Chapter 147: Today's Headlines
Just glanced at the headlines in the newspaper a few times, Butterfly Chanae couldn't help but look sad, and immediately sent three little ones to call someone over to discuss the matter.
The others arrived almost immediately, but Minoru Immortal and Yoshiyuki Tomioka were the last to appear, and the two entered Butterfly Chane's room one after the other, and their faces were not very good-looking.
Kurou was surprised to find that he hadn't seen him for half an hour, and the other eye of the immortal Minoru was somehow covered with blue and black.
He subconsciously glanced at the butterfly shinobi on the other side of the table-
No, Sister Ninja has been in my sight since just now!
It couldn't have been her hand.
Don't......
He looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was following behind him, and noticed that the latter's clothes were a little messy, with traces of tearing.
Coupled with this new black green, the area is not small.
Could it be that Brother Yi Yong did it?
Jiurou had a guess in an instant.
As for the butterfly, Shinobu saw the immortal Minoru Kawa's raccoon-like appearance, and laughed gloatingly.
But as soon as he looked down and saw the newspaper headlines on the desktop, he quickly restrained his blooming expression.
"Hey, Minoru, what's going on with your face?"
Kuano Kuang was taken aback, he slept in the hospital room yesterday, and only now did he see the immortal river again.
"I don't remember you being the only one who wasn't hurt yesterday, why did you look like this?"
It can't be that last night's questioning didn't go well, and he did some excesses in a fit of anger, and was beaten like this by Huazhu.
However, when Masashi Kanno looked closely at the butterfly Chanae, the latter also wondered about the origin of this second dark circle.
"You guy is nosy, let's get down to business."
The immortal Minoru Kawa Panda's incense-like slits revealed an indescribable annoyance in his eyes.
But from his tone, you can hear that he seems to be a little ashamed to mention the cause and effect of this matter.
With that, he forced himself to sit down between Ichiro and Kuro, and used Kuro to separate himself from Tomioka.
"Huh?"
Masashi Aono keenly saw some clues, and immediately looked at Tomioka Yoshiyu, who had a calm face and a face full of irrelevance to me.
"You can't do it again."
Tomioka was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly spoke flatly.
"He stole my fish soup."
Except for Hanazhu and Kuro, who were most familiar with him, everyone else couldn't help but look at him sideways when they heard this.
Since when did being robbed of food in the Ghost Slayer be a reason to beat up a companion?
As a man, he is still the most important pillar, is his heart a little too small.
And the immortal Minoru Kawa, why do you want to steal and eat other people's things somehow.
Ichiro glanced at Kuro, his eyes full of surprise.
"You just praised him to me. 】
Jiurou had no choice but to pull out a smile and explain for Yiyong quite reluctantly: "Brother, don't you know, that fish soup has a special meaning to Brother Yiyong, and it was made by Miss Chanai with the recipe left by Brother Yiyong's sisters. ”
“…… I see. ”
Ichiro nodded in understanding.
But he remembered one thing.
Obviously, Jiulang has only been with this guy for more than ten days, so he used such a street and intimate title as "big brother".
On the contrary, the word "brother" seems distant and cold.
Suddenly, somehow he looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki with some displeasure, and his fingers unconsciously bounced around on the table.
"Alright, Mr. Righteous and Immortal...... There should be some misunderstanding between Shimi, and then we will solve it in private. ”
Butterfly Chanae frowned a little helplessly, "The most urgent problem now is these newspapers. ”
"Take a look."
She spread out a dozen newspapers in the middle of the table, and the exaggerated headlines and accompanying pictures immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"The green fire in Momoyama, the riot in Arakawa, and the rampant monsters in Kanda Ward, how should the cabinet give an explanation to the country?" 》
"One hundred and thirty people died tragically overnight, and the bloody accusation of the cruel murderer was left at the scene - "death to the liar""
"We sincerely apologize for the previous false report about the aristocracy hiring knife testers"
"The Descendants of the Fallen Pioneers Collectively Hired Knife Testers to Attack Civilians: Testimony from the Descendants of the Employed Yamada Asaemon
"The Embassies of Britain, the United States, Germany, Russia and Other Powers Were Attacked by Monsters, Killing and Injuring a Total of 39 Foreign Officials, Japan Fears International Disputes"
"Within the three-day period, please hire a knife tester and refuse to admit it to come to our office quickly to apologize"
"Twelve police stations and two prison walls were violently breached, 35 prisoners died tragically in prison, and 3 death row inmates were missing or had escaped"
"The French Embassy Survived with a White Flag"
"Our Reputation Guarantees: Ghosts Are Not Legends, but Bloody Reality"
"The Arakawa Explosion Arsenal is also among them, and a large number of weapons and ammunition have been stolen, suspected to be related to monsters"
"Hundreds of thousands of people saw it with their own eyes: the monstrous green flame of Momoyama was extinguished in an instant, what did the cabinet hide? 》
"Two monsters confide in their origins: suspected descendants of Yamada Asaemon, happy to be ghosts"
"Dozens of factory machines exploded, 100,000 workers have nowhere to go, and it may become a huge safety hazard"
Except for Genichiro, who had long known the general situation (or even the initiator), the rest of them were taken aback by the bold and enlarged bold letters in the newspaper.
