148, Ghost Extermination (6) Gothic Rose(1/2)
I held Zenyi's back collar in one hand and the not-so-long Sun Wheel Knife in the other hand. I took big steps and rushed to the alley where he pointed out the screams. Although Zenyi was always yelling and scared, he was never vague at the critical moment. When he started fighting (sleeping), a golden light dropped a ghost's head, and he spoke more timidly. But this time when we approached the entrance of the alley, he grabbed me with trembling.
"No, don't go over..." Shanyi widened his eyes in horror, and even his voice was light. It was not the high-decibel screams he had feared before, but the sound he seemed to be afraid of something, and he used the Qiyin that could only barely hear clearly.
"Don't go over, glory... What a terrible voice, different from what I had encountered before, so terrible, don't go over!"
"...a terrible sound?" I was slightly stunned.
What sound can be called terrifying? Horror movie bgm? The murder weapon cuts flesh? The sound of body tearing? Or the last breath of hot air that a dying person breathes out from his trachea?
All I can think of is this, but if it is such a "terrible sound", then we should be faster. If there are survivors in the alley, then I might have saved my life one step earlier!
――While that said, Zen Yi is really a bit wrong this time.
Before, he would cry in fear when he met a ghost, but he had never pursed his lips tightly, fearing that he would be heard. He should have shouted loudly about his fear.
So, this time it may be really different. Maybe I will encounter ghosts who have improved their combat power by n levels. I have never encountered guys who can fight before, and I don’t know how high-level ghosts can fight... There is no shortage of big guys in the dungeon who I can’t beat. What if I encounter them in this dungeon.
I have nothing to worry about with Resurrection Coin, it’s just a stubborn head, but Shan Yi can only live a life.
I pondered for a moment.
"My wife, you're waiting for me here." I let go of the hand holding his back collar and pulled out his knife and stuffed it into the palm of his hand:
"If you encounter danger, use a knife to protect yourself. If you can't beat it, go over and look for me..." But when I think of someone I may not beat, if he comes over, he will give him a head. I changed my subject: "Forget it, if you can't beat it, run away first. If you can't run away, then go over and look for me."
Everything will be fine. Not to mention anything else, I still believe his escape speed, which is comparable to Iida's unique trick "piston engine burst sprint", and it's so fast that I can't even react -
"That's it." I made a conclusion.
"I'll go over there and take a look."
...
Don't go.
It was really a terrible sound, super terrible, especially terrible. My wife, Simon Yi, had never heard such a terrible sound. She was so scary that her body felt like she was filled with lead and could not move for a step. She opened her mouth but her throat couldn't make a sound. Her heart was nervous and she jumped straight on, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
―Isn’t this guy Rong Glory afraid of death? He feels something is wrong? Otherwise, how could he let him stay here and not go there? This guy is like he’s prepared for something!
"..." The blonde boy opened his mouth blankly, then looked down at the knife in his hand, then looked at the bamboo sticks that had eaten up all the balls, and then looked at the little sparrow that had been "Jiujiu" for a while, his expression changed, and finally he closed his eyes as if he gave up, saying, "Okay, I understand! I'll just follow him, right?"
"That fool! fool! fool, big fool!"
―――
Two corpses were lying in the alley, blood was pasted on the mossy walls and ground, and the dim street lights were glowing red, adding a viscous breath of blood to the bloody and cruel scene -
So, what about the guy who caused all this?
I looked at the alley that could be seen at first glance. There was nothing but two obviously unsuccessful corpses and a few pools of blood. It was as quiet as a chicken, and there was no one in it.
“…isn’t it right?”
The moment I saw the vision away from the wall, I seemed to have seen a figure? Why did I disappear after I could just scan it? I can't have read it wrong, right?
I was unwilling to give up and circled around these two miserable corpses, not finding anything else, nor did I have any traps that I was cautiously vigilant about. It seemed that the guy who did such cruel things was a coward and ran away when he saw me.
The voice of Zenyi floated over, and he shouted, "How can you protect me if you die?" He ran here, and it didn't sound like he had encountered an opponent he couldn't beat. Instead, he seemed to be worried that I would be killed and supported. I silently took back the Sun Wheel Knife that was pulled out and said to Zenyi who rushed to me in one breath:
"-Let's call the police."
"Wow, how much blood, were these two people killed by ghosts? Have you not encountered ghosts? Then I just heard the sound of a clanging instrument - what?!"
He said a lot without breathing, and then realized what I said, looking at me with a dumbfounded look:
"……Call the police?"
"Yes, call the police." I glanced at him strangely.
Isn’t it normal to see a dead person calling the police? Why does his behavior seem to be calling the police is a very strange behavior?
"There is no trace of being gnawed on the corpse. If it is a ghost, you will want to eat meat, right? Maybe it's not a ghost's hand. In this way, it's necessary to call the police." I touched my chin again and thought.
