Chapter 33: The Choice
"There's no way out here."
Ichiro carefully inspected the small ventilation room again.
He was a little suspicious that this place was specially designed by the ghost, otherwise it would have been too coincidental to appear.
The small "skylight" above their heads was at least five meters above the ground, and even if they did, Koichiro wouldn't be able to turn into a bug and get out of there.
"Don't say those depressing words, boy with the name of Wei."
Maybe it's because his body functions are gradually recovering, and the immortal Minoru Kawa is speaking more and more directly and rudely.
The previous courtesies to the savior were also forgotten by him.
With a cold face, he lifted the body of his teammate Youping to the side of the narrow pit, and then pushed the latter out like a needle.
"Back to that hellish place."
"As long as Uncle Immortal Chuan has strength, he will never sit back and watch that ghost who doesn't even dare to show his face get proud!"
He slammed his fist into the wall.
At this time, the effect of the medicine on both of them had ended, and the green light had disappeared.
The sound of the Immortal River's manic breathing was almost like a night wind in the desert whistling through the ruins, making people shudder.
For a while, Ichiro didn't know if it was right or wrong to save this person.
However, in this kind of place, it is better to have one more person than one less.
Kurou always told him that if he was alone in everything, he would make irreparable decisions under great pressure.
Although Genichiro is not used to relying on others, he is clear about his shortcomings.
Maybe there is a reason why God left this person here.
"It's poisonous out there, you wait a minute."
Ichiro walked over in the dark, with the sound of the other party's breathing as a reference, which was not difficult, but every step felt like he was approaching an angry bear.
"It's a fire extinguishing powder that will allow you to withstand the heat for a period of time without being ignited by a normal flame."
He shoved the packet of extinguishing powder into Immortal's left hand, but then slipped a pill into the latter's right hand.
Ichiro clearly felt that when he touched this person's skin, he seemed to be very resistant, as if he didn't like to be close to people.
"This is a pill, the kind that you just fed and dosed, and it can restore you to life...... Physical. ”
Immortal River was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how good it would be if he had this kind of supply sooner.
In the dark, Immortal Chuan asked out loud for a long time, "How many of these things do you have?" ”
"There's only one pack of fire extinguishing powder."
Ichiro regretted that he used up a pack in the hot spring yesterday in order to delay time, after all, he never thought that the ghost would use fire-related power in the underworld.
"There are two more pills."
"Give it all to me!"
Immortal Chuan spoke categorically, fiercely, and had no intention of negotiating at all.
Ichiro's first reaction was, "You actually want to save your benefactor's things?"
I can't even do this.
"What?"
"I'll give it all to me!"
In the darkness, Immortal Kawa grabbed Koichiro's collar with precision, almost lifting the latter in mid-air.
"You're just a little ghost, what's the use of going out, even if you find a way out and meet a ghost, you can only drag me down!"
"You're waiting for me here. Give me all the medicine, and if Uncle Ben kills that ghost, he will naturally bring someone back to you. ”
Immortal Chuan paused, "If I don't come back, you won't have to suffer outside. There is a knife on the right flat that you can ......"
“…… Self-disconnected. ”
Immortal Chuan's voice trembled a little excitedly, stirring back and forth in the small space, "In short, if the worst happens, no matter how you die, it is better than being eaten by a ghost!" ”
"As for dealing with that ghost, I'll be enough alone."
"Rather than having that precious medicine wasted by you, it's better to give it all to me."
Hearing this, Genichiro's bowing combo punch, which had already begun to accumulate, suddenly relaxed.
He vaguely understood that this terrifying-looking teenager just didn't want him to die.
He thought that it would be ridiculous enough to have a butterfly Chanae in the world, that woman was so kind that she was annoying, she was a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and she liked to talk about principles.
And although this guy in front of him is disliked at first sight, he can't be annoyed.
These people of the ghost slayer team seem to be different in their actions, but they don't think much differently.
It's just that he wants to be the master of others too much, which is really hard for Genichiro to bear.
Ichiro pinched Immortal Chuan's wrist, and the power of up to 10 points made Immortal Chuan feel frightened, and he subconsciously let go of his hand a little, and Genichiro also took this opportunity to break free, and immediately took a step back.
"I don't want to go out either, but the ghost and I already have a personal vendetta."
The belt that Warabi gave him was the first gift that Koichiro had received since he came to this world, and now it is gone.
