Battles in the era of cold weapons have always been cruel. Three or two seconds can be a matter of life or death. As for the magical operation of fighting for seven days and seven nights... at least Han Baiyi cannot do it.
The all-out battle between the two seemed to be quite long, but in fact it only lasted for five or six seconds. Even so, Han Baiyi was sweating profusely, the hand holding the knife was a little weak, and he couldn't bear it in his mouth.
He kept breathing heavily.
When it was almost time to rest, Yuzi jumped over the corpses on the ground with her bare feet and ran along the wall to Han Baiyi.
"Wolf, well done."
Yuzi looked at the twitching corpse on the ground, nodded to Han Baiyi with a smile on his face, touched the corpse of Yamauchi Shigenori with his tender feet, hesitantly seemed to want to kick it, but also seemed a little disgusted, and finally failed to step down.
The tone was slightly unpleasant.
"This person has been disrespectful to me." Yuzi seemed to remember something, and her face bulged angrily, "How dare you jokingly call me a woman! You are really treasonous!"
Han Baiyi had just regained his composure, and when he saw Jiulang's expression, he couldn't help but look back.
Jiulang seemed to have reacted, and his bulging face instantly shrunk back into the flat mask of a small adult. When the two looked at each other, Jiulang's eyes seemed to be calmly and indifferently questioning Han Baiyi's surprised expression: "What the hell?"
La?'
Han Baiyi pretended that nothing happened, and looked back while thinking.
This was the first time he saw Miko looking so childish.
It seems that his personality was not changed by Long Yin's power, but that he pretended to be like this in order to maintain the majesty of his master?
As if aware of his frivolous expression, Yuzi took two quick steps as if trying to cover up something, ran to the diversion city gate and pushed hard, almost lying on the door, with her bare feet scraping hard on the ground.
There are two traces, but the city gate remains motionless.
When I looked up again, I saw that the city gate was locked.
Yuzi straightened up expressionlessly, holding her little fists tightly behind her back, as if she wanted to lose her temper but was afraid of being looked down upon by her only servant.
"Wolf!" Jiulang shouted to Han Baiyi, "cut the lock! The secret passage I mentioned must go through the bridge over there!"
"No need, Master, over there you can..."
Han Baiyi was thinking about passing through the path built on the side of the city gate building like in the game, but he seemed to remember something and suddenly paused.
Yes, this is a game world, why should we follow the rules and follow the rules in the game?
Thinking in my heart, I immediately changed my words in obedience.
"As you command, Master."
As soon as Yuzi heard the rebuttal, he was about to say something to maintain the dignity of his master. When he heard Han Baiyi change his words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is right, I am the master.
Perhaps because of the sudden drastic change in his family and the fact that he is coveted by others, Jiulang currently dares not trust anyone.
The wolf who betrayed Long Yin and dared to die for him was certainly trustworthy. After all, education in this era required extremely strict loyalty for ninjas. More importantly, with the support of Long Yin, he could survive even if he died.
Now, he can no longer feel the power of Long Yin in the wolf.
When he was about to die, Miko couldn't believe it, nor could he doubt the wolf's loyalty to him.
Because he is his only help now.
So he didn't dare to ask the wolf how the power of Long Yin in him disappeared, what he had experienced, and whether he would continue to protect him.
There are simply too many nasty things that happened when the family was in trouble. Although Jiuro was young, on the day when the family was massacred, there were too many servants who abandoned their master's family and ran away for their lives.
In the eyes of modern people, ordinary servants are not dead soldiers, and it is natural to run away when the master's family is in trouble. However, for Jiulang, who has been educated by monarchs and ministers since childhood, this behavior is a fruitful betrayal.
That's why Jiulang doubted the wolf and had reservations about him, in order to emphasize his own value and identity.
And it was different then and now...
If even this only servant left now, he would really have nothing.
People are always extra sensitive when they are in danger.
That's why Kuro is so obsessed with the face and airs of being a 'master'.
"snort."
Yuzi turned around with a proud look on her face.
Han Baiyi, on the other hand, didn't think much about guessing the little ones in Jiulang's heart. He stared at the door lock of the diversion tower carefully and knocked a few times with the back of his knife, but failed to hit the lock. It was about half an inch high.
, will be blocked by an invisible force, causing ripples.
This made Han Baiyi a little surprised.
There are supernatural powers in the world of Sekiro.
Whether it is the final boss "Sakura", the immortal Long Yin, or the "wisp" or "ghost Buddha" that can allow the protagonist to instantly return to the city and the past memory world, they are all supernatural existences in the game.
However, due to the fact that the protagonist 'Wolf' is just a ninja who likes parkour, Sekiro World is basically a parkour game with hack and slash elements in the eyes of game players. In addition to these special tools, there are many
It's hard to see supernatural abilities, so even Han Baiyi was very curious about it.
