Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 292 Mist Crow

Wuyi Yizhi sighed: "We are now 'surrounding' Mount Fuji, sealing off the entire mountain to prevent the monsters from escaping, and shrinking the encirclement to thoroughly investigate the exact location of the ghost gate. This is roughly the case."

"Is the progress fast?" Arakawa asked looking at the towering crater in the distance.

"Almost, in a week at the latest, we will know the location of the ghost gate. If we don't have the key then... I will kill the ghost gate." Wu Yi Iori said.

Half an hour later, the priestess on her shoulder fell into a deep sleep.

Not far away is the road, and across the road are residential areas.

Arakawa Wang's pace became more and more heavy, but soon the exorcists lurking nearby discovered their presence through night vision goggles and thermal imaging cameras, and immediately surrounded them.

"Is it... a member of Wu Yi's family?"

After approaching, someone recognized Wu Yi Yizhi.

Here are some exorcists with relatively high combat power. Their authority knows that she has done some very difficult tasks and killed many powerful demons who absconded in the Battle of the Hundred Ghosts at Night.It can be said that nine out of ten people present are fans of Wu Yi Yizhi, and the rest are fanatics.

However, they did not know Nozomi Arakawa, and they carefully looked at the strange man in front of them, fearing that he was transformed into a demon.

A piece of valuable information brought back by Kishimoto Kosuke and others has been known to all exorcists.

That is, among the monsters, there is a type of monsters that can change their appearance by touching others, which is very dangerous.

The war is about to break out, and everyone is like a bowstring that is tense, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Nozomi Arakawa was about to explain when a familiar voice came from the crowd in front of him.

"It's okay, put down your weapon, he is an exorcist, I know him, he is not transformed by a demon."

A man with night vision goggles came out, he took off the night vision goggles: "Long time no see."

"Kazuya?" Arakawa was taken aback.

"Well, it seems that your rescue was successful."

Seeing that the two people seemed to be very familiar with each other, the exorcists finally let go of their guard and continued to return to their "posts".

This is a very flexible defense method. When the person defending a certain position dies or leaves, someone will take over that person's position.Where there is a gap, someone will automatically go up to fill the position, avoiding confusion to the greatest extent.

"Hey, help me get this miko down, I can't hold her anymore." Arakawa Wang said.

He Mi was taken aback: "You call this a hug?"

At this moment, Nozomi Arakawa is not so much hugging, it is better to say that he is carrying the blood-stained witch Yi Yizhi.

If it were an ordinary person, they might think that they saw the first scene of murder and dumping of corpses.

"I can't help it, I have to take a knife with one free hand." Arakawa Wang looked directly at Kazuya, and handed Iori to a woman who just arrived.

"By the way, when did you come here? You didn't say anything after you were discharged from the hospital."

Ke Mi didn't respond, he smiled when he saw the woman who came over: "Then I won't bother you."

After speaking, he turned and entered the jungle.

"What the hell..." Nozomi Arakawa turned around in doubt, and happened to meet the woman's eyes.

After a moment of silence, he blinked: "Good evening."

"Good evening, brother." Qiuxue looked at the witch in her arms, and couldn't tell whether it was pity or love.

"Come back to the residence with me first, she's in a bad situation." Qiu Xue shifted her gaze to him.

Arakawa nods, and puts away the wedge ball.

……

The small Japanese-style room is neat, and the heat from the stove warms the whole room.

Qiu Xue tidied the quilt in the inner room, and gently placed Wu Yi Yizhi on it.

"Brother, it's getting late, you should go to bed first."

"Well, I want to take a shower first..."

"The bathroom is in the room on the left at the end of the corridor." After putting Wu Yi Yizhi on the floor, Qiu Xue began to check her injuries.

Arakawa looked towards the corridor. This is a building similar to a Japanese tea room, so you can see the view of the courtyard outside from the corridor.

However, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at the moment. He was thinking about how to deal with his injury.

Owl's gray mist has a mysterious power, which limits the use of wound medicine gourd and autumn night potion.

It is very difficult to heal the wound caused by single-mindedness by ordinary methods.

Closing his eyes, Nozomi Arakawa began to think of a way in his mind.

Now he has two permanent effects of [Ninja Pharmacological Knowledge] and [Special Medicine]. These two permanent effects can not only improve the recovery effect of the wound medicine gourd, but also provide the pharmacological knowledge that Wolf and Yongzhen are familiar with. .

The wolf was trained by the owl, so maybe he knows something about how to deal with this kind of gray fog.

