……

Kyogokuya.

The hallway is lit up.

Squeak –

The door was slowly pulled open, and the panicked woman knelt in the hallway, peering inside.

"Hostess." Her voice trembled, her throat and eyes were dry, and her arms supporting her body were faintly weak.

Sitting in the house, looking down to count the bills, the tired boss lady did not turn around, but asked directly:

"What's the matter?"

Her fingers flicked rapidly between the abacus, her voice hoarse.

"Tamako, Tamako, she..."

The woman took a few deep breaths before she said in horror with sweat on her forehead:

"She's gone!"

"Nowhere to find her... I don't think she's the kind of person who would run away. ”

As she spoke, as if she had thought of something terrifying, her pupils shrank:

"Could it be...!"

Hear the words.

Smack.

The abacus in the proprietress stopped, her expression froze, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Tamako is the attendant who cleans up the room for the Oiran of the Bracken, and the girl who follows the Oiran on both sides when she parades the streets.

That is, the child who cried to himself last time and couldn't clean up the room.

After a moment of silence.

Click, click.

The sound of the abacus snapping echoed through the room again.

"I see." The proprietress responded, her voice not audible, but the sweat on her forehead kept increasing:

"Leave her alone."

"Don't mention it again, let the others pay attention."

Seeing that the proprietress didn't want to act, the woman had a worried expression on her face, she hesitated, and wanted to persuade:

"But..."

"Stand down."

The proprietress said in a stiff voice, categorically, and no longer gave her any chance to speak.

"Yes—" The woman nodded after her eyes lowered for a moment, then slowly closed the door and exited the room.

Faint sobs came from the hallway.

……

Shortly after the woman left.

Inside the house.

Smack.

"Excessive..."

The proprietress stopped abruptly with her hand on the abacus, her hands trembling, and she lay on the table weakly, her hands clenched hard.

"It's too much."

Bang!

He clenched his fist and slammed the table hard.

After thinking for a moment, she thought back to the time she had been the boss's wife, the girls who had disappeared or committed suicide.

Especially in the past few months, someone has been missing almost every night!

Obviously, I have done everything she asked... Still frequent deaths.

As if she had made some huge decision, she slammed her hands on the table.

"Oiran the Warabi Princess—" she muttered to herself, took two deep breaths, got up from the table, and walked to the cabinet behind her.

Click-

Pulling open the drawer, the proprietress looked inside the drawer, and she reached out to find the contents.

Click.

The pitch-black body of the gun reflected a heavy sheen in the light of the room.

This is a simple revolver with a nest.

He took out a few brass-colored bullets from the drawer, his hand trembling slightly, and pushed the bullets into the nest one by one.

The proprietress trembled to herself, and slowly sounded in the room:

"Already..."

“… I can't let you do this anymore. ”

Click!

With the crisp sound of loading, her eyes gradually became firm.

……

……

The north side of Kyogokuya.

in a shady room.

"Hmm! Not!! ”

Pink-purple, ornately patterned clothes swelled in the dark room.

With a frightened expression and tears squeezing out of the corners of her eyes, Yuzi was being restrained, and it was slowly printed on the surface of the clothes belt as if it had been flattened.

Who's going to ——!

Tamako's mouth was bound by the clothes belt, and she struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Soon she was completely flattened and turned into a portrait, which was engraved in the belt of her clothes.

But judging from the slight ups and downs observed in the portrait, Tamako is not dead yet, but only unconscious.

Window.

Fallen Ji was dressed gorgeously, and she was standing there, as if waiting for something, ignoring Fang Cai's struggle.

If Xiaoyu hadn't come in suddenly, she would have disturbed her, who was waiting for the miserable adult, and she wouldn't have been coerced and sent to the granary.

That's right.

- The day when Lord Wu Miao controlled her body to inspect the cyan flower was today.

Akihime took a deep breath, a nervous look of anticipation on her face.

……

Soon.

Here it comes!

Akihime felt the blood boiling in her body.

Creak...

The green tendons burst up along her neck, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her green eyes instantly turned scarlet.

A moment later.

Fallen Ji reopened her narrow scarlet eyes, she looked out the window in front of her, her gaze paused for a moment on the bustling night scene, and spoke:

"Fallen Hime."

There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"Where's the cyan flower you found?"

