06. Ghosts
When Emiya arrived in the New World, it was daytime.
The location is in a big mountain.
Although it is daytime, the surrounding trees are tall and lush, and the lush foliage shades the daytime sunlight, causing the forest of the mountain to look eerie and strange.
Moreover, Emiya also noticed that there was a cold air floating in the air, which was not very comfortable.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a good place.
In this kind of place, even if a ghost suddenly pops out of the woods, or a murderer, Emiya doesn't find it strange.
After all, this place looks like a horror movie scene no matter how you look at it.
Bite!
At this moment, a crisp sound came, it should be the sound of swords clashing, crisp and pleasant, in the silent mountain retreat, spread to the ears of Emiya.
Emiya was a little curious, and walked in the direction from which the voice came.
As Emiya approached, the sound of sword exchanges became frequent.
No, he arrived at the scene.
In a clearing in the forest, two men with swords are fighting to the death.
The man in the red robe was crying, brandishing a knife, slashing at the other party's neck, and kept shouting "If it weren't for you, Xiangling wouldn't have died at all, you will die for me" and the like.
The other man loudly defended that he didn't want to, but if Xiangling didn't die, he was the one who died.
After a battle between the two sides, the man in red gained the upper hand and cut off the opponent's knife-wielding arm.
In an instant, blood splattered.
The man who had lost his arm hugged his shoulder and let out a hysterical wail.
The man in red walked up to him expressionlessly.
"Spare me, please, let me go, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, I didn't mean to kill her." The man cried out in despair.
But the man in red cut off his head mercilessly, "You go and say this to Xiangling in person." ”
Then the man in red left.
He was left with a headless corpse.
But at this moment, something interesting happened, a ghost appeared next to the corpse, and judging by the face, it was the man who was killed.
The man turned into a ghost after his death.
When Wei Gong saw this scene, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise, the appearance of ghosts indicates that this world is not simple.
You know, in the world, ghosts don't appear so quickly, or even at all.
For example, when Emiya went to the Hunter World to take the Hunter Exam, many people died in the Hunter Exam, but Emiya didn't see a ghost.
Now, however, less than ten minutes after the man was killed, his ghost appeared.
And it's still daytime.
Although the sunlight in the forest is blocked by the abundance of foliage, this still does not change the fact that it is daytime.
This fully proves that this world is not simple.
So Wei Gong hid and eliminated his breath, wanting to watch the next development.
When the ghost appeared, he saw his corpse and seemed unable to accept this, and his face became extremely hideous, and he bent down to get his sword.
As a result, his fingers went through the hilt of the knife, and he had no way to pick up his weapon.
Time, the ghost's hideous face became dazed.
He tried several times, but he was never able to pick up the knife that had fallen on him.
Eventually, the ghost stood up, locked its gaze in a direction, and chased after it like the wind, the same direction that the man in red had left.
Emiya's heart fluttered, and he took his own steps and followed the ghost silently.
Because the ghost was free from the shackles of his body, he came and went like the wind, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with the man in red, and flew towards the man in red with a fierce face, stretching out his hands to kill the man in red.
But...... The curtain happened again.
The ghost's hands passed through the neck of the man in red, and even the entire body passed through the other's body.
But the man in red was not affected in the slightest.
The man in red didn't seem to see the ghost, and he was still striding forward.
The ghost was unwilling, and tried several times, whether it was pinching his neck, digging out his heart and lungs, or other actions, there was no way to hurt the man in red at all.
Gradually, the ghosts despaired.
He stopped what he was doing, staring blankly at the back of the man in red leaving, gradually disappearing from his vision.
After the man in red left, the ghost was still a little lost.
But after a while, he didn't know what he had figured out, and his body slowly flew towards the sky.
A few seconds later, with a soft light that ordinary people could not see, the ghost suddenly disappeared from Wei Gong's sight.
Wei Gong couldn't help but be stunned.
This is...... Enlightened?
When he saw these two men fighting with a sword, he realized that this was very likely to be Dongying.
Looking at its dress, it doesn't look like a modern one, but more similar to the ancient Dongying.
And Dongying's so-called Buddhahood, of course, is not to go to the Western Heaven Elysium, but to reincarnate, of course, it can also be called transcendence, and the ghost just now should be self-transcendence?
I don't know, but that's probably how it is.
