Chapter 151: Heading to the Ghost Slayer Headquarters
After Xia Ruo left, Murata was left alone.
In the dark night, the surrounding environment was silent, and he hid alone in the corner, and the feeling as if there would be ghosts around him all the time made Murata swallow.
Ghost, it seems to come back at any time.
Of course, Xia Ruo didn't know the situation outside, if he had sneaked in alone, it just so happened that the room where Xia Ruo entered through the window was the girl's room.
At this time, the girl was sleeping on the floor in the middle, and it seemed that because of her good family, the girl had her own single room.
Asleep?
Xia Ruo saw that the girl seemed to be sleeping, relaxed a little, and prepared to find a place to hide.
Syllable.
Unfortunately, in the process of moving, Xia Ruo's foot accidentally touched a small object next to him, and then made a small noise.
"Who?"
The girl didn't fall asleep, and in the quiet room, she easily caught this little voice, and saw that she was getting up and preparing to turn on the light.
After Xia Ruo found out about this situation, he grabbed Tom on his shoulder and threw it over in an instant, his movements were very decisive and smooth, as if he had already rehearsed it in his mind.
"Meow?"
Tom hadn't reacted when he was in the air, and his face was confused.
"Hey, it's a cat."
After hearing the meow of the cat, the girl was visibly relieved.
Because the room was dark, the girl saw a black shadow jump to her side, but when she heard a meow, she also knew that the black shadow was a cat.
In this extremely short period of time, Xia Ruo hid to the side of a wardrobe, just enough to cover his figure.
Although the light is very dim, Xia Ruo's eyes are very good, and she can see the girl's appearance clearly, the girl has long hair, she looks very young, and her appearance is also a little cute, although she is sixteen years old, but she looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old.
"How did you get in, cat, eh, the windows aren't closed?"
The girl picked up Tom next to her, and then touched Tom's hair, and then the girl noticed that the window was ajar.
"I didn't close the window, it's really careless, obviously my father said, a lot of girls have disappeared recently, let me be careful," the girl quickly got up and closed the open window, but in the process, it was with the help of the moonlight outside the window, and she didn't turn on the light.
"Meow, why did you come in, were you abandoned?" The little girl hugged Tom and gently stroked Tom's hair.
"Meow."
When Tom heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, he felt that he had nothing to say, and that he had indeed been thrown away by his master to prevent the disaster.
Fortunately, the light was low, and the girl did not see the white of Tom's spiritual eyes.
"It really scared me just now, a lot of girls have disappeared recently, I just heard the voice, I thought it was a bad person, but I didn't expect it to be just you little guy," the girl seemed to like cats very much, and kept talking to Tom.
"You must be hungry, now that Mom and Dad are sleeping, I don't have anything to eat here, I'll prepare some food for you tomorrow, if you don't have a place to go, stay here first, I'll go and talk to Mom and Dad."
At this point, a look of worry appeared on the girl's face.
"However, the missing girls and children have not been found, and I am really worried about their safety, so I hope those children can go home safely."
When the girl finished speaking, she seemed to be a little sleepy, so she lay down and slept again, but this time the girl put Tom beside her.
I guess I really slept this time.
Xia Ruo quietly leaned against the wardrobe and waited, Tom was next to the girl, and it was estimated that she would not have an accident in the first place.
After that, it depends on whether the ghost appears in the room or outside.
In this way, after waiting for about ten minutes, Xia Ruo suddenly heard a strange sound, very small, but it still existed.
Rustle Rustle –
"Here we are."
Xia Ruo increased his attention, and he was not sure of the location of the ghost at this time, but if he was not mistaken, that ghost was estimated to have blood ghost magic and could bypass Murata's perception outside.
"But where? Underground? ”
From that little bit of sound, Xia Ruo couldn't tell the location of the ghost, so he could only continue to wait, waiting for the moment when he made a move.
At this time, Xia Ruo noticed that the wall opposite him was suddenly separated, as if the wall had suddenly softened, and it was directly separated.
At this moment, a demon with a horn on its head poked its head out of the divided wall, and after half of the demon's body entered the room, he sniffed lightly, and then saw the girl lying in the middle of the room.
Hmmm-
A bright red tongue shot out of his mouth, instantly growing to four or five meters, ready to leave with the girl rolled.
"Don't think!"
Xia Ruo's body appeared in front of the girl in the next moment, and then cut off the tongue that had just become longer with a sword, not only that, but Xia Ruo also grabbed the tongue that wanted to shrink back after being cut off with his other free hand.
"You can't run away."
