“……”

Genichiro blinked, and the Iron God Arm Bow in his hand disappeared instantly, as if he hadn't taken it out in the first place.

He made up his mind.

I'm sorry if this bird is still dwelling on what just happened...... I hope that when the time comes, you will be a husband and wife.

He had seen this crow, its eyes purple and shining, and its feathers as smooth and delicate as black satin.

This is supposed to be one of the crows that belong directly to Yaoya Yashiki, so what is it called......

"Ryoma?"

He tentatively called out a name.

Raven Ryoma nodded.

"It's down that I didn't expect Mr. Reeds to remember me."

Judging from the fact that it is very polite, its wisdom is probably not under the mocking pill.

After saying hello, the man and the bird did not mention what had just happened, and very tacitly forgot that an innocent female crow was almost killed.

[These two crows were inside the phantom wall from the beginning. 】

[Yaoyashiki's crow appears here...... That means -]

"I'll get straight to the point."

Ichiro asked dryly, "Does the Ghost Slayer know about the existence of the Pearl World?" ”

"Only Lord Lordship and Lady Adena know." The crow replied, "Zhu Shi is very special, and if the other team members and even Zhu know her whereabouts, it is likely to be dangerous. So even in the Demon Slayer Team, it's a secret. ”

Hearing this, Koichiro nodded approvingly.

On the one hand, he verified the conjecture that Sanyashiki had known about this for a long time.

On the other hand, the other party concealed the existence of the pearl world, which is indeed the right thing to do.

"Can you tell me what's so important about this ghost?"

Ichiro wanted to know the information about the Ghost Slayer about Zhushi first.

But then he said understandingly, "Of course, if you can't say it, I can understand it." But if that's the case, please don't stop me from going inside, and I don't have time to wait for you to fly back to the Ghost Slayer headquarters to ask for instructions, that will delay a lot of time. ”

The more Onimai Tsuji Muru and the Oni Slayer team care about this ghost, the more it shows what makes it special.

For all reasons, Genichiro wants to be in control of the other party's secrets.

The crow was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Mr. Reeda is laughing. As long as you don't hurt her, it doesn't hurt to tell you some. ”

"I try."

Ichiro nodded, but didn't make any valid promises.

"Okay. Now that you've traced it down to Zhu Shi's head, you should already know it......"

The crow's tone at this time was the same as that of Yaoya Yashiki.

"She's the only ghost in a thousand years who has completely escaped the control of Onimai Tsuji."

"Thoroughly?" Ichiro has caught the keyword.

"Yes, according to the records of the Demon Slayer Team, Onimai Tsuji Muru was severely injured by a swordsman who used the initial breathing method, and many oni took the opportunity to break free from his restraint and began to act on their own."

The crow paused.

But as Onimai Tsuji gradually recovered, most of these demons were found and killed by him. Only Zhu Shi, who used to be a doctor, transformed his body in time and completely severed his blood connection with Onimai Tsuji. ”

"Although she herself is not aware of this, our ghost slayer team has not given up monitoring her, and has not stopped for a day."

"After transforming her body, she no longer needs to eat people, but can survive by drinking a small amount of blood, and the origin of the blood is also very regular, and she has never forced others."

Hearing this, Genichiro was not surprised, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this female ghost he hadn't met yet.

He also has the transformed ghost king's blood, but it was given to him by the system, and it is almost the same as saying that it is a godsend.

But this female ghost has completely relied on her own ability to gain freedom.

The degree of its wisdom can be seen.

And this also explains the reason why Onimai Tsuji had to kill her - if she can transform herself to get out of control, why can't the other ghosts?

No wonder that guy would wishfully assume that the ghost who blamed him was Zhu Shi.

At this time, the crow continued: "In short, the existence of the pearl world has allowed the lords of the past dynasties to see another possibility to solve the ghost dance Tsuji and the ghost harm. Of course, this possibility is not ripe, but it is better than no ......"

"So, we've been secretly protecting and monitoring her to make sure no one is going to disturb her research."

Until you show up here.

Of course, this was not said by the crow.

"I see."

Koichiro nodded and began to ponder.

The long silence made the crow Ryoma a little uneasy, and he didn't know much about Ichiro's temperament, and thought that this little ghost was struggling with whether to kill Zhu Shi.

After all, this little imp is a friend of the Wind Pillar!

However, what Genichiro is thinking about is how to play the true role of the pearl world-

In fact, it's very simple to think about it, of course, to ask (catch) her to go back, and go to research with the sick leaves, butterfly ninja and owls.

But the problem is, the research is led by Butterfly Shinobi, but with that girl's character, I'm afraid she won't cooperate with ghosts, and the sick leaf is still wearing a hidden identity like a leper......