Besides, the missing Murata, maybe for some special reason, was taken away by the ghost alone for dinner.
Although Koichiro wanted to use up to 110,000 reputation points right now, he always felt that it would be a loss to do so without seeing Murata's corpse.
Ichiro leaned down, having already decided to go to the lava cave before the Immortal River.
"What's more, as the saying goes: there is the glory of death, but there is no shame of life."
"It's more unacceptable to stay here and wait for death than to be a ghost dinner."
"Thank you for thinking for me, but I'd rather die than hide here."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Immortal Chuan's reaction, and drilled over by himself.
Immortal Kawa Minoru didn't expect this child to have this kind of awareness, so he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately followed.
The two returned to the dark area of the lava cavern, and the unpleasant smell of sulfur and heat immediately hit them, heralding a difficult road ahead.
They didn't say anything until they followed the red light to the closest point to the lava path.
It was also at this time that Immortal Chuan discovered that this unusual child actually carried a huge sword himself.
The knife was illuminated by the red light, and at first glance, it was by no means an ordinary knife.
However, now is not the time to inquire about gossip and satisfy curiosity.
There was no end in sight to this dimly lit lava path, and neither Immortalgawa nor Genichiro could be sure if there was really a way out there.
Ichiro walked over to the place where he had cut his clothes and picked up the half-cut trouser tube that had been left there.
"I've heard Murata say that your ghost slayer uniforms are specially made."
Ichiro broke the silence and crumpled his pants.
Immortal Chuan tugged at his collar, "I don't know much about this, but ordinary flames can't light a team uniform." ”
"Hmmm......"
Ichiro threw his trousers far away, onto the lava floor like a festering wound.
"Now is the time to verify that."
The black cloth fell to the ground, and there was no reaction at first, although Immortal Chuan knew that it was not the time, but he was also proud of the uniform of the Ghost Slayer Team.
But before he could laugh, the black cloth suddenly turned violently into a red flame, and then became part of the lava ashes.
"Shhhh
The two gasped for sulfide gas.
"If it's a human, force it over and you'll be roasted in a few seconds."
Ichiro is quite calm.
But Immortal Chuan is not so calm.
"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! He roared and smashed the rock pillars beside him.
I've finally been saved, do you want to be trapped in this place again?
Annoyed for a while, Immortal Chuan suddenly asked, "If you use the fire extinguishing powder you gave me, can you walk over here?" ”
Ichiro pondered for a moment, "If we can step on something, the fire extinguishing powder should be enough to withstand the rising heat wave and set us on fire." But count on ...... with your feet."
He didn't finish his words, and Immortal Chuan naturally understood what he meant.
He looked left and right, and suddenly pulled out the Hinawa knife and slashed down at the stone pillar in front of him!
"Wind Breath, Type II, Claw Claw, Koto Wind!"
Stringichiro was surprised to see that with the blow of the Immortal River, four shallow sharp sword qi appeared in the air out of thin air, and four deep wounds were scraped on the rock.
He knew that the Immortal River wanted to split the rock pillars in front of him into several pieces, and then use them as stepping stones to cross the lava.
"Kehu wind!"
"Kehu wind!"
"Kehu wind!"
After four fierce attacks in a row, the half-meter-wide rock pillar beside the two of them finally turned into five flat stones.
Immortal River was coughing violently because of inhaling a large amount of sulfur gas.
"Is this breathing?"
Ichiro's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that with the fragile Nichiren knife of the Ghost Slayer Team, he would really be able to cut through the rock.
And even a B-level team member, can you release sword qi?
(In this work, in order to maintain the balance of combat power, the special effect of the ghost slaying breathing method is the real sword qi, please see the preface for details.) )
At this time, the immortal river, which had regained the rhythm of breathing, had already flown up several feet in a row, kicking the rocks out and letting them fall in line among the lava.
Five and a half meters wide rocks, each almost a meter apart.
They also rested firmly on the lava, and had no intention of sinking for the time being.
"I'll go over and see how long this road is."
After Immortal Chuan finished speaking, he took the fire extinguishing powder, and used the breathing method to step lightly on the first stone, and then concocted the same method.
He looked across the stone at the front for a while, and then returned to Genichiro.
"How?"
He saw that Immortal Chuan's face was a little gloomy, and the situation might not be as good as it should be.