While they were scrutinizing the details of the report, Ichiro took the Tokyo Daily News and looked at the manga and the confectionery shop advertisements in the back.
The attack on the nobles of the shogunate, the embassies of the great powers, and the newspaper office that had hired the sword tester was naturally carried out by Yamada and another ghost.
As for why the two of them specially let the French embassy go, Genichiro didn't know the inside story.
But as long as the matter involves the great powers, then this time the cabinet will not be able to make a big deal small, which is why he let these two ghosts attack the embassy.
Since he has decided to help the Ghost Slayer solve the problem of the cabinet blocking the road, he will definitely spare no effort to do it.
And the best way to get the current cabinet out of office as soon as possible is to make them the target of public criticism.
Regardless of the fact that Japan was about to annex Korea and officially become a great power, in fact, it still did not recover from the war with Russia.
What's more, because of the last incident of the murder of polar bears in the zoo, there is also strong hostility between Japan and Germany.
Now that the embassy has been attacked, these countries will only connect the old and new hatreds, and settle all the accounts on the Japanese government.
In order to absolve himself of responsibility and avoid international humiliation for Emperor Meiji, the cabinet had no other option but to resign en masse.
Of course, these are just accessories, and the most important purpose of Genichiro's plan is to directly expose the existence of "ghosts", so that Onimai Tsuji will face the situation of being an enemy in the world.
Even in several of the reports, the name of Onimai Tsuji appeared directly on it.
And he, the ghost king, is naturally responsible for all the people who died last night.
In particular, the nobles who hired sword testers were almost all the fallen heroes of the Nagasa and the sons and grandsons of entrepreneurs, and they were led astray by their obsession with the samurai sword and bushido.
Even if the cabinet is changed, the power will still be held by these soldiers and businessmen from Changsa......
And after experiencing this kind of thing, they will only have no bitter hatred for Onimai Tsuji.
In this way, the Japanese government will join the persecution of ghosts, and it is almost just around the corner.
……
A few minutes later, Minoru Immortal was the first to express his thoughts.
"Is Onimai Tsuji no miserable crazy, or is there something wrong with him and he can't control his ghosts anymore?"
He looked suspiciously at Chanae, a butterfly who was well versed in the history of the Demon Slayer.
"Doesn't that mean that he would never let his demons do it to those in power?"
Obviously, this guy just evacuated the ghosts in Tokyo before, and he personally slaughtered the police, provoking the relationship between the ghost killing team and the cabinet, no matter how you look at it, he wants to hide his existence instead of exposing it.
Especially since that guy just sent one of the strings to extinguish the mouths of the seventeen soldiers yesterday......
Why is the name of his ghost ancestor in the newspaper today?
It just feels ......
It's as if his demons deliberately wanted to expose him to the world.
Not to mention the immortal Minoru Chuan, even the smart butterfly Chanae is at a loss, and she can't figure out the reason why Onimai Tsuji Muru did this.
"And the fact that the leader of this knife tester organization has become a ghost."
Butterfly Shinobu also found the clue, and looked at Genichiro with a verifying gaze, "I remember, this descendant of Yamada Asaemon should be the guy who led the attack on us last time, right?" ”
Genichiro nodded: "It's him." ”
"What attack?"
Butterfly Chanae asked.
Butterfly Shinobu immediately told him about the attack of the knife tester who went to the Arakawa trail with Ichiro Chord before.
Including the fact that she and Ichiro beat the three Yamada to death in the mountains, hoping that they would be frozen to death.
"It seems that they should have been discovered by Onimai Tsuji Muru before they died and turned into ghosts."
Kuano Kuashi guessed closely, "In this way, Xiao Shinobi, you should have passed by the ghost dance Tsuji, it's really hanging." ”
"Damn!"
Butterfly Shinobu didn't think he was lucky, and his petite fist slammed on the table, "I knew this would happen, I should have killed them in the first place!" ”
In her opinion, it was her fault that so many people died because of that ghost.
"Okay, little ninja, now is not the time to blame yourself, this kind of thing will happen, no one can imagine it."
Butterfly Chanae quickly comforted her sister, although she did not agree with Butterfly Shinobi's practice of leaving those executioners in the snow to die, but now was not the time to talk about this.
