Chapter 45: Wu Miao wants to find an ally
"Wow! It's so hot! It's so hot! ”
In the dark room, where the curtains were closed so that not even a little moonlight could penetrate the corner, the woman's terrible screams woke up the man sleeping next to her.
In a hurry, the man quickly turned on the dimly lit radio lamp and looked back at his newlywed wife, who was sitting up in shock.
"Nanako, what's wrong with you? Got a nightmare? ”
His voice was full of pity and concern, and his eyes were full of worry.
However, his wife, whom he called Nanako, fluttered uncharacteristically frantically up and down her body, as if there was a non-existent flame scurrying around above.
Her two beautiful pomegranate-red pupils were no longer the calm and calm of the past, but were covered with purple-black hideous bloodshots, and the sides of her forehead were even more green and knotted, obviously looking extremely frightened, and her face was even slightly deformed.
Although the wife's appearance looked a little scary, the husband still hugged her fragrant shoulder very manly, hoping to warm the other party's cold skin with his own body.
He only knew before that this woman who fell in love with him at first sight had an extremely tragic past, and because of illness, he could not bask in the sun during the day.
But now it seems that even at night, she will show her vulnerable side.
I must have remembered some of the past.
Nanako is so pitiful.
It's so beautiful and moving, but you can't enjoy the sunshine during the day, not to mention, and you have to be tortured by such inhumanity when you sleep at night.
I'm going to take good care of her.
He thought so.
And Nanako, or Ghost Dance Tsuji no Miserable dressed as Nanako, finally calmed down, and the sound of blood flowing from the man's neck made her more and more calm.
The advantage of being a ghost is that your appetite is up, you can suppress all other emotions, and even your fear can be balanced.
In the blind spot where the man could not see, the scarlet bone sickle growing from her elbow slowly retracted.
It's not time to eat him yet.
"Is it a dream?"
She was quietly held in her husband's arms and began to think back to the scene she had seen in her dreams.
A thin, thin-skinned old man who looked like he was in his hands stood in the lava, the flames coiling around his sword as if consciously.
Then, a wave of fire covered her field of vision, carrying a rain of magma to fall, and she had not been injured for hundreds of years, and suddenly felt a sharp burning pain.
She still remembers that in her dream, after being attacked by flames, it seemed that she couldn't even recover from her injuries! She struggled desperately in the water, only to be decapitated by an attack out of sight.
Then, Nanako was awakened.
"No, it's not a dream!"
Nanako felt her body, and the dark wound inflicted on her by Ji Guoenyi hundreds of years ago seemed to emit a burning pain again.
"It's Drowning that guy who died!"
"Those just now, are the images she saw before she died!"
Nanako's expression was visibly gloomy to the naked eye.
The Four Drowning Princesses, who can use guilt to melt human flesh and blood, or make their hearts burst to death, can be said to be one of the most difficult ghosts.
Therefore, Drowning Ji is also Nanazi's most optimistic about the lower string ghost in addition to being tired (the fifth of the downline) and Gu Houniao (one of the current downlines), and she is very important to her.
She is also the only one among the lower string ghosts who has held on to her position for a hundred years.
If it weren't for her picky eater, she might have been able to become a winder.
Drowning Ji likes to use her guilt to control other ghosts to get food for her, and when she encounters danger, she will throw the other party out as a shield and escape, so for so many years, she has never been discovered by the ghost killing team. Even other Ghost Moon wanted to launch a bloody battle against her, but they couldn't find her place at all.
It can be said that the cautious personality and extremely picky taste of the drowning hime are excellent with Nanako's compatibility.
So much so, in order to make her grow better, Nanako once gave her a lot of her own blood, which was used to make some ghosts that could be used.
But now even she's dead!
He also died at the hands of an old man who could survive in magma and even attack like a ghost!
"What's that old man? He couldn't have been human, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use that kind of attack, and he wouldn't have survived in the lava......"
Kumamoto is far away from Tokyo, and the information that Nanako obtains is only the most terrifying and memorable scene for Drowning.
And this scene didn't contain enough information to tell her that the old man was actually an apparition created by Drowning Hime's blood ghost magic.
Therefore, Nanako mistakenly thinks that Reed's name is a real "thing".
