By the way, if it's using Lan Yang's weapon-

If you can get the blade to appear inside through the barrier, you might have a chance to break through the cover door.

Although it was a question whether the nearly two-meter-long broadsword could be successfully wielded in such a small room, there was no room for so much trouble now.

Xia Jing put his hand in his pocket to operate the mobile phone.

The recipient of the pre-entered SMS is set to Lanyang, and the content is only the word "assault".

If this trick doesn't work, Xia Jing is also ready to slip away. Although there is nothing more stupid in the world than fleeing with his tail between his legs after being invited by the enemy, if he is really helpless, fleeing is also a last resort.

"Oh, Xia Jing, what are you doing? …… Could it be that they are summoning someone on standby?"

Qiu Yin did not miss the subtle changes in Xia Jing's expression.

1

No, I'm afraid she'll see through just the action of putting her hand in her pocket.

- What a sharp-eyed fellow.

"So what? Do you want to slip away?"

"I want to think about it."

As soon as Xia Jing asked, Qiu Yin made a thinking expression that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was acting.

「…… Then I'll find a friend to help out."

「…… Hmm!"

Xia Jing took a step back and guarded all around.

Yasuno turned to the right and was in charge of guarding the rear. Ye Ya focused on confronting Qiu Yin in front of him.

Qiu Yin saw that the three of them immediately put on a posture and exaggerated their admiration.

"Wow, you guys have a good understanding. I'm so envious...... That friend and I can't work as well as you do. Individualism in action, right?"

Intuitively, you can understand. Qiu Yin's attitude is sounding east and west, or predicting.

Not only Xia Jing, but Ye Ya and An Ye also exuded a more nervous aura.

- It's coming.

I'm afraid it's a surprise attack.

All three of them were mentally prepared. They have also raised their vigilance.

- Even so.

Again, it happened too unexpectedly.

A dark shadow flew out of the crack in the paper door leading to the next room.

No one in the room reacted.

It's so fast—so fast that by the time she realizes something is wrong, the shadow is already standing beside Autumn Yin.

Not only Xia Jing, but even Ye Ya, who was plotted against him, was the same.

「…… Huh?"

Slap sand.

Late for the attack to take a beat.

Ye Ya's palms fell to the ground in response.

"Ah......!"

Blood gushes out of the section of the wound after a second.

The clean cut resembles the sleeve of a kimono.

Originally, the motor of the chainsaw, the working machine that Ye Ya was carrying, stopped abruptly. No, it's gone.

「…… Yah!"

Anno looked embarrassed, and finally reacted to what was happening in front of him.

Anno held down Ye Ya's wound and picked up the hand that had fallen to the ground.

Ye Ya bent over and squatted on the ground with a painful expression.

「…… Huh."

Qiu Yin smiled. Xia Jing looked reflexively in her direction.

A man who looked like a young girl stood beside her.

Judging from the height and physique, it should be a girl.

The girl is also dressed in Hanfu. The pattern on the top is an eerie pattern of bat rings attached to the skeleton. However, the most eye-catching part is the area above the neck. She wears a mask that covers her face, like a fox.

In his right hand he holds a knife. The weapon that cut off Yeya's arm should be that knife, yes.

As for the girl's left hand, it is the chainsaw whose motor has stopped working, which also means......

The treasure was taken away.

Xia Jing reflexively took action. Thoughts of worrying about Yaya's injuries and curiosity about the fox masked girl were driven out of his mind, and a golden branch was placed on the ground.

"Give it back!"

"No need to waste your efforts."

Autumn Yin took a step forward, and the barrier intercepted the attack.

Although Xia Jing concocted the same method to let the pillar also stretch out his hand, the result was also in vain. Xia Jing's ability can't touch the sword.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take it with you."

The girl didn't nod to Qiu Yin in front of her, and turned around with her sword and left.

"Hey, slow ......"

Before Xia Jing could speak excitedly, Ye Ya, who was huddled on the ground, had already threatened first.

"Stop! Damn ...... No, you ......."

While Ye Ya rubbed the wound that was finally closed with her palm-

「…… Is that you!?"

Surprise and unease gradually appeared on his expression.

- What's going on?

Did Ye Ya know the identity of that girl? Xia Jing suddenly had such a thought, but then-

「…… Hey, is that you......

The lines that were exactly the same as Ye Ya blurted out immediately.

The physique of a young girl.

Shoulder-length hair that the fox mask can't hide.

It feels familiar.

