Chapter Forty-Eight: Princess Ice

Sachiko was frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster and took several steps backwards until it was obscured by darkness and white mist.

She slowed down for a moment before she calmed down.

It looks like a ghost corpse, but the ghost corpse doesn't rot to the point where it doesn't even have a single hair, you know, hair is the least perishable, and by the time the hair is rotten, the corpse will be a pile of bones.

Since it's not a ghost, is it......

When she thought of the corpse that had been burned by the fire, it would show this twisted shape, without hair, like a tiger egg.

She mustered up the courage to walk in that direction again, this time mentally prepared, and looked much calmer when she saw that face again.

It turns out that the monster is in a vessel, it is soaked in an unknown liquid in the vessel, and it also wears a respirator on its mouth and nose, and it looks like a patient with severe burns being treated.

She looked at the vessel and found a sign in the lower right corner.

A red finch surrounds a red cross, which is the symbol of the Holy Bird Medical Spirit Research Institute, a medical academy affiliated with the Shiratori family!

Sachiko remembered it instantly, she remembered that one night five years ago, she heard Ah Ping say that their medical hospital was attacked and a patient was missing, could it be this person?

She remembered that the patient was a fifteen-year-old girl, about the same age as her current self, so it seemed that the Keysword had robbed her here?

Five years ago, it seems that five years ago there was a major event related to the Thousand Sons Key Sword.

Five years ago, the Dongzhou Spirit Realm tried to establish diplomatic relations with UG for the first time, but it was destroyed by the Sword Demon Key Sword, and the establishment of diplomatic relations failed completely after killing 100 people in a row.

These clues all point to five years ago, and they outline a very cruel and terrifying hypothesis in Sachiko's mind.

Suppose that this girl is very important to Keysword, and it was Keysword that attacked the Spiritual Institution and brought her here.

If you assume again, this girl became like this in the plan to annihilate the Sword Demon of the Juhe Council five years ago?

Well, in the same year, he hacked and killed dozens of members of the Juhe Society, just to take revenge.

It all seems to make sense, but in this case, who is the devil?

Is it a keysword? or is it a ...... The Residency?

And five years ago, Sachiko also agreed.

While it wasn't up to her, and she didn't know what she was approving of, she was one of the participants.

Although all this is her assumption, the degree of plausibility of this horror, as if hinting at her, is the truth.

She covered her mouth in disbelief and tried to tell herself that it was just speculation and that none of this was true.

She took two steps to the side, tripped over something on her foot, and stumbled and fell on top of the thing.

This is...... Thousand Sons Key Sword?

Sachiko looked at Keysword who had fainted in the thick mist in surprise, his whole body was cold and shivering, and she touched his forehead.

It may be that in this cold environment, his hands are frozen cold, and he only feels extremely hot when he touches his forehead at this time.

This sword demon who terrified the entire Dongzhou actually fainted here at this time, still with a fever?

And beside him, lying quietly his saber - Red Demon Star Muramasa.

If you pull out your knife at this time, you can easily kill him.

The young head of the family, Sachiko Shiratori, angrily killed the sword demon Qianzi Keysword. She even thought of the news headline, and that moment was the real glory of the ancestors.

But reason made her lose the ability to think, and gradually her consciousness began to become very blurred, and when she woke up again, she was already standing in front of the sofa in the living room.

Keysword lay quietly on the couch, covered with a thick blanket, the thick heating in the room finally working, and Sachiko felt that her body was finally starting to warm up.

"What am I doing? Even if I don't kill him, just let him go, and I can go home. Sachiko regrets it now, but if she was given another chance, she didn't know what she would choose.

Perhaps, he will still choose to save him.

Although the cold faded, the high fever did not improve, and the ice pack turned into water in the warm environment after a while, so I had to go to the dark room again and again to change the ice, but fortunately, the temperature in that room was low enough, and the ice cubes were temporarily supplied, so I was busy all night.

The next day, his condition improved somewhat, and by noon, Xiaohe did not come, so she had to find some rice by herself, cook porridge and feed him.

Keysword had been groggy all the time, and Sachiko had been tired all night, and as the head of the house had never served a person like this before, he was curled up on the sofa next to him and fell asleep in the afternoon.

I don't know how long it took, he woke up suddenly, and Sachiko was awakened by this small movement.

"Are you awake?" Seeing that the person who had been serving for a night and a day finally woke up, Sachiko subconsciously said excitedly.

But Keysword was also excited, but not a grateful thanks, but a hand that pressed her to the couch.

Sachiko then realized that she was still a kidnapper and a hostage, and she fell from heaven to hell at once, and the huge contrast made her feel at a loss, and she couldn't even think of begging for mercy, she just looked at him in horror.

"Why am I here...... Koyuki ......"

Sachiko used to be called Xiao Xing, but at this time, her mind was blank, and she subconsciously said, "What Xiao Xing...... I'm right here......"

"You're not lucky...... Koyuki!" He let go of Sachiko and rushed out of the living room in a rage.

She knew he must have gone to the dark room, and quickly followed.

Still cold and dark, full of white mist, she saw Keysword kneeling in front of the glassware that contained the girl, muttering something in his mouth, she felt that she should not disturb him at this time, but such a cold environment was absolutely fatal to this patient who had only recovered from a high fever.

"It's too cold here, your fever hasn't subsided, get out and ......"

"Get out of here!" the keysword said angrily, picking up the Red Demon Star from the ground, pulling out the knife, and the red blade slashed through it in an instant.

Sachiko screamed and collapsed into the icy white mist.

That shout suddenly woke Keysword from his dream, and Mu Ne dropped the knife, stepped forward mechanically, fell to his knees, and helped Sachiko up.

