Chapter 5: The Land of Memories
Sitting face to face in front of the campfire, his eyes relative to each other in silence.
It was late at night, but the journey still hadn't reached the end, Wu also chose to rest halfway, and Mei Hong didn't raise any objections.
The two of them stopped on the outskirts of Kyoto, a city shrouded in night, and it seemed that there was no trace of the breath of the living.
“...... That's weird, isn't it? ”
Mei Hong looked at Wu Ye with a dark gaze, and was the first to break the silence: "Why did you make such a big move, but no one came to investigate?" Is Kyoto's defense already weak to this extent? ”
"No, it's not."
This time, Takeshi did not choose to escape again, but stood up and looked at the gate of Kyoto from a distance: "Look there." ”
"Huh?" Mei Hong looked in the direction indicated by Wu Ye, and the bottom of the city gate was empty, and even the guards guarding the gate couldn't see one.
This is clearly very wrong.
Mei Hong cast a puzzled look at Wu Ye, who didn't answer, just extinguished the bonfire with dirt and walked towards the city gate with Mei Hong.
When the two of them approached the city, Mei Hong realized that it was not that there were no guards guarding the door, but that there was no one in the entire city.
Mei Hong couldn't help but fly into the sky, and from the air, she could completely take in the scene of the entire city.
The streets are deserted with only roadside lanterns, and the gorgeous Kabukicho is still lit up, but there is not a single person.
This extremely weird scene made Mei Hong feel a chill behind her.
In Kyoto, which is almost completely normal except for the absence of any human activity, there is only one place that can catch the attention of Meihong.
That's Fujiwara House.
She involuntarily flew towards that place, and Takeya silently followed behind her, not saying a word.
It's supposed to be a forgotten memory.,But Meihong's body seems to be guided by something.,The location of Fujiwara's house was found exactly what.。
Unlike the rest of Kyoto, this is the only place where it is ruined.
It was an extremely abrupt picture difference, and the street in front of it clearly saw the stalls used by the merchants during the day, and the bustling scenery could be clearly felt even if there was no one now.
But in this environment, even the door number of Fujiwara's house fell to the ground in tatters, and the cobwebs covered the broken door, and when it was gently pushed open, the sound of squeaky teeth was almost uneared.
The front yard was messy and scary, as if no one had cleaned it for years, and the fallen leaves were all over the ground, and even the tea trees that Fujiwara Bubi had planted with his own hands had died.
Stepping into it, the feeling of being in a different world filled Mei Hong's mind, and she couldn't help but lean down to pick up the broom that had been randomly thrown on the ground, but was stopped by a sudden burst of flames.
The blazing fireball ignited a path of fire along the ground, and Mei Hong shook the scorched black in her hand with a cold face, straightened up and looked in the direction of the attack.
"What......" Her eyes widened, and she kept her mouth open after a surprised note came out, and froze in place.
Not for anything else, just because the guy who attacked her was her "herself".
With white hair and red eyes, the flame feather cloak wrapped around his body condensed into the shape of wings, like the outstretched wings of an immortal bird, exuding a dangerous aura.
Undoubtedly, that is "yourself".
Mei Hong doesn't know how to describe this weird feeling, obviously she should be genuine, but no matter what aspect the other party looks at, it seems to be "herself".
Like Huiyin who met before, this "sister red" didn't have any possibility of communication, and launched an attack the moment she saw herself.
Fortunately, there is already a strange Huiyin as a buffer, and this time when I see another self, Meihong doesn't have too many entanglements.
She lit her own flames, and in the next second, two red flames collided in the air, her fists and the opponent's fists hit together, and even the strength seemed to be almost the same.
"Hey, ...... pretending to be a ghost!"
No matter what the other party is, Mei Hong will not show mercy, and after the battle with Huiyin, she vaguely grasps the way to fight these strange guys.
Although the abilities and physical qualities are almost identical, the use of this power is one heaven and one place.
After a short confrontation, Mei Hong confirmed that although the other party had the same level of strength as herself, he was too far behind in terms of operation.
"Give me a rest!"
seized the opportunity to interrupt the other party's accumulation, Mei Hong smashed a fist on the opponent's head, and the "self" that flew out upside down collapsed the wall in the front yard, and couldn't get up again.
To deal with the immortal Penglai people can only be used in this way, although it is not really killed the other party, but Mei Hong can guarantee that this guy will not be able to get up for a while.
Mei Hong subconsciously turned over, Wu Ye was still standing far away from the door, and he didn't mean to come in, obviously according to the previous order, at this time he should come in and do something to the fallen "self".
Soon, Mei Hong knew the other party's reason not to move, because the opponent still had one.
"Hey, what the hell is this, Mirror Wars?"
Looking at the young man who was holding Gangnir in front of him, Mei Hong held her head and felt a little headache.
solved the "self", and the next one to appear was actually "Wu Ye".
Twisting over again to look at the real Wu Ye outside the door and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, Mei Hong sighed, and simply knocked over the "Wu Ye" in front of her.
No stress.
It's better to say that the enemies encountered along the way seem to be getting weaker and weaker, and the original Kaguya Ji can still bring himself a little threat, and so is Huiyin, but now, the other self and Wu Ya are almost here to go through the motions.
When both of them fell to the ground, Takeya finally stepped into the Fujiwara Mansion and took the two glass beads from their bodies.
Suddenly, Mei Hong seemed to finally remember where she had seen that glass bead.
Before, a long, long time ago, she had seen ...... No, I used to have it.
Isn't that a Nanban toy, it seemed to be very popular in Kyoto at the time, and although as an unappreciated child, Meihong had a miserable life at the Fujiwara family, but this level of stuff was barely affordable.
So...... Why does Wu also collect this toy? And also collected from these strange guys?
While thinking, a group of resentful spirits surrounded them.
The corners of Mei Hong's mouth couldn't help twitching, and the resentful spirits in front of her said that they were actually a little reluctant, but a group of spirits who couldn't escape from reality and were forcibly left behind, because they couldn't return to the Pure Land for a long time, they had resentment.
The level of threat was almost equal to none, and although they looked menacing, Mei Hong burned them clean with a single fire.
What's the matter, the enemy is really getting weaker and weaker.
After dispelling all the resentful spirits, the path that appeared led to the depths of the backyard, and Mei Hong was no longer interested in continuing this bad game, she quickened her pace and ran towards the end.
It was a small courtyard, and in the past, after accidentally coming to this era, they won the right to live here by impressing Fujiwara Fubi and others with their knowledge.
Although the time is not long, this small courtyard is an important place of memories for Wu Ye, Mei Hong, and the little ghost......
I see.
Mei Hong suddenly raised her head in realization, her whole body was already surrounded by flames, what a small courtyard, Fujiwara House, Kyoto, even the sky and the earth were surrounded by flames.
This is...... The aftermath of the dream.
The little girl in the dream, her outline gradually became clear, with short white hair, gray eyes, blood-drenched body, and hatred hidden in the darkness, wrapped in endless flames.
That's, me.
That's, Fujiwara sister red.
Really, sister red.