However, these are not the main problems.

The important thing is whether this ghost is willing to go back with him.

If she agrees, then it's easy to say anything, it's a big deal to let Butterfly Shinobu study separately from her, and the ghost doesn't have to sleep at night anyway.

Thinking of this, Genichiro walked towards the gate without saying a word.

"Mr. Ashina!"

The crow was a little unsure of his plans.

"As long as she doesn't do anything to me, I won't kill her." Ichiro didn't look back and said, "You guys go ahead and hide, don't expose it." ”

There is no way.

The crow, named Ryoma, could only find his wife in trepidation and let her fly back at full speed to report to the maternity house, while he stayed here and listened carefully to the movements inside and outside the house.

As you can imagine......

The moment there was a knock on the door, the metal syringe in Zhu Shi's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and a fear that he hadn't felt for many years suddenly came to his heart.

And Yu Shi next to him stood up in shock: "Lord Zhushi, we have been discovered!" ”

He moved so loudly that the dying patients opened their eyes in a daze, but immediately closed them again.

"Speak quiet."

Although Zhu Shi frowned, he did not panic, but thought about who the person who knocked on the door might be.

"Lord Zhushi, you can't stay here any longer! It must have been Onimai Tsuji no miserable to find it, and humans can't find out that this is an illusion. ”

Yushiro pulled out a piece of talisman paper.

"I'm going to attract their attention, you stick to my talisman and run away incognito!"

As he spoke, he looked like he was going to leave his last words.

"It has to be fast, or else...... Otherwise, if I am killed, the rune paper will be invalid. ”

Seeing that Zhu Shi was still sitting quietly, Yushiro was about to cry.

"Calm down."

Zhu Shi shook his head, "If the other party is Onimai Tsuji, will he knock on the door to give me a chance to escape?" ”

In fact, if Onimai Tsuji was not miserable, he might not even dare to face her in person-

Unless she's sure she doesn't have any secret weapons on her hands.

"Isn't it Onimai Tsuji?" It was Yushiro's turn to be surprised, "But only ghosts can find out here." ”

"Maybe it's a drunken man who gets dazed, but it doesn't have to be ......"

Zhu Shi first injected the patient with the medicine quietly, and then slowly got up.

"Let's go, there are still patients here who have not recovered. We can't just walk away and see who's opening the door. ”

"Lord Zhushi." Yushiro stopped her and said seriously, "Let me open the door." ”

Zhu Shi was stunned for a moment, his misty eyes suddenly narrowed, and he smiled lightly at Yushiro.

"Then I'm bothering you."

The moment Yushiro turned his head, his face was covered with a layer of redness, so that he forgot that he was afraid on the way to open the door.

But when he reached the door, he shouted in an impatient tone, "Who? Knocking on someone's door so late, do you want to sleep?! ”

After a brief silence, a voice surprisingly young came in.

"Do you dare to open the door when I come during the day?"

Zhu Shi and Yushiro glanced at each other and confirmed each other-

I'm afraid that the other party is not a drunk, and he didn't stumble upon this house, but he knew that they were ghosts!

Plus the voice is so young...... Could it be the Ghost Slayer?

"In Shimorei Kanichiro."

The voice outside sounded again, "Miss Zhushi has something important to discuss, please open the door and talk about it." ”

"Ashina?"

The two ghosts in the house felt the name somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, it occurred to Zhu Shi that the group of monks at Sensoji Temple with strange herbs had come from a place called Ashina.

She had never seen a magical herb that glowed in the moonlight, let alone a terrifying healing effect that was exaggerated to the point of being unreal—and even a ghost could be used!

Reed! Yes, that's the name.

"Yushiro, please come in."

Zhu Shi commanded, "Don't neglect etiquette. ”

Yushiro has always been obedient to Zhu Shi, and when he saw that she had made up his mind, he squeezed out a cold face to entertain the patient and unscrewed the doorknob.

A long-haired boy about as tall as he was, with a calm temperament and deep eyes, stood outside the door, an ivory tunic covered with a crimson feather weave inlaid with gold thread, and painted with a bluegrass motif (the family crest of the reed's name).

Judging from his eyes, this strange boy seems to have experience in his twenties and thirties; But looking at the figure, he looks like a normal teenager of fifteen or sixteen; But if you only look at it from your face, you think that he is only eleven or twelve years old. Coupled with the immature voice that obviously hasn't changed yet, it gives Yushiro a very chaotic feeling.

But...... It seems to be a little handsome.

Yushiro suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was a little sour, and if it dripped on the ground, it would definitely melt a large hole in the wooden floor.

