Chapter 172: The Nest Appears
After lunch, Butterfly Chanae stood on the edge of the pond feeding the fish until a butterfly caught her attention.
The butterfly rested on the eaves closest to Chanae, and its beautiful blue-purple wings flapped gently shone like rare glass in the sunlight, and it was hard not to care.
Just when the butterfly Chanae was looking at the butterfly,
The butterfly seemed to be watching her, too.
The flower pillar seemed to feel a strong gaze, and it was not hostile.
"Eh, this season...... Will there be butterflies? β
Her translucent eyes blinked, which were filled with appreciation and curiosity about the beautiful life, "And the color of this butterfly really looks like Shinobi's hairpin......"
As soon as she finished speaking, the butterfly took off and "glided" towards Chanae at a very fast speed, completely losing the appearance of a butterfly.
The illusion fails, and the purple butterfly disappears, replaced by a butterfly shinobi that suddenly appears.
She jumped out of the air like a giant caterpillar and wrapped her arms around her sister's neck.
"Little Shinobi?!"
This change took Chanae by surprise.
If it weren't for the sun, she would have thought she had seen a ghost.
"I didn't think it was me! Sister. β
"Come down, let the team see that they'll laugh at you."
"I'll see who dares." Saying that, Butterfly Shinobu still slackened his strength.
Chana Hui first pulled off the "parasite" on her body, and then asked curiously: "Xiao Shinobi, was it ...... just now?"
"That's the illusion that Teacher Adie taught me."
Like a toy child, Butterfly Shinobu slipped two slender kunai out of his sleeve and controlled the thin tips to collide suddenly, making an imperceptible sound in the air.
Immediately after, in the eyes of Butterfly Chanahui, Butterfly Shinobu turned into a butterfly again.
But Chanae tentatively reached forward, but she touched the real person, and the illusion failed again.
"I see."
Butterfly Chanae suddenly put her mind at ease, for fear that something had happened to her sister, just like the ghost of Genichiro before.
"This illusion is not known yet, in addition to using sound as a starting medium, taste can also be used, and the effect is even better. It's just that in that case, you can't use it on people, otherwise it will hurt people's brains. β
Speaking of this, Butterfly Shinobu clenched her fists excitedly.
"Sister, think about it, from now on, even if those ghosts are poked into hundreds of holes, they won't be able to see my true face at all, and they will think that they are indeed fighting a butterfly."
"It's so powerful, it seems that Xiao Ren has really become a lot more powerful this time."
Butterfly Chanae touched her sister's head dotingly, "By the way, there is leftover gimbap at noon, do you want to eat a little to cushion your stomach?" β
"Okay." Butterfly Shinobu grabbed her sister's arm again, with a happy smile on her face, "It's been a long time since I've eaten my sister's cooking, I miss it so much." β
A few minutes later, in Butterfly Chane's room, the two continued to chat for a while before talking about other things.
"Regarding the cooperation with the ghost named 'Zhushi', the results of the Zhuhe meeting have already been reached."
When Butterfly Chanae said this, she looked at her sister with some caution, and she did not continue until the latter put down the gimbap in her hand and swallowed the contents of her mouth.
"Except for Mr. Uji, who is responsible for the safety of the Imperial Palace, all the pillars were present at the meeting, and they also had contact with Miss Zhushi."
"Hmm."
Butterfly Shinobu took a sip of hot tea to cover her expression, but her tone was unexpectedly calm, "And then?" β
"In my opinion...... Miss Zhu Shi is a very wise and powerful doctor, she knows a lot of information about Onimai Tsuji, and has also developed three drugs for Onimai Tsuji's abilities. β
"If you want to kill Onimai Tsuji, these three drugs are crucial. In addition, the diaries of the previous lords can also be used as evidence, Miss Zhu Shi, at least three hundred years have not actively harmed humans. β
Butterfly Chanel paused, "Coupled with the fact that Mr. Sorrow also thinks she is trustworthy, the pillars unanimously passed a resolution to cooperate with her. β
"So, from next month, she'll be doing research with you."
The rock pillar is the savior of the two sisters, and his endorsement is particularly powerful for Butterfly Shinobi, which is why Butterfly Chanel Hui specifically mentioned his name.
But even so, she can't guarantee that she will be able to eliminate the discomfort in her sister's heart.
"That's ......"
Sure enough, hearing that the rock pillar said the same, Butterfly Shinobu nodded flatly, "Okay then, I know, I'll do it." β
Then she continued to eat gimbap without saying a word, but the wasabi was dipped in a lot more than before.
Seeing that her sister's performance was a little abnormal, Butterfly Chanae was a little worried: "Xiao Shinobi, if you have anything to mind......"
"I was angry at first, and I couldn't understand Genichiro's intentions, but Kuro had already persuaded me."