Maybe it was because he was already in a state of madness, coupled with this high fever, and Sachiko's skills were not bad, she dodged most of the knife, and only scratched a thin blood mark on her cheek.

"Little Luck...... I hurt Yuki...... I ......" Keysword muttered inexplicably, picked up the knife, and slowly approached his neck......

Sachiko, who had recovered from it, saw him like this and quickly grabbed his knife.

"Koyuki?" Seeing that Sachiko woke up, there was a hint of brilliance in the eyes of the key sword.

"Yes, yes, I'm Xiao Xing, how many times have I said it, come out with me. Sachiko reluctantly got up from the ground and grabbed him by the arm.

This time Keysword did not resist, and it was still up to her to take her out of the dark room, back to the living room, and back on the couch.

"Little Luck...... Don't leave me ......"

Sachiko has imagined countless scenes of being violated and tortured by this uncle, but he didn't expect him to call himself in such a fleshy tone, and he couldn't help but stand on end, and pulled his hand out, "Uncle, am I very familiar with you? You can't be really a pervert, right?"

She has heard a lot about the sword demon, all of them are slashing people, she has never heard of a woman, let alone a child, and she really doesn't know much about his life style.

Sachiko sat away vigilantly, and said as softly as possible, "Good, get a good night's sleep." ”

Keysword was very cooperative, and fell asleep quietly. Sachiko breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that it was really a toss-up, but now she couldn't sleep, for fear that this thing would do something strange while she was asleep, and looked up at the clock, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, so she got up to prepare dinner.

He seems to have a fever that has subsided a lot, and he needs to eat something delicious at this time, Sachiko remembers that when she was sick before, she was uncomfortable eating white porridge, but every time she was about to get better, Ah Ping would get some food with a strong taste for her, and she could feel the joy of recovering from a serious illness every time.

She saw that there were still instant noodles in the refrigerator, so she boiled two packets, but did not put seasonings, but after cooking, she took them out and soaked them in cold water.

During this period, she watched TV for a while, and when Keysword woke up, she went to the fire and put the oil, threw the instant noodles into it, and fried two plates with the seasoning packet.

"Let's have dinner. ”

Keysword looked much better, for instead of going berserk or becoming a nymphomaniac, he reverted to the same apathy as before.

He came to the table with a poker face again, and when he saw the fried instant noodles she made, he was surprised and said, "Who taught you?"

"I thought to myself, when I was a child, I had a very strong taste, so I tried various instant noodles, and this is the most flavorful. Sachiko said, intoxicated with her own food, and finally had a serious meal after a tiring day.

"Xiao Xing she...... I used to like to do this too......" he said, sleepwalking slowly and taking a bite, and actually cried.

Crying? Looks like he's not getting better. Sachiko looked at him in shock, but it didn't take long for her to feel like crying too, and he looked very sad.

"That...... Who is Yuki...... It shouldn't be me, right?"

"How could it be you......" Keysword suppressed his tears and forced his composure to say, "Xiao Xing is my daughter. Her name is Chiko Yuki. ”

"That's about the same name as my name, my name is Sachiko Shiratori. ”

Looking at Keysword's surprised eyes, Sachiko said angrily, "Uncle, you kidnapped me for two days before you knew my name?"

"Last night......" He ignored Sachiko and asked directly about last night.

"You didn't close the door of that dark room, and the cold air leaked out, so you woke me up, but fortunately I found you, otherwise you would have frozen to death inside. ”

"Could it be that Xiao Xing is protecting me...... It must be ......"

"It's me, Sachiko is protecting you, okay? Also, my name is Sachiko, and whoever meets me will be lucky. She suddenly boasted her name proudly.

"You and her...... It's really like that. ”

Sachiko gradually put away her smile, remembering the girl in the dark room who was burned like a monster, maybe it was her daughter Chiko Yuki, and asked with some sadness, "The one in the dark room...... How did she become like that, right?"

His eyes suddenly became sharp and painful, "Five years ago, the Convergence Society blocked me in a shopping mall in Ginza, and the fierce battle caused a fire, and I am lucky that she ......"

Sachiko remembered that the plan of five years ago, the Ginza fire, was decided by the round table, and she voted in favor......

"You hate us, don't you?"

"I don't hate it now. Keysword's answer surprised her, "Hundreds of lives, coupled with the isolation from the world, I think Dongzhou has repaid enough." ”

Sure enough, he did all this five years ago for revenge. But since he chose to forgive, it shows that he still has a trace of humanity.

"Could it be...... You want to challenge my aunt in every possible way, but also for a little luck?"

"Defeating Liang Yue is my life's dream, and it is also our family's fate for hundreds of years. The key sword said coldly, as if there was still a demon living in the heart of this sword demon at this moment.

"Moreover, as long as Liang Yue is defeated, that old man will be able to understand who is the real samurai of Dongzhou, and Genji is just a traitor who wields power!"

"Are you trying to bring down Genji?"

"You're just pawns of Genji. When I realized that Genji had made the plan and that they were still domineering, I realized that no matter how many people I killed, I couldn't hurt Genji. ”

So...... He just wants Genji to disappear from the spirit world?

It turns out that his revenge has never stopped. He's still the Shura Sword Demon.

But this kind of sword demon doesn't seem to be the same as what she knew before.

Both of them were silent, each full of thoughts, but it seemed that there was no such barrier as before.

Maybe it's because the way they look in each other's hearts has changed.

At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the sky outside the window. Keysword immediately rushed to the window, looked at the bright fire flickering in the sky, and laughed and said, "Liang Yue!"

"You're going to ......," before Sachiko could finish speaking, the keysword had already jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Sachiko looked in the direction of the firelight, "That's ...... Shengyue Pavilion?"

Under the firelight, Seiyakaku stands in front of Mt. Fuji and shines brightly.