"Hmm? Is it a barrier?"
Kuro's calm questioning voice came from behind.
Han Baiyi turned around, and Jiulang was imitating an adult and looking closer with his hands behind his back.
There was a little bit of pride that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
Ordinary children don’t know about such a lofty thing as a barrier!
It's just that not long after Jiulang was proud, his face suddenly drooped again, wouldn't it be impossible to get out?!
"Master is well-informed!" Han Baiyi cupped his hands and flattered him a little, then climbed up the wall and tried to look for the key from the other side.
As a result, as soon as his hand touched the top of the city, he felt as if something had slipped away. There was nothing in front of him, but there was an invisible force blocking his progress, making it difficult for him to even climb the top of the city. In desperation, Han
Baiyi had no choice but to jump down from above.
'It turns out that the route restrictions in the game are like this in reality.'
Han Baiyi nodded secretly, but there was no reaction on his face.
In the game, players cannot pass the water diversion tower when they reach it. The defeated soldier in front does not have a key. If he wants to pass, he can only climb over the edge of the wall on the side of the gate tower and cross the cliff. There is also a single-plank bridge in the middle.
One wrong step and your body will be shattered into pieces.
Han Baiyi fell down several times because of his habit of pressing the right button, which was very impressive.
I just didn’t expect that the route restrictions in the game would also take effect in the real world. In reality, the degree of freedom is a bit low.
"Damn it, in order to imprison me, they actually used the barrier..."
When Jiulang saw this, he was immediately anxious, but he forced himself to calm down and looked for a way around.
Han Baiyi didn't care about him, and was thinking about how to drastically change the plot, complete the mission, and go back early.
But after thinking about it, he didn't think there was any way to get more damage to the game in the prologue, which only featured two or three characters.
Can we just keep following the plot?
Han Baiyi bit his fingers.
Even if the protagonist dies, only 10% of the game damage is given. Han Baiyi doubts whether he can get 30% by killing the entire game.
He originally had some hope before killing Yamauchi Shigenori, the first elite monster in the game, but after killing him, Han Baiyi didn't even see a hint of the panel prompts. It was obvious that he killed Yamauchi Shigenori according to the plot inertia.
It is impossible to get the 'game destruction degree'.
You have to go against the inertia of the game plot and do things that are completely impossible in the game.
At first, Han Baiyi also thought about killing Yuzi to make up the number. The reason why he didn't do this was that killing the child made him feel a bit uncomfortable on a moral level. Secondly, Yuzi basically had no force and he could kill him at any time if he wanted. So in the future,
When the situation is exhausted, he plans to keep this reserve...
To put it bluntly, Han Baiyi was still a bit lucky and wanted to find an excuse for his conscience.
So Han Baiyi tried to change his mind.
'...You can't kill monsters because they would have died in the original plot...Is it possible to change the plot to keep them alive?'
'Well, I have an imperial son in my hand, why don't I follow Cao Cao's example and try to coerce the emperor to control the princes? Immortality should be quite tempting, right?'
Just when Han Baiyi lowered his head and thought deeply, Jiulang was sweating profusely trying to find the way. He turned his head and looked at Han Baiyi who was leisurely behind him, and his heart became even more angry.
'How could he do this? As a ninja, he actually let his master come forward to explore the way! It's really like a tiger falling flat and being bullied by a dog... Humph! Let's look at Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years! I don't believe it.
You and I can't escape yet!'
Jiulang felt aggrieved at first, then tried to cheer himself up. He pouted and muttered in a low voice, and used his small hands to open the bushes in front of him.
Suddenly, the vision was dim and bright.
A big tree big enough for a person to hug was uprooted by unknown force. The crown and roots of the tree were placed on both sides of the cliff. A natural single-plank bridge was built on the cliff, connecting the two sides of the cliff separated by the city gate tower.
This is the normal path in the game plot. Han Baiyi has run away hundreds of times, so he knows it clearly.
But Kuro didn't know.
In his opinion, this kind of escape from a desperate situation by relying on cleverness and wisdom to survive is comparable to those scenes in strange legends where the protagonist falls off a cliff and acquires a unique skill.
Even God is on my side.
His superior status and talent since childhood, as well as his sudden luck, gave Kuro this illusion.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Classmate Kuro, who felt that he was destined to be born, stepped onto the wooden bridge without any precautions. He was thinking about turning around and calling the disobedient servant to come with him.
In a trance, I seemed to see a gun protruding from the grass on the cliff opposite.
A cold shot in the dark made the kid Jiulang on the wooden bridge unable to escape. He watched helplessly as a lead bullet opened a small hole in his chest. The blood first spattered and then gurgled like a faucet that had been turned off.