And when Genichiro saw the vertical pupils in Yushiro's cyan iris, he immediately knew that this kid was also a ghost.

[Could it be another ghost who got rid of Onimai Tsuji's miserable? 】

He thought so.

Yushiro poked his head out and looked carefully outside the door, and asked with a suspicious face, "Just you?" ”

Knowing that they are ghosts, they don't even bring a Japanese wheel knife, and they don't smell of wisteria flowers on their bodies? Just like that, you dare to take the initiative to come to the door?

Aren't you afraid of being eaten?

But looking at his temperament, he doesn't look like a fool, right?

Stringichiro spread his hands and said fearlessly, "Are you going to hurt me?"

However, Koichiro is not clear about this.

Just kidding, who is he? How could it be possible to be alone in danger, after all, this time you have to face a ghost who is about the same age as one of the upper strings.

Although the ghost slayer team said that she doesn't eat people, she can't live for so long, and she must not be weak.

The three Demon Reed Celebrity Warriors and the three Demon Warriors had already been ambushed aside, but they just didn't show up.

The Gatling and the two bound weapons in the shadows are also ready to be refilled, ready to be summoned at any time.

But if these two ghosts give Genichiro a reason to do it, then they will slaughter the pearl world themselves, and then use the immortal slash to summon her out of the hallway.

It's just that in that case, it will take more time, and in the confession, the transformation of the ghost of the Ringing Pillar has not yet been completed.

So, just do it, that's his last resort.

However, as he chuckled and said the words just now, even Yushiro's expression as he looked at him showed a hint of softness (although only for a moment), and he felt the warmth of being understood and acknowledged.

And Zhu Shi also slowly walked out from behind the porch at this time, saluting slightly to Xian Ichiro, and his every move revealed an elegant and noble temperament.

"In that case, we will never fail to live up to your trust."

When he saw Zhu Shi's beautiful face, even Genichiro, a person who was never distracted by external objects, couldn't help but be stunned.

Because the other party, whether in appearance or temperament, is very similar to the teenager - that is, Yongzhen, who was responsible for taking care of his daily life when he was injured in his cultivation of Ba Zhilei.

But in all fairness, maybe it's because Zhu Shi is a ghost...... She's so beautiful, a little unreal.

But under a closer look, Genichiro gradually saw an unforgettable viciousness brewing in the depths of that hazy and dreamy pupils, accompanied by monstrous anger that could not be resolved!

Perhaps because of the precipitation of time, the hatred in the heart of this seemingly harmless female ghost is much deeper and stronger than that of butterfly ninja.

However, it was the hidden danger of the other party that made Koichiro react before Yushiro yelled at him and looked away from Zhu Shi's face.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

Ichiro returned the salute and apologized, "Miss Zhushi's appearance is very similar to a friend of mine. ”

"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yushiro was even more dissatisfied, "If you add up and fuse the dots of all women in the world, it's not as good as what you want to do!" How could you have such a friend, you must be bragging! It's a big ......."

"Yu, Shi, Lang!"

"Yes."

Yushiro's mouth immediately stopped outing.

"Please go make tea for the guests."

"Yes."

Yushiro agreed, turned around and made a threatening gesture to Koichiro, and then left honestly.

"I'm sorry, Yushiro's temper is a little weird, and he didn't mean to offend."

Zhu Shi showed a subtle smile that only a parent of a troubled teenager would have, "Please sit down in the living room and talk." ”

After the two sat down across the low table, Zhu Shi was the first to speak.

"Before you say what you mean, I'd like to ask you two questions, okay?"

"Please."

"Before, in the dock area, Yushiro and I sensed that someone was following ......"

"That's our ninja from Ashina, and I heard that someone in the docks was buying and selling blood, so I kept investigating in secret, and I didn't find out about the existence of the two until not long ago."

Ichiro didn't say that he sent someone to find her, so that would expose his "special" connection with Onimai Tsuji, and it would easily arouse the other party's vigilance.

"I see, it seems that we are still acting too boldly."

Zhu Shi relieved himself a little, at least he didn't have to worry about someone else taking the initiative to come to the door again.

"Second question."

As she spoke, she put her hands under the table without a trace.

"Can you please tell me, why, I smell a ghost on you?"

Yushiro's steps into the room with the tray suddenly stopped, and Ichiro couldn't help but shrink his eyes, not knowing how to answer for a while.

However, in places where Genichiro can't see, such as directly below the low table......

At some point, a wound was cut on Zhu Shi's wrist, and beads of blood fell to the floor.

At the same time, a faint fragrance that could not be detected was constantly climbing upwards, surging towards Genichiro's face.