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and her face was extremely pale.
"Could it be that there really exist like me in this world?"
The last time I saw the red-eyed boy in Kanda Ward, Nanako also played the role of Sonoko, a mixed-race girl from a foreign country.
She remembered that the young man with the scarlet light in his eyes seemed to have an aura similar to hers. For this reason, she also specially asked Fallen Ji to pay attention to her.
By the way, what's that boy's name?
It seems to be Genichiro Reina.
Since then, speculation that something similar to her has begun to take root in Nanako's heart.
And the existence of the old man just now seems to further confirm this possibility.
If the old man wasn't a creature like him, how could he stand in the magma and even attack with a bloody ghostly spell?
Moreover, it is obvious to the other party that it is a hostile relationship with ghosts!
The old man must have come for her!
There are other things that want to steal her place!
Nanako thought paranoidly.
"And that flame seems to be something that can make the ghost unrecoverable!"
In fact, Nanako misunderstood not only the existence of Ashina's Ichishin, but also the power of the flames.
What really eliminated the immortality of Drowning Ji was the source of the red eye that brought Nanako a bad feeling last time-Chi Chengzhu.
The red pearl comes from the change of water, and the change of water comes from the palace of the source, and in the final analysis, it is the power of the cherry dragon, and it is the god that is truly believed in.
And that's what she should really be afraid of.
"Damn! I didn't find it, and the group of ants of the ghost killing team didn't be wiped out, and now there is one more thing in the world that can kill me? ”
Nanazi thought of this, and in order to hide the fear in her heart, a monstrous anger suddenly appeared in her heart, and she immediately turned her anger on the other ghost moons.
"These useless guys! Is there nothing to do with my blood just like that? What the hell are they for! ”
In the room that was already quite cool, there was suddenly an extreme cold.
The husband seemed to feel the sudden drop in temperature, and directly wrapped Nanazi tightly in his warm quilt, and then looked into her eyes and asked with concern, "Don't be afraid, Nanazi." With me here, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest. ”
This time, Nanazi's "husband" is a young army general with a prominent family background and a promising future. Maybe it's because she's become more and more insecure lately, and she doesn't even want to play the role of a man who takes care of her family.
On the contrary, it is the women who need to be protected, and it is easier to play.
Nanako's husband has a handsome eyebrow, handsome facial features, a strong body, a sunny and sincere smile, and is an excellent man among human beings.
For a few minutes and a second, Nanako, who was staring at her, really wanted to continue to live as a human like this, and let the remaining ghosts die, or let other super creatures take her place, she didn't care.
But in the next moment, a deep evil thought rose from her heart like an indelible curse, and completely dispelled this thought.
"You say, you're not going to let me get hurt in the slightest?"
Her delicate voice sounded, and people couldn't help but feel pity.
"Well, don't Nanako believe it?"
Her husband gently rubbed the ends of her hair, "If anyone wants to hurt you, ask me if I have the gun in my hand first." ”
Rao was on his terms, and he didn't expect that he would marry such a beautiful woman, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was shocked.
He secretly decided in his heart that it would not be a pity to pay any price for Nanazi.
However, his answer seemed to give Nanako some inspiration.
"Guns?"
Nanako muttered.
She looked at her temporary husband and suddenly thought of his identity - a soldier.
He was even the son of a high-ranking officer in the Army Department.
The two figures in her heart that made her feel terrified - Jiguo Yuanichi hundreds of years ago, and the reeda Ichixin she had just seen gradually overlapped, but what they had in common, even if she felt threatened, was just the knife in her hand.
Although the Nichiren sword can kill demons, it cannot deal with soldiers with guns. A gun can kill people, but it can't help her.
"Can I use the Japanese army to protect myself?"
"If they can use the knife in their hands against me, can they still deal with the army?"
Thinking about this, Nanako finally showed a sneer that broke the ice.
……
[Gain 1000 reputation from Onimai Tsuji no Miserable]
On the way down the mountain, Genichiro's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately withdrew from the wolf's basic ninja knowledge training.
[Oni Dance Tsuji is not miserable? 】
[This is the name of the ghost king, right?] 】
[Did he know about killing Drowning Ji so quickly? 】
[However, why did he provide such a little prestige? 】
He couldn't have imagined that because of the relationship between Ashina and the phantom, it only made Onimai Tsuji think of his name for a moment.
