I subvert Hokage with Onmyoji

Chapter 104 The Crushed Trust
Seto Joichi and Rinko were separated by a distance of about ten meters, their eyes dodged from each other, and they did not dare to look at each other directly as usual.

The sun has gradually climbed to the top of the head, shining straight down with fine spots of light, the breeze blew by, the tree shadows swayed, and the sun's spots also swayed back and forth on the two of them.

Seto Joichi leaned against the broken tree trunk, panting slightly, the shaman's palm that slapped him on the chest before was extremely powerful, at this moment, just a simple breath would cause a tearing pain in his chest and abdomen.

The boy lowered his head to look at the grass on the ground, but he kept staring at the girl's feet not far away from the corner of his eye, and couldn't tell what it was like.

After a while, Lunzi pinched the hem of his clothes and suddenly said, "Brother Yongren...is he dead?"

Seto Takeo was stunned, blinked, and after a moment of silence, he didn't hide it as before: "Well, it might be so."

Lunzi smiled miserably, and the corners of his eyes were a little tired: "Then, should I die first, or brother-in-law die first?"

In the words, there is a sharp blade hidden.

Seto Joichi suddenly raised his head, stared at Rinko in disbelief, his lips trembled slightly, and his tone became excited: "No, none of us will die!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the dark woods on the right: "Through this dense forest is the central tower, as long as we reach the central tower, we will pass the second exam!"

The boy spoke faster and faster, as if trying to prove himself.

"Lunzi, I will protect you and never let you get hurt!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely pass the exam!"

"You, you have to trust me!"

When talking, Takeo Seto kept staring at Rinko, but he didn't see the expression on Rinko's face that she would believe no matter what he said in the past. It's just countless hesitation and hesitation.

Something seemed to have collapsed in Seto Takeichi's heart, he leaned against the tree trunk helplessly, and smiled miserably: "That's right, Rinko, you don't believe me anymore... that skeleton man is right, we are all bewitched, Bewitched!"

"Monsters, shikigami, what are these...? Rinko, you never mentioned it to me..."

Seto Jo supported the ground with his hands, and the blue veins on his forehead were exposed. With all his strength, he stood up staggeringly, clutching his chest, and walked towards the dense forest alone.

"Lunzi, if you still have some trust in me, come in with me, if you don't want to..."

With his back to Lunzi, the young man lowered his head slightly, with a bitter smile on his lips, and dragged his seriously injured body into the dense forest.

The darkness gradually engulfed the boy's figure.

Lunzi stood where he was, stroking the straw man in his arms, struggling all over his face.

……

As soon as he entered the dense forest, the sunlight was completely blocked behind the dense tree shadows. Seto Takeichi was in a low mood, without any energy in his body, and he didn't even notice that the figure of Oni Shiguro appeared in the darkness in front of him.

"You still have half a day." Gui Shihei said lightly, staring at the young man's dull eyes.

Seto Joichi was stunned, and looked at the black figure in front of him in a daze, without even showing any fear in his eyes.

"Half a day... I can only live for half a day?"

Ghost Messenger Hei glanced at him up and down, and said, "Your appearance is no different from being dead. Why don't I take your life now."

Seeing Guishiguro stretching out his pale hand towards him, Seto Joichi's eyes finally became more fluctuant, subconsciously took a few steps back, and "cracked" a branch under his feet.

A crisp sound rang in the boy's heart.

Why can I only live for half a day?

Didn't this black shadow say that as long as I say the name of the instigator, I can live?

A so-called shikigami monster who appeared out of nowhere, after a few words, Lunzi didn't believe me?

Takeo Seto's breath stopped suddenly, and then his face gradually became ferocious, his fists clenched and his teeth gritted!

Lunzi... Lunzi doesn't trust me anymore, so why should I die for her? !
Why bother?

Being provoked so easily, why has she ever considered me important in her heart? !
It's not worth dying for her!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The boy suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his hair was disheveled, and he looked crazy!

"The person who is going to die...not me!"

As soon as Seto Jo put away his smile, his face was calm, and he couldn't even see a trace of the madness before, but only the calmness that was suppressed to the extreme.

He turned back slowly, looking coldly in the direction he came from.

The young man didn't realize that the ghost had disappeared without a trace.

……

When Rinko caught up with Seto Joichi, he saw Seto Joichi leaning on a tree trunk with his hands on his chest and his eyes closed.

Lunzi took a deep breath and kept his distance.

Seeing that the wound on Seto Joichi's chest was still slowly oozing blood, Rinko inexplicably felt a little relaxed.

Takeo Seto was seriously injured. Even if he wanted to kill himself at this time, I am afraid that he is not incapable of fighting.It was precisely because of this thought that Lunzi chose to follow.

And the most important thing is that all of Seto Joichi's previous behaviors were self-centered, Rinko is not stupid, she can feel that she actually trusts Seto Joichi more instinctively in her heart, but the events of the past two days have disturbed her. broke her mind.

As soon as Seto Takeo opened his eyes, his gaze was as gentle as ever, and he opened his mouth softly, just like when he and Hayato waited for Rinko to appear since childhood.

"You came."

"Hmm." Lunzi said, kicking the branch on his toes.

"Then let's go, the central tower is not far away." Seto Joichi stood up with the trunk of the tree, and walked forward first, without any clues in his behavior.

Lunzi moved her lips, and suddenly said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Seto Takeshi paused, turned his head after a while, and said with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about Rinko, since you are here, doesn't it mean that you still believe in me in your heart? Since you believe in me, I will naturally same as before."

The young man spoke sincerely and firmly, and his smile was as warm as before. Lunzi's heart seemed to open up as if some shackles had been broken. She found that in the shackles and deep in her heart, there was always the shadow of the young man.

Lunzi stood on tiptoe and jumped gently, looking very happy: "Hee hee, Brother Zhang Yi is the best."

As she said that, the girl jumped to Joichi Seto's side, took Joichi Seto's arm, and walked into the dense forest with the boy.

The girl has already forgotten about the butterfly spirit witch and Gu master.

As soon as Takeo Seto looked at the girl's bright side face, an imperceptible shadow flashed across his smiling eyes.

……

The dense forest in the Death Forest wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. Seto Joichi was injured, and the two stopped and walked, and they didn't reach the edge until night fell.

Outside the edge is a steep slope, even a cliff. It is almost difficult for ordinary people to walk down smoothly. If Seto Joichi is in good condition, it will be no problem, but now it is not easy to walk.

The steep slope descended sharply, reaching a depression after about [-] meters, and the central tower was only a river away from the depression.

"Let's rest for a while, wait for me to recover some strength." Seto Joichi sat down on a rock.

"Well, Brother Zhangyi, you rest, I'm going to make a fire." Rinko ran away to pick up dry branches after Seto Zhang sat down firmly.

When she came back with a bundle of branches, Seto Joichi was already lying on the rock and fell asleep.