"Is it possible that it is a murderer? If it is a human, it may not have run far away. If we look around, we might be able to meet it?"
"--I said you can figure it out!" Zen Yi interrupted my idea of playing a guest-starring detective. He hugged his head and looked broken, as if I had said something that ruined my views.
"You have to know that we are now members of the Demon Slayer Team!" He poked my forehead with his index finger in a fierce manner.
"...Oh, I know." But what does this have to do with calling the police? Can the Demon Slayers call the police?
"Ghost Killing Team, it's an unofficial organization, and everyone has a sword!" He poked my forehead again, and I couldn't help but lean back and hide. "We will only be arrested when we wear the sword in the uniform of the unofficial organization!"
“…”
It makes sense!
I grabbed his hand that was perseveringly pushing my forehead and looked at him with a sudden realization:
"Then let's change our clothes before going?"
Zen Yi: “…”
Why are you so persistent about calling the police?!!
―――
With a "clang" sound, it was like the sound of music strings plucking, and there was no ghost Wusan in the alley.
...
Red hair, red knife, flower earrings.
After confirming that his eyes were the one who made Boss Chih commit PTTSD.
...
Wusan was in a bad mood, very bad, and particularly bad.
The fear of Ji Guoyuanyi seemed to have been engraved deep in his heart. Even though he knew that he had been dead for a long time, this fear did not decrease even a little.
So, why did the disgusting flower earrings appear? There were two more! The distinctive red-haired and red knife used to be the source of his nightmare, just like a sharp knife on his neck, why did this still appear?
……etc?
Gui Wuyu calmed down and noticed something obviously wrong in his memory.
Although it is red hair, it is not the rich deep red, but a lighter soft red. It seems that there are two pairs of whites? The Huazha earrings that shocked him only look similar, but are actually quite different from those of Ji Guoyuanyi; even the red Ridge Knife is not pure, but they are a bit orange-red...
He was called out and saw Huazha earrings that remained intimidating for a long time, which made him a little nervous. Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the ropes. Gui Wuyu Y. Now when he saw Huazha, he felt like Ji Guoyuanyi's Huazha, so after seeing the ghost hunter with extremely similar characteristics, his first reaction was to run away.
The runaway ghost Wu Wusan: "..."
Gui Wuyuy's hand covered his face, and his bright red pupils could be seen through his fingers. His expression was hidden behind his palms, and no one could see his thoughts.
It took him a long time to speak.
"Ming Girl."
"Take a nearby lower string here."
―――
After being poked on my forehead by Sisy Yi for a long time, I escaped from the high decibel preaching of the various inconveniences of the "Ghost Killing Team" when I covered my forehead with a red mark.
Shanyi's voice is so strong. If I had been shouting at such a terrible volume for so long, I would have been hoarse long ago, right?
"Then do we have to leave it alone? This is not OK, right?"
I pondered for a moment, untied the knife and stuffed it to Seon Yi: "Please help me hold the knife. I go to the streets outside to find the guards. If there is something wrong, run in the direction I left. If nothing else happens, wait for me to bring the guards back. I will hide as soon as possible if you hear the sound of us coming back and don't be seen."
There may be corpses here to attract ghosts that swallow human flesh. It is also risky to stay in this place, but in comparison, there is a greater risk of traveling through dark alleys without a knife. To measure it, I should still do more dangerous things. I don’t have a knife and don’t delay too much combat power. Shan Yi relies on swordsmanship to make a living.
Besides, we can't leave the body here alone. If we find the police and find that it is empty, we probably have to go into the bureau for tea. When we look at the team uniform and the Ridge Knife, we will definitely have to escape from prison if we think about it.
"But, but..." Zenyi hugged the Rihwa Knife that was thrown into his arms in a hurry, and his expression was a little broken.
"Do you have to call the police? I have never heard of the members of the Demon Slayer Team calling the police! We obviously need to avoid the police, right? Why are you so persistent in calling the police? Isn't that right?! It's enough for us to kill ghosts?!!"
"Uh..." The red-haired boy thought for a moment:
"Probably, professionalism?"
"???" Didn't you pass the selection of the Demon Slayer Team? Where did you call the police?
My wife, Simono, looked at her little friend with a stunned look and shook her red and white Haori, walked out heroically with her flower earrings. He looked at the gloomy alley, then looked at the two miserable corpses, and hugged the two knives in his arms with tears:
"--Glory, you must come back soon!!!"
It's so scary here! Don't leave me behind for too long!!!
―――
On the other side.
Eighty percent of my companions who promised "I will do it as soon as possible" would break their promises.
...
The ghost with two horns of the forehead was leaning down in the shadow, staring at a red head with two white trunks below, with the word "Xiasi" in his eyes.
Xia Xiansi didn't know what Wusan wanted him to kill a young ghost hunter, but he had already made Lord Wusan very dissatisfied with the previous escape from the battle with Zhu. He had to complete the task assigned to him this time.
Besides... it's not difficult either.
To be continued...
