Chapter 226: The Verge
Just when the finishing work was being done on the side of Suihe Mountain, Zhu Shi, who had no power to resist, was also carried by the father and son of Yumji who had become ghosts, and came to a large manor on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Along the way, Zhushi's ears were filled with the whirring sound of the wind as he was moving forward, and although he didn't get any information from the ninja father and son, his eyes were not idle.
For example, although this manor seems ordinary, there are some candle-like eyes from time to time in the woods that follow the mountains.
Zhu Shi pondered, these should be the latest ghosts transformed by Onimai Tsuji, but he didn't expect to be raised in the woods of his hiding place like this......
Moreover, the color of those gazes is not the most common yellow and amber, but slightly reddish.
In other words, these ghosts were more affected by the black silk sediment than they had encountered in Suihe Mountain before......
On the side of Genichiro, more detailed information is needed.
So, in the blind corner where the father and son couldn't see it at all, two eyeballs with tentacles and Yushiro's vision covering talisman paper on their backs fell from Zhu Shi's kimono to the ground and quietly crawled towards the forest.
As expected, Naruto will see the layout through her eyes and report the details to Genichiro, lest she be caught off guard and cause the Demon Slayer and Ashina's ninja to lose their lives in vain.
And she was stuck by the tyrannical Yuji Tianfeng, and she was brought all the way to the door of the innermost bungalow in the manor before stopping.
Yu Marrow Tianyuan threw her on the ground like garbage, and the latter just wanted to get up with difficulty, but was trampled on the back, and even directly stepped on a section of the vertebrae, making a crisp click.
Zhu Shi lay on the ground in pain, his fists clenched and his muscles burst out.
"Don't move, your lord is watching you."
Yu Tianfeng warned her, and then knelt down on one knee with her father, burying her head in the ground.
But the Yu Marrow Tianfeng guy obviously had a bad stomach, and directly knelt his knees on Zhu Shi's heart, which made her a little breathless.
"Lord Wu Miao, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission and have brought back this damn traitor."
The four familiar words "no miserable adult" are like an old stench, turning out from the depths of Zhu Shi's mind.
She endured the severe pain, and looked in the direction of the father and son kneeling downβ
A cold-eyed young man was standing motionless by the window on the third floor, his face pale as a dead man, but with the same smug and unfathomable smile as before.
Zhu Shi knew a hundred ways to make him laugh.
Just a few words can do it.
But now is not the time.
In order to make sure that Onimai Tsuji was captured by Naruto in Infinity City, she had to get the guy fairly close to her, and she had to make the guy weaker, at least so weak that she couldn't react - Ichiro had tried it himself, and as long as he was fast enough, Naruto's abilities were still easy to dodge.
At least he can easily do it with a ghost, and there is no reason why Onimai Tsuji can't hide from it.
Zhu Shi Ghost Dance Tsuji Mu Miao seemed to have no idea about the impending fate, and his heart suddenly flooded with boundless malice, forcibly restraining himself from revealing those expressions that might reveal the plan, just staring at him with hatred, unwillingness, and even helplessness, looking like a defeated dog.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Onimai Tsuji's mouth curled even more, and the deep pride almost turned into the words on the shop sign, hanging on his face.
Really......
No matter how timid and cautious some people are, they can't change the fact that he's an idiot.
"Well done."
He gave an understatement of praise to the father and son, and then disappeared into the window frame, leaving no further instructions. But after Na Yu Tianfeng was praised, his originally tense face immediately turned into joy, and when he thought about it, he was also a poor worm who couldn't get praise when he was a human being.
After a while, a sound of footsteps got closer and closer, and the door of the bungalow was opened, and out of it came a handsome man in a suit and vest - to be honest, apart from Tomioka Yoshiyu and Uthimin Tengen, Zhu Shi had never seen such a good-looking human, and unlike the two of them, who were obviously feminine, this man seemed to be ......
Condensed with light.
There was a feeling of warmth.
If it weren't for the fact that in the eyes of the other party, the words "winding" and "two" were indeed written, Zhu Shi almost thought that this was a certain pillar of the ghost killing team.
"Oh, how can you treat Miss Zhu Shi like this? She came with a gift. β
The sun in the temple hurriedly asked Yu Marrow Tianyuan to move his knees away, and the latter snorted coldly unconvinced, but still obediently did so, and the father and son got up at the same time, looking at this ghost with very jealous eyes.
