Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 299 Torture
At noon, a group of people rested in a relatively open place.

The stipulated time was to return to the stronghold before six o'clock in the evening, and they still had an afternoon.

Perhaps it was because of the morning's journey and a few battles, big and small. The four of them were a little tired, eating quick-heating food, and didn't speak.

The action was approved by Akira Nakazawa.But there is a premise, that is, safety is the first criterion. In case of an emergency that cannot be dealt with, run away as soon as possible and send a signal for help.

It seems a little unreasonable for four people to go looking for a missing player who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Finding the ghost gate one day earlier will give the exorcists more confidence. After all, once they know the key to this war, the next thing to do is to close or destroy the ghost gate.Moreover, Mount Fuji's defensive line is not particularly well manned, so those talents are equipped with the best equipment in order to prevent the monsters from breaking through the blockade.

Whether it is to allocate manpower to search for the ghost gate or to defend, it is a more sensible approach.

But there is no way, if you don't do this, you will definitely make other exorcists feel bad.

Even out of humanitarianism, the missing exorcist cannot be given up.

Nozomi Arakawa remembered a movie he had seen called "Saving Private Ryan".

This film tells the story of the whereabouts of Private James Ryan after the Normandy landing. General Marshall, out of humanitarian considerations, ordered the front line to organize an 8-man team to search and rescue Ryan in the hail of bullets. In the end, Ryan They were rescued, but in the team of eight people, only two survived in the end...

With the lives of six people in exchange for one life, what they are doing at this moment is similar to what those eight people are doing. Although the conditions are different, the essence is the same.

But irresponsible value comparisons between life and life are pointless.

Understanding "eight save one" is the best interpretation of the word "companion".

Kazuya obviously understood this, so he proposed the "search and rescue" action to Akira Nakazawa.

And everyone present also understood.

Therefore, to live you must see people, and to die you must see corpses.

"Now, can you tell me?" said the man in samurai armor, his armor gleaming in the light of the lake.

"Um...ahem..." The exorcist coughed up a mouthful of thick blood, "You're dreaming!"

Looking at the man in front of him who would rather die than surrender, the man in samurai armor silently drew his sword and then swung it.

The man's left leg was cut off, the incision was smooth, and the broken main artery could still be seen.

A green sharp-eared monster beside him stopped the man's bleeding with grass ash winkingly.

The man's eyes were so red that they almost popped out.

He was on the verge of fainting for a moment, but the piercing pain brought him back to consciousness.

"Next time, it will be your right leg."

"Kill me! Kill me, you bastards!"

Gritting his teeth and persisting for a while, the man roared out hoarsely, with snot and tears covering his face.

The green sharp-eared demon kicked the man impatiently. Although the strength was not strong, the sharp and dirty nails pierced the man's left eye.

The man was very humiliated when he cried out in pain, but he had no strength to resist, and he couldn't even commit suicide.

Both arms were severed and now even the left leg is gone.

Just last night, he was still fighting the demon.But just as the battle was drawing to a close, the green, sharp-eared monster descended from a tree, knocked him out with a hammer, and dragged him into the thick grass.

Looking at the flattering expression of the green sharp-eared monster, he immediately realized that the man in warrior costume in front of him might be the person who commanded the monster.It's a pity that he lost both hands and a leg, so he couldn't send any message.

The samurai looked at the exorcist in front of him who would rather die than surrender, and couldn't help admiring him.

Enduring the unbearable pain of ordinary people, and not yielding to the enemy's sword, this is a warrior.

A man in samurai armor silently looks at the palm of his hand.

"What am I...?" he asked himself.

It is a disgrace to cut off limbs instead of giving pleasure to a defeated enemy.

But this is all for Genichiro...for Wei Ming...for this, I can give up Bushido!Give up everything!Even human nature!
The samurai picked up the knife, ready to give the man a good time.

Being cut off from the body, but still keeping a secret...

For this kind of people, it is impossible to get any valuable information from their mouths only by physical torture.

But at this moment, the green-skinned and sharp-eared monster stopped him.

"My lord, leave it to the little one, I will pry out the information about the man with the magic eye from him!!"

The samurai did not reply, but took a deep look at the man, put away the knife, and left without looking back.

Only then did he realize his hypocrisy. He obviously wanted to give the man a happy life, but he still placed his hope on the demon...

... * ...

After taking a short break after lunch, the group moved forward again.

Kazumi put his hand on the tree trunk, and the golden filaments swam like lightning.

After a period of recuperation, he can use [Ripple] again, but it is obviously impossible to use it to the extent of the ferris wheel.

He has just regained his talent and needs time to polish it.

But even so, it's possible to use ripple to probe the surrounding environment.

"There are no living things within 130 meters..." He Mi opened his eyes after a while, "But I found some traces, follow me..."

A group of people advanced about 100 meters, passed through the woods ahead, and there was a clearing.

There is a pile of charcoal left over from burning wood on the ground. It seems that someone has built a bonfire here and rested.

At this time, Arakawa Wang found a pile of black and red traces beside the campfire.

"Is this blood?" He dipped his finger into it and smelled it, and it really smelled strongly of blood.

"This is human blood," Aono said. "It's blackened and oxidized. It should have flowed down five hours ago."

"Could it be the blood of a demon?" He Mi asked.

"Impossible, the blood of monsters has only two flavors, one has a special fishy smell, most of these monsters are ugly in appearance and cruel in character; the other is because their blood contains high iron, it tastes like a The feeling of licking steel, the latter is more like a monster, more rational, and can be communicated with." Ao Ye obviously has a better understanding of this aspect.

"I searched the surrounding area, but I didn't find anything special, and I didn't find any footprints." Said the last exorcist in the team.

"There shouldn't be only one pool of blood..." Arakawa Wang said, "This injured person should have had a simple hemostasis treatment, otherwise we can find the direction along the blood."

"Isn't the clue broken?" said the exorcist, "Now we have no clue at all!"

"Don't worry." Nozomi Arakawa said, "It's useless to panic, Kazuya, can you use Ripple to search again?"

"I can try."

Kazumi squatted down and pressed down on the ground evenly. Golden ripples swam on the ground like a swarm of snakes, swimming in all directions.

They are like loyal scouts, go to the front to spy on information, and then return with precision.

It is almost impossible to find a person who may be possessed of illusion in this vast forest without clues.

After waiting for as long as 3 minutes, Kazumi spoke: "In the west, near the wetland near the lake, there is a little bit of magic left."

"The wetland near the lake?" Qing Ye was taken aback, "If I remember correctly, it should not be on the planned route of the exploration team."

"It's not on the established route, which means... the magic power there is not left by other exorcists..."

"The only possibility is the missing person." Arakawa Wang said.

Without further ado, a group of people rushed over immediately.

After searching for more than an hour, they found the missing exorcist near the wetlands.

After seeing the extremely angry scene, Arakawa Wang rushed over with the veins on his forehead popping out.
