Most of the boys in the academy went to see the execution. None of the girls from Dewa went. I heard that this stake punishment was a very cruel punishment. I'm afraid that after reading it, I will be sick to my stomach and I won't be able to eat.

Hitomi, who is directly related to this incident, originally said that she was going, but in the end she didn't go either.

I walked alone on the campus of Yamato College. The weather here is much hotter than in Dewa. Although the long sleeves on his body were already thin, he still felt a little hot, and even his exposed legs were stained with sweat.

But something was wrong. There seemed to be an extra light cast on me. I looked up and saw a dazzling golden light flickering in the air, and suddenly my eyes were full of flowers, and all around me was snow-white.

When my eyesight recovered, I was able to see my surroundings clearly. But he found himself standing on a white staircase. The volume of the building above the stairs is also very large, at least 100 zhang high. Below is a very beautiful large garden, at least tens of miles in circumference.

I looked down and saw that I was still wearing the silk top, waistcoat, shorts, and boots I had worn when I had just come out. Where have I been?

I looked up and saw a white-clad messenger not far ahead. "Excuse me, where is this?"

"This is Takamagahara." He replied, "The sun goddess wants to see you." Please follow me. ”

I instinctively followed him up the steps. Through the wide, bright corridors, through one huge door after another, you came to a palatial palace.

A beautiful woman dressed in a golden robe and glowing all over her body stood in front of the throne. The messenger bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty the Goddess, Nezha has been brought!" ”

I stood there dumbfounded, overwhelmed. What should I call her? Should I kneel?

She looked at me, "You're Nezha?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." I replied.

"Two months ago, you killed Yaki Orochi in the Battle of Sado, right?"

"I was killed by a joint battle with Princess Izumo Susa Airi and Princess Ao Sada, Tokai Aozhen."

"Airi Susawa?" She looked at me, "Tell me, what artifact did you summon at the time?" ”

Sure enough, as Dean Yuqing reminded, my summoning of King Yu's Divine Sword had already alarmed Gao Tianyuan.

"Your Majesty, Princess Airi told me that she summoned the Sword of the Heavenly Feather Feather Slash at that time."

"I know that." The goddess said, "The Heavenly Feather Feather Slash is in my palace. Susa summoned it for half an hour. However, during this time, a powerful sword spirit flew in from overseas and only stayed for a few breaths. What is that? ”

Would she not know what it was? So I replied, "Your Majesty, the situation was extremely critical. In desperation, Nezha silently recited a spell to enhance the power of the short sword in his hand. As for what exactly enhances my combat power, Nezha really doesn't know. ”

The goddess looked at me and slowly stretched out her smooth arms. "Show me the dagger you were holding."

I hand over the Jade Void Sword. The goddess took it and looked up and down. "The Sword of the Jade Void. Are you a disciple of Yuxu? She looked at me, "Who is your master?" ”

Can you say this? I replied, "My master's name is Taiyi." ”

"Taiyi?" The goddess has a deep gaze. She returned the dagger to me and said to the messenger, "Send her back!" ”

When I returned to the campus again, I found that there were many more people around. Airi, Shin Sakura, and Aoi came running one after another, "Nezha, where have you been?" ”

Even Kumi Hara, who was in a wheelchair, was pushed. It turned out that the moment I had just been causing such a big commotion. But should I say it?

"You're all scattered!" Hara Kumi said, "Nezha was recruited by Gao Tianyuan for questioning. ”

"Is it true?" Aoi asked.

I was noncommittal and went back to my accommodation.

At this time, Professor Yamazaki, the head of law enforcement at Yamato Academy, sent someone to inquire about Airi, saying that the lord of the country had made a judgment on Yui and would be executed in the academy's martial arts arena. Ask Airi if she would like to act as Yui's mediator.

Introduction? What is it?

I inquired and found out that Yui was going to commit suicide by seppuku in an ancient and cruel ritual that was supposed to have appeared in Yamatu, two thousand years later.

Love immediately refused. She said she was reluctant to cut off her sister's head herself. Heart Sakura also refused. Finally Hitomi agreed. Maybe she was waiting for this day.

