Chapter 41: Planning

The words fell, and both fell silent.

In the imperial capital this time, I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

Demons of this scale were distributed in such a large area as the entire imperial capital, even if they kept sweeping day and night, it was impossible to complete it in a short period of time.

And during this time, I don't know how many people will die because of it.

And that's not even counting the devastation caused by the Twelve Ghost Moons.

Thinking of this, Butterfly couldn't help but look at Qianjulang, her lilac eyes were full of worry: "Senjuro-kun, you must report the situation here to the headquarters, and ask the lord to send other pillars to come to support." I'm afraid we're ...... alone."

Qianjulang sighed: "You also heard it before you came, and the situation in the area guarded by your 'pillars' is not optimistic, I'm afraid I won't be able to draw manpower." On the imperial capital's side, we can only rely on the two of us......"

"So what's next? With the current speed of our sweep, it is far from keeping up with the progress of hundreds of evil spirits in the imperial capital to kill the villagers, and now some areas of the imperial capital have fallen into a state of panic, and the residents do not leave their homes at night, and if this continues, the situation is very bad. ”

"......" was silent for a while, and Chijuro turned in the direction of the center of Chiyoda Ward and narrowed his eyes: "Leave it to me, I have a way to force out the twelve ghost moons who took the lead this time." ”

……

Another sunset has fallen.

In the streets and alleys that were originally bustling, people hurried home.

In recent times, rumors of ghosts eating people have intensified.

At first, there were only a few passers-by who mysteriously disappeared while walking at night, and although it caused a small amount of turmoil, the residents were stabilized by the pacification of the Daimyo's Mansion.

However, the disappearance of passers-by has not stopped, and to this day, hundreds of people have not been heard from.

In front of such a large number of victims, even the Daimyo Mansion could no longer suppress people's panic.

According to relevant statistics, hundreds of residents have fled Kyoto in recent times.

If we do not solve the problem of the disappearance of passers-by, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale exodus in Kyoto, a famous big city, which will have a very bad impact.

Chiyoda-ku.

As one of the three districts in the center of the city, and also an area with a high incidence of missing passers-by, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Compared with yesterday, there are many heavily armed soldiers in the streets and alleys today.

Dressed in special hardened leather armor and helmets with only the eyes exposed, they walked with their pistols in their right hands as they prepared to attack the enemy.

As soldiers trained by the Daimyo's Mansion, even though they panicked in their hearts, they had to stand up in order to defend the city.

Compared to ordinary residents, these soldiers, who have been trained by the Daimyo Mansion since childhood, know that there is an evil existence in this world beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

They are like steel, they are like the wind, and they have all kinds of strange and unpredictable abilities, so even if the soldiers hold the guns in their hands, the crystallization of industrial civilization, they do not give them a sense of security in the slightest.

That's right, under the overwhelming barrage, it is indeed possible to hurt evil ghosts.

However, if you have attack power in the air, it will be useless to miss the enemy.

What's more, whether there is a chance to form a barrage attack is still a matter of two words.

The purpose of these soldiers tonight is not to destroy evil spirits.

It's lucky not to be destroyed by evil spirits.

Their role is to drive away.

Yes, to drive.

The guns in their hands had a strange aura attached to them, which made the demons who were close to them feel panicked and subconsciously fled to the safest place in their hearts.

As for where does this breath come from?

Naturally, it is the handiwork of Senjuro.

During the day today, Chijurou took the butterfly shinobi and visited the Daimyo's Mansion in Chiyoda Ward, and with the credentials of the "pillar" level swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Team, as well as a slight display of force, they successfully gained the approval of the Daimyo.

Of course, to be able to go so smoothly, the good reputation of the Ghost Slayer among the powerful is also indispensable.

After all, for hundreds of years, the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Team have killed evil spirits, and indirectly helped many daimyo stabilize the hearts of the people.

So, there's a plan for tonight.

At the time of joining the team, because he was puzzled about the reason why the demons did not dare to attack him, Chijuro did many experiments in the subsequent time.

In the end, it was determined that it was because he who had obtained the characteristics of [Ghost Hunter] would exude a strange aura without restraining it.

This aura is nothing special in the senses of ordinary people, and even in the senses of the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Team, at most it makes people feel that there is a murderous aura in this person.

But in the minds of the weak demons, what they felt was a terrifying oppressive aura from the upper layers of the food chain, as if in the next moment, they would devour themselves.

So, they will run away in fear.

The direction of escape is naturally the safest place in my heart.

In order to carry out the operation smoothly tonight, for the whole day of the day, Senjuro asked the daimyo to fetch the weapons that the soldiers were going to use, and stayed by these weapons and sat quietly for a day.

This practice, although it can only stain the weapon with a slight breath, and it does not last long, but it is enough to drive away evil spirits.

At this time, Chijurou and Butterfly Shinobu were standing at the top of the central floor of Chiyoda Ward, looking at the soldiers who began to act below, as well as the black shadows escaping from the shadows, with a cold look in their eyes.

On the whole, the operation to exorcise the demons was successful.

But nothing is perfect.

Some demons who are powerful enough to face weapons that are only contaminated with the breath of the [Ghost Hunter] show extraordinary aggression, rushing forward with bullets and directly tearing the soldiers apart.

This phenomenon occurs occasionally throughout Chiyoda Ward.

In this regard, whether it was Senjuro, or Butterfly Shinobi, or the daimyo who was under the heavy protection of the Daimyo's Mansion, there was no other reaction except that he felt unbearable in his heart.

Long before this project was undertaken, Senjuro had anticipated this and told Butterfly Shinobu and Daimyo about it.

Even if they knew, neither of them objected.

After all, if you want to solve the evil spirits gathered in this Tokyo incident, how can you not make sacrifices?

After observing condescendingly for a while, Senjuro and Butterfly Shinobu glanced at each other and ran in the general direction of the ghost's escape.

There is no doubt that the place that can make the ghosts think that it is a safe place must be the place where the twelve ghost moons are!

Soon, the two of them stopped in front of a six-story building.

At the same time, a large number of heavily armed soldiers also appeared from all directions, surrounding the building.

Under the moonlight, this ordinary six-story building that looked ordinary was like an abyss at this moment.

(hmm...... I don't ask for anything today. Please bless all readers, I can recommend it on Friday! If there is, the three watches of the same day, never break the promise! )
