Chapter 204 The story from the mouth of the ghoul (Part 2)
The story continues.
Although Aoki is very suspicious of Sawada Tomohiko, he has no evidence and cannot stand up and accuse Sawada Tomohiko casually. Therefore, Aoki can only decide to take one step at a time, hoping to discover something strange about Sawada Tomohiko, and then expose Sawada Tomohiko in one fell swoop.
true colors.
Because after the rain and the sky cleared, Sawada Tomohiko seemed to be a different person. He led the mercenary group directly to Ziwu City and arrived at the Kanna Shrine, which was located on the outskirts of Ziwu City. Only then did he find that the defenders of Ziwu City had already fully mobilized.
He collapsed and retreated to Kanna Shrine.
Speaking of Kanna Shrine, this is the existence that Sawada Tomohiko boasted to Fujiwara Gengyin. Sawada Tomohiko claimed that this Kanna Shrine was blessed by gods, and even if the demon army came to attack, it would be impossible to break Kanna.
of the shrine.
Thinking of this, Aoki was a little worried that this Kanna Shrine also had problems, just like the dilapidated shrine.
However, due to a sudden riot at that time, the Sawada family was besieged in Kanna Shrine, so Sawada Tomohiko immediately led a mercenary group into the siege to resolve the riot.
Here, Aoki felt more and more that something was wrong with Sawada Tomohiko, because Sawada Tomohiko, who went to the "battlefield" for the first time, was really a little bloodthirsty. He just went up and started killing indiscriminately, and the more he killed, the more energetic he became. In the end, Sawada Tomohiko was already covered in blood.
He was talking and laughing with his father without any pressure.
At this time, Aoki found an opportunity, came to Fujiwara Gengyin, and told Fujiwara Gengyin about his suspicion of Sawada Tomohiko.
At this time, Gengyin Fujiwara had actually discovered the problem with Tomohiko Sawada. However, like Aoki, Gengyin Fujiwara did not dare to act out and leave at will because there was no evidence to prove that Tomohiko Sawada really had a problem.
After all, this would ruin the mercenary group's reputation.
Ever since, Fujiwara Gengyin and Aoki reached a consensus to continue to stay with Sawada Tomohiko. If Sawada Tomohiko really has a problem, then they can also avenge those brothers who died inexplicably.
If Sawada Tomohiko has no problem, then Fujiwara Gengyin and Aoki can make a good profit.
Because Tomohiko Sawada's crazy performance shocked those who besieged the Sawada family, the Sawada family once again gained leadership. The head of the Sawada family also knew that it was not too late to settle accounts after the fall, so he did not delve into this matter at that time.
matter, and directly began to arrange various matters for counterattack against the demon clan.
At this time, Aoki's mercenary group was officially hired by the Sawada family and was assigned to Sawada Tomohiko's subordinates, responsible for assisting Sawada Tomohiko as the vanguard to attack the demon clan.
So, adhering to the principle of not delaying anything, the Ziwu city defenders, who had eaten and drank enough the next day, finally switched from defense to attack for the first time and began to attack the demon clan's position.
Because the demons did not expect that the Ziwu City defenders would dare to counterattack at first, they were carelessly opened by the mercenary group led by Sawada Tomohiko. Then all the one hundred demons responsible for building the demons' forward positions were killed.
Among them, Sawada Tomohiko killed more than sixty demons alone!
The powerful Sawada Tomohiko used his own actions to boost the morale of the Ziwu City defenders, although the Ziwu City defenders also lost hundreds of people in this round of fighting.
Take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
Sawada Tomohiko led a large force to the Demon Clan's base camp, but the Demon Clan's leader was not a vegetarian. After learning that the forward position had been captured, the Demon Clan built new defenses at the base camp.
What follows is a big battle. Although Sawada Tomohiko is powerful in combat, the overall power of the demons is much higher than that of the Ziwu city defenders. In addition, Aoki can see that Sawada Tomohiko is deliberately letting go of others who have participated.
The rioting defenders of Ziwu City were used as cannon fodder, so the mercenary group, which was the main force of the attack, also began to take action.
Therefore, after paying a price of more than 600 people, the defenders of Ziwu City, led by Sawada Tomohiko, finally won the victory, although they paid a bloody price.
After the victory, the work of rebuilding Ziwu City naturally began. Fujiwara Gengyin had already discussed it with Aoki and left Ziwu City directly after taking the money. Unexpectedly, he was directly recruited by the Sawada family to become a guard. After all,
The Sawada family was short of manpower at that time.