So, he should have entered the Land of Yellow Springs now?
To be honest, Wei Gong didn't see how the other party entered the country of Yellow Springs at all.
But in any case, since ghosts can appear immediately after death, it proves that the mystery of this world is definitely not low, and in addition to ghosts, there may be demons and monsters and other things.
So, what kind of world did you enter?
In ancient times, there were ghosts, and maybe there were demons and monsters......
Time, Emiya's mind flashed through many similar worlds, the young onmyoji counted, the Inuyasha counted, hmm...... The grandson of the slippery head is also counted.
Although the beginning of the game is modern Tokyo, the scene actually involves ancient times.
It is the scene where the male protagonist and his grandfather Slippery Ghost and Feathered Fox fought in Kyoto, and finally defeated Feathered Fox and became the master of the ghost.
In addition, Nora God is also a one?
But Wei Gong thinks it's unlikely, at present, he has traveled to the two-dimensional world, basically either the plot has not started, or it has just unfolded, so he shouldn't have traveled to such a high point in time.
If you extrapolate from this, it doesn't seem that the grandson of the slippery head ghost is not very suitable.
Forget it, I still don't guess.
Let's go around and ask around, maybe you can really find relevant clues.
After making up his mind, Wei Gong walked out of the darkness and chased after the man in red in the direction he left, he planned to ask the man in red what kind of place this was.
No, Emiya caught up with the man in red again.
However, to Wei Gong's surprise, the man in red was already dead.
It wasn't another human who killed him, but a monster with a huge body wrapped around a lot of wrists.
When Emiya saw this monster, he immediately understood which world he was traversing, because this monster was too familiar.
Isn't this guy the Pillar Slayer Blade, oh no, it's the Demon Slayer Blade World, and he almost killed the hand ghost of Tanjiro Kamado.
In other words, I thought so much about it just now, but in fact, none of them were right.
This is neither the world of the young onmyoji, nor the world of Inuyasha, nor the world of the grandson of the slippery ghost.
It's the Demon Slayer Blade World.
If you think about it carefully, although the Demon Slayer Blade World is not as terrifying as the previous worlds, it is really not low.
First of all, there are ghosts in this world.
At this point, Tanjiro Kamado can be sure, after all, he is the apprentice of Scaletaki Zuo, that is, his senior brother and sister, Rabbit and Mako, who split the huge stone, laying a solid foundation for defeating the hand ghost in front of him.
Secondly, the ghosts of this world possess blood ghost magic.
There are many types of blood ghost arts, from elemental manipulation to dreaming, from splitting the body to body strengthening, and even involving the high-end skills of space transformation and space teleportation.
To say that the mystery of this world is low, Emiya doesn't believe it at all.
Let's take the ancestor of the ghosts of this world, Onimai Tsuji.
The reason why this guy became a ghost was not because he was cursed by God, nor because he offended some peerless master and turned him into a ghost, but simply because he took a side medicine, an incomplete medicine.
When Onimai Tsuji was still a human, due to congenital reasons, his health was not good, and he might not live to be twenty years old.
But that's when he met a doctor.
The doctor concocted a side medicine for Onimai Tsuji Mumi, but the side effects of the medicine made Mumiru think that his condition had worsened, so Kimai Tsuji Mumiao killed the doctor.
Then, he found that he was too quick to act, because after the death of the doctor, he found that his body had not only become extremely healthy, but also immortal, and there seemed to be no other shortcomings except that he could not bask in the sun and liked to eat human flesh.
At this time, Onimai Tsuji Muru changed from a human to the ancestor of ghosts.
After looking through the information left by the doctor, he found that the medicine that the doctor had prepared for him was actually incomplete, and it lacked a plant called cyan flower.
And the place where this cyan flower grows and how to cultivate it is known only to the doctor.
In other words, if the original Onimai Tsuji had calmed down and hadn't killed the doctor, maybe he would have been able to take a medicine that had no defects and was complete.
Doesn't that mean that he can become a new human being who is truly upright, immortal, and not afraid of the sun?
The fact that a by-drug can create an immortal human is a bit exaggerated no matter how you look at it, so Emiya's conclusion that this world does not seem to be simple.
Before Emiya's crossing, many people thought that Demon Slayer was a world with a low degree of mystery, but in Emiya's opinion, this was actually just a misunderstanding.