Akihime stood at the window, her head raised and looked at the moon in the sky that was slightly obscured by clouds, but her voice was a strange cold male voice.

Twisting the small cyan flower in her hand, she withdrew her gaze from Haoyue and threw it out of the window casually:

"That's not what I want."

For thousands of years, Wu Miao has found all the neon flowers that can be called "cyan".

This strain is no exception.

Thinking about it, he felt the sense of restraint brought by this body, and felt aggrieved in his heart.

Because it is controlled remotely through the blood in other people's bodies, one's own perception ability is greatly reduced.

- Very insecure.

Go out and look through the eyes of other people of the same kind.

The main body can only curl up in the infinite city!

All this...

It's all because of that guy!

"Shh Thinking of this, Wu Miao sighed, the root of his teeth clenched unconsciously, and the green tendons jumped out on his neck.

If it weren't for that hateful guy still alive, there would be no need for me to hide like this!

Her face grew gloomy.

It seems to feel the anger of the miserable.

Fallen Ji's expression changed, she pursed her lips slightly, quickly turned her head sideways, and her voice changed back:

"No Misery..."

As if talking to herself, her expression was respectful, and the gorgeous outfit on her body gradually spread out, turning into the costume of a ghost, and her eyes looked into the room:

"All the flowers and medicinal herbs found by my subordinates are here, please take a look."

All kinds of cyan flowers have been neatly arranged on the table.

Behind him, Yijie opened two huge eyes, and the part wrapped in the engraved portrait slipped through the gap between the walls, and quickly left the room.

Fallen Ji strolled over to the table and sat down slowly.

The scarlet eyes of Misery opened with the help of her body, and her gaze swept over the table in front of her one by one.

Pick up a flower, identify it a little, and throw it aside.

Thinking back to all the coincidences in the past.

She was sifting through the flowers for a moment, then frowned, and became restless.

- You'd better not show up at this time!

Wu Miao thought hatefully in his heart.

……

Meanwhile.

on the streets.

"Over there."

"That's right."

Tanjuro and Uji-Tengen looked in the direction of Kyogokuya, talking one by one.

Through the perception of the world, the two of them could clearly perceive that the aura of ghosts was coming from there.

Side.

Tomioka stood where he was, and he followed the two of them's line of sight toward that side.

He was silent.

- I can't see anything.

Then.

The three of them glanced at each other.

Swish!

At the same time, it turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.

Passers-by looked in astonishment and rubbed their eyes vigorously.

……

The sky is getting darker, and it looks even quieter against the light below.

Kyogokuya.

Roof.

Smack!

The three of Tanjuro landed near the roof, keeping a safe distance, looked at each other, and nodded.

Jays hover above, offering a bird's-eye view of everything below.

[That's it!] 】

Yu Marrow Tianyuan gestured to the other two with his eyes, and he made a slight gesture to communicate his thoughts:

[Be careful and try to kill them on the spot]

[Don't startle the snake]

【Casualties minimized】

After making the communication, he took out the two chain-connected golden blade scimitars from behind him, and looked at the roof below him with a solemn look.

- I was just here to investigate today, but I didn't expect to find it at once.

The hand gripping the handle of the knife unconsciously sweated.

Opposite side.

？

Tomioka Yoshiyu's eyes silently moved away from the gesture of Michimi, and he quietly looked at Tanjuro on the side.

The meaning of the dull eyes is this:

What is he doing? 】

Tanjuro choked and didn't answer.

Then.

Swish!

The bright light of the knife flashed Tomioka's eyes, and he turned his head sharply.

In Tomioka's gradually shocked eyes, Uchiyo Tengen raised his red gold twin swords high, and white vapor overflowed from his slightly open mouth.

He slammed into the roof below!

【Breath of Sound】

【Type of One】

【Boom】

……

……

Inside the house.

One by one, the flowers were discarded, and the expression of no misery became more and more anxious.

Uproar——!

"Again."

Wu Miao controlled the fallen hime, her expression was bored, and she raised all the cyan flowers on the table and sprinkled them on the ground at will:

"None of them!"

After a thousand years, he has lost his patience!

Bang!

Hammered the table hard, his face full of resentment, and he was about to stand up.

His ears twitched twice.

Wu Miao frowned in confusion and looked up in the direction of the roof.

Sand –

A trail of sawdust fell from the girder and landed right on his face.

