Chapter 9: The Shadow of Blood in the Lake

【Acquire Lucky Balloon*6;Acquire Lucky Balloon*7;Acquire Merchant Balloon*2]

[Do you pop all the non balloons and check the specific rewards?] 】

After dealing with the upper article, he pulled Murata to look for the Nichinawa knife at the police station for nearly ten minutes, and Genichiro finally heard the prompt sound of the system.

Although he didn't draw the Conjuring Spirit Balloon this time, Genichiro was not disappointed, after all, there was only a 1 in 1,000 chance.

The "knight's ring" on his hand has helped him a lot.

[Poke.] 】

Ichiro pondered in his mind.

Thanks to Murata's startled character, after he found out that Genichiro was really not dead, he contributed a large wave of prestige points in a fierce mood, so much so that Genichiro directly came to a fifteen consecutive draws.

At the moment, Ichiro's weakness is very obvious, whether it is to make up for his combat power or to save his life, there are a little too few props on his body.

Being able to kill eight ghost killers whose physical fitness is close to that of Murata is enough to say how dangerous that ghost is.

He had to be well prepared.

Let's talk about Murata.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Murata turned the evidence cabinet and the security room upside down, but still couldn't find where his Hinawa knife was.

"How could it be gone!"

"If I don't have the Hinakura Knife, then what's the use of me escaping from prison!"

"Not to mention that the task was not completed, now even the knife has been lost......"

"That master swordsmith was so terrifyingβ€”"

"I'd better jump into the river!"

Looking at Murata's loveless appearance, Genichiro felt a little guilty, but this uncomfortable feeling was immediately dispelled by him.

The Hinawa knife had already been targeted by him.

Even during the time of the Ichiro draw, he had already asked the eagles to go to the fat man's house to get it.

After all, with the induction of gold and steel summoning thunder as an anchor point, it should be easy to find that knife.

Unless Genichiro joins the Ghost Slayer Team, the chance of getting a Nichiren knife again is too slim.

After all, from 1,000 years ago to the present, if he were the leader of the Ghost Slayer Team, the rare metal that made the Nichiren Knife should have been mined and hidden, so as to avoid being discovered and destroyed by the ghosts.

"And what are you going to do now?"

There are still five prizes that haven't been popped up, and Genichiro has to drag Murata for a while.

"What to do...... What else can I do, the ghost slayer doesn't have a knife, so it's better to go to the Olympics......"

Murata tapped his head in anguish, his whole face wrinkled, "Since I can't find my knife here, I can only find a nearby house with a wisteria pattern to see if the hidden troops over there have collected the knives of the dead team members...... I don't think they should blame them if they know about it. ”

Murata spoke, his voice getting quieter and quieter, but soon he became strong again, "Anyway, but whether there is a knife or not, I have to find out the truth about the sacrifice of my teammates and prepare for the arrival of the pillar!" ”

The so-called hidden troops are non-combatants who are responsible for dealing with the fate of killing ghosts.

The Nichiren knives used by the reserve members when they went to Fuji Raid Mountain to participate in the selection were all taken by the hidden troops from the sacrificed members.

It's a bit like the memorial gang in "Wolves".

"You mean, you're going to go to the admiral's house called Fujita?"

"Yes. All the missing people went to the house of the general called Fujita before they disappeared. The nine of us were about to meet there, and the rest of the team should have been killed in that vicinity as well, but I'll have to ask someone from the Hidden Force about the specifics. ”

Murata clenched his fists, "I was arrested during the day, that is, those team members also died during the day!" This thing is full of weirdness, if I don't figure it out, I will even sacrifice the pillar, even if I continue to live, there is no point in it. ”

After making up his mind, Murata looked at Genichiro, "What about you?" Didn't you plan to join the Ghost Slayer before? If you want, I'll come with me, and the Hidden Force can take you to the Breeder for training. ”

"You're so smart at such a young age, and you're going to be a pillar one day."

Murata looked at Genichiro's eyes and swore as if he could see the future.

Since meeting Genichiro, the latter has been doing something unexpected.

It's incredible that you can even do such a thing as pretending to be dead and escaping from prison.

Immediately another 50 reputation points were contributed.

[Ah, I really can't bear to have such a big gold mine......]

[But the results of the lottery have already come out.] 】

Ichiro knew it was time to say goodbye.

"But today's incident, doesn't it mean that it is very risky to join the ghost killing team, and I was killed for no reason......

Ichiro finally looked like a normal child's fear, "I don't want to die so soon. ”

"Ah, I took the liberty of not expecting this."

Murata scratched his head with some shame, "However, you don't have a place to go now, do you?" If you don't want to kill ghosts directly, you can also go to the hidden army to help, after all, they are generally not in any danger, and the food is good, it is better than wandering without clothes like you. ”

"No, I still have a younger brother in Tokyo."