"According to the newspapers that have been warned by the demons themselves, they will give the descendants of the nobles and samurai who refuse to admit to hiring the sword-testers three days to publish their apologies in the newspapers and ask for forgiveness for framing them as sword-stealers."
Butterfly Chanae took out the newspapers with a tone and a relatively low attitude. Even this cover is the only content of these newspapers today.
"They also said that if one employer didn't apologize, then everyone else would die."
Everyone couldn't help but frown.
The rampant nature of these two ghosts is simply unprecedented, almost unimaginable.
"Although I don't want to think of people in bad terms."
Butterfly Chanae paused, "But among these people, there must be people who are unwilling to confess their crimes, thinking that they will be lucky to escape." ”
"We must contact the Lord and prepare in case these two ghosts attack the humans again in three days."
"I just don't know if the cabinet is willing to accept our help this time."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Ha, is it only me who thinks these two ghosts have done a good thing?"
Immortal Minoru said suddenly, "What's the difference between those scum who hired knife testers and garbage like ghosts?" ”
"At least ghosts kill people to survive and eat, but these people don't take human life seriously at all, is it necessary for such people to save them?"
"Besides, aren't these desperately sorry newspapers also covering up for this garbage?"
"Now that I'm approached by someone, I know that I'm afraid, and it's not too funny."
"I don't think I need to worry about them, just let them suffer the consequences."
Thinking of the recent framing and suppression of the ghost killing team, he has no place to spread his anger.
"Besides, aren't the people of the army and the police very competent? Let them protect these people!"
After saying that, he folded his arms and closed his eyes, and said no more.
After all, he could guess that Butterfly Chanae would definitely not agree with his words.
However, this time, Hua Zhu did not refute him with a big reason, but was silent for a while before making a decision.
"I'm afraid this matter will have to be decided by the lord."
"I'm worried that Onimai Tsuji Muru will make such a big deal out of it......"
"It's likely to be another trap to lure the Ghost Slayer to the door."
"We have to wait for the government officials to discuss the specifics before we consider whether to get involved."
Everyone had no objection and nodded one after another.
"The last thing is that the three prisoners, who are said to be about to be executed, have been kidnapped by demons for no apparent reason."
She pointed to the report.
"What the hell is going on? What is the purpose of the ghost kidnapping these three death row prisoners? ”
……
Meanwhile.
In the hallucinatory corridor, Ti, who had been resurrected by the Black Immortal, was standing on a huge maple tree in the center, and three humans wearing death row uniforms hung upside down in front of him.
Two of them are males and one is female.
Their mouths were sewn up, and the strong spider silk bound their bodies, even into their skin, and blood continued to swirl down the spider silk, slowly entering the dense silk chrysalis like a line of red ants.
It was the vessel used to collect the thin blood.
It wasn't the two ghosts who went to rob the prison last night, it was him.
Going to the prison to find three thin-blooded humans to get blood is the first task that Genichiro gives him.
After all, always using his own or Immortal River's blood as an ingredient always makes Genichiro feel a little weird.
"Stop struggling."
At this time, the tiredness has been reborn, and all contact with Onimai Tsuji is broken, just like those lonely shadows who have been set up with general free will, completely loyal to Genichiro, and the numbers in his eyes have long since disappeared.
"What a commendable mercy a thousand kilograms of thin blood for your life."
He crouched down and gently stroked the two men's hair.
Two of the murderers were brothers, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess them.
And the slightly older woman had long since given up resistance.
They have been tortured for hours, and every time their blood is drained to death, they are resurrected at the entrance to this strange structure.
But they can't even resist, they will be re-grasped by the spider silk, looking at the blood on their bodies again and again, and being led into the cocoon over there by the thin thread that is harder than steel.
It was a terrible sight, not only to watch myself die, but also to endure the vision, nausea, and despair of blood loss.
They would rather be shot than suffer such mental torture.
"When your mission is complete, I will ask Genichiro to make you my family."
"You two are my brothers, and as for you, come and be my mother." “
"As for my father, I've already chosen him, he's a foreigner in armor, and he's up to the task of protecting us."
Just as he was imagining a better family life in the future, he heard the door between confessions being opened.
"Didn't the brother and sister just get locked in?"
Tired of stepping on the spider silk, he slowly walked over there, his heart full of doubts.
"How can it be so fast...... It's only been half a day, hasn't it? ”
He was in there, but he was washed by the water for fifteen days.
At this time, the monk in charge of managing the illusion gallery was walking over with a confused face.
Seeing the tiredness in his eyes full of confusion, the monk was silent for a moment before speaking.
"This benefactor ...... The six roots are relatively clean, and the heart is dust-free, so it is easier to measure. ”
"Oh."
Tired suddenly understood what the monk meant, so he turned around and left.
Originally, he also wanted to make this female ghost a family member.
But he didn't want to be a brother and sister with a fool.
