Ichiro came out of the hot spring and rushed through the water, got dressed and walked out, and when he opened the paper door of the room, he saw that Butterfly Chanae was already sitting at the low table with a preachy expression.

It's not like I'm going to discuss my sister's marriage at all.

However, even if she tried her best to make her look serious, those clear, gentle eyes would have ruined all her efforts.

"Oh, did I avoid their apologies?"

Ichiro sat down, looking as usual, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Butterfly Chana.

The so-called them, of course, refer to the boss, the boss's wife and the boss's son's family.

At noon, the innkeeper Yu, who was also beaten by Genichiro, fell headlong into the snow and held his breath, but Chanae used his superb medical skills to wake him up.

When the proprietress came out of the house and learned what had happened from the village chief, she knew that it was definitely not the guest's problem, so she immediately reprimanded the father and son.

After all, in the mouth of the village chief, Genichiro just "pushed" the drunk Yuya to protect the weak woman.

The proprietress also said that when her husband sobered up, she would definitely ask him to formally apologize again.

And Genichiro simply took the fire extinguishing powder and soaked in the hot spring for a long time, in order to avoid the embarrassing scene.

Even during this period, he successfully defeated Haruta in real mode and gained an attack power level of +1.

To be honest, he didn't know why he suddenly shot at an ordinary person at noon.

If you think about it carefully, maybe it's because you're worried that Huazhu will be attacked again and completely lose your ability to fight.

After all, looking at her appearance, it seems that she doesn't intend to protect herself.

Seeing that Ichiro didn't care, Butterfly Kanae decided to show what she looked like when she occasionally taught her sister.

"How can you do such a heavy hand to someone?"

Chanae remembered the ripples that shook in the air, and she was afraid for a while, "Do you know that if you hit the heart of Yuya's boss, he might die!" ”

"Oh, so what do I do? Do you want to be like in the morning, when a child almost broke his finger with a flat pole, and couldn't even hold a knife? ”

Ichiro drank his tea, retorted to Chanae with a calm expression, his eyes pointing to her bandaged middle finger of his right hand.

Besides, there is no one else around at the moment, and he no longer intends to hide his true purpose.

"If you can't hold a knife, how can you kill a ghost? Miss Flower Pillar. ”

"You ......"

Rao is a butterfly Chanae's usual dignified and steady posture, and suddenly he was pointed out by the child who always thought it was just some mystery, and he couldn't help but lose his face for a moment.

"Do you know who I am?"

【Obtained from Flower Pillar...... 1500 points】

At this time, all the details since the meeting with Genichiro quickly appeared in the mind of Butterfly Chanae.

She finally understood why this purposeful child would approach her on the train.

The other party asked questions on the train, and it was not at all to find a suitable hot spring, but to know her destination!

"So, you've been lying to me from the beginning?"

Chanae hid her inner surprise, she felt a little uncomfortable being used by such a child.

"If I don't use some special means, according to the rules of your ghost killing team, how can you tell me that something happened in this village?"

Ichiro doesn't mean to be embarrassed, this kind of thing is not even black history for him, who is called "Ichiro Crumb".

Butterfly Chanae sat up straight, took a few deep breaths, and the gentleness in her eyes finally narrowed a little.

"So, may I ask Master Genichiro Rei, why did you have to come to this village?"

Strange reed-named chicken.

Strange glowing treats.

A martial art far beyond ordinary people.

A character and retinue with a disregard for life.

Butterfly Chanae began to wonder if the mysterious child in front of her had something to do with ghosts?

"Please don't let your imagination run wild."

Ichiro interrupted the other party's brainstorming, "My purpose is the same as yours, just to find those who are missing. ”

"Among these missing ghost killers, there is a guy named Murata, who is considered my benefactor."

"I have not been able to contact him through the hidden forces of the Wisteria family, only that he was last seen in a village in Kumamoto."

"As for meeting you on the train, it's all the good luck that God brought me, so naturally there is no reason to let it go."

"As for what's next, you know it all."