Butterfly relentlessly interrupted her sister's words, "Besides, if even that white-haired hedgehog knows that the ghost named Zhushi is indispensable, how can I not understand!" β
She puffed out her face as she spoke.
"Sister, you underestimate me too much!"
"You've really grown up."
Chanel sighed with relief, "I've been worried that you'll not be able to figure it out." β
"Not to mention Zhu Shi, I'm just working on the same topic with her, not even necessarily in a laboratory"
Butterfly Shinobu retracted his expression and suddenly became extremely serious, "Where is that white-haired hedgehog?" You can't be avoiding me on purpose, right? β
"Well...... this"
Butterfly Chanae hesitated for a moment before replying, "It was Mr. Kuwajima who took him shopping for clothes." β
"Whew-"
Hearing this, Butterfly Shinobu was almost blocked by gimbap, and his tone became surprised and inexplicable.
"Buying clothes? Would he still care about such a thing? Besides, it's just a matter of buying clothes, why should you let Kuwajima-senpai take him there? β
You know, a few months ago, this guy even felt like a waste of time in the shower!
It seems that killing ghosts is the only thing that matters.
Could it be that it's because I've established a lover relationship with my sister that I start to care about my image?
But in that case, shouldn't my sister go with him?
Why should an elderly person accompany you?
"Because, he's going to buy the kind of clothes that please the elders."
Chanae playfully covered half of her lips, "I forgot to tell you, Minoru is going to visit Uncle Saeki's house with us at night." β
"Huh?! But after all, he's still an outsider, in what capacity should he ......?"
Halfway through speaking, Butterfly Shinobi's movements froze, and his eyes fluttered wildly, "Wait a minute...... You guys...... Don't you ......?"
She looked at her sister's blushing face in disbelief.
"Have you made a private decision for life?"
"Where do you want to go!"
Butterfly Chanae cried and laughed and flicked the butterfly, and endured a brain collapse.
"It's just that we will go over together in the name of my fiancΓ© first."
"I don't understand," Butterfly Shinobu said with confusion written on her face, "why do you want to take him with you on such an occasion?" β
"He was afraid that I would be in danger. As long as I go outside, he won't leave me no matter what. So don't look like Shimi, but it's actually very reliable. β
Regarding this matter, Butterfly Chanae did not mention the prophecy, "So, we can't be guests at Uncle Saeki's house at that time, and let him sit alone on the roof and starve and freeze." β
"I think it's a good fit."
The butterfly snorted.
"You're just talking, I know very well, Xiao Ren's heart is actually as soft as me!"
"Don't scratch me! It's easy to raise! Hahahaha......"
In this way, between the two laughing, two topics that could have caused a strong dispute were ended.
Sure enough, they left me for a while......
Butterfly Chanae sighed in her heart.
Shinobu has grown up very quickly.
"By the way, speaking of Mr. Kuwajima, does he know about that?"
Butterfly Shinobu suddenly said, "About the discovery of Mt. Tani." β
A week ago, all the decent newspapers in the country (a small half of them had been bought by Ashina). Both coincidentally published a wanted warrant for Mt. Tsuiyaki and a private bounty for Ashina. The wanted warrant not only gives a general description of what he did and how he looks, but also highlights the fact that he stole two famous knives.
Sure enough, within a day, news came from Satsuma's side that a pawn shop clerk had gone to the office of the Demon Slayer to report that he had received a katana engraved with the words "Demon Extermination" not long ago.
After getting the news, the headquarters immediately sent someone over there to track down the whereabouts of Miaoyue, and found the trace of that guy in a hotel in the port.
According to his belongings, the team members immediately judged that this guy should have wanted to abscond out of the country, but because of his gambling habits, he lost most of his property and failed to make it.
So everyone waited for the rabbit and prepared to capture Yue Yue, who had returned from the casino, but that night, Yue Yue did not come back, but fled.
Over the next few days, something strange happened-
Every time the team members rushed over through the crows to find the traces of Mt. Tandake, he had disappeared again without a trace, as if he had the ability to foresee.
Moreover, because the government intends to use the knife to open up a typical example of "human rape", the largest newspapers in the country, without exception, reported on the progress of the arrest of Yue Yue almost every day, and even sent reporters accompanying the army to follow and write all the way.
Now, according to reports, the ghost killers have chased Mt. Tanakashi from Kagoshima to Yamaguchi Prefecture, but they still haven't caught him.
Suffice it to say β
The safety of Yue Yue is affecting the hearts of the people of the whole country.
"The newspapers are so full of reports that it's hard to hide it. Mr. Kuwashima has become more emaciated lately, and we are all afraid that he may not be able to think about it. β
Butterfly Chanae lowered her eyes, "I ask him to accompany Shiya to go shopping, and I also hope that he can go out for a walk." β
"This Lean Yue is really harmful."
