Reed name, reed plain.

The screams from the side of the tower and the sound of Jin Ge colliding have completely subsided.

Only the flames of the inner house are still wildly devouring everything in Reina.

"In the end, I still couldn't achieve anything."

"However, Long Yin will definitely be able to save this country...... In this way, the long night of the reed name will finally usher in the dawn! ”

Ei Na Kuichiro said something that he didn't even believe, holding the handle of the Black Immortal Slash with both hands, pressing the cold blade against his neck, and staring blankly ahead with a pair of exhausted eyes.

A second before the blade sliced into the side of his neck, Genichiro's eyes flashed through his not-so-long life, in which he saw his young self.

……

Nine-year-old Genichiro became an orphan in the market because his parents, brothers and friends were killed by the samurai of the inner house.

That day, he stumbled upon his enemy in town and was having a celebration with his friends.

When the enemy got drunk, Koichiro sneaked into his room at the inn at night and killed him with his katana.

He slashed more than a dozen times in a row until the other party's flesh and blood blurred.

But he moved so much that the drunks were awakened.

In the end, Genichiro was discovered by his companion who slept in the same room and was arrested.

"It's despicable to sneak up on a sleeping samurai."

"If you want to kill, at least you have to look the other person in the eye!"

"Raise a scum like you, your parents deserve to be killed!"

Just as the angry samurai led him into the courtyard and wanted to kill him, the door to the next room suddenly opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man with a clear face and a powerful momentum.

"In that case, the old man will definitely look you in the eye."

Ichiro didn't see anything, only heard the sound of four long knives cutting through the air, and all four samurai fell.

Immediately after that, the sound of the knife being sheathed sounded in the ears of Ichiro Chin.

He didn't have the slightest fear, just a pair of curious eyes staring at the man who helped him up.

"The old man's name is single-minded." Yishin introduced himself, and then accurately said what Ichiro had in his heart, "I saw you hiding nearby during the day, so I lived here. That's when I knew that you had made up your mind that you weren't going to live. If you're not mistaken, you're here for revenge. ”

Ichiro lowered his eyes and was silent.

First, he didn't have a good impression of samurai, and now in this troubled world, everyone with a knife is a murderer just like him. The person in front of him, who can quickly deal with the four samurai, must also be the best among the samurai.

Second, although the man saved him, he didn't need him to help him at all.

"Are you still not going to live any longer?"

Ichishin once again punctured Genichiro's thoughts, making him a little irritable.

Ichiro said coldly: "The revenge has been avenged, and there is nothing for me to do anymore." ”

Maybe it's a good idea to follow your parents and brother.

But if you kill someone, I'm afraid you can only go to hell.

"You're a reed celebrity, aren't you?"

"Hmm."

"How old are you?"

"I'm almost ten years old."

Reeda admired with some appreciation, "Then you are very tall." ”

Remembering that his family and friends used to praise him like this, he immediately responded angrily: "But no matter how tall a child is, what's the use?" When my family needed me, I had to hide and steal my life. ”

"The human body is a godsend, and the encounters of life naturally have a purpose, and when the two are combined, we can see what he should do. Of course, wait for him to grow up to a suitable time. ”

"There are hundreds and one thousand people with the same fate as you, and they can't avenge their families, so they can only hide everywhere, because they don't have your stature, and they don't have your courage and determination. And you didn't kill an ordinary bandit, but a high-ranking samurai of the Inner House, who had also beheaded many people, but died at the hands of a child. It may not be auspicious to say that killing people is a talent, but if it is a talent to protect one's family, it is logical. And you, you have this rare talent. ”

Genichiro glanced at the katana on Isshin's waist: "Even if you kill people by despicable methods?" ”

"If you are entangled in whether the means of killing are justified, then in the time you hesitate, more people who need your protection will die. I carry a sword, but I am not a samurai. You can tell from my name, I used to be a monk, and my heart is my Dharma name. It wasn't until I heard that my homeland had fallen that I picked up a knife and finally learned my true talent. But by then, I was thirty years old. So I practiced sword and killed the enemy, just to win, and never cared about the rules of the samurai. ”

Ashina squatted down and was at eye level with Ichiro String, "Besides, killing someone is killing someone, this is obviously a kind of bad karma that even gods and Buddhas hate, where is the difference between justice and despicability?" ”

Ichiro was a little moved, but then lowered his head again, "But I don't have a family anymore, and I don't have anyone to protect anymore." ”

"As long as you treat the whole reed name as home, all the reed celebrities are our family."

Edina said word by word, "You are also my family, so I will protect you." Someday, I'll need your protection too, well, your name is ......"

"Taro, my name is Taro."

Koichiro looked up sharply, his eyes already filled with tears.

"Since you've killed someone, it's time to have an adult's name."

Wei Ming made a thoughtful look, and thought for a while before asking, "What did you do at home before?" ”

"Father is a hunter." Ichiro wiped away his tears, "It's the best hunter in Ashina." ”

"Since you are the eldest son in the family (Taro), you must use a bow and arrow."

Seeing Genichiro nodding, Ashina smiled and said, "Since you know how to use a bow, let's call you Genichiro." I can see that you don't like knives, so from now on, you'll be the number one shooter in Reina. If you don't have a surname, then like me, take this country as your surname. ”

"Yes, Grandpa!" Since he has the same surname as Reed, and said that he is a family member, Xianichiro beat the snake and called his grandfather.

