Ghost Slayer Headquarters.

The crows of the butterfly ninja leave at 10 o'clock in the morning and deliver the reply after lunchtime.

Right now, Butterfly Chanae is working with the team to deal with the ruins after last night's leaderless wreathing.

That is to say, most Japanese-style houses are made of wooden paper paste, and the cost is not high, otherwise the construction loss alone is enough to make the ghost killer team break their muscles and bones.

The scale of the collapse of the entire headquarters, including the small courtyard to the west and the surrounding houses, overnight has exceeded one-sixth of the total area of the construction house.

At first glance, I thought it was an earthquake.

After the crow arrived, Butterfly Chanae took off the paper roll, opened it and looked at it, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"As expected, that kid really won't let go of the opportunity to rob while the fire is hot."

After saying hello to the team members next to her, she walked towards the main hall where the lord was.

"It seems that the lord is going to worry about it again."

On one side is the oath made hundreds of years ago, and on the other side is the safety of the ghost killing team.

How to choose can only depend on the lord's own will.

When Butterfly Chanae entered the main hall, she found that the lord and Mrs. Tianyin were sitting by the small desk, frowning slightly, as if they were worried about something.

It is too rare to see the lord who has always been calm and breezy showing such a look. But when you think about it, he's just a kid under 20 years old.

After discovering that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Butterfly Chanae hurriedly asked, "Lord, is there something else?" ”

Other things, of course, refer to things other than headlessness.

A hint of helplessness appeared on the lord's face.

"Sit down. Both things are related to the police. ”

The butterfly sat down on her knees and listened in silence.

Ironically, the Japanese police have always been the biggest obstacle on the way to kill ghosts.

Even if the police know that there is such a thing as a ghost that endangers the lives of ordinary people, they will accept bribes to facilitate the ghost killing squad – unless the victim is an important player in the media attention.

Butterfly Shinobu often sighed to her:

It's obviously for the people to eliminate harm, but the ghost killing team begged them to do this, which is really ridiculous.

"The first thing is that the police on Kumamoto's side informed us that something similar to headless appeared in Shinjoizumi Village last night, with a transparent body and a demon-like appearance, and the number is unknown."

Butterfly Chanae covered her mouth in surprise.

Yaoya held out his finger and tapped it on the telegram.

"The monsters have been jumping up and down on the rooftops of the villagers all night, and they have also targeted several hot spring inns to intimidate. One of them, the owner of an inn, couldn't stand it anymore and hanged himself, and his family was heartbroken and almost insane, much the same situation as Sansuke's family. ”

In the early morning, after the leaderless disappeared, the Ghost Slayer found the Yamasuke family who were still alive from the ruins of the house.

Except for the drunkard's father, who escaped because he was drunk and unconscious, and was still able to talk, Mrs. Tamako and Shansuke's mother and son were already a little crazy, and they were startled at the slightest movement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the rumors are all soldiers.

It wasn't until the morning that Butterfly Chanae gave the two a sedative that they were put to sleep.

"But this has never happened before......"

Butterfly Chanae was a little puzzled, since the ghost killing team had records, she had never heard of a resentful soul asking for her life.

And the situation in Xinshangquan Village is even worse than here, there are multiple grievances, not to mention, there are still people who die because of this!

"Since we're not ghosts, we can't care about what's going on there."

Lady Amane comforted.

"There should be other people in Xinshangquan Village who are involved in the murder of tourists, so they will be haunted by resentment, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"And that's just the first thing."

After a brief silence, Yaoya sighed and shook his head, taking out another telegram pressed underneath, "And this second thing is even more worrying. ”

"This is a message from Mr. Tanaka, the Tokyo Police Inspector who has been working with us."

He slowly pushed the telegram towards Butterfly Chane, his tone was extremely solemn, and his usual calm appearance was long gone.

Also yesterday, after receiving a stern reprimand from the Minister of War of the Cabinet, the Tokyo Inspector General of Metropolitan Police asked the national police to strengthen the enforcement of the "knife ban". He also pointed out that there is a group of violent organizations in black uniforms that attempt to impersonate police officers and use ghosts to spread remarks that are not conducive to social stability. Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department requires civilians to report such suspicious characters immediately when they encounter them, and if civilians are found to be cooperating with these suspicious figures, or even taking the initiative to receive them, they will be held accountable. ”

Yaoya paused for a moment.

"Last night alone, nine members of the team in Tokyo have been arrested, and it seems that they are serious."

Butterfly Chanae picked up the telegram in disbelief and read it carefully, smiling no more.

This so-called violent organization, naturally, is their ghost killing team.

"They, how can they do that?"

With such a statement issued by the Metropolitan Police Department, didn't the Ghost Killing Team suddenly become a villain organization that was worse than the underworld?