"Ahh Ghost hunters! ”
Seeing Xia Ruo appear, he also grabbed his tongue, and the one-horned ghost knocked on the wall with some anger, because he could cut off his tongue with a sword, so the ghost subconsciously regarded Xia Ruo as a ghost hunter.
Bang bang –
The loud noise affected the girl's sleep, and the girl was awakened by the sound just now.
"What's wrong?"
The girl looked up, and by the moonlight, she saw the back of a man with a sword, and not far away, a long-tongued monster in the wall.
In this case, as if she was still dreaming, the girl was frightened and frozen.
"Come out for me."
Xia Ruo saw that the ghost wanted to shrink into the wall, and couldn't help but grab his tongue and pull it hard, and suddenly, a powerful force pulled the ghost out of the wall.
"Damn ghost hunters, you actually disturb me eating, this is twelve o'clock in the night, the best time to eat!"
The unicorn who was caught falling from the wall bit hard, and directly bit off his tongue, and at the same time, the nails on his hands instantly became longer, and he instantly got close to Xia Ruo's body, and grabbed Xia Ruo's neck with his claws.
It's just that the wooden knife in Xia Ruo's hand turned and directly cut off his arm.
"How is it possible, how can a wooden knife cut off my body," the unicorn looked at the human in front of him, and suddenly sensed that something was wrong, he wanted to escape, but the speed at which his blood ghost technique was released was very slow, and when the floor under his feet softened, Xia Ruo had already appeared in front of him.
"When you were eating people, did you ever think about this day?"
Looking at the ghost in front of him, after Xia Ruo said this, he directly took out two swords, one sword slashed the ghost's body, and the other sword cut off the ghost's head.
This is a ghost who has just comprehended the blood ghost technique, and it seems that he is not Xia Ruo's opponent at all.
"Stupid human, you don't have a Nihon Wheel Knife in your hand, even if you cut off my head, you won't be able to kill me, hahaha......"
The unicorn head was still laughing as it flew in the air, but soon he noticed that his body was not recovering, but seemed to slowly begin to dissipate and turn into ashes.
"How is it possible, how is it possible, my body, why, there is something wrong with that wooden knife of yours!"
The unicorn screamed in disbelief and slowly dissipated into the air.
For this situation, Xia Ruo is not surprised, the restraint ability of the Japanese wheel knife against ghosts is mainly because of its attribute of sunlight, and the power of his own reality is also a very lethal thing to ghosts, and the restraint effect is not weaker than that of sunlight, and it is normal to use this power to cut a fatal neck, and it is normal that it cannot be recovered.
The ghost was cleaned up.
There were voices outside the door, there were the girl's parents, and there were also Mr. Murata's, and it seemed that Murata seemed to help Xia Ruo stop the girl's parents and not let outsiders interfere with him.
"It's okay already," Xia Ruo turned around, looked at the little girl behind her, and said to her gently.
The girl looked very timid, she was in a sluggish state just now, and at this time she seemed to have come back to her senses, and the girl at this time looked at Xia Ruo, "Big brother, is that one a ghost just now?" ”
"Have you heard rumors of ghosts?" Xia Ruo couldn't help but ask, most of the ghosts are just rumors, and the official seems to be deliberately covering up the news.
"I've heard my grandfather tell us before, when I was a child, my grandfather often told us stories, and there were many stories about ghosts, warning us not to go out at night, otherwise we would be eaten by ghosts."
When the girl said this, she suddenly paused, and her eyes became a little gloomy, "Are those missing girls and children all eaten by ghosts?" ”
Looking at the girl's expression, Xia Ruo guessed that she should have a friend who was also missing, but there was nothing she could do at this time, so she could only nod.
Seeing Xia Ruo's response, although the girl didn't make a sound, her tears couldn't help but drip down.
"Are there any important friends missing?" Xia Ruo couldn't help but squat beside the girl and asked gently.
"Yes, it's a very important friend, we grew up together, we disappeared a few days ago, I was thinking about it before...... Still thinking she could come back......"
The girl sobbed as she spoke.
Xia Ruo couldn't help but touch the girl's head and tried to comfort her.
"It's okay, the demon has been slain, I've avenged her, and didn't you survive? I guess your friends must be very happy now. ”
This world is like this, many times, ordinary people can only watch their relatives being eaten by ghosts and are powerless, and those who survive will become ghost hunters and embark on the road of fighting ghosts.
Comforted by Xia Ruo, although the girl was still very low, her expression seemed to be slightly better, and she only raised her head at this time and glanced at Xia Ruo seriously.
"Big brother, are you a ghost hunter?"
"Ghost hunter, sort of," after all, now Xia Ruo has only killed a ghost, and there is no official establishment of the ghost killing team.