Jiulang felt that all his strength was being drained out along with the blood.
My eyes are a little dark.
'Am... am I going to die?'
As his thoughts dispersed, Jiulang's feet softened and he fell straight into the bottomless abyss.
Han Baiyi stood behind and was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
'What the hell?'
This was his first thought.
However, before he could feel angry, a long groan filled his ears.
Buzz
As the saying goes, loud sounds sound loud, but elephants are invisible.
The moment this long chant rang in his ears, Han Baiyi had already lost his hearing. The cracks in his eardrums were bleeding uncontrollably. The huge sound seemed to shake the world. His cerebellum lost balance control in an instant, and his body became weak and limp.
Fall to the ground.
Everything in his field of vision was shaking non-stop, and his dizziness was mixed with a strong feeling of nausea, as if his soul was about to leave his body, and even his body didn't feel like his own.
Then, his eyes were filled with a cherry-red color.
It was a scene of an extremely huge body rushing from the bottom of the valley to the sky.
Han Baiyi didn't realize it. He only felt that the world in front of him turned bright cherry red and his body was too huge.
Dragon, what exactly is it?
Some people say that he can be ethereal or bright, thin or giant, short or long.
Some people say that he is long, has scales and claws, and can fly into the sky.
Some people say that his horns are like a deer, his head is like an ox, his eyes are like shrimps, his mouth is like a donkey, his belly is like a snake, his scales are like a fish, his feet are like a phoenix, his beard is like a human, and his ears are like an elephant.
All of these are based on human imagination, no one knows what he is like.
And if Han Baiyi could describe it, it would be huge! Huge! Huge! Incomparably huge!!
He had no idea what he was seeing, which part it was, whether it was horns or whiskers. He could only vaguely see the vague shape of a dragon. The dragon's claws seemed to be holding a long lightning sword that penetrated the sky and the earth. It was so dazzling.
Soul.
If he hadn't deduced that this was the 'Sakura Dragon' based on Jiulang's death, Han Baiyi wouldn't have even recognized what it was.
It was a mind-blowing visual experience. Just by looking at it, one could feel endless insignificance and fear. It was as if the blades of the spiritual explosion were about to sink into his body one by one. There seemed to be countless voices arguing in his heart.
Screaming and crying, the sanity of being born is emptied and even crazy in an instant.
The brain is shaking.
There was only one thought in his mind that kept imprinting the name Yinglong on this image.
No reason, no thinking, no association.
Just because I see it, I understand it.
The appearance of such a huge body did not trigger any natural phenomena that conformed to the laws of physics. Storms, tornadoes, weather changes, nothing. The world with the naked eye, which was originally overturned due to the loss of control of the cerebellum, became calm just because of his appearance.
This is not supernatural, but a completely unrealistic experience.
But the various emotions brought about by this experience were deeply imprinted in Han Baiyi's mind because of his appearance and could not be erased.
Until the endless cherry-red color disappeared, Han Baiyi still stood there in a daze, like a walking zombie that had lost its soul. The pupils in his eyes were slightly dilated, as if he had fallen asleep while standing.
Han Baiyi realized for the first time that Long Yin, who made people immortal, was a curse.
After a long time, it was not until a small white hand dangled in front of Han Baiyi that he was relieved from the shocking and stupid state. The huge mental pressure gave him a splitting headache.
Kuro, who was supposed to be dead, but was actually intact, with not even a corner of his clothes torn, stood in front of him with a questioning look on his face.
The soft little hands were raised high and kept dangling in front of his eyes.
Seeing that Han Baiyi had calmed down, Jiulang breathed a small sigh of relief, and immediately straightened up his face, making a majestic look like a master, so childish and cute.
"Wolf, hurry up! If we don't leave, we will be overtaken by Genichiro-sama's men!"
The little master's tone was fierce.
He was so full of energy that he didn't look like someone who had just died.
Han Baiyi's eyes were dull, slightly lost in thought.
'Does he really realize that he died once?'
Somehow, such an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
Jiulang waved his little hand and started to wander in front of him again, muttering something incomprehensible.
Han Baiyi didn't say anything, but looked deeply at his little master, then raised his eyes slightly, looking through Jiulang's figure in front of him and towards the grass on the opposite cliff.
There was a headless corpse lying in the grass, blood slowly dripping from the neck.
Where the head should have been, pieces of minced meat that were difficult to put together were spread out, making people feel sick to their stomachs.
Obviously, just now...he was not the unlucky one.
Surprisingly, the panel that had been silent suddenly flickered, and several unread reminders appeared.

Han Baiyi was startled at first, and suddenly felt a strong and inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Before he could react, the order had been issued, and Han Baiyi's whole body suddenly turned into dots of white light like scattered dandelions and disappeared in place.