Plus the attack just now. Although it was a sudden surprise attack, he was able to cut off his hands and snatch the sword away at a speed that even Ye Ya was caught off guard, such a jaw-dropping superb skill, even among the deer clan with superior physical fitness, he was probably one of the best.

That's right. Remember didn't Anno say it before? That person's strength is second to none in the clan-

Ye Ya, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted as if crawling, "Don't go, stay first!" You are ......."

Before Ye Ya finished speaking, the fox mask girl only pretended to be deaf. He didn't even look at Ye Ya.

Silently, she took the treasure and sneaked into the house.

「…… Woo, let's catch up!"

This situation does not allow for further reflection. Xia Jing urged Ya and Yasuno to move forward and try to break through Qiu Yin's defense.

Not only is it necessary to find out the true identity of the girl, but retrieving the sword is also a matter of urgency. Patriarch's evidence aside, that weapon is a natural predator capable of turning an inconspicuous abrasion into a mortal wound. Let it fall into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences can be unimaginable.

But the anxious Xia Jing and the others were blocking Qiu Yin in front of them.

"Don't be in a hurry, Xia Jing-san. I'm still left to deal with my own business."

"Get out of the way!"

Xia Jing had no intention of listening to her ramblings. Despite trying to force her way through, Qiu Yin continued to say, "I'm not leaving, because I still haven't finished speaking."

Qiu Yin smiled again with an indiscerning smile.

"I'll tell Xia Jing and Ye Ya...... Something about me."

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let ......"

And then—

"Come here."

She turned back to the back of the room and commanded.

The man walked out without saying a word.

It's a young girl.

He has waist-length hair. No, it's better to say it's a mess of straw.

Wearing a Hanfu.

His feet staggered, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment.

Even so, she still held something wrapped in a white cloth with her precious hands.

"Hee-hee, hee-hee."

The girl smiled emptily.

Xia Jing he- no, it was Xia Jing who all three of them involuntarily stopped.

It's not because of the strange atmosphere that the girl exudes.

It's the face.

Even though he is a few years older, his hairstyle has changed. The eyes contaminated with the air of madness are also the same as the original ones. But the memory of just three days ago was still awakened.

She is the smiling girl in the photo album of Qiu Yin's family.

Other words.

"She's the real Autumn Yin?"

"Yes."

The impostor Qiu Yin nodded and replied.

At the same time, he hugged the girl who approached, the real Qiu Yin.

The girl with hazy eyes and out of focus did not put up any resistance, and was at her mercy.

"She used to be Autumn Yin. It's all strange that my parents are obsessed with the way of God, and my name and existence will all be taken away by me, what a pitiful, pitiful girl...... It's a beautiful woman who doesn't look inferior to me, right?"

That's right, the girl's appearance is indeed peugeot.

It's a pity that I lost my rational eyes and the foolish smile on my face, which is more than enough to erase my natural beauty.

「…… You shameless bastard."

Xia Jing couldn't help but scold.

"What good did you do to this girl......

"I made her crazy. In order to replace the existence of Autumn Yin, I had to do the same. There is no need for two autumn groans in this world. One person who has Qiu Yin's self and spirit, one is enough."

The autumn groan, whose face was not red and out of breath, made Xia Jing nauseous.

In order to drive people crazy, what did she do to that girl and what did she see, Xia Jing couldn't even imagine.

However, under the extreme pressure of having to recapture the sword as soon as possible, and at the same time suffering from the impact of the appearance of the mad girl who lost her heart, Xia Jing completely ignored one thing at this time.

That is, the phantom beast that was swept away before should have broken free from the shackles a long time ago.

But the electric spirit beast has not appeared for a long time, is it another intention?

Bang.

A flame erupted from behind Autumn Yin.

「…… Hmm!"

It turned out that it set fire to the house.

Xia Jing, who was flustered, secretly screamed that something was wrong.

It's a dilapidated abandoned house after all. The fire must have spread quickly.

"Alright, my ...... Qiu Yin's business is over."

Qiu Yin didn't pay any attention to the red lotus set off on the left and right, and turned to Ye Ya again.

"Next it's your turn. Change you as the heroine of the topic, Ye Ya."

"What do you say......

"It's just that you're not the one who tells the story. It's me."

She sneered at Ye Ya.

Autumn Groin - The fake Aki Murmur has left the real Aki Murmur.

Before he knew it, the impostor Qiu Yin was holding an axe in his hand.

"Eh, can't you remember this picture?"

"What are you talking about? You woman...... Wait, what do you want to do......

Ye Ya was forced by the other party's momentum and took a step back.

Qiu Yin opened his mouth and said, "The house that is caught in the sea of fire, and the ......."

