Chapter 16 Marking the key points, this is to be examined......

Cities are constantly evolving, and they will never change after they are fixed in shape and scale when they are first built.

After all, most cities are developed on the basis of the old city, which on the one hand occupies a position that cannot be ignored in the social and economic life of the city, but on the other hand, the environmental quality is deteriorating, and it has reached the point where it must be replanned and renovated.

The roads are narrow, the road network structure is unreasonable, the traffic congestion is chaotic, the water, electricity, gas and other pipelines or lines are aging, and the environment of old residential areas is deteriorating......

And so on and so forth, all of which force a city to evolve and change all year round.

Therefore, if we look at the city itself as a "living organism", we can probably understand such a thing, and it is absolutely impossible to say that every part of a city is the same.

In this respect, even Tokyo is one of the world's leading cities. The city is also full of high-rise buildings, old and chaotic urban areas, and construction areas that are in the process of renovation.

As if it were now, Kagome, dressed in pajamas, had a very difficult time using her hands and feet, gritting her teeth and climbing onto a high-rise building that had not yet had time to be renovated.

The high-rise buildings are empty, just like the surrounding buildings, many of which are even just birdcage-like frames, and the scaffolding on the periphery indicates that this area is a group of buildings under construction. But because it's nighttime, it's empty.

The construction team in charge of the project did not seem to have any intention of disturbing the people at night, so at this time, in addition to the building materials, the surrounding construction site was only empty buildings under construction, and not even half of the people could be seen.

Panting rapidly, the black-haired girl in pajamas walked to the edge of the rooftop on the top floor in horror, looking at the twisted and terrifying figure below. Although the area is relatively empty, it has not yet had time to connect to the city's power grid and lighting facilities.

However, the city was already full of lights, so Sunset Kagome saw it very clearly-

It was an incomparably huge mass of flesh, wriggling and wandering back and forth on the construction site downstairs at the moment, looking like the bodies of a dozen people had been waxed and melted together, and arms and thighs grew on the miserable white flesh.

There are also expressionless human faces, and their facial features clearly appear on the surface of the wriggling pieces of flesh.

This is the thing that caused those horrific murders in recent days, and it just attacked her home, almost killing her and her brother Kusata. If she hadn't reacted temporarily, using the Jade of the Four Souls as bait and running away separately from her brother, the situation would have been unimaginable.

The most fortunate thing is that my mother and grandfather are not at home these days.

"It's disgusting...... What the hell is this......"

Sunset Kagome's face turned slightly pale, only to feel that the information she received by her vision had caused a rather huge impact on her brain, and that thing was not only hideous and terrifying, but also gave people a feeling of disgust from the bottom of her heart.

Compared with girls of the same age in this era, she can be regarded as well-informed, after all, she has to devote herself to the Warring States Period where demons and monsters are rampant all day long, and take the initiative to find the jade of the four souls that have fallen into the nest of monsters or the hands of evil humans.

Ordinary demons and monsters can't move her anymore, but the following thing is really ...... Or is it because it's not an ordinary horror and suspense painting style, but the main element that embodies disgust in a different way?!

"Okay, calm down...... At least it can't come up here, I just have to hold on until the grass is successful and call for help, and then Inuyasha will come......"

Alone in such a predicament, the defenseless Sunset Kagome could only comfort herself like this, wanting to calm her emotions as much as possible.

After taking a few deep breaths, she looked at a small glass bottle clutched tightly in her right hand, and inside were several pieces of crystal clear pink jade.

The fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls, the monster below wants to get the fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls.

“…… Damn it! ”

The black-haired girl in pajamas bit her lower lip hard, looking very unwilling. She should have known about this earlier, and she would have been able to avoid it.

First of all, there are urban weird stories that have come out these days, and there are strange homicide stories, obviously a certain teacher in her class is also a first-hand experience, and she personally said that she saw a woman who looked like a Noh mask, stretched her neck, and ate several people.

It's just that she didn't care at all at the time, all she was thinking about was how to pass the math make-up exam after that, and how to deal with the date invitation sent by Hojo, a classmate in class B......

She was even seriously considering delaying it for a few more days, and she was worried that Inuyasha would disrupt her plans if she came.

So, it's really undeserved! Even if she didn't notice these aspects, it was still understandable, but she really shouldn't have noticed that there were other Four Soul Jade fragments nearby!

- Inside that Noh mask, there is definitely a fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls hidden!

Just like in the Warring States Period, she was able to use her innate spiritual sense to find the Four Soul Jade Fragments scattered far away, so there was no reason why the Four Soul Jade Fragments that were nearby and nearby would not be noticed.

It can only be said that she was too careless, she didn't pay attention to anything from the beginning, and always subconsciously felt that everything would be fine when she returned to the modern world.

"There are no yokai in modern times."

- This was probably what she subconsciously thought was true, but now the fact was that a living youkai appeared in front of her eyes.

"This youkai is very sluggish, and the main body is the Noh mask......

