Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 304 Puppet Technique
In the hot spring hotel, in the carved room on the third floor, the tea in the bone china cup was already cold.

The rainstorm came without warning, making the hearts of everyone present half wet.

"Is it raining again?" Asano monk was smacking his lips.

They had just finished a meeting and decided on a strategy for the next week, but now it seems that this strategy has to be changed.

"The concentration of magic power in the air has increased a lot..." Akira Nakazawa frowned, "There is no warning at all, just like the previous few rainstorms."

"The concentration of magic power contained in this rain is so high, maybe the monsters are using some kind of ritual to speed up the process of opening the ghost gate?" Wuyi Fan said.

"It's not the magic power contained in the rain, but the magic power in the thunder and lightning."

An old voice came in as the door opened.

"I'm sorry I'm late, I helped Nanju deal with some monsters before." Arakawa Hideyoshi raised his gray eyes and said.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, come here, sit here, I'll pour you tea." Monk Asano greeted him with a smile.

"No, I still have things to do, I just want to ask, what will you do next?" Hideyoshi Arakawa said.

"According to the original plan, we will advance towards Mount Fuji within seven days until we find the ghost gate..." Akira Nakazawa said, "But the situation has changed a bit now. There is another news from the Meteorological Bureau that there is something wrong with Mount Fuji. The precursor of the volcanic eruption... This is the phenomenon before the gate of hell was fully opened decades ago."

"That means we don't have much time left, right?"

"That's right," Nakazawa Akira said, "the 'key' is still in the hands of the person who opened the gate of hell. Now our only trump card is the magic eye of the Wuyi family, but no one knows the consequences of doing that. But if we can If you find the ghost gate in advance, then the black hand behind the scenes will definitely come out to stop it, and defeating him at that time will also get the key, which is a safer way."

"I heard that your granddaughter survived?" Monk Asano touched the witchcraft fan with his elbow.

"What?" Wu Yi stared, "My granddaughter is not dead, are you unhappy?"

"Where is it?" Asano said seriously, "I mean, it's time for us old guys to do something. Help the young people push towards the center from different directions...Of course Iori is our trump card, we have to use it That girl hides it well, and the hidden trump card will be useful. When you arrive at the ghost gate, if you can't get the key, you have to let her go."

"That's the truth." Arakawa Hideyoshi nodded.

"So you can't be lazy this time." Monk Asano said, "Can your eyes still work?"

"Yes, but it can't be used for a long time." Wu Yifan said, "And I don't know if it's because of age, the dead lines I can see are much less than before. For example, old monk, I can only You found 37 lines on your body, but I remember that you had 142 dead lines on your body...Of course, maybe you, an old bastard, are not far from death, so the number of dead lines has decreased so much."

"Heh, what's the matter, my health is very good now." Asano Monk smiled, "Every day's breakfast is oysters and rice wine."

"However, I refuse to let Yizhi kill Guimen." Wu Yishan said, "This kind of thing should be left to experienced people."

"Experienced?" Asano Monk gave him a white look, "Have you ever killed a ghost?"

"At least I killed more demons than you."

"Even if you kill more monsters than me, can you guarantee that you will not have any problems? You have also said that your magic eyes are deteriorating."

"Is there? I also said that it may also be that you, an old bastard, will not live long."

Wu Yifan sighed inwardly, the thing she feared the most happened after all.

Choose between a good knife and a rusty old knife, the latter will be discarded, the former will be taken to the battlefield.

Wuyi Yizhi will eventually bear the price of killing Guimen...but he doesn't want that.

"Okay," Arakawa Hideyoshi interrupted the two people who were fighting each other, "I have a way to send both Wu Yi's grandfather and grandson to the ghost gate. If you can't kill them, your granddaughter will, is that okay? Now that we have decided to speed up, let’s assign the area under our jurisdiction, I’ll go to Beilu.”

"Then the two of us...go to Nanyu?" Asano said.

"I set off from West Lake." Wu Yishan sighed, "By the way, I will protect Yizhi."

"That's how it is, the blockade will be pulled forward, and soon the area of ​​activity of the monsters will be compressed to a very small point. It is inevitable that a battle will break out at that time. I will stay behind and do a large-scale operation." preparations and logistical supplies in the same way," said Akira Nakazawa.

Just when Arakawa Hideyoshi was about to go out, he was stopped by Wu Yifan.

"If the situation is critical, you will break the seal of the Arakawa family, right?"

Arakawa Hideyoshi turned around: "No, because even if it is untied, it is meaningless. My grandson can't help this war."

Without further questioning, Wu Yifan and Asano Kazumi looked at each other, confirming the guess in their hearts.

"Aren't you going to see him?" he asked finally.

"If it's on the way..."

Arakawa Hideyoshi's hunched back became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

... * ...

A demon is on a tree, ready to rest.

It is said that it will enter the human world soon, so it spent a whole day grinding its claws and teeth, because it likes to eat intestines, but fresh large intestines are greasy and not easy to grasp, so they can be fixed with sharp nails It's much better to live.

Just as it was about to close its eyes, the grass not far below made a movement.

It was overjoyed, maybe there were rabbits and foxes there, which could be regarded as delicacies for it that could not eat human flesh.

It bent down, bent its knees, and jumped down towards the grass.

It was at this moment that a voice came out from behind the big tree behind him.

As the silver trail passed by, Nozomi Arakawa grabbed the back of the monster's neck, and thrust his right hand into its brain.

【Puppet Art】Activate!
The monster's body twitched at first, but only for a short time.

Nozomi Arakawa completely destroyed its consciousness, and now it has become a walking corpse, with a faint blue-purple light floating in its eyes.

"Start the clock from this moment." Nozomi Arakawa said.

This was the third monster he had killed. With the help of hearing enhancement, it was not difficult to find the monster. He specially caught a few single ones to practice.

The first one was not successful at all, because after he inserted his hand into the demon's brain, he didn't grasp the strength well, and accidentally pinched his brain into a mess. Although he succeeded the second time, he still needed a demon to do it. As a reference, see if there is too much difference in the time the two can act.

"Let me ask you, what are you doing today?" Arakawa Wang said.

"I, I'm grinding my teeth and claws."

The demon's human speech was not very fluent, and Nozomi Arakawa had to repeat it several times before he could barely understand it.

"Where is the ghost gate?" He continued to ask.

"I don't know. When I woke up, I was already at the foot of the mountain. I just felt very painful and hot."

Arakawa sighed.

It seems that even demons know very little about the ghost gate.

However, its answer was almost the same as that of the last monster, it felt very painful and hot, and when it opened its eyes, it was already somewhere in this Mount Fuji.