However, the gentle temple sun ignored them, and just let his right hand suddenly turn into a transparent crystal, and then he placed his right hand between the pearl world and the moon.
Then, a strange scene happened.
Through his right hand, the moonlight converged into a silver ray of light, which hit Zhu Shi's broken spine directly.
A warm feeling came, and the fatal wound that usually takes a minute to repair was healed in an instant!
Zhu Shi's face was a little stiff.
Not only did she not feel happy, but a trace of horror rose in her heart.
Others don't know, isn't she, a citizen scientist, still unclear?
The essence of moonlight is reflected sunlight!
This guy - can actually gather moonlight to heal ghosts?!
"Oh, it doesn't hurt at all. It seems that Miss Zhushi, you did eat that flower. β
The sun in the temple smiled and bent down to help her, but Zhu Shi avoided her.
The concentration of moonlight he gathered just now was comparable to the sunlight on a cloudy day, which was enough to open a hole in the body of the Yu marrow father and son, but Zhu Shi could bear it completely, which showed that the news revealed in the newspaper was true.
This female ghost has indeed overcome the sun.
"So what? Anyway, I'm already in the hands of that cowardly bastard! β
"Hey, you woman......"
Yu Marrow Tianfeng heard that Zhu Shi was insulted, and he was about to teach her a lesson, but before he could take a step, a silver light hit the ground under his feet, but how deep it shot in, it was impossible to estimate.
ββ¦β¦β
Glancing at the sun in the temple who didn't even look at him, Yu Marrow Tianfeng retreated stupidly.
Don't look at the number difference between the two of them is only one, but this close attendant next to Onimai Tsuji is an existence that can kill him in seconds.
"Cowardly bastard? Hehe, a little bit, but it's still bearable. β
The sun in the temple said something rebellious and made a gesture of "please" to Zhu Shi.
"Let's go, Miss Zhushi. Speaking of which, you two haven't seen each other for more than 400 years, and as your successor, I'd love to see you two quarrel. β
Not to mention the father and son.
Even Zhushi was stunned.
With Onimai Tsuji's miserable temper, how could he allow such a presumptuous ghost to live?
Unless......
Unless he has some kind of irreplaceable role, more useful than the former Naruto!
Could it be that this is also a ghost who can teleport Onimai Tsuji to other places?
No, it's not.
Combined with his previous ability to condense light, I'm afraid it's more than that......
Zhu Shi's mind was racing.
In order for the future plan to go smoothly, she must know the specific abilities of this ghost!
She honestly followed the ghost into the bungalow, only to find that the father and son were also following behind.
As far as Zhu Shi was concerned, the more people in it, the more loopholes there would be to implement that plan, so she didn't want the two of them to follow suit.
"This coward looks like he's changed a lot."
Zhu Shi said sarcastically as he stepped on the stairs, "I thought that he would meet me alone in order to avoid the scandal of the past being exposed." It seems that he is now able to accept his failure, which is really a strange thing. β
Sure enough, the sun in the temple leading the way stopped in front of him.
The so-called ugly thing, as a person who accompanies Onimai Tsuji for 20 hours a day, is naturally very clear. And the father and son of Yu Marrow were confused and didn't know what Zhu Shi was talking about.
After thinking for a while, the sun in the temple pressed down on his temple, obviously in contact with Onimai Tsuji.
The next moment, a voice exploded in the heads of the father and son.
"You stay outside and guard."
Looking at Yu Ji Tianfeng's appearance of being severely hit, Zhu Shi relaxed a little. As father and son exited the room, she knew that another obstacle to the successful realization of the plan had been overcome.
"It seems that Miss Zhushi still understands adults as well as before."
The sun in the temple continued to go upstairs with a smile, "No wonder he has been thinking about you, it seems that he misses more than just your beauty." β
ββ¦β¦β
After listening to the words of the sun in the temple, Rao couldn't help but roll his eyes after more than 400 years of cultivation in the pearl world, but he was more and more sure that the significance of this ghost was definitely extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could a guy who couldn't even bear it, Onimai Tsuji, be miserable and get along with her.
Unless, this ghost can meet the most basic and core needs of Wumiao to a certain extent-
Survive!
"He was counting on me to make a medicine that would overcome the sun."
