The bright moonlight penetrated the damaged roof and shone into a solemn mansion. This was a very tall building. At first glance, it looked like the home of a rich and powerful person.
But at this time, there was a dead silence in the house, and a biting chill spread.
This is not simply a mental chill.
Looking around, one can clearly see that there are large swaths of frost covering the walls and the ground in the entire house. It is obviously far from the frosty winter, but it seems that the house has already entered the cold winter.
The most disturbing and frightening thing is those frost-covered corridors. On the ground, there is a figure, all of which are frozen in the ice and turned into withered ice.
Some of them are crotched servants, and some are tall guards.
But at this moment, without exception, no matter who they were, they were all frozen in the ice, and all of them had lost their vitality.
Whoosh!
Two figures appeared on the outermost wall of the mansion.
They landed lightly and silently, both wearing the uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps. At the same time, they also wore a colorful butterfly-patterned fabric outside the uniforms. One had a graceful figure, while the other was petite and soft.
A year later, the Butterfly sisters are now different. Kanae learned swordsmanship from Zhen Gu. After more than a year of practice, her strength has been greatly improved compared to the beginning.
She did not participate in the previous battle that had a huge impact.
However, based on the intelligence and combat strength analysis of Twelve Ghost Moon afterwards, she believed that her strength was on par with Feng Zhu, Yin Zhu and others, and even if she could not defeat the fourth person in the upper string, she would not be able to defeat him.
It can also be restrained to a certain extent and will not lose quickly.
A year ago, anyone after the fourth position in the top string was enough to compete with more than two pillars. In a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult for any pillar to last long in front of the top string.
Compared to Kanae, Butterfly Ninja has changed even more.
The Butterfly Ninja from more than a year ago obviously still had a childishness and youthfulness that had never faded, but today's Butterfly Ninja's eyes are much tougher than before, giving people more trust.
She had gone through a lot of training during this year, and although the swordsmanship she had learned was never suitable for her, it was still helpful to her in the end. Half a month ago, she was no longer a 'flower column stepchild', but officially became a
He became one of the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, and gained the title of "Insect Pillar", establishing his own faction.
This time, the two sisters faced the same task.
——Investigating the strong ghostly aura that frequently appears in the southeast of the Yoshiwara area!
In recent months, strong ghost energy has appeared frequently in the Yoshiwara area, but the time intervals between each appearance are very short, causing several tracking attempts by the Demon Slayer Team to end in failure.
Especially a week ago, all seven members of a Demon Slayer team that was being tracked disappeared.
After this situation, the Demon Slayer Squad finally paid great attention, and Kanae, the syllabary butterfly, came to personally follow up and investigate. The newly promoted insect ninja, butterfly ninja, applied to act with her sister, and was approved by Ubuya Shiki Yōya.
"What a strong ghost spirit."
Kanae stood lightly on the courtyard wall, as if a ray of breeze could blow her down. Just one look at her delicate and beautiful face seemed to make people feel a kind of tenderness.
What didn't match that gentleness was the solemnity in her eyes.
At this moment, the butterfly ninja also looked at Kanae. The two sisters looked at each other. Without opening their mouths, they both knew that the other party had realized the same thing.
This is……
The Twelve Ghost Moon, the rising ghost!
Such a rich and terrifying ghost energy is far beyond the comparison of the ghosts of Xia Xian. It must be Shang Xian, but it is still unclear which one of Shang Xian it is.
Nowadays, the Demon Slayer Squad only knows about three people, namely Yiwozao, Hantengu and Yuhu.
Among them, Yiwozao was suspected to be the third one of the upper strings a long time ago, but during the last war it became the second one of the upper strings. What exactly happened there and where the original second one of the upper strings went is still unknown.
"Xiao Ren, be careful."
Even though her sister was already the official pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kanae still gave her a gentle reminder.
Encountering the Winding Ghost was not too unexpected. After all, the situation had reached such a level that Zhu Zhu was personally investigated, and two people even came, so anything could happen.
The two sisters, who had already been prepared in their hearts, had no idea of flinching at this time. After nodding to each other, they each became lighter and turned into two butterfly shadows under the moonlight, flying towards the depths of the mansion.
When passing over the house.
Most of the scenes in the house were also reflected in the eyes of the two sisters.
From the outside of the house to the inside, there are traces of frost covering everywhere, and ice sculptures stand there, with looks of horror and fear on their frozen faces.
"ice……"
Butterfly reluctantly murmured.
This is not the ability of any known winding ghost.
It is currently known that Yi Wo Zuo possesses the ultimate boxing skills combined with the vampire skill that can sense all breaths. He also has the ability to cut off the neck without dying. Only the irradiation of the sun can destroy it.
The abilities of Bantengu and Yuhu have also been explored. There is also another one that is suspected to have the ability to move in a large range of space and can take away a large number of ghosts in an instant. It is not yet known whether it is wound up.
The ice that appeared in front of me was another new ability.
Swish, swish.
Continue to move deeper into the mansion.
The vicious ghostly aura was getting stronger and stronger, and it had gradually surged to a terrifying level. The butterfly ninja who had just become a bug pillar began to feel a vague pressure.
finally.
The two sisters stopped in front of a house in the center of the mansion.
This is the backyard of the mansion. From here, there is no longer just a cold chill, but a smell of blood permeating the air, mixed with the stench of ghosts, wafting from the lighted house in front.
out.
Kanae and Butterfly Ninja did not stop. After landing in front of the house, they walked towards the main entrance one after another. Both of them had drawn out their respective Nichirin Swords, and their mental perception and vigilance were raised to the highest level.
The steps of the two sisters were silent.
The trap I was alert to did not appear.
After walking into the main entrance, what appeared in front was a very bright hall. Several lights were on in the hall, making the entire hall brightly illuminated.
The hall was covered with simple and expensive carpets, and the carpets were soaked with blood that had not yet dried up.
Follow the trail of blood forward.
A young man with short gray hair and a patch of blood on his head was sitting on a chair, holding his chin in one hand, with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for the arrival of the Butterfly Sisters.
In his other hand, he held a girl's head.
Only head, no body.
The fear of the last moment before death seemed to still remain on the face that had never closed its eyes.
"Oh my, the guests have finally arrived. I didn't expect them to be two such cute girls. It's really surprising..." The young man with gray-white broken hair played with the head in his hand and said with a cheerful smile: "...I'm very happy.
.”
Three words were clearly reflected in his smiling eyes.