"At least three more than that's the distance, and then there's normal ground, and there's a cavern over there that leads to the interior, and then there's nothing to see."
Immortal River's words made Ichiro's heart sink.
That is, they also need at least 15 more of these stone pads!
Genichiro looked around, and there was only one rock pillar nearby!
"What the damn thing!"
Immortal Chuan obviously noticed this as well, and yelled angrily at the other side, "Are you so afraid to face us? ”
"We're using flesh and blood against monsters like you! Don't you even dare to meet each other? Only when we are all dead will you dare to come and eat me? ”
However, after venting, Immortal Chuan knew that as long as he couldn't get through here, let alone killing ghosts, even surviving was a problem.
"Could it be that this ghost can only be handed over to the woman who is a flower pillar?"
He was unwilling to withdraw his knife repeatedly, apparently irritated to the extreme.
"We can't count on Miss Chana."
"Why?" Immortal Chuan frowned, and didn't seem to like Genichiro's statement, "Although she is a woman, she is a pillar after all." ”
Ichiro replied with some apprehension, "She's too kind and too soft-hearted. If you are deceived by that little ghost named Sansuke, it is very likely that you will end up with us. ”
"Now that I'm missing, there's a good chance she'll come looking for me. If that little ghost moves all her mind, there is a high chance that she will be hit. ”
Hearing this, Immortal Chuan suddenly raised his head: "This is absolutely not good. I'm not going to let that happen. ”
[Why are you so excited? 】
[Wait, the guy who Butterfly Chanae mentioned on the train is "rough but very gentle" and "would rather hurt himself than protect others"......]
"You don't like peony cakes, do you?"
"Huh?" Immortal Chuan wondered, "How do you know?" ’
"Not really."
The suspicion in my mind was confirmed, "Miss Chanae mentioned you on the train, and it seems that you are her very important person." ”
"What are you doing now!"
Immortal Chuan's face was a little embarrassed, "She is the doctor of the Ghost Killing Team, and every member of the team is her important person. ”
"Anyway, what else is there to get out of here now! Whether it's that ghost or that hateful liar, Uncle Ben will have to dismantle them to pieces! ”
"There must not be another victim!"
"The solution is to have a ......"
Ichiro said solemnly, and glanced back pointedly.
Immortal Chuan followed Genichiro's eyes and saw that it was the corpse of the ghost slayer who had been stripped of his team uniform by Genichiro.
"You—...... you mean?"
Ichiro nodded.
He meant, of course, to step on the corpses of those ghost killers.
Although there were only ten corpses, the corpses were longer than stones, and ten corpses were just enough.
But this is too cruel for Immortal Chuan, who is also a member of the team.
Immortal River's somewhat crazy eyes stared at Genichiro, as if the latter was the one with an abnormal brain.
"How can this work?"
There was little hint of weakness in his tone.
I don't know if I want Koichiro to retract this idea, or if I hope I don't think about this possibility.
"I know you can't take it."
Genichiro was also annoyed, if only he hadn't met this guy, he himself would have moved these corpses into it to use it for the road.
But he inexplicably admired the guy in front of him, and now even if he let him kill Immortal Chuan, he didn't want to do it.
He must be persuaded to agree.
Otherwise, you can only do something that you can't explain to the Immortal River, and see if you can summon some villagers from the Aquatic Village to send them to death.
After all, they're already dead.
But, that's the next step.
"Fire extinguishing powder works like a pill, only for five minutes."
Genichiro first pointed to the orange-red glow on the Immortal River, and then to the stone above the lava.
"And those rocks are slowly sinking, so we don't have time to think about it."
Immortal Chuan knew that Genichiro's words were true.
He had to make a decision.
"I ......"
Immortal Chuan's face full of scars revealed a sadness that he hadn't seen since joining the Ghost Slayer Team.
"I don't even know their names!"
Ichiro also sighed.
He didn't want that.
"What's the use of knowing their names if you can't even avenge them?"
……
The author's outline was on the opposite side of the ghost three chapters ago.
But once I write it in detail, I hope that I can write the changes in the hearts of the characters reasonably, and the number of words will increase at once, and I always feel that the overall rhythm is very slow.
Alas, it's a free chapter anyway.,This way of writing may have something to do with the books I read.,You guys will read it first.,I'll try to change this style.,Or I'll have time for two more a day in the future.。