In the past, the government was reluctant to support them in killing ghosts, but now the Tokyo police are trying to weaken their ties with the people.

This is specifically aimed at at all!

"Could it be that the top cabinet officials have actually united with ghosts?"

After experiencing the incident in Shinkaizumi Village, Butterfly Chanae felt that this kind of thing was not impossible.

After all, since ghosts can create hot springs to create economic benefits for a village, it seems reasonable to act as killers and tools under the hands of big people.

"It's not clear yet."

Yaoya shook her head helplessly, "I can only prepare for the worst. “

As he spoke, he said solemnly: "But no matter what the situation is, our ghost slayer team has reached the most critical moment in hundreds of years. ”

Being targeted by ghosts, that's a matter of course, and they've been doing so much for so many years.

But being targeted by the government, in the face of a regular army with guns and cannons, how should the ghost killing team face it? Can you block bullets with a knife, but can you still block shells?

Besides, this was instructed by the Minister of War and ordered by the Superintendent of Police himself, and he gave birth to Yashiki Yaoya, and he didn't even have the opportunity to bribe the police.

Naturally, he wouldn't have thought of it.

The dignified ghost king is not miserable, and because of the death of a string, he will be frightened into his soul, and suddenly become the daughter-in-law of the Minister of War with peace of mind.

Cracking down on an irregular organization that is not recognized by the government is not the meaning of her father-in-law's words, and she doesn't even need to put a bill in the Diet.

"Lady Tone."

Butterfly Chanae had never seen the lord so helpless, and moved her hopeful gaze to the lady who had the blood of a priest.

"Can you help from home?"

"This is a different time, and no one listens to what the priest says."

Mrs. Tianyin smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid all my father can do is to inquire about the news." ”

“……”

Butterfly Chanae opened her mouth, but was silent after all.

"We have to think slowly, but we have to do what we need to do."

Seeing the pillar under his hand showing such a look, Yaoya Sanyashiki also had to cheer up.

Although he is powerless, he is the spiritual leader of the entire Ghost Slayer Team, and if even he gives up, the hearts of the people will be scattered.

"However, the players in the big city must be withdrawn first. Once they are caught by the police, I am afraid that it is not a matter that money can solve. ”

Sanyashiki said, "Before the matter is clear, let's let the team members below the first class go and clean up the ghosts in the mountain village." As for the ghosts in the big city, they can only be dealt with by the pillars and higher-level team members in casual clothes. ”

Speaking of this, Yaoyashiki's eyes were red, and she bent down at the butterfly Chanae, her forehead almost touching the ground.

"I'm sorry, but I have to increase the burden on you, I am too incompetent......"

Madame Amane also knelt down and bowed to the butterfly Chanae.

"I'm so sorry."

There are only six people in the column at the moment.

With the withdrawal of ordinary team members from the big city, the workload of the column will naturally increase a lot.

Facing the police and ghosts at the same time, the danger factor is not the same.

But those people who have no power to protect themselves still need their ghost killing team to protect.

Seeing this, Butterfly Chanel hurriedly bowed as well.

"Please don't say that, the times are difficult, we can only do this, I believe everyone can understand."

The three of them maintained this position for a while before they returned to their original positions.

"I'm so lucky to have met you."

Yaoya wiped the water droplets from the corners of her eyes and said sincerely, this is a little more normal, and Butterfly Chanae also feels a little more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, Hua Zhu just came over, did Ling Mei reply to the letter?"

Although the police affairs are troublesome, the leaderless affairs are the most important.

If he is allowed to dismantle the headquarters of the Demon Slayer and expose them to the ghost's field of vision, then it will really be a critical moment of survival.

"My lord's expectation is good, Xiao Ren has already replied to me."

Butterfly Chanae now felt that compared to the operation of the police, these things written in the letter were nothing to worry about, so she said directly.

"On the side of Genichiro, there is indeed a divine object to solve resentful souls, but that thing is also very precious in the country of Reina, so he asked the ghost killing team to exchange it for the five basic breathing methods."

Speaking of this, she paused and explained according to her own thoughts, "Although he said so on the surface, according to Shinobi's guess, Shinichiro should only be interested in the breath of wind and the breath of thunder. The reason why the lion opened his mouth and said that he wanted five basic breathing methods should also give us room for bargaining. ”

After a short silence, Sanyashiki said in embarrassment, "But the matter of whether or not to teach the breathing method should have been decided by all the pillars at the Pillar Meeting......

The point is, when talking about the exchange of breathing with pills the day before, the proposal had been rejected by the Pillar Council.

Can't you call them back and open them again?

"My lord, time is pressing, and it will be too late if you don't decide."

Butterfly Chanae handed over the paper roll.