And Miss Yongzhen, as the adopted daughter of the rare miracle doctor Daoxuan, is very skilled in medicine. She can even find a way to cure dragon cough, and maybe there is a way to cure it.

After some searching, he found a way to deal with the gray fog.

That was a method that the wolf sorted out later.

The so-called owl's gray mist is just to block the body's meridians, so that the medicine cannot circulate in the body and play a role.

The solution to this is also very simple, that is to use heat to force the fog out of the body.

Nozomi Arakawa happened to be in the bathroom, and immediately took action.

He filled the bathtub with water of a suitable temperature, and then poured all the potion of Autumn Night into it, exuding a refreshing herbal aroma. This potion can also be used externally.

Then he submerged his body in hot water...

"Hiss..." Arakawa Wang gritted his teeth and observed his body.

Sure enough, after a while, some gray things drilled out through the pores and floated in the water in flocculent form, like ink dripping into the water.

Although it worked, the effect was not very obvious.

"Sure enough...does it still have to be like that?"

Nozomi Arakawa climbed out of the bathtub, sealed the doors and windows, then took out the paper figurine and floated it towards his neck.

After a while, the glass door of the bathroom was covered with steam.

……

It was estimated that Arakawa Wang would not come out for a while, so Qiu Xue took off Wu Yi Iori's blood-stained clothes, wiped her body and applied medicine.

"Stop pretending to be asleep," she said.

Wuyi Iori slowly opened his eyes: "I can't fool you."

"Why do you want to go?" Qiu Xue asked while taking the medicine.

"Don't you know the reason?" Wu Yi Yizhi said, "But you, why did you come to the West Lake?"

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question." Qiuxue said, "You are not allowed to die, you still owe me!"

"Can I take this as agreeing to my confession?"

"Don't think too much." Qiu Xue held down Wu Yi Iori, who was a little excited. "The price for taking away my first kiss is not light."

"Don't worry..." Wu Yi Yizhi calmed down, "I've figured it out, I probably won't go out for a while, and I'll stay in the stronghold to recharge my batteries until the day the ghost gate is opened."

But what she didn't expect was that Qiu Xue pinched her cheeks, which made her look a little funny.

"I didn't say that, what I said was...you are not allowed to die." Qiuxue said, "I don't allow the exorcist I teamed up with to die like this, even if you really want to do that, you have to wait for me to die first Don’t do that again, or I will do everything possible to stop you! No one knows what the consequences of destroying the ghost gate will be. Destroying a door is more likely to cause the passage to be closed again, and... Do you know the consequences of destroying the passage of laws in this world? You idiot!"

Wu Yi Yizhi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

It turned out that Qiu Xue, like her grandfather, did not want to bear the price of killing the ghost gate.

"I thought you hated me," she said.

"I hate you, but you don't hate that much except for your thoughts."

Qiu Xue turned her head away, not to look at the tearful Wuyi Yizhi.

The witch in front of her is indeed very beautiful, with good skin and figure. Qiu Xue wanted to be a man, how could she reject her?
"What about him?" Wu Yi Yizhi looked towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor, "Do you hate him?"

"That's my brother..." Qiu Xue pursed her lips.

"But you are not related by blood, right?" Wu Yi Yizhi said, "Why don't you try?"

"There are girls better than me, and my brother deserves better."

Qiu Xue applied the medicine to Wu Yi Yizhi more forcefully, and she gritted her teeth in pain.

Wu Yi Yizhi no longer mentioned the matter of Nomo Arakawa, so as not to find fault for herself.

"But your brother doesn't remember me. He played with me when he was young..."

Suddenly remembered this, so it popped out of his mouth.

"Don't mention it, absolutely!"

When Qiu Xue, who was originally calm, heard these words, she pressed towards Wu Yi Iori like a hungry wolf guarding her food.

Wu Yi Yizhi was obviously taken aback by Qiu Xue's appearance: "I, I will pay attention. Also, can you stop doing this, sticking too close will cause me to misunderstand..."

Qiu Xue let out a breath and sorted out her thoughts.

"I beg you, don't mention this matter to your brother, okay?" Qiu Xue put on a rare weak state.

"Of course." Wu Yi Yizhi said, "I'm not that boring. By the way, in fact, you don't have to protect him so much. He is much stronger than you imagined. Your method of tying him to your side It's useless, he should be the one to tie you up, lest you always do something out of line."

Qiu Xue was not annoyed by this sentence.

She looked towards the end of the corridor and murmured softly, "Brother is safe, he won't die."