Ichiro said that it was naturally Jiulang, and then even the specific identity of Jiulang was arranged, "After he was born, his parents gave him to a businessman in Tokyo as an adopted son. I know the merchant's name, and if I can find him, the family should take care of me. ”

[Wait, Jiurou's age should be a little older than my current physical age......]

[It doesn't matter, I'm taller anyway.] 】

In Japan, this kind of thing of sending children to other people's homes is quite common, and Murata just nodded with a look of "I see".

"Good luck then. But if you're not happy and want to find me, you can send me a letter through a wisteria-patterned house, which usually has a crow. ”

"I see, then you be careful."

After the two said goodbye, Genichiro walked to the corner of the street, where the black-clothed Takashi were already waiting for him with the Hinawa sword and a change of clothes.

"Lord Genichiro, the matter has been completed, and I have also asked where the general's house named Fujita is."

Ichiro stretched out his hand, and the golden steel summoned thunder also appeared in his hand like a flash, and then it was included in the system space.

Now that the Nichiren Knife has been obtained, there is no need for Jingang Zhaolei to stay there and use it as a positioning device.

"Where's the fat cop?"

Ichiro asked lightly as he changed his clothes.

"If you dare to covet the treasure of our reed, I have already put you to death."

After speaking, as if to verify his words, a yellow paper figure drilled directly into the heart of Genichiro.

The so-called treasures of the eagles are by no means exaggerated rhetoric, and in a poor place like Reina, a treasure knife is too rare (although there are five in the whole game - Wedge Pill, King Kong Iron Dragon, Gold and Steel Summoning Thunder, and two Immortal Slashes). What's more, it is a divine sword that will not be damaged no matter how you fight.

"Before killing people in the future, remember to tell them the word reed, let them be a ghost."

Killing Shangjo before contributed 50 reputation points, but when the fat man died, he didn't, so he probably didn't connect the eagle and the reed.

Accumulate a lot, and 50 reputation points can't be discarded casually.

"Understood."

Two minutes later, Koichiro changed his clothes, a white yukata with a children's crow pattern.

If it weren't for the fact that Genichiro's face and hair were still dirty and dusty at the moment.

It's sure to look cute.

However, these eagles still carried private goods, and such a big crow pattern was completely a reminder that Ichiro should rely on them more.

After doing all this, Genichiro was immersed in consciousness and checked the results of this lottery.

Useless ash balls, pottery shards, and nearly 100,000 yen were directly skipped.

【Acquire Pill*2;Red Pearl*1】

[Obtain the character - screen ape; Obtain the Lonely Shadows*1】

No, he didn't draw Ashina, and Genichiro wasn't too disappointed.

After all, he didn't do anything now, and he rashly summoned his grandfather, and he didn't know how to face it.

The 15 non balloons draw out 5 useful things, and they are all thanks to Murata's blessings.

Among them, the pill is a reed-named miracle medicine, which has a needless effect and can slowly heal wounds.

Chichengzhu can make the user enter a state of red eyes, so that the body is not afraid of pain and fights to the death. But the effect is not as good as the dregs he once drank, and it cannot bring people back to life.

As for these two characters......

Ichiro directly threw two special paper figures to the ground, only to hear two "bang" sounds and a puff of smoke, and there were three more people and three monkeys on the ground out of thin air.

The reason why it is three monkeys is because stealth monkeys are naturally invisible.

Among them, the spectacled monkey has a strong field of vision, and can see sparks blooming a thousand meters away.

Wearing a strange funnel around his neck is an ear-hearing monkey who can hear everything around him.

As for the one with the gong on his chest, it is the mouth monkey, and if the monkey with eyes and ears notices something wrong, he will make a big noise and let everyone know.

[Okay, Jiulang's personal guards are the three of them. 】

[Since they can protect the Divine Son of Change, then they should not resist protecting Jiulang, the real Divine Son. 】

Xianichiro had also broken into the illusion corridor of Senfeng Temple to look for the Black Immortal Slash, so he naturally knew how difficult these three monkeys were.

They are not real monkeys, but patterns on the screen of the hallway.

It wasn't until after the death of those failed Divine Sons that they possessed these four monkeys in order to protect their friends and let them "come alive".

In other words, all four monkeys are immortal, and even if they are "killed", they are just going back to hiding in the painting.

After adjusting the monkey's free will to normal, Koichiro looked at the Lone Shadows.

There are no black or white hats, just an ordinary lone shadow who is good at swordsmanship and leg skills, and can also summon ninja dogs.

What Genichiro gave him was the same general free will.

Although he used to be enemies with the Lone Shadows, it would be meaningless if the ninja was not able to improvise.