"As Ichiro has mentioned, the headless is the condensation of the samurai's desolate spirits, and the longer it stays in the human world, the less sane it becomes, and it will never give up on revenge on humanity unless it is destroyed. It didn't hurt anyone last night, but who can guarantee that it won't be tonight, tomorrow night. ”

To be honest, Butterfly Chanae didn't suspect that Ichiro would exaggerate the threat of headlessness in order to ask for breathing.

But she couldn't risk the lives of her teammates.

"I see."

Yaoya Shiki let out a sigh of relief.

It is not known how many people will be arrested in Japan, but the lives of the team members are more important than anything else.

That headless monster can make people sick with its voice, and even the three pillars are not opponents, once they go crazy, I'm afraid there will be many casualties.

Thinking of this, combined with the historical predicament faced by the Ghost Slayer Team today, Yaoya Sanyashiki did not hesitate any longer, and made a decision that violated the rules of the ancestors.

"When the Pillar Meeting discussed this matter yesterday, Minoru Kazeki Immortal and Mizuki Tomioka Yoshiyoshi did not participate. Your Flower Breath and the Sound Pillar's Sound Breath are not included in the Five Breathing Techniques, and the Rock Pillar, the Flame Pillar, and the Ming Pillar are clearly rejected. Therefore, as long as the wind or water is willing to teach the breathing method to Ashina Koichiro, and promises that he will not use the breathing method to kill people, I will agree to this exchange. ”

Although in terms of process, this is a violation of the rules of the ghost slayer team since ancient times.

But as long as there is a concession on the principle of "killing people without breathing", Yaoya Sanyashiki is acceptable.

After all, at this point where the situation is unclear, the Demon Slayer desperately needs allies.

And Reed's name, who can come up with all kinds of magical items, is the best choice.

"There is absolutely no problem with Mr. Immortal Chuan's side."

Butterfly Chanae felt that the white-haired hedgehog should be eager to do this.

"Then I'll go to him to confirm, and I'll reply to Xiao Ren and exchange the breath of the wind for that artifact, what do you think, lord?"

"Just do it."

Yaoya nodded.

"In any case, please let the kid bring that artifact as soon as possible."

"Yes."

……

Meanwhile.

Butterfly Shinobu and Ichiro also had lunch at Daisuke Hirayama's place, and they were going to take their official leave.

"I told them the news that this road was open in the morning, and the children were very grateful."

Uncle Hirayama dug into his pocket again and took out a crystal clear blue bead, which shone in the sun, and was by no means an ordinary ornament.

Genichiro looked at it, this was not the last Buddha bead he was missing, what was it?

When he killed the lower string four, he harvested two beads.

In the draw, he received another Buddhist bead.

With the addition of this one, he can form the rosary of One.

However, he didn't know what the specific effect of this bead would be.

"They haven't paid their salaries this month, and they don't have anything to repay you."

The old man handed the bead over, "One of the children gave it to me and asked me to pass it on to you, saying that I would like you to keep it as a souvenir." ”

Seeing that Butterfly Shinobu seemed to want to refuse, he hurriedly added: "I promised them that they would definitely hand it over to you, but don't let me break my promise." ”

Butterfly Ren had no choice but to nod in embarrassment: "Then I'll take it." ”

As she spoke, she bowed to the old man, "Grandpa Hirayama, then I'll take my leave." ”

"If you find any traces of ghosts in the future, even if you have only the slightest suspicion, please contact us in time."

The old man's face was grim: "To be honest, I'm a lot older, and I really don't want to meet ghosts again." ”

Butterfly Shinobu looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I lost my words!" ”

"Hahaha, I'm kidding you! I remember what you said. ”

The old man smiled instantly, "Let's go, let's go." May you prosper in your martial arts. ”

In this way, Genichiro and Butterfly Shinobu embarked on their return journey.

Along the way, Butterfly Shinobu took the bead and turned it over and over, not knowing what it was made of.

Ichiro asked, "Miss Shinobu, is this the first time you've received a thank you gift?"

Butterfly Shinobu shook his head: "No."

As she spoke, she handed the beads to Koichiro.

"It's the first time for you, so I'll give it to you, remember to keep it, after all, it's someone else's intention."

Ichiro prepared a lot of words that wanted to take the Buddha beads and was instantly stillborn, and looked at the butterfly ninja in a daze, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to get it.

Butterfly Shinobu raised her eyebrows, "Why, if you don't want it, I'll put it away." ”

"Then thank you, Miss Shinobu."

Ichiro took the beads, and the system immediately sent a reminder.

[Detects whether or not to synthesize a rosary that meets the conditions for synthesizing one.] 】

[Synthesis.] 】

Ichiro thought silently in his heart.

In the next second, a force instantly filled his limbs.