Carefully observing the wriggling mass of flesh in the open space downstairs, Sunset Kagome's attention focused on a surface on the surface of the piece of meat.

"The body is supposed to be a combination of the bodies of the people it eats, so it can't move as it wants, so it shouldn't be able to climb up here...... At least it's safe for now. ”

She probably didn't know what a standing flag was, just thought about it, and then saw that Noh face moved an angle, and then the stiff expression of the disgusting woman seemed to be looking straight at her.

“……!!”

The next moment, the girl found that the face was rapidly expanding in her field of vision, as if it was about to come to her eyes all of a sudden, and she was so frightened that she staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

There is a long neck attached to the back of the face, and it looks extremely weird, like a venomous snake that quickly attacks, it suddenly stretches its neck and bites towards the top floor of this building!

However, Sunset Kagome dodged it by mistake, and it bit into the air, but it bit the steel pipe of the scaffold.

Then, with the help of such a point of focus, it actually used its long neck to lift its huge body under it all at once!

Bang! Like a spring, the huge twisted body slammed down to the top roof of the floor, splashing lime powder on the ground, and then appeared in front of Sunset Kagome's eyes with her pupils shrinking instantly.

The latter simply had no way of reacting in such a short time, not even enough time to get up from the ground.

Having said that, if it weren't for the fact that she had been exercising during the Warring States Period during this time, and her physical fitness and physical endurance had improved significantly, she would probably not have been able to support running here from home at all.

However, stamina can be significantly improved during this time, and reflexes are difficult to strengthen.

Therefore, she could only scream as she watched as the gigantic mass of flesh stretched out multiple arms and pounced viciously at her.

"Soul Scattering Iron Claw!!"

With a familiar roar, the huge piece of flesh was torn apart in front of her eyes, and the air was split into two parts, left and right, and at the same time, a large piece of familiar red occupied most of the girl's field of vision.

Inuyasha finally arrives at this critical moment, and he has a little boy behind him.

"Sister!"

"Kusata! Inuyasha! ”

"What, you're still alive and well!"

The three of them naturally saw each other and it was a messy scene, perhaps because the nerves were too thick, they even ignored the problem of the death mask not dying at the same time, and they made a fuss.

The sister and brother were elated to see each other, and they rejoiced in the daily quarrels of the rivals, and they didn't seem to think that the most important thing now was actually like mending the knife.

"Damn stinky boy, you actually ...... my body" A voice full of resentment and hatred sounded, and the bloated monster wriggled the disgusting pieces of flesh, piece by piece, and gathered them back together.

"Whoa! It's disgusting, what kind of monster are you? Inuyasha, who was arguing with Sunset Kagome about who was wrong, turned around, sneered, and rolled up his sleeves.

"Inuyasha, its body should be the Noh mask, which contains a fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls." Behind him, Sunset Kagome whispered.

"Oh?" The dog's ears on the top of the half-demon boy's head suddenly moved, and then his eyes almost lit up.

But at this time, a strong wind blew from the top of the tall building, whistling and making everyone's hair and clothes bulge. Sunset Kagome and her younger brother Kusa only subconsciously squinted their eyes, but Inuyasha's expression changed abruptly.

The most violent reaction was the Death Mask, which was squirming and regrouping and crawling up, trembling violently as soon as it felt the wind.

The next moment, with a scream, Inuyasha and the others watched as the Noh face went crazy, directly breaking free from the disgusting lump of flesh, and suddenly flew into the air, flying towards the night sky outside the tall building, as if they were running for their lives.

And the disgusting lump of flesh that was separated from Noh Mian suddenly lost all its mobility, and quickly collapsed into motionless, the miserable white flesh had no vitality, and still exuded a stench of decay.

"Abominable ......"

Inuyasha woke up from a dream and rushed to the edge of the rooftop in a few steps, only to find that it was too late.

The wind in the tall building was howling, and there was no tendency to stop, and the face rushed into the night sky like crazy, and quickly disappeared without a trace, after all, it was really difficult to see such a large mask.

"Huh? Is this, was it escaped? Sunset Kagome asked with a worried frown, covering her hair that had been flying in the wind.

"It can't escape...... The thing that rolls up this wind is much fiercer than that mask, and if it is targeted by that thing, that mask will never escape. The half-demon boy shook his head cautiously, "Kagome, the world on your side is not so peaceful, is it?" ”

"Huh? You mean, this wind ...... Questions? The girl froze for a moment.

"That's exactly what happened." Inuyasha blinked, "But it's not a big problem, I've memorized the smell of the wind." ”

Sunset Kagome opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end, she just looked at the disgusting lump of meat on the ground next to her with a strange face, and suddenly a thought popped into her heart-

In this way, there may also be fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls in modern times.

Inuyasha says he remembered the smell of the wind, which means he can trace the past, right? It's just that the two of them spent most of their time in the Warring States Period, and it seems useless for him to remember the taste.
