The root cause of all tragedy, Onimai Tsuji is not miserable.

I will bear the deepest evil, and even if I die, I will take you to the Infernal Hell.

Unfolded fingers reveal the palm of his hand, among which was an iron tablet twisted and hot from the explosion, which he had discovered when he was half-kneeling on the ground.

There are three words engraved on the iron plate, which are a little unclear due to the distortion and blackening, but they can still be distinguished.

Ekakuoka.

"Is your name Ekakuoka?"

"I don't know what you've been through, and it's probably painful and desperate to make you like this."

"If I do it again, I won't kill you, but it's already happened, and I can only say I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

This is actually the first time he has killed a person in the river, but it feels like killing a beast in the jungle, like killing a ghost, without much psychological fluctuations.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the expression of the river is calm and indifferent, it can be said that the face is expressionless, but there is a rock-like determination in his eyes.

After all this, he felt that he needed to give up something.

I laughed heartily, but the smile faded eventually.

I also hesitated, but after all, I hesitated and the timing was wrong.

I was also grief-stricken, but sadness didn't work out after all.

Then, let's swing the knife decisively with an expressionless face, the road of ghost destruction, from no smooth road, how much depression and frustration pain, how many times in despair of rebirth.

Sayuki ...... I'll deliver you with my own hands......

"Whoever can't defeat me will eventually make me stronger."

"Onimai Tsuji...... Waiting for me ......"

Tanjuro's sigh seemed to be heard in his ears: "When the river flows...... Thank you for your hard work...... I owe you so much......"

There was guilt in his voice.

"Father, don't sigh for me, this is the path I chose, and when I finish all this, it will become what you expect."

With the strength of his right hand, he crumpled the iron plaque engraved with his name into a ball and threw it into the flames.

Miko whispered in her ear as she was in the river, "How is it?" Is the darkness of this world unbearable? ”

Chuan Liushi looked at his cold and hard steel gray hands, and said softly: "Yes, I will bear this darkness, and leave the beauty to others." ”

Miko said: "Then what choice do you think I will make, should I continue to follow you, or go to the world of the dead?" ”

Chuanliushi looked at the moon in the sky: "Miko, through my eyes, you should also see beautiful things." ”

"When I was in a state of despair, let me join the convoy to send me on my way and give me clean clothes."

"When I was shy and couldn't get the money, Uncle Yoshida took the initiative to help me out of the siege."

"These are the good things in the world, you should have seen them, and this is only a small part of them."

The inaudible whisper said intermittently: "Indeed, I like that feeling very much, the feeling that someone is willing to lend a hand, warm as light." ”

Chuan Liushi said: "Then are you willing to be with me, with me to guard this light in the dark?" ”

Miko's voice suddenly became clear and loud: "Haha, of course, I still have to feel more light. ”

"Onimai Tsuji is not miserable, if he dies, this light will be even more."

Chuan Liushi promised: "Yes, definitely." ”

………………

At two o'clock in the morning, in front of the medical hall in Takahashi.

Under the cold moonlight, the river fell from the sky, its wings gathered and disappeared in an instant, and its appearance slowly changed into a human form.

"There's no smell of blood, Sister Takahashi should be fine."

"But there's a strong ghostly ......"

The scent of the original Sayuki has disappeared, and only the faint ghostly aura that I smelled when I first saw it has become rich and clear.

The one who should face it is always coming, and he pushed open the door of the medical hall when he was in the middle of the stream.

There was a creak, and the door opened.

Takahashi was lying next to Sayuki Hara's hospital bed, looking half-asleep, and she could be seen frowning in the moonlight, as if she had some bad dream.

On the small table next to the medical equipment, there was a flat-bottomed iron plate thirty centimeters long and wide, on which was a pair of blood-stained white rubber gloves, and three metal projectiles.

Because of the creak of the wooden door being pushed open, Takahashi opened his eyes in a daze, because he couldn't see it really with the light on his back, and he only knew that someone had broken in.

Takahashi's whole person was excited, and he woke up in an instant.

She hurriedly closed her eyes and said nervously, "Who are you?" Is it a family struggle that needs help? ”

"It's okay, there's money at the counter next to the door, you go get it, I didn't see your face, it's not a threat to you."

"Don't be impulsive......"

Chuanliushi looked at Saxue Hara on the hospital bed and said softly, "Sister Takahashi, it's me." ”

Only then did Takahashi open his fingers, took a sneak look, and when he found out that it was really a stream, he was a little annoyed and angry: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here all of a sudden?" ”

"I didn't mean you would come tomorrow."

"Wait...... What's wrong with your clothes? What does it smell like? ”

Takahashi, who was about to spit out the fragrance of his mouth, suddenly noticed that the clothes of the river were extremely tattered, as if they had been burned by fire, and he was holding a tattered haori in his hand, which smelled of burning.

"Brother...... You're here......"

Hara Sayuki's voice suddenly sounded slowly, echoing a little empty in the room.

Takahashi was surprised and was about to look back to see what was going on, but his whole body fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Chuan Liushi stepped forward: "You ......"

Without waiting for him to stop him, Yuan Saxue's voice sounded again: "Hehe, Sister Takahashi just fell asleep, don't worry, how can I hurt her." ”

"I just want to talk to my brother alone."

As he looked at Takahashi's ankles, black thorns were slowly sliding towards the hospital bed.

Takahashi's ankle was pierced by the spikes on the thorns, and it was dark in color, and it was poisoned.

Sayuki Hara lifted the futon and slowly sat up from the hospital bed.

Her clothes were supposed to have been taken off by Takahashi for treatment, leaving only a white wrap chest and white pants.

There was a bandage around her waist and abdomen, but the strap seemed to make Sayuki Hara a little uncomfortable, so she tore it open and threw it on the bed.

Slender arms, fair and delicate legs, a slender neck like a swan neck, delicate and small collarbones, and large swaths of snow-white skin are exposed to the eyes of the river.

Waist-length hair like a golden waterfall, with a swarthy color at the roots, stretches inch by inch until the ends of the hair.

There were still fine and tiny spikes on the black hair, and her hair seemed to have turned into shrunken black thorns.

Hara Sayuki's pink pupils are also gradually changing, the whites of the eyes have faded into a vivid red like blood, and the pupils have turned into a deep black, and there seem to be layers of pinprick-like crystals in the pupils.

The pink lips also turned into flaming red lips, and two sharp teeth were exposed inside, but they were as terrifying as the fangs when they were ghosted in different rivers, and these two teeth were slightly shorter, but there was a sense of playfulness and wildness.

With a tap of her delicate and white toes, she came to Chuanliushi's side and went around his back, her soft and boneless arms gently wrapped around Chuanliushi's waist, and her face was tightly attached to Chuanliushi's neck.

At this moment, the original yarn snow, like a black hole, deep eyes with a smile and a charm, the water covers the ground with fog, and the slightest charm ripples.

The corners of her small mouth curled slightly, and her red lips opened slightly.

"Brother, do I look good like this?"

"Forever, forever with me!"