Fujiwara Gengyin and Aoki didn't notice anything strange about Sawada Tomohiko at that time, so they decided to stay with the Sawada family as guards. After all, they had good food, good drinks, and money.
After the reconstruction work of Ziwu City was basically completed, the Sawada family began to settle accounts. Sawada Tomohiko personally acted as the executioner and killed those who had participated in the riot.
At this time, Aoki had a special feeling, that is, Sawada Tomohiko was no longer Sawada Tomohiko. Aoki felt that the current Sawada Tomohiko seemed to be a completely different person.
Therefore, Aoki suddenly thought of a story he heard from his father when he was a child, a story about a demon sword.
In that story, an ordinary farmer suddenly dug up a beautifully crafted samurai sword while plowing his fields. After playing with it for a while, he suddenly felt that he had learned an amazing set of swordsmanship.
So he went to compete with the local samurai and defeated his opponent completely.
As a result, this farmer began to have an inflated mentality and called himself the best samurai in the world. Then he began to challenge those long-established samurai. The farmer who had won many battles with the samurai sword suddenly one day challenged a certain warrior.
The samurai vomited blood and died, and the katana disappeared in full view of the public, so it was called the demon sword.
Aoki's father told Aoki that this demon sword absorbs the soul and blood essence of the sword holder, and then feeds back the powerful strength of the sword holder, and then warned Aoki to be careful of such weapons of unknown origin.
Therefore, Aoki felt that the big sword in Sawada Tomohiko's hand must also be a demon sword, and it was the kind of demon sword that could control people's hearts, because as Sawada Tomohiko killed more and more people, this demon sword had more influence on Sawada Tomohiko.
The control is getting stronger and stronger.
At this time, the wandering warrior appeared.
The wandering samurai described by Aoki is almost the same as the wandering samurai described by Naoki Kuroba, but the wandering samurai described by Aoki has a strong sense of justice and is the kind of hero who roars when he sees injustice on the road.
Just like this, another half year has passed, and the Zetian family has become the well-deserved local overlord of Ziwu City. Even the newly appointed officials of Ziwu City have to consult the head of the Zetian family when encountering major issues.
At this time, Sawada Tomohiko, who had nothing to do, decided to take back the statue of Sulu at the suggestion of Kanna Shrine’s main priest, Kanna Ryoko.
That’s right, the head of Kanna Shrine at that time was called Kanna Ryoko!
Hearing this, Liu Xing immediately asked Aoki: "Aoki, the Kanna Ryoko you are talking about..."
Before Liu Xing could finish asking the question, Aoki nodded seriously, looked at the Kanna Shrine not far away, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Kanna Ryoko is her, but we will talk about her last.
"
When Liu Xing saw Aoki's fierce look, he honestly chose to shut up.
Aoki continued to tell the story.
Under the persuasion of Kanna Ryoko, Sawada Tomohiko took his wife Kanna Keiko, and under the protection of the wandering warriors, he took several farmers who were responsible for carrying the Sulu statue to the dilapidated shrine on the outskirts of Ziwu City, so in
At the beginning, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin were not arranged to accompany Sawada Tomohiko.
But not long after Sawada Tomohiko set off, Kanna Ryoko sent someone to notify Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin, asking them to take twenty mercenaries to protect Sawada Tomohiko.
Although they were a little confused, Fujiwara Gengyin and Aoki could only obey Kanna Ryoko's order, casually counted the number of people, and headed to the dilapidated shrine based on their memories.
As a result, when we were walking halfway, it suddenly started to rain heavily, just like that time.
After Aoki communicated with Fujiwara Gengyin, he decided to move on and head to the dilapidated shrine to take shelter from the rain.
When they arrived at the dilapidated shrine, Aoki, Fujiwara Gengyin and their group had already turned into drowned rats, but fortunately, Sawada Tomohiko and the others were still resting in the shrine.
But at this moment, Aoki felt that something terrible was about to happen here, but as a samurai (self-proclaimed), Aoki felt that he could not retreat from the battle.
At night, the heavy rain still showed no sign of letting up, so just like before, everyone went to the wing behind the shrine to rest. After all, there were fewer people this time, and the wing could accommodate everyone.
However, at this time, Aoki's anxiety became more and more serious, so he never fell asleep and could only listen to the sound of rain and think about life.