……

Nozomi Arakawa came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, feeling rejuvenated by the second spring of his life.

All the horrible wounds on his body had healed over.

After forcing out the black mist in his body, he took the wound medicine gourd, and then soaked in the water mixed with the autumn night potion for a while, except for the air being a little stagnant, everything else was fine.

And Qiu Xue thoughtfully prepared a change of clothes for him outside the bathroom.

When he came back, he saw that Wu Yi Yizhi had woken up, and Qiu Xue was about to pick her up.

"Brother, are you done washing? I'll take her to clean up the blood and dirt on her body. You should rest first."

"Okay." Arakawa Wang nodded, "It's a little slippery inside, be careful when slipping."

Walking out of the room, he didn't plan to sleep now, but planned to take a stroll in this clean and elegant courtyard, and let the meridians flow more smoothly by the way.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Kazumi, but thinking that he was still on duty, Nozomi Arakawa gave up the idea.

After all, it is impolite to interfere with other people's work, not to mention that if a demon is released into the world because of him, the consequences will be very serious.

The sky is cloudy tonight, and the full moon hangs high in the sky.

Looking at the cherry tree in the courtyard that was no longer in full bloom, Nozomi Arakawa noticed something.

"So it's already early summer."

A breeze blew, and the cherry blossoms fell from the treetops, but Arakawa Wang saw a creature in the distance through the treetops.

No, to be precise, he had eye contact with that creature.

It was an owl, very old, with drooping corners of its eyes. It didn't have the bright pupils of a bird of prey. Instead, it looked like an old human with cloudy eyes.

Looking at the owl, Nozomi Arakawa felt a sense of irritability inexplicably.

It's like someone is staring at you with gloomy eyes, which is annoying.

He stared at the owl, always feeling a little familiar.

After careful identification, he vaguely saw that the left eye of this gray owl seemed to be squinted... To be precise, it had to be squinted after suffering some kind of blow.

But at this moment, the old owl shook its body, then flapped its wings and took off, shedding a lot of feathers.

Nozomi Arakawa wanted to try to scare the owl with the shuriken, but for some reason, the owl crashed directly into the flight path of the shuriken.

I thought the owl would die, but a miraculous scene happened. It seemed that the owl was shot and flew away leisurely, but there was only a feather stabbed at the tip of the shuriken...

Seeing this, Nozomi Arakawa was suddenly startled.

Yes, he knows the owl!
That's... Xiao's Ninja Beast!
He looked at the nearly black feathers, and thought of his ninja tool—the Mist Crow.

He was startled, and suddenly thought of some kind of speculation.

Located in the Susui Forest in the outskirts of Ashina, there is a bird named "Mist Crow". Even if it is caught, it will only leave its feathers and disappear without a trace. In addition to the fog in the Susui Forest, no one has ever known about it. its true colors.

The wolf's battle memories were quickly flipped through in Arakawa Wang's mind, and every move and style was like a non-stop frame photo that kept flipping through in his mind.

That's right, it was exactly the same. In that battle with Quan Sheng's foster father, this "phantom bird" appeared.

Because it doesn't respond to Naruto, it can be sure that it is not an illusion, but a real existence!
And the owl will frequently disappear when the wolf attacks, and leave behind a pile of feathers, just like the legendary "Mist Crow"!
So he can basically be sure now-Xiao is watching him! !

Nozomi Arakawa didn't mind being watched all the time if he could. What really disturbed him was that the owl had already flown away.

It was as if the enemy had seized the opportunity to attack and withdrew his eyeliner.

This is the precursor to the beginning of the war.

Arakawa's brain was spinning rapidly. The exorcists who went out to search for the ghost gate during the day were resting at the moment, while the exorcists who were ambushing and guarding the surrounding areas were resting during the day. They were full of energy and highly focused at the moment.If Xiao really wanted to attack, where would he come from?
Since the other party is a ninja, you have to think like a ninja.

"Air raid?" Arakawa glanced at the open area of ​​this residential area, and there were not many trees.

But immediately, he fixed his gaze on the West Lake in the distance.

--waterway.

Arakawa Wang turned and went back to his room, picked up Wedge Maru and Undead Zhan.

As soon as he arrived at the lake, Nozomi Arakawa carefully observed the seemingly calm surface of the lake.

After several minutes, there was no sign of it.

"Could it be that he is just monitoring?" Arakawa Wang had this idea in his heart.

The moment his mind relaxed a little, a thick arm full of veins burst out of the water, like a smooth mirror was broken, and that big hand locked Arakawa Nozomi's throat.
