The courtyard seemed somewhat silent in the dark night.

In the courtyard, Yato was lying on the ground with a painful expression, while Xue Yin stood aside with a cold face, not feeling guilty about the scene in front of him.

In Yato's current state, he won't be able to survive until tomorrow morning if he doesn't pull out the plucking as soon as possible, so after discovering it, Daikoku drove to other major shrines, hoping to borrow artifacts from those gods to help Yato pull out.

It can be seen that although Yato has been very out of tune over the years, he still has a few true friends, and the artifact that held the pulling ceremony itself is in great danger, but Daikoku didn't even hesitate and started to act directly.

"You ...... guy"

Wood squatted next to Yato, looked at Yato's painful look and smiled bitterly, "It's really not immortal." ”

“……”

Yato didn't answer, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wood in pain.

"But ......"

A scarlet glint gradually flashed in Wood's eyes, and a terrifying killing intent instantly diffused, adding a bit of harshness to the already cold night in early spring: "As long as you nod your head, I will help you kill this little ghost now." ”

What the?

Xueyin's face turned pale instantly, and she staggered back a few steps.

Or...... Give my power to you, and you will put an end to it yourself. ”

Wood stretched out his hand to Yato's face, and the scarlet blood mist enveloped the entire courtyard in an instant, as long as Yato held his hand, Wood would turn into a blood scythe, and use his own blood energy to protect Yato at the same time, let him kill Yukine!

It's not a test, and it's not an attempt to change the development of the original book, but he genuinely hopes that Yato will do the same.

Wood's sense of foreboding had become even stronger by the time Yato arrived, and if he didn't do anything, he might end up being implicated.

The night fight was an excellent opportunity for his father, and it was a chance to catch Wood off guard; So if things go unfolded, they are likely to ...... Voluntarily walked into the trap of Hiroto Fujisaki.

So it's not just for Yato, it's also for yourself.

Just kill Xueyin.

Xiaofu stood aside, quietly watching the scene in front of her, and did not stop it, because in her opinion, this was also the best choice.

This kind of artifact that stabbed its master to such an extent that he had no repentance......

It's not a pity to die!!

"No, that's cruel."

At this time, the voice of Ichiki Hiwa came from the house, she was different from Yato in that she was stabbed by an artifact and was infected, so she had already washed off her body with the clean water in the house: "Xueyin is still just a child, how can he be killed just because of a little mistake." ”

"A little mistake?"

Wood glanced at Yato on the ground with a sneering face: "This guy who killed himself has become like this, or is it a mistake?" ”

"And ......"

Wood glanced at Xue Yin: "You seem to have misunderstood something, the word cruelty itself is not suitable for me, because...... I was originally a bad person; As long as it is to protect myself, even if it is to kill millions, tens of millions of humans, or even all human beings, I can do it naturally! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent.

The reaction of everyone was disbelief, but seeing Wood's expression that was not a joke, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Wood had a butcher-like indifference on his face, he didn't just say it, he didn't know how many people he had killed by his own hands in the darkness, and there were countless humans who had died because of his plan, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was millions.

As long as it's for himself, for the people he cares about, Wood can do anything.

“！？”

At this moment, Yato grabbed Wood's wrist, causing a flash of joy on Wood's face.

Can......

“… Bow...... To, I... It's all ...... Shape... Don't... Stab...... Arouse... I'm here..."Every word Yato said was accompanied by a mouthful of blood, but there was a kind of firmness in his words.

“……”

Wood was stunned when he heard this, and then his face instantly turned gloomy.

In that case, there is no need to ask Yato for permission.

As long as Yukine is dead, Yato can survive, and then he can stay out of the matter.

In this way, he can continue to live a peaceful life, and Yato will not die just because of it.

As long as he does what he thinks is right, what others will complain about, that's not for Wood to think about.

Anyway, it's not the first time he's done something against his friend's wishes, and Ikoma and Nameless are probably still complaining about themselves now.

But...

Wood frowned, looking down at Yato, who was clutching his wrist.

Seeing Wood's gaze, Yato's head shook in a slight arc, and there was a faint pleading in his eyes.

"You're ......"

Wood understands Yato's thoughts, but he doesn't understand them.

What Yato wants is an artifact that he has created and belongs only to himself.

(Xueyin is a very talented artifact, I want to forge this guy well)

In Yadou's eyes, he has always regarded Xueyin as his own child, just like some parents, hoping that the child can realize himself and that the child can be sharpened. He knew that even Xueyin himself didn't know about his past life, so he was even more reluctant to give up redeeming the other party because of this.

"Hoo ......"

Wood let out a sigh of relief, then shook Yato's hand around his wrist very roughly, turned and walked towards the house.

This scene made Ichizuri breathe a sigh of relief.

However, she didn't stay here for long, and when she heard Xiaofu say that Daikoku had found Yato's former artifact, and that there was still one artifact left that couldn't be found anyway, she got up and left.

Wood knew that she should have gone to find Bishamon's artifact Zhaoma, because there were still some past events between Yato and Zhaoma that Wood didn't understand, as if Yato was Zhaoma's benefactor.

It didn't take long for Daikoku to return with the true metaphor, that is, the artifact accompaniment of the previous Yato.

Wood didn't pay any attention to it, but sat in the room with a gloomy face, his eyes staring straight at Xueyin.

Really......

He still wanted to slaughter this little ghost to avoid a situation where he had to walk into the trap of Hiroto Fujisaki in the future.

However, after seeing Wood, Zhenyu bowed respectfully and said respectfully, "Mr. Wood is also there." ”

"Long time no see."

Wood replied, and then continued to stare at the snow outside with a somber expression.

The corners of Mayu's mouth moved slightly, and then he turned around and squatted down beside Yato, his face full of worry, no matter how out of tune Yato had been, how disgusting it was, but that favor didn't disappear if she took back her name.