I don't know how long it took, but Aoki heard the strange sound again. He immediately stood up and came to the door, observing the situation outside the door through the crack in the door.
This time, Aoki did not faint for no reason, so Aoki saw Sawada Tomohiko and Kanna Kaiko walking stiffly into the main hall of the shrine.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Aoki immediately went out to wake up Fujiwara Gengyin, and then met the wandering samurai who came out after hearing the sound.
Aoki told Fujiwara Gengyin and the wandering samurai about the current situation, and the three decided to go to the main hall of the shrine to find out. As a result, before the three of them entered the main hall of the shrine, they saw a green light covering the main hall of the shrine.
, and the big sword that Sawada Tomohiko had been carrying suddenly appeared in mid-air, paused for a few seconds, and then flew towards the east.
The three Aoki glanced at each other, and the wandering samurai nodded and chased in the direction where the sword flew away, while Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin planned to enter the main hall of the shrine.
But the green light that enveloped the main hall of the shrine was like a protective shield. Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin could not enter at all. Just when Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin decided to wake up the others, they tried to break the green light with weapons.
At that moment, the green light suddenly shrank, crushing the main hall of the shrine, and then turned into a ball of light and fell into the ground.
After witnessing this scene, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin felt that their three views were instantly shattered, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
After Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin came to their senses, they woke up other mercenaries and began to search for traces of Sawada Tomohiko and Kanna Keiko in the ruins of the main shrine hall. Naturally, they found nothing.
Early the next morning, the wandering samurai still did not come back. After discussing with Fujiwara Gengyin, Aoki planned to return directly to Ziwu City to report the matter to the Sawada family. As a result, just after returning to Ziwu City, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin came to visit.
Seeing Kanna Ryoko leading a large group of troops, he captured them without saying a word.
Suddenly arrested, Aoki looked confused and wanted to speak out to defend himself, but Ryoko Kanna cast a spell to silence him, and then Aoki and his party were imprisoned in prison.
After being held in jail for a day and night, Aoki was blindfolded and escorted to the mass grave at that time, now the Rose Cemetery.
Then Aoki heard Ryoko Kanna reading out his charges, and he actually betrayed and killed Tomohiko Sawada and Keiko Kanna!
Feeling that he had been wronged, Aoki tried to break free from the rope, but he felt like his whole body was being burned by flames. He was in so much pain that he finally passed out.
As you can imagine, Aoki woke up and suddenly found that he, Fujiwara Gengyin, and other brothers had turned into monsters that were neither human nor ghosts!
What's even more terrifying is that Aoki suddenly felt an indescribable hunger, forcing Aoki to devour nearby corpses.
After temporarily feeling full, Aoki found himself in a cave under a mass grave!
Next, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin calmed down their companions who had some mental breakdowns, and realized that they were cursed by Ryoko Kanna, which made them look like this. Therefore, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin planned to find them.
Kanna Ryoko asked for clarification.
As a result, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin, who were preparing to sneak into Kanna Shrine in the middle of the night, found that Kanna Shrine was shrouded in a barrier, and they were unable to step into Kanna Shrine!
Faced with this situation, Aoki and Fujiwara Gengyin could only choose to leave and find other ways to relieve the curse on themselves.
Ever since, as the leader of the mercenary group, Fujiwara Gengyin, who felt that he had harmed everyone, decided to leave Ziwu City and go to other places to find a way to lift the curse, while Aoki stayed in Ziwu City and was responsible for leading the remaining people.
His companions are living in Ziwu City.
That's right, just surviving.
In the early days of becoming ghouls, although Aoki and others had powers far beyond ordinary people and could attack and occupy Ziwu City like the original demons, Aoki still decided to maintain his true nature as a human being and hide in the darkness.
Deep in the cemetery, he was lingering, waiting for Fujiwara Gengyin to bring back good news.
As a result, this wait lasted for a hundred years. Although Aoki could still stick to his heart, some of his companions had fallen into madness and began to go out to attack humans, truly turning from humans into ghouls.
Just when Aoki was about to lose control of the situation, a young man suddenly appeared in front of Aoki. This man was Fujiwara Gengyin, who was promoted to a ghoul elder!
It turns out that Fujiwara Gengyin has been wandering around the island country for a hundred years, looking for a way to lift the curse. Finally, in a cemetery outside Kyoto, Fujiwara Gengyin met a dying ghoul elder.
With the help of the ghoul elder, Fujiwara Gengyin was promoted and gained the ability to transform into a "human"!
