Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 363 Cautious man

The man found no one in this area, and turned to the north. At this time, she took the opportunity to escape from behind the tree, jumped up the steps of the exit step by step, and returned to the street in the middle of the night.But she didn't just run away, but took off her shoes and threw them into the grass, and returned to the woods.

The moment she hid behind the tree, the man turned his head.

She let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she came in time and was not found.

The reason why she didn't just leave was because she was so familiar with this place that she even calculated the time it would take for a man to search an area.

The woods were not too big, and within the time it took for her to climb the steps, the man could search one area and then turn around to search the next one.

She speculated that if she fled directly to the street, she would be overtaken by a man even if she ran to the middle of the empty road with her current speed, even if she took off her shoes to cover up her footprints, because the blood had already flowed into the shoes along her legs, There are bound to be traces.

Because of the darkness, she didn't hide much blood along the way.

She squatted down slowly and peeked through the gaps in the grass.

As expected, the man found the exit and ran towards it quickly.

That's right, that's what she was waiting for. The reason why she left footprints was not to escape from here, but to give him the illusion that she escaped from here.

When a man walks to this exit and sees the footprints, he will think that she has already run onto the street. It is not difficult to go to the street without animalization, and she has not completely lost her ability to move.

Although it is late at night, there are still many ramen restaurants open. Japanese office workers come back to ramen restaurants to eat after drinking, because the Japanese say that drinking is really just drinking, and there are only a few dishes to eat. Lost, so they will most likely choose ramen to fill their stomachs after drinking.Not only that, there is a 24-hour convenience store next to it, which is a good place to avoid being chased.

In this way, he has only two choices. One is to make up his mind to kill Mizumoto Saina and search for ramen restaurants and convenience stores one by one, and the other is to give up hunting.

Regardless of the choice, Mizumoto Saina can escape unscathed.

Although the injury was not light, surviving was the greatest victory.

As Mizumoto Saina thought, the man followed his footsteps up the steps.

But then he stopped at the top step and didn't move around, which made her heart lift up again just after letting go.

The man stood for a few seconds, then went down the steps and came back, which was even more unexpected to her.

"I know you're nearby," the man said. "Your tricks can't fool me about where you are."

Mizumoto Saina almost bit her lower lip.

She couldn't figure out why?
It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the soil on the soles of the shoes is dry. When you reach the top of the steps, there will be almost no dirt left except a few grains of dirt. A man should not be able to use this to judge whether he is still hiding in the woods...

Through the bushes, she took another peek at the man, and the latter's gaze was slowly wandering around, and then began to walk towards the forest ahead.

It turned out to be like this... She understood.

In fact, the man is not sure whether he is still in this forest at all.

He just wanted to make sure that there was no one in this area, so that he could go to ramen shops and convenience stores to search with peace of mind. Because his leg was injured, he couldn't run far at all, so he would definitely hide in those places and call for help!

And it only takes two or three minutes for him to search this area. In two or three minutes, no matter if he asks for help from other exorcists or calls the police, he can't come here in such a short time unless there is a group of exorcists. Groups of people pass by the door of the ramen shop, but this is completely impossible.

If she was so lucky, she would definitely buy a lottery ticket the next day.

After searching the front, the man turned back and headed in her direction.

This is the only place he hasn't searched.

Mizumoto Sana struggled to move her body. She had no strength left. She had only one leg left, and her whole body was in pain. If she couldn't move quietly and quickly, she would definitely be found.

In this difficult situation, she made a bold decision.

She gritted her teeth and cast a strengthening magic.

Although she doesn't have any qualifications to learn magic, she can still use some simple magic.

With the blessing of magic power, she supported the tree trunk and forced herself to stand up.

Should still be able to move for about 1 minute...

And this minute is the minute that determines her life or death.

She followed the man's footsteps and rotated against the tree trunk, always keeping the man and herself "face-to-face", so that the thick tree trunk would cover her figure.

The man is moving, and she is also moving, because staying there is not a good choice. If the man does not find her here, he will go to the east exit, and there is a high probability that he will be found if he stays where he is.

Gradually, the man came to the place where Mizumoto Saina was first found, because this was the starting point of her escape, and she would naturally search here again in the end.

And the mobile phone was still on not far from the man's feet, and the edited message was just a matter of pressing the send button lightly, and it could reach the hands of every exorcist.

And Mizumoto Saina was behind a tree not far from the man.

She leaned against the tree trunk and couldn't stand up anymore.

I really have no energy left.

Then there is only resignation.

"Hmph, did you go to hide in the street? It's useless, you can't run with one leg than mine."

The man was about to leave, but saw the mobile phone with the screen still on on the ground.

He leaned forward and glanced at the time.

"No, there is still 1 minute, I should be more cautious, search this place again, and search this small forest again." He said, "Maybe you are hiding in some corner, right? Since this forest is divided into four areas, then I will search them one by one."

As soon as the words fell, he flew up, and Mizumoto Saina couldn't do anything at the moment.

She has run out of strength and can only resign herself to fate.

One minute is so fast, so fast that she has no way to show her life in full in her mind.

The sound of the man's footsteps approached, and he walked in the direction, which was exactly where Mizumoto Saina was.

Her chest rose and fell slightly.

"Mom and Dad, bless me, bless your daughter, I just don't want to die in the hands of a lunatic like this!"

After another six steps, no, five steps, when the man went around the second tree in front of him, Mizumoto Saina would definitely be found.

Five steps, four steps, three steps...

The man didn't deliberately hide the sound of footsteps, because he was still capable, and the prey had no strength to fight back. Every sound of footsteps sounded like the echo of a death knell in Mizumoto Saina's ears.

...two steps.

……last step.
