Chapter 149: Looking for the Traces of Ghosts
Xia Ruo soon arrived in the town, but the town he was in now seemed to be very peaceful, and the pedestrians who came and went had natural expressions on their faces, and they looked like they were indisputable, not like they had been disturbed by ghosts.
Now what Xia Ruo wants to do is to join the Ghost Slayer Team first, but it is a problem to find the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Team.
I want to find someone to ask for directions, but the location of the Ghost Slayer Headquarters is very secret, and I don't even know where Wu Miao is, and I can't ask for directions.
At this time, it seems that there is a stalemate.
But the way always comes up with it, Xia Ruo immediately came up with a solution, he looked left and right, and then walked to a stall selling things, the seller was an old man, and his stall seemed to be a toy for children.
"What does this little brother want to buy?"
The old man who set up the stall asked enthusiastically, in his opinion, the little brother in front of him did not look like a person who was short of money at all, he was dressed in a peculiar style, and there was a cat on his shoulder.
It's just that Xia Ruo heard his question, but he took out a grain of gold casually and handed it directly to the old man who was selling things.
"I just have something I want to ask, and I hope the old man can tell me the truth."
Gold is universal everywhere, and after the old man glanced at the gold, a burst of light erupted in his eyes, and he instantly carried the gold into his arms.
"Little brother, if you have any questions, just ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you."
"I just want to know if there's anything weird going on nearby," Xia Ruo asked, looking into the old man's eyes.
"Weird things?"
The old man didn't expect the little brother in front of him to give him gold, and he actually asked about this kind of thing, so he glanced at Xia Ruo thoughtfully.
"For example, if there are any rumors of someone mysteriously missing in the vicinity, or someone has died inexplicably," Xia Ruo gave a general range, "The surrounding towns, villages, and places where these rumors appear tell me." ”
"These rumors, I remember, seem to be there."
The old man touched his chin with his hand and thought for a while, "I seem to have heard the little brother from the stall before say that there seem to be many women and children missing in the town next door, and the people in their families are looking for them, but they can't find them anywhere, alas, even if there is no war, this world is not peaceful." ”
When the old man spoke, he seemed to mean something.
"Where's that town?" Xia Ruo hurriedly asked.
"Go north, there is a big road, just follow the road and you will reach it," the old man pointed in the direction, but reminded the little brother in front of him.
"Little brother, where someone goes missing, it is generally dangerous, I advise little brother not to go."
Older people know more things than the average person, and naturally they also know that there must be something bad going on in those places where people are missing and dying.
"Thank you, old man, I will pay attention to safety," Xia Ruo smiled at the old man, and then followed the direction given by the old man.
"Ugh."
The old man looked at Xia Ruo's departing back, shook his head, and then reached into his arms again and touched the gold he had just received.
……
Xia Ruo found the clue at this time, and his mood became much better, and if he had a clue, he had a direction.
Bizarre disappearances, deaths, where such rumors appear, in the world of the Demon Slayer Blade, there is a high probability that there are evil ghosts eating people, although most people don't know the news of the existence of ghosts, but as long as you look in this direction, you will definitely be able to find ghosts.
As long as you find a ghost and kill ghosts all the way, you will definitely be able to meet ghost hunters, and the ghost killing team is when there is a shortage of people, so you can join directly.
The plan is simple and there are no major problems.
Following the direction pointed by the old man, Xia Ruo found the big road, and then followed the road all the way, but by the time Xia Ruo arrived at the town that the old man said often had people missing, it was already dark.
When it gets dark, it's time for evil spirits to move.
Taking advantage of the night, Xia Ruo slowly walked into this town, but at this time, a cold wind blew.
"Meow."
Tom didn't seem to like the night vibe.
"What are you afraid of, ghosts are not as scary as monsters," Xia Ruo touched Tom's fur and comforted it.
There are no street lights in this town at night, and the surrounding houses are also dark, it seems that everyone is sleeping, Xia Ruo's eyesight is good, and he can see the surroundings clearly at night.
Will ghosts appear?
Natsuruo doesn't have the sense of smell of the protagonist Tanjiro, and in such a big town, it doesn't seem so simple to find a ghost.
Suddenly, a male voice appeared behind Xia Ruo.
"It's so late, why aren't you going home here?"
Hearing this voice, Xia Ruo turned around, and then saw a black-haired, ordinary-looking figure, wearing a black uniform of the Ghost Slayer Squad, and a Japanese wheel knife at his waist.
It seems that Xia Ruo's luck is good, he met the members of the ghost killing team just after arriving here, and it is estimated that the other party is also here for the ghosts of this town.
Xia Ruo looked at the face of the ghost killer team, and he found that this person was actually a plot character.
Murata, a member of the ghost killing team with a passerby's face, has a good personality, and is not bad, but his strength is not strong, but he also has advantages, that is, he is lucky, no matter what kind of crisis he encounters, he can be safe and sound, and he is unscathed.
"I heard that a lot of women and children are missing here, so I suspect that there are ghosts here, so I came here to have a look," Xia Ruo replied naturally.
"You know there are ghosts, and you dare to come and see them?" Murata looked at the boy in front of him with some curiosity, it was not unusual to know the existence of ghosts, but it was a strange configuration to carry a cat on his body.
I guess I know about the existence of ghosts.,Some hot-blooded teenagers.。
Murata seems to have his own way of identifying ghosts, so he doesn't treat Natsuruo as a ghost.
"Go back quickly, ghosts are very dangerous creatures, they eat people, and they are not something that ordinary people can deal with."
Whew-
Just when Murata was persuading Xia Ruo, suddenly a gust of wind and wind came, Murata immediately rushed forward and grabbed Xia Ruo's clothes, and then took him to hide in a corner, watching Murata's movements, Xia Ruo did not resist, just looked at him curiously.
I saw that Murata was hiding in a very skillful posture and movements.
"Be careful, the ghost has struck."
Murata looked around with a serious face and wary.
"Really?"
Xia Ruo also carefully sensed the surroundings, but found nothing.
And so it went for five minutes.
Murata slowly stood up and touched his head, "I may have felt wrong just now. ”
Looking at Murata's ordinary passerby face, Xia Ruo finally understood why Murata was so weak, but he could survive in the ghost killing team with such a high mortality rate.
"It's okay, it's better to be cautious," Xia Ruo said after thinking about it.
