"Help—"

The rat, which had been running in one direction, suddenly lost its target and began to chase humans to nibble again. A boy climbed a tree, and the rats below bit his shoes, belt, and almost covered his skin.

"Suzu ......"

A red thread tied to the bell wrapped around his wrist and ripped him off.

"Ahh

The boy fell to the ground, thinking he was going to be eaten, and curled up with his head in his hands.

Hitomi stood next to her, and an oversized pentagram was placed around her with red threads. Once the rat touches it, it will only follow the direction of the red line, just like entering a maze, and will never reach the center.

The effect is very similar to the Five Elements Bagua.

She's pretty good.

Sensing my gaze, the originally quiet expression suddenly became enthusiastic. Before I could be targeted by her, I hurried away. Her enchantment is not to be underestimated, and if she gets serious, she may have to get rid of it in a while.

"Lord Lin, Lord Kikyo is ahead." The flying insects sent out found her.

"I see."

Kikyo has two shikigami around him, a bird and a butterfly. She looked better than she had seen before, and was drawing her bow to the crate of mice.

"Whew!"

Breaking the barrier of the white boy, the rats that were rampant around him also disappeared.

I descended and stood in front of her. She was a little surprised to see me, "I didn't expect you to come to me." ”

yes, I should have ignored her stubbornly after saying such ugly things. But now, this is not the time to save face.

"I'm looking for you."

Kikyo looked around, "It's not safe here, the white boy will come over soon." ”

"Then let's find a place."

I walked away from here with her, and found that there was no breath of Naraku in her vicinity. It's so strange that he wouldn't follow Kikyo? That's the only case where he can't keep up.

"Isn't Naraku here?"

Kikyo said calmly, "He's gone." ”

Let's go? Which one is gone? I wanted to ask again, but she took a few quick steps, obviously not wanting to tell me much about him.

……

"It's far enough here, you name it."

I took out the last of the Four Souls Jade fragment.

"This, Qu Ling is inside."

She picked it up and looked at it carefully, "And Tsuiko?" ”

"Yes, she helped me control Qu Ling, but not for long."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Tsuiko said, you have a way to deal with it."

Kikyo uses spiritual power to purify the fragments. It glowed with pure light, and I hurriedly took a few steps back.

"......" scared me, and I thought that we would be purified together.

She saw my violent reaction and realized, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you were scared." ”

“…… Never mind. ”

"Whoa." She gave me back the pieces. "As long as it stays like this, it can't come out and make waves."

Where do I dare to take it.

"Can you think of a solution?"

"Why?"

Knowingly, he asked, "If you want to ask me, just say it." ”

She was also unceremoniously, "What do you have to do with Qu Ling?" ”

"Similar, twins?" This analogy is the closest.

"So it's imprisoned, and you're going to be affected too?"

"Like you purify a fragment, it doesn't matter. If it's a whole block, I can't get out. I'd like to ask you to help me think about whether there is a way to just cull it. ”

"Shouldn't this be asked of you?"

I was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Listen to you, it comes from the same roots as you, then you should be the one who knows it best."

It is because of understanding that there is no way.

I told her the truth, "It has no substance, it doesn't die, it can only be suppressed, not destroyed." ”

"That's not right." Kikyo keenly spotted the problem, "There is no immortal existence, since it is derived from the jade of the four souls, then as long as the jade disappears completely, it will also disappear." ”

It would be dangerous to continue talking about this topic, and if I told her that I was from the same power as it, she would soon think that my weakness was also the Jade of the Four Souls.

"What disappears, no kidding, how can it suddenly disappear. Even if it goes to another world, it will definitely come back, just as Kagome brought it back from the modern era. ”

"If it can be born, it will disappear, but we don't know how yet." She smiled slyly, "You know how to do it. ”

“…… I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"It's normal if you don't tell me, but you can't hide it for long."

It's so hard to chat, and every sentence is digging into my bottom line.

Probably because my face was not good, her aura eased a little.

"Give me your hand."

I had a twelve-level alert in my head: "What do you want to do?!" ”

If she wants to purify me, I'll fight with her.

"I want to see what you're clinging to?"

I didn't expect her to say such a thing, no one had ever said that to me, and it sounded like I was a lonely soul lost in the world.

"It's none of your business." I don't want to be touched by her.

"Don't you want to be redeemed?"

"What kind of salvation is not salvation, don't think that if you cross the white-hearted Venerable, you can point fingers at me, you can figure out your own affairs before you come!"

Kikyo didn't get angry at me because of my bad words. Persuade more patiently:

"I don't mean to overtake you, I just want to understand you, otherwise I can only see you as evil based on your appearance. I know you're different from Qu Ling, but I can't know what's different, so don't let me confuse you, I need to feel the evidence with my own hands. ”

She stretched out her white hand, without any spiritual power on it. If you touch her, will it get better.

Definitely not.

However, she will not understand me.

It turns out that I am so lonely in my heart, longing for someone to understand me and pull me.

When I came back to my senses, I had put my hands on them. She closed her eyes and felt it for a while, and said:

"You're different."

"What's the difference?"

"It's hard to describe, but I'm sure of my attitude toward you in the future. You used to be human, right? ”

"You can see that too??"

"Even if it's been a long time, there are some traits that can't be hidden, such as how kind you used to be."

This is really strange.

"You use the word "once" to describe me, meaning I'm not kind now?"

"No, it's just that it's going to be hard and dusty. That's why you can't be a wicked person, and it's completely contrary to your body. ”

She said sincerely: "There are some things, just let go, do you want to keep this form alive forever?" No matter how much you try to remedy it, you can't go back to the way it was, so let yourself go. ”

“……”

How can I just let go, it's absolutely impossible for me to disappear into this world!

"You?!"

The black gas that emanated from my hands crawled onto her, and although she quickly shook it off, it was still eroded. She covered her shoulders and peeled off her collar, the old wounds cracking open and steaming black.