Yui has been retrieved from prison by the academy and is being held in the Law Enforcement Hall. On the first night of her execution, Airi, Kokoko, and Aoi visited her as her former classmates and friends.

Hitomi and I didn't follow them. I don't have much connection with her in the first place, what can I say when I see her?

Yui has no remorse for what she did and doesn't want to apologize. But when she heard that Hitomi would be her intermediary, she cried loudly.

"Hitomi is powerless now. Didn't she come and cut my neck to torture me to death? ”

It wasn't until they promised her that they would ask me to be a substitute that she barely stopped crying.

Isn't this child's play? When they came to me for advice, I was helpless. I didn't want to go, but this time I had to. "You've all sold me. What else is there to ask for? But I haven't cut off anyone's head. ”

"You're not saying you've killed a lot of people...... Shinzakura said.

"Hitomi hasn't killed anyone at all. You'll always be more experienced than her! Airi continued.

But Hitomi was ready for the next day's work. From that night, he stopped eating in the water to avoid making a fool of himself in public. And with the help of Keiko, the body was carefully cleaned.

When I went to see her, she was dressed in white and sitting quietly on the couch.

"Hitomi, they have to let me act as a substitute!" I say.

"I know." She said, "Thank you for helping." There's a real chance I won't be able to complete the task. But don't deprive me of the opportunity to slash my enemies! ”

"Okay!" I nodded.

"There's one more thing I want to ask my sister for. Can my sister promise me? ”

"What is it?" I asked.

"I'll tell you then." She said.

I laughed, "And sell it to me." Well, if I can do it, I will do it. ”

The next day, I changed into a black outfit. The night before, I also used a katana to find a small tree and practiced for a long time. How can you cut off the trunk of a tree and still have a trace of bark attached?

Everything on the martial arts arena is ready to stop. It is ironic to think that such a murderous ritual should be carried out in a dignified school.

The number of people who came to see Yui's execution was not as large as yesterday's visit to see the stake execution (it is estimated that the guy was still suffering on the stake), but all the teachers and students from Dewa Academy were present.

Yui sat kneeling in a white robe, her bare feet already tied together with strings. A short knife was placed on the white cloth in front of her. Hitomi was also dressed in white, standing beside her with a knife.

Yui unfastens her white robe. It was then that I realized that she was almost naked inside, with only a white cloth wrapped around her waist. She picked up the short knife in front of her and plunged it into her left abdomen, then pulled it to the right. Blood immediately gushed out.

Yui closed her eyes and moaned incessantly with a pained expression. "Hitomi!" She called softly.

But Hitomi still stood with her knife raised, unmoved. Maybe this is her revenge on Yui.

Yui pulled out the knife with difficulty, stabbed it again into the lower abdomen, and slashed up to the heart. At this point, she closed her eyes tightly and leaned forward, her organs bursting out of the wound.

Hitomi's knife finally fell, but it failed to cut her cervical vertebrae, only exposing the white bones in the deep cut. Hitomi was followed by another slash, but it was still not cut.

Yui, who was already in a coma, was stimulated by these two knives, and unexpectedly came to her senses and opened her eyes. She turned her head with difficulty to look at Hitomi, her eyes full of resentment.

Another slash was made, but it was still not cut. The knife slashed Yui's cheek, from the back of her neck to the corner of her mouth. Three knives to the bone, but cut into three different places.

"Hitomi!" I shouted softly.

"Sister, come on!" Hitomi said, stepping back.

Yui seemed to see me and closed her eyes.

I slashed it with a single sword. With a "click", Yui's neck was broken off by the roots, leaving only a piece of flesh and skin hanging down to his chest. The corpse slowly fell forward.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a "poof" behind me and quickly turned around.

"Hitomi!"

Hitomi had already untied the white robe on her body, and like Yui, she only had a white cloth wrapped around her waist. The katana in her hand had been inserted into her abdomen and slashed horizontally, and blood was already covered in blood.

She threw herself to her knees, followed by another vertical stab. She looked up at me, "Sister, help me...... Cut off my head......"

My eyes were already blurred with tears, and when I looked up at the outside of the court, I saw Kumi Hara bowing slightly.

I dropped my knife and cut off Hitomi's head, then threw the knife to the ground and walked out of the field. Let her friends cry behind me.