"Hahaha!" Not only was Ashin not angry, but laughed happily, "Since you call me grandpa, then Ichiro, we have to say that I will take it in the future, but you will protect it!" ”

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

……

[I'm sorry, grandpa. 】

Ichiro wanted to cry, but he couldn't do that because he had taken it.

[I want you to take it, and now I want you to protect ......]

[If it were you at that time, I would have been able to do something I couldn't do. 】

[I'm sorry, my grandson still failed to fulfill his original promise after all......]

[If I can, your kindness, I'll repay it in the next life.] 】

[However, people like me who can't be considered human anymore will definitely go to hell——]

"We may never see each other again, Grandpa. 】

……

After reminiscing, Kuichiro's ninja appeared in front of his eyes again. The other party's eyes were as tired and resolute as his, and it seemed that he was already planning to give up something important.

Wolves, so similar to him, are enemies he simply cannot defeat.

He's the one with the talent to kill.

The blade sinks into the flesh, and the blood drifts like cherry blossoms.

"Farewell, Ashina."

However, darkness only passed for a moment.

The next moment, Koichiro found a huge block in front of him, and in the center of the block was the familiar reed field.

And on the reed plain, it was Jiulang's wild dog standing there, and Ashina was coming out of his own body!

Just as Ichiro didn't know what was happening, he heard a voice: "Ichiro is dead again." Let me tell you, a miscellaneous soldier like Ichiro, as long as he finishes fighting for a week, he will pass casually in the future, and if he can cut me, I will lose. ”

Ichiro couldn't make a sound, so he could only silently look at the one in front of him.

"Let's click on the quiz, it will take a few minutes to see the anchor live his heyday today!"

The noisy voice sounded again, "Remind you, this is the 80th week of the streamer!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ichiro saw Ichishin on the screen and said, "This is my poor grandson...... A final wish. ”

Ichiro was suddenly confused.

But when he sees Isshin wearing a helmet and wearing the young Haori, Koichiro is full of confidence in the battle.

That's exactly what grandpa looked like when they met!

In the square, he swung the immortal slash, "Then I must pull the reed name out of the Yellow Spring Seed!" ”

"It's on! A wolf! ”

The sound of striking iron sounded.

Four minutes later.

Ichiro found that he couldn't even close his eyes.

It's even more impossible to seal your ears.

"Hahahaha, it only took three and a half points to pass the old thief this time!"

Noisy! Noisy! Noisy! Noisy! Noisy!

[Even grandpa ...... Defeated at the hands of that wild dog? 】

With such thoughts, Koichiro plunged into darkness.

Soon, his vision brightened again.

"Come on, come on, because of the recommendation of Pingtui, there are more new viewers this time, let's start playing "Wolves Die Twice" from the first week!"

[It's that voice again......]

[Is it the ninja who is manipulating Kuro?] 】

In this way, Ichiro was forced to pass the cloud over and over again as a point of view.

[It turns out that Kuro's ninja can already hurt the gods? 】

Gradually, he learned the truth about the destruction of the Hirata family three years ago.

He saw Kotaro who was tortured by Michishun in the dungeon because he gave the order to study the red ghost.

He saw the fearful fire ox, but had to obey the order to guard the reeds.

Similarly, the madness of Xianfeng Temple, the decline of Aquatic Village, the danger of White Snake Valley, and even the disgusting of Gennonomiya!

He saw all the secrets of the end of the year.

He finally knew why the teacher Ba killed himself.

He also understood why Jiulang sat back and watched the destruction of Reed's name, and was unwilling to rely on Yu Yin to distort the existence of people themselves.

Koichiro finally understands that he has not been protecting the real Ashina from beginning to end.

He didn't protect the people of Wei Ming, he was just protecting the fruits of his grandfather's theft of the country. What he protects is just the memory in his heart.

Day by day, over and over again.

Ichiro looked at the various endings, and finally understood the wolf, the grandfather, and Kuro.

He was known as Genichiro, and he was never a qualified monarch.

Every time he does something that he "has to do", he hastened the death of this country.

Even though Genichiro is now without a body, he is still mired in serious self-doubt.

Finally, perhaps because of the shamelessness of Ichiro, the self-proclaimed "game that only plays the soul series" streamer, also began to change games.

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Ring of the Ancients.

It was a declining country or a world.

There is a protagonist who can't die, and he will do everything he can to kill these people who maintain the old world.

These countries are not fundamentally different from the reeds.

After the anchor has played all the games for more than ten weeks, Ichiro finally understands what a game is.

At that moment, he couldn't believe that he had never existed.

It's just a level boss called "Ichiro Crumb" and "Rookie Professor".

[If you can, give me another chance... Can I really save Ashina? 】

He fantasized about it all the time.

Finally, one day, the opportunity seemed to come.

Having lost his sense of existence, Genichiro suddenly found that the picture in the square stopped, and the anchor stopped talking, and it was as long as two hours at a time.

Finally, he heard a sharp knock on the door, followed by a breakdown of the door.

"How's the people?"

"I'm not breathing, I can't imagine that it was a sudden death, let's call 120 first and see if there is any hope."

And just like that, Genichiro's world was pitch black again.

He got his chance.

But not to save.