In contrast to Ye Ya, who had a stiff expression-

"Huh. Aha, ha. Ahh

- Autumn Yin laughed.

Which autumn chant came from that laughter?

The axe is swung down at the same time.

"Stop, stop! Autumn ......!"

Ignoring Xia Jing's stop-

The Hanfu girl, the real Qiu Yin, fell to the ground.

Qiu Yin squatted on the spot.

Xia Jing was so frightened that he froze in place, unable to move.

I saw two people standing up from the ground on the other side of the fire.

One is a fake autumn chant.

The other is a woman who took away the body of the real Aki Yin.

Sharp eyes. Thin lips. It's a bit similar to Ye Ya. looks like Ye Ya when she grows up, but she replaces kindness and innocence with ruthlessness and cruelty.

The man ruffled his black hair upwards and spoke.

「…… Thank you for your hard work, Qiu Yin."

Qiu Yin knelt down respectfully in response.

"Yes, Mother."

Mother, in other words, this person is-

- Ah Le.

Qiu Yin, who got up, first glanced at Xia Jing, who was trembling all over, and then turned his gaze to Ye Ya.

"Hey, Ya, don't you remember?"

「…… Ah......h

"You won't forget, will you? And no wonder. Because you're cowardly by nature. Your heart is too fragile to be a patriarch...... I guess you can't bear it."

Qiu Yin's words were completely confusing, but Ye Ya remained silent.

No, she was speechless - it wasn't until then that Xia Jing found out.

Ye Ya didn't look right.

I thought it was the shock of the sword being taken away and the embarrassment of the fox masked girl's appearance, but the situation didn't seem to be so simple.

Her face turned pale. The limbs trembled.

It's like being afraid of flames.

"Hey, what's wrong with you!"

Xia Jing hurriedly went to put his arm around her shoulder, but the body leaning towards him seemed to be collapsed and weak.

Anno in the back—even Anno shouted in shock, "Liar. That's a lie, isn't it? That, that person...... Is it Ah Le?"

Anno once again put the word deception on his lips in disbelief.

"But she's ......"

It's like taking on Anno's questions.

Ye Ya then muttered, "...... Mother."

Ah Le smiled.

Her face is gentle, like a mother's.

She asked, "Do you remember? Yaya."

And so—

"Ah......h

In the ears of Xia Jing, a soft sigh like a mosquito chirping.

Ye Ya completely lost his strength.

The whole person collapsed in Xia Jing's arms, and closed his eyes-

Ya fell into a coma.

……

"Hey! Cheer yourself up!"

Xia Jing shouted at Ye Ya with clichéd lines and patted her cheek, but she just didn't respond. Anye was also like a master of the six gods, just staring blankly at Ah Le's face.

Ironically, Xiao Xia Jing, who stayed out of the matter, was the calmest person.

He tried to run his head as fast as he could, analyzing the situation.

The reason for Yasuno's embarrassment. Burst out but she's ...... This sentence.

Then Ye Adam called out his mother in front of Ah Le.

Jian Shuzhi, does this mean that person is not Ah Le, but Ye Ya's mother?

If that's really the case—

Who is behind the Deer Rebellion?

"Autumn Murmur."

Ah Le—and perhaps Ya's mother—sneered in the flames.

That face looks very similar to Ye Ya if it is cold and age.

"The body isn't quite obedient yet. I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

Qiu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be satisfied and nodded his head to show obedience.

「…… In short, the treasure is finally gathered. You've done a great job."

"Yes."

Leaving Xia Jing full of questions, Ah Le turned around and left.

Xia Jing could no longer say the word "stop". Now is not the time to care about that.

Because the phantom beast returned to Qiu Yin's side.

"Xia Jing, what are you going to do now?"

Qiu Yin stood up.

"It's my duty to kill you all here. But seriously, I hope you guys have a way to get through this. Otherwise, it's not fun, is it?"

As harsh as it sounds, this guy is right.

Xia Jing and the others are now forced into a desperate situation. Before trying to retrieve the sword, it may be best to prioritize how to get out of the house alive.

"How else would it be interesting to you? …… Shall we beat you to the ground on the spot? Or do you have other purposes?"

Xia Jingqiang played tricks and tried to calm his mood.

Hearing his listening, Qiu Yin began to laugh loudly.

"Wow, you're great."

「…… What the hell are you talking about, idiot."

It seems that she really looks like she has another purpose. For that purpose, the premise is that Xia Jing and the others must leave here alive - no, or is she expecting some good show after Xia Jing and the others leave alive?