Anyway, under the constraints of the system, they can't betray at all.

"Ichiro-sama."

The Lone Shadow Crowd knelt on one knee and said respectfully, but their eyes glanced at the black-clothed Eagle Crowd with contempt.

The latter's entire face was hidden in the mask, and he couldn't see his expression, but the scythe in his hand turned up, emitting a bright spark.

If there is no Ichiro here at this moment, the two of them will definitely get angry, and it is difficult to say whether they win or lose.

The Lone Shadow Crowd is an invader from the Inner Palace, with high martial arts and ruthless methods; The eagles are local country ninjas in Reed, and if they can't be defeated, they will all die together.

The former is powerful, the latter is weird, and he can be regarded as an old enemy.

As for the three apes that appeared, perhaps due to the tension between the two, they all stared nervously at their surroundings, their eyes full of vigilance.

"Stealth Monkey?" Ichiro exclaimed tentatively.

"Ahh Yes! ”

The voice came from a corner where there was nothing.

"You two are ninjas, can you find any traces of it?"

Ichiro looked at the Lonely Shadows and the Eagles.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"If you can't even see the eyes of a ninja, then Murata won't be able to spot it."

Genichiro nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the Lone Shadows, "You and the stealth monkey, go find the ghost killer Murata who was by my side before, and he walked in that direction." He is wearing a black suit with a word extinguishing on his back. ”

"As for me and the eagles, let's go and explore the suspicious admiral's mansion. If Murata wants to go where I am, then you can stop him, I believe it should be easy for you, right? ”

"Please rest assured."

As soon as the lone shadow finished speaking, he realized that something heavy had fallen on his shoulder.

He turned his head and couldn't see anything, but he could feel the furry paws plucking at his ears.

"In any case, don't expose the stealth monkey, let the stealth monkey always follow Murata."

"By the way, you bring this pill with you."

Before the lonely shadows could be moved, they heard the second half of Ichiro's words: "If Murata is in danger, feed him this medicine." I used up too much of his luck today, and I definitely can't let him die like this, and part of the revival of Reed's name depends on him. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. "Unlike the grievances of the Lone Shadow Crowd, the Eagles over there are all about to laugh.

"Ah~ah~" The stealth monkey also let out a mocking cry.

"Alright, now that all the preparations are complete, let's go and see what one of these ghosts can do!"

……

At the same time, the estate of Admiral Fujita.

On Gazebo Mountain in an artificial lake, Fujita is drinking with a fellow naval soldier.

To be precise, although the navy was already drunk and couldn't speak clearly, Fujita was still very sober, and although he was smiling, his expression was very stiff, as if he was waiting for someone, but the other party was delayed.

"Fujita Dana, I'...... I can go to your ...... in the future. Is there service on board? ”

The sailor felt like he was living in a dream, being entertained alone by a naval hero who had achieved the highest rank in the Russo-Japanese War. Although the two have a sense of fellow villagers, Fujita was already a soldier when he was born, and it is a relationship that cannot be beaten by eight poles.

"That's up to you, Xiaoshan-kun."

Suddenly, there was a sound of water in the lake, and Fujita quickly turned his head, but he didn't see anything.

When he turned around, he said to the young navy named Xiaoshan with a deep face.

"As long as you have the consciousness to sacrifice for the navy, let alone let you go up to serve, I can even use your name to name the battery on the ship."

"If that's the case, I'll definitely ...... It's history......" Xiaoshan laughed happily.

"Then let me ask you a question, and you have to answer it solemnly."

Fujita stood up, grabbed Koyama's shoulder, and pressed him hard, "Are you really willing to give your life to fulfill this wish?" ”

"......" Xiaoshan was a little confused, "but hasn't there been a war for several years......

Just as Fujita's face was anxious, Koyama continued: "But if the navy is in need, even if it is a doppelganger, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life!" ”

Hearing this, Fujita exhaled and sat down slowly, with three points of happiness and seven points of guilt in his eyes.

Suddenly, he shouted at the calm lake, "Did you hear that? He was the twentieth to say that! Our bet is that you lose! You're losing! According to the agreement, you can't kill me! So use him instead of me! ”

"Fujita Danna...... What are you talking about? What is not killed......"

Navy Xiaoshan got up from the ground crookedly, slowly walked to the edge of the pavilion, and looked strangely at the dark and deep lake: "Who is there ...... here?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a huge wave rolled up from the surface of the lake out of thin air, and the hill was suddenly slapped into the water by the sudden spray, and he just wanted to struggle, but he felt that his ankle was entangled in something icy and slippery, and then he was dragged and sank into the water by a huge force.

After more than ten seconds, on the surface of the water that could still be seen by the light, only some foam and a touch of crimson remained.