The matter of killing Drowning Hime, Onimai Tsuji no miserable did not contact him at all. After all, when Drowning Ji died, the eye facing him happened to be blinded by Tie Zhaolei, and there was no figure of him and Immortal Chuan in it at all.
Otherwise, the reputation will be more than 1000 points.
Butterfly Chanae saw Genichiro raise his head from the back of the members of the Hidden Army, and immediately asked, "Genichiro, what's wrong?" If you feel uncomfortable, say so. ”
"Hmmm......"
Genichiro paused, and finally asked directly, "I remember the name of that ghost king, it's called Onimai Tsuji no miserable, right?" “
Silence began to spread through the ranks, and everyone's breath paused at the appearance of the names, except for the creaking of shoes on the snow.
"What's wrong?"
In order to ease the atmosphere, Butterfly Chanae said half-jokingly, "Don't you think this name is not good too?" Then you and Shinobu should have a common language. When you get to the butterfly house, you have to get along well. ”
She wanted to divert the conversation, after all, the name is the source of all tragedy, the enemy of most of the people present.
"No, I just want to ask," Genichiro shook his head and continued, "If we kill the Twelve Oni Moons, will Onimai Tsuji be there without misery?" ”
If anything, he'd probably have to be careful of retaliation from the other side. He didn't know how strong the Ghost King was, but he couldn't be worse than the Ring Breaker Monk and the Lion Ape.
Butterfly Chanae and Immortal Minoru glanced at each other, not expecting Genichiro to ask such a question.
"We had doubts, but we didn't know very well. After all, as long as the other ghosts want to confide in the information that they have a light with the ghost king, they will die a tragic death immediately. ”
She could only answer like this, and asked randomly curiously, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"Well, I'll change the question."
Instead of answering, Genichiro added, "Think about it, have you ever had that kind of situation before where the pillar killed the Twelve Ghost Moons, but was quickly retaliated against?" In other words, the place where the Twelve Ghost Moon was killed, there were soon traces of other powerful ghosts, as if they were trying to find out the news nearby. ”
As soon as this question came out, Butterfly Chanae was directly stunned in place, and the actions of the entire team were suspended.
She is an all-rounder who is proficient in flower arrangement, tea ceremony, piano and painting, and naturally likes to read.
And the life of each pillar of the ghost killing team is recorded in detail. She admires these great predecessors in her heart, and of course she will not give up the opportunity to learn about them through books.
This is the case as Ichiro said
- Becoming a pillar and then being killed very quickly has indeed happened, and it is not uncommon.
Most of these pillars died tragically for no reason shortly after they were promoted, as if they had met the legendary winding ghost by very coincident, and often even the complete body could not be found.
However, in the past, the ghost killing team could only be attributed to the bad luck of these pillars, that is, bad luck.
They had never linked this situation to the fact that the Ghost King might receive information through the Dead Ghost.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable if it was really the Ghost King who intended to retaliate after receiving the information, as Ichiro guessed?
"Ichiro, you're so smart. Although this speculation cannot be verified for the time being, I will explain it at the column meeting. ”
Butterfly Chanae was grateful, but also sincerely admired, "If someone like you can join the ghost killing team, then we will be able to make it much easier." ”
Although she didn't know how Ichiro had come up with this, she wasn't sure if the guess was true.
But in the future, for the safety of the team members, she will definitely advise the lord, whether it is an ordinary team member or a pillar, in the process of ghost hunting, it is best to be masked.
In this way, Onimai Tsuji no miserable will not be able to obtain information about the appearance of the team through the dead oni.
Those suspected cases of retaliation may not happen again.
"Eh, Lady Hanazu, isn't Genichiro a member of the Demon Slayer Squad?"
Murata asked puzzledly, after all, the other party was wearing the uniform of the ghost killing team, and he took the initiative to save him, and even put his arm in it.
He also thought it was because Genichiro had already considered himself a ghost hunter.
"Not yet."
Butterfly Chana smiled, "But if Ichiro has this idea, I will definitely do my best to protect you." Would you like to think about it? ”