"Then, can I become a ghost hunter in the future and go to kill ghosts with my big brother?" The girl looked at Xia Ruo with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, this little girl was quite enthusiastic, looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Xia Ruo shook her head.
"No, your parents will be worried, all you can do is to stay at home and don't let your parents worry."
"That's right," the girl looked lost.
"It's okay, someone will fight ghosts, it is estimated that it won't be long before the ghosts in the future can only exist in the story," Xia Ruo looked very confident, Ghost Dance Tsuji was already dead in the original work, and his appearance would only speed up the process.
After the ghost king dies, all the ghosts will disappear.
……
In an unknown mansion, the ghost king Wumiao, who was reading a book, couldn't help but close his eyes.
Wu Miao is the origin of all ghosts, so you can also see the memories of all ghosts, this time, through the ghost who died just now, Wu Miao also saw something about Xia Ruo.
A never-before-seen face hacked a ghost to death with a wooden knife.
"Hacking a ghost to death with a wooden knife, I've never heard of this kind of thing, this is no longer something that can be done by pure strength, is there anything special about that wooden knife?"
Of course, this matter is just a little curious thing for Wu Miao, and it won't be long before he forgets about it, so that he won't put too much energy into a small character with a wooden knife.
What he's been doing now is to create ghosts everywhere, and then let those ghosts find the cyan flower and the location of the Ghost Slayer headquarters.
……
The ghost's task was completed, and after Murata stopped the girl's parents, he wanted to rush in to help Xia Ruo, but he didn't expect that Xia Ruo had already solved the ghost.
For Xia Ruo to kill ghosts without using the Hinawa Knife, Murata almost didn't lose his jaw after learning about it, after all, the thing that the ghost is afraid of, except for the sun, is only the Nichiren Knife.
However, Xia Ruo only explained that his wooden knife was a bit special, it was a treasure obtained by chance, and he specialized in restraining ghosts, and for this statement given by Xia Ruo, the simple-minded Murata still believed it.
But even so, Murata will not underestimate Xia Ruo, because he can defeat the ghost without the breathing method, and those who can do it will become pillars.
The ghost is gone, so there is no need for the two to stay in this town, and Xia Ruo and Murata left there together.
"Murata-senpai, we defeated the ghost, do we need to hand in the mission?" Xia Ruo was polite and didn't forget to call her seniors.
"There is no need to hand in tasks, everything is recorded by the crow, it is our assistant, it can help us submit tasks, and can also publish tasks."
Murata pointed to the crow beside him, this crow is called a crow, it is the standard configuration of the members of the ghost killing team, and it is always by the side of the team members, this crow is generally used to transmit information and release tasks.
"And what are we next?"
"Next, of course, the next step is to go back to headquarters."
Murata seemed to be in a good mood, and explained to Xia Ruo, "Generally speaking, when a team member like us is not seriously injured or has nothing important, we are not qualified to return to the headquarters, even if there is special information to report, it can also be transmitted through the crow, mainly because we are afraid of revealing the location of the headquarters." ”
"However, there are special circumstances," Murata paused.
"Special circumstances?" Xia Ruo asked at the right time.
"Met a talented talent, this is a special situation, the ghost killing team is very short of talents, and attaches great importance to talents, even the lord and the princess sometimes go to search for talents in person, and now Lord Xiazhu is found by the lord and lady, and Lord Yanzhu is rescued by the lord and the princess in prison.
Our ordinary team members also have the task of searching for talents, and finding potential talents to recommend to the lord will get a higher degree of contribution than killing ghosts. ”
When Murata said this, he glanced at Xia Ruo.
"You don't even know how to breathe, you can kill ghosts alone, this is a talent with the potential to become a pillar, and those who can do this have now become pillars, and the pillar is the strongest level of the ghost killing team, and the ghost killing team has a total of nine pillars, all of whom are very terrifying strong people, and I plan to recommend you directly to the lord, you may get very good resources, and you may be able to become a pillar in the future."
Cultivating one pillar is much more useful than killing fifty ghosts. ”
Xia Ruo didn't expect this to be the case, so he thanked, "Then thank you Murata seniors first." ”
"Don't, don't call me senior, you are different from me, you are a genius, the future is limitless, just call me Mr. Murata in the future," Murata hurriedly stopped, and even now he was a little embarrassed to hear Xia Ruo call him senior.
"I just hope you become a pillar, and don't forget that I recommended you."
Xia Ruo didn't care about the title, but Murata said this, and he didn't say anything, "Okay, Mr. Murata, I will definitely not forget, I can invite you to dinner when the time comes, my cooking is delicious." ”
"Really?"
"Really."
After that, Xia Ruo and Murata embarked on the road to the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Team.