Because of the experience of being deceived, Butterfly Chanae stared at every movement of Genichiro throughout the whole process to judge whether he was lying.

But based on his years of experience with patients, he was telling the truth this time.

In this way, her heart finally let go, "So that's the case." ”

"I didn't expect someone like Mr. Murata to have such a glorious experience."

"If you knew that you were so anxious to know his safety, he would have felt that his work was valuable!"

Ichiro: "......"

[Why do they all say that about Murata!] 】

[Is he really that untrustworthy?] 】

"But."

Butterfly Chanae's voice changed, and her brows furrowed, "Since you have accepted Murata's help, you should understand that ghosts are a very dangerous thing!" ”

"Even if you want to repay your kindness, it is too reckless to come to this place rashly."

"So for the sake of your safety, please go home, as for the search for the missing team members, it is my job."

Ichiro was unmoved.

"You ghost squads aren't police, so there's no reason to order me."

Butterfly Chanae was a little helpless.

Usually, when you meet people who accept the help of the ghost killing team, most of them will obey them, after all, no matter how sad and angry they are, they are essentially afraid of ghosts.

But at first glance, Genichiro looks like a child who likes to make ideas, and he doesn't seem to care about his own life, so he really doesn't know how to make sense of him.

"Besides, if you want to find them quickly, I'm the only help you can use."

"Help?"

Butterfly Chanae said suspiciously: "Although I know that Ichiro knows some martial arts, I'm afraid it won't help me much." ”

"It doesn't have to be able to kill ghosts to be helpful, and intelligence is the same."

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Chanae won't even be able to dig up some information from the villagers before I arrive."

Butterfly Chana: "......"

This time it's something really special.

I don't know what the ghost killers who were active here did before to cause so much hostility from the local villagers.

And this has become the biggest obstacle to her investigation.

"I'm afraid you don't know."

Ichiro's eyebrows were suppressed, "As soon as you were kicked out of this inn in the morning, she sent her son Yamasuke to inform the owners of the inns that they must conceal information about the Demon Slayer team. ”

"What?"

Butterfly Chanae didn't know if she really couldn't figure it out, or if she didn't dare to think like that at all.

"But how do you know that?"

"I have my own channels."

"And you remember, the village chief said that before the Ghost Slayer team left, he warned the tourists who were soaking in the hot springs that there was something wrong with the hot springs. ”

Butterfly Chanae nodded, "So what?" ”

"This means that the ghost slayer team may have found out that the hot springs were related to ghosts, but they couldn't find the ghost and kill him."

"Otherwise, with the code of conduct of your ghost killing team, how could you carry out such a large-scale evacuation of people, not to mention, this is the economic lifeblood and reputation of a village?"

Butterfly Chanae is a brilliant person who immediately figured out the key.

"You—...... you mean?"

There was some disbelief in her eyes.

"That's right."

"I've just experienced the hot springs here, and the color is very clear, but it doesn't taste like it, and the temperature is excellent, so it's unusually good." ”

"It's an unforgettable feeling, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best hot spring in Japan."

"But this kind of hot spring only came into people's attention two or three years ago."

"So it's almost certain that the appearance of the hot springs in Xinshangquan Village must have an inexplicable relationship with ghosts."

"The disappearance of the members of the ghost killing team is most likely the result of the villagers and ghosts uniting."

"And those who disappeared in the past were just sacrifices in the village to keep this hot spring alive!"

Butterfly Chanae listened to Genichiro's speculation, and her lips trembled: "This is impossible. ”

In her mind, it was already inconceivable that people would cooperate with ghosts.

Generally speaking, ghosts regard humans as food, and the relationship between the two is almost irreconcilable.

She had only heard of ghosts forcing humans to do terrible things, but she had never seen people use ghosts for profit.

What's more, this is a whole village.

"You remember, what he said before you were beaten by that kid in the morning."

"In the past, people in this village didn't even have enough to eat, but since the hot springs, their lives have changed dramatically. It is precisely because of this that they are hostile to the man in black who destroys this situation. ”

"You say that in order to maintain this life, the villagers contribute several irrelevant people who even want to destroy this life......"

