hyakzuru Town."

For hundreds of years, the Ghost Slayer Team has been a secret organization, and it was not until everyone thought that Wu Miao was successfully killed and the Ghost Slayer Team was disbanded, and the information was officially disclosed.

Appearing in the public eye, the Ghost Slayer quickly gained a large number of loyal fans.

For example, the original little monk of HC.

Of course, no one expected:

Onimai Tsuji no Misery, the ancestor of the oni who was born in the Heian period and brought a thousand-year-old nightmare to the island, actually made a comeback just two years after the Great War.

And even more powerful.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the middle-aged woman covered her mouth in surprise:

"Great!

"My son is saved this time!"

......

At night, a secluded and indoors.

After Shen Luo and the three of them identified themselves, they were immediately warmly invited to the home by the middle-aged woman.

Through conversation, they learned that the surname of the couple in front of them was "Hasegawa".

Mrs. Hasegawa wiped her tears:

"Woo~

"My son used to be playful, so the two of us didn't hold back, spanked him a few times and told him to concentrate on his schoolwork, but I didn't expect it......

"He was gone that night."

Hey—

Mr. Hasegawa sighed:

"It's been three days, and although we have called the police, there is still no news.

"This kid ......"

Shen Xiao carefully observed the couple in front of him.

Their conversation and demeanor are gentle and elegant, and the tea presented is also of the highest quality, coupled with this clean and elegant attic, it can be seen that the family background and upbringing are quite good.

So maybe be strict with your children.

HC put down the Buddhist beads in his hand:

"We already understand the situation.

"But the two donors, there seems to be no way to be sure that the ghost did it.

"It's very likely that Ling Lang left on his own."

Although the Demon Slayer is strong, they can only deal with ghost-related problems, and they can't be responsible for the loss of the population.

"No!"

Mr. Hasegawa shook his head:

"I woke up that night.

"I seemed to hear a hoarse voice talking to my son in his room, but I disappeared as soon as I walked over, so I didn't go in to see it.

"Now that I think about it......

"There's a good chance it's a ghost."

Mrs. Hasegawa shivered, and this was the last thing she wanted to accept, but she had to think about it.

After all, it is rumored that the ghost king has been resurrected.

In many places in the vicinity, traces of suspected ghost activities have been found.

"They're right."

A crisp and pleasant voice sounded, and it turned out to be Ryumi, who had not made a sound.

HC hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong?"

The tip of Ryumi's nose moved, "I have a special sense of smell, I can smell the breath of ghosts, and in this attic, this smell is extremely strong.

"...... three days ago"

She rubbed her nose and frowned solemnly,

"I've never smelled anything so strong.

"And that child disappeared three days ago, and it's still very pungent to this day, I feel ......"

She stopped suddenly, as if she didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

Shen Luo said patiently:

"It's okay, just say it."

After Ryumi was questioned by Shen slightly, her ears were so shy that they turned red again, but she seemed to be excited when it came to the topic of ghosts, and she overcame social fear for a short time.

She whispered:

"It could be a ghost moon......

"A real Twelve Ghost Moon."

Yes?

HC stopped dialing the beads.

We're too unlucky, aren't we? Why are all the big bosses you encounter?

However, Mr. and Mrs. Hasegawa were at a loss:

"Excuse me, what are the Twelve Ghost Moons?"
