Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 228 Searching for the truth
The cold moonlight shone through the only skylight in the garage.

The wind and snow seemed to be much lighter, Wang Arakawa got up silently, and took a deep look at the young master and the others.

To this day, he still doesn't know if the young master's words before his death were mocking him.

But Wang Gu's eyes didn't seem to be mocking, but more like pity for ignorant people.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Wang Gu still took good care of him, never assigning him any dirty or tiring work.

But he killed people and robbed money, which is a crime.

Arakawa Wang walked outside, it was a bit cold outside, and he shivered from the cold.

Looking at the dark old house, he felt a little emotional. At this time, the relationship between the old man and them had not improved.

Suddenly, a crisp bell rang in my ear.

Arakawa was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, he quickly took out the guardian bell from his arms, and it was ringing crisply.

Sure enough, will he return when the time comes?

The surrounding environment gradually fluctuated, and when he opened his eyes again, Nozomi Arakawa froze.

He was still in the snowy forest, but it was already daytime, and he was surrounded by friends carrying firewood. They picked up dead branches, which could be used to add firewood to the fireplace, or sold in the town for some money.

The scene in front of him was so familiar... Arakawa Wang suddenly remembered that this day was the time for him to tell everyone about the gold bars.

Everyone is working now, and the time for him to utter the bullion is during the break.

"Does that mean that I didn't return to Tokyo, but came to the time point that was pushed back a year in my memory?" Arakawa Wang thought silently.

It seems that if you want to go back this time... you must meet certain conditions.

But what is the condition, and why did Guardian Bell send herself back to her memory when she was still a white guest?

Arakawa looked puzzled.

"Hey, Xiaobai, work! Don't be lazy!" A companion bumped him with the shoulder, "The bad old man found out that he was going to curse again."

Arakawa broke off the branches of dead trees and shook off the snow on them.

"It's almost noon, you work hard, I'll ask the old man when he can have dinner." At this time, the young master Wang Gu greeted him and walked deep.

Looking at Wang Gu's leaving figure, Arakawa Wang suddenly remembered that before coming here to pick up dead branches, the old man walked into the forest alone.

When the young master came back, his face was gloomy, and when he heard about the gold bars, he nodded and agreed without hesitation...

What happened in the middle?
Nozomi Arakawa suddenly remembered the role of the guardian bell.

It not only allows people to go back in time to get some precious items, but also to explore the truth.

It's like when Sekiro returns to the Longquan mansion again, in the burning ancestral hall, what he sees is not Madame Butterfly, but the adoptive father who has raised him for many years - colluding with the inner government and bandits, betraying Wei Ming and capturing the Hirata family The culprit!

"I, I'm going to the toilet." Nozomi Arakawa threw away the dead branch in his hand, and walked towards the forest.

He followed the young master, neither far nor near, hiding behind the trunks of trees, like a poisonous snake stalking its prey.

The young master saw the old man. He was about to call out to the old man, but he stopped and hid behind a tree.

The old man was on the phone, and the young master was obviously eavesdropping.Nozomi Arakawa didn't know what the old man was talking about. Now his body is Baike's body, not strong, and he doesn't have the ability of hearing and closing the senses to strengthen hearing, but he doesn't dare to approach rashly, otherwise he will be caught Discover.

This process didn't take long, the old man was still talking on the phone, but the young master's face had changed at the moment, he left quietly, and Arakawa Wang hurriedly hid.

After the young master left, Momo Arakawa, who was curious about the content of the old man's call, approached him, but when he touched the old man's vicinity, the call was over.

When going to bed that night, the young master was nestled in the corner of the garage, more silent than usual.

And Nozomi Arakawa watched the young master silently, hiding himself in the shadows.

"I'm leaving." The young master said suddenly.

"Go? Where are you going?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Get out of this place, out of this town."

"Why?" The second child was puzzled.

After leaving here, they really become a group of stray dogs, and they will never have the opportunity to sleep in the relatively warm garage.

Nozomi Arakawa listened silently, this time he did not tell about the gold bars, so most people still wanted to stay here.

"Are you coming or not?" The young master didn't explain, and everyone could see that he was a little impatient at the moment.

"There must be a reason, right?" Someone was not happy.

"If I don't come, I'll go by myself!" The corner of Wang Gu's mouth twitched.

"bullion."

Just when the scene was deadlocked, Nozomi Arakawa spoke.

"There are gold bars in the old man's safe." He indifferently repeated what his companions once said, "How about we steal the gold bars and run away? The outside world is much more interesting with money, we don't have to stay here anymore It’s a place where you can go out to spend time and drink, and you don’t have to stay here with this old man all your life.”

The companions looked at each other in blank dismay, and they suddenly realized that this kid who had been hanging out for a long time was suddenly scary.

He talked about the old man's gold bars, but there was no sign of coveting, just like the poisonous snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

Arakawa Wang's purpose is simple, he wants to find out the truth of this matter.

Since the young master is unwilling to tell the reason, then find another way.

Memories can only be memories forever, even if he kills everyone here, nothing will change, the old man will no longer lead them to pick up dead branches, and those comrades who were burned to death by him will not be resurrected.

That being the case, why not use your own eyes... to see through the so-called truth.

The young master stared fixedly at Arakawa: "Xiaobai, are you serious?"

"Well, the old man told me himself that he has gold bars in his safe, which are very valuable." Arakawa Wang said.

"Now, who wants to go with me?" the young master said, "We will share the gold bars together and leave this ghostly place."

That night, the boys began to plan how to pry the combination of the safe from the old man's mouth.

Everyone made suggestions, but none of the second child's ideas came true.

He suggested that everyone beat the old man together until he revealed the password.

Although this approach was briefly questioned, everyone eventually agreed to this plan.

"Why don't you prepare it tomorrow night?" Arakawa Wang raised his head and looked at the young master, "Let's get the money earlier and leave earlier. You can drive, right?"

... * ...

The next day, after dinner, everyone went to the garage to prepare for action. There was an old dagger next to the old man's pillow all the year round. In order to be cautious, everyone decided to wait until the old man was asleep before doing anything.

Arakawa Wang stayed in the house in the name of going to the toilet, and he was helping the old man wash the dishes.