Zhu Shi said as he deliberately slowed down his pace of going upstairs to delay time, "You can stay by his side instead of me and Naruto, it should also have some special use." β
In order to cover up the purpose of his inquiry, Zhu Shi also specially added a sentence full of resentment.
"But I still advise you, don't think that you are special, in his eyes, his subordinates are just consumables that can be discarded at will."
"I know that very well."
The sun in the temple sighed with emotion, "In fact, after you are absorbed, I will be useless. I want to continue to be with him, but he doesn't want to put up with me anymore. β
"Useless?"
Zhu Shi caught the key word, "What does it mean?" β
"Speaking of which, it's all your fault."
The sun in the temple turned around, and his smile became reluctant, "If it weren't for the fact that you suddenly broke into Ashina and took away the blue flower...... I am sure that within a hundred years, I will help the adults overcome the sunshine. β
"But because of your risky behavior, he was interested. As you can see, Miss Zhu Shi, you have killed yourself and me, which is really lamentable and embarrassing. β
As he spoke, he leaned out his upper body and pressed his hand condescendingly on Zhu Shi's shoulder.
"Honestly, I really want to kill you right away."
Zhu Shi shuddered in his heart.
It's not because the ghost wants to kill her.
Rather, what did this ghost say just now?
In 100 years, help Onimai Tsuji overcome the sunshine!
"Oh, is there another way to overcome the sun besides the blue flowers?"
Zhu Shiqiang calmed down, but secretly passed on the news he heard to Genichiro.
Soon, she received a reply from Ichiro String.
[Ask him, where is Ghost Dance Tsuji's resistance to sunlight?] γ
Before Zhu Shi could speak, the sun in the temple had already said: "That's nature. Since you mentioned the ugly incident at the beginning, you should know the old wounds left on the body of Lord Wumiao. It took me a lot of effort to heal him. It's a pity that he doesn't even care about this little benefit from me......"
"Old, old wounds?"
Zhu Shi reacted immediately, and Onimai Tsuji was only injured once, and that was the time he met Mr. Jiguo. However, this injury was actually healed recently, and it was the first time Zhu Shi had heard of it.
"Can he face the sun for a short time now?"
Zhu Shi's tone trembled a little, if he was not miserable, he really became resistant to the sun...... Can Ichiro and the people of the Demon Slayer really kill him?
"I can last five minutes in the midday sun, in the morning and in the evening, for half an hour."
The sun in the temple only thinks that Zhu Shi is a ghost who is about to die, and casually chats about the recent harvest, but "If it is a miserable adult, it should be no problem to hold on for half an hour at noon." β
As he spoke, he suddenly emphasized: "As long as you don't get the first rays of sunlight at sunrise, there shouldn't be any problems." β
Zhu Shi opened his mouth in surprise.
On the one hand, he was amazed by Onimai Tsuji's miserable progress, and he was also glad that he was captured so that he could hear this important information.
On the other hand, it's this ghost who really dares to talk about anything, without any scruples.
And she always had a vague feeling as if the ghost had intended to let her know about it......
Could it be that he also wants to fight against Onimai Tsuji?
In this way, Zhu Shi came to the door of the study on the third floor with a heart.
"Your old friend has come to visit you."
The sun didn't even knock on the door of the temple, and he opened the door with a click and walked in, and Onimai Tsuji was sitting at a desk full of books written in various languages.
Among them, Zhu Shi can recognize Darwin's "The Origin of Species", Freud's "The Analysis of Dreams", and Nietzsche's "The Genealogy of Morality".
In short, these are theories that make it easy for readers to equate humans with "beasts" or "animals", and you can imagine what the worldview of Onimai Tsuji is roughly what it is.
"Oh, it's this ungrateful woman. When I begged you to turn you into a ghost, I left with resentment...... Now it's back to me. I really don't know, what to say about you. β
With a pretended sound of no misery, he closed the book, revealing the title on the coverβ
"Love of Life" by Jack London.
This contrast made Zhu Shi feel a strong discomfort.
But immediately, she resisted her desire to vomit, and viciously met the ruthless and tyrannical red eyeballs.
The closer Onimai Tsuji got to her, the clearer her consciousness became.
Some people, in order to prolong their own lives, want to devour the lives of everyone else, and claim to be higher beings, complacent.
Now, in order to put an end to this twisted tragic chain, she will be the first, draw her sword and unsheath.
In the next three chapters, there is no misery
