Chapter 39: The Assembled Strings
The war between humans and demons has been going on for thousands of years.
During this time, countless people perished at the hands of evil spirits.
In the era before the spread of the breathing method, human beings were mostly miserable and powerless in the face of evil spirits.
Even today, when the breathing method has been spread, human beings have the means to fight evil spirits, but tragedy will not stop there.
It is as strong as a "column", and it is the same.
Rather, how many people who have not experienced heart-wrenching grief can endure the pain of breathing exercises and desperately become "pillars"?
Behind every "pillar" level swordsman, there is a story of his own.
Looking at the butterfly shinobi with lowered eyes beside him, Chijuro was just about to speak for comfort, but suddenly, a long-lost system prompt popped up in front of his eyes.
"Ding! Trigger side quest [Butterfly's Wish] ......"
"[Butterfly's Prayer]: When the deep cold comes, the butterfly who has lost its family can only choose to wear a smile mask and stick to it alone, just to one day, be able to break the ice!
Objective: Kill the Second String of the Strings.
Reward: +1 for the specified skill level. β
"Please note that this side quest is extremely difficult, so please choose carefully."
"Do you accept it?"
β¦β¦
The sudden hint interrupted the comfort that Senjuro was about to say.
It's been two years, and the system has finally triggered the mission again.
Looking at the "yes/no accept" option in front of him that shimmered crimson and served as a warning, he smiled and immediately chose "yes" without hesitation!
For him, even if he doesn't have a mission, it is natural to kill evil spirits.
Not to mention, this is still the wish of Butterfly Shinobi.
"Is the Heavens Dream System......"
Secretly muttering to himself, Chijuro raised his head, looked at Butterfly Shinobi, and raised a sincere smile on his face: "Sister Shinobi, don't worry, one day, there will be no more evil ghosts in this world!" β
"Then I'm looking forward to this day~"
After being depressed for a while, Butterfly Shinobi, who was gradually recovering, heard Chijuro's words and smiled "poof".
That smile made Senjuro feel for the first time that this was her heartfelt emotional outpouring.
β¦β¦
Imperial capital.
As one of Japan's most prosperous regions, it is home to hundreds of thousands of people.
The blend of economy, politics and culture has made this modern metropolis completely free from day and night.
No matter day or night, it is always brightly lit and prosperous.
Night, 9 o'clock.
In Chiyoda Ward, on the top floor of a high-rise building made of reinforced concrete, several dark shadows stand in the wind.
The midsummer night breeze blew the ends of the hair in front of their foreheads, revealing their scarlet eyes underneath.
Looking at the bustling crowd at the bottom of the building, the figure with the tallest body and "X" scars on both sides of his forehead and cheeks stretched out his hands, hugging the front, and his voice was low and intoxicating: "So much delicious blood food, how strong I will become if I eat them all......"
"Huh! Fool, you're dead before you eat them all. β
The bloodshot man on the side mocked: "Just a fool with no IQ like you, can you block the 'pillar' of the ghost killing team? β
Hearing this, the scar man suddenly became angry: "Do you want to die?" Then I will fulfill you! β
As he spoke, the ghost energy on his body floated, and he was going to use the blood ghost technique.
"Huh! Come on, I'll kill you first. β
Not to be outdone, the bloodshot man also surged with ghost energy on his body.
"Enough!"
At this time, a figure sitting on the edge of the platform stood up suddenly: "If you continue to make trouble like this, I won't accompany you." My family is still thinking about me. β
In the moonlight, the white-haired teenager's face was full of impatience.
"I'm here to hunt the 'pillars' together, not to listen to your noise!"
"Watch your tone, next five, tired."
The scar man said gloomily: "Don't think that relying on the favor of adults, you can be unscrupulous and unrespectful. Remember, you're only a bottom five. And I'm the third of the second string! β
"Sure enough, it's a fool."
Xia Xian Wu said coldly, and without waiting for the scar man to attack, he turned around and walked down step by step in a way perpendicular to the wall of the building: "I'll act on my own first." Being around such idiots only affects my mood. β
"Bastard! Look for death! β
In the sound of rage, the figure of the lower string five gradually disappeared.
"In that case......
The slender figure sitting in the corner of the wall raised his head, revealing a delicate face, and said in a faint voice: "Let's act separately first, and when the 'pillar' is attracted to it, we will gather together to besiege." β
There was silence for a moment, and the demons echoed it.
"Listen to you, next string one."
"No problem."
"It would be nice not to be with such an idiot!"
"Do you want to die!" The scarred man was furious.
Before it could make a move, the ghosts left the scene one after another after reaching a consensus of intentions, leaving it alone to roar angrily on the roof of the building.
Tonight's Tokyo is destined to be a bloody night.
β¦β¦
Ghost Slayer Headquarters.
Senjuro sat alone on the bed, looking at the transparent crystal bottle that shone with a ruby luster in his hand, and fell into a tangle.
This is the item [Pure Blood] awarded for slaying the Four Half-Tengu of the First String.
The effect is a significant improvement in physical fitness.
The reason why he was entangled was because he was about to leave for the imperial capital, and if he used it now, it would greatly affect the income from hunting evil spirits.
Two years ago, Chijuro already knew that the higher the physical attributes, the lower the income brought by the professional trait [Ghost Hunting].
Now that he has slain ordinary demons, the increase in physical fitness brought about by killing ordinary demons is already very weak, and it is only possible to achieve growth by relying on the accumulation of numbers.
If he drinks this bottle of [Pure Blood], his physical fitness will rise again, I am afraid that he will not have to hunt the Twelve Ghost Moons in order to improve his physical attributes.
Pure Blood is different.
According to the introduction of the system, as long as the physical attribute is below 30 points, it can achieve growth.
Shaking his head, Senjuro finally put away the crystal bottle.
At present, his strength is enough to deal with ordinary ghosts, so it is better to collect a wave of evil ghosts in the imperial capital first, and then use this thing.
After putting away the crystal bottle, Senjuro picked up the Hinakura knife and put it on his lap and examined it carefully.
Killing the fourth of the upper strings made the ghost-loving trait of the Nichiren Knife increase by 100 points at one time, exceeding the 100-point mark.