Butterfly gritted her teeth and muttered, "I don't know what is going on with this guy, how can a reserve member who hasn't even learned the form of one be able to evade the pursuit so smoothly?" β
Butterfly Chanae shook her head, "This is exactly what is unbelievable. β
It's as if someone is secretly helping him.
"Sister, you said, the matter is so big, every newspaper is talking about the matter of Miaoyue......"
Butterfly Shinobu suddenly smiled a little maliciously, "Then Onimai Tsuji no miserable will not know?" β
"This ......"
"According to Mr. Kuwajima, he wasted all the blood in such a large bottle, but he didn't become a ghost."
Butterfly Shinobu gestured, "So, if I were this guy, I might as well be arrested obediently, and at most I would be shot." β
"But if the ghost finds him first...... Tsk, I hope he doesn't die too easily. β
"Shinobi." Butterfly Chanae stopped Butterfly Shinobu from continuing to think, "Don't talk about this, he is a human after all." β
"You're just too soft-hearted, sister."
Butterfly Shinobu complained.
If you turn him into a ghost, give it to me.
I'll be able to keep Kurou out of my lab for a month.
"By the way, sister, this time I will bring a new medicine."
Seeing that her sister's mood seemed to be a little low, the butterfly took out a small jar made of glass from her waist bag as if offering a treasure, and shook it gently in her hand.
Judging from its style, it is known that it was used to break on the ground.
"What is this?"
Butterfly Chanae opened the bottle and fanned the air with her hands as if she were conducting a chemical experiment, the tip of her nose twitched slightly, but she didn't seem to smell anything special.
And the gray-green powder contained in it is not so much a medicinal herb as the ashes left by the burning of animals and plants.
"This is Master Xiao's unique secret medicine, which can invalidate any means of recovery, including the recovery ability of ghosts."
Butterfly Shinobu introduced, "After we modified it, although the effect of the medicine was reduced, we were able to make this medicine only work on demons, and the use of pills and moon grass would not be affected. And for the sake of hits, as long as you knock on the lid, it can explode directly around us, enveloping the ghost in it. β
"How does it work?"
Butterfly Chanae asked, her eyes full of surprise.
It can make the ghost unable to recover, which is simply the ultimate sanction for the ghost.
"We experimented with ghosts."
Butterfly Shinobu smiled and said, "Even if you inhale this medicine into your body, you will not be able to recover from the injury for up to ten seconds. β
β¦β¦
It's past eight o'clock in the evening.
A cargo ship targeting Hokkaido has just departed from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Having lost almost everything, he was hiding at the bottom of a wooden box filled with straw, allowing the wet and salty air from the cargo compartment to torment his nostrils through the gaps between the slats.
He felt a straw that seemed to sink into the center of his footβhe didn't wear shoes to sneak in without being noticed, but with a slight movement of his body, he felt another straw stick in his waist.
Who knows what awaits him when the boat stops...... Therefore, Miyue could not move at will at the risk of injury.
In the end, he could only stand motionless in this small space.
Hunger and cold, hardship and hardship.
He finally cried.
"If you sell a knife, you should leave this country directly, why do you have to gamble for money! I knew I was going to lose! β
"It's good now, the Ghost Slayer has found me, and if I get caught, they will definitely humiliate me!"
"Waitβ"
"If I beg that old man to spare my life, will he show mercy!"
"After all, if it wasn't for my previous mistakes, he wouldn't have survived."
In the past seven days, Yue Yue, who has been desperately fleeing without sleep, has already wanted to give up.
"That's it, if you get caught, just say I was forced before......"
"Mingzhu is dead, the old man is old again, and I am the only heir of the thunder breath!"
"They're not going to let me die."
"It won't be ......"
In this way, these sentences kept repeating in his head, and Yue Yue felt his mind dizzy, and his tense body began to relax, and then slowly sank.
Just when his consciousness was about to go completely into darkness and embrace the rare restful sleepβ
βDuangοΌοΌοΌβ
A thunderous noise suddenly came from the roof of the cargo hold, as if a half-ton man had fallen from the mast, and he was about to fall asleep, and the horror was like a steel fork poking into his heart.
"Listen, I'm here to find someone!"
It was a majestic male voice, speaking in an extremely domineering tone, with great clarity penetrating through layers of obstacles into the box.
"There's a guy named Inatama Tsugaku, who is hiding in this boat, and I can smell his blood!"
"Hand him over, and I'll allow you guys who are so weak that they can't even be as good as ants to jump into the sea and kill themselves."
"Otherwise, I'll beat the whole ship into meat sauce one by one!"
"Did you hear me?"