"What's this..."Just as he reached out and wiped the dust from his face in confusion, he looked at it cautiously.

Squeak –

The wooden girder above his head suddenly couldn't bear the heavy pressure and let out a roaring scream!

In the reflection of the scarlet pupils, the entire roof suddenly collapsed heavily!

Rumble!!

Dust poured in, and a few pale beams of moonlight burst through the cracked roof openings into the dimly lit room.

Then.

Click, click.

The three figures stepped on the broken roof and landed in the dusty room, which they observed in the dim light.

The two of them, who have a transparent world, are staring at the other side of the room.

The other side.

Location near the window.

“… Ghost hunters? Wu Miao frowned slightly, he stood up slightly at the window of the room, and was really a little frightened.

But as a ghost king, even if you control other people's bodies.

He also has enough reflexes to be the first to observe the condition of the roof.

Just retreat away from it.

- After all, in the hundreds of years since he met that guy, he almost instinctively focused all his abilities on "survival".

While this leads to a singular approach to his offense, it doesn't matter.

in the room.

The dust that rose made it impossible for him to see the three people who had fallen.

But Wu Miao didn't care too much.

As a winder, the fallen queen has already eaten seven pillars, and the prostitute Taro, who is usually the same as the fallen hime, has eaten fifteen pillars.

In total, over the years, there have been twenty-two pillars who have died on Flower Street.

In this case, no ghost hunter realizes that Flower Street is the residence of ghosts, which is abnormal.

Thinking.

Bang!

Wu Miao stepped back slightly, slammed open the window, and the cold wind poured into the room with the opening of the window, and his whole body suddenly vacated above the street:

"I'll leave it to you here, fall..."

The words have not yet been finished.

Whoosh——!

A hook with a cold glow at the tip burst through the dust that was kicked up!

Poof!

In the pupils that contracted in surprise, he stabbed into his receding abdomen, through the ribs, and quickly hooked the flesh!

The rope woven by the iron wire behind the iron hook was suddenly tightened hard! Make a creaking rubbing sound!

A huge force came from the abdomen, and instantly dragged Wu Miao and rushed forward!

"What?!"

Caught off guard, Wu Miao raised his head, and the whole person was suddenly pulled into the room from the street in mid-air!

Bang!

- Crashed into someone's arms!

- People?

Wu Miao felt it and was slightly stunned.

The dust around him had been blown away by the wind because of his rapid movement in and out.

He looked up slowly.

Some trance eyes looked in front of him, his left arm was holding the iron rope, and he was rigidly restraining himself, tying himself in his arms-

———— eyes flickered, and his expression gradually became stunned.

- Jiguo Yuanyi?!

！！？

In the scarlet pupils of Wu Miserable, Tanjuro's appearance against the moonlight was reflected, and because he was close enough, he could even see the faint redness of the other party's forehead markings!

"Don't be in a hurry to cut off your head, this upper string won't die if you cut off your head!"

"You've all read the mission report of the Forging Knife Village! It's the same with this one! ”

Tanjuro frowned, shouted to the side, and tied up "Fallen Hime" with a hook and rope.

He didn't expect that Fallen Ji would look sluggish, and he would be tied up honestly.

Front.

Hearing Tanjuro's voice, Mu Miao's throat dried up, his face was frightened, and his eyes suddenly trembled violently!

This voice!

This look!!

Bulging, expanding, expanding!

In an instant, Wu Miao opened his mouth slightly, his body trembled involuntarily, and he could even feel the heartbeat of the guy in front of him at this moment!!

Why?!

Why is he here?!

There is no misery, and cold sweat breaks out on the forehead.

"Ho... Ahem...! ”

After an instant brain shutdown, he suddenly opened his mouth and roared desperately!

The green tendons on the neck climbed hard, and the face turned red from fear!

Run!!

There was only one thought left in his mind!

Hurry up and split!!

Seeing the reaction of "Fallen Hime" like this, Tomioka and Uchi, who were standing vigilant on the side, suddenly turned tense.

Swish! Swish!

The dazzling light of the knife pierced the moonlight, with a sound of breaking the air.

The two knives were slung to his neck.

After "Fallen Hime" roared for a while.

He stopped in a daze, looked at the person in front of him with extremely frightened eyes, and his heart was pounding like a suffocation.

- Why can't it be split?!