"Is there anything impossible?

Knowing the tragedy of the Aquatic Village, having seen the undead settlement that provided Eldridge with "food" in "Black Souls 3", and the townspeople of Yanan who were obsessed with blood healing in "Blood Origin", he knew that humans themselves were enough to do terrible things.

Coupled with the previous incident of the water ghost Haruta making himself, the naval hero Fujita Emasa who is a human being is even more terrifying.

Therefore, based on the limited information, he will weave the darkest truth of Shinshangquan Village in his mind.

"It's all just your guess."

Butterfly Chanae's gentle heart couldn't help but defend these villagers.

"I will never accept such a truth."

"The more people who have experienced that kind of difficult life, the more they know how to respect the lives of others."

"In order to make your life better, and then cooperate with ghosts, and then live in guilt for the rest of your life, this is definitely not a way of survival that people can accept!"

Butterfly Chana Hui is righteous, and she does think so.

If it were her, she would rather be killed and eaten by a ghost than exchange someone else's life for a living.

"And what are you going to do?"

Ichiro was a little annoyed.

"You know, Murata and they have been missing for three or four days, even if they are not killed by ghosts, they are just trapped somewhere, and if they don't eat for three or four days, their lives will be in danger!"

"In this emergency situation, how do you plan to find out the whereabouts of the team members as soon as possible?"

"If you blindly listen to these villagers and take lies as clues, you will only waste more time."

Butterfly Chanae knew that Ichiro had a point.

Even if they didn't cooperate with the ghosts, but they just didn't want to provide useful information, she would have to spend a lot of effort searching around.

However, in this case, the chances of survival of the team members will be greatly reduced.

"Do you have a way to hear the truth from them?"

Genichiro was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "You won't like it." ”

"You can leave things to my people, and then you just need to find people according to the place."

Butterfly Chanae immediately thought of following Genichiro, the middle-aged man who was indifferent to life, and immediately understood Genichiro's "method".

Left and right are some methods of torture and other methods to obtain confessions.

"Absolutely not!"

Kanae was really angry, and suddenly got up from the ground and looked at Genichiro condescendingly.

"I don't know why you think people are so evil!"

"But I will never allow you to harm the villagers here!"

"Every one of us ghost killers has the consciousness of sacrificing ourselves to save others!"

"If they use this method, even if they rescue Murata, they will never forgive themselves."

Ichiro's eyes were completely indifferent, and he slowly got up from the ground.

"I'm here so that Murata can live."

When he said this, he was obviously really angry, because the stubbornness of Butterfly Chanae was simply beyond his imagination.

Of course, he could continue to let the Randolphs eavesdrop, but who knows how long it will take to hear about the ghosts and who to eavesdrop.

Arresting a few people who are most likely to know, torture them separately, and compare their confessions is the fastest and safest way at the moment!

"Miss Chana, it is very important for me that Murata survived. If you're not willing to help me, you'd better not stand in my way. ”

Ichiro opened the door and made a gesture of sending off guests.

"Maybe you're good at killing ghosts."

"But I'm good at killing."

The room built on the edge of the hot spring seems to be completely frozen because of Ichiro's words.

Butterfly Chanae couldn't believe that she would hear such words in a child's mouth, and a chill surged up from behind her, quickly enveloping her whole body.

She knew that Ichiro wasn't talking angry.

He does anything to achieve his goal.

But inexplicably, her eyes became gentle again, as if she had seen something beautiful being beaten to pieces.

She took two steps forward, suddenly crouched down in front of Genichiro and grabbed his hand.

"Although I don't know what you've been through to have such hostility towards people."

"But please give me some time to think about whether there is a better way to find out where they are."

Butterfly Chane's compassionate gaze made Ichiro turn his head uncomfortably.

"I'll give you a day."

"Tomorrow night, if your method doesn't work, I'll do my way."

“…… Good. ”
